IV. JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS !
how long have you been living here? ever lived anywhere else?
mello has lived in seven devils his entire life ; he has family from germany , but other than that ?? nowhere else .
what was your childhood like in seven devils?
mello canât remember anything before the orphanage ; his parents , all he knows is that they were originally from germany & the headmistress of the orphanage was a close friend from germany , but thatâs it , and thatâs how it stayed until he decided to run away on his own at the age of sixteen - because relentless bullying & being reminded nobody wants you is a lot to deal with in the first decade of your life and then some .
where would people most likely find you in seven devils?
mello doesnât really have a set place he likes to be ; he often sometimes travels around the rest of the city on his motorcycle , just to clear his head - maybe sometimes going to the dive bar if he needs to fill his stomach ( he canât legally drink , and surprisingly , heâs adamant about not doing so until heâs twenty-one . ) heâs sort of a loner , sort of not - he wonât go with anyone , but he might talk with anyone there .Â
V. A LITTLE HISTORY TO END ON
CANON ( SPOILERS FOR DEATH NOTE . )
Itâs supposed to be a place where the children of the dead , unwanted , et cetera are cared for - but more so itâs a breeding ground for geniuses , raised and conditioned from the moment they walk through those doors to be the faces of a new dawn , or to live up to their poster child , the worldâs greatest detective - L . Wammyâs House for Gifted Children ; thatâs where Mello grows up .Â
A hero-worship , one would call it , of the iconic detective is what he develops early on , and thereâs motivation to strive to be just like him . Because someone is going to be his successor , and he wants that title to carry on his heroâs legacy . However . . . thereâs an issue .
He strives and tries his best , yes , and he does amazing - but there is always one kid who seems to beat him at every test , every trial , and his name is Near and Mello grows up resenting him because he canât seem to shake the ânumber twoâ title he gets with Near always in front of him . And itâs getting really goddamn annoying when youâre crying your eyes out in your little room because someone told you that you were so close to getting a higher score than him but , as always , you never make it . Because THATâS the tragedy of being second best .
To say that Mello has a bit of an inferiority complex . . . would be an under-exaggeration . Because thatâs what encompasses the most of his life - trying to be the best he could to eventually take that spot . And his motivation sits on a computer screen behind a a fancily font-ed â L â . Hero worship never fades .
It leads to heartbreak when heâs young - fourteen , bright-eyed , and learning that the indestructible and undefeated L has fallen to a mass serial killer known as Kira . And his first question - âWho did he pick? Me or him?â
âHe hadnât chosen yet.â
âYou could work together.â
And itâs a sneer that leaves his throat as the idea of working with his opponent is proposed , choosing to leave and instead find his own path . Because he WILL prove himself worthy , on his own , and take his place as Lâs successor .Â
Five years later , and he wants Kiraâs head as his own . And he knows Near is looking for it , as well - so the competition starts up again .
Heâs reckless - or more than so ; because he is not afraid to break the law by any means necessary to get what he wants . Joining the mafia , coaxing kiraâs weapon into his hands by kidnapping the task force chiefâs daughter & making the trade , using it to his advantage and figuring out how it works . Threatening the president into giving him resources to catch Kira . Negotiating with a god of death into confirming his theories .
Of course , the first incident leaves him scarred and burned , because his hideoutâs raided by a SWAT team , so he sets off an explosion and that very same chief of police dies . He feels bad , because good people donât deserve to die . . . but thatâs the way things are , especially when you have a point to prove . The burn scar on his face & body shows enough that heâs hardened enough to survive such a feat .
The second incident is a bit different - after hiding out with one of the people under Near , and of course , confronting him one final time ( telling him his crucial discoveries to the Kira case ) , he enlists the third of Lâs potential successors - and his best friend , Matt - to aid him . Together they deduce that the new L is the prime suspect for being Kira , and their plan to expose such is thrown into action by kidnapping a news reporter that is heavily close to him , and could be an accomplice .Â
. . . It is a bloody day ; Matt dies in a blaze of gunfire as a distraction .
And by that news reporterâs pen & ink , Mello , in his own words post-mortem , dies like a dog in the truck heâs driving . A body never discovered as everything goes up in flames , yes his discoveries create the breakthrough that leads to Kiraâs eventual demise - like a last laugh , if you will.
