Modern
In modern Japan, a supernatural force—the Death Note—changes the balance of life and death.
Author's Note: Welcome to the morally complex world of Death Note. This campaign invites players into a world where knowledge is lethal, secrets are currency, and every move has consequences.
Unlike traditional fantasy campaigns, this is not about slaying monsters or amassing loot. Instead, it's a battle of wits, deduction, and manipulation, set in a world where the supernatural lies just beneath the surface of modern Japan. Players may operate in the shadows as Death Note users, pursue justice as investigators, enforce the law, or simply try to survive as civilians in a world on edge.
The gameplay centers around tension, secrecy, and discovery. The Death Note itself is a unique and dangerous tool governed by strict rules—capable of reshaping the world if wielded cleverly. Meanwhile, law enforcement, criminal factions, and supernatural beings like the Shinigami complicate every choice players make.
Players are given full narrative freedom. The story is open-ended and reactive, allowing the world to shift based on alliances, betrayals, investigations, and moral dilemmas. Canon characters from the anime exist in the world with their original personalities, but the timeline and events are shaped entirely by the players' actions.
This is a game of cat and mouse, of gods and ghosts, of logic versus lies. Victory may come not through combat, but through deception, observation, and calculated risk. Welcome to the world of Death Note—where your next move could be your last.

appearance
A young boy with platinum blonde hair kept in a messy style, pale skin, and a small, fragile-looking frame. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt with a red tie and beige pants, often seen playing with toys or puzzles, reflecting his methodical and curious nature.
personality
Near is cold, analytical, and focused on his goal of capturing Kira. He’s often seen as being somewhat emotionally distant, and while he doesn’t show the same eccentricities as L, he shares L's unshakable commitment to justice. Near’s patience and ability to calculate the best course of action make him a dangerous opponent, and he is willing to take extreme measures to bring Kira to justice. Though often appearing childlike in demeanor, Near possesses a strong sense of justice and has the maturity to make difficult decisions when necessary.
backstory
Near was raised in Wammy's House, the same orphanage as L. He was considered one of the most talented children there and was groomed to be L's successor. After L's death, Near took over the investigation into the Kira case, leading a team of operatives to track down Light Yagami. Near is known for his sharp intellect and ability to piece together complex puzzles and patterns, which makes him a formidable adversary to Light. Unlike L, Near prefers a more hands-on, methodical approach to solving cases and doesn’t shy away from relying on others for support when needed.
