Introduction: Hello and welcome to my thirty-second fanfiction project. Unlike most of the ones before it, this story will be lengthy, complex, intricate, and feature a number of original characters. As such, I have opted to reserve this first chapter as a spot for profiles of some of the important elements of the story, including the original characters, Knightmare Frames, events, and technologies, all in an effort to help you all keep things straight as you read. In other words, this is not the first chapter of the story, just an information page to help you if you get lost; if you are just starting the story, please go to the next chapter.

Original Characters profiles:

Characters are listed in order of first appearance (character first to speak listed first in case of multiple characters introduced at once). They are organized into three numerical character classes that will determine how detailed their profiles are. The classes are as follows:

As of Turn 11, I have shifted some character classes around and added a fourth class. I have also given character class ratings to the canon character.

1: very minor characters. Includes character references inconsequential one-time characters, and recurring static characters. Only bare details are given here. Imagine the rest yourself.

2: the majority of the cast. Detailed profiles are given.

3: the main characters of this story who will receive extensive coverage, but aren't necessarily on the level of the key characters.

4: the key characters. Ava, Astrid, Chiharu essentially. I increased Megami to class 4 because she's become that important; Deifilia also gets the rank.

Characters may jump up a class if I suddenly decide to make them more important.

The voice actors listed are just a guide to sort of let you know what I imagine the character sounding like; I have nothing to do with them or the companies they work for. To make it more challenging for myself I tried to pick voice actors who do not already have big parts in Code Geass (this is especially true for the English selections, since pretty much every actor associated with the biggest voice studio, Bang Zoom!, works on the show).

The Japanese name translations are provided by Rabukurafuto, and are very much appreciated.

*UPDATE! Exciting news, guys. You can now find art of the characters of this story at soundsbitchin on deviantART (you can find a link on my profile if you don't know how deviantART works). A big thanks go out to Cary for her work on the art!*

Anyway, let's get started...

Scott Holman: スコット・ホルマン "Sukotto Horuma".

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 1

Age: 61

Sex: male

Appearance: Holman is a short old man with a stocky build. He's bald on the top of his head and wears thick glasses. He dresses in starched shirts and slacks.

Role: A teacher of Britannian History at Maldini Private Academy.

Creator's comments: Holman is mainly of note as a character because he provides us with our first glimpse at Ava. He is to Ava a prime example of a fool who has lived his whole life in accordance with lies. He was named for one of the intersections at the university which I attend and inspired by any number of teachers and professors I've had over the years.

Margaret Enneagram: マーガレット・エニアグラム "Maagaretto Eniaguramu"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 1

Japanese Voice: Ryoka Yuzuki (Haruka in Mai-HiME, Ino in Naruto, Yukino in Candy Boy)

English Voice: Kari Wahlgren (Fuu in Samurai Champloo, Tsuruya in the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzmiya, Anemone in Eureka Seven)

Age: 17 (born October 13, 2021 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'8"

Hair Color: bright red

Eye Color: brown

Likes: attention, praise, expensive foods, clothes, Richter Novak, small animals.

Dislikes: being alone, failure, seafood, big animals.

Appearance: a pretty young girl. She has vibrant red hair down to her shoulders which is well kept and worn simply with straight bangs. She has a slight natural tan.

Personality: spunky, attention-seeking, competitive, insecure, unyielding

Role: A student and member of the Student Council at Maldini Private Academy. Ava's self-appointed rival.

Creator's comments: No, I wasn't trying to make her immediately likable. She's not meant to be hated either. Character's like Margaret are almost stock it seems, but I'm going to try and make her arc at least interesting. In case you don't recognize the name, she is the daughter of Nonette Enneagram, the Knight of Nine in Code Geass, a character without one line of dialog the entire series. Why I give such a character a child and make that child important, boils down to a simple reason: I can. Nonette Enneagram might have had no role in the show, but she is never shown dying like most all the other Knights of the Round who are introduced. It also provides me an opportunity to flesh out Nonette as well. I don't know why I settled on the name Margaret. I didn't look up the name meaning, (it means "pearl" it turns out; which kind of does fit her in a rough way). I think I partly decided on it from the Neko Case song, "Margaret vs. Pauline". Mostly, I think I just liked how it sounded with the last name.

Princess Ava li Britannia: エヴァ・リ・ブリタニア皇女 (エヴァ・リ・ブリタニアこうじょ)" Eva ri Buritania Koujo"

Class: 4

First appearance: Chapter 1

Japanese Voice: Hitomi Nabatame (Shizuma in Strawberry Panic, Nanao in Bleach, Kan'u in Ikki Tousen)

English Voice: Lisa Ann Beley (Sumeragi in Gundam 00, Halle in Death Note, Eda in Black Lagoon)

Age: 17 (born January 4, 2021 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 6'0"

Hair Color: jet black

Eye Color: deep blue

Likes: power, books, sweets.

Dislikes: lies, stupid people, the elderly, sad things, bitter foods, Zero, the current state of things, feeling powerless.

Appearance: a very beautiful young girl. Her hair is pitch black, straight, simply styled and extends halfway down her back. She is quite pale. She has a quite impressive figure.

Personality: self-assured, opinionated, blunt, power-hungry, distrustful, confident, sentimental.

Role: The main character of our story. Fourth Princess of Britannia and Sixth heir to the throne. A student and member of the Student Council at Maldini Private Academy. Possessor of Geass through a contract with D.D..

Creator's comments: Our main character. An atypical one, I suppose. Not a typical princess either. There are similarities between her and Lelouch for sure (quite intentionally), but they are also very distinct as I see them. She's cold and calculating at first appearance but she has other sides to her personality. Her journey through the truth will see her through a lot. I had a lot of trouble with her name. I decided on Ava because it worked in being both simple and elegant; a perfect name for our princess. Literally hundreds of other names were considered though. Her full name sounds pretty cool together, I think.

Astrid Weinberg: アストリッド・ヴァインベルグ "Asutoriddo Vainberugu"

Class: 4

First appearance: Chapter 1

Japanese Voice: Mai Nakahara (Nagisa in Clannad, Nagisa in Strawberry Panic, Mai in Mai-HiME)

English Voice: Monica Rial (Kirika in Noir, Sakura in Tsubasa Chronicle, Lumiere in Kiddy Grade)

Age: 17 (born May 6, 2021 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'10"

Hair Color: golden blonde

Eye Color: pale blue

Likes: Ava, romantic things, pizza, flowers, Knightmare Frames, cats.

Dislikes: too much attention, her own shy nature, scary stuff, green vegetables, others who like Ava.

Appearance: Her hair is very long, extending all the way down her back; it has a definite wave to it. She is even more pale than Ava. She has a very sleek, thin build that is stronger than it appears.

Personality: shy, insecure, romantic, stubborn, courageous, willful.

Role: Knight of Twelve. A student and member of the Student Council at Maldini Private Academy. Has a romantic interest in Ava.

Creator's comments: Astrid's an interesting character. I think she's adorable. A real compliment to Ava. Girls like her aren't exactly new to this sort of story, but next to a character like Ava she seemed natural. She's Gino's daughter, as the last name makes evident. This was sort of a hard decision for me. I had Astrid's character planned out before and she doesn't really have much in common with Gino. I don't even really care for Gino much as a character so it's odd I'd give his daughter such a big part. It mostly boils down to me just wanting Astrid to be the daughter of an established Knight of the Rounds and there not being many other options. Astrid's name was selected partly by it's meaning "fair, beautiful goddess". I also just sort of like the name. It's Norse in origin but I think fits well with the Germanic last name.

Richter Novak: リヒター・ノヴァク "Rihitaa Novaku"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 1

Japanese Voice: Mamoru Miyano (Light in Death Note, Setsuna in Gundam 00, Kuro in Kurozuka)

English Voice: Brad Swaile (Light in Death Note, Setsuna in Gundam 00, Rock in Black Lagoon)

Age: 18 (born November 11, 2020 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'11"

Hair Color: light brown

Eye Color: blue-gray

Likes: money, power, himself, smoked salmon.

Dislikes: "annoying" people, pizza, failure, chaos.

Appearance: His hair is short, well-combed and split down the center. He is fairly tan and has a very rigid posture. His facial features give him an overall distinguished look.

Personality: vain, controlling, uptight, ambitious, intelligent.

Role: Son of the CEO of Pizza Hut. A student and President of the Student Council at Maldini Private Academy. A young man of prodigal intelligence and sense.

Creator's comments: Richter is an interesting subject. He was one of the last student council members devised. I needed at least one male character on the thing. I considered giving Richter's spot to a son of Rivalz who would likely inherit his fathers uselessness as a character. I scrapped that idea since I didn't just want it to be a copy/paste reincarnation of the Ashford council. At the same time I was considering all that, I was also wondering how to approach the Pizza Hut issue, since for a Code Geass story I totally have to (I mean in the Code geass universe being CEO of Pizza Hut has to be just about as big as being emperor) Thus Richter came about as a solution. His name origin is interesting. Novak is the actual last name of the CEO of the company that owns Pizza Hut. The first name, Richter means "judge" and is overall just a cool name.

Miya Ashford: みや・アッシュフォード "Miya Asshufoudo"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 1

Japanese Voice: Aya Hirano (Misa in Death Note, Haruhi in the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Nanael in Queen's Blade)

English Voice: Kelly Sheridan (Louise in Gundam 00, Jane in Black Lagon, Sango in Inuyasha)

Age: 18 (born December 1, 2020 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'7"

Hair Color: black

Eye Color: brown

Likes: blueberry waffles with real maple syrup, animals, plants, people, life, fun things, peaceful things, happy things, laughter.

Dislikes: evil.

Appearance: Miya always wears a smile and holds a radiant energy. Her hair is long and typically worn in a loose, sporty ponytail, with wild bangs in front. She has delicate Asian features and is small and thin.

Personality: carefree, agreeable, well-humored, energetic, relaxed.

Role: A student and member of the Student Council at Maldini Private Academy.

Creator's comments: Miya is fun. She's a quirky character. I of course have to mention her parents; you read right in chapter 1; Milly/Nina happened in this continuity. Of all the Code Geass yuri pairings, this one always seemed the most fluid and natural to me. Milly's talk with Nina in episode 9 of R2 is the turning point of Milly's character arc and is wholly significant to her final decisions. Nina may express that Milly isn't her type in that scene, but she seems quite contented later to see what Milly does with herself. That the two get together afterward actually seems somehow reasonable to me, but perhaps I am just the crazy yuri fan. I was always going to include this pairing; wasn't always going to give them an adopted daughter. When I did decide I was going to, I had to make her Japanese, as it shows an important progression for Nina. The name Miya was not chosen by meaning but rather just by sound. I wanted a name that could fit as both a Japanese and a Western name, and it was one of the first I found. It's a cute name anyway.

Padriac Princeton: パドリアック・プリンストン "Padoriakku Purinsuton"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 1

Age: 43

Sex: male

Appearance: A tall, thin middle-aged man in a spotless suit.

Role: Ava's personal chauffeur and manservant.

Creator's comments: There isn't much to note with Ava's servant Padriac. He's served her faithfully for years; she requests he always speaks his mind in her presence yet is still quick to chide him for his comments. His name was derived from the song, "Padraic, My Prince" by the Bright Eyes; the slight variant on the name used intentionally just to make it different.

Anne Levine: アン・レヴィーン "An Reviin"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 1

Age: 46

Sex: female

Appearance: A stern looking older woman in a maid's uniform. Has a composed look to her

Role: Head maid at Ava's home. Attendant to her father.

Creator's comments: There's not much to say about Anne either. She's another of the faithful servant type who always does her job. Like Padriac, her name is also derived from an indie rock song about a dead baby, this time "Leslie Anne Levine" by the Decemberists; Anne was uses instead of Leslie because I didn't want both servants to have alliterative names.

Baron Brighton Ellesmere: ブライトン・エルズミーア男爵 (ブライトン・エルズミーアだんしゃく) "Buraiton Eruzumiia Danshaku"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 1

Age: 29 at death circa 1800 a.t.b.

Sex: male

Appearance (from the statues in the library): a gallant looking man in a cape and hat with a thick mustache.

Role: Original owner of Ava's home. Had a geass contract with D.D.. Constructed the box that allowed her to sleep for 200 years.

Creator's comments: The history of Baron Ellesmere is pretty interesting I think. A man burned alive for associating with witches, and the mob was actually right. I needed something to get Ava her Geass, and even if it's slightly impractical for a man from the late eighteenth century to have developed the technology to let someone sleep for 200 years (though I suppose immortals are different), I think it works fine. With his name I was just trying for something that sounded British and old fashioned. There's no special meaning to it; it is a pretty cool sounding name though.

D.D.: D.D. (ディー・ツー) "Dii Tsuu"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 1

Japanese Voice: Yu Asakawa (Rider in Fate/Stay Night, Cho'un in Ikki Tousen)

English Voice: Maryke Hendrikse (Liu Mei in Gundam 00, Revy in Black Lagoon)

Age: roughly 1000 years (birthdate is not remembered. Likes to celebrate April 2)

Sex: female

Height: 5'6"

Hair Color: radiant blonde

Eye Color: piercing blue

Likes: seeing/experiencing new things, sex, red meat, sleeping, teasing others.

Dislikes: most women, books, shellfish.

Appearance: Flowing blonde hair, down to her knees, has sort of unkempt, wild look to it but in the good sort of way. She is very pale. She has a very seductive, adult figure, highlighted by her large breasts.

Personality: flirty, lazy, apathetic, sexual, curious, adaptive.

Role: An immortal who has lived for centuries, granting countless Geass contracts. Grants one such contract with Ava.

Creator's comments: My goal with D.D. was to make her different from C.C.. They do have similarities; bot hare free-spirited and can tease at times, but I generally tried to go in a very different direction from C.C.. D.D. clings to life; she loves it and never want it to end. She's not really a romantic, but rather just wants to be satisfied sexually by whatever guy currently holds her contract. It was difficult coming up with her origin and how she and Ava would meet, but I like what I came up with. With her "name" I really could have picked any letters...

Hjalmar the Brutal: 凶悪のヒャルマル (きょうあくのヒャルマル) "Kyouaku no Hyarumaru"

Class: 1 (Profile filled out and changed with "Image of the Valkyrie")

First appearance: Mentioned chapter 1, seen in "Image of the Valkyrie"

Age: 33 at death circa 1047 a.t.b. (18 at first meeting with D.D.)

Sex: male

Appearance: Not that intimidating a man, especially at first. later in life, he grew out his beard and donned armor and helmet, giving him a fierce appearance.

Role: D.D.'s first geass contractee.

Creator's comments: Some random viking dude who got lucky and got D.D.'s first contract. Serves mostly as a reference revealing how old D.D. is. Hjalmar is obviously a Norse name; he is supposed to be a viking. In "Image of the Valkyrie, he is actually featured, and shown to be a not all together unintelligent but self-doubting youth until his "Valkyrie" shows him the way.

Dr. Rayner Wilde: レイナー・ワイルド先生 (レイナー・ワイルドせんせい) "Reinaa Wairudo-Sensei"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 2

Japanese Voice: Akio Ohtsuka (Kyoraku in Bleach, Jaeger in Valkyria Chronicles)

English Voice: Patrick Seitz (Isshin in Bleach, Jaeger in Valkyria Chronicles, Charles in Eureka Seven)

Age: 39 (born March 15, 1999 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'2"

Hair Color: dark brown

Eye Color: dark green

Likes: alcohol, Knightmare Frames, cigarettes, cute, spirited young girls, baked goods.

Dislikes: hangovers, his job, his government, spicy foods.

Appearance: He has long, messy has kept in a loose ponytail. He is usually not cleanly shaven. He hunches over and carries a depressed or tired look about him all the time.

Personality: pessimistic, depressed, easily agitated, absent-minded.

Role: A prodigy in the field of Knightmare development who never got a chance to make a name for himself before the war ended. Now a physics teacher at Maldini Private Academy.

Creator's comments: I think Rayner is an interesting character. A prime example of a man with every reason to throw his support behind Ava. He's down on his luck and a hopeless alcoholic, but he hasn't lost all the passion that drove him. When I was searching through lots of names for ones with particularly cool meanings, I found the name Rayner, meaning "deciding warrior". I made note of it. In a story that will be full of warriors, it somehow fell on a scientist character. I kind of like that irony, which is why I kept it. Wilde just sort of sounded cool with it.

Sergeant Major Hiromi Tohdoh: 藤堂 ヒロミ曹長 (とうどう ヒロミそうちょう) "Toudou Hiromi Souchou"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 2

Japanese Voice: Hoko Kuwashima (Clare in Claymore, Tomoyo in Clannad, Cirucci in Bleach)

English Voice: Tabitha St. Germain (Soma in Gundam 00, Roberta in Black Lagoon, Naomi in Death Note)

Age: 18 (born September 10, 2020 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'8"

Hair Color: dark brown

Eye Color: dark brown

Likes: her friends and family, sea bass, justice, Japan.

Dislikes: betrayers, mackerel, perpetrators of evil, loud noises.

Appearance: Hiromi has semi-short dark brown hair that is straight but with jagged bangs. Her default expression is a light smirk. Her body is well-toned and muscular, but not overly so.

Personality: sarcastic, temperamental, protective, well-humored, congenial.

Role: A soldier of the Black Knights. Daughter of a respected general.

Creator's comments: I like Hiromi (notice how I like most of them... I guess they are my characters). She'll have an interesting little arc. She is the daughter of Kyoshiro Tohdoh and Nagisa Chiba, a blatantly obvious pair-up. She's sort of like a blend of the two albeit with a sense of humor tossed in there somehow. I picked Hiromi as her name mostly because I like it. I did look into the meaning though to make sure; it's an ironic fit, the meanings I've found of the name all have to deal with beauty, but Hiromi is one of the story's few girls not intended to be classically beautiful.

Lieutenant Chiharu Ohgi: 扇 千春中尉 (おうぎ ちはるちゅうい) "Ougi Chiharu Chuui"

Class: 4

First appearance: Chapter 2

Japanese Voice: Yuko Kaida (Risty in Queen's Blade, Ryomo in Ikki Tousen, Ryuken in Maria Holic)

English Voice: Wendee Lee (Yoruichi in Bleach, Faye in Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

Age: 19 (born April 19, 2019 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'10"

Hair Color: silver

Eye Color: brown

Likes: octopus, flying, video games, the Black Knight uniforms, slacking off.

Dislikes: cucumbers, work, humorless people.

Appearance: an exotic looking beauty. She has wild, spiked out silver hair, darkly tanned skin, and a well-curved body.

Personality: lacking in initiative, quirky, open, honorable, compassionate, earnest, optimistic.

Role: A primary character in our story. A member of the black knights. Daughter of a former Japanese president.

Creator's comments: Chiharu may not seem like much at first, but she'll grow into a very significant character quickly. Imagining her, she is really hot, sharing a lot of her mother's features. Chiharu is a character who had to exist. Ohgi canonically gets Villetta pregnant. I decided I'd make her of importance for that fact. With her name, I really just wanted to use something that started with "Chi" in reference to the name Chigusa that Ohgi gave Villetta when she had her amnesia. Chiharu was my favorite of the girl's names I found.

Warden John Paris: 監獄署長ジョン・パリス (かんごくしょちょうジョン・パリス) "Kangoku Shochou Jon Parisu"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 3

Age: 38

Sex: male

Appearance: thin, balding, wears a suit and has a mustache.

