Fandom Bleach: Welcome to the Bureau of Death (Interest Check)

Yeah and they're all technically dead. That's why Uryuu became the A.

But also what Arrancar are depends. Like, do they use "vos"?

Ichigo is still alive and he's part Quincy. And perhaps Uryuu has been spreading the power once more.

To add to other people's posts, it feels like you've only taken the premise skin deep and in weird directions, where you've made this whole writeup but it ends up being not particularly distinct or even very american, see: people having to ask for a president and guns over swords.

How is the US Soul Society actually different as a setting beyond its form of government? And on that note, why would this form of government still be subservient to the Soul King when he's more a plot device that regulates the flow of spirits to the Soul Society that we see and it's the Central 46 that actually govern? If the series' Soul Society is a feudal Japan, wouldn't it make sense for the US one to more or less resemble a Wild West scenario of some sort? This'd tie together with using guns and the bureaucratic mess idea, with those close to central areas too restricted and then the further you move from there the less regulated things are.

As for the Quincy thing, much like how there was an entire supernazi ghosthunter army just hidden with Magic Hitler while everyone thought the Ishidas were the last, there could well have been others that fled to the west to escape Yhwach's grasp in ancient times. And you can actually tie this together with how obviously similar the spirit guns are to the spirit bows like, say, in the US the Reapers and Quincies managed to actually strike up a cooperation agreement that with time led to Quincy influences being incorporated into the Reapers' methods.

Hey, still here. While we're all around the suggestion box, I'd like to add that rather than make an entire parallel setting from scratch it might be better to keep it intentionally vague and just set the game in some sort of disputed territory, like the Ghost Philippines?
Like, if you were to set the game somewhere that isn't Japan or America, and then we can fill in the gaps in America's setting IC because it's now a secondary thing that doesn't need to be heavily fleshed out from step 1. And then if something new comes up you want to add midgame it's not a plot hole because obviously neither faction would know a disputed territory very well.
