Kira

**Furst Kira**, also known as **Light**, is the current owner of the Death Note that was dropped by Ryuk. He planned to purge the world of sin and evil and become the God of the New World.

## Biography

Light was born in Kyoto and attended a prestigious private school, where he scored the top grades at his school. This was not because he was incredibly smart per se, but because he was smart enough to cheat on every test without being noticed. That's not to say he was incompetent, just that he didn't value academic honesty. He lives in a small, two-storied townhouse with his father, who is the chief member of the Japanese Task Force. His mother and sister both unfortunately died in a tragic car accident.

One day after school, Light came into contact with a Death Note. This book happened to be dropped by the shinigami Ryuk, who was now bound to follow Light until he died. After discovering that the Death Note's power was legit, he decided to use its ability to purge the "Rotten World" of evil and leave behind the "good" and "pure" of the world. He began to add the names of numerous convicted criminals condemning them to death via heart attack. This grabbed the attention of the public, the International Police, and the Japanese Task Force, who were all convinced some person was behind these killings. The public dubbed him Kira, a derivative of the English word "Killer". Coincidentally, this happened to be the same as his last name.

Eventually, Light would encounter two individuals who would throw an oversized wrench in his plans.

Two burglars posing as police officers broke into Light's house. Light, believing the "officers" were there to investigate whether or not he was Kira, attempts to hide the Death Note on his desk from the intruders. Unfortunately, this fails, as he drops the book, revealing the hundreds of written names of various criminals. Upon being accused of being Kira, Light attempts to lie, saying that he was writing down the names of people whom he believed to be the victim of Kira's condemnation in a personal diary for research purposes. To further sell the lie, he even mentioned wanting to become a detective after graduating. Somewhere in this interaction, he realises that the two are not legitimate police offers and that they likely didn't have access to confidential information.

Light's deception actually fools the burglars for a little bit until they see that their own names were written in the Death Note along with specific death dates. They begin to question Light even more to the point where he is forced to call the police to get them out of his house as a last resort. After contacting the police and hanging up, he began to taunt the duo, even almost slipping the fact he was the real Kira. With all of the commotion, he had failed to consider the fact that the intruders might've been armed. Unfortunately, he learned the hard way, as he was violently shot three times in the chest by Mac. He collapsed and sputtered some curses before he was accidentally shot in the head and became unresponsive.

The burglars attempted to flee the scene in a panic, but were caught and eventually brought back to the scene by a legitimate police officer. The cop found Light unconscious but was eventually convinced that he was just sleeping. The pair, who were now in possession of Light's Death Note, erased their own names from the book and sentenced the cop to death via suicide. After they found that the man they had just shot was actually Kira and the Death Note's power was legitimate, they ran off with it, leaving Light to be found by his father when he came home from work early.

## Personality and Traits

Light is described by others as being very smart. He is popular amongst his peers, held in high regard by his educators, and adored very much by his grieving father. This had lead to him developing an immense level of hubris, which ends up distorting his strong sense of justice once paired with the abilities of the Death Note.

## Trivia

* Furst Kira is a play on the fact that Light is considered the "first Kira" in the canonical Death Note universe due to the existence of Misa.
	+ In-universe, Light becomes incredibly defensive when asked his name and claims that it is of European origin.
