Snake looked up from playing Crisis Core. He paused the Sephiroth boss battle and looked around. Light - or Mr. Yagami, whatever they had to call him - still wasn't there. Snake spotted something in the air. It was a black dot, harsh against the steel-gray, overcast sky. Snake's eyes tracked it as it fell softly to earth, just beyond the walls of the academy. Snake asked Watari where the bathrooms were. The old man gave him vague directions and left it at that. Snake moved in the indicated direction until he was out of sight, glancing over his shoulder furtively. He reached where the object had fallen. It was a notebook. It was jet black with nothing but a stark white title on the cover. Death Note. Curious, Snake opened the notebook. The inside cover contained white writing. "How to use," Snake read softly, "The human whose name is written in this notebook... shall die?" Snake shook his head, "Probably some wierd emo kid who lives here." He dropped the notebook where it had fallen and turned to walk back to the school gates. Realizing too late that he had taken a wrong turn, he almost walked into a threatening figure smoking a ciagrette, talking to a blonde person. Snake started. "S-sorry," Snake said hurriedly. OoC: The notebook can stay there as long as anybody wants, that just informs everyone that the notebook is there. Plus, Snake can see whatever Shinigami it belongs to. Curses, I need to make a shinigami for that notebook! Ah screw it, just make it Ryuk's Death Note.
OoC: oooookaaaaay, slightly creeped-out now -_-'
OoC: uhmm, thelightisgone, there was supposed to be a big 'lead everyone to L and everyone's surprised at how random he is'. Oh well, the other students can still have the 'I am L' moment.
OoC: Yup. While we wait can I ask something? I read that the anime Death Note has a scene where Light and L talk on the roof of the investigation building in the rain before L dies. When is this scene and what happens in it? Because all I've seen is when Rem writes his name and L falls off his chair in incredibly slow motion.
OoC: The secret to L's success... Starbucks. ^_^
OoC: Yay! It'll be even funnier than "I am L" from ep 6 IC: Watari greeted the third student to arrive, a boy this time. His cell phone rang and he answered. He listened and hung up without talking. "There will be a slight change of plan," Watari informed the three students, "Master L has chosen to meet you in his office. When Vice Principal Light Yagami arrives he will explain as he escourts you there."
Marcus noticed a girl arrive. She had long red hair and emerald eyes. "Welcome to the academy," Watari said, "If you'd be so kind to wait here, Master L and Vice Principal Light Yagami will be here to see you." Watari repeated his warning about names. Marcus found the whole idea awkward. What sort of name was he supposed to think up? Maybe... Snake. Yeah, that's it. He liked Metal Gear Solid, why not be named after the main character. It would still be awkward, though. Marcus - or rather, Snake - raised a hand in greeting to the newcomer. OoC: D'oh! The scene probably would have been funnier if they came into his office to find him crouched on the chair eating cake, rofl
Well, looks like we have the four pivotal canon characters and a nice group of OC's. Let's begin! BTW, this Light doesn't have his Kira memories i.e. the likable Light. Marcus got out of the car. His foster mother had decided to drop him off at the new school. Marcus hardly felt comfortable with the new place. All he'd really heard between getting the scholarship and coming was that the principal was some kind of super-detective. Marcus' foster mother was talking, but he wasn't really paying attention. He looked up at the arch that stood over the school gates. L's Academy: Change the WorLd. "Who's this L guy?" Marcus said to himself. His foster mother gasped. "Not the L, surely!" she said to herself, "He's the greatest detective in the entire world!" She was a policewoman, so she had heard about him. "He's solved every case he's taken on." The greatest detective in the world, huh? Marcus thought, If he's so good then how come he hasn't caught Kira? Then again, maybe he could teach me how... Marcus waved goodbye to his foster mother, turning back to the gates as the sound of the car engine faded off into the distance. The school gates slowly opened and Marcus shouldered his bag. A figure stepped out to meet him. "Greetings, and welcome to the academy," the old man said, "My name is Watari." "Hi," Marcus replied, slightly nervously. Watari nodded to him. "If you don't mind, there are still a few students to arrive yet. When they have gathered I will take you all to meet Master L," Watari explained. Marcus nodded, dropping his bag next to the wall and sitting down. He reached in and pulled out his PSP. Just as he was loading Crisis Core, Watari spoke again. "Just a little rule we have here," Watari said, "No names. We refer to each other by an alias. I advise that you do not diviulge your real name to the other students." "Why?" Marcus asked, Crisis Core momentarily forgotten. "Names are dangerous things," was all Watari said in reply.
