+1 to the Party

Heyo, I'm Lexil, and I'm not a detective but I sure do play one on the internet.

I am completely new to the game and very happy to be here. I've heard so many good things about all you lovely people, and I can't wait to jump in. I'm bringing you L Lawliet from Death Note, that animanga about a wannabe god and his pet shinigami and the weirdos who try to bring him down.

In L's canon, he is kind of a freak and the world's three greatest detectives. In Save the Earth's setting, his reincarnation is a burnt-out chess prodigy whose uncle committed him for three years and stole all his money. Since then he's been rejected from his dream career, attempted suicide, and gone to rehab for cocaine abuse. Now he's a neurotic shut-in and a terrible unpublished mystery writer who tries to live vicariously through his terrible one-dimensional characters (and his stolen police radio shhhh), but hopefully his life is about to get much better when he gradually remembers that, in another world, he was much cooler than any of his anemic detective protagonists.

Here is his
info post, and here are the
NPCs in his life.
His app is here if you have a lot of time and are a masochist. I am super happy and anxious to get started so don't hesitate to contact me on AIM [tinmaiden] or add me on plurk [Lexil] if you want to plot or work out built-in CR or ANYTHING your little hearts desire.

***ALSO! That police radio has been reporting some weird, weird stuff since April 1. He's been paying pretty close attention. Let me know if something happened to your character that he might have heard about!

Hello Alec! Your guy sounds awesome and I really look forward to meeting him ICly. If he works in law, it's more than likely that L will meet him and probably even have reason to work with him, which would be super-cool.

And thank you SO much for the incident. I will totally incorporate that into a future post. Whenabouts did it happen?

He is basically the files clerk for a small claims office - you know, the guy that makes sure all the papers are in order, makes sure that people get the right papers, and gets the coffee. His uncle runs the place, which is probably why he still has a job considering Shou's night life.

It happened May 27th about. Also, in his network posts, Shou pretty much has told everyone he is a yakuza wannabe in his past life.

Oh I see so he's a paper-pusher and coffee guy. XD They still might meet and it should still be fun. Especially if they have nightlife connections (L doesn't have much of one, but his connections sure as heck do.)

Thanks for the info!

[ursoreckless]

Which also means that he has ALL the gossip of the office and is the last guy anyone thinks has a brain to boot because... well, he does play up his silliness to an art form. For the nightlife, he is known to dress up in outlandish outfits - including one in which he looks like a girl - gets into fights when he hits that level of drinking - and shows a remarkable ability to dodge his way out of harm since May - and drives ridiculously fast in his suped up mclaren mp4-12c.

Hey, there is something to be said for looking a big foolish and getting people to underestimate you! L has practically made a career of it.

He definitely sounds like someone useful to know. FORTUNATELY with regards to their thread L is not easily offended. XD

And Shou doesn't hold grudges so long as it's not something serious. In canon he held a grudge for ten years over a death of a friend but didn't mind it at all when people shoved guns in his face. Same mentality with this guy tbh.
