Death Note: Wammy's House Character Sheets
Wammy's House is an orphanage in Winchester England. This orphanage was founded by Quillish Wammy, also known as Watari, a brilliant inventor. Wammy's House is a facility that trains exceptionally gifted children. However it also has another purpose, to train those children to be successors for the great detective L. Those that are especially brilliant may be given a letter after they leave Wammy's house. This honor is bestowed by Watari and there are only 26 with letters at a time. Competition runs high at the house and some of the residents even feel tremendous pressure because of this. Rivalries crop up easily due to this pressure and some even crack.
The year is 2001 in October before the Los Angeles BB murder case. Not long ago A committed suicide and it has taken it's toll on all the residents. However, life goes on in Wammy's house like it always does. The children compete among themselves as they try to
be noticed, try to be the best.
Even though I will be the one starting the RP and it will be under my name, Pyre is also the co-owner and co-moderator of this RP. She has the same amount of rights as me so she also has the right to deny or question your application as she sees fit. This hopefully will not be a plotless RP - I hate those
xD - and although we have a few minor plot ideas already any thoughts/plot ideas you have would be great to hear as well!
Main Characters: If you wish to be one of the main characters please put up an application below for them. If the character has not been taken yet, they will be played as an NPC until someone takes the character. The main characters are below and if taken will have the RPers name next to them. Watari and Roger will be NPC characters: any RPer could be them if needed, such as if you made their character go visit him in his office, you would RP as him briefly then, rather than waiting for someone else to be him, and then later someone else would be him.
Linda: open
Mello: open
Beyond Birthday: open
Rules:
1. Literate roleplayers only. This means that you need to write at least a paragraph, preferably two, about five to eight sentences per post minimum, with reasonable grammar and spelling.
2. To try and keep it simple for everyone the maximum amount of characters allowed will be three. If you really, really want to have four characters for a reason or another, and have told me or Pyre why and proven yourself capable of handling that many characters, then you may be allowed a fourth.
3. No one liners allowed. OOC posts are allowed if you put them either before or after an IC post. No posts that are just OOC posts please as it blocks up the RP: If you need to check something with someone else - such as an interaction involving their character or just checking a rule with me or Pyre, please send them/us an inbox instead or a wall message.
4. Characters must show evidence of considerable thought put into them. It’s true that sign ups are a starting point, but we would like to see that characters will have some depth and personality to them. Previous characters from other rps are allowed if you would like.
5. No godmodding, no harming another character seriously without permission of rper, any major plot points that seriously affect other characters should first be discussed/approved by them.
6. Violence and swearing are fine, sex should be a fade to black, we're fine with innuendo. Also fine with homosexual characters.
7. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. This is a character who is perfect or always centre of attention, no flaws and almost always better than everyone else: another example of this would a character who is a better detective than L/Near. This also includes the rule that no characters are allowed Death Notes or Shinigami eyes.
Any characters you have who are in line to become L's successor - though we preferably don't want too many of these as L probably wouldn't have any more than 5 or 6 successors at a time - need to have their own letter. N, L and M are obviously already taken as these are Near's, Lawliet's and Mello's letters.
Keep in mind that Wammy's House is HUGE. Massive even. Each character would have their own bedroom to decorate as they wish, there would be many classrooms, a dining room, garden, sports court, the woods nearby, a kitchen and even more. If you would like to say your character has a favourite pond they go to or even some sort of special area they've set up; that's fine.
Your character needs some special skill! After all, it's the Wammy House. The school is for geniuses, so your OC will need a special talent.

My Characters:
Name: Wilhelmina "Anya" Antoinette Alfons
Alias(if they have one): Anya
Age(4-25): 9
Sex: Female
Special Talent: Anya's gift is a bit, unusual. Unlike many at Wammy's, hers is more supernatural than anything else, she could be called an Empath, or even a Pathokinesis. An Empath is someone who feels the emotions of another. They have a strong desire to help others, but this is only good if they can control their power if the situation gets out of hand. The difference between an Empath and Pathokinesis could be that Pathokinesis is the ability to reflect/project emotions and/or memories back onto a person or onto another being. It is a highly evolved form of Empathy, and has proven to be an extremely strong power. Anya therefore can both feel other peoples' emotions and can reflect or project emotions and/or memories back onto that person. She can use this power to calm down others by protecting good emotions, or use it in the opposite way to project bad emotions. She cannot however sense why someone has the emotion they are feeling or how they plan to get rid of it. An example is that she could tell that Mello is angry, but would not be able to know it was because he had an argument with Near unless she pieced it together on her own.