Role: The warden at Vortigern Imperial Prison

Creator's comments: An easily black mailed liar who proves a useful example of one of Ava's Geass victims. For some random reason, his name was pieced together from songs by the musical artist St. Vincent, "Marry Me" and "Paris is Burning" specifically.

Callista Blackwell, "Blood Queen": "血の王妃" キャリスタ・ブラックウェル ("ちのおうひ" キャリスタ・ブラックウェル) "'Chi no Ouhi' Kyarisuta Burakkuweru"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 3

Japanese Voice: Atsuko Tanaka (Caster in Fate/Stay Night, Claudette in Queen's Blade, Mika in Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora)

English Voice: Christine Auten (Teresa in Claymore, Izumi in Fullmetal Alchemist, Sakaki in Azumanga Daioh)

Age: 42 (born June 21, 1996 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'8"

Hair Color: crimson

Eye Color: blue

Likes: causing others pain, the color red, fine red wines, power, fillet mignon.

Dislikes: those who stole her happiness, solitude, processed foods.

Appearance: she has long, wavy red hair that frames her face. She is in great shape and looks younger than her age. She has a most alluring figure.

Personality: sadistic, maternal, loyal, twisted, fragile.

Role: Formerly the youngest consort to Charles zi Britannia and a feared warrior known as the Blood Queen. Found in the Vortigern Imperial Prison by Ava.

Creator's comments: Callista. The first of the three prisoner characters introduced. She's probably my favorite of the three (big surprise that the female's my favorite...). Her character arose out of a curiosity of mine as to what all Charles' wives/consorts would be like. We know he had a harem, but all we see is Marianne. I thought making one of the consorts a character was a good idea. Making her the token crazy sadist also seemed like a good idea. of course the whole subplot with her daughter makes her a halfway redeemable character I suppose. The name Callista means "most beautiful" and is an all around cool name. Her surname probably reinforces her dark character a little too hard, but I still like it.

Lord Niles Moore: ナイルズ・ムーア卿 (ナイルズ・ムーアきょう) "Nairuzu Muua-Kyou"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 3

Japanese Voice: Unshou Ishizuka (Sergei in Gundam 00, Zabuza in Naruto, Jet in Cowboy Bebop)

English Voice: Kim Strauss (Dewey in Eureka 7, Komamura in Bleach, Ibiki in Naruto)

Age: 55 (born December 31, 1983 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'0"

Hair Color: mostly gray with some black

Eye Color: brown

Likes: the chaos of the battlefield, the idea of redemption, art, roast beef.

Dislikes: the remorse he feels, peace time, the unrefined, tomatoes.

Appearance: he has a distinguished look despite having served six years in prison waiting to die. His hair is short and parted down the middle. he is always clean-shaven. He is quite thin.

Personality: somber, reflective, remorseful, battle-mad, self-defeating.

Role: A valorous soldier in the war twenty years ago. Massacred two villages of innocents in vengeance of his wife six years prior to our story. Ava finds him in Vortigern Imperial Prison.

Creator's comments: Niles is a somewhat interesting character. he was the third prison character I thought of, and I intended him as a sort of foil for Ulric. His story's interesting in it's own right I suppose. With his name, this character literally had like twenty considered. I actually had a different name chosen when I started chapter three from when I finished it. Niles means, from what I can gather "champion", "cloud", or "passionate", all of which work for the character. Moore I just picked as it's a typical last name that sounded right with it.

Ulric Cross: ウルリック・クロス "Ururikku Kurosu"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 3

Japanese Voice: Katsuyuki Konishi (Kamina in Gurren Lagann, Hisagi in Bleach)

English Voice: Trevor Devall (Patrick in Gundam 00, Aizawa in Death Note, Mr. Chang in Black Lagoon)

Age: 26 (born November 21, 2012 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'1"

Hair Color: black

Eye Color: brown

Likes: fighting, drinking, women, hamburgers.

Dislikes: prison, police officers, old men, salad.

Appearance: He has mid-length, messy black hair, and somewhat dark skin. He is muscular but not bulky. Has multiple tattoos on his arms

Personality: aggressive, violent, easily provoked, prideful, arrogant, quick-witted, sharp, direct.

Role: An accomplished prizefighter, well known in underground circuits. Ava meets him in Vortigern Imperial Prison

Creator's comments: i rather like Ulric's character. He's so very different from everyone else in the story. I wanted to have his character, because I though it made sense for there to be a lot of underground fighting when the world was so peaceful. I guess he provides a strange sort of comic relief. Ulric is a guy who likes fighting cause it's what he knows and he's good at it. Honestly, he's probably the most sane of the prison group. His name means "power of the wolf" which of course fits him about as good as anything would have. And Cross is just a badass last name to go with it.

Devlin Granville: デヴリン・グランビル "Devurin Guranbiru"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 4

Japanese Voice: Yuuichi Nakamura (Graham in Gundam 00, Tomoya in Clannad)

English Voice: Chris Patton (Sousuke in Full Metal Panic!, Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist)

Age: 21 (born May 4 , 2017 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'9"

Hair Color: dark blond

Eye Color: brown

Likes: camaraderie, dogs, pasta.

Dislikes: slackness, rule-breakers, melon.

Appearance: A firm standing, handsome young man. His hair is cut quite short. He is somewhat muscular. His expression is mostly level.

Personality: upright, militant, respectful, stoic, eager.

Role: The Knight of Seven. Regina's brother.

Creator's comments: Devlin, taking up Suzaku's old position. He's actually kind of like Suzaku, except he's far less infuriating. With him, it's what you see is what you get. He won't betray anyone. Devlin means "fierce courage". That was too cool to pass up. Granville is just another of the stock surnames I thought sounded appropriate.

Regina Granville: レジーナ・グランビル "Rejiina Guranbiru"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 4

Japanese Voice: Ayahi Takagaki (Nina in Chrome Shelled Regios, Ein in Phantom: Requiem of the Phantom, Feldt in Gundam 00)

English Voice: Colleen Clinkenbeard (Riza in Fullmetal Alchemist, Eclair in Kiddy Grade, Galatea in Claymore)

Age: 20 (born July 16, 2018 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'10"

Hair Color: light brown

Eye Color: brown

Likes: her brother, cats, citrus.

Dislikes: disappointing others, rude people, vinegar.

Appearance: an attractive girl. Wears her shoulder-length hair in a high ponytail. Not particularly well curved, but had an athletic, acrobatic body.

Personality: anxious, bold, imitative, emotional, controlled.

Role: The Knight of Eight. Devlin's sister.

Creator's Comments: While they seem almost the same at first, you'll notice how different the Granville siblings are from each other as things go along. The militaristic behavior is mostly acting on Regina's part. She has a bit of a brother complex and as such does her best to try and follow his example, though sometimes she gets confused and messes up. Regina means "queen". How that relates to her, I'm really not sure at the moment. It made sense during the naming process though.

Sergeant Kenichi Matsuki: 松来 兼一 (まつき けんいち) "Matsuki Ken'ichi"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 5

Age: 19

Sex: male

Appearance: a tall, thin, Japanese guy with nervous eyes.

Role: A sergeant in Chiharu's platoon.

Creator's comments: Poor guy. His sole purpose is to die. Not much to say really. I guess his death is a fairly big deal to Chiharu. His name was pretty much chosen at random; I didn't really care.

Larkin Ellison: ラーキン・エリソン "Raakin Erison"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 6

Japanese Voice: Fumihiko Tachiki (Zaraki in Bleach, Ikari in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ricardo in El Cazador de la Bruja)

English Voice: Christopher Sabat (Armstrong in Fullmetal Alchemist, Chevalier in Kiddy Grade, Galk in Claymore)

Age: 36 (born November 15, 2002 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'4"

Hair Color: black with some gray

Eye Color: brown

Likes: strength, justice, hearty foods, alcohol

Dislikes: people telling him what to think, the unjust, small food portions.

Personality: aggressive, vigorous, forward, lively, bold, quick to action

Appearance: A muscular, dark haired man with a thick mustache

Role: Former Knight of Nine

Creator's comments: Ellison, Wakefield, and Kennard aren't planned out characters. The plan was to give Ava 12 knights, 3 of which she would pick up in prison. Since, I couldn't really think of an excuse for there to be three vacancies so I thought up three minor characters on the spot who would serve as Rounds but not end up following Ava. I'm not sure if they'll show up again, but as thy were good enough to become Rounds it's likely. If I decide I like any of them and want to flesh them out the, expect their profiles to expand. Larkin is one of the stock names I pulled out for use earlier; it means "rough or fierce". As of Chapter 15, I have decided to expand his profile.

Damian Marsh: ダミアン・マーシュ "Damian Maashu"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 6

Japanese Voice: Ryotaro Okiaiyo (Scar in Fullmetal Alchemist, Byakuya in Bleach, Bruce in Mai-Otome~~)

English Voice: R. Bruce Elliott (Kambei in Samurai 7, Gran in Fullmetal Alchemist, Rubel in Claymore)

Age: 52 (born January 15, 1986 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'11"

Hair Color: gray

Eye Color: dark green

Likes: long discussions, those bearing strong character, premium coffee.

Dislikes: unnecessary violence, vanity, loneliness, asparagus.

Appearance: an older man with short gray hair; still fairly muscular. Darkly tanned skin, a well trimmed goatee.

Personality: honorable, compassionate, steadfast, strong willed.

Role: The Knight of Two. A stalwart warrior with a strong sense of honor.

Creator's Comments: Damian is an interesting character. Bismarck Waldstein was one of my favorite Geass characters that didn't get much development. Knight of One, a cool character, his own Geass, his own custom Knightmare. It was really a shame his character didn't have a more interesting arc. As Bismarck was so interesting ot me, I decided to incorporate him in via a couple OCs. One of these is Damian, is supposed rival, who supposedly had the upper hand until Damian got his Geass and became included in the Charles' inner circle. Since so few Knights of the Rounds are shown in Geass, and the Knight of Two is peculiarly omitted despite the fact that you'd think he'd be of sufficient skill to warrant our attention, adding Damian in there seemed okay to me. Damian means to "tame or subdue". Not sure how that fits; I mostly just liked the sound of it. Kind of has a dark sound to it, especially with the surname Marsh.

Benjamin Wakefield: ベンジャミン・ウェイクフィールド "Benjamin Weikufiirudo"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 6

Age: 51

Sex: male

Appearance: An older man with graying brown hair and a light beard.

Role: Former Knight of 11.

Creator's comments: Read the comments for Ellison; Wakefiled's pretty much the same. He's knight of eleven despite being fairly old. I'm sure I could probably think of a story behind that, and I will if I decide to do more with him. Benjamin is a very common name; not much to say about it. I actually don't like his last name now; it's too similar to Rowena's. WIsh I would have thought up something else, but I suppose he's already been named now.

Jim Cain: ジム・ケイン "Jimu Kein"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 6

Age: 69

Sex: male

Appearance: an old man with thick white hair. Strong and lively despite his age.

Role: Principle of Maldini Private Academy.

Creator's comments: Not much to say. Just a sort of situational character. His name was taken, as many other minor characters, from an indie rock song, this time "Jim Cain" by Bill Callahan.

Hildegarde Waldstein: ヒルデガルド・ヴァルトシュタイン "Hirudegarudo Varutoshutain"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 6

Japanese Voice: Romi Paku (Temari in Naruto, Teresa in Claymore, Falis in Murder Princess)

English Voice: Cindy Robinson (Legretta in Tales of the Abyss, Balsa in Moribito, Kukaku in Bleach)

Age: 27 (born September 9, 2011 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'6"

Hair Color: pitch black

Eye Color: green

Likes: people she sees as strong (Ava, Damian, etc.), justice, cooked salmon.

Dislikes: Suzaku Kururugi, injustice, the weak, carrots.

Appearance: an attractive woman with somewhat wild black hair cut an inch above her shoulder. She's has a firm, muscular, but still feminine figure. Her skin is somewhat tanned and she has an incredible intensity in her eyes.

Personality: righteous, valorous, fierce, combative, loyal

Role: The Knight of Four. Daughter of Bismarck Waldstein. A passionate knight with justice as her cause.

Creator's Comments: I love Hildegarde, again, much more than I did when I drew her character up. Initially she was not going to be Bismarck's daughter; but just her own standalone character, with Damian being the only link to the old Knight of One. The idea then occurred to me and took hold. I think it adds to her character, and has Bismarck looked to be about thirty something (not sure an official age was ever given...) him having had a seven year old daughter at the time f his death seems reasonable. Really, the death of Bismarck and the other Knights of the Rounds is one of the parts of Zero Requiem that is most disagreeable to me. I think Suzaku's actions there give Hildegarde one of the best reasons of any to join Ava. Hildegarde is an obviously germanic name meaning "battle stronghold"; a good name for a female warrior type. The decision for the name being used was in part influenced by my love of Soul Caliber character Hildegard von Krone (Hilde), who I find to be damn sexy for some strange reason (I think I have some weird armor fetish).

Yasuko Tohdoh: 藤堂 保子 (とうどう やすこ) "Toudou Yasuko"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 6

Japanese Voice: Ayako Kawasumi (Reina in Queen's Blade, Elena in Claymore, Chikane in Kannazuki no Miko)

English Voice: Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Alicia in Valkyria Chronicles, Ino in Naruto)

Age: 17 (born December 1, 2021 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'4"

Hair Color: black

Eye Color: brown

Likes: her family, Chiharu, peace, house cats, rice balls

Dislikes: disappointing others, being overly protected, anger, spicy foods.

Appearance: a cute young girl. Long, slightly wavy hair, kept in a ponytail when in uniform. Has a small, girlish body.

Personality: sweet, kind, friendly, ambitious, reckless, confident.

Role: The younger sister of Hiromi Tohdoh. A cadet in the Japanese military.

Creator's Comments: Yasuko is a cute character. She has the beginnings of a slight crush on Chiharu. She's very different from her protective older sister. She's very lovable and innocent. Her name as I found it means "peaceful child", which of course fits her.

Rowena Winfield: ロウェナ・ウィンフィールド "Rowena Winfiirudo"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 6

Japanese Voice: Marina Inoue (Chiri in Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, Matsurika in Maria Holic, Alicia in Valkyria Chronicles)

English Voice: Tiffany Grant (Altena in Noir, Asuka in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Kaorin in Azumanga Daioh)

Age: 31 (born May 3 , 2007 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'7"

Hair Color: sandy blonde

Eye Color: blue

Likes: fame, money, influence, getting her way, organic vegetables.

Dislikes: ignorance, the self-righteous, any food she deems "cheap".

Appearance: a fairly attractive woman with very long, curly hair, a curved feminine figure, and a constant frown on her face.

Personality: vain, conceited, disagreeable, opinionated, driven.

Role: The Knight of Six. An egotistical fighter with dreams of greatness.

Creator's Comments: She seems to take all the bad traits of Margaret, Richter, and Callista and mix them together, leading to a rather unsympathetic character. She's sort of intended as a kind of a foil for some of the other Knights, particularly the more noble minded ones like Damian. There's not much redeeming her really, just a sort of character to add some dynamics to the Rounds. Very fittingly, her name means "fame and happiness". Winfield, with "win" in it makes her seem even more narcissistic.

Alastair Kennard: アレイスター・ケナード "Areisutaa Kenaado"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 6

Japanese Voice: Daisuke Namikawa (Rock in Black Lagoon, Keita in Kurokami, Ulquiorra in Bleach)

English Voice: Derek Stephen Prince (Ishida in Bleach, Oswald in Odin Sphere, Shino in Naruto)

Age: 27 (born February 28, 2011 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'10"

Hair Color: brown

Eye Color: green

Likes: conversation, true knights, sandwiches

Dislikes: war, things he doesn't understand, most vegetables

Appearance: A tall, fairly thin man with mid length dark hair and glasses.

Role: Former Knight of 10.

Creator's comments: Have to feel bad for this guy. He ends up not following Ava because Ava doesn't want him. He's much the same as Ellison; he might become more important. Alastair is another of the cool names I picked out to be used at random. It means "defender of man". as of chapter 15, his profile has been expanded.

Katsuo Tohdoh: 藤堂 活男 (とうどう かつお) "Toudou Katsuo"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 7

Japanese Voice: Yuuko Sanpei (Renton in Eureka 7, Aleksander in Seikon no Qwaser, Tetsuo in Arakawa Under the Bridge)

English Voice: Barbara Goodson (Laharl in Disgaea, Naota in FLCL)

Age: 12

Sex: male

Height: 5'2"

Hair Color: brown

Eye Color: brown

Likes: video games, exciting things, knightmare frames, chocolate

Dislikes: being nagged by his sisters, cheaters, being ignored, bitter vegetables.

Appearance: a young boy, thin, dark hair, lots of energy

Role: Younger brother to Yasuko and Hiromi

Creator's comments: Far from an important character. Mostly just there for atmosphere. Don't have much planned with him. Not much thought went into the name either. I don't remember what it means, and don't care to look it up again. profile expanded as of later chapters. I was surprised I ended up using him late game. As a note, I ended up really hating his name. It's far too similar to the names I gave the twins (I completely forgot about him when I named them, I think). I wish I had named him something else, but whatever.

Belisario Nemesio: ベリサリオ・ネメシオ "Berisario Nemeshio"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 7

Japanese Voice: Shinichiro Miki (Lockon in Gundam 00, Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist, Ishigami in Mai-HiME)

English Voice: Scott McNeil (Al-Saachez in Gundam 00, Hohenheim in Fullmetal Alchemist, Koga in Inuyasha)

Age: 44 (born February 15, 1994 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'1"

Hair Color: dark brown

Eye Color: black

Likes: strong women, swords, winning, champagne, lobster.

Dislikes: other men, weakness, processed foods.

Appearance: A handsome middle aged man. Short brown hair, with a thin, well groomed mustache. Darker skin.

Personality: Suave, well spoken, womanizing (but able to control it), advantage taking, devious.

Role: President of the Universal Commission; leader of the EU.

Creator's Comments: First off, before you ask, his name is Spanish, so I guess he is as well. I don't know why. Probably because making the slightly villainous character German, French, Russian or something like that would have been too easy, and I still wanted him to be from a fairly big country He's a cool guy, but plays a sort of dubious role in the story. Belisario means "swordsman". Nemesio means "justice".

Amelia Gottwald (Amy Glen): アメリア・ゴットバルト "Ameria Gottobaruto" (エミー・グレン "Emii Guren")

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 8

Japanese Voice: Minori Chihara (Yuki in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Sumire in Venus Versus Virus, Aya in Tenjho Tenge)

English Voice: Tara Strong (Presea in Tales of Symphonia; Rikku in Final Fantasy X)

Age: 16 (born August 27 , 2022 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'3"

Hair Color: brown

Eye Color: orange

Likes: being useful, animals, sunny days, oranges.

Dislikes: hurting the weak, failure, disloyalty, broccoli

Appearance: A cute young girl. Her medium brown hair is worn medium length and has slight wave to it. She has a very petite, flexible body. Her features are delicate and her skin has a slight tan.

Personality: detached, dedicated, loyal, kind-hearted

Role: An agent of the mysterious organization, Absolution. Has infiltrated the Weinberg manor.

Creator's Comments: I really like Amelia. She's a character I'm excited for. She's just cool. You've probably already figured out who her parents are. Her father was probably my favorite male character in Code Geass (though it's close between him and Lelouch). Amelia means "industrious, striving, or work". Suitably, she's very dedicated to her job.

