The Game Breakdown
Welcome. For those of you who don´t know, my name is Kaibura.
This post is here to represent our blueprint of current game goals, as well as those already underway or completed. Basically, if something is working its way into the DNK design document you´re more than likely to see it here first. This post will also be open to comments, so feel free to give us your insight.
The Games Roles
The current role-call for the game will seek to include;
- Kira ( The serial killer with the notebook of a death god. Kira´s goal is an open ended one, to control the game for as long as possible without getting done in by the various factions. Kira himself has no special abilities outside the notebook, but they can be bartered for. The longer Kira can hold out, and the higher he climbs up the ladders of power, the more he will gain access to. )
- L ( The ultimate detective. L will operate seperate of the police but is free to forge any alliances he wishes. L will have access to special powers at the behest of Interpol such as arrests and assigning special agents, he will also have access to financial abilities such as building or improving bases or facilities. L´s job is to see Kira brought to justice and the ultimate weapon retrieved. )
- Police Chief ( The head of the national police force. This person will have access to all police facility perks and will be able to enslist cops, issue arrest warrants and generally throw their weight around. The police will also have a direct communicator with L as well as City Hall. The police want to see Kira stopped, and the Chief is there to lead the team... but how long until Kira becomes law? )
- Mafia Boss ( The head of a national crime ring. The Mafia Boss will be able to recruit thugs into his organisation, access the secret base locations and stashes, and is the only non-police group to have its own supply of weapons. The mafia are a surprisngly neutral group who can ally to anyone, though will often have profit and power in mind. And that notebook, if they catch wind of it. )
- Shinigami ( The death god who walks upon earth. The Shinigami begins the game with two notebooks, and one of the central ways of creating the Kira role is for a human to be the first to pick up a Death Note droped by a Shinigami. These deities have the power to walk through walls and go unseen by normal humans. They also have the ability to fly back into the Shinigami Realm and make use of its tricks. Shinigami can bargain with humans and grant the Shinigami Eyes. )
- STV ( The host of Sakura TV, the local station infamous for its influence over the airwaves. STV has had a huge lineup of hosts in the past, good and bad, but is always counted upon to be entertaining. This person will have the power to transmit to all players (and TV sets) any news and surprises they can create. The job doesn´t pay half badly, either. )
- Second Kira ( The second human to pick up a Death Note will be granted the status of ´Second Kira´ ((SK)), essentially marking them as the successor should Kira fall. In the case of Kira´s dissapearance the SK will adopt his role. Any other players possessing notebooks while the Kira and SK are active will not recieve a role, however should the SK spot be available the next holder in line will take that position. )
- Watari ( The role of Watari will be chosen by L. Watari holds many of the same verbs as L and acts as his support and go-between, being able to access bases and special terminals. In the case of L´s death Watari does not replace him, however Watari can be beneficial to other factions as a supporting role also. )
- Mayor
- Near
Current Locations Roster
A few interesting locations worth jotting into this page. This is by no means an exhaustive list but many buildings and facilities, such as ´unoccupied house #7´ are not worth listing here. Not at this time anyway.
- L HQ ( A tower constructed and designed specifically for the worlds best detective. L HQ , also known as L Tower, will be heavily secured against intrusion and contains a plethora of special equipment such as invesigation tools, security monitors, hidden transports and more.)
- City Hall ( The seat of power. The mayor occupies City Hall and its direct line to the people. This buildings higher functions are not yet known, but will be established over time. )
- 104 ( One of the larger stores in the Kanto region, 104 is a successful trendy clothing and accessory store. If you ever want to try something new or flashy this is probably the best place to go. )
- Shinigami Realm ( The world of decay inhabited by death gods. The Shinigami has the power to warp to this descolate place from anywhere and can commune with other death gods if any happen to be bored enough. The Shinigami world has a few interesting features such as the World-Eye, which allows a Shinigami to watch any human they please and ´walk into´the human world directly near them. )
- Yotsuba Corp ( A bustling business center filled with very rich people making very poor decisions. The Yotsuba building contains numerous NPCs and a few hidden secrets, as well as their own personal safes. Any who end up playing here should be careful, as negligent business can quickly make one a criminal. )
- Prison ( Where the bad people go. The prisons on the map are largely inhabited by NPC criminals convicted of various crimes and is a hotspot target for an up and coming Kira on-the-go. If your Kira chooses to punish criminals, that is. )
Items of Interest
A few in-progress special items that might be worth mentioning.

Special Notes
Any automated decisions made by the system will be referred to as ReaperBot. This is so people have someone they can complain at when things aren´t going their way but they don´t want to offend anyone.
