This is a private RP between Tranquility and karamonnom.

This is a RP based on Death Note but in which one person wields the notebook and another wields the pen. Both are required to kill someone. The RP takes place in modern day Tokyo, Japan with our two character in their third year of high school.

Rules for the Death Note and Pen

I. The Death Note and the Death Pen are both needed to cause a person's death. The Death Note cannot be used with any other writing utensils and the Death Pen cannot be used on any other surface.

II. The human whose name is written in the Death Note with the Death pen will die.

III. Both the holder of the Death Note and the holder of the Death Pen must have a face in mind when writing a person's name to ensure that people sharing the same name will not be affected.

IV. If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.

V. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.

VI. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

VII. The humans who become the owner of the Death Note and the Death Pen can, in exchange of half his/her remaining life, get the eyeballs of the god of death which will enable him/her to see a human's name and remaining life span when looking through them.

VIII. The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human.

IX. The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you must examine and find out.

X. One page taken from the Death Note, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note.

XI. The Death Note will not affect those under 780 days old.

XII. The Death Pen will not show up on any other paper other than the Death Note it is linked to.

XIII. The Death Pen is indestructible and will not break.

XIV. The Death Pen contains the blood of Shinigami and does not require refilling.

(Other rules will be added once we work them out. Also it is not necessary for our characters to know all of the rules yet).

Okay~

Our 0th post looks great so I edited this to not conflict with it's niceness. :)

We still need to decide on a Shinigami. I'm fond of Rem and Ryuk since we know them fairly well, should we one of those or both of them?

And considering they're classmates, are they close, rivals, or just acquaintances?

I think it would be interesting if we each had our own. So we could do both Ryuk and Rem.

I think we will work on their current relationship after we work on our characters.

If you want Ryuk I can snag Rem, though I assume they'd be working together if they both gave our characters the items.

And okay, I got mine posted, fairly basic but it'll do I think.

Posted my sheet by following yours as a template! Sounds good then. But they could split up and follow one of our characters jome

Yeah I'm thinking Rem and Ryuk could be close enough and have devised this manner of killing for more of an interesting outcome when observing humans. I could be Ryuk if you wanted me to, otherwise we could do our own Shinigami.

Alright.

So we can probably start soon. I assume our own Shinigami will drop the item and explain it needs the other item to work. And then both characters can see both Shiniagami.

THIS lists the rules though I'm not sure how close we want to work with them. I think some rules are needed but I don't think we need dozens of rules. But then again all the rules might be fun, I know reading them has been informative to me.

I'm guessing our characters find them at school, probably in the same area?

Oh man, that's a lot of rules. I think we can decide which one we will follow. For example, the one about using any kind of writing utensil rule would be cancelled out by the existence of our own Death Pen and etc. Maybe having a basic running list of them in the OP is a good idea just to keep track?

And yeah, let's just start at the school. I don't know if it will necessarily be in the same place. But it would at least be on the same campus.

I can make you co-GM and we can use a 0'th post in the OOC or IC to both add the rules we'd like to work with. :)

I have a post to finish but then I can start us off.

Sounds good! Can't wait. I'll work on the rules.

EDIT:

I like your opening. Can I repost it as a 0 post and add the rules from there?

My opening? You mean my first post in the OOC? The 0th post can be here or in the CS if it looks better.

I will probably get the intro for this up within the hour. :)

EDIT - Intro is up, I'll intro Rem in my next post. Listening to the OST helped create a moooood.

I posted. I'll have Ryuk introduced later too then. Ryuk enjoys watching from a distance for a while anyways. I think he might be amused that the Death Note holder can't even read the rules of how to use it.

Haha, looks like he needs a trusty translator who is good at English. I wonder who might that be. :)

I was thinking, there are a lot of rules from the Death Note show, but should there be some more Pen specific ones? Like can the ink be taken out? Or if another character can use the pen aside from the owner? Etc?

That is true, I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe if anyone other than the owner tries to write with it, it won't write?

Or the ink must be refilled after every x amount of uses?

Or the pen will not show up on any other paper other than the Death Note?

Or the pen is indestructible and will not break?

Question 1: Sure, but maybe the pen can be stolen? Like if it is out of the original owners possession for a few weeks?

Question 2: I say no to refills. It seems superfluous to me.

Question 3: I like that one

Question 4: I like this one too.

Those are my thoughts. You can add your two cents too haha

Sure, it could be stolen but rendered unuseable. I think the Note had to be out of the original owner's possession for like 7 days before it could go to someone else or when the Shinigami would take it back. But I don't think we need that rule. What do you think?

Everything else sounds good to me. I'll work on my post now.

We might need that rule later on in the story, but we'll add it then if necessary. Alright, everything else is good. Thanks for revising the 0