Arienette mi Britannia: アリエネット・ミ・ブリタニア皇女 (アリエネット・ミ・ブリタニアこうじょ) "Arienetto mi Buritania Koujo"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 9

Japanese Voice: Aya Hisakawa (Priscilla in Claymore, Retsu in Bleach, Chloe in Noir)

English Voice: Clarine Harp (Sei in Burst Angel, Tweedledee in Kiddy Grade)

Age: 37 (born March 21 , 2001 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'4"

Hair Color: blonde

Eye Color: blue

Likes: herself, her pet dogs, young men, most fancy sweets

Dislikes: rude people, commoners, people who don't like her, any food with a strong flavor

Appearance: A woman in her late thirties with long blonde hair. She wears a lot of makeup and extravagant clothes. Carries a distinctly noble air.

Personality: pompous, naive, simple-minded, vain

Role: The sole member of the Royal family aside from Nunnally, Schneizel, Cornelia and Lelouch to survive the destruction of Pendragon. Ava's aunt. First Princess of Britannia.

Creator's Comments: Another unlikable character. She's not really that important. She's on the border of Class 1 and 2. I gave her 2 status, because honestly I like coming up with these details. She's a very shallow character. She's also not that bright, making manipulation easy. Her importance stems from the fact that, as Schneizel and Nunnally have lost the people's confidence, she's heir to the throne were something to happen to Ava. Her name is taken from the Bright Eyes song, "Arienette". I like that song and thought it was a good princess name.

Hu Xuemei: 胡 雪美 (フー シュエメイ) "Fuu Shuemei"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 9

Japanese Voice: Misato Fukuen (Hime in Yozakura Quarter, Yin in Darker than Black, Yoshika in Strike Witches)

English Voice: Tara Platt (Lisa in Bleach, Temari in Naruto, Setsuka in Soul Calibur IV)

Age: 19 (born December 31, 2019 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'6"

Hair Color: silver-white

Eye Color: black

Likes: Xianglin, Tianzi, respectable people, serving her country, crab

Dislikes: disrespectful people, failing, root vegetables.

Appearance: a very beautiful young girl. Her silvery white hair is perfectly straight, long down to her upper back, and typically combed over her left eye. She has an athletic, acrobatic body, with decent, but not incredible curves. She always wears a Chinese sword at her side.

Personality: stern, icy, committed, loyal, judgmental

Role: A girl of unknown origins, left in the hands of the Chinese Federation government as an infant. The young protege of Zhou Xianglin, she is a prodigious fighter. Now a Lieutenant in the Federation army.

Creator's Comments: An unplanned character (well, not completely; I put like two-three spots for characters I would come up with later on Chiharu's side into my plans). Xuemei's character is really a result of the name I came up with, based on the Chinese name list Rabukurafuto sent me. Hu means "wild" Xue means "snow" and Mei means "beauty". So that all went into the creation of her character. I'm pleased with what I came up with. She's a good addition to the cast; an effective foil for Chiharu.

Megami Subarashii: 素晴夷 女神 (すばらしい めがみ) "Subarashii Megami"

Class: 4

First appearance: Chapter 10

Japanese Voice: Yukari Tamura (Midori in Mai-HiMe, Tomari in Kashimashi, Excel in Kurokami)

English Voice: Luci Christian (Yukari in Azumanga Daioh, Kaname in Full Metal Panic!, Ophelia in Claymore)

Age: 26 (born December 7, 2012 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 6'0"

Hair Color: turquoise

Eye Color: red

Likes: people, conversation, fun things, most rice and pasta dishes.

Dislikes: her life, solitude, the sight of blood, overly sweet foods

Appearance: An exceptional beauty. Has long, straight hair, half way down the back with jagged bangs. Wears a long red coat. Has a full adult figure suitable for her age, but a pixie cute face. She's rather tall, and her skin is a smooth but not overly pale white.

Personality: playful, flirty, talkative, blunt, seductive, despondent, lonely.

Role: A woman of complete mystery. A self-professed thief with the Geass to become invisible.

Creator's Comments: One of my favorites character during planning, who doesn't disappoint in the actual story. She's fun and lovable. She also has a sadder side encapsulated by her tumultuous past and her isolating Geass. Her "name" is a glaringly fake, and not in any way a real Japanese name. "Subarashii Megami", as her name is in traditional Japanese name order means "wonderful goddess". That should explain the reactions of all the Japanese characters to her name.

Princess Jacquelyn "Jackie" mi Britannia: ジャックリン・ミ・ブリタニア皇女 (ジャックリン・ミ・ブリタニアこうじょ) "Jakkurin mi Buritania Koujou". (Jackie: ジャッキー "Jakki")

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 11

Japanese Voice: Rie Kugimiya (Melona in Queen's Blade, Nena in Gundam 00, Karin in Bleach)

English Voice: Hilary Haag (Chloe in Noir, Teletha in Full Metal Panic!)

Age: 19 (born October 30, 2019 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'4"

Hair Color: blonde

Eye Color: blue

Likes: watching others suffer, men, being pampered, gourmet foods

Dislikes: commoners, Ava, animals, cake

Appearance: A very pretty young lady. Unlike her mother it's a more a natural beauty. Her hair is long and curled, she has a glamorous, curved figure and a cute face.

Personality: shallow, spoiled, sadistic, deceptive, manipulative, simple.

Role: The third princess of Britannia. Arienette's younger daughter. Has an interest in Richter.

Creator's Comments: A quite evil character. She's very cruel. She enjoys watching other's particularly other women, made to suffer. She likes to act all cute in front of others, when she is really a quite nasty, manipulative person. She's manipulative, but not quite intelligent to realize she's being manipulated. Her name, like most of the character names for characters I don't care too much about was inspired by a song, or two, in this case: "Jackie" and "Jackie Dressed in Cobras", both Dan Bejar sung New Pornographers' songs. I gave her the proper name Jacquelyn to make it all fancy and Princess like. The root meaning of the name is "one who supplants", so it actually fits well.

Captain Wu Chaowei: 吴 朝偉大尉 (ウー チャオウェイたいい) "Uu Chaowei Tai'i"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 11

Japanese Voice: Junichi Sawabe (Grimmjow in Bleach, Archer in Fate/Stay Night, Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist)

English Voice: Tony Oliver (Simon (older) in Gurren Lagann, Lancer in Fate/Stay Night, Ulquiorra in Bleach)

Age: 21 (born February 4, 2017 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'8"

Hair Color: dark brown

Eye Color: black

Likes: guns, showing off, attention, western foods

Dislikes: falling short of himself, sitting still, rice

Appearance: Short hair, medium build, slightly tan. Usually has a smirk on his face.

Personality: energetic, showy, brash, driven.

Role: A captain of the Chinese Federation. A self-proclaimed Ace. Trained for the Black Knights with Chiharu

Creator's Comments: Chaowei seems tacked on. I know he does. I was actually planing to put a character more like him in earlier instead of Xuemei, but the female Chinese names Rabukurafuto sent me were a little better than the male ones, so I ended up instantly coming up with Xuemei's character and story and everything when I got them. I still wanted to add this guy in there, both because we have more established characters on Ava's side and no guys on Chiharu's. I wanted to make him very much unlike Xingke and the other Chinese Federation characters. After the fact, the dual gun motif kinda makes me picture him as a wannabe version of Mr. Chang from Black Lagoon. Wu is the name of an ancient Chinese state. Chaowei means "morning robust".

Kiyoko Ohgi: 扇 清子 (おうぎ きよこ) "Ougi Kiyoko"

Class: 1

First appearance: "A Friendly Game"

Age: 14

Sex: female

Appearance: a cute, energetic young girl. Dark skin and short silver hair, looks rather like a miniature version of Chiharu

Role: Younger sister of Chiharu. Killed in the conquest of Japan.

Creator's comments: Chiharu's cute little sister, who you unfortunately never get to see. Her death is still a sad thing even without an appearance. It's a painful reminder to Chiharu that she needs to fulfill her promise.I realize now I probably should have worked Kiyoko into an earlier scene, but she was never going to be anything more than an incidental character.

Cynthia Moore: シンシア・ムーア "Shinshia Muua"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 13

Japanese Voice: Ai Nonaka (Kafuka in Sayonara Zetsbou Sensei, Konoka in Negima, Fuko in Clannad)

English Voice: Hynden Walch (Nia (younger) in Gurren Lagann, Talim in Soul Calibur, Emiri in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

Age: 23 (born September 1, 2015 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'11"

Hair Color: a soft blonde

Eye Color: brown

Likes: "good" people, books, music, art, colors, romance, friendship, fresh baked bread

Dislikes: "evil" people, cruelty, darkness, rare meat.

Appearance: Her hair is cut short, but not extremely short. It's still a girlish style. She is tall and has a toned, curved figure. She has a medium and and always wears a smile, even when she shouldn't.

Personality: giggly, pleasant, relaxed, soft-spoken, philosophical, strong-willed.

Role: An agent to be of Absolution. Befriended by Miya.

Creator's Comments: Cynthia's character didn't occur to me while I was planning. I didn't come up with her until I was well on my way with things. I think I have a very interesting character here. She's kind of odd, and interesting friend (and maybe something more) for Miya. Obviously, she's Niles Moore's daughter. Expect some stuff between them. Her name meaning isn't interesting. Even though she isn't an incredibly minor character, I went with the song route, naming her after the character Cynda Moore (Cynda being one of many variants of Cynthia) from the song "Black" by Okkervil River. If by some chance some of you are familiar with the song, no that does not mean Niles raped her.

Signa Norrell: シグナ・ノレル "Shiguna Noreru"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 14

Japanese Voice: Mamiko Noto (Kotomi in Clannad; Yukino in Mai-HiME, Tomoe in Queen's Blade)

English Voice: Brina Palencia (Yin in Darker than Black, Yue in Negima, Priscilla in Claymore)

Age: 28 (born June 1, 2010 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'5"

Hair Color: dull white

Eye Color: soft red

Likes: none

Dislikes: none

Appearance: hair is very long, down to her lower back. Her skin is extremely pale white. She has a small, girlish frame and very young looking features.

Personality: cold, emotionless

Role: An assassin working for a mysterious master. Killed Suzaku Kururugi

Creator's Comments: Signa's an obvious archetypal character. Shes' the dark emotionless assassin, not really anything more. Her geass pretty much defines her. She's kind of dull as her own character, but she's a part of something hopefully more interesting. Physically, she obviously suffers from albinism, mostly because I'd thought it'd be make her more standout since she has like no personality. Signa is a Scandinavian name meaning "victory". Norrell is based on the similar Scandinavian name Norell, meaning "from the north". I don't really remember why I changed it by a letter or if it was even intentional, but I kind of like it as it is

Naida Fiametta: ナイダ・フィアメッタ "Naida Fiametta"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 15

Japanese Voice: varies

English Voice: varies

Age: 35 (born July 5, 2003 a.t.b.)

Sex: female (though she can appear male)

Height: varies

Hair Color: varies

Eye Color: varies

Likes: conversation, pain medication, video games, being around friends, any variety of nut

Appearance: varies in accordance to her Geass. Her true form is seen by no one, no even herself.

Personality: chatty, inquisitive, friendly, unstable, twisted

Role: An agent working for a mysterious master.

Creator's Comments: Of the "mystery group" Naida is one of the more normal. That said she's very insecure and hard to predict. She can't abide by silence and has an addictive personality and pressure issues. This makes her kind of fun. Her geass is pretty cool. Her name is interesting. Naida is of Greek origin and means "water nymph". Her last name is Italian and means "little fiery one". Even her name is unstable.

Katsumi Kozuki: 紅月 勝美 (こうづき かつみ) "Kouzuki Katsumi"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 16

Japanese Voice: Emiri Kato (Kagami in Lucky Star, Blair in Soul Eater, Sakuya in Candy Boy)

Personality: spirited, assertive, strong-willed, courageous, romantic.

Role: One of Kallen Kozuki's twin daughters.

Creator's Comments: daiki-kasho was the first person to suggest the idea of giving Kallen twins (though he ultimately wanted triplets, which I felt was a little much). When I brought this up in the forum Kallen thread, many of my readers voiced their favor of it. I decided to go with is very much like her mother. Her name means "victory beauty"

Katsue Kozuki: 紅月 勝恵 (こうづき かつえ) "Kouzuki Katsue"

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 16

Japanese Voice: Emiri Kato (Kagami in Lucky Star, Disk in NEEDLESS, Mayoi in Bakemonogatari)

Personality: patient, observant, studious, bold, playful

Role: One of Kallen Kozuki's twin daughters.

Creator's Comments: Katsue and Katsumi are very cute. Kallen's adorable, really close but really different twin daughters. Katsue's kind of the strange one. She's not really like her mother so much. In case you were wondering it was also daiki-kasho's idea to give them matching names. Katsue means "victory kindness"

Edouard Valentin: エドゥアール・ヴァランタン "Eduaaru Varantan"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 16

Japanese Voice: Hiroshi Kamiya (Tieria in Gundam 00, Ishitoki in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Araragi in Bakemonogatari)

English Voice: Doug Erholtz (Ichimaru in Bleach, Shinji in Fate/Stay Night, Squall in Dissidia:Final Fantasy)

Age: 28 (born April 7, 2010 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'7"

Dislikes: tranquility, inelegance, stupidity, bitter drinks

Appearance: An effeminate man, long hair, fancy dress.

Personality: flamboyant, apathetic, violent, playful

Role: One of the Four Champions of the EU

Creator's Comments: He's a Frenchman. He's kind of Schneizel-esque, I suppose, though less intelligent and more bombastic. Of the Four Champions, he's the one without a conscious. His name is derived from the titular character of the Spoon song, "The Two Sides of of Monsieur Valentine," Eddie Valentine.

Valeria Giullare: ヴァレリア・ジュッラーレ "Vareria Jurraare"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 16

Japanese Voice: Chiwa Saito (Hitagi in Bakemonogatari, Louise in Gundam 00, Francesca in Strike Witches)

Dislikes: noise, animals, sweet foods

Appearance: an attractive girl, long dark brown hair with a gentle curl. slightly tanned skin, sad eyes, slightish figure.

Personality: placid, detached, dreamy.

Role: One of the Four Champions of the EU

Creator's Comments: Valeria's intended to be Italian. She's sort of Anya like, I suppose, a sort of strange, detached girl who sticks with herself. She's the least outspoken of the champions and will thus probably have the least lines, but she seems cute. Her name was derived from the title of the song by The National, "Val Jester", Giullare being the Italian word for jester according to an internet translator...

Cesia Moreva: セシア・モレア "Seshia Morea"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 16

Japanese Voice: Minami Takayam (Kati in Gundam 00, Irene in Claymore, Envy in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

English Voice: Cathy Wesluck (Kati in Gundam 00, Near in Death Note)

Age: 33 (born August 10, 2005 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'6"

Hair Color: brown-blonde

Eye Color: black

Likes: books, discipline, romance, order, fried foods.

Dislikes: rudeness, severe cold, bland foods

Appearance: a thin, woman with fairly short hair and glasses. Has a strict look about her.

Personality: humorless, aggressive, cold, warm-hearted

Role: One of the Four Champions of the EU. Formerly a in charge of training new recruits within the Black Knights.

Creator's Comments: Of the Four Champions, Cesia was probably the most thought up on the spot. She's a fairly standard character, I suppose. Her name is of Russian origin. Cesia is the Russian variant of the name Celeste, meaning heavenly or divine. Moreva was a Russian surname chosen at about random from a list because it wasn't too long. Her name dosen't really come form anywhere.

Elischa Mayer: エリシャ・マイヤー "Erisha Maiyaa"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 16

Japanese Voice: Tetsu Inada (Sajin Komamura in Bleach, A-Ou in Kiddy Grade, Love in Bleach)

English Voice: Richard Epcar (Batou in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Zangetsu in Bleach, Kagami's dad in Lucky Star)

Age: 36 (born May 5, 2002 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'8"

Hair Color: black

Eye Color: brown

Likes: justice, family, protien-rich foods, beer

Dislikes: evil, needles displays of strength, Nemesio, most fruits.

Appearance: a very large, muscular man with short hair and an honest expression

Personality: morally upright, compassionate, temperamental.

Role: One of the Four Champions of the EU.

Creator's Comments: Elicsha Mayer is essentially a Jewish-German name, which I suppose is interesting. He is another fairly stock character, but he serves his purpose I think. I decided on the name Elischa due partly to the song, "Eli, the Barrow Boy" by The Decemberists.

Emily Kane: エミリー・ケイン "Emirii Kein"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 18

Age: 24

Sex: female

Appearance: an ordinary girl with long black hair.

Role: A volunteer working for Absolution in New Pendragon

Creator's comments: A minor character I came up with just to give a new perspective to things as I showed Astrid was alive. Her name comes from the song "Emily Kane" by Art Brut.

James Erland: ジェームス・アーランド "Jeemusu Aarando"

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 18

Age: 26

Sex: female

Appearance: a tall fairly muscular blond man.

Role: A volunteer working for Absolution in New Pendragon

Creator's comments: Pretty much just exists to give Emily someone to talk to. No meaning to the name.

Ashlynn Alvara: アシュリン・アルヴァラ "Ashurin Aruvara"

Class: 1 (see Megami Subarashii for further details)

First appearance: Chapter 19

Age: 20

Sex: female

Appearance: She's younger than she is at present and it shows; her hair is cut shorter and cuter and she dresses in simpler clothes. Still looks much the same beyond that.

Role: Megami Subarashii six years ago while she was under the care of Deifilia Amarantha

Creator's comments: Megami in the past. Not really her own character. I guess Megami was a little quieter and less confident then. The darkness of her past was closer to her and she hadn't found a Chiharu yet. The name Deifilia gave to her, Ashlynn means "dream". Her assumed surname, Alvara, means either "elf warrior" or "universal protector" depending on whether you look at the Old English or German roots.

Lazarus Cain: ラザルス・カイン "Razarusu Kain"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 19

Japanese Voice: Rikiya Koyama (Starrk in Bleach, Kuze in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig, Kiritsugu in Fate/Stay Night)

English Voice: Steve Kramer (Kyoraku in Bleach, Shamisen in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Barragan in Bleach)

Age: 30 (born October 23, 2008 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'1"

Hair Color: black

Eye Color: light blue

Likes: Little Girls, God, Ultra-Violence, the Banjo and Bacon.

Dislikes: Sinners, Girls who aren't little, Most of his group, And anything sweet.

Appearance: He wears the traditional clothes of a Catholic Priest. He has greasy black hair, slicked back into a side parting and wears small rectangular glasses. He always carries a bible with him,

Personality: insane, ruthless, judgmental, adamant, violent.

Role: A Geass user serving Deifilia Amarantha; a former priest.

Creator's Comments: Lazarus Cain is a member of the yet un-named group of Geass users, who's ability is to induce hallucinations of his choosing. He was defrocked from the Catholic Church after some claims of abuse were made against him, but he still preaches in his own way. Cold, calculating and ruthless, he is a formidable opponent. Also insane. - Daiki_Kasho

Philip Malden Xander: フィリップ・マルデン・ザンダー "Firippu Maruden Zandaa"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 19

Japanese Voice: Minoru Shiraishi (himself in Lucky Star, Taniguchi in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Mi Nouruse in Kiddy Girl-and)

English Voice: Samuel Vincent (Lotton in Black Lagoon, Sidoh in Death Note, Long in Gundam 00)

Age: 28 (born March 20, 2010 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'10"

Hair Color: dark brown

Eye Color: green

Likes: Unicorns, his power, Deifilia, mints

Dislikes: Unicorns, pudding.

Appearance: average height man with dark brown hair, with heavy sideburns. Wears large, thick glasses and dresses in normal street clothes; typically a plaid shirt and blue jeans.