Appearance:
Personality: Anya is what you'd expect of a typical little girl. Very sweet, kind and caring. Though most of this has to do with the fact that she's an empath, since she can sense other people's emotions she's very aware of people's feelings and tries her best to cause only good ones - making her the nice person she is. She also has boundless amounts of energy and despite her sweetness does sometimes get roped into helping Allie play pranks on the other residents' of Wammy's. She can be quite serious for her age at times though, as she can sense others' emotions and knows sometimes they just need to be left alone. She is overall a sweet little girl who will try her best to make her 'family' as happy as they can be, even if it means she has to miss out sometimes.
Any other hobbies/random skills: Cooking, although she isn't very good at it just yet. She's very good at climbing, and has a small habit of dropping from trees right infront of people and accidentally scaring them. She is a rather good detective in her own right, being observant enough to piece things together, though she is not even close to being half of what L or Sage were at her age.
Length of time at Wammy's: 3 years
Relationships with other characters?: Anya has a very good relationship with Allie. The two are almost inseparably close, and Anya views Allie as her big sister at Wammy's. She cares for her very deeply and will do almost anything to make her happy. Anya is pretty close to L as well, and this is mostly because of her power. Unlike the other kids at Wammy's, Anya can see when L is feeling upset, angry, hurt or even just happy, so she can understand him better than most others - making them get along well as she knows just how to deal with him. Anya isn't very close to Alexius, but this is mainly because whenever she is around him all she ever really gets is emotions of extreme sadness or even irritation, and she doesn't know how to fix it, so she doesn't like spending much time around the older boy. With both Maci and Tula she has a good relationship, but not as close as Allie or L. She gets along with both of them - playing with Maci and chatting with Tula - and she doesn't really prefer one over the other; liking them both for different reasons.
Background: Anya was born into a family of three, her birth making it a quaint little family of four. She had her Mother, who was kind, if not a bit distant, her Father, who had to be away for work a lot, but always showered her with affections when he got home, and her older sister Francessa Andrea. Their family was quite rich, and very traditional in their ways. They seemed the perfect family, but no-one knew that Anya's Dad was a secret Serial Killer. However, he was always kind to her, her sister and Mother, he never showed any meanness to them. So to them he was perfect, sweet and Anya loved him with all her heart. Then, one day when Anya was five, someone decided they should take the law into their own hands and killed her Father for his crimes, rather than having him arrested. It was only then that the family found out about the Father's 'hobby' of being a Serial Killer. This gave Anya her strong sense of justice.
A year later and Anya's mother had spiralled downwards, she was on medicine for depression, drinking all the time to drown out the sorrows of her husband having been killed and discovering he was a serial killer. Anya couldn't bear to look at her Mother anymore, because she could see and feel her empty emotions, her absolute loss of hope and love, and it overwhelmed the child. Anya's big sister Francessa - older than her by seven years - did her best to keep Anya happy though, always taking her out and playing Princess with her. Anya could see that Fran was suffering badly from their Father's death as well though, and she didn't realise quite how bad it was until she noticed Fran had been gone 'on a walk' for at least five hours now. Her Mother was too drunk to understand anything her six year old daughter was telling her, so Anya put on her raincoat, and wellington boots - as it was raining by this point - and headed out to find Francessa.
She didn't know how long it took to find her, but she finally managed to spot her sitting out alone in the rain in nothing more than her summer dress and shoes. Her sister was pale with the cold, shivering, and when Anya tried to get her attention by telling her she'd catch a cold out in this weather, Francessa didn't respond. Anya managed to help her sister back to their home and put her to bed immediately. Francessa died several days later from pneumonia. Their Mother snapped out of her depression state then at her oldest daughter's death, organized the funeral and seemed to be heading back on track despite the traumatic event. Though Anya could see otherwise. She could tell through her power that her Mother had lost all hope for everything, and her suspicions were confirmed when her Mother committed suicide a few days later.
