IC Information
Character: Beyond „B“ Birthday
Canon: Death Note (Another Note)
Point in canon: Before his attempted suicide
Age: 22 (But that’s unknown in his canon)
Personality: Beyond always wished that his eyes would also allow him to see the end of the world, which guides us to the conclusion that he hates life.
Besides L and his obsessive hate only a few things really matter in his life. One of them is jam, his alltime favourite meal. He eats jam out of the jar, without bread or anything.
The secound thing is a manga.
Beyond is fan of a manga called „Akazukin Chacha“, which is a very cute manga about a little girl who is learning to be a magician.
Beyond always works on an insane laughter, to match his evil nature when he’s alone. He even starts trying out diffrent ones directly after waking up. But in truth Beyond isn't able to laugh without thinking about it, unless he thinks about beating L.
He is a brilliant actor and he was playing the Ryuzaki-role perfectly, but when he is alone he is talking to himself nonestop.
It isn't anything special for him to kill, since he thinks his victims would've died anyway, according to their lifespan. He doesn't think that he's stealing someone's future.
Crime is usual for him, during the series he attacked Naomi Misora on the street (with a mask on of course) and stole a sedan. Without leaving fingerprints.
Beyond would never be submisse to anyone, not even to a traffic lights and speaks of himself as an „aggressive top“.
His hate for L is really obsessive and goes along with idolisation. L is perfection in his eyes and nothing could ever be better than L, exept for himself of course.
By becoming a phantom he maybe wants to consume L's thoughts just as L consumes his own thoughts. He himself is only the copy and only exists as a copy in his mind.
While he thinks his killings are the perfect plans, he thinks of himself as world's greatest criminal, who is even better than L. But usually he has much doubts in himself, every time he compares himself to L.
I’d like to add a little headcanon here. Little is known about Beyond Birthday, so this will be used while RPIng along with the things that are canon:
B usually appears to be a little annoyed by the world around him. If there’s no need for it, he is not very polite. He says what he thinks, not caring if he hurts anyone’s feelings. But he will stay quiet about everything that makes him look more suspicious than he wants to.
What you see of him, never seems to be real. B is an actor, even when not playing a role, he still hides. So also he likes to try out diffrent roles, just for matching the people he talks to and his own amusement. So if he’s talking to a proffessor for example he’ll talk „intelligent“ and even exaggerate with it.
All in all, the personality he shows the world depends on his mood greatly.
The way he really is like though, is something he will never show to anyone willingly. It only comes out, when he is alone with himself. As he will start talking to himself quickly, he also starts living his real moods.
If his mood is good he practices his evil laugh a lot. If someone was able to see him (what should not be the case) they wouldn’t think he was able to think of crimes as brilliant as the LABB murder cases.
If his mood is bad he acts similar. Just that he does not laugh much and instead screams and shouts. If he is really angry he might throw things around, breaking a lot of his funiture. Maybe he even hurts himself, since he is not really aware of what he doing.
If some person where to come in, he’d quickly change to acting again, inventing lies to explain the mess in his appartement.
History: Beyond Birthday was born with Shinigami-eyes, which means that he is able to see name and lifespan of every human he meets.
He knew when his parents would die. His father was killed by criminals and his mother died in a train accident, so Beyond became an orphan. He was taken to a special orphanage called Wammy's House, where intelligent children were trained to be succsessors of world's best detective L.
Beyond was now called „B“, which was short for „Backup“. The children in the orphanage all have aliases, real names are kept secret.
He started to think of himself as L's copy and came to the conclusion, that as long as L existed he, B, could never be L. As long as there's an original the copy will only ever be a copy.
He ran away from the orphanage and traveled all over the world, while searching for a way to defeat L.
So he invented the plan for his serial killings in Los Angeles.
He first sent a crossword to the LAPD, that none there could solve.
The solution would've been the address of his first victim, Believe Bridesmaid.
He killed this man with strangulation from behind (after he had drugged him), then he left complicated hints at the crime scene, guiding to the next victim.
He also left four straw vodoo dolls (called „Wara Ningyo“) on the walls. And he killed his victim (and all the others) in a room that was locked from the inside (he did use a trick of course).
The secound victim was a girl called Quarter Queen. He drugged her and then beat her on the head, so that she died. He left three Wara Ningyo and again complicated hints, guiding to the next crime scene, where he'd kill someone a few days later.
This victim was Blackberry Brown, a young woman. After he drugged her, he attempted an experiment. He wanted to know, if a human could die just by loss of blood in the left arm. He beat it thoroughly, so that it was already turning purplish red, but when he did not get the wanted result, it became boring to him. He stabbed her. Then he cut her left arm and her right leg off. It was part of the hints guiding to the final crime scene. This time he only left two Wara Ningyo.