Lana? Who's Lana? Sure, Mello and Near need to be filled anyways. (I have the funniest mental image of Near teaching Arts and Crafts :D)
I'm sorry if I'm supposed to know you, I have an awful memory :S Hmmm, this seems about ready to start, since L is just about the pillar of this and we have three (four includign Matt) students. Would the kids know about L being the world's greatest detective? (considering Matsuda had to have it explained to him) If so, we could repeat the epic reveal from episode 6. (hehe, "I am L.")
*gasps* I am SO sorry! I had no idea! I was watching Death Note and ICSP admitted to being an L fan. I imagined ICSP as L and Repliku as Light. I didn't know that someone else had done a simialr idea!
Oh my god... Random Angel is calling in the cavalry! This idea may not be as hopeless as I thought! (I'm a very pessimistic person :P)
I am... an anime fan... *le gasp* It would make more sense if you knew that before I got into Fullmetal Alchemist (in my opinion the greatest anime ever created aside from Death Note). Back then, I hated anime with a passion. Once I got into FMA, however, I realized that it had been bad english dubbing that did it. So now... I ASPIRE TO BE AN ANIME VA, SO I CAN RID THE WORLD OF THESE TALENTLESS HACKS!
Oh, wait! New rule! If you are a character with a Death Note, you may only kill another character if you abide by these rules. 1. Your character must have somehow found out their name. 2. The person playing that character must come to some agreement with you (i.e. delaying the death, dramatic death etc...) The circumstances of this agreement may cause Rule 3 to become invalid (i.e. accidental death) 3. Must speak to the character immediately prior to the death in a similar manner to what Light did with Naomi, L and Near (at least, tried to with Near :p). You know, "I'm Kira, and you're dead now, mwuhahahahaha!" except more subtle. 4. Give other characters at least SOME chance to stop you. (i.e. interrupt you when you're about to write their name, switch your Death Note for a fake like Near did or soemthing along those lines). Apart from that, feel free to kill random people not played by anyone. (If they're unfilled canon characters i.e. those played by me, discuss with me as if I officially played them)
Holy crap you changed your avatar in a time gap that was just over an hour. And I must confess, I can't help but feel on edge. The minute I started this thread I had a foreboding sense that I was getting in over my head. I mean, Death Note is fricking cerebral, and I'm not exactly the shiniest penny in the wallet :|
Sure, have Matt.
@Random Angel: True, I did mean Alias. I figured it would be self-explanatory considering L, Near and Mello. You may as well be L considering I've only watched up to episode 17 in the anime *embarassed*. Oh, and I watched the dub of New World. Damn, Light was fricking insane. @Thelightisgone: THere's also the fact that everyone is so entrenched in Return of Kira that a newcomer would quail in fear at the sight of it o_O. Ok, my own OC is going up and a little change of rules; I'll control canon characters to the best of my ability until someone fills them. I REALLY hope this doesn't suck >_<
Hey, guess what! You've just recieved a scholarsip to a new university that opened in Japan! It's supposed to be a school for the gifted, but when you arrive you are greeted by none other than L himself! Once settled, you are quick to realise that every teacher is actually a Death Note character, including Light Yagami himself, though he has lost his memories of being Kira (in short, the likeable Light from when Ryuk takes the Death Note). However, not all is safe in L's academy. A nameless Shinigami has dropped a Death Note there. When this is picked up by a students, it becomes a race against time to discover these new Kiras before the world is once again in danger. Worst of all, Light could regain his memories. (Note: Sorry if this is too similar to Return of Kira. I just had this idea kicking around in my head, so I went for it) Every Death Note character is available to be played, though we need at least 2 students. I play my OC and any canon characters that are not yet filled. I'm not confident with canon personalities, so... yeah... I don't want this to suck. If you are a character with a Death Note, you may only kill another character if you abide by these rules. 1. Your character must have somehow found out their name. 2. The person playing that character must come to some agreement with you (i.e. delaying the death, dramatic death etc...) The circumstances of this agreement may cause Rule 3 to become invalid (i.e. accidental death) 3. Must speak to the character immediately prior to the death in a similar manner to what Light did with Naomi, L and Near (at least, tried to with Near ).