Anya was soon found by Wammy himself, and when he asked for her name she told him it was Antoinette. She realised she no longer wanted the first name that connected her to her deceased family.
Anything extra you wish to say about them: No-one knows Anya's first name. They all believe her first name is Antoinette. She is also addicted to hot chocolate and has it even in the summer.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Alexius Kane Lozier
Alias(if they have one): He just calls himself Alex. He hates being called Alexius.
Age(4-25): 16
Sex: Male
Special Talent: Alex sees dead people. Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, he hears that joke all the time. Alex's 'special talent' is a simplistic version of being psychic basically, he can see and interact with the dead, and that's about it. He doesn't choose who he sees or speaks to, though once he has managed to bring a spirit to him and interact with it by using an item of theirs. The item that would work the best in order to contact a spirit would actually be the murder weapon - though Alex doesn't know this - but a personal belonging of theirs works fine too. He has only done this once as it is difficult to do and needs more practice. Many people think the reason Alex can see and talk to the dead is because he was legally dead himself for three minutes. (See past)
Appearance:
Personality: Alex is a loner, plain and simple. He always keeps to himself and doesn't interact with the kids or even the staff at Wammy's house unless it's absolutely necessary of if he is being spoken to first - even then sometimes he'll ignore you if he feels like it. He's pretty gloomy overall, but extremely snarky and witty if he wants to be. But that's only usually if he's being teased - he'll retort back with something clever enough to make the 'teasers' go away. He's the 'cool, yet dangerous silent guy who rarely talks to anybody' Except the ghosts of course, as his favourite saying goes: "The dead are way more sociable than the living"
Any other hobbies/random skills(example:cooking): Alex is very good at kick-boxing and capoeira style fighting. It's recommended not to start a fight with him.
Length of time at Wammy's: 11 years
Relationships with other characters?: Well, he's distant with pretty much everyone, so it's unlikely he'll have any friends yet, he may have a few enemies or people who he dislikes/people who dislike him, but that's about it.
Background: Alex was born to a happy couple living together in England, they had been trying for a baby for a while, and were absolutely thrilled when they had their healthy baby boy Alexius Kane Lozier. The happy trio lived together for a whole five years before the incident happened. It was Alex's fifth birthday. They had just celebrated with a meal out and were driving home. Alex's dad was driving, and he had had a drink, but not enough to put him over the limit. Unfortunately, another idiot driver did. The drunk driver crashed head on into the car with Alex, his dad and his mum in it. Alex's mum was instantly killed from the impact. Although fatally injured, Alex's dad still managed to call the emergency 911 number and give them their location before passing out on the phone from blood loss. When the ambulance arrived, they found Alex's dad had passed away from his severe wounds and that the child in the back seat - despite being also seriously injured - was still breathing. They rushed him to hospital and took him straight into the emergency room where they proceeded to try and save his life. Alex was officially dead for three minutes. He surprised the doctors by having his heart beat again three minutes after being declared dead and they made sure he was stable before taking him to a secluded cubicle to recover.
Of course, the issue that the child was now an orphan was brought up immediately. It was decided that he would be taken into social care as soon as he was fully recovered. So for the next week Alex was cared for at the hospital, but one of the nurses became increasingly concerned when she found the child talking to the thin air as it was a person. It was suggested that maybe he was talking to his imaginary friends - as he was still so young and had just suffered a life tragedy. But when one of the nurses came running out of Alex's room in tears and told the doctor that Alex had just spoken to her about her recently deceased father they knew something was wrong with the child. After a few more similar incidents of Alex apparently seeing the apparitions of people's dearly departed the news quickly spread - the combination of the child being dead for three straight minutes plussed with his apparent ghost seeing abilities was enough to cause Wammy to visit the child in hospital and once he was discharged it had been agreed he would go to Wammy's House.
Anything extra you wish to say about them: He doesn't sleep very much - usually because of the ghosts - and can often be heard of sneaking downstairs at midnight to get cheesy puff crisps.
