Creation and Mu:
Hello, I am the Shinigami King's Right Hand Man. My name is not truly known among the Shinigami nor Humanity, for my own protection. However, I carry many titles for both races, Humanity knows me simply as God or the Creator and Shinigami-kind as The Great Scientist and for good reason, I am the one who invented Humanity. It should be known that Humanity was created simply for the good of the Shinigami, that much must not be forgotten, we care not the affairs of the humans and divine judgement, contrary to the belief of humanities, is non-existent. Humanity was invented so the Shinigami's could kill; A human needs a name to be legible for elimination but despite rigorous tests, I was unable to construct a creature that could herald a name created by the Shinigami's. It was discovered that naming was a species-inclusive ability and a sense of identity was needed to keep a name, hence why it was required for Humans to have Free Will.
There are several consequences that come from the Free Will of both the Almighty Shinigami and Humanity, who in comparison differ only slightly. When a Rogue Shinigami, bored of his mundane life in the Shinigami Realm decides to entertain himself by allowing himself to "lose" his notebook [Death Note] in the Human Realm, there may be an event where a Human who finds the notebook decides to use it for his own ambitions. This is in no means bad for the Shinigami's, as the number of humans is so high that it would be impossible for a single human could not kill them all by himself. But it holds dire implications on the land of the dead, Mu.
Mu, is simply a state of nothingness. It is hard to imagine, but a person loses all his consciousness. They are truly dead, no doubt about it. But yet their souls, which are also crafted with free-will, slowly evaporate into nothingness themselves. Sometimes taking thousands of years to finally vanish. Usually, they cannot be touched, so pose no problem to the Shinigami's nor Humanity. However, on occasions where the Death Note is used on a large scale, the bridge between the two Realms becomes temporary instability. While it was not previously known, theory stated that through this time period, known as the Soul Rush, the Bridge could be opened and remaining souls would be freed to live their lives again, with a new time-zone. To do this would require knowledge far beyond my understanding and so it was assumed that it would not occur.
However, following the recent events on Swyftlandre, NSEarth where a Death Note fell into the hands of a Racist, whom attempted to wipe out those who were not pure-Swyftlandians and even managed the impossible, to kill a Shinigami. With over 3000 confirmed dead in Swyftlandre, the Soul Rush was happened just above the nation, which is why the Zombie's (as called in the human tongue) appeared in Swyftlandre. The big question is How, upon the freeing of the souls, many of the Shinigami Population had died (Probably due to the fact that their lifespans had been increased whilst the Shinigami's had written their names in the notebook.) but only those that had killed in Swyftlandre to increase their lifespan. There is one simple answer to this, a Shinigami has secretly been working to open the Soul Rush and release the Soul's of those long dead. Maybe to kill the Shinigami's or just to entertain himself with the affairs of the Human World. Either way, the Shinigami King has assured all that if the culprit is caught then he will be executed, although there is no-one searching for this culprit, as can be expected from the Shinigami.
Regardless, I will be keeping a close eye on what goes on with the Human World in the following days. A great deal of knowledge can be drawn from this, I'm sure.
-He who has no Name
The following RP's will detail the lives of two of the players each time. One based on my own decisions and the other based on the words provided. I hope you enjoy the stories I have to come.
