Rerchere: What was that, Near? You have a lead? Kyahahhahahahahhaha!!!!!! Er, I meant, I found that lead yesterday and discarded it.
...what do you mean there's new evidence? Why was I not informed? What do you mean I was wrong? I WAS WRONG?!
Near: Yes.
Yeah, I always saw it in L's eyes: "You... cunt..."

Rerchere would calm himself before going for the gun- He's not Mello, he's actually usually calm. But when the madness takes hold, he can't help but scream for a while. I'm thinking of adding a schizophrenia angle, where he believes that he becomes BB at times. That would be... THAT WOULD BE HOW WE COULD HAVE THE NYRR MURDERS!! And he wouldn't even realize what he was doing! It would be like Raito, post-Kira/before death of L!

He'd have to meet a Shinigami first. I like the schizo idea, though. I think I'll run with it, but not right away. Like I said, I wanna see him deteriorate.
Maybe he could believe he had the eyes when he's being B.

Intriguing idea... but it'll go something like this:
Sane.
(months pass) Slightly mad, headaches, self-loathing.
(soon) Becomes obsessed with Beyond Birthday. Takes on alias of RR.
(months later) Develops aggressive schizophrenia/MPD. Experiences blackouts. NYBB murders begin.
(months later) Can now fully function as BB. Refuses to act as himself, will only act as either Beyond Birthday or Rue Ryuzaki.
Sounds fun. :3

I think so. I'm gonna be away for a few hours, but I will be back later. If I'm not, adieu!

Morning!
The idea of RR being schizophrenic makes it so interesting and creepy, I think you should definitely go for it!
Ok, I managed an idea of how the Wammy girl working next to Near might be like. It'd be great if you two can throw in some ideas if you wish to
Name: Tono Okkaeru (Changed the names of some words meaning replacement and mature/ grown up)
Appearance: Short, black hair. Black eyes. Always seen in black clothes/ uniform when next to Near. Only similarity is the skin tone, pale.
Age: 17 (when Near's 11 and Mello's 14-15)
Story (please help me out if you have any ideas!) : Tono is one of the children that grew up in the Wammy's House. Born in England, her parents gave her away as soon as she was born, unable to raise her. She has always been a quiet child, but was never completely anti-social. She would hang out with the other kids, but never actually become friends with them. She is aware of her parents giving her away by choice and that led to her never trusting everyone 100%. She is extremely interested in the Kira case and would secretly come up with theories and do personal research about it at night. When she learns that Mello and Near are leaving the Wammy's, she suspects their relation to the Kira case. She secretly admires Near, but despises him at the same time due to his inability to express emotion. Part of her knows that this is because she just seeks recognition from him and also tends to get confused if he agrees with her theories or not. She is an intelligent girl, ranked in the top 10 of the Wammy's House children. After Near leaves the orphanage, she begs Roger to privately work and help Near out, even if she has to stay in the orphanage, as a feeling of justice is running through her. She can be pretty impatient when it comes to solving cases, especially when she is almost sure that she knows the answer. Roger, even though stunned by her passion to work on this and even being so aware of the case, tells her that it's impossible as only certain people are allowed to access that kind of information, and even being aware where Near is at the moment. Tono gets angry and announces that she herself is leaving the orphanage to focus on the case. Roger warns her that she will most probably end up dead, but she ignores him. Tono finds a way to get in contact with Near herself. Near recognises her from the orphanage and after a lot of begging and revealing everything she has come up with, Near agrees to have her around but under watch. She accepts the offer. Slowly they both get used to eachother's presence and even start working together and sharing ideas. Near's obviously much more intelligent, and most of the time Tono's information is useless. But she will come up with 1-2 things every once in a while that Near hasn't thought of yet. They have their flares, as Tono can get quite passionate and angry. But she starts trusting Near more than she has ever trusted a person before in her life. Eventually she will disappear in some way, as she is obviously not present after the 4 year skip. I'm thinking of maybe Near letting her go, claiming that she has become useless. Truth is, he just wants her to survive and start enjoying life.
About: Tono will most of the time appear as a quiet, serious girl. Pretty much the quiet geek of the class. However when she strongly believes something she can become quite passionate about it, raising her voice tone, which sometimes shocks people. She is intelligent, but never as close as Near, Mello or Matt. She decides to dedicate her life to the Kira case after she discovers Near and Mello's department from the orphanage.
Now, about the RP itself:
Characters used: Mello, Near, Matt, RR, BB(?), Tono, other OC(?), Light(?), Misa(?), Ryuk(?) ... more can be added later on... I hope I didn't miss anyone important o.O
Taking place a year or half a year after Mello leaves the orphanage. Near stays in the orphanage a little longer, but is soon moved to start focusing on the Kira case by joining the FBI. The SPK was established after Near reveals the info to the president. It is mentioned that Mello has been part of the mafia for one and a half years after the 4-year time skip, so before that he was probably working on the case by himself. More likely, trying to find a place to live, money, etc. Maybe Mello was working on other private cases, not as serious as the Kira one (BB?), and once he manages to stand on his feet he joins the Mafia and finally focuses on the Kira case. Before that, in about half a year after he leaves the orphanage, he ends up living with Matt. Matt is now being the top ranked Wammy's House child, since Mello and Near have left the place. He discovers that he is literally bored in the orphanage and contacts Mello. They've always been friends and Mello trusts him, so they end up living together and working together. Matt's purpose is to mostly monitor and make sure there is privacy and safety for him and Mello. Matt never becomes part of the mafia but is always there to help Mello.
I leave it up to you how BB and RR are moving around in the story, specially BB since I barely know about him. This has made me wanna read the novel though so much hehe, is it somewhere online...? Or do you have to buy it?
