Catching Kira is overrated. Let's talk about not getting caught as Kira.
This is the reverse of @couldtheycatchkira where I give you a character and you determine if they could survive as Kira.
Important note: Assume the character is completely willing to be Kira. @wouldtheybecomekira already exists.
Second important note: "Being Kira" just means continuous use of the Death Note to kill. They don't have to get into the whole "God of a New World" thing if they don't want to.
There are six categories:
Never caught or suspected: Not only does this character live to actually create their new world, but nobody ever suspects it was actually them! I better not see you vote people into this category just because you like them or it'd be funny. Actually it being funny is valid
Suspected but never caught: It's about a five percent chance. They live to make their new world, and while people have certainly suggested it being them, and some believe it, there's just not enough evidence to convict them
Suspected only by whoever caught them: The general public was fooled, but someone, likely an enemy of that character in their canon, caught on to them and brought them to justice.
Suspected and eventually caught: Look, not even Actual Kira was perfect. They slip up little by little, and they get caught.
Caught almost instantly: Oh, all of that character's worst enemies die day one? Yeah, if they don't stop to think, it's pretty easy to lead investigators straight to them before Ryuk has the chance to not tell them some critical information.
Known, but can't be caught: In other words: "I'm Kira, whatcha gonna do about it?" For characters whose abilities outside of the Death Note mean that facing the law is barely even a possibility for them. (This one is a late addition, so early polls won't have it.)
(Results/Unqualified To Say): If you don't know, don't answer. I do try to include supplementary information when I know the character, and get it out of the submitter when I don't, though.
When you submit a character, please include their source media, and if you can, an image of them from their source media.
Additionally, ever so often we'll run polls about the Shinigami Eyes Deal and Relinquishing the Death Note and your memory of it.
For the Shinigami Eyes Deal:
Takes the Eye Deal instantly: As soon as it's on the table they accept. Yes, they did hear the part about losing half their remaining life span. They said they accept.
Takes the Eye Deal eventually: They'll come around to it, or if they think they don't have that long a natural lifespan left anyway.
Takes the Eye Deal due to desperate circumstances: They're forced into a bad spot and just need to get someone off them right now, or their life is gonna shortened by a lot more than half.
Uses someone else who took the Eye Deal: You can choose who, and what circumstances allow this to even be possible.
Never takes the Eye Deal: They just don't. Ever. It's either not worth it, it's too easy, whatever.
For Relinquishing the Death Note
Relinquishes Death Note permanently; no longer needs it: They've done what they needed with the notebook. I know I said we're assuming they're completely willing to become Kira, but we never said anything about staying Kira.
Relinquishes Death Note permanently; only way to survive: Investigators are getting too close to their trail and if they're interrogated they'll definitely crack. It's possible they also make someone else become Kira, but this is a one-way street. They do not remember this, ever.
Relinquishes Death Note temporarily; never regains it: It's very hard to stick to a plan you don't remember making. They relinquish the notebook with the intent of getting it back, and simply never do. Either to a change of heart, circumstances not allowing it, or what have you.
Relinquishes Death Note temporarily; regains it: The perfect alibi, perfectly executed. You can fill in the blanks for what their plan was and how it works, they're Kira, they'll do it.
Never relinquishes Death Note: Again, they just don't.
And also also, you can submit strategies for what you would do if you're Kira! These can be found under the tag "Kira's strategies," and are polled with the following options:
Flawless Strategy; Why didn't Light use this, is he stupid?
Great Strategy; On par with Light
Okay Strategy; Anyone could think of that
Poor Strategy; You've made some critical oversights
Terrible Strategy; This would get you caught faster
