PART 1

LIFE DRAIN Shinigami can actively and passively drain the life out of things to feed themselves. Different things have different amounts of life energy. Having a Shinigami attached to you drains you passively. The life energy of people being killed by a Death Note will automatically “feed” the Shinigami and therefore weakens the life drain effect of the user. So it’s in your own interest to use the Death Note regularly if you don’t want to return it to the Shinigami.

DREAM WALKER Shinigami don’t sleep and just hang around menacingly in your room as you’re trying to fall asleep. Can be quite boring though and some find it fun to invade their users dreams messing with their head. Death Note keepers have vivid dreams every night and you can imagine seeing a Shinigami in your dreams regularly and waking up to one looming over you is terrific for your mental health. You quickly lose your grip to reality if this goes on for too long.

I imagine Light learned lucid dreaming after noticing this behaviour and starts messing with Ryuk invading his dreams too.

Rem gets a whole lot more tragic with in this version, as she is the reason Misa is suffering. As soon as she grows feelings for Misa, she’s torn. She doesn’t want Misa to keep writing names, she doesn’t want to take the Death Note away from her, she doesn’t want to write her name and end it all, she doesn’t want Misa to work with Light either.

I can imagine Misa always ordering two of everything when she goes out to eat and everyone going "how are you staying so thin??" and Rem be like "I got you"

Kal suffers to the extreme under Sidoh’s possession, despite Sidoh being on the more unintimidating tame side. The guy can’t cope at all with the haunting presence. He becomes terrified of sleeping/dreaming and tries to keep himself awake with meds, excessive amounts of coffein etc. Maybe he opens up to Rocket-Rick about this:

I have some more thoughts but I gotta stop somewhere.
