Near (Nate)

Near, from Near, has several characteristic quirks and habits that reflect his extremely analytical and reserved personality:

*Playing with toys and objects while thinking. He often builds towers with dice, stacks pieces, handles dolls, or disassembles objects during investigations.

• Sitting in an unusual way, frequently crouching, hunched over, or with his knees close to his chest, even in chairs.
  Twirling and playing with one's own gray hair when concentrating or reflecting on a case. Speaking in a calm and monotonous manner, rarely showing intense emotions.
  Observe people attentively, analyzing behaviors and expressions before drawing conclusions. Maintain absolute focus on your goals, often ignoring distractions or matters you consider irrelevant.
  Use miniatures and models to represent real-life situations, recreating events and strategies with toys. Avoid physical contact and unnecessary socialization, preferring to work alone or in small groups.

These quirks were partly inherited from his time at Wammy's House and help to show the difference between him and L. While L had habits like constantly eating sweets and sitting in a peculiar way, Near demonstrates his genius through toys, miniature models, and an almost always childlike and introspective posture.

What is the Death Note?

Main rules

If no cause of death is specified, the person dies of a heart attack. It is necessary to know the victim's face to avoid confusion between people with the same name.
The cause of death can be controlled within certain limits. The user can make a deal with a Shinigami to obtain the "Shinigami Eyes," capable of revealing people's names and lifespans.
