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 male human investigator with striking platinum blonde spiky hair, sharp intense eyes, and a serious expression. He wears a black leather jacket, a red scarf, and jeans, giving him a rebellious, gritty appearance. Mello frequently carries a gun as part of his strategy to take down Kira.
personality
Mello is brash, impulsive, and fiercely competitive. He resents Near’s more composed and methodical approach and strives to show that his chaotic methods are superior. Mello has a strong sense of pride and isn’t afraid to show his emotions, whether it’s anger, frustration, or determination. Despite his rough exterior, Mello has a sharp mind and is capable of impressive strategic thinking, even if his methods are less conventional than Near’s. He’s not above using underhanded tactics and forming alliances with criminals to achieve his goals.
backstory
Mello was also raised at Wammy's House, alongside Near, and was one of the potential successors to L. However, Mello’s volatile personality and rebellious nature led to him being excluded from the official position as L's heir. Despite this, Mello remains determined to surpass Near and prove himself the true heir to L’s legacy. Mello's approach to solving the Kira case is aggressive and direct. He is willing to go to extreme lengths to get results, including resorting to violence and criminal alliances. Mello’s obsession with outsmarting Near and capturing Kira drives much of his actions.