Role: A Geass user serving Deifilia Amarantha. A madman with a connection to Signa.

Personality: insane, random, bombastic.

Creator's comments: Philip is based on my "Phil the Time Wizard" concept, featured most prominently in my story "A Radiance to Dispel the Dark of Night" but first mentioned in the fifth chapter disclaimer for "To Mend a Wounded Heart". It's kind of hard to explain this character beyond that. Philip means "horse lover" in a wonderful twist of irony... Malden means "strong warrior's valley"... yes, he needed a badass middle name. The surname Xander is derived from Alexander meaning, "man's defender" or "warrior".

Deifilia Amarantha: デイフィリア・アマランサ "Deifiria Amaransa"

Class: 4

First appearance: Chapter 19

Japanese Voice: Rie Tanaka (Nix in Queen's Blade, Qi in CANAAN, Minna in Strike Witches)

English Voice: Bridget Hoffman (Ryoko in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Nia (adult) in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Yukari in Lucky Star)

Age: ? (born August 22)

Sex: female

Height: 5'10"

Hair Color: light blonde

Eye Color: soft green

Likes: beauty, women, sex, comedy, music, children, strawberries.

Dislikes: the world as it is, tragic stories, ugly things, meat of any kind.

Appearance: An intensely glamorous woman who appears to be in her late twenties or early thirties. She has long, slowing light blonde hair down to her back and a fairly dark tan. Quite full figured and well curved. Usually has a pleasant expression.

Personality: relaxed, intense, sadistic, manipulative, driven, nurturing.

Role: A Geass user of which little is known. Has a devious plan in motion for the world.

Creator's Comments: The story's primary antagonist. She has a pleasant and sometimes cheery attitude, but it belies her true, rather sadistic nature. It's not all a lie. She is honestly a well humored person who enjoys the company of others. Just what is she planning? Youll have to wait and see. Forgot this initially: Deifilia means "God's daughter" Amarantha is a flower name.

Adelaide mi Britannia: アデレード・ミ・ブリタニア Adereedo mi Buritania

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 20

Age: 21

Sex: female

Appearance: very pretty girl with long blonde hair, big blue eyes and generally a simple expression

Role: The second princess of Britannia. Jackie's older sister.

Creator's comments: Jackie's sister. Arienette's a snotty noble type. Jackie is a heartless snake. Adelaide on the other hand is just dumb. Really not much to say about her beyond that. Adelaide means "noble kind" The name was partly chosen based on its pet form, Ada, the name of a song by Indie Rock group The National.

Everett Coleridge: エヴァレット・コールリッジ Evaretto Koururijji

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 20

Age: 30

Sex: male

Appearance: a tall, muscular man with short, cropped hair and a muscular jaw.

Role: Adelaide's knight and husband.

Creator's comments: Adelaide's husband isn't much brighter than her. he's a very simple man. Physically strong, he's not a bad knight, just not the smartest. Everett means "brave, strong boar". Coleridge was a name I just picked from my stock surname list.

Hector Cosgrove: ヘクター・コスグローヴ. Hekutaa Kosugurouvu

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 20

Age: 52

Sex: male

Appearance: a large, well-built man with long, blonde-brown hair and beard. He's tan and a stern expression.

Role: Arienette's knight and husband. Jackie's father. A very accomplished and decorated knight.

Creator's comments: Hector isn't a very major character, but I think he's kind of cool. Unlike most of Jackie's family, he doesn't have so many negatives against him (just that he went after a girl fifteen years younger than him, and that's not really that bad, is it?). Hector means "Steadfast". Cosgrove means "victorious champion".

Aeolus mi Britannia: イオーラス・ミ・ブリタニア Iourasu mi Buritania

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 20

Age: 18

Sex: male

Appearance: a thin, handsome young man. Has mid length brown hair and glasses.

Role: Jackie's younger brother. First Prince of Britannia.

Creator's comments: Aeolus is a typical Britannia prince, sort of like a young Clovis. He has a definite ego to him, but is far below someone like Richer in terms of pure intelligence. Aeolus means "variable or changeable". It's also a Greek god name, suitably for an egotistical prince.

Lucrecia Harrison: ルクレシア・ハリスン "Rukureshia Harison"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 24 (shown shadowed in 19)

Japanese Voice: Kimiko Koyama (Komoe in To Aru Majutsu no Index, Fuuka in Negima)

English Voice: Alison Viktorin (Viola in Kiddy Grade, Amy in Burst Angel, Fuuka and Fumi in Negima)

Age: 12 (born July 7 , 2026 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 4'8"

Hair Color: silver

Eye Color: dark green

Likes - Her mistress, cute panties, sweets

Dislikes - People who try and take her away from her mistress, people seeing her panties, avocado.

Appearance: Here is the condensed initial description daiki-kasho gave me when drawing her up: "Konata [Izumi of Lucky Star]'s body type. Silver hair, staight until her knees, then flows out. Thigh-high black boots with full lace-up sides. Miniskirt, black with white trim. Sleeveless top, but with black gloves past the elbow. High necked collar, with white trim. a neck collar on top of this, with a ring on the front. About the diameter of a tennis ball. Several chains hanging off her clothes, but very fine ones, akin to wallet chains. Face usually lacks emotion, akin to Yuki [Nagato of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]." Just a little more descriptive then I usually get...

Personality: "tsundere", aggressive, affectionate, temperamental, shy, clumsy.

Role: A child Geass user fiercely loyal to Deifilia Amarantha.

Creator's Notes - Gothic-Lolita Tsundere Loli Masochist Lesbian. Need I say more? - Daiki-Kasho.

Eldridge Delaney: エルドリッジ・デラニー "Erudorijji Deranii"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 24

Japanese Voice: Masaaki Tsukada (Yamamoto in Bleach, the chief in Black Lagoon)

English Voice: William Frederick Knight (Aramaki in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Old man in Paranoia Agent)

Age: 68 (born January 5, 1970 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'9"

Hair Color: white

Eye Color: green

Likes: the occult, his visions, children, organ meats.

Dislikes: having to exert himself, loud things, bananas.

Appearance: A thin but not frail, older man with long white hair and a short, rough white beard. Typically dressed in a simple robe.

Personality: wise, quiet, observant, committed.

Role: "The Sage". An elderly Geass user instrumental to Defillia's plan.

Creator's Comments: The Sage is a key part of Defillia's group and plan, but as a character he's not a real standout among them. Though that's mostly because he's the typical wise old man between extreme, bombastic and noticeable characters like Lucrecia, Lazarus, Naida, Signa and Philip. Suitably, the name Eldridge means "sage ruler". Delaney means "dark challenger, offspring of the challenger, or from the elder tree grove".

Lilia Weinberg: リリア・ヴァインベルグ "Riria Vainberugu":

Class: 1

First appearance: Chapter 24

Age: 39

Sex: female

Appearance: a pretty woman. Looks rather like Astrid, only older. Long blonde hair, pale, fine features.

Role: Astrid's mother; Gino's wife.

Creator's comments: I wasn't sure whether to ever show Astrid's mother. In chapter 4, I decided her reaction would make the best for the chapter 24 cliffhanger, so I did. Lilia seems like a pleasant woman. She's agreeable, if ordinary. Though, unfortunately for Gino, she's no Kallen. Lilia is a derivative of the name Lily, a flower name.

Gudrun: グズルーン "Guzuruun"

Class: 1 (See the entry, "D.D." for more details)

First appearance: "Image of a Valkyrie"

Age: 26 at "death"

Sex: female

Appearance: She wasn't as well kept back then. Had less color to her, kept her hair shorter, wore a sadder expression.

Role: D.D. before her Code became active. A simple prostitute in a small Scandinavian village.

Creator's comments: D.D. is a wonderful character. Writing her as Gudrun just added even more depth. She has a rather dark past, really, I wanted to focus on that.

Barthram the Mad: 狂気のバルトラム (きょうきのバルトラム)

"Kyouki no Barutoramu"

Class: 1

First appearance: "Image of a Valkyrie"

Age: 38 at death

Sex: male

Appearance: A suave and handsome man. long brown hair, trimmed beard, distiguinshed features. Dressed in expensive, high quality armor with no helmet. Wears his prized sword on him at all time.

Role: A Viking prince considered insane by the world. Gudrun's lover.

Creator's comments: Barthram was invented as a device for Gudrun/D.D.. He was the one guy who understood her somewhat warped manner of thought. He's there to show that at one point D.D. had love and happiness, even if it didn't last.

Eilith vol Britannia (Ellie Grey): エイリス・ヴォル・ブリタニア "Eirisu Voru Buritania" (エリー・グレイ "Erii Gurei")

Class: 3

First appearance: Chapter 25

Japanese Voice: Eri Kitamura (Alleyne in Queen's Blade, Saya in Blood+, Eve in NEEDLESS).

English Voice: Philece Sampler (Barnette in Vandread, Hiyori in Lucky Star, Misao in Rurouni Kenshin)

Age: 20 (born February 4, 2019 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'8"

Hair Color: auburn

Eye Color: blue-gray

Likes: justice, strength, relaxing, rock music, casual foods

Dislikes: weakness, crime, kids, luxurious meals

Appearance: A beautiful young woman. Her auburn hair is fairly short and frames her face. Has a full, curved figure and an above average musculature.

Personality: straight-forward, honest, reserve, amiable, laid-back.

Role: A "lost" princess of Britannia. Callista's daughter by Charles. Ava and Jackie's aunt. Existence was masked and she was sent into hiding during the start of Nunnally's rule.

Creator's Comments: Eilith will probably be the last super significant character to be introduced. She's key now that she's here. She's fairly ordinary in terms of character, but as a princess, that's what makes her unique. I think she's likable. She'll have a fun arc. Eilith is a variant of the more common name Ailth, meaning "seasoned warrior". I chose Eilith over Elith, because with Ava, Astrid, Amelia, Arienette, Adelaide and Ashlynn, I thought I had enough female names that started with "A".

Alfred Selwyn: アルフレッド・セルウィン "Arufureddo Seruwin"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 25

Japanese Voice: Chikao Otsuka (Schenberg in Gundam 00, Gregor in Valkyria Chronicles, Arthur in Hellsing)

English Voice: Terrence Stone (Mayuri in Bleach, Tenebrae in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Mohs in Tales of the Abyss)

Age: 43 (born March 15, 1995 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'7"

Hair Color: white

Eye Color: blue

Likes: Deifilia, his practice, human anatomy, beautiful women, shrimp.

Dislikes: his frail body, Britannia, failure, death, sour things.

Appearance: Very frail and decrepit looking man. His body is warped and crippled. A large eyepatch covers the right side of his face. Walks with a limp, supported by a heavy cane.

Personality: humored, observant, helpful, twisted, creepy.

Role: A Britannian expatriate in the EU. A doctor specializing in alternative studies involving the human brain and nerves, but with a wide array of knowledge. Is loyal to Deifilia Amarantha.

Creator's Comments: Alfred is an interesting supporting character. He's the creepy old doctor type (though he's not that old). He plays a important role in Defillia's group and can be linked to a few other characters. Alfred means "elf or magical counsel".

Bernard Farris: バーナード・ファリス "Baanaado Farisu"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 24

Japanese Voice: Tomokazu Sugita (Kensei in Bleach, Kyon in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Noba in Bleach)

English Voice: Kyle Hebert (Fallman in Fullmetal Alchemist, Ganju in Bleach, Kamina in Guren Lagann)

Age: 23 (born August 7, 2015 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 6'4"

Hair Color: black

Eye Color: brown

Likes: just retribution, working out, bonds of friendship, protein rich foods

Dislikes: Regina Granville, confrontational/violent people, "weird" foods.

Appearance: a young man with a large, muscular build. medium dark skin tone, strong eyes. Hair is very short.

Personality: righteous, strict, faithful.

Role: A former agent of Absolution with a strong sense of justice. Saved by Deifilia and made into one of her brainwashed super soldiers.

Creator's Comments: Bernard and Lyall are obviously counterpoints of each other. Bernard is a very serious guy. He's also quite good natured which makes it difficult seeing him in Deifilia's grasp. Bernard means "strong, brave bear". Farris means "iron-strong". I guess you could say I wanted his name to reinforce his strength...

Lyall Gavin: ライアル・ギャヴィン "Raiaru Gyavin"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 23

Japanese Voice: Nobutoshi Canna (Lancer in Fate/Stay Night, Nnoitra in Bleach, Maxi in Soul Calibur)

English Voice: Grant George (Gilgamesh in Fate/Stay Night, Kira in Bleach, Mid-Boss in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness)

Age: 21 (born November 5, 2017 a.t.b.)

Sex: male

Height: 5'8"

Hair Color: red

Eye Color: black

Likes: conflict, girls, winning, hurting others, exotic foods.

Dislikes: Marcella Belita, Bernard Farris, people who tell him what to do, people who ignore him, "boring" foods

Appearance: A thin, young man. Wiry, athletic body. Mid-length hair. Intense, beast like eyes.

Personality: confrontational, violent, self-absorbed, direct, bold.

Role: A former agent of Absolution who joined just to anger his noble parents. Saved by Deifilia and made into one of her brainwashed super soldiers.

Creator's Comments: Rowena's male counterpart, maybe? He sort of comes of as a combination of her and Ulric. There was no real way to tell you then, but Lyall is the prisoner in Turn 23 who harasses Yasuko toward the end of her final scene. Lyall is an old Norse name meaning "wolf" but is typically a surname. Gavin of Scottish and Welsh origin and means "white falcon" and works as a surname or given name. "Gavin Lyall" might have made more sense as an actual name, but it didn't sound as cool to me.

Marcella Belita: マルチェッラ・ベリータ "Marucherra Beriita"

Class: 1 (See the entry, "Yasuko Tohdoh" for more details)

First appearance: chapter 24

Age: 17

Sex: female

Appearance: She hasn't changed much. Her hair has been cut to about half it's original length after some of it was burnt off. Much of her left arm has been replaced by machinery. She wears a visor across her eyes.

Role: Yasuko Tohdoh, saved from sure death by Deifilia and remade as a brainwashed super soldier.

Creator's comments: There was a point when I was actually going to kill Yasuko. I decided to create Marcella in the end instead, because Yasuko is so intertwined with many of the prominent characters and I didn't want her arc to just end like that. Marcella is a Latin name meaning "dedicated to Mars". Yep, Deifilia has our "peaceful child" now dedicated to the Roman God of war. Belita is just Deifilia fawning over the girl though; it means "little beauty".

Glen Esmay: グレン・エスメ "Guren Esume:

Class: 1 (See the entry, "Amelia Gottwald" for more details)

First appearance: chapter 28

Age: 16 (pretending to be 19)

Sex: female (pretending to be male)

Appearance: Still short. Mask has boyish features, is worn with a blonde, mid length, curly wig and blue contacts.

Role: Amelia Gottwald disguised as a male servant working for the Enneagram family.

Creator's comments: So yes, I wanted to do something different, something fun for the second half with Amelia. I remembered in R2 the episode where Sayoko disguises herself as Lelouch, and I was like, yeah, I could like completely disguise her. Though she's short, small and girlish, I decided it would be fun to have her dress as a guy. Esmay is a surname that is derived from the same root word as "Amy". So yeah, it really is an inversion of her previous alias.

Sophia Godwin: ソフィア・ゴドウィン "Sofia Godowin"

Class: 1 (See the entry, "Sayoko Shinozaki" for more details)

First appearance: chapter 29

Age: 45 (pretending to be 24)

Sex: female

Appearance: Sayoko has made herself look like a young Britannian woman. Blonde wig, one of those fancy masks over her face etc. She's ket in good shape over the years, so the illusion is effective.

Role: Sayoko Gottwald disguised as a servant working for Lloyd Asplund.

Creator's comments: Sayoko, like her daughter gets a disguise. Hers isn't so extreme, but Sophia does play a nice role. Working for Lloyd places her in a convenient place. It also lets me used Lloyd and Rayner more, which is great. With the name, I was trying to give something that suggested Sayoko Gottwald; I thought "Sophia Godwin" worked.

Alain Renard: アラン・ルナール "Aran Runaaru"

Class: 1 (See the entry, "Richter Novak" for more details)

First appearance: chapter 30

Age: 18

Sex: male

Appearance: [Unlike me who does everything half-assed, MissUzumakiHinata really likes in depth descriptions... here's what she gave me]:

Hair: Kind of similar to Lelouch's, it is turned blonde temporarily by non-permanent hair dye

Eyes: Green Coloured Contacts

Lower Face: Bandana which covers his mouth and nose (Coloured Black and accented with a deep dark red)

Torso: Wears a long black coat which reaches down to near his feet, it has a zip (technically down the centre but he usually leaves it completely zipped, otherwise he uses the buckles which are only on the torso part of his body and leaves the bottom half of the coat open exposing his trousers and making it like kind of like a cape) the Buckles are deep red and so is the zip area down the centre of the coat the bottom of his coat also is accented red at the end basically the outline of the coat has a border of red on it. The coat possesses long tight sleeves which gradually get more loose as the sleeves go past the elbows, the end of the sleeves have an intricate red pattern which goes all around the edge of the sleeve basically the pattern goes to the underside of the sleeve as well.

On this coat at the bottom on each side of the zipped centre there is a streak of red that travels up the coat to the collar, these streaks are start from the far edge of the coat, and when it gets to the waist they are only centimetres from the zip there are only two on the front which basically create a pattern where the red streaks have a buckles which connects the streaks together.

The shoulders are red

Legs: They are simple trousers, kind of tight and pitch black with a red steak running down both inner thigh's of the trousers and also on the outer part of the leg.

Feet: Normal Black Boots

Hands: Black gloves.

Role: Richter Novak in disguise, acting as an EU field commander in a favor for Deifilia Amarantha.

Creator's comments: [These are MissUzumakiHinata's comments on the outfit (again, not very brief); the other thing she came up with was the name, which is a French name; Alain meaning "handsome" and Renard meaning "cunning like a fox". We figured the somewhat vain side to Richter's character made such an alias appropriate]:

Why I chose his outfit like this: Well though I like masks I thought Richter should have something different than Lelouch's, he doesn't have a cape but compensates with a long coat which, if he buckles the torso and doesn't zip the coat makes it kind of like a cape, I also picked a Bandana since he has a distinctive face. The coloured contacts: I picked green to represent his envy, also green eyes are sexy and if you also change his eye colour hardly anyone will know its him.

I changed his hair colour and style for a reason, and that was to make him look better with the outfit, also if you consider it, who would guess that it was Richter after seeing what I have wrote about the outfit, the hair dye isn't permanent so he doesn't have to stay like that, and I thought Lelouch's hair was Sexy so I went with that. His old hairstyle also seemed like what a businessman would have and though that's not particularly bad for war but I like the sound of him looking and acting different whilst in his disguise.

Vivia Clarimond: ヴィヴィア・クラリモン "Vivia Kurarimon"

Class: 1

First appearance: "The Last Days of Innocence"

Age: 27 (six years prior to the story)

Sex: female

Appearance: She has mid-length spiked out black hair, brown eyes, a curved figure and is rather beautiful. Medium height. Pale skin. Wears a relaxed, inviting expression.

Role: A one time member of Deifilia's group whom Megami admired.

Creator's comments: Vivia's fun. I kind of see her as a sort of cross of Ava and Chiharu, who ended up being two of Megami's most important people. She of course has her own unique, defining characteristics as well though. As a character who will only show up in past extras, I wanted to make her likable. I think she's cute.

