I have just gotten into the anime series DEATH NOTE. I highly encourage anybody who likes the show to make a pass here and drop us a post, even if it's not a part of the roleplay.
There are rules to this roleplay. I expect that if you read this, to at least send a response as a post on your thoughts. :).
Now then. The setting of the roleplay is in modern New York. You make your character. You choose to use the Death Note for good, or for ill.
Not everyone will have a Death Note, and you can help hunt down those with the Death Note-in fact, it is encouraged! ^.^.
You should at least watch the first episode of Death Note if you have not already. It will take only a paltry 22 minutes of your time, and I promise you that each episode gets increasingly better.
For those who have not heard of or watched Death Note, it is a japanese anime about A high school student who finds something called a Death Note. It resembles a black notebook with the words Death Note on the front.
In it are instructions on how to use it.
You must write the name of the person who you wish to kill in the pages of the book. Also, you need to visualize their face. After 40 seconds, the person will die of a heart attack. However, you can also SPECIFY a cause of death, and as long as it is theoretically possible it will happen, assuming everything like the name and face are correct.
Example: You can't say someone will die in the middle of the ocean in 1 minute of a massive shark attack if they are in New York.
It's just not possible.
There is a lot more powers and privleges associated with the Death Note, but I will let you watch the anime and find that out yourself.
Now...the most important part.
================================================== =====
================================================== =====
I will PM a user, if not more, telling them they have recieved the DEATH NOTE. They can use it however they wish. They have to PM their message to me, for me to publish, so that Nobody knows who exactly has the Death Note. (Only if you are USING the Death note in your post)
;D. THAT is what makes this so wicked-nobody will know who has the Death Note and has to act in character. If you happen to notice something strange going on, feel free to investigate.
Even if you have a Death Note you can post normally in this Thread, with your character's actions. Don't give anybody a reason to suspect you, haha!!
You can narrate your thought if you wish, as well. If you have the Death Note I prefer it if you don't let anyone on with your thoughts you have the Death Note.
This post is already long enough. Note, I will control the Shinigami if you have a Death note. If you have any suggestions, feel free to write in what your Shinigami says or does. I'll probably leave it untouched. :D.
I will start with my own character first, as an NPC. And although I'll know who has the Death Note, I won't use that knowledge to make my character do anything about it. He doesn't know who has the Death Note, and as far as I am concerned is aligned with nobody yet.
I only have a few rules:
1. Have fun.
2. Be kind. Just because you know the name and face of another player, doesn't mean you have to kill them. Avoid that, unless they allow it or it adds to the story.
Don't be mad if your character is killed-I won't let it happen unless it is for a *good* reason (and only after I have consulted you first!). And if you become a main character, posting enough, there's a greater likelihood your character won't be killed, because you post quite often. :D
Also, if you have any idea's on the situation of your death, PM me and I can send those details directly to the person with the Death Note to work into their plan for your death.
And you'll only die if you become a problem to someone with a Death Note and they wish to use it on you, having the neccessary information and tactics to make it seem unrelated to them-and if it enhances the story in some way. :)
You can make up npc's as well to control. Want your own squad of subservient police officers to trail someone? Go for it! They're npc's. If you develop each one, into a person, the more detailed the more likely they won't be killed, as they are "main npc's", etc.
If you make up an npc, you control it solely! You can pass your ownership of an npc to another player, in which case they can do what they want with the npc (even kill them if they have the death note and fulfill the requirements).
Even if an npc dies while someone has ownership of them, that doesn't mean they own the death note. It would only be investigated if the characters were interacting closely in the Roleplay. So while they might have control over your npc, even if they die that person might not have the death note and doesn't neccessarily give you reason to suddenly be suspicious of them with your main character.
Also if your main character dies, you can use an NPC you have ownership of or have created and get to work detailing them to make them more of a main character through roleplay, interactions with other characters, etc.
You can do any of this at any time, just be sure not to abuse the power and stuff. You all know what I mean...don't cause any problems please. :)
How to pass ownership of NPC:
Just say Passing ownership of (insert name here) to (insert name here).
Rule for posting time:
If you haven't posted for a while, I will edit this post with your characters name below, as well as a reason for their disappearance from the roleplay. Just read the reason and make a suitable excuse for you to be posting again with your character.
And: FURS and HUMANS are allowed! If you want yiffy, that's fine, but keep it low-key please. This isn't a thread for yiff it is a thread for serious Roleplay. Thanks! ;)
