[The Graceful Assassin]

I'm going to base this web family of a manga called "Death Note". Most or all of you probably have never heard of it, but that's ok I'll fill you all in generally.

First of all, a Death Note is the notebook that each Death God, known as a Shinigami, uses to kill a human when their time has come. If a death god is ever venturing on Earth and drops it, and a human picks up the death note, the human becomes in possession of the Death Note and the shinigami must follow them.

Anyone who joins has a Shinigami and a Death Note. But you can choose your side. If you want to use the Death Note for evil and to gain power, you're on the side of "Kira". If you are good and are trying to stop "Kira" with your Death Note, then you are on the side of "L".

There are many rules of the Death Note. Sorry, but try to read most of them before you join [I did not make this up it is from the manga]:

How to use it I
- The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
- This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
- If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
- After writing the cause of death, detail of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

How to use it II
- This note shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world.
- The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, i.e. a god of death.
- The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven or Hell.

How to use it III
- If the time of death is written within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name.
- The human who touches the DEATH NOTE can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note.

How it use it IV
- The person in possession of the DEATH NOTE is possessed by a god of death, its original owner, until they die.
- If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears in front of him/her within 39 days after he/she uses the note.
- Gods of death, the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, do not do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the deaths in the note.
- A god of death has no obligation to completely explain how to use the note or rules which will apply to the human who owns it.

How to use it V
- A god of death can extend his life by putting human names on the note, but humans cannot.
- A person can shorten his/her own life by using the note.
- The human who becomes the owner of the DEATH NOTE 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 lifetime when looking through them.
- +A god of death cannot be killed by anything. However, there are ways a god of death can die, which are not generally known to the gods of death.+

How to use it VI
- 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.
- The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you must examine and find out.

How to use it VII
- One page taken from the DEATH NOTE, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note.
- The instrument to with can be anything, (e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc) as long as it can write directly onto the note and remains as legible letters.
- Even the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, gods of death, do not know much about the note.

How to use it VIII
- You may also write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the individual. Be sure to insert the name in front of the written cause of death. You have about 19 days (according to the human calendar) in order to fill in a name.
- Even if you do not actually possess the DEATH NOTE, the effect will be the same if you can recognize the person and his/her name to place in the blank.

How to use it IX
- The DEATH NOTE will not affect those under 780 days old (2 years and 50 days).
- The DEATH NOTE will be rendered useless if the victim's name is misspelled four times.

How to use it X
- "Suicide" is a valid cause of death. Basically, all humans are thought to possess the possibility to commit suicide. It is, therefore, not something "unbelievable to think of".
- Whether the cause of the individuals's death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced.

How to use it XI
- Even after the individual's name, the time of death, and death condition on the DEATH NOTE were filled out, the time and condition of death can be altered as many times as you want, as long as it is changed within 6 minutes and 40 seconds from the time it was filled in. But, of course, this is only possible before the victim dies.
- Whenever you want to change anything written on the DEATH NOTE within 6 minutes and 40 seconds after you wrote, you must first rule out the characters you want to erase with two straight lines.
- As you see above, the time and condition of death can be changed, but once the victim's name has been written, the individual's death can never be avoided.


The following information is what I need if you join:

- Side [L or Kira]
- Real Name
- Fake Name [for protection against other Death Notes, as you need to know a person's face and name or just a face to kill them with the Death Note]
- Shinigami's name
- If you have the "eyes of the shinigami" [see How to use it V]

Here is my info:
Side: "L"
Real Name: ??? [everyone else must answer this unless they are the first to join the Kira side, which would make them THE Kira for their fake name]
Fake Name: "L"
Shinigami's Name: Ryu
Eyes of the Shinigami: Yes

If enough people join, I will create a sign to put in your sig depending on what side you're on and make an rpg.