Elenie Pallas: エレニー・パラス "Erenii Parasu"

Class: 2

First appearance: Chapter 32

Japanese Voice: Kana Ueda (Rachel in BlazBlue, Rin in Fate/Stay Night, Kinon in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

English Voice: Mela Lee (Rachel in BlazBlue, Rin in Fate/Stay Night, Hiyori in Bleach)

Age: 31 (born February 28, 1987 a.t.b.)

Sex: female

Height: 5'7"

Hair Color: black

Eye Color: brown

Likes: Greek Mythology, art, knightmare frames, Deifilia Amarantha, candies

Dislikes: uncultured people, starchy foods

Appearance: a pretty woman, with a nice body, tan skin, mid-length hair. Wears thick glasses when working.

Personality: creative, enthusiastic, eager, loyal, romantic

Role: A knightmare frame developer of incredible skill. Loyal to Deifilia.

Creator's Comments: Elenie was created to serve a purpose. She was to be the face behind Deifilia's knightmares. I tried to make her somewhat interesting in the process. Rakshata's knightmares are her children, but Elenie sees hers as works of art. Suitable given their classical names. her own name is Greek. Elenie is a modern Greek variant of the name Helen. Pallas of course is linked with Pallas Athena.

Lenna Leander: レナ・レアンダー "Rena Reandaa"

Class: 1

First appearance: Turn 37

Age: 18 (deceased)

Sex: female

Appearance: cute in a simple sort of way. Brunette with a bob cut. Deep hazel eyes. Glasses. Medium sized breasts

Role: One of the initial Grail unit members.

Creator's comments: A member of a random group of late game characters introduced on a whim. She's the one that dies first, even though she's a young girl and even though shes' the first I characterize. Their names aren't particularly significant. I think I went for a strong name for her.

Vesta Arnette: ヴェスタ・アーネット

Class: 1

First appearance: Turn 37

Age: 25

Sex: female

Appearance: long blonde ponytail, permanent scowl, cold eyes and a generally rough look about her. Fairly tall. Above average breasts.

Role: One of the initial Grail unit members.

Creator's comments: A very soldierly woman. Abrasive. Makes her kind of interesting as one note static characters go. Again, don't remember where the name came from, but I like it.

Llewellyn Mara: ルウェリン・マーラ "Ruwerin Maara"

Class: 1

First appearance: Turn 37

Age: 19

Sex: male

Appearance: short brown hair, kind expression. medium build.

Role: One of the initial Grail unit members.

Creator's comments: A fairly average guy. Not much to say about him. He's the kind of character you'd expect me to kill right away. Don't remember where his name came from either.

Lin Yumin: 林 裕民 (リン ユーミン) "Rin Yuumin"

Class: 1

First appearance: Turn 37

Age: 42 (deceased)

Sex: male

Appearance: a strong looking man; rough around the edges. fairly short hair with short beard. Sharp eyes.

Role: A member of a Chinese Federation resistance group who aids the Kozuki twins

Creator's comments: A bit part player, designed to serve a purpose. His name was chosen from a list of Chinese names Rabukurafuto sent me many months ago.

Gao Ying: 高 英 (ガオ イン) "Gao In"

Class: 1

First appearance: Turn 37

Age: 29 (deceased)

Sex: female

Appearance:lose black ponytail, scowl on her face. Intense eyes. Athletic but curved figure.

Role: A member of a Chinese Federation resistance group who aids the Kozuki twins

Creator's comments: A brusque woman gun fighter. In my head when I wrote her I pictured Revy from Black Lagoon, even though she's a simple bit player. Her name was chosen the same way as her partner's.

Sophia Moore: ソフィア・ムーア "Sofia Muua"

Class: 1

First appearance: Turn 37

Age: 41 (at death 6 years prior to the events of thestory)

Sex: female

Appearance: (based on her appearance in Turn 37, in her early 20's rather than at her death) Looks much like Cynthia, but with much brighter longer blonde hair. A full figure, soft smile. Blue eyes.

Role: Niles' wife. Cynthia's mother. Commit suicide to escape from the atrocities she saw her husband commit for her sake.

Creator's comments: in her appearance in the Lazarus vision, she's presented as an ideal beauty. I likely won't show her elsewhere, but she is also a very good person. Pure.

F.F.: F.F. (エフ・ツー) Efu Tsuu

Class: 2

First appearance: Turn 45

Japanese Voice: Minako Kotobuki (Tsumugi in K-On!, Sen in Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls, Yako in Chu-Bra!)

Personality: idealist, giving, philosophical, loving, naive.

Role: An immortal who made a contract with Deifilia Amarantha and fell in love with her.

Creator's Comments: She was intended to be similar to Ava in a way, and completely different from D.D. I wanted her to be intriguing in her solitary appearance.

Siro Malas: シーロ・マラス "Shiiro Marasu"

Class: 1

First appearance: Turn 45

Age: 36 (at death)

Sex: male

Appearance: a tall, handsome, suave looking man. Tan, with dark hair and mustache.

Creator's comments: Nothing really to say here. Nothing really stayed with me.

Canon Character updates:

This section will be used to keep track of canon characters from Code Geass as they are in the current frame of this story. With appearances, I'm mostly gonna leave it up to you to imagine how they would now look. This is mostly to keep track of their current role in the scheme of things.

Kaname Ohgi:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 47

Role in CG:AotCT: Was President of the United States of Japan from 2024-2032. Now serves as a consultant and advisor to the current President, Kaguya Sumeragi. is Villetta's husband and Chiharu's father.

Comments: Ohgi obviously has a future in politics. The ending shows him donning a suit and becoming someone important in Japan. Him becoming President seems absolutely rational to me. I wanted Kaguya to be the current president though, so I put Ohgi's reign in the past. His daughters a big character so he gets some time, but he's not a major component to the story.

Kaguya Sumeragi:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 35

Role in CG:AotCT: Current President of The United States of Japan for two years at the start of the story.

Comments: I really love Kaguya. I wanted to give her an important job. President of Japan seemed perfect. It's hard picturing a mature Kaguya, but it's kind of fun. She'd be rather hot at 35. I picture her as being something of a tease. She's unmarried but that doesn't mean Kaguya's life is without love... Kaguya will have a mid-sized role in the story.

Milly Ashford:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 39

Role in CG:AotCT: The most popular and beloved news anchor in Britannia. Nina's wife. Miya's mother.

Comments: Milly has always been among my favorite Geass girls. I think I already explained the her and Nina things sufficiently in the Miya section. For her personally, the profession she jumps into is one that makes it easy to include her. it's easy to use news media to prompt events. As such, Milly has a decent role in this story.

Nunnally vi Britannia:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 35

Role in CG:AotCT: The 100th Imperial Ruler of Britannia. Ava's aunt.

Comments: The ending of R2 hints that Nunnally has become important. When I watched the scene, I immediately thought it was indicating she was the new Empress. I know it doesn't say anything explicitly, but I still went with that notion because I like it. Imagining adult Nunnally, she's really pretty. Nunnally's role won't be too significant in much of the story.

Gino Weinberg:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 37

Role in CG:AotCT: The knight of One. Astrid's father.

Comments: Gino's the best Round left standing. As I really wanted to have my own set of Rounds, that meant he inherited the top spot. It's a good position for him, really. Being Astrid's father automatically insures his importance. His wife, isn't anyone important. She may get named and introduced later, but then again maybe not. I know the way things were going in R2 there was a lot of hinting between him and Kallen. In this story, she turned down his proposal, mostly because he doesn't deserve her in my opinion (that kinda makes Kallen seem a little mean though).

Cornelia li Britannia:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: Would be 48, legally declared deceased at 42

Role in CG:AotCT: Ava's mother. Princess of Britannia

Comments: I hate myself. Cornelia's probably my second favorite Geass girl. Cornelia needed to be Ava's mother (Schneizel would have made no sense on multiple grounds, Nunnally wouldn't be believable and if she were some OCs kid, she'd be harder to connect with). For the story to work, Ava needed some angst. Cornelia could have provided too many of the answers for her if she were around anyway. As such, Cornelia had to be removed from the is integral to the story, but obviously won't have much screen-time.

Suzaku Kururugi:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 38

Role in CG:AotCT: the true face of Zero. Unmasked by Ava.

Comments: The end of Code Geass makes me feel a little sorry for Suzaku, odd considering I don't like him. My story has him after twenty years of living only as Zero, suddenly having his face shown to the world. That could prove an interesting story in itself, but honestly Suzaku won't play much of a role.

Schneizel el Britannia:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 48

Role in CG:AotCT: Ava's uncle. First prince and Prime Minister of Britannia.

Comments: Schneizel is a strange character to work with. Forced into a life of total subservience, something tells me he was actually grateful for Ava's Geass allowing him to finally break through. He will have a small role in this story.

Nonette Enneagram:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 48+ (whatever her age in CG:R2, known to be greater than Cornelia is + 20)

Role in CG:AotCT: Knight of Three. Margaret's mother.

Comments: A non speaking character apparently having a major role in some Geass video game, she is one of the only established Rounds we do not see being killed off. Apparently she has connections to Cornelia, which of course gives her connections to Ava. She's Margaret's mother, which makes her somewhat important automatically (not that Margaret is that important a character). She's apparently upbeat and cheerful, but Cornelia fears her; I'll try to work with that. her name is very much related to her old number in the Rounds, nine, but having seniority she couldn't keep that spot. Three is the square root of nine though...

Kyoshiro Tohdoh:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 58

Role in CG:AotCT: Father of Hiromi and Yasuko. The top Japanese General.

Comments: I can just see Tohdoh in his late fifties, having brought up his own family with Nagisa. he seems like he'd be a strict father... well at least with Hiromi... maybe not Yasuko. he's a big important general and the father of some big characters so it goes without saying he'll have a decent role.

Claudio Darlton:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 39-45ish, I'd estimate (again don't know the original age)

Role in CG:AotCT: Knight of Five. Family friend to Ava.

Comments: In case you have no clue who this guy is, he is the one of those five random character-less pretty boy characters (The Glaston Knights) introduced in the first season finale who didn't die. They were the adopted children of Andreas Darlton (guy with the scar who served Cornelia and died in the first season) and fought under Guilford. There are definite family connections between this guy and Ava, so when I decided to I wanted him to be a Rounds, I saw him immediately throwing his support behind Ava. His brothers were all killed by the Black Knights, so I imagine there's still a little resentment there.

Tianzi:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 33

Role in CG:AotCT: Empress of the Chinese Federation. Kaguya's dearest, closest friend.

Comments: It was actually kind of difficult to imagine a grown up Tianzi. When I imagined, I found she was really pretty. She's become a lot more confident and mature with age. Her and Kaguya have a very cute relationship; I'll let you take what you want from their closeness. Tianzi's real name is apparently Jiang Lihua. I have Kaguya calling her by it even though no one ever does as far as I can remember. Xingke is obviously dead by the way, no way I can see him surviving that long. Tianzi's important in this story, I guess.

Nagisa Chiba (now Nagisa Tohdoh):

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 50

Role in CG:AotCT: Yasuko and Hiromi and Katsuo's mother. Tohdoh's wife. General in the Japanese army.

Comments: It's actually a little more difficult to imagine Nagisa twenty years older as a mother than it is Tohdoh as a father. She also seems like she'd be a strict parent. Makes me think Hiromi and Yasuko would end up more like Devlin then their actual characters, but I guess maybe not. Nagisa will have a fair role.

Nina Einstein:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 38

Role in CG:AotCT: Miya's adopted mother. Milly's wife. A University professor and renowned scientific expert.

Comments: I love Nina. And not just because she provides the shows only canon yuri context with her overtly sexual feelings for Euphemia. She has a fascinating character arc, that shows a real level of growth. As she matures in the show, she also becomes hotter. I see this continuing. I can just see her as the popular thirty-something college professor. Despite my like of her, she won't be an incredibly big part of this story.

Villetta Nu:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 47

Role in CG:AotCT: Chiharu's mother. Ohgi's wife. A former Britannian ambassador to Japan

Comments: With the name thing, yes they are married. Villetta Ohgi just sounds really strange to me, and having her just permanently change her name to Chigusa seemed somewhat unreasonable. So I just have her keeping her old surname for the most part. Some women do that. Aside from that, not much to say about Villetta 20 years older. She's past the point where I can say in confidence how age has made her hotter. She's Chiharu's mother, which means she'll have a part to play, but overall she's not as big a player as her husband.

C.C.:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: whatever you want to say it is in R2 + 20.

Role in CG:AotCT: The simple house wife to a hermit living in the Chinese Federation.

Comments: I so wanted to give her a name. Just so you know, she's using her actual name at this point. But as I didn't have an official name, and I lacked the courage to assign her one, I ended up including her less than I intended to. I would have liked to shown more development than that she had learned how to make her own pizza (though that is an important development for her). Anyway, she'll unfortunately have almost no role in this story; sorry to disappoint.

Lelouch vi Britannia (now known as L.L.):

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 38; still 18 by appearance

Role in CG:AotCT: A hermit and immortal warlock living in the Chinese Federation.

Comments: I think I already explained myself in the author's note at the end of Turn 8. L.L. was obviously chosen because they're his actual initials (when using the name Lamperouge) almost went with R.R. though (because it would be R2). He won't be having much of any role in this story.

Zhou Xianglin:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: I have no clue what her original age was, and can't even make a good estimate. It's that + 20 though

Role in CG:AotCT: A General in the Chinese Federation army. Xuemei's mentor.

Comments: A minor character in the original Code Geass, who seemed to exist to be paired with Xingke if you somehow missed that he was totally into the loli, I mostly overlooked her until I decided I'd go ahead and use her here. She's fairly cute I guess, even if I really can't tell how old she is based on her appearance (seriously, it looks like she could be anywhere from her early 20s to her mid-30s). She's Xuemei's beloved mentor and the pilot of her own custom model, so she'll have a role.

Yoshitaka Minami:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 40s somewhere, if I had to guess

Role in CG:AotCT: A General in the Japanese army. Commander of Battleship Hikyuu

Comments: Its probably impossible to even notice this guy when watching Code Geass, but he's one of the core Black Knights group, originally of Ohgi's group. Apparently, though I wasn't paying attention to him (ever), he became the Captain of the Ikaruga in the end. So, that'll be his role still, commanding a battleship. I don't plan to use him much at all, but he'll probably get a few mentions here and there.

Gilbert G.P. Guilford:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 48

Role in CG:AotCT: Ava's father. A broken man.

Comments: I do not hate Guilford. Really, I don't. I'm okay with him having Cornelia. Even though I've written him in as a beaten down, heart-broken, nearly blind, refrain user, it's not out of spite. Ava needs her angst. She's a character who's gone astray. Saying she didn't deal with her mother's loss well wouldn't be enough alone; she needed to play witness to something maybe even sadder. In this story, Guilford in a way is a manifestation of all of Ava's worst fears. He himself will be used sparingly.

Rakshata Chawla:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 49.

Role in CG:AotCT: Influential Knightmare developer. Her designs are used by both Japan and the Federation.

Comments: It's somehow hard for me to imagine Rakshata at almost 50. She's a character I love, her personality is quite cool. She won't have much of a direct role in this story, but she'll be referenced constantly (kind of like the actual anime, I guess).

Hong Gu:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: I'd guess somewhere 60-75; can't tell for sure.

Role in CG:AotCT: A Federation General. Commander of the Huoyun

Comments: The middle-aged Chinese Federation guy with the beard, in case you don't recognize the name. He's not a character that sticks out to me and as such won't play avery big part. Since he's pretty old now he's moved to ship commander instead of Knightmare pilot.

Cecile Croomy:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 45

Role in CG:AotCT: Absolution's Blue mask.

Comments: Cecile's cute. I like her a lot. In my story, I wanted her to finally step out of Lloyd's shadow and make something of her own. So she joins Absolution. I think that's reasonable. She'll have a fair role.

Shinichiro Tamaki:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 45

Role in CG:AotCT: The owner of a bistro in Japan. His home is razed in the conquest of Japan.

Comments: Tamaki was always an amusing character in Code Geass. He was utterly useless, but was always good for some comic relief in his interactions with his best bud, Zero. Twenty years older, I don't see him having changed much. I haven't really decided how I'm going to use him, but right now it doesn't look like very much.

Ayame Futaba:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 38-45 by estimate

Role in CG:AotCT: Tamaki's wife. Her home is razed in the conquest of Japan.

Comments: That one little scene in the end led me to marry them. I thought, why the hell not. Of those three girls who volunteer and help aboard the Ikaruga, Ayame is the cute one (purple curls). She wasn't very noticeable in Code Geass, and that won't change here.

Kento Sugiyama:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 40's somewhere by estimate

Role in CG:AotCT: A moderately successful musical artist in Japan. His home is razed in the conquest of Japan.

Comments: Yes, he's a musician because there's a guitar next to his chair in one of the ending pictures. He's one of the core Black Knights originally of Ohgi's group if you've forgotten (the one with the sort of dark-green hair). Though as unnoticeable as Minami for me, he becomes more interesting here in that I have him leaving the military for a civilian life. Still, probably won't use him as much a some stand out characters.

Ichijiku Hinata:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 38-45 by estimate

Role in CG:AotCT: A citizen who is driven from her home in the conquest of Japan.

Comments: She's the one with the glasses and ponytail in case you get your Ikaruga volunteer girls confused. I honestly don't think she'll be doing much of anything in this story, but hey, she's there.

Mutsuki Minase:

Character class: 1

Age in CG:AotCT: 38-45 by estimate

Role in CG:AotCT: A citizen who is driven from her home in the conquest of Japan.

Comments: She has the headband and bead hair and is the one of the three girls whom no one is entirely sure what she actually operates aboard the Ikaruga. Like the other two, her role will be beyond minimal.

Kallen Kozuki:

Character class: 27

Age in CG:AotCT: A very sexy 38

Role in CG:AotCT: Incarnation of sexy awesomeness (and an important Japanese General and pilot of the infamous Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. Eight Elements).

Comments: I'm obsessed with this character. it's probably unhealthy. I'll try and stay back and approach her as I do everyone else, but do expect her to get more than her fair share of time in this. You don't know how much restraint it took to save her up for the twelfth chapter. At 38, Kallen would be hot. I don't have her paired with anyone because no one is worth. That kind of makes me feel bad because it makes me think she might be lonely. Anyway, Kallen is awesome. End of story.

Jeremiah Gottwald:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 49

Role in CG:AotCT: Founder of Absolution and it's Orange Mask. Amelia's father. Sayoko's husband.

Comments: My favorite male character in Code Geass. He's a crazy badass. He'll be quite important, being both Amelia's father and at the front of Absolution and all. Even at about fifty, he's still a badass cyborg.

Sayoko Shinozaki (now Sayoko Gottwald):

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 45

Role in CG:AotCT: Absolution's White mask; in charge of training agents. Amelia's mother. Jeremiah's wife.

Comments: I love Sayoko. Ninja plus maid: what's not to love? Some people may not think her relationship with Jeremiah a romantic one, but I see it. They're very similar. Mostly I just wanted Amelia's parents to be a badass cyborg and a ninja maid. I could have made Jeremiah chase the loli (Anya), but this seemed like a better solution. Sayoko will have a role.

Kanon Maldini:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 48

Role in CG:AotCT: Absolution's Silver mask; ibetrays the group in favor of Schneizel.

Comments: I honestly was never going to give Kanon much of a role at all. He's an easy to ignore character, who seemed to exist to tantalize the yaoi fans. But I wasn't going to have just any character disappear, so I wrote him into Absolution, and somehow he ended up with an even bigger part. I'm really kind of surprised.

