so far, no real benefit. i just wanted them in early so that i could raise them from "infancy" to arrancar hood- and then watch them die at the hands of Shinigami. naturally, i'm going to have expectations for their deaths, no simple overpowering, i want a *story*, i want their viewpoints on life to be shattered, i want MELODRAMATIC DEATHS!!!! that is all. their point is for story purposes mostly, and that's it. also, it is kind of fun to rp their different personalities.
