As an experiment, I was thinking about how to stat characters from other series. Death Note came up, with its strong focus on True Names and also it's extremely intricate set of rules for using the titular magic notebooks.
(For those who haven't read the series: Light Yagami is a brilliant student who obtains the Death Note from a shinigami. By writing someone's true name in the Note and thinking of their face, that person will die. Light decides to use it to kill off major criminals, improve the world, and eventually become in charge of the world. When it becomes clear that someone is killing off criminals, the world's greatest detective, L, begins trying to find out who's doing it. Thus the series becomes a race between L to unmask Light and Light to find L's name and face. Other Death Note users, detectives, and Shinigami get involved, and it becomes a huge battle of wits. Wikipedia has a lot of info about it.)
I was thinking that Light would need to have super-high scholarship scores (number 1 student in Japan, and L's intellectual equal), high craftsmanship, and good social scores (rapport, presence, empathy). Probably also very high discipline and conviction too, given what he's doing.
The notebook would be an Item of Power. It can kill, obviously, and it also enthralls (it can take control of a subject's actions before death, within certain parameters), so that'd be Lawbreaker there. Light would probably also have a bunch of stunts redirecting various trappings to his Scholarship score.
Thoughts?