Anya Alstreim:

Character class: 2

Age in CG:AotCT: 35

Role in CG:AotCT: Absolution's Pink mask; a charge living and working with Jeremiah.

Comments: Anya was adorable as a semi-loli character. Now she's in her mid thirties and I'm willing to wager pretty hot (I say that about all the former lolis though). The ending has her with Jeremiah, so that's where she's at, sort of his adopted daughter. She's changed a bit with time. She won't be as passive. I se this as a reasonable change.

Knightmare Frames:

Morganna: モルガナ "Morugana"

Pilot: Callista Blackwell

Designer: Rayner Wilde

Height: 13' 7"

Weight: 14.4 tons

Description: It's a heavy armored machine much like the Mordred. Black in color but with red effects running prominently down its middle. It's energy wings are bright red and made up of only two gigantic feathers. The head is topped with two horn like protrusions sweeping back. It's hands are large, as are its arms with a sharp blade running (which deploy as its scythe weapons) along the side of either. It's feet are heavy as is necessary to support it.

Weapons:

Hadron converger beam X 2: Located in palms. Fires a full intensity Hadron beam reduced to a radius of a mere four and a half inches, and intensified proportionately. The destructive energy of the Hadrons thus become a sort of ultra sharp laser that can cut through anything. It the beams touch the right spots.

Massive scythe-type slash harkens X 2: These run long the side of Morganna's arms in dormant state. They can then be popped up to extend out of the wrists to be used as Master Vibration Swords in close combat. They can also be used as harkens of course, fired for sweeping distance attacks.

Equipment:

Harken Boosters X 2

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 2: located in the shoulders.

Role: Callista's demonic knightmare. Used in Ava's ascent to the throne.

Creator's comments: Morganna is one of many variants of Morgan Le Fay, a key antagonist in Arthurian Legend (where most of the Britannian knightmare frames get their names), she of course isn't a knight like Lancelot or Galahad, but I didn't think that mattered exactly. For Callista's personal knightmare, it fit better than any other figure in my opinion. The Morganna itself is a good fit for her as well, dark and imposing with destructive weapons.

Viviane: ヴィヴィアン "Vivian"

Pilot: Astrid Weinberg

Designer: Rayner Wilde

Height: 16' 7"

Weight: 8.6 tons

Description: Very tall and thin, but with a large cockpit. It's golden in color with white effects highlighting the face and body. Unlike most knightmare frames it's shoulders are not bulky, but sleekly curved. It's head is also rounded. It's energy wing pack is fairly flat; the wings it creates are white and formed of seven feathers. it has long legs and arms.

Weapons:

Master Vibration Sword X 1: A small dagger like MVS held in the left hand

MVS launcher "bow" X 1: located in the right hand; an innovative system which launches long, thin MVSs at high velocities, able to penetrate most shields. Can be loaded with similarly shaped projectiles such as explosives.

Slash Harkens X 3: 1 located at around either elbow, another at the chest.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 3: one located on either forearm, another at the chest.

Role: Astrid's heavenly knightmare. Used in Ava's ascent to the throne. Creator's comments: Viviane is one of the more common names assigned the Lady of the Lake in Arthurian Mythology, an important character. Again it's not a knight, but I think its suitable for Astrid's personal Knightmare. Again, I tried to make the knightmare work for the pilot. As Astrid and Callista have seldom a thing in common, that led to very different models.

Tristan Aegis: トリスタン・イージス "Torisutan Iijisu"

Pilot: Gino Weinberg

Designer: Original designer of the Tristan with modifications made by Rakshata Chawla, Lloyd Asplund & Cecile Croomy

Height: 17'11"

Weight: 8.1 tons

Description: Very similar to Tristan Divider in terms of appearance. The only major difference is that the Air Glide System has been replaced with Energy Wings; it's wings are formed of three feathers each. In fortress mode, the energy wing feathers extend from the wing pack in the shape of six plane wings.

Weapons:

"Excalibur" Large Master Vibration Sword X 1: unlike with the Divider, the Aegis wields a refurbished, rejoined Excalibur, instead of oen split in two. It can re-split though.

Slash Harken formed Energy cannon X 1: same as with the Tristan

Slash Harkens X 2: 1 located at the same spots as on the Tristan.

Machine guns X 2: used in Fortress mode

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Harken Booster X 2

Fortress Mode

Role: Gino's personal knightmare

Creator's comments: As Knight of One, Gino needed the most advanced Knightmare he could get. Tristan thus needed an upgrade. Aegis refers to protection and support and stuff; it seems to suit the new Gino. Not much really to say. I had forgotten that Gino got Excalibur from Bismarck in the end of R2. I find it interesting that the name I picked for his daughter's knightmare was that of a character so closely associated with Excalibur. As of Turn 12, I realized the way I have the Aegis set up with just one big sword didn't work for the Tristan fighting style. As such, the Excalibur can now attach to the slash harkens and split apart like it did before. The energy cannon is built into the sword now.

Zangetsu Tensai: 斬月天才 (ざんげつてんさい) "Zangetsu Tensai"

Pilot: Kyoshiro Tohdoh

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 15'4"

Weight: 9.0 tons

Description: Very similar to the original Zangetsu in terms of appearance. The only major difference is that the Air Glide System has been replaced with Energy Wings; it's wings are quite large, formed of four large feathers each.

Weapons:

Seidoutou X 1

Slash Harkens X 1: located at the same spots as on the Zangetsu.

Machine guns X 2: chest mounted like with the original

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave surger-based shield

Role: Tohdoh's personal knightmare

Creator's comments: Much like Gino, Tohdoh's position demanded he get a more advanced knightmare. Tensai means any number of things from what I can tell; the kanji Rabukurafuto went with has it meaning "genius", which is pretty cool, though honestly it wasn't meaning that led me to the name. I was actually originally going to call it Tensai Zangetsu, which would be fun for the Bleach fans (as it would be just one letter away from a certain someone's Bankai), but I realized that improved Japanese knightmare versions all had words added after the original names rather than before (Akatsuki Jikisanshiyo, Burai Kai, Guren Kashoshiki, etc), so I changed it at the last minute to keep with the pattern, effectively eliminating the allusion, unfortunately.

Dagonet: ダゴネット "Dagonetto"

Pilot: Ulric Cross

Designer: Rayner Wilde

Height: 8' 3"

Weight: 4.7 tons

Description: A very small knightmare frame; only just two feet taller than Ulric himself. Has a very sleek, compact design with angular plating. Two curved horns extend from it's head. Blue with red effects. It's energy wings, are very short and sort of rounded, extending just to the shoulders. The wings are made up of just three feathers.

Weapons:

Master Vibration Sword X 2: long, heavily curved blades, held outwards meant to reap through knightmares with little resistance.

Slash Harkens X 9: 1 at either elbow, 1 at either knee, 1 at either shoulder, 1 in either of the horns, one hidden in right underarm.

Hidden mini blaster X 1: hidden in the left underarm. Fairly weak blaster; used for surprise attacks.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Harken Boosters X 9

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 2: small; one located on either forearm

Role: Ulric's high offense, high speed knightmare.

Creator's comments: Dagonet is the name of King Arthur's jester, who is knighted as a joke. What you take from that in regards to Ulric is up to you. Yet again, I tried my best to make the knightmare fit Ulric. It's all offense and speed, no defense. Agile, light-weight and ready to, as Ulric would probably say "kick some ass."

Agravain: アグラヴェイン "Aguravein"

Pilot: Niles Moore

Designer: Rayner Wilde

Height: 34' 3"

Weight: 41.7 tons

Description: An enormous, bulking knightmare. It's dark blue in color, with gold effects. it's energy wings are also gold, and are suitably massive to support it, each one composed of around twenty feathers. it has very large shoulders, which house it's missile launchers, and is generally heavily plated all around. It's head resembled a knight's helmet, with a single short horn at its top. In it's fortress mode it becomes a bulky bomber plane with an aerodynamic shape.

Weapons:

Handheld mini Hadron Blaster X 2: despite the name, fairly large; one in either hand.

Slash Harkens X 15: 4 in either arm, 2 in either leg, 3 in chest.

Shoulder mounted missile launcher X 2: appears as massive bulk on the shoulder that gives Agravain its appearance. Each one can fire fifteen missiles at once. Still usable in fortress mode

Fire Blast Bombs: deployable only in fortress mode. A high power explosive with a large blast radius.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Harken Boosters X 15

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 4: very large; one at each limb

Fortress mode

Role: Niles' high offense, high defense knightmare.

Creator's comments: Agravain was a character of interest when I was doing my Arthurian research. He's become a hardcore villain as the Legends have evolved, but originally was not such an evil character. i thought that suited what I was trying for with Niles, so I went with it. Agravain itself, was intended to be the polar opposite of the Dagonet; it's just as powerful but hugely immobile and has beyond superior defense. I gave it a fortress mode, because honestly, it's total lack of any real mobility, made it seem a little weak in my opinion, even if it is a hulking juggernaut with extraordinary power.

Lamorak: ラモラック "Ramorakku"

Pilot: Nonette Enneagram

Designer: Lloyd Asplund & Cecile Croomy

Height: 14' 1"

Weight: 9.3 tons

Description: Red with white effects and white wings composed of nine small feathers each. It has a very sturdy look to it, but is not overly bulky. It has a head shaped like a rounded knight's helmet.

Weapons:

Master Vibration Sword Battle Axe X 1: the Lamorak's main weapon. a large, heavy MVS shaped like an axe.

Slash Harkens X 3: 2 in left arm, one in right.

Master Vibration Sword Knife X 1: concealed backup weapon in case axe is destroyed

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 2; one located on either forearm

Role: Nonette's well-rounded Knightmare

Creator's comments: Lamorak is often said to King Arthur's third best knight, yet for whatever reason, never became a popular character. That's Nonette in essence. I like the idea of an axe-wielding knightmare, especially one that can swing it around ruthlessly. Overall though, Lamorak was created just because the Knight of Three needs a good knightmare.

Tianlong: 天龍 (ティエンロン) "Tienron"

Pilot: Hu Xuemei

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 15' 3"

Weight: 8.9 tons

Description: a very elegant looking knightmare. It's main color is white and it's secondary is pink. It's pink wings have five feathers each. It is thin and sleekly curved. It has hair like extensions running down it's back like Zangetsu, these pink in color.

Weapons:

Long Sword X 1: a large straight, shimmering sword, Tianlong's main weapon. Held in it's right hand

Slash Harkens X 3: all three in the left hand.

Short sword X 1: back up weapon, concealed.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Harken Boosters X 3

Radiant wave-surger shield

Role: Xuemei's elegant custom knightmare.

Creator's comments: Tianlong means "celestial dragon". That's pretty cool. The knightmare itself was designed to suit the pilot. It's a speedy acrobatic sword fighter machine. It does lack range attacks though.

Shenlong: 神龍 (シェンロン) Shenron

Pilot: Zhou Xianglin

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 13' 7"

Weight: 8.8 tons

Description: Similar in appearance to the Tianlong but with more bulk. it's red in color, with pink highlights and wings. The wings have four feathers. It has the same hair like extensions as its counterpart.

Weapons:

mini Baryon cannon X 2: large cannons held in either hand. Powerful

Slash Harkens X 2: 1 in either arm

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave-surger shield

Role: Xianglin's powerful custom knightmare.

Creator's comments: Shenlong means "Divine dragon" That's also pretty cool. I more designed this one as a compliment to the Tianlong than for Xianglin herself. It's all range attacks, and heavier instead of acrobatic. It's a good balancing machine for Xuemei.

Huabing: 華兵 (ファビン) "Fabin"

Pilot: mass production

Designer: Chinese Federation

Height: 15' 7"

Weight: 8.7 tons

Description: generally dark green. A fairly bulky sort of machine, with a large torso and smaller arms and legs, and a small rounded head. It has an air glide wing system.

Machine gun X 2: locate on under arms

cannon X 2: part of arms.

shrot sword X 1

slash harken X 1: left hand

Equipment:

Air glide wing system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Role: current Federation mass production model.

Creator's comments: Huabing means "illustrious soldier". It's a good name for a mass production model. The Huabing exists because I thought still using the Gun-Ru would be archaic.

Jinketsu: 人傑 (じんけつ) "Jinketsu"

Pilot: Chiharu Ohgi

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 15' 11"

Weight: 9.2 tons

Description: A mid-weight, balanced knightmare frames. It's main color is silver. It has black, three-feathered wings and black highlights. It's head is helmet shaped with two short triangular horns.

Weapons:

large polearm X 1: a polearm with a long staff and fairly long, thick blade. Jinketsu's main weapon.

Slash Harkens X 3: two in right hand, one in left.

Custom hand gun X 1: usually concealed unless Chiharu needs it.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave-surger shield

Role: Chiharu's balanced knightmare.

Creator's comments: Jinketsu means something to the effect of "great man" or "hero". Suitable for the "traditional hero" of the story, Chiharu. It wields a spear, because girls who wield spears are always hot. That's almost a fact.

Hokurei: 北嶺 (ほくれい) "Hokurei"

Pilot: Hiromi Tohdoh

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 13' 10"

Weight: 9.3 tons

Description: Also mid-weight, Hokurei has just a bit more armor than Jinketsu but is shorter. It's main color is dark green. It has yellow, six-feathered wings and yellow highlights. It's head is fairly square in shape, with a single long horn in the back

Weapons:

Heavy Radian Wave-surger rifle X 1: a powerful rifle with a blast based on the Guren's range blasts. Like with the guren, it has a long range and area scatter settings. It's not as powerful though.

Slash Harkens X 2: one in either hand.

Fork Knife X 1

Equipment:

Massive Guardian Shield X 1: A very large handheld shield, as tall as the Hokurei. It can generate a Radiant Wave-surger shield of its own over a very large radius.

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave-surger shield

Role: Hiromi's defensive knightmare

Creator's comments: Hokurei means "northern mountain", which fits the defensive machine. It's power lies in it's protective capabilities, though it's gun is quite powerful. It's not a very fast machine though, and the gun's accuracy is only average. It suits Hiromi; a machine for supporting and defending, that will seldom be the star itself.

Galahad Renascence: ギャラハッド・ルネッサンス "Gyarahaddo Runessansu"

Pilot: Hildegarde Waldstein

Designer: Original designer of Galahad, with modifications made by Lloyd Asplund & Cecile Croomy

Height: 23' 7"

Weight: 17.4 tons

Description: It's esentially the same as Bismarck's Galahad with a few modifications. most prominent is that the float system ahs been replayed by an energy wing system (with five feathered wings) and Excalibur has been replaced with a giant red-hilted sword. A few additional plates and effects have been added to the legs and chest as well.

Weapons:

Red-Hilted Master Blade X 1 - a gargantuan blade, comparable in every way to her father's Excalibur.

Slash Harkens X 10: in all the same places as Galahad

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Role: Hildegarde's imposing knightmare, rebuilt from the designs of her father's.

Creator's comments: I was unsure what route to take with Hildegarde's knightmare. I was initially going to make it completely original, but it's actually kind of difficult to think p knightmares that would be cool and effective. I liked Bismarck's Galahad, so I thought to revive it. Suitably, Renascence means "the revival of something that has been dormant".

Constantine: コンスタンティン "Konsutantin"

Pilot: Damian Marsh

Designer: Lloyd Asplund & Cecile Croomy

Height: 15' 7"

Weight: 11.2 tons

Description: It is purple and gold in color, with gold, seven pointed wings. It's a large machine, with a significant amount of armor.

Weapons:

King Lance X 1 - a very large lance, similar in shape to that used by a Gloucester. Unlike those lances, this one had the unique ability to act as a powerful fire arm, firing a compressed energy burst that can prove most destructive.

King "Shield" X 1 - a weapon shaped like a shield. it has six large spike in the shape of a cross at the front of it. These are actually slash harkens, but can be used to ram targets as well should the lance ever be lost. It can be used to deflect some attacks.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 1 - located in chest.

Role: Damian's regal, but strangely deceptive knightmare.

Creator's comments: Constantine is the name of the Knight of the Round table who becomes king after Arthur. Damian has a sort of regal air about him, so it seemed like a loose fit. The machine is a powerful one, with all around impressive abilities, and some tricks to it.

Onryou: 怨霊 (おんりょう) "Onryou"

Pilot: Megami Subarashii

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 10' 5"

Weight: 8.1 tons

Description: A thin machine with long arms. It is black and pale green in color, with four pointed , very large pale green wings. it's head has two large horns on top of it. It is lightly armored.

Weapons:

Radiant-wave shooter - the main-weapon. Based off the Guren's radiant-wave surger weaponry. Unlike Hokurei's rifle, the power has been significantly reduced in favor of being able to deliver very quick, precision shots.

Hadron cannon X 1 - at the center of the Onryou. It's ultimate weapon. it's power is set higher than the machine can handle. A single shot all but depletes Onryou's energy reserve

Gefjun jammer launcher - a sort of grenade-launcher like weapon that shoots out small discs, that attach to enemy units and start a small scale Gefjun reaction, which thought it can't fully stop an advanced unit, can buy a few seconds.

Equipment:

Spirit Synchronizer - an experimental system implemented in the Onryou meant to provide a physical connection between pilot and machine, allowing for ease of control. It is based on the neural system found in the Siegried though it is not the only means of control. Happens to allow Onryou to become invisible in conjunction with Megami's Geass.

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave-surger based shield

Role: Megami's stolen experimental knightmare.

Creator's comments: I was unsure about whether to add Onryou here after Turn 10 or Turn 11. I decided earlier because, my requirement had been met; it had been named and used in that chapter (though not at the same time). Onryou means "vengeful ghost"; suitable for Megami. Onryou itself is a cool machine, with lots of fun weapons.

Dongfeng: 東風 (ドンフン) "Donfun"

Pilot: Wu Chaowei

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 14' 8"

Weight: 7.8 tons

Description: An agile, lightweight model. It is mainly white, with green (six feathered) wings and plates. It have two very thick arms which can be split to give it four arms, but the arms are flimsier in this state. Overall sleek, with a lot of curved plates

Weapons:

Custom hand gun X 4 - more powerful than typical custom hand guns.

slash harken X 4 - 1 at the back of each hand in four armed state

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave-surger based shield

detaching arms

Role: Chaowei's flashy, gun-toting knightmare.

Creator's comments: The double gun thing seemed cool, but for Chaowei, who loves lots of flashiness, I thought I'd bring it up a level and give it four guns. That makes Dongfeng fairly unique. Dongfeng means "eastern wind" in Chinese. The machine itself isn't very traditionally Eastern, so I suppose it's kind of ironic. it is a cool name though, with some flash to it, so I think Chaowei would like it.

Lionel: ライオネル "Raioneru"

Pilot: Claudio Darlton

Designer: Lloyd Asplund & Rayner Wilde

Height: 13' 4"

Weight: 10.1 tons

Description: It's a fairly bulky machine with a dark gray and green color scheme, and green four pointed wings. It has the look of a traditional heavily armored knight with it's blocky gray armor. It has 3 spikes at either shoulder.

Weapons:

Master Hadron converger rifle X 1 - a very large rifle held in the right hand. Has numerous scopes built in to ensure a shot even over an an incredible range. The trajectory of the blast can even be set. The blast itself is as powerful as the Morganna's beam weapons. It's just allowed to get much more accurate.

slash harkens X 6 - 3 at either shoulder, large spikes.

custom hand gun - used as a back up weapon.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 1 - located in left arm.

Role: Claudio's high-accuracy sniper unit.

