The World
You have been brought into a modern world from a world where you are the norm. What do you do now...? Can you survive in a society built on reputation and harsh structure? Or are you already used to a life like this?
Welcome to "the world"! We're a Deathnote-centered RPG taking place in Tokyo 2004! In a mostly normal city, suddenly some kind of strange floodgates have opened, and people from other dimensions are being dropped into random parts of Japan! It can happen anywhere and anytime! It was frightening at first, especially since these people are equipped with strange abilities that normal people don't have, but Japan has decided to be amiable and allow them to try and live and work as normal citizens (of course, it's probably mostly just a show for the other countries of the world, as some shady stuff is going on behind the scenes). There seems to be no way for them to get home, though a few people have disappeared and returned without their prior memories...
You may pick anyone from anime, manga, or video games. If you pick a person from a series with no supernatural elements (as in none, at all. If you aren't sure, ask), you can just glean them in as if their entire history took place in the game already.
Note: You do not need to know anything about Deathnote to play here. You also do not need to participate in anything Deathnote related. There are plenty of things outside of the Kira regime for your character to do. I promise u gaiz.
Though the Japanese government is doing their best to help out these "scientific anomalies," the Japanese citizens are a different story. There has come to be a differentiation between people who look like normal humans, or "Passers" and people with distinguishing, non-human characteristics (someone like Inuyasha, for example), effectively called "Freaks" or "Mutants" in impolite society. The passers clearly hold a better standing in society, while the freaks are often stared at and sometimes publicly ridiculed. Those who cannot protect themselves may come to harm, even. Those who CAN protect themselves are feared and often denied jobs and housing in decent neighborhoods. There are always kind people, but more often, people are politely cruel.
Meanwhile, Japan is dealing with a huge threat (or Savior, depending on how you look at it), Kira. Kira is a murderer who can kill you just by knowing your name and face. If you have done something seriously wrong, and your full name and face are revealed on television, chances are you will be his next victim. Many of the normal people wish for Kira to get rid of all the freaks, but Kira seems to hold nothing against anyone unless they commit a heinous crime and have no remorse.
