In Bleach, there are Four Noble Families of the Soul Society. I know that
people can have children in the Soul Society. However, is whether you are a
part of the Noble family based on whether you were born into that family in
the real world or in the Soul Society? For example, if you are from the
original line of the Kuchiki family (in the real world) and you died, would
you become part of the Noble Family?

How do the Noble Families work in Bleach?


I do not think they went deeper into the noble houses, so I believe there is
no current information available about "How to become a noble". All the
currently available information on the 4 noble houses can be found
[here](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Noble_Houses).

There they also state:

> The Noble Houses of Soul Society have an unclear role in the culture, social
> and governmental aspects of that dimensions existence.

Some speculation from my side: I think that they were either appointed by the
Soul King or the Central 46. And I also believe the divisions are involved in
this.

This part is just speculation though.