After this murder L chose to send someone to investigate the cases, a woman called Naomi Misora.
B now used make up and hair styling to look like L and met her at the first crime scene. He introduced himself as Ryuzaki Rue, an „unprivate“ detective, like he calls it. (He says the word private sounds neurotic egoistic, so it doesn't fit him.)
L tells Naomi to work together with him, so he has the chance to guide her into solving all the message-puzzles he left at the crime scenes. During this time he copies L, or at least what he heard L acts like.
When they figure out the hints to the place of the fourth murder, which has to happen yet, Naomi comes to know what B planned from the start. There are two possible rooms for the murder to happen.
Beyond convinces Naomi that it is best if each of them is in a diffrent room, while they send the owner away, so that they'd be able to catch the killer.
When he is alone in the room, he should investigate, he plans to shower himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. Naturally after locking the room and placing one Wara Ningyo at the wall.
That was it. He, Beyond Birthday, the final victim. The ultimate plan. He'd die and leave L searching for a phantom, always in fear that it could attack him. He'd have created the case L could never ever solve. He would've proven that the copy could surpass the original.
Abilities: As mentioned B has shinigami eyes. He will see the real name and remaining lifespan of ever human he meets. Non-humans are not affected by those eyes.
Also he is a brilliant killer, able to handle quite a lot of weapons more or less. He speaks many languages and is overly intelliget.
Items brought along: White shirt, baggy jeans, shoes, matches, black make-up.
Stigma: His extreme obsession with L Lawliet. The detective L as well as the person L. The way he feels like he’s worth less than the detective, as well as his weird idolisation for him. B feels like he himself is not really a person, merely a shadow of L.
Samples
Regular Post: Voice
[Beyond really is upset, but his voice still sounds calm]
Is anyone having access to this network? I found myself in an uncertain location.
Does anybody have informations about this place?
If this is some kind of trick played by anyone, I’d like to let you know that it is not funny.
Besides, to make it look better, you should have made some fluffy creature appear in front of me, telling me about whatever magic-world this is supposed to be.
Besides, if we’re already on it, where can I wash myself?
Log Post: He was leaving his current hiding place. Finally. Beyond closed his eyes for a moment. He wasn’t afraid. No, he really wasn’t. But the thought of not being alive the next morning... It was overwhelming. Finally.
He had hated almost every moment in the 22 years of his live. Exept for the times watching Akazukin Chacha. And for the moment he first got to know that L existed.
As much as he cursed the detective... It had given him a purpose. To know that L was there. The one persons whose face he didn’t know. Whose lifespan he didn’t see.
L.
And now he was going to win. He would set himself on fire and end his life just as it had been ever since he came to Wammy’s House. Burning.
„So this is the end. Oh, L, you’ll never know how happy I am about this. Have fun, while being haunted by me. I’ll never leave you, you know?“, he whispered with an insane grin.
The thought. It felt good. So good. Beyond took a deep breath.
Air. He wouldn’t miss the feeling of breathing, but he decided to enjoy it a last time.
Beyond felt the wind in his hair and looked at the world around him. It didn’t hurt to leave it. It had never given him pleasure.
His heart was beating fast.
Oh, just a little talk with Naomi Misora and then he would be alone. Alone with gasoline and matches.
What would it feel like to die?
Beyond couldn’t wait.

PERMISSIONS
What's ok/not ok to talk about around him/her? : I don't think that there is anything I wouldn't want B to talk about. Depending on the subject he will give long or short answers. Yeah. Talking about Manga will probably make him happy.
Shapeshifting/Bodyswitching: Why not? But talk with me first.
Mind control: Talk with me first. Please do. Beyond will react very, very strongly to this. It would likely form his In-game future forever.
Mind reading: Uhm... Only along with plotting. So ask.
Deceit (Lies, manipulation, illusions, etc): Story of B's life. Go ahead.
Minor insults (spiting at, stepping on, throwing non-lethal objects at, etc): Sure. But B will ger his revenge for that.
Non-violent physical contact (hugging, kissing, etc): Go ahead. But B will most likely either shove you away or just use you for something sexual. Romance and similar stuff can only develope with much CR.
Sexual situations: Sure. Though I'm not fine with all kinds of them, so lets talk it over first?
Fighting: Yes.
Serious injury:First talk it over with me. But I'm fine with it usually. Also B is a masochist for cut-wounds if you're intrested xD
Death (intentional or accidental): With a plot? Sure. Talk to me about it.