Creator's comments: Sir Lionel seemed like an interesting Knight of the Round table. His father and brother were also knights (as were a couple cousins) and he has a considerable darkness to his character. That seemed relevant to Claudio as I'm capturing him. The Lionel itself is pretty cool I guess. Snipers are cool.

Lucan: ルーカン "Ruukan"

Pilot: Devlin Granville

Designer: Lloyd Asplund & Rayner Wilde

Height: 14' 10"

Weight: 12.2 tons

Description: A very balanced model. Green in color with purple, seven pointed wings and a few purple plates. Has a decent amount of armor and an overall knightly appearance.

Weapons:

Master vibration sword - a very strong, sturdy sword held in the right hand

custom hand gun - a better than average custom hand gun held in the left hand.

slash harkens X 2 - 1 at either forearm.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 4 - 1 at either arm, 1 at either knee.

Role: Devlin's balanced knightmare. Destroyed by Kallen Kozuki.

Creator's comments: Sir Lucan was King Arthur's butler. Though that meant something different when the legends were written, the modern image of a butler sort of fits Devlin with his stoic attitude. Lucan is also Bedivere's brother, which was definitely a factor in the deciding. Ironically, Lucan is almost always one of the last knights to die in the legends. Things didn't work out so well with Devlin. Lucan isn't that interesting a unit, but I knew it was going to get destroyed, so I questioned why make it cool.

Bedivere: ベディヴィエール "Bedivieeru"

Pilot: Regina Granville

Designer: Lloyd Asplund & Rayner Wilde

Height: 14' 10"

Weight: 12.2 tons

Description: A very balanced model. Purple in color with Green, seven pointed wings and a few green plates. Has a decent amount of armor and an overall knightly appearance.

Weapons:

Master vibration sword - a better than average sword held in the left hand

custom hand gun - a very strong custom hand gun held in the right hand.

slash harkens X 2 - 1 at either forearm.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 4 - 1 at either arm, 1 at either knee.

Role: Regina's balanced knightmare.

Creator's comments: Sir Bedivere is Sir Lucan's brother and King Arthur's marshal. He is a also a fairly famous character in Arthurian legend, usually being the one guy who survives the final battle and casts Excalibur back into the lake. I'm not sure how that will relate to Regina. I mostly picked the name because of the sibling thing. Bedivere the knightmare is rather cheaply a copy of the Lucan, but as only one of them will live to see a second battle I suppose that's okay.

Vincent Aether: ヴィンセント・エーテル "Visento Eeteru"

Pilot: mass production

Designer: Cecile Croomy with some input by Nina Einstein

Height: 14' 5"

Weight: 7.4 tons

Description: Looks essentially like a Vincent Ward but with energy wings, which are made of two solid panes each.

Weapons:

VARIS Rifle - similar to the Lancelot's

Master vibration sword X 2- actually sword shaped like the Lancelot's

slash harkens X 2

stun tonfa X 2

Equipment:

simplified Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 2 - 1 at either arm

Role: an advanced mass production unit perfected by Absolution

Creator's comments: With Cecile taking the lead designer spot for Absolution, I felt obligated to do a mass production VIncent with energy wings. She invented the energy wing system if you remember, so she'd be able to simplify them and make them affordable reproduce in mass production. Aether was chosen as the add-on word because I think the wings have an ethereal quality. It also just sounds cool.

Bercilak: ベルシラック "Berushirakku"

Pilot: Green (Alastair Kennard)

Designer: Cecile Croomy with some input by Nina Einstein

Height: 13' 9"

Weight: 11.5 tons

Description: It's all green mostly dark green but with pale 12 pointed wings and effects. Heavily armored. it's head looks like a dual horned bucket helmet.

Weapons:

Heavy VARIS Rifle - just slightly below the specs of the Super VARIS used by the ALbion

Master vibration sword Halberd X 1- the main weapon, can be used to lunge or slash.

slash harkens X 4 - two in either arm.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 1 - very large, powerful, in chest.

Role: The Knightmare piloted by Absolution's Green Mask.

Creator's comments: Bercilak is a name sometimes used for the Character of The Green Knight in Arthurian Legend. I assume you can sort of see why it was picked without me having to explain it... I wanted Cecile's knightmares to be cool because she's sexy, but Bercilak is a little dull to me. I suppose I need her to make something for a pilot more interesting.

Hiodoshi: 緋縅 (ひおどし) Hiodoshi

Pilot: Katsue and Katsumi Kozuki

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 24' 7"

Weight: 25.8 tons

Description: Almost entirely red. Has a few white effects on the chest and head. Red six pointed wings. Had an overall demonic look to it, heightened by its large claws.

Weapons:

Crimson claw X 2 - powerful claw weapons. can be used for claw attacks or for the intense beams that come from each finger. The claws can alos lock together for a special wave pulse attack.

missile launchers X 2 - shoulder mounted

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave-surger based shield

Role: The high power Knightmare hijacked by Kallen's twin daughters.

Creator's comments: With Hiodoshi, I wanted something similar in aesthetic to Guren. I also wanted it to be its own distinct machine though. I think it turned out an interesting enough unit. Hiodoshi refers to some sort of red armor or something. I don't know. It's another one of those weird words that stuck out to me when I was looking through an online English-Japanese dictionary thing.

Chernobog: チェルノボグ "Cherunobogu"

Pilot: Cesia Moreva

Designer: EU R & D team

Height: 15' 4"

Weight: 10.0 tons

Description: Mostly black. Purple wings and minimal highlights to the chest. Demonic dual horned head. Five pronged claw for right arm.

Weapons:

Master Vibration sword X 1 - a very long, thin MVS held in left hand.

Five-pronged slash-harken claw - main weapon, made up of five MVS's. Used for cutting. Five blades are all slash harkens.

slash harkens X 4 - two in either arm.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 2, located in the knees.

Role: The demonic knightmare of EU champion Cesia Moreva.

Creator's comments: Chernobog is a god of unknown importance or purpose in Slavic mythology. As the name does mean "Black God" it is generally assumed he is evil or something. Obviously I wanted the EU knightmares to sort of pull from the legends surrounding whatever ethnicity or nationality I used I made each champion a part of. Mostly due to video games, Chernobog, was the most familiar Slavic deity to me, so I went with it.

Kay: ケイ "Kei"

Pilot: Rowena Winfield

Designer: Rayner Wilde and Lloyd Asplund

Height: 12' 11"

Weight: 9.8 tons

Description: Gold in color but with black effects and wings. very curved look to it. sleek but deceptively well armored.

Weapons:

gun arm X 1 - a powerful blaster built into the left hand.

sword arm X 1- MVS built into the right hand

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 3 - one in either shoulder and one in chest.

Role: The well-rounded knightmare of Rowena Winfield

Creator's comments: I was looking around on wikipedia for a character in Arthurian legend that would be a good fit for her. When I found the page for Sir Kay I was completely sold. Apparently, Kay, Arthur's foster-brother, is used mostly as a foil character for the others and has been made to be "more or less an incompetent braggart" in some of the retellings of the story. Natural fit for Rowena.

Roland: ローラン "Rouran"

Pilot: Edouard Valentin

Designer: EU R & D team

Height: 10' 9"

Weight: 8.7 tons

Description: Mostly red. Has a white cross across the chest and some other white effects (wings are also white). Knightly helmet shaped head. Curved plates.

Weapons:

Master Vibration sword "Durendal" X 1 - by appearance a simple MVS. A large sustained beam can be projected from the blade for maximum damage.

slash harkens X 2 - one in either arm.

Equipment:

hand held shield - held in left hand; painted with a white cross

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 1, located in shield.

Role: The knightly knightmare of EU champion Edouard Valentin.

Creator's comments: It's a lot harder to find characters in the Matter of France then the Matter of Britain. Roland is the most famous and really one of the few lasting character. So, yeah, he ended up being the obvious pick. Roland's character is a bit of a far cry from Edouard himself, but I kind of like the ironic fit.

Bors: ボールス Bourusu

Pilot: Brown (Larkin Ellison)

Designer: Cecile Croomy with some input by Nina Einstein

Height: 15' 9"

Weight: 12.1 tons

Description: A large dark brown knightmare with brown wings. Very heavy armor and a single large spike on either shoulder

Weapons:

Master vibration Axe "Destroyer" X 1 - A very large, wide-bladed axe wielded by two hands. The thick, heavy beam of the axe contains a secret rocket launcher.

Slash harkens X 2 - massive shoulder spikes.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 2 - one in either shoulder.

Role: The well-rounded knightmare of Rowena Winfield

Creator's comments: Bors was selected for Larkin pretty much at random. The character really has nothing to do with Larkin, I just thought the name fit the sort of heavy axe unit I wanted for him.

Golem: ゴーレム Gouremu

Pilot: Elischa Mayer

Designer: EU R & D team

Height: 15' 1"

Weight: 14.9 tons

Description: Mostly yellow. Has has green wings and green and brown effects. Has heavy, bulky armor.

Weapons:

Hammer X 1 - primary weapon; a rare blunt weapon used in knightmare combat. It can be swung around with real power, bending plates and breaking shields

flame thrower X 1 - secondary weapon; very high powered, reaching incredible heats. Can melt plate or seep in through cracks and kill the pilot.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 2 in shoulders.

Role: The punishing knightmare of EU champion Elischa Mayer.

Creator's comments: I know the golem is a being of Jewish Czech mythology rather than Jewish German, which I said Elischa was, but I thought it was close enough. It's a recognizable character anyway. The Goem was an interesting machine to design, uses some weapons that are quite different from the usual fare.

Bellona: ベッローナ "Berrouna"

Pilot: Valeria Giullare

Designer: EU R & D team

Height: 15' 5"

Weight: 11.5 tons

Description: Mostly orange. Has has red wings and red and gray effects. Has a sleek, agile build.

Weapons:

missile launcher X 1 - fires out homing missiles.

rapid-fire cannon X 1 - a blaster that can shoot one shot after another rapidly, leading to massive damage.

slash-harkens X 2 - at elbows

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous X 1 in chest.

Role: The destructive knightmare of EU champion Valeria Giullare

Creator's comments: With Valeria I really had the most options, considering all the Roman stuff. I settled on Bellona, a purely Roman goddess (no Greek counterpart) of war. This fits Valeria well I think.

Panzer-Kugelblitz: パンツァー=クーゲルブリッツ "Pantsaa Kuugeruburittsu"

Pilot: mass production

Designer: EU R & D team

Height: 14 4"

Weight: 11.2 tons

Description: usually gray. borrows basic design elements from the Panzer-Hummel. Has been made a bit more sleek and similar to Britannian models. Still possesses one auto-cannon, but now also has a free fully functional arm.

Weapons:

machine guns X 2 - hip mounted.

auto-cannon X 1 - built into left arm

slash-harkens X 2 - chest mounted.

master vibration sword X 1 - can be concealed at the hip; to be used for close combat.

custom hand gun X 1 - used instead of MVS for ranged attacks.

Equipment:

Air glide wing system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Role: The fairly high spec EU mass production model.

Creator's comments: The original EU production line machine was created by combining the name of two WW II German tanks. I thought I'd go the same route. Kugelblitz was an armored anti-aircraft model. The name means "ball lightning". Sounded kind of cool, I thought.

Mordred Camlann: モルドレッド・カムラン "Morudoreddo Kamuran"

Pilot: Pink (Anya Alstreim)

Designer: Based on the designs of the original Mordred. Cecile Croomy with some input by Nina Einstein

Height: 15' 5"

Weight: 11.0 tons

Description: Look very much like Mordred. It's pink now, with purple six-point energy wings and some purple and black effects.

Weapons:

Stark Hadron Cannon × 4

Missile Launchers

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Role: The powerful knightmare of Anya Alstreim

Creator's comments: Camlann is of course the final battle in Arthurian Legend where Sir Mordred kills King Arthur. As Anya is now a terrorist out for the Empress' head, I found it suitable that she now represents the villainous Mordred rather than the knightly one.

Ywain: ユーウェイン "Yuuwein"

Pilot: Margaret Enneagram

Designer: Rayner Wilde and Lloyd Asplund

Height: 12' 2"

Weight: 9.3 tons

Description: Equal parts red, purple and gold. Wings are gold. Swift angular design.

Weapons:

MVS broadsword X 2 - can be sheathed at hips

VARIS rifles X 2 - worn at hips and can be used instead of swords.

slash harkens X 2 - on in either hand. thick cabled. contains gefjun technology.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Geass neural interface - developed on short notice based on Code-R documents acquired from Schneizel. Allows Margaret to apply Geass to Ywain so as she can match her opponent's skill.

Role: The swift, aggressive knightmare of Margaret Enneagram.

Creator's comments: Ywain has no relation to Lamorak, before you ask (He's actually Morganna's son in most legends). He's a popular character, based on a medieval king. There's also a separate character in the legends known as Ywain the Bastard (and remember that we don't know who Margaret's father is). Margaret would probably thus be mad if she ever researched her machine's name.

Dinadan: ディナダン Dinadan

Pilot: Miya Ashford

Designer: Cecile Croomy and Nina Einstein

Height: 11' 1"

Weight: 9.0 tons

Description: Equal parts green and blue with turquoise tri-pointed wings; lightweight, but with large shoulders. Has a very angular design to it.

Weapons:

shoulder-mounted missile launchers X 2

MVS short blades X 2 - very dynamic and sharp to make up for short length.

slash harkens X 2 - on in either arm.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Role: The bombastic knightmare of Miya Ashford.

Creator's comments: Dinadan is the most well-humored and sociable of Arthur's knight. I thought that set well with Miya's cheery innocence. The unit itself achieves an interesting balance.

Palamedes: パラメデス Paramedesu

Pilot: Cynthia Moore

Designer: Cecile Croomy with some input from Nina Einstein

Height: 14' 9"

Weight: 11.6 tons

Description: Mostly orange in color with gold effects and (seven pointed) wings. has a fair amount of bulk, but is still agile. Plates are curved.

Weapons:

mini Hadron cannon X 1

VARIS Sniper Scope - a variant on the VARIS rifle that has less optimum power but can be set for deadly accurate attacks over larger ranges.

slash harkens X 2 - on in either arm.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Role: The long-range knightmare of Cynthia Moore.

Creator's comments: Palamedes is a knight often noted as being a chief pursuer of the abominable Questing Beast, a monster he wishes to slay at all cost. I probably don't have to say any more.

Brunnhilde: ブリュンヒルド Buryunhirudo

Pilot: Amelia Gottwald

Designer: Cecile Croomy with some input from Nina Einstein and limited design input from Jeremiah Gottwald

Height: 12' 9"

Weight: 9.6 tons

Description: mostly blue with gold highlights. sweeping, curved blue wings. Large plates at chest, hips and shoulders giving it a the appearance recalling an armored female. This is highlighted by the feathered-helmet shaped head with golden cable extensions flowing from the back like hair.

Weapons:

battle lance X 1 - powerful thrusting weapon; smaller and lighter than the old Gloucester lances, but far more powerful.

Master vibration sword X 1 - a top quality sword.

slash harkens X 2 - at the shoulders

"Ragnarok drive" - a special energy reactor at Brunnhilde's chest. Converts the machine's energy reserves into an ultimate destructive weapon.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Role: The beautiful and strong knightmare of Amelia.

Creator's comments: I was confused when naming Amelia's knightmare. I wanted it to relate to her father's machines. After looking for a while, I deduced that there was no guy named Siegfried in Arthurian legend, so it had to come from somewhere else. Though likely the name was chosen at random just because its a badass name, the most famous legendary Siegfried would be the character Sigurd from Norse mythology (who is called Siegfried in German stuff). After some brief research, I decided to name Amelia's knightmare after a related character. Brunnhilde(or Brynhildr if you go away from the German names) is a very much related character. She's a valkyrie. I admittedly have a valkyrie fetish. Yes, it did manifest in the knightmare's design. I couldn't help it.

Urien: ユリアン Yurian

Pilot: Hector Coleridge

Designer: Rayner Wilde and Lloyd Asplund

Height: 15' 3"

Weapons:

giant master vibration sword X 1 - a heavy sword that is wielded with ease

Hadron converger beam X 1 - in left hand; just as powerful as Morganna's

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Role: the strong and upright knightmare of Hector. Destroyed by Chiharu

Creator's comments: Urien was a king as well as a knight in the Legends, so that was good for the noble quality I was going for in Hector. He was married to Morgan Le Fay, which also kind of went into it(Arienette is kind of like a witch...), and also was the reasoning I gave the machine a converger weapon like the Morganna. I actually ended up liking the design for the machine more than I thought I would. Shame it only got one battle.

Bedivere Godhand: ベディヴィエール・ゴッドハンド "Bedivieeru Goddohando"

Pilot: Regina Granville

Designer: Rayner Wilde and Lloyd Asplund

Height: 55' 2"

Hadron converger beam X 1 - In the center, on the "head"

Slash Harkens X 4 - large spikes coming out of center

Equipment:

Energy Mist offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Harken boosters.

Bedivere core unit

Role: The supremely powerful Knight Giga Fortress of Regina Granville.

Creator's comments: With the name Godhand, I was trying to think of some word that would relate to the Arthurian character. Bedivere apparently has only one hand. I found that interesting, so I went with hthe whole hand thing. Having Regina be soemthign like "the hand of judgement" is kind of cool too. Edit: wow, I never realized Knight Giga Fortresses were supposed to be so big... Oh well, I fixed the height and weigh totals to make it closer to the data on Siegfried, of course it's a little smaller than that unit.

Dagonet Foresight: ダゴネット・フォーサイト "Dagonetto Fousaito"

Pilot: Ulric Cross

Designer: Rayner Wilde and Lloyd Asplund

Height: 6'9"

Weight: 2.2 tons

Description:a very sleek armor suit, blue and red in color. Fairly trim, with little in the way of extra bulk. The wing/energy pack at the back of the suit is the most prominent feature. Curved horns at head remain

Weapons:

Master Vibration Sword X 2: long, heavily curved blades, held outwards meant to reap through knightmares with little resistance.

Slash Harkens X 4: 1 at either elbow, 1 at either knee.

Hidden mini blaster X 1: hidden in the left underarm. Fairly weak blaster; used for surprise attacks

Equipment:

Energy Mist offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Blaze Luminous

Harken boosters.

Role: Flying battle armor, heh. Ulric's Iron Man now. Which is awesome. Foresight augments his badassness as a fighter. With the name, I really don't know what I was going for. Maybe a reference to his blinding speed.

Sieg Genesis: ジーク・ジェネシス "Jiiku Jeneshisu"

Pilot: Jeremiah Gottwald

Designer: Cecile Croomy with some input by Nina Einstein

Height: 72' 5"

Weight: 57.1 tons

Hyper-velocity canon X 2

Six-tube missile launcher X 6 - flank the top.

Equipment:

Energy win offensive/defensive/propulstion system X 2

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze Luminous

Harken boosters.

Role: Jeremiah's powerful Knight Giga Fortress.

Creator's Comments: Orange's new KGF. It's an upgrade on the Sutherland Sieg and an all around powerful machine. Lots of power and coolness all around. Again, Genesis was chosen as pretty much a random upgrade superlative that doesn't have a clear meaning. It means beginning, as you likely know, so perhaps it has to do with "Absolving" things and returning them to the origin. Yeah, that sounds good...

Jason: イアーソーン "Iaasoun"

Pilot: Alain Renard

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 17'4"

Weight: 15.2 tons

Description:

Head: Will be red in colour, and look like a plate helmet covering its entire facial features, it'll have those slits in helmets where they can see through though this isn't actually where he views fights

Torso: The main body is just black (and if you want have red streaks going from just above the waist to where the armpit would be on a human.

