Oh, I thought I'd just be thoughtful enough for you guys to point out something about the Gotei 13 with its specializations. It's very accurate if you think about it, and I've found it on several other BLEACH RPG forums. Hopefully it helps <3
1st- Command
The one's who are in charge of the rest. The captain of 1st Division is also the captain of all captains, just as the vice-captain is the vice-captain of all of the others, and so on. They take care of commanding all of the divisions and trying to keep the peace in Soul Society. They deliver full scale messages and give the missions. The center of Soul Society security. They pass judgement on those who have broken Soul Society law, monitor the activities of the Gotei 13 as well as being responsible for relaying orders.
2nd- Special Forces/Assasination
2nd Division focuses mainly on stealth. They go in when jobs are needed done fast and clean. They also have the Punishment Force, which is similar to police. Special Forces are the unseen force that are normally sent out when nobody else can do a mission. To be in the Special Forces, one must undergo 4 extra years of training after graduating the Shinigami Academy. The captain of 2nd Division is also captain of the Special Forces and Punishment Force.
3rd- Intelligence && Information
3rd Division mainly tries to gather intelligence about anything that might be a threat or potential ally. They sort all outgoing and ingoing information and ship it off to 12th Division for safe keeping.
4th- Medical Assistance and Supply
4th Division is the relief squad. They are known for their excellent ability to heal others. While they aren't too capable in battle, they are unmatched in their ability to heal others. They work close with 12th Division to try and make items that can heal or have other positive effects on shinigami.
Despite their healing everyone in Soul Society, they are often looked down upon. It's safe to say they're the least respected division. In their third year of Shinigami Academy, they are taken out of the academy if they show skill in reiatsu manipulation for a different kind of training.
5th- Kidou Corps / Kidou Tactics and Control
The kidou corps are a group that are extraordinary in the use of kidou. The entire fifth division focuses mainly on the use of kidou and most of their zanpakutou are kidou based. Odds are that anyone who is fluent in the use of kidou spells will be placed here or encouraged to join this squad.
Those in the Kidou Corps are hand picked from the best kidou users the Soul Society can offer.
6th- Internal Affairs
6th Division handles any internal affairs, such as fights between shinigami and monitoring shinigami activity. They are also responsible for apprehending those who have broken the laws of Soul Society.
They judge those who have commited crimes and keep them under lock and key until their sentence is carried out or they are pardoned.
7th- Seireitei-Rukongai Diplomacy
7th Division focuses mainly on trying to keep the peace between Seireitei and Rukongai. They make sure no shinigami cause chaos in Seireitei and make sure that all those in Rukongai are civil. At least those close to the Seireitei walls.
Any and all complaints/suggestions/etc. are given to 7th Division and may be taken action upon given whether or not the suggestions and whatnot are plausible.
8th- Reserves and Back Up
The 8th Division are the main back-up for anyone. Their members are all varied in skill in kidou, offensive tactics, and defensive tactics. When somebody needs back up then that's when 8th Division comes storming in to the rescue.
9th- Counter Intelligence
The 9th Division keeps intelligence from leaking as well as from being stolen. They are also to prevent information from leaking to Rukongai, especially that which could cause a massive amount of panic.
They are also in charge of dealing with tactics in large-scale missions as well as against large hollow gatherings. They're also responsible for counter tactics when Seireitei is under attack of some sort.
9th Division is also in charge of the memory replacement which is to be done after shinigami fight in the human world. Because of all of this, they often work together with 12th Division, as they supply the memory replacement devices.
10th- Large-Scale Operations
They're in charge of planning, coordinating, and executing large missions. Everything runs through them first and when/if approved, they can be allowed to bring shinigami from other divisions into a group and take them with them on the mission. The shinigami that are taken are to take orders from whoever is leading the mission.
11th- Offensive Tactics
They're the frontlines and by far have the most shinigami than any other division. To quickly eliminate any problems in Seireitei, they are sent out in large floods in order to secure the situation at a fast pace. They work with many other divisions as they are the best in offense and defense.
12th- Research and Development
The 12th Division gains new information through experimentation. They do research on information from 3rd Division before storing it.
They're also in charge of creating new inventions that might help shinigami with missions and the like.
13th- Defensive Tactics and Seireitei Protection
The 13th Division works closely with many other divisions, as they send out shinigami that patrol the Soul Society and the human world. They are much like the 10th division only on a much smaller scale.
1st- Command
