A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.
{[CANON] L Lawliet || Death Note || Unreserved}

CHARACTER
Name: L Lawliet
Canon: Death Note
Timeline: Right as he dies - he will awake in RC living.
Personality: I got this.
Loner. Except for the assistance of Watari, L works alone. It works much better for him this way, as he is not social by nature - but he can have long conversations with someone if needed. He usually only talks business, though. He is very covert, keeping his true identity, his voice, and his face hidden from view - the only way to contact him is through his assistant, Watari. The way he speaks shows that he is intelligent, but he can be a bit blunt and uncaring unless he needs to persuade or manipulate someone, which gives evidence to show he doesn't interact with people all that much.
Arrogant. L has an ego on him, apparent in the way he's collected a few of his aliases. Two of them, Deneuve and Elraldo Coil, were taken from the second and third most famous and brilliant detectives as 'trophies' for defeating them intellectually when solving cases. L is also very childish and hates to lose, as he stated when comparing himself to Kira. He will likely not admit that he makes mistakes until they've been made - however, he would recover gracefully by such a fall from using the information gained from the blunder to collect further information, if possible. He may also later claim that it was part of his plan to mess up - and with that blank face, you can never tell if he means it or not.
Wammy. The only person that L trusts is one Quillsh Wammy, founder of Wammy's House for the Intellectually Gifted of England. Wammy, or Watari as others know him, provided orphans L Lawliet, Nate River, and Mihael Keel with a home. He is L's caretaker and guide, and is the only one with any way to directly contact him. L rigged the information system with all of the Kira case files so that, if he or Watari were to die, all of the data would be erased permanently. Without Mr. Wammy, none of L's work would be possible, and while he doesn't often show it, it was this man whom L went to for comfort for a nightmare about his own death in the anime.
Liar. L does not always tell the truth, and may leave pieces of information out if he feels it is necessary, no matter who he's working with. In his mind, the only people that require full information in a case are himself and Watari - while others are important, they are only pawns. L may also claim that he belives something has a low possibility when he is almost certain of it, especially when, but not limited to, times when people he doesn't trust or overly put faith in are nearby. L is a brilliant manipulator; he will decieve to get the advantage. This is shown when he keeps information from the police and the public about the broadcast he has inmate Lind L. Tailor make, calling it 'worldwide', when in reality, Tailor was posing as L, and the broadcast was only made in the Kanto region of Japan.
Intellect. L relies on logic, deductive reasoning, probability, skepticism, and experience to solve his cases. He's a genius, and a born tactition. While L's methods are unorthodox, and likely produced by a train of thought only he can keep up with, he gets the job done. These methods may not exactly fit into everyone's moral code, either; L will do anything to get a job done, which circles back to his ego and arrogance, pride. He only takes cases that he is interested in. In part of the Kira Case, L was willing to sacrifice the lives of multiple death row inmates just to test and see if the "13 Day" rule of the notebook was false or not. Some of his ideas are radical and insane, but there is, after all, a fine line between genius and insanity.
Eccentric. All geniuses must be ecccentric, and L is no exception. He sits hunched over, rarely sleeps, eats nothing but sweets, and doesn't care about his appearance, since he isn't seen often anyway. He claims that he eats so many sweets, yet remains underweight because using his brain so much burns all of his calories, so he doesn't need exercise. He claims to sit and walk hunched over because, if he doesn't, his analytical abilities will drop 40%; I believe that this is just because he is used to it, and other positions might make him uncomfortable. He also holds things very carefully, with as minimum contact as he possibly can. This likely comes from years of handling evidence, and also not wanting to leave any trace of himself behind.
Tedious. When going over a case, L takes time to listen and observe, absorbing every detail possible to come to the most logical and provable conclusion. He is always listening for hidden meanings within context, implications, reasons to suspect. As a strategist, it is not uncommon for him to be seeming to waste time, when in reality he is just waiting for something he believes will happen. He can use this tactic to test a suspect's patience, and to provide himself with stalling time (and thus thinking time). He waited for weeks on end to try and get a confession out of imprisoned Misa Amane and Light Yagami.
{[CANON] L Lawliet || Death Note || Unreserved}
[A text comes over the Ruby City network, titled only with the solitary letter 'L' in the subject. It is no-nonsense, no time wasted, and not one bit curious about any of the other people in the city, or the city itself. He has a message that he would like to convey, and that is all; his words hold no confusion.]
Attention, Ruby City.
Call me L. I am a new addition to the area, nothing more. Thank you for your time.
[He pauses, and decides to add:]
But I do have some questions for our captors, if any of you would so oblige.
[/end feed]
Third Person:
Ruby City was the last place that L had expected to show up after death. He hadn't expected anything at all, in fact; afterlives just weren't all that plausible, in his books. But since he was here now, he figured that he should try to get ay information that he could from the people who had brought him here. What he had needed to know about the city itself, he had read on the posters. He knew that the food and housing were free. He knew that there was no internet; however there was a library, and a social-network-slash-announcing-system run on the watches. He knew about the danger of awful random events, and the animals in the woods, and the catacombs. He knew that he couldn't go back to his world until his kidnappers let sent him back. He'd read all of this on the helpful flyers.
He didn't know what would happen if his kidnappers decided to send him back. He had accepted that he was stuck here, but what if he was sent back? Would he be alive, or go to his afterlife or lack thereof? There was the eighty percent possibility still that all of this was a dream, but as the seconds ticked by, that was becoming less and less likely. He hadn't even had time to ponder the injustice that the people running the place may or may not be doing to the captives here. With any luck, he would get his answers. All he had to do was keep one step ahead in his thought process, and ask and make any of the seven answer the right question. It would need to take a little time, to get an understanding of each of the personalities show to him, and thus he could ascertain which questions to ask whom.
Dealing with now, however...as for interacting with the civilians of Ruby City, it was best to simply stay back in the shadows and observe for a while. He had needed to make his presence known - perhaps one or more of the captives would contact him, and he would be able to collect more tidbits of information for this investigation. He was going to keep texting only, and if seen in the open he would simply refer to himself by one of his many aliases - likely something not including the L sound, which left Hideki Ryuuga and Deneuve. Though, the former was Japanese, which L was not, and the latter was French as well as one word, which sounded out of the ordinary and also which L could not quite pretend to be. Picking too generic or famous an alias would also be too suspicious, not to mention predictable, so he would have to be completely random.
He would be known, face-to-face, as Nathan Rivers.
