The Eight-Legged Norse Horse
Image from anime
Name:
Nate River
AKA
“Near”
Fandom:
Death Note
Age
:
17
Gender:
Non-binary
(He/him; they/them)
Weapons:
A single pistol.
Notable items:
•A thick, dark coat with a furred or feathered hood, of a conspicuously different style than his pale, loose-fitting clothing.
•A small backpack. It currently contains—
•a set of sturdy finger puppet-type dolls bearing the likenesses of himself and a few other characters important to him,
•a few boxes of dominos,
•a teddy bear,
•a deck of tarot cards,
•His pistol (safety on, always).
Skills:
Near is prodigiously brilliant, with deductive reasoning skills that surpass those of most other people — with a few notable exceptions. He’s also extremely pragmatic and very skilled at removing himself emotionally from situations around him. Beyond this, though, Near’s practical skills are few, and he struggles to get through daily life on his own. He’s very good at stacking cards and complex domino lines, though.
Weaknesses:
Despite his absurd acuity, Near is extremely dependent on others to help him get through day-to-day life. His social and life skills are to say the least weak, and though he excels in analyzing and drawing conclusion from data presented and knows what data he wants to acquire, actually acquiring that information is beyond him. New and unusual situations are overwhelming, and he finds them very difficult to navigate, however mundane they may be.
Biography:
Nate River (“Near”) was raised at an English orphanage called Whammy’s House, where his skill for puzzles and deduction were honed under the watch of L, the world’s finest detective. After Light Yagami picked up the Death Note and started using it to launch a prolific string of serial killings, Near eventually became involved with the conflict to attempt to catch him and prove him responsible.
