First I would like to inform you that depending on approval or disapproval by staff. Tier's may be used to unlock your powers instead of post count. What would be the point of making tier 1 with a new character when you can. if you don't have enough posts for max power anyways? right? In such cases this following paragraphs ( Again depending on staff approval or disapproval ) will completely SUPERCEDE ( happen first aka replace ) this post count limitation.
A Person gets tier 2-1 on their app. They should get shikai. Name ONE person that is canon that compares to a 2-1 that DOESN'T have shikai ( no matter how shitty it may be ). you probably can't ( i know i can't ). See what I mean by using tiers for unlocking powers too?
However.. say the person has 300 posts right? but they are an arrancar as say their third character and scored a 1-3 app. That means they are considered among the strongest.. but they don't even have segunda according to post limits?? while a person that has 500 posts and is 2-2 arrancar does? How the hell is THAT fair? Granted a 1-3 would hands down whoop a 2-2 even if the 2-2 was IN segunda.. but STILL. How is that FAIR?
The above paragraphs are my examples. This ruling will allow staff to more easily moderate the flux of power being given around the forum while at the same time making it even more fair for everyone. Instead of favoring heavy posters people who stick around, prove their RP, and get some ok detail. can still get high up on the food chain.

Alright here is the list of post count limits on powers. This is not the only way to unlock powers but it is sometimes the easiest depending on the person.
Shinigami:
1 post- Shinigami Student
25 posts- Learn Shikai ( use is at half power ) and Shunpo
100 posts- Master Shikai
150 posts- Begin Training for Bankai ( Use is at half half power )
300 posts- Master Bankai
500 posts - Become aware of Toukai ( 50% power but thats still stronger than bankai by a little bit. )
750 posts - Master Toukai - 100% maximum power and true power of their bankai unleashed as their Zanpaktou keeps nothing hidden from them anymore.
Hollow:
**Note** Hollow will be branched off. You can choose to become an arrancar or become a Vasto Lorde. Unlike the series you cannot become a Vasto Lorde AND an arrancar. It will not be allowed. one or the other.
1 post- Basic Hollow -
25 posts- Evolve into Gilian class ( required to become Arrancar)
100 posts- Evolve into Adjuchas class ( requied for vasto lorde or arrancar)
150 posts- Become Arrancar / gain Sonido ( Do not do this if you intend to be Vasto Lorde )
250 posts- Obtain Resurreccion
750 posts - Become Vasto Lorde/Obtain Resurreccion Segunda ( cannot have become an arrancar in order to BE a vasto lorde )
Vizards:
**Note** Must have at least mastered shikai to become a visored. Post limits take place after achieving enough posts to have shikai. (110 for hollow possession to begin visoreds also won't get Toukai)
10 posts- Hollow Possession begins
25 posts- mask lasts 2 posts
75 posts- mask lasts 4 posts
150 posts- mask lasts 8 posts and unlock Half Hollow form at will lasting 2 posts
300 posts- Achieve Bankai and half hollow form at will lasting 6 posts
500 posts- Full Hollow Posession Form at will lasting 2 posts
750 posts- Full Hollow Posession Form at will.
Note- for special ( extremely Rare ) Vizards that have harmonized with their hollow..mask time is removed. This will be a rare case and I don't expect more than 3 or 4 people forum wide to ever achieve this no matter what.
Humans:
1 post- You have your powers but they tend to backfire.
30 posts- Powers at half strength and Blur ( Shunpo Equal )
75 posts - Powers at full strength
100 - Fullbring becomes known to you if you choose to have one at half power.
150 posts- second stage unlocked at half power
225 posts - Fullbring is now usable at full power.
300 posts- second stage Mastered - full strength is unlocked
500 posts - Hyper Mode - unlocked for 2 posts
750 posts - Hyper Mode - unlocked
Attention humans who wish to become shinigami or Hollow! you cannot undergo any of the known ways to become a shinigami unless you have mastered your human powers. This is non-negotiable! ( 75 posts )
Quincy:
1 post - form your bow and fire 5 arrows a post effortlessly.
25 posts - Gain Hirenyaku ( Shunpo equal ) ( arrow count doubles 10 )
50 posts - learn one gintou spell - Heizen
100 posts - learn second gintou spell - Gritz ( arrow doubles again 20 )
125 posts - Learn first or two unique arrow power.
150 posts - learn how to properly handle a Scheele Schnieder
200 posts - Learn third gintou spell - Wolke ( arrows double again 40 )
300 posts - learn second unique arrow power and gain Sanrei Glove
350 posts - learn fourth gintou spell - Sprenger (arrows double again 80 )
500 posts - Learn Licht Regen ( lose powers and regain them by this point )
750 posts - Use of Final form at will ( MUST have lost powers once )
Warning! All quincy's that use the Sanrei glove lose their powers upon entering Final form for the first time. This is non-negotiable. You MUST then regain your powers via thread BEFORE anything else can be learned! THERE IS NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE! Once you regain your powers you can then start learning the higher up powers.
Bounto:
1 post - Obtain Doll
25 posts - Doll is still not used to Owner, making it not as effective. 25%
100 posts - Doll Becomes closer to the owner, Granting it 50%
300 posts - Doll Becomes very attached and quite obediant Granting 75%
750 Posts - Doll human fusion is aviable and doll uses all 100%
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that you have seen the post limits and when you can learn what.
Lets discuss how things balance out.
First stage = Shikai = Quincy normal = Gillian Hollow = Bounto without Doll = Vizard Shikai = Normal Arrancar= 2nd stage
Second stage = Bankai = Quincy full normal power = Ressureccion = Adjuchas Hollow = Bount using Doll = Vizard Bankai = 3rd stage
Hyper mode = Toukai = Final Form = Segunda = Vasto Lorde = Bounto at full power = Vizard full Hollow Form = 4th stage
Thats how things balance out. You may ask "Where does the Vizard Mask kick in?"
The answer is that kicks in as a temp boost during thread like all boosts.
This is just a grand scheme of things..this is the grand plan. This is what it will happen if no other factors are involved. Your characters unique strengths and weaknesses ( and the vizard's donning their masks ) and their tier level will determine the outcome of these balances clashing together.
