Current Characters: Squall Leonhart, Hibari Kyoya, Albel Nox
Character: Mihael "Mello" Keehl
Fandom: Death Note
Character Notes:
History:
• An orphan, and former resident of the Wammy's House, located in Winchester, England. Wammy's, with the appearance of any other orphanage, exists with the sole intention of creating an "L"; a genius detective possessing superior knowledge. With the current "L" deceased, a new successor must be chosen.
• The young Mihael, possessing above average intelligence, is raised alongside many talented children. As is customary in the Wammy's House, he is assigned a letter (M), and to protect his new identity, is given the less conspicuous code-name, "Mello". Ranked according to his abilities, he is placed 2nd beside the reticent Near.
• With the death of L, and the choice between Near and Mello left undecided, the two are asked to work together. Insulted, Mello vehemently declines.
• Repulsed by the thought of cooperating with his rival, Mello leaves the Wammy's House. Determined to become to new "L", and free from interference, Mello pursues a life of criminal gain.
• Using illegal means, and a connection to the Mafia, Mello seeks both the Death Note⎯a dangerous book that kills with the use of names and faces, and the demise of Kira⎯a murderer, responsible for the death of L, and at present, possessor of 1 of 2 Death Notes.
Personality:
• A manipulative young man, Mello uses both his intelligence and his charm to outsmart and deceive his would-be captors. Above all else, a brilliant schemer with dreams of grandeur.
• Fearless. Dangerous, and unpredictable. Motivated by jealousy, and driven by desperation, Mello is often times careless. Depending solely on his emotions, he is quick to act on impulse.
• However selfish, Mello is not without conscience. He is neither ignorant of, nor blind to, the suffering caused by his destructive methods.
• Despite his impressive intelligence, Mello is intensely jealous, envying and even targeting those who view themselves as "superior". Underneath the dramatic bravado, he is deeply insecure. Ranked 2nd only to Near, he considers himself inferior. What Mello desires most is the status and prestige of "1st".
• Mello seeks only to achieve his own ends; to become the new "L". Unlike his rival Near, Mello displays little interest in the "just and fair".
• With a focus that neither wavers, nor wanes, Mello will doggedly pursue a goal. It does not matter if lives are at risk. ⎯For the title of "No. 1", most brilliant and best, and second to none, Mello will gladly risk his own.
Other:
• Mello, much like his mentor L, possesses an inexplicable lust for sugar. Mello surrounds himself with chocolate. He keeps a bar or two on-hand, eating compulsively, and habitually snapping off chunks.
• He is a Sagittarius, born on December 14th. At current, his age is 19.
• Assumed to be Catholic, Mello wears a beaded rosary, and collects religious artifacts.
• Although sociable, Mello maintains very few relationships. Outside of the Mafia, his closest contact is Mail "Matt" Jeevas. ⎯Another product of the Wammy's house, ranked 3rd beside Mello himself.

Mihael "Mello" Keehl | Re-submit Part Two
The only letter that matters is "L", right? Right now, it's just a competition. Something like a game. But, here, the rules are different. No matter what, you're always playing. In addition, you can only lose so many times. ...I never liked that kind of pressure. Me, I'd run straight into a wall. I'd start to think, "Jesus, maybe they're right. Maybe I'm making a bloody fool of myself. ...Maybe I'll never be good enough for this." It starts to get embarrassing. ⎯I hated it. Honest, Matt. It's not like I didn't try. I just... I got so goddamned frustrated. I'm starting to think it was all for nothing. Here, I'm just a nobody. A piece on a chessboard. No one remembers second best.
Anyway, none of that matters anymore. If I can't accept the rules, then I'll find a different game to play.
Believe me, I'll cheat if I have to. ...But, one way or another, I'm gonna win.
For me, this is war. I'm just choosing a different side, is all.
Beyond these walls is a whole new battlefield.
Everyone's gonna see me, Matt. Just me. ...You'll see. I won't be forgotten.
The next time we meet, I'll be more than just a rook.
Third Person:
It was pouring rain the night he left, cold and blustery, as were most Winchester nights. Of course, tonight would be much different. Tonight, he'd leave that prison behind. ⎯The Wammy's House, with its tall iron gates... Its noisy halls, and invasive stares. Its assignments and rankings, and...
Failures.
No. He hadn't failed. ...Not yet. He stopped to catch his breath, rain matting his hair and obscuring his vision. Mello narrowed his eyes, teeth clenched, and lips numb from the cold. No turning back now, and no reason to hurry. ⎯It wasn't as if they'd come to retrieve him.
Mello sneered, a bitter, resentful grimace of sorts.
It must have been some kind of joke. Did Roger really... Did Roger intend for them to work together? ⎯Near... Near used people like pawns on a board. Like a puzzle, he figured them out by matching the edges. Approaching, interacting with them as he would an equation. ⎯He'd always hated that about the boy. But, Mello... Mello was more than just a puzzle piece. More than the name that he'd been given. No, Mello would do things differently. This time, he'd do it his way, free from the bindings of law and restraint. He'd go underground. He'd find Kira first... Steal the Death Note, and reclaim his place.
Now, only a single slot remained.
Surely, the title of "L" belonged to him.

Re: PENDING: second sample
[The blond is clearly agitated. Impatient. He shifts his eyes dangerously, ripping a chunk from his bar of chocolate. ⎯An audible snap, and then silence. A repetitive noise chips into the background; much like the sound of a young woman crying. Immediately, he stands, clearly finding the low whine intrusive. He addresses the source with a mocking contempt.]
You're so annoying! I don't wanna hear another word, got it?
[He walks briskly out of view. Invisible, but still in earshot.]
I'm serious. Don't try anything stupid! If you run, I'm going to kill you, and then neither one of us will get what we want. You'll have nothing to worry about, just as long as your father cooperates. You see, I'm going to make a little trade; your life for the murder notebook. No more, no less. You'd better hope that he does what I tell him... If I hear sirens, you're as good as dead.
[He speaks quietly now, as if to himself.]
Is it so bad to be a hostage? Why do they make it such a trial?
