The year is 2020. The world's primary power is Britannia, controlling 1/2 of the known Earth. The Chinese Federation mostly controls the other half, although it is generously allocated to a few lone stragglers. The Britannian empire is a place of glory, riches, and high living. The numbers are not as fortunate. Area 11, formerly Japan, took the change better than others. Once a proud nation, it has been reduced merely to kissing the feet of a greater being. The fate is worse than that of a war-torn rebel nation nearing extinction. The system to become an Honorary Brittanian is simpler than in other Areas because of this, so few Elevens remain. Those who rebel are looked down upon, even by their fellow once-Elevens, and those bursts happen a few times every three or four years. Needless to say, Japan is long-gone, buried under the Great Britannian Influence, as it has become widely known. Any rebellion in Area 11, even if it were to grow, would not have the people's support, and therefore not the Chinese Federation's, which means it has little to no hope of defeating something as great as Britannia.

The Chinese Federation is a place where meager and poor living are quite normal, and perfectly fine. Many plots are brewed and stewed there to overthrow Britannia, and they have the wealth. Despite their people's poverty, a democratic system (adopted from straggler Amourica) ruled that the people would gladly give up their money to help the currently-nonexistent war effort. The only hope of defeating Britannia is Geass, the absolute power that reflects one's inner soul's desires. The Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire has this power, making another contract arising the only hope. No contracts have been made in this world since the Emperor's so long ago. However, a strange scent rides upon the air today. An unidentifiable smell unlike any before. Perhaps this is a sign of a new great change? The sign of a new contract-giver, a new unknown person, waiting to ask the fated question?




Hello, and welcome to Japan-erm-Area 11! I'm Lily, your faithful GM. Chances are, if you are reading this, you've either been sent here by the Interest Check or pure, unfettered intrigue. If the former, you know all that I'm about to type! Read it anyway! If the latter, read and learn! Please! This is a story-driven RP. This means that those who are playing (@karamonnom, @ClocktowerEchos, @Otome Otaku, @Zugzwang, @vancexentan, and me, currently) are going to be sent a synopsis of the current story arc. They can choose to follow it, loosely stick to it, or just full-on ignore it. After the arc is completed, I'll release it to the public, just for fun, so you can see what they were supposed to do. Their characters are completely theirs. Within humanity's reason, they can go wild. And that is the same with how they interact. They can fight, love, be friends, be evil betrayers, be stereotypical heroes, or be just plain stereotypes, or maybe all of the above! As long as I approve them.

Here's your setting in terms of Code Geass-standards. This takes place in a calmer Area 11, Geass still exists, it works the same as it did in the anime, Zero and the Black Rebellion/Black Knights never existed, (no canon characters or their offspring, guys) neither did C2, Suzaku, the rest of everyone, Lancelot, etc. The only exception is the Britannian royal family. They are completely the same, exclude Lelouch and Nunnaly. Prince Clovis is still the ruler of Area 11. There have been no major technological advances since the anime. In other words, everything is exactly where it was left except for the things I mentioned before. Simple, right?

Geass will be based on a character's personality/history to determine what power they will receive. The contract scenario will play out in PM, and the recipient will be selected using RANDOM.ORG. Your character may decline the contract, in which case they will be aware that Geass exists, just not what it is capable of. All other players will have no idea who has the Geass (or, IC, that the Geass exists.) Keep in mind that I may choose to give the Geass scenario at any time, so nobody necessarily has the Geass at any given point. Your character can (and probably will) run tests to see the limits of their Geass, though its bare-boned schematics will be known to them immediately. All situations involving Geass will be played out in PMs with anyone involved. Keep careful check on your character's knowledge. I'll also run a tiny chance that somebody stumbles into one of your Geass PMs, interrupting you, in which case the chance grows higher that more people will stumble in. Eventually, you may be asked to copy your posts into the IC, but that's rare. Either way, your character can react in any way to the Geass. They may not start a rebellion, but they may just act cool as hell from then on.

So, any questions? Completely lost? Ask in the OOC! None? Good, happy playing! (This roleplay is currently in the middle of an arc, and not allowing new entries. We encourage you to subscribe to the thread, as it was designed to be a suspense game with the readers in nature. You can join to fill open spots after an arc is finished, as well!)




Arc 1: Seed, pt. 1

Unfortunately for me Clock has made a similar character to my own however I will edit him to try to make him different. By similar I don't mean he's a Britannian but he is, or more correctly was, a knightmare frame pilot that came from Ireland (before Europe was taken over by Britannia as apparently the EU doesn't exist in this timeline.). He joined the Japanese Liberation Front as a way to gain experience so he could lead an effort to revive Europe or at least his homeland but when the JLF faltered his foster father had him leave the group. He has the potential to become an Ace pilot and a great soldier but he isn't much in the leadership category. He can lead but he lacks charisma and subtly.

@vancexentanWhoops sorry about that >///<

On another note, @Lilygold I think I'll be changing a bit of my character's history. Namely having him be a naval officer being getting screwed over by internal politics, forcing him to become a ground soldier which he once again rose up the ranks before he lost everything. It goes a bit better with a theme song I'm thinking for him, but I just wanted your confirmation if that stuff is acceptable.

Of course that also begs the question, does anyone know wtf the Britannian Navy is like? Or ships in CG are like in general?

I would assume Britannia's Military would just be an extension of it's military branch at this point. They'd be there for support and have a similar hierarchy. But im not the gm so it's not my say.

I see what you meant by Jack might be to similiar to Stratovarius. Damn. I might have to rework my character a bit.

Also, there's a notable lack of Japanese characters, all most of them seem to be Brits. Are the Japanese going to be playing red shirts to us all or should we allow someone in if they make a Japanese character?

I suppose you can call Jack's Gang red shirts but they are Japanese. It just happens Jack is Irish in nationality. He has more or less become a mostly Japanese person after going there since he wants to respect their culture.

Agh, posts!

@ClocktowerEchos That's fine, just make sure it's final once everyone's is posted. Also, your question is good. I suppose they're mostly using, I dont know... Air-craft carrier-like vehicles that carry flying Knightmares? Best reference you could look to is in a few episodes containing Britannian naval forces. Can't name for you now, unfortunately.

@vancexentan Same thing as above, really. Yuu is Japanese! *defensive* Just... honorary Britannian!

@Lilygold Aircrafts mostly came in the second season didn't they? I know I saw Britannia having a navy before they figured out the major flight mechanics in season two.

Also I'm assuming you want us to wait until others finish their CS's before matching up the characters?

Yeah, basically. Yes, wait until all the other characters are finished before filling that part in.
