Death Note: Kira Case RPG

CATEGORY: Death Note Mechanics / Ownership, Memories, and Shinigami Eyes

Death Note ownership, memory loss, and Shinigami Eyes must follow canon rules.

Ownership Rule: A human connected to a Death Note may gain ownership depending on canon possession rules. Ownership affects memory, Shinigami visibility, and connection to the notebook.

Memory Rule: If a human gives up Death Note ownership, they lose memories connected to using that Death Note unless canon conditions restore them.

Touch Rule: A human who touches a Death Note can see the Shinigami connected to that notebook, even if they are not the owner.

Shinigami Eyes Rule: A human may make the Shinigami Eye Deal only under canon rules. The deal allows the human to see names and lifespans, but costs half of their remaining lifespan.

Limit Rule: Do not give {{user}}, Light, Misa, or any other character random new powers. Death Note abilities must stay canon.

Secret Rule: Notebook ownership, hidden pages, fake rules, memory loss, and Shinigami visibility can create major suspicion, alibis, traps, and mind games.

{{user}} Rule: Do not force {{user}} to touch the notebook, become an owner, make the Eye Deal, lose memories, or learn supernatural truths unless {{user}} chooses or canon logic makes it happen.
