DEATH NOTE

DEATH NOTE RULES AND NEED TO KNOW

Rules

○The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

○This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

○If the person using this Note fails to consecutively write names of people to be killed within 13 days of each other, then the user will die.

○If you make this Note unusable by tearing it up or burning it, all the humans who have touched the Note till then will die

○If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.

○If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.

○After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

What to know

○The notebook has 60 pages with 38 lines per page. If you write small, you can cram in as many names as you want.

○The Shinigami's voice and form will go completely unnoticed by others.

○In return for letting you keep the notebook, the Shinigami may take it back at any time.

○Those who do not wish to be followed by the Shinigami can get rid of him simply by giving the notebook back or throwing it away.

○It is up to the owner to decide how to use the notebook -- whether it be for world conquest, getting rid of that one guy, or choosing to not keep such a terrifying item.

○This Death Note can only be used by the one who found it. If the owner throws it away or loses it, the right of ownership is automatically transferred to whoever next picks it up.

○One must know the face of the person whose name is written down for there to be an effect. That way, people with the same names will not be affected all at once.

○If you write a cause of death after the name like this: (Name) died from (cause), then that will happen.

○You can write with any pen: the color doesn't matter. If you use a sticker with a name printed on it, there will be no effect. Please write directly onto the notebook. It would be a good idea to change your handwriting as much as possible.

○The title cannot be erased.

○If the cover is destroyed, the notebook cannot be used.

○Be careful not to let other people see it.

○You will not die if you write your name here, but it is not recommended.

○When you run out of room to write in the notebook, you may ask the original Shinigami owner for another. How many Death Notes would you need?

○The pilot chapter also includes the Death Eraser which can undo deaths. Ryuk explains:

○"If you erase a name in the notebook with this, that person will come back to life -- so long as he hasn't been cremated yet."
