Mello eating chocolate (yummy)
Mello is a dark force to be reckoned with. Whether he seeks to manipulate the minds of the Kira investigators, or challenge the mind of his rival Near, he is a shadowy warrior who does not submit to weakness. He strives to stand at the top of the world; regardless of whatever that might cost him. Instead of a strong sense of justice, Mello tracks down Kira for competition’s sake. He is driven only by his own wish to thoroughly defeat Near.
To posses the level of power that Mello does is impossible for a mere fan. However, these tips may be of use to those of you who believe you are up to such a challenge of becoming Mello.
1) Develop a taste for chocolate. So great was Mello’s love for this treat that it was actually a part of his downfall.
2) Wear black clothing, and especially use leathery items. Throughout his entire appearance in Death Note he wore only variations on this theme.
3) If trying to cosplay as Mello, then blonde hair would be very helpful. His hair was styled in tousled manner around his head, regardless of the circumstances.
4) While working with clothing, use garments with superfluous zippers. This was yet another one of Mello’s hallmarks of style.
5) As with L and many other individuals in Death Note, Mello hides behind an alias. Referring to oneself with a pseudonym will increase the element of secrecy that Mello so meticulously strived for.
6) Never stop trying to better yourself. It is quite apparent that Mello has an inferiority complex, when dealing with Near, and he never stops improving himself.
7) Read the Death Note manga, as it is here that the exploits of the Shinigami’s notebook had begun.
8) Base your actions according to emotions, when such a course of action is advisable. Mello’s mind is quite driven by emotional impulses.
9) As well as having emotional actions, understand the responses of others. In a world where most players were cold and calculating, Mello understood the human aspects of conflict.
10) Watch the Death Note DVDs. By further absorbing the strange and unique tale of the world’s greatest murder weapon, you can become closer to Mello’s standard of intellect.
11) Work hard to achieve your goals. Unlike Near or Light, Mello’s actions are intended to accomplish goals through hands on methods.
12) Have tactics in mind to deal with any situation. Mello’s reaction time was legendary and he had to devote little thought to realize how to respond to a situation.
13) Have a deep sense of loyalty towards those that you work with. Even though he may have had many evil tendencies, he was distraught at the loss of his consort Matt.
14) Surround yourself with as many pieces of Death Note memorabilia as possible. Wall scrolls and character figures will build up the dark, gothic feel needed for someone trying to emulate a character from this unique series.
15) Develop a sense of cunning. Mello was never one to give up thinking and planning ahead as he hatched his nefarious schemes.