â Good memories & nightmares . â
SEVEN DEVILS .
In a way , one could say thereâs many similarities to this life & the other . A child of unwanted parents , tossed in an orphanage , leaves at sixteen after constantly being reminded and tormented that he isnât wanted .Â
Only issue is - howâs a young one to support himself in a city that chews its residents up and spits them out like flavorless gum ??
Crime . Thatâs the answer .Â
It starts out in gangs , unaffiliated gangs that pay Mihael - or Mello , because names have power and he doesnât need anyone else to have power over him - to do things such as steal , transport , smuggle , etc . And in turn , he crashes at their hideout , has food in his belly , et cetera .
But then those gangs get involved with larger syndicates , and itâs in an altercation that heâs discovered and one of the higher-ups in the Underworld recognizes raw talent from the way he fights and defends himself , negotiates with an unshaken bravery that only comes with being tossed around like youâre nothing .Â
. . . Heâs recruited in - taught to shoot a gun properly , snipe an enemy , and other ways to bloody his hands because heâs got the potential to be able to take a life for a price . And while he doesnât enjoy the thought of murder on his conscience , heâs given a deal that all of his expenses will be paid for as long as heâs in service to the syndicate - shelter payment , a motorcycle he can ride , a salary for groceries and fees with every job for other things . And of course , tools he uses for the job .Â
Heâs a good assassin - sometimes , even used as more of a threatening messenger to pass along the words of the syndicate . Because heâs amazing at intimidation , negotiation , and getting his way .Â
But thereâs still a need to prove himself , because he wants the world to know he has the potential to be more than just a crime syndicateâs lackey . Maybe go out on his own - and take out the people whoâve used him here since he knows although they provide for him , heâs still expendable and he knows it . It forms a chip on his shoulder that heâs never going to be seen as much unless he proves that heâs dangerous to even the people who use him for so .Â
Itâs an endless desire to feel wanted , special , taken seriously as his own person . And thatâs all he wants . Even if he has to bloody his hands & betray those who took him in ( canât be out of the kindness of their hearts , can it ? ) to do so .
OTHER FACTS
OKAY SO LONG STORY SHORT IN SEVDEV Mello is an assassin for the Underworld who was taken in after his original gang got clapped and the whole reason he got into a life of crime was to escape homelessness . And now heâs . . . a very good assassin , and the Underworld pays for his living expenses , but heâs got a desire to grow past them since he knows they could take him out at any second and only view him as an underling and hoo boy , heâs not having that . Whether this means going out and starting his own gig or even playing into the hands of the enemy ?? Who knows . Mello hasnât discovered this yet . But he wants to be taken seriously and heâs forming a plan on how .
Heâs kind of a jack-of-all-trades in the Underworld - primarily an assassin but they also send him to do stuff like threaten a contact ( then kill if it doesnât work ) , negotiate , etc . bc heâs really good at intimidation and heâs very smart but again , underestimated in the sense that heâs under their thumb and he canât do anything about it - unless he goes out on his own plans .Â
He doesnât really have a stable home tho like heâs honestly kind of moving around physical places ( bc again itâs all paid for ) in different hotel rooms or motel rooms frequently bc living in one solid place isnât the safest for him , he thinks . So heâll rent out a place for maybe like a week or two weeks at max and sometimes even shorter if heâs feeling too at risk .Â
Civilian cover story ?? Heâs just ... a guy there isnât much else else . He makes up a different story as to what his situation is every time and it ranges from âuh rich familyâ to âi have a sugar daddyâ and a lot of times he has to move apartments so ppl donât figure out his location ESPECIALLY if they have information on the Underworld .
He remembers ?? Some of his past like he remembers Near & Matt , and then the explosion that gave him the scar on his left eye . And also taking Takada on the motorcycle but none of what happens afterwards - doesnât remember Matt dying & doesnât remember himself dying .Â
AND UH . . . . thatâs ?? Pretty much it like I donât rly have much else that wonât go in the plotting call .Â
IâLL PUT THAT UP SOON SEE YâALL LATER HOPE U LIKE MY KIDDDD
