A Life Lived

Abilities/powers: None, to speak of, unless the amazing capacity to maintain some muscle tone through little to no physical activity counts. He is profoundly intelligent, which I suppose is a power in itself. He possesses a photographic memory, stunning vocabulary, and can work numbers faster than a calculator. He's also gifted creatively; he has a good ear for pitches and knows how to play the violin. His deductive powers are extreme. L speaks many languages fluently. He is skilled in the martial art capoeira, and he plays a mean game of tennis. He reads quickly with insane retention and can watch multiple computer or television screens at once. L knows how to aim and shoot a gun. He is knowledgeable in the sciences, particularly chemistry, and can create poisons if he needs to.
Personality: Eccentrically sane and a Monday-morning lunatic. L is a bit odd, but manages to get by, even though he is strangely helpless in some of the simplest things. He is incessantly literal-minded, and often does not understand turns of phrases or figures of speech. Living with him would be a challenge and possibly frustrating. L is unpredictable and odd, and even comes off as slightly unstable. He has numerous odd quirks, among them his compulsive adoration of sweet things, caffeine, and sitting in peculiar manners, and his violent dislike for physical human contact, sandpaper, and mirrors of any kind. He is intense and highly educated, despite his relatively brief amount of formal schooling. He is captivated by all things mathematical, and is especially enthusiastic about the prime numbers and Pi. He is, while not particularly literary-minded, very taken with Dostoevsky's work.

L is paranoid, and a liar. He often says exactly the opposite of what he means, making it difficult to get to know him... but he values the truth greatly.

L is extremely literal, taking most things people say exactly the way they sound, since most people do not think through what they say and it is often informative to go with their initial thoughts and expressions. He analyzes things to death, though he finds talking through his syllogism-based logical processes for others is tiresome and annoying. He feels alone frequently, having many anonymous enemies and few friends, but is seldom depressed, choosing rather to distance himself from emotions. He is well aware that feeling too human will cloud his judgement, which he understands to be the best there is. L does not rate image highly, nor does he care much for material things. e doesn't handle or enjoy the idea of money.

He is surprisingly naive in ways of the world. He believes himself to be a virgin and claims to care little for sexual interaction.

Though L generally respects government and is by no means an anarchist, he has been known to break the law, obtain things and information illegally, and ignore moral guidelines. Though quiet and introverted, he is an alpha-male who is used to being respected for his competence. He deeply resents authority figures.

History: L was born to a woman named Sophie, the bastard son of a man he has never learned the name of. His mother named him "Luke" and loved him dearly, but was constantly hurt and troubled by his isolation and disinterest, and even aversion, to her motherly attention. On the autistic spectrum, he covered his ears when she sang lullabies, because every slightly off-key note was torture to a child with unidentified perfect pitch. He criticized her drawn smily faces for not being "perfect circles". He never knew what her face looked like because he was afraid to look her in the eyes, and could not stand to be touched, and he therefore could not tell his mother from Eve. Dealing with a brilliant but frustrating child became too much for Sophie to bear after Luke returned home from his first day of school in a police car, bruised and bloody, because he'd wandered away from the bus stop and into a bad part of the neighborhood, where the terrible things that can happen to a child alone happened. He had managed to escape eventually through desperate cleverness, but Sophie knew that a normal life could never belong to her son. So, she put him in his car seat and played a cassette tape with ambient bells to soothe him to sleep before she purposely drove her car off a bridge in an attempt to kill both of them. She believed that all children went to heaven.

L woke up from a coma four years later, a medical fluke allowing him to communicate better and look people briefly in the eyes. The severity of his autism had diminished, and as a result, his genius was able to shine through fully for the first time. However, he was still a child, and still reliant on the help of others for even the simplest things, so he was taken into an orphanage for gifted children. It was soon established that he had a unique aptitude for problem-solving, mathematics, and logic, and it became apparent that he was going to be a great detective once his body caught up with his brain. However, some things about his psychological development were stunted, and he remained a child in many ways even after he looked like a man. His caretakers fretted about the liability of such a precious mind belonging to such a fragile set of circumstances, and agreed to keep his identity secret and his environment static while he solved the most difficult cases the world has ever known.

His latest, of course, was the Kira investigation. He suspected Light Yagami of being a mass murderer, but was without substantial proof to make it official. He took a gamble in order to test a rule that would prove Light guilty, but unfortunately it resulted in his own death.
