I didn't know if by your 'thank you' post you unofficially 'closed' the birthday thread so I didn't reply xD; you can assume he gave B brass knuckles that he had found on his excursion and thought of B and his situation!

Okay enough mun-lurking, I love your B even though I haven't seen all of Death Note (I wasn't allowed to I have to wait for my friend Lol damnit promises!).

[jam_lover_13]

No, the thread isn't closed^^ You can still reply if you want to, I'd be gald about it^^
I just didn't want to wait with that post, so that it wouldn't seem unnatural. Plus I'm a person who is hardly EVER able to wait XD

Thank you <33

No matter how much of DN you see, you won't find my muse XD He's only appearing in the novel (plus the his killings are mentioned in the series and he MAY be shown in the OVA)

[blueeyekamikaze]

:D Well then! I'll be on my way LOL now that I know that is! I'm quite shy so perhaps I need to come out of my shell and ask more questions xD;

NOOOOoOOOOOOoooo
You mean all those wonderful things I've read about him in snippets wont be appearing in the show!? T__T *Wilts*

[jam_lover_13]

Yeah, you need to XD
So just as information: Tries to interact with Beyond will never ever go on my nerves! On Beyond's maybe, but when he is always rude XD

... Sadly... I'd love to see him in an anime. Okay, no I wouldn't. Because I've Beyond as my secound personality and if DIFFRENT canon facts would show up now, I'd die o.o XD

Just read the "Death Note- Another Note" and come to the B-side *laughs evil* (Which IS canon XD)
Okay, I'll stop here, by talking about Beyond I'll easily spoil the novel. Okay Adstring may have anyway, since L's here and B is too, but okayyy.. XD

Might want to be careful about infomodding, like here: http://neverquitedies.livejournal.com/3314.html?thread=238834#t238834

B really shouldn't have been able to figure out why Yuca went to Mayuri, unless I missed a thread.

[jam_lover_13]

... Sorry, about that.

I'm still struggling with playing a character that is far more intelligent than I am.

Fact is Beyond knows Yuca is immortal and he knows what it feels like to want to die. When Yuca says "Still alive" I though Beyond would be able to imagine what Yuca was after.
He does not know anything about Mayuri or what exactly Yuca did. So it's not a matter of the why, because he does not know that he was there.

... too complicated... Just sorry *takes a bow and goes hiding* I'll talk to Yuca-mun to delete that if it seems unlogical to you..

[bloodseal_soul]

It's fine, it's fine... it's just something to be aware of and to be careful of, especially if you go through logical channels that an intelligent character would need to think through, you have to be very specific with how they arrived at that conclusion.

It just seems illogical because I'm pretty sure Yuca has never explained that he even WANTS to die to Beyond, and in the post he didn't say anything about Mayuri. On the surface it basically looks like Yuca got himself hurt, and with the creatures running around it's logical to assume that one of them got him and he's calling for help.

Don't feel bad, just try to be aware in the future that you have to be very careful about figuring things out with smarter characters, there's only so far you can go on intuition.

[jam_lover_13]

The "want to die"-thing and why Beyond is guessing that has to do with personal things from Beyond: He hates life and he knows that a normal lifespan is too much for him. He has his reasons to guess that Yuca remembers former lifes because...

Aww... I don't want to get into that again XDD
I asked Yuca-mun about that and what Yuca-mun says will be done. Delete or no delete it's fine with me.
I just wanted to say that I do not play completly without thoughts. I could explain everything that guided Beyond to conclusions, but it may still be not logical and I just made a mistake.

Don't feel bad is more easy to say than to do. I'm very easy to frighten, when I think I've made a mistake...

[a_wenches_life]

Hi, I just caught your last post and I was wondering if you can clarify something for me. I've been looking through the wiki's on your character's personality, and even though there is very little information about BB, there is a general consensus that he's a killer on a mission. I can't seem to figure out how his crushes on other people fit into his murdering mentality. Can you show me any sources that state BB has crushes in his canon or that he becomes really attached to people? Thank you.

[jam_lover_13]

That he is able to be attached to people is an Adstring-based change in his character that happened during interaction, so I can hardly give any soure for that.
But it can't be proved otherwise anyway since nothing about B's private life is known. He is a character that is mostly interpretation. There are only about five pages in the book where you can be sure that he isn't only playing a role and in two of them he simply attacks someone, without speaking. And I can assure you that he'd leave anyone no matter how much love there was to reach his goal. The only feeling that is surely everylasting inside of him is the hate/obsession/envy/idolisation he feels for L.

Things we that with Tamaki are really canon. While his investigations together with Naomi Misora he mentions how much he loved the manga "Akazukin Chacha" and how adorable Shiine-chan was.
It is -again- up to reader's interpretation wether he really likes it or is just acting. Same for his jam-obsession. But almost all fans think that he really does and so do I

[saintedsinner]

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I have a lot of trouble grasping the realistic nature of this character, and have been thinking that this character was more of a self insert more than anything else. And technically, Beyond is a self insert because of how little supportive canon there is. :)

I would like to suggest something. If you're interested in giving BB a more realistic feel, perhaps reviewing Death Note as a whole would help? From what I've seen, Beyond's current personality doesn't seem to fit with the genre of the show. It'd be really exciting to see Beyond as a person would be and not an actor reading from a script. I know I don't have the right description, and I'm struggling to get my point across, but to me, Beyond doesn't seem as 'true to himself' or as 'human' as I think he could be. It's a tough thing to try to get a character to be realistic enough for others to believe that they are actually alive in this world, but I think it's an admirable challenge!

[jam_lover_13]

I have to confess, that I wasn't a serious roleplayer when I came here and I made LOTS of mistakes with Beyond at first. I'd really like to erease them, but since I can't, I really can't reset him, because it would tear me apart, I have to live with that on his in-game canon.
I am currently trying to keep the balance of what he should be like and what he has to be like to have no break in his in-game personality.

I have no idea what my BB looks like, for other persons, but for me, personally as the mun with the rose-colored views on him (xD"), he is very realistic. I have all of his thoughts in mind, almost always. It feels like multiple personality sometimes.+

And Beyond is supposed to look like an actor, reading from a script. That's in his personality. He himself isn't completly sure, who he is and what of the things he does is acting and what not. All he knows is that he is obsessed with L. L is his everything, the only thing he really cares for...

I know I sound very defensive at this point. Far more than I want to XD I just

[grabbyhandsthx]

:D Hiiro~!

[jam_lover_13]

Hiiro is one of the few friends left to B. He used to think of him as slightly annoying, when they first met. Intelligent, but so innocent, so stupid, that he helps a stranger. Beyond can't understand why Hiiro cares for him. But (even though he'd never admitt it) Beyond likes being taken care of.
Beyond is really thankful for Hiiro being there, since Hiiro saved him so often now. He is afraid of dying here in Adstring and loosing the eyes, so for the first time he really thinks he owes someone something. For the first time Beyond really wants to make it up to someone. He only has now idea how to do so