(i.e. interrupt you when you're about to write their name, switch your Death Note for a fake like Near did or soemthing along those lines). Apart from that, feel free to kill random people not played by anyone. (If they're unfilled canon characters i.e. those played by me, discuss with me as if I officially played them) Canon characters (so far): L: Random Angel Matt: Random Angel (as a student, though) Near: Random Angel Mello: Demitryx Ryuk: Advent_of_apocalypse Beyond Birthday: CarbuncleGem OCs: Plauyed by Paladin12345678 Name: Snake Real Name: Marcus Gender: Male Age: 15 Appearance: A gangly teenager that looks a lot older than he really is with brown hair and blue eyes. He usually wears a hoodie and jeans. Backstory: Grew up as a more or less average kid in the first part of his life. His mother died in childbirth while giving birth to his brother. Marcus was two at the time. His father got involved with the dark side of the world after that and one day Marcus discovered his father's name and picture on the news for a murder. Mere hours later, Marcus discovered that his father had been killed by Kira. He and his little brother were taken to different orphanages. Marcus eventually found foster parents and in time managed to win the scholarship to L's academy. Marcus promised that once he graduated, he'd use his new skills to track down his little brother. Personality quirks: Likes video games almost to the point of obsession, hence the codename Snake (taken from Solid Snake, star of the Metal Gear Solid series). When explaining theories he tends to use video games as explaination and spends most of his free time gaming. Played by: Random Angel Name: Jenesis Real Name: Amanda Michiyo Gender: Female Age: 17 Appearance: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e3...tehairgirl.jpg Backstory: Her father is Japanese but her mother is an American. Through out school she was picked on for being half American in an all Japanese school. Which made her into a rebel Personality Quirks: Smokes and is good with electronics and mechanic etc Played by Demitryx Name: Luna Real Name: Lana Lawliet Gender: Female Age: 15 Appearance: Just under 5 feet tall, long perfectly curled black hair. Always keeps her lower arms covered with either sleeves or some form of arm warmers. Her preference being her favourite black and white striped ones with ‘corset’ style lacing down the sides. The rest of her clothes tend to be feminine but also very gothic. Luna is also skinny to the point of being able to see nearly all her ribs. Back story: She grew up in a rather run down orphanage / children’s home in Kent, England where she was despised by the other children and often ignored completely by the adults. The name similarity between her and L is no coincidence, she is in fact a relative of him. Though it’s so distant that neither of them know nor would either care. She completed the English Education system by the time she was 13 and finished her first course at Oxford university the year before she came to Japan. She is fluent in Japanese and German as well as her first language of English thanks to her speed at picking up languages. Personality quirks: Luna spends most of her spare time with either a ‘classic’ book such as ‘Jayne Eyre’ or a shounen-ai Manga such as ‘Loveless’ Either way it’s very rare to see her minus a book of some sort. She also has a tendency to sit on the floor whenever possible. Normally in a very childlike manner. Being insanely accident prone and a rather large jinx is also another issue Luna faces. Played by CarbuncleGem Name: Diary Real Name: Destiny Hazard Gender: Girl Age: 17 Appearance: Long, straight dark brown hair and dark blue eyes, but her eyes change colors. 5'3", and always wears loose grey or blue jeans and some long sleeved shirt or sweatshirt. Backstory: She lived in America before getting the scholarship for this new school, although most of her teachers and peers were shocked to hear that she was accepted into the school. She had never gotten great grades, although her test scores were amazing. She was made fun of by some fellow students, though she ignored them, and really only spoke when answering a question from a teacher or when around her close friends. This was not because she was shy, but because she had nothing to say. Personality Quirks: Diary usually never sits normally, she sits with either one or both feet on the chair she is sitting on. Easily amused, she can use anything to ease boredom. She draws often, especially during class, but this doesn't mean she's not listening. She is also totally addicted to ice cream. xD Player: advent_of_apocalypse Name: Just Real Name: Jacob Prower Gender: Male Age: 17 Appearance: Moderate-length brown hair, 5'11", moderate build, typically wears at least one headphone. Back story: He never much liked socializing in his old school, but at L's Academy, he can more easily socialize because of the presence of others of his intelligence. He has a serious personality when he is working, and occasionally when he isn't. He is almost constantly listening to music mainly because it stimulates his mind. He is extremely interested in the supernatural, yet somewhat skeptical to believe in it. There, now to wait for more canon characters... :S
You can't kill me, Kira. Because I know that you are NOT the real Kira! Besides, I'm a shinigami, so you can't kill me. I'd poke ya with my Fork of Truth! >_<
Dunno. There could be some guys to play Near and Mello. Then you'd be spectacularly owned and Pika_power would almost kill you. Fun times! By the way, I updated Kh-vids.DeathNote.
