+1 Toy-fixated genius detective

[solvethepuzzle]

Okay, he's only one out of the three right now, but things happen, right?

So this is Misty, player of our resident Hitsugaya, bringing in . . . another smart, emotionally repressed young fellow with white hair. These types ping me on purpose, I swear. This is Near (AKA Nate River) from Death Note, reincarnated as a poor soul named Nathan Brooks.

In canon, he's a brilliant but co-dependent detective with a lot of odd behaviours and a quiet confidence about him. Here, however, he's a young man with a very bad history, serious anxiety issues, and is struggling to get by on his own. So he surely needs to suddenly get memories of chasing a supernatural serial killer, right? Right. His info post is here and his full app is here. (Content warning for non-graphically-described child abuse applies for his reincarnated history.)

I'm bringing him in from having been in the 4th Wall, so he's got four Echoes already; he's been getting them since November, but this shit is scary and dangerous and he's been avoiding it. Sorry, Nathan. Looks like you can't anymore. Super happy to get him in here and see how he develops.

For those that don't have me on there yet, my plurk is at cloudyskies, and is the best way to get ahold of me for plotting.
