The year is 2018 a.t.b. / Revolution Year 229-230 December...Emperor Richard Von Britannia has passed on...leaving Princess Harmonia La Britannia on the royal throne among large descent from the nobles...She was originally twentieth in line to the throne at the time of her ascent. Emperor Richard in his high throne in the Imperial Capital Pendragon chose to pass it along much down the line after Crown Prince Kyle Don Britannia was caught in affair with a eleven (Japanese) woman. Scandals have broken out through the Empire as the seventeen year old empress takes her seat on the throne. Many still view Prince Kyle as the rightful ruler though him himself gave her his blessing. Backing her is the old loyalist faction of Richards. A sturdy group of strong noblemen from Britannian's heartland. Prince Kyle's beloved younger sister likewise has his support as well which brought in the Progressive faction seeking to advance Britannia into a new era.
However...among the crowning ceremonies, and preparations there are whispers going among the military personnel, and nobility. Planned coups, leaks, and unrest in the citizenry. Though unions hold little power in Britannia due to Imperial rule being absolute the citizens still back, and make many of Britannia's raw materials. It is the people who man the armies the Emperor sent to take Japan. And they are the same ones distrusting further abuse by their new empress as kind as she is she is inexperienced. Though due to a ceasefire The European Alliance has ceased hostilities with Britannian Occupational forces in Spain, and France. Britain, Scotland, and Ireland remain under occupation under General Bradley Hanon. These citizens are gathering in large numbers more frequently. Riots are forming and while the knights of the round have managed to forcibly quell things from going out of hand. It its these citizens who now are making for a push to lessen the noblity's strangle hold led by Henry Long. A manufacturer of steel in northern Britannia though he is not a noble he is wealthy enough. Coming up from a horror story in the slums of the worst areas of Britannia Long is a living legend even to those who do not support him. He rose, and became a king pin in economics even at one point attending to a crisis in the name of the late King Richard.
Among the nobles things don't seem to be fairing better many nobles view the new empress as incompetent, and a liability. Supported by even some of the Knights of the Round these nobles are secretly arming themselves. Preparing for a possible rallying call...war is coming it is inevitable be it in the capital, or across the whole company many nobles are plotting to take a hold of power in this new vacuum. It is on the west coast that this sentiment is the strongest. Many of the Britannians there dislike that they now have to trust in a new child queen put into power by the will of the late Emperor due to scandal, and in fighting between his oldest children. Knightmare brigades are secretly being made fueled by veterans of the Japanese campaign, and even some from the nobles who fought in Europe.
Things are becoming clear...civil war is being ushered in...whispers...hate...and anger fuel the fires. When things come out what will survive? A whole Britannia...or a lesser one?

Hello everyone this is going to be an alternative universe roleplay revolving around the Code Geass Universe. Lelouch, and crew won't be around for this roleplay. This will be purely done with player made characters using canon, or semi-canon Knightmare frames. You may feel free to request custom units if you're a knightmare pilot (please note game frames are allowed, and Knight of the Rounds are obviously likely to have special frames), but I may restrict some depending on what are asked for. We will be playing the Noble Faction seeking to overthrow Queen Harmonia La Britannia off her throne. If the above is worded poorly, or you don't understand basically a young princess has ascended the throne after her father's death due to the influence of the crown prince. The fear was that he'd introduce outside influences to change the Britannian structure. That is why The 'Progressive' Faction is the main opposition. This is not to model real life politics American or otherwise. It is just the name of the main opposition to the throne as they want to aggressively pursue changes in Britannian political structures be it inner, or outer.
The Prince marked with scandal chose to put his sister on the throne for reasons only he would know. His immediate younger siblings are all embroiled with in fighting over the matter further wreaking havoc their unity. You may play a noble, a soldier (likely an elite if you want a major part in the story, or at least a talented soldier), or a knight of the round/noble's knight.
Other options may come as you request. However I request you keep in mind making yourself lower on the chain of command makes it hard for you to interact with nobles. The overview of the roleplay will be a three way war between the three factions for control of Britannia. The Royal Britannians led by the new queen, The Noble Rebels led by my character's grand father, and The Syndicalist Workers Union. The citizens will rise up shortly into the rp due to a harshly put down riot. A syndicalist uprising seeking to 'break their chains'. The current knightmare generation goes up to seven meaning many of the canon suits will be available but not the Gurren Stein, or Lancelot Albion style knightmares.
The Britannians currently control territory roughly equivalent to R2 France, and Poland are the frontlines in the Euro wars. Spain is currently under control half, and half due to the ceasefire. The Chinese Federation will be involved later but not initially it depends on where the rp goes. The main focus of this rp is THE CIVIL WAR.
The nobles DO NOT HAVE TO BE BIGOTS, OR RACIST. The main intention of the rebellion will be to overthrow the monarchy in order for the nobles to take direct control. Some of them will be, others are just well intentioned patriots who don't want to see Britannia crumble under a monarchy, or fall to Syndicalism (think a more anarchist communism if you don't know what that's like)
If you have any ideas, or questions you want to discuss you may feel free to ask.
