Timeline & context headcanons for my unique Beyond Birthday & the people in his life.
Beyond was born April 3rd, 1982, making him three years younger than L.
Beyond's half sister, Rosetta, was born October 2nd, 1976.
Beyond's family name is Espina. His true first name is Jahleel.
Gigi/Gilda, my Wammy's House OC, was born May 12th, 1987.
Beyond is the son of a Shinigami named Oshigai & a witch. Oshigai leads a Revolution feat in the Shinigami Realm consisting of a dozen other Shinigami who plan to overthrow the Shinigami King. Together they bore about two dozen half Shinigami children on Earth. The Revolution begins once all these children die & pass into the Shinigami Realm. Beyond is the strongest of them all, being the son of the leader of this plot.
Beyond & Rosetta's mother dies when Beyond is 6 & Rosetta is 12. They're sent to live with their grandparents in a town full of retirees just outside of Los Angeles. However, Beyond's devious & haunting aura caused his grandparents to relinquish guardianship of him just a handful of months later before placing him in a Californian orphanage where Quillsh Wammy found him six months later. Beyond is 7 years old when he enters Wammy's House.
Beyond runs away from Wammy's House shortly after the following events; when he was 17, A committed suicide which he was prompted to do by L formally choosing him to be his successor when the first child turned 18. When Beyond turned 18 a few months later, L formally rejected Beyond as his successor. Beyond does not understand why but the actual intention was this; after A's suicide, L discarded the possibility of any of the first generation becoming his successor, & though Beyond would have been fit to take the title, L did not find it morally correct.
Beyond hides out in Los Angeles for two years before committing the murders at age 20. Upon arrest, Beyond is taken to a hospital equip to care for life threatening burn injuries, where he stays for nearly a year. A complication arises when Beyond gets a severe infection which causes him to lose both of his legs. After his amputations & his infection has receded, his court case begins. It drags on monstrously &, inevitably, Beyond pleads & is ruled not guilty by way of insanity.
He spends the next 19 years of his life in a prison for the criminally insane, initially serving a life sentence. However, he is freed with parole in the summer of 2021 for exemplary rehabilitation & good behavior.