Arms: They are black, primarily, with one red streak on both sides from the elbow to the shoulder, then one red streak on each arm from the underside of the wrist to where the weapons are.

Legs: The Legs will be black with one red streak running down both legs on the outer side to the feet which are red with the centre of the foot being slightly black.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulsion system

Blaze Luminous x2, on chest and black of the head

Absolute Defence Field (Red Shields will appear instead of green)

Druid System

Cockpit ejection system

Role: The Juggernaut Knightmare of Alain Renard the Commander of the E.U. forces

Creators Comments(in MissUzumakiHinata's words, as all of this was): This Knightmare is basically a long distance Knightmare meant to last, its medium speed and high power, I designed it basically as something that will keep the commander safe for the battle but has the offense power to put up a fight, though an experienced Knightmare pilot who can avoid all of its weaponry will be a problem for it.

Baofeng: 暴風 (バオフン) "Baofun"

Pilot: Wu Chaowei

Designer: Rakshata Chawla

Height: 13' 9"

Weight: 7.6 tons

Description: An agile, lightweight model. It is mainly blue, with green (six feathered) wings and plates. It have eight very thin arms. Overall sleek, with a lot of curved plates

slash harken X 8 - 1 at the back of each hand.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Radiant wave-surger based shield

detaching arms

Role: Chaowei's flashier, gun-toting knightmare upgrade.

Creator's comments: So, Dongfeng got a full upgrade. I'm not sure why, considering Chaowei is one of the least compelling of CG:AotCT's main cast. I just wanted to do something different, I guess. Baofeng, apparently means "violent wind"; that's pretty damn cool.

Pegasus: ペガサス "Pegasasu"

Pilot: Philip Malden Xander

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 9' 5"

Weight: 10.6 tons

Description: It looks like a fine, white horse with pink effects, and white energy wings.

Weapons:

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze luminous based shield

Role: Philip's horse-like knightmare.

Creator's comments: A fun unit. Definitely unique. Nothing quite like it. But that's cool. Also not much to say about it. It is what it is. And what it is, is a horse.

Medusa: メドゥーサ "Meduusa"

Pilot: Marcella Belita

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 9' 8"

Weight: 8.6 tons

Description: A smallish black unit with lots of purple highlights, including long purple hair cables. It has white wings and a large visor over it's head.

Weapons:

nail blade X 2 - can be fired as slash harkens. Can be used to siphon energy from enemy

Mystic Eyes - visor opens to shoot out a Gefjun particle cloud that temporarily freezes a unit.

Noble Phantasm X 1 - central core cannon; it can only be fired once before the unit is put on emergency reserves. The blast is very, very slow and can almost never hit mobile targets, but its strength is absolutely immense, reaching levels of intensity only seen previously in FLEIJA.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze luminous based shield

Role: Marcella's sexy, badass knightmare

Creator's comments:This unit is inspired by Rider from Fate/Stay Night. She's sexy. It's a swift unit, with a good power attack. To use that attack repeatedly, it has to make good use of its energy drain capabilities.

Mórrígan: モリガン "Morigan"

Pilot: Astrid Weinberg

Designer: Rayner Wilde and Lloyd Asplund

Height: 15' 9"

Weight: 9.3 tons

Description: Very tall and thin, but with a large cockpit. It's black in color with green effects highlighting the face and body. Unlike most knightmare frames it's shoulders are not bulky, but sleekly curved. Two statue like figures emerge from these shoulders, giving it a three headed look. Each head had long black hair cables.

Weapons:

Black Saber X 1: a continual black energy sword that can be extended and retracted at will. Very powerful.

Empress Guard X 1 - a weapon shaped like a shield. it has six large spike in the shape of a cross at the front of it. These are actually slash harkens, but can be used to ram targets as well should the lance ever be lost. It can be used to deflect some attacks. In other words, a renamed King Shield; it's slightly different in shape. A more rounded shiled instead of a traditional shield shape.

MVS launcher "bow" X 2: located in the hands of either statues; an innovative system which launches long, thin MVSs at high velocities, able to penetrate most shields. Can be loaded with similarly shaped projectiles such as explosives.

"Dark Core" Reactor - similar to the Ragnarok Drive in Brunnhilde, but with black energy.

Equipment:

Energy mist offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Spirit Synchronizer

Blaze Luminous X 3: one located on either forearm, another at the chest.

Role: Astrid's heavenly knightmare. Used in Ava's ascent to the throne. Creator's comments: Viviane is one of the more common names assigned the Lady of the Lake in Arthurian Mythology, an important character. Again it's not a knight, but I think its suitable for Astrid's personal Knightmare. Again, I tried to make the knightmare work for the pilot. As Astrid and Callista have seldom a thing in common, that led to very different models.

Heracles: ヘーラクレース "Heerakureesu"

Pilot: Bernard Farris

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 26' 9"

Weight: 20.6 tons

Description: A massive, gray hulking knightmare. It has the appearance of a muscular warrior, with long black hair cables. Black wings.

Weapons:

titan's sword x 1 - primary weapon. A gigantic sword, far larger than Galahad's excalibur. It's very rough and kind of blunt, but an create incredible force. Heracles' powerful arms can move it with relative ease.

"Nine Lives" MVS bow x 1 - deploys as a secondary weapon from the right hand. It's shaped like a bow, but unlike Astrid's weapons, this is mostly cosmetic. It can fire nine shots in quick succession.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze luminous based shield

Advanced armor system - Heracles has a full 12 layers of armor that must be penetrated to get to the cockpit, giving it incredible defense.

Role: Bernard's massive, juggernaut of a knightmare

Creator's comments:This unit is inspired by Berserker from Fate/Stay Night. He's pretty cool. It's a strong unit, but not incredibly slow as you might think. Ultimate defense, but it's a little limited in attacks.

Achilles: アキレス "Akiresu"

Pilot: Lyall Gavin

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 8' 3"

Weight: 4.9 tons

Description: A very small unit, kind of like an armored suit. Had blonde hair extensions and bulky shoulders. Gold color scheme and white wings.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze luminous based shield

Role: Lyall's quick and deadly knightmare

Creator's comments:This unit is not inspired by anyone from Fate/Stay Night (unfortunately). It's even swifter than Medusa, comapring more to Dagonet Foresight. It also has great power. The only problem it has is it's low defense, and lack of variety in its attacks.

Medea: メデア "Medea"

Pilot: Nadia Fiammetta

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 11' 1"

Weight: 9.8 tons

advanced Neural interface - for use with Naida's geass, projecting it over the entire knightmare.

Blaze luminous based shield

Role: Naida's deceptive knightmare.

Creator's comments:This unit is inspired by Caster from Fate/Stay Night. She's pretty awesome. It's an offensive unit with a lot of tricks. Kind of slow and lacking in defense though. Mostly for use at a range.

Hippolyta: ヒッポリタ "Hipporita"

Pilot: Lucrecia Harrison

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 14' 5"

Weight: 12.9 tons

Equipment:

Energy mist offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze luminous based shield

Role: Eilith's swift, battle ready knightmare

Creator's comments: Yes, it's based off another Fate/Stay Night character, this time Lancer... I was lacking for inspiration and had already went into Irish Mythology for Astrid's knightmare. Ah well, it's a cool unit anyway.

Odysseus: オデッセアス "Odesseasu"

Pilot: Rowena Winfield

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 16' 2"

Weight: 15.8 tons

Description: a large heavy unit with a red, black and brown color scheme. Has helmet like head and black wings. jagged, armored appearance with large spiky shoulders.

jack cable X 1

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Harken boosters

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze luminous based shield

fortress mode

Role: Rowena's transforming knightmare

Creator's comments: it sounded liek a cool idea to have a knightmare that could transform into a mini knight giga fortress. I don't know why I selected the name for Rowena. Nothing really fit her. I considered instead Oedipus, but I couldn't convince myself that Deifilia would commission a knightmare named after him.

Minos:ミーノース "Miinousu"

Pilot: Lazarus Cain

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 13' 7"

Weight: 9.9 tons

Description: a mid-sized unit with a black, white, red and gold color scheme. Has a gold crown upon its head and red wings. smooth coat like black plate armor covers most of it giving it an ultimately sleek shape.

Equipment:

Energy Wings offensive/defensive/propulstion system

Harken boosters

Landspinner Propulsion System

Cockpit ejection system

Blaze luminous based shield

Role: Lazarus' speedy, simple knightmare

Creator's comments: Lazarus isn't an adept pilot, so his knightmare is a fairly simple one. His goal in any fight is to get the jack cable off and send his opponent to a personal hell. then start to destroy them. Minos was a king in Greek mythology. He owned the famed minotaur labyrinth . After death he became a judge of the dead in Hades, casting the deciding vote on the fate of men who had died. I thought this fit the rather judgemental Lazarus.

Argonaut:アルゴノート "Arugonouto"

Pilot: generic model

Designer: Elenie Pallas

Height: 12' 7"

Weight: 18.9 tons

Perseus: The armored suit of the mysterious "Cornelia". Like an armored knight in appearance.

Brunnhilde Valkyrie: ブリュンヒルド・ヴァルキリー Buryunhirudo Varukirii: The powerful upgraded version of Amelia's Brunnhilde.

Other Technology:

Battleship Hitokage: 戦艦火蜥蜴 (せんかんひとかげ) "Senkan Hitokage"

Description: A Black Knights aerial battleship. The design is based heavily on the Ikaruga, though its much smaller.

Weapons/shields:

Massive Hadron cannon X 1

small gun turret X 6

large gun turret X 2

slash harkens X 9

Radiant wave surger shield system

Role: The battleship out of which Chiharu's platoon operates.

Creator's comments: I always thought the Ikaruga was cool in Code Geass. I figure the Black Knights could make a few more aerial ships. It's cooler than some military base for Chiharu's bas of operations. Hitokage means salamander, not really sure what that has to do with the ship; I mostly picked it cause it sounded cool.

Battleship Hikyuu: 戦艦貔貅 (せんかんひきゅう) "Senkan Hikyuu"

Description: A Japanese aerial battleship. The design is based heavily on the Ikaruga, though its much smaller.

Weapons/shields:

Massive Hadron cannon X 1

small gun turret X 6

large gun turret X 2

slash harkens X 9

Radiant wave surger shield system

Role: The battleship operated by Minami. Xianglin and Xuemei are stationed aboard as well.

Creator's comments: It's all but identical to the Hitokage. Hikyuu means from the translation I got, either a "ferocious, leopard like beast" or a "brave warrior" both are quite cool.

Aerial Destroyer Huoyun: 航空駆逐艦火雲 (こうくうくちくかんフオユン) "Koukuu Kuchikan Fuoyun"

Description: A very large, Federation warship. The design is based loosely on the Ikaruga, though its much larger.

Weapons/shields:

Hadron cannon X 2

small gun turret X 12

large gun turret X 6

slash harkens X 15

Radiant wave surger shield system

Role: The battleship operated by Hong Gu. Kallen is stationed aboard.

Creator's comments: Huoyun means "fiery cloud" in Chinese according to Rabukurafuto. He told me it was a cool name and I should use it and that it'd work for either a knightmare or a character. When I saw it, I felt it was perfect for some type of airship instead. I really don't have much to say about it.

Destroyer Olympus: 駆逐艦オリンパス (くちくかんオリンパス) "Kuchikukan Orinpasu"

Description: A very large, EU warship. Giant and colored black.

Weapons/shields:

Hadron cannon X 4

Locations:

Vortigern, the New Capital: 新首都ヴォーティガン (しんしゅとヴォーティガン) "Shin-Shuto Voutigan"

Population: 670,000, estimated

Founded circa 1637 a.t.b.

Located in the Northeastern region of the Britannian mainland.

Role: The Capital of the Holy Britannian Empire following the destruction of Pendragon by F.L.E.I.J.A. in 2018 a.t.b. A new Imperial castle was constructed at the center of the city to house the Empress and her throne. The majority of the royal family lives in the city.

Creator's comments: Schneizel destroying the capital city near the end of geass is a rather big event. Had to come up with a new city as a result. Pendragon was obviously named after Arthur and Uther Pendragon,mythical British kings. I went the same route. Vortigern is the name of a far less famous mythical British king.

Maldini Private Academy: マルディーニ私立学園 (マルディーニしりつがくえん) "Marudiini Shiritsu Gakuen"

Enrollment: only about 700 students

Student uniform description: heavily features dark colors. The top portions, a suit coat for the guys, and a lighter, blouse for the girls are black. White shirts are worn underneath while the students were their choice of tie. The male uniform features pants and the female a skirt, both of which are a dark gray.

Role: an elite academy for the Empire's greatest rising stars is it's claim. Realistically it's just a high school for ridiculously rich kids. Where Ava and Astrid attend and serve on the student council.

Creator's comments: Ava goes to school simply because Lelouch went to school. I wanted her to have the same starting point as him. I considered a long time how I was going to name the school. I decided eventually to name it after some established character, but no one to big, or no one I was already planning to feature heavily. Kanon seemed like a good fit on both accounts. I don''t think he has much to do with the school in actuality; let's more just say it was named in his honor.

Vortigern Imperial Prison: ヴォーティガン帝都監獄 (ヴォーティガンていとかんごく) "Voutigan Teito Kangoku"

Population: roughly 4200 inmates

Role: the prison in Vortigern. Hold countless criminals who have violated Imperial law.

Creator's comments: I needed somewhere for Ava to pick up some crazy followers. A prison seemed very reasonable to me, because it could mean I have morally gray or black characters who are willing to submit fully to Ava's cause in exchange for whatever freedom. With the name, I really wanted something more creative, but I completely failed on that account.

Vortigern City Park: ヴォーティガン都市公園 (ヴォーティガンとしこうえん) "Voutigan Toshikouen"

Size: 2.12 sq mi.

Role: A park in the center of Vortigern. Serves as the location for the Celebration of Pace/Unmasking.

Creator's comments: I have just about nothing to say about this. The event had to happen somewhere. A large open park seemed like a good idea.

Britannian Private Royal Military Prison: ブリタニア私立王立軍事監獄 (ブリタニアしりつおうりつぐんじかんごく) "Buritania Shiritsu Ouritsu Gunji Kankoku"

Population: roughly 250 inmates

Role: a small prison for political enemies of Britannia and POWs. Broken into by Absolution.

Creator's comments: The second prison featured in this story. An important stage for some important events. It has high ceilings and poorly built, easy to destroy walls which make it ideal for knightmare combat, and though small, it's just big enough to get a little lost.

New Pendragon, the City of Hope: 希望の都ニューペンドラゴン (きぼうのみやこニューニューペンドラゴン) "Kibou no Miyako, Nyuu Pendoragon"

Population: 360,000, estimated

Founded circa 2020 a.t.b.

Located at the location of the old Pendragon, to the side of the F.L.E.I.J.A. crater.

Role: A city built up after the destruction of Pendragon, mostly from former suburbs of the city. It grew rapidly in the almost twenty years since it was properly founded. it's construction was seen as a symbol of hope.

Creator's comments: I pretty much just wanted to give Absolution a city to win, so I decided on this. Not really much else to say about it.

Santa Callida: サンタカジダ "Santa Kajida"

Population: 2,550, estimated

Founded circa 874 a.t.b.

Role: A small town in northeast spain near the border with France. The birth town of Belisario Nemesio and where he once fought Cornelia li Britannia. Much of the town was destroyed in the war.

Creator's comments: Essentially just a foreign location for the events of chapter 19 to occur. it's a Spanish town because that's what I chose for Belisario.

The City of Arturia: アルトリア "Arutoria"

Population: 220,000, estimated

Founded circa 1821 a.t.b.

Role: A city in central Britannia which has thrown its support behind Absolution. Massacred by Regina Grannville

Creator's comments: Fate/Stay Night is the best game ever. Go play it if you haven't already (or at least watch the anime).

Castle Amarantha: アマランサ城 (アマランサじょう) "Amaransajou"

Built: roughly 1200 a.t.b.

Role: a creepy old castle that serves as Deifilia's base of operations. Very large, with numerous rooms, some of which have been enhanced with modern convinces despite the fact that the building is so old. Located in a dark forest in the heart of the EU.

Geass:

Ava's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: By looking someone in the eye, Ava can compel anyone to answer anything she says completely truthfully. While they are under the Geass, the person cannot break eye contact with Ava until she is done with them. The do retain a conscious memory of all that they say. Ava's Geass can be used more than once on the same individual. It is activated whenever her stare becomes acutely focused.

Creator's comments: I love Ava's Geass. I wanted her Geass to operate in complete opposition to how Lelouch's worked. Lelouch was able to build a web of lies with his Geass. Ava's Geass removes lies and forces out the truth. Interestingly enough, it can be just as effective a means of manipulation.

Brighton's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Acute intelligence. In activating his Geass, his brain cells would operate at an alarming rate and he would be able to think up things that wouldn't be rightly invented until hundreds of years later.

Creator's comments: I needed my ancient immortal girl to be preserved somehow through Charles' reign. Even if she was in hiding he likely would have found her. If she was sleeping all that time underneath some old mansion her escaping all that was more reasonable. Making Brighton super-smart and able to build stuff he shouldn't have allowed this.

Hjalmar's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: By looking someone in the eyes, he can send a pulse to the cells in the brain, causing them all to spontaneously rupture.

Creator's comments: Had to think up a Geass for a guy who's pretty much a barbarian. I think it's actually feasible.

Chiharu's Geass:

Contract with: L.L.

Ability: When activated, pulses are sent to Chiharu's brain. One frees her brain of limits on how much for it can be used, allowing for increased reaction time and quicker thought processes. The other pulse triggers a reaction that removes limits on her muscle usage, augmenting her strength and speed. Prolonged use of power is fatal.

Creator's Comments: Chiharu's Geass makes her uber powerful. Obviously, as a result, it has to come with an incredible list of drawbacks. Depending on how she uses it, it can become very dangerous; she can never rely on it. that sort of maks it a fun plot device. As I've said, I struggled coming up with her perfect geass, but I think this works wonderfully.

Megami's Geass:

Contract with: V.V.

Ability: Already evolved. Originally, there was a time limit. When activated, Megami's geass temporarily eliminates her presence entirely from the sight of everyone within a sphere of influence. It does not effect any senses aside from sight. The Geass has the drawback that it cannot be undone by Megami on her own; a certain amount of human body heat is requisite to disrupt it. this amount increases very slightly with each use, meaning Megami will eventually disappear from sight entirely.

Creator's comments: Megami's Geass is an important part of her character. It seems overly powerful at first, but its drawbacks are rather sad, especially for someone very social like Megami. It also can become ineffective against a more perceptive enemy, as it does not eliminate sound (and Knightmares can be rather loud).

Signa's Geass:

Contract with: ?

Ability: Already evolved. By looking some in the eyes she can temporarily augment their sense of feeling, both emotional and physical, this is most often used to escalate the pain of the other. The efect is however short lived. Additionally, the opposite sort of effect is visited constantly upon the user, draining her of feeling, and effect all emotion and humanity.

Creator's Comments: Signa is defined by her Geass. When I was considering Geass powers, this idea occurred to me as being plausible and sort of took hold as one to give to a minor character. It's fairly cool.

Naida's Geass:

Contract with: ?

Ability: Already evolved. Naida constantly is recognized as someone else by the recognition faculties of everyone within a sphere of influence. The effect pertains to sight, sound and even smell, though the effects are reconstructed from memories and Naida is quite bad at remembering the last as the same image for two long will give Naida sharp headache so she must change often (she'll actually chahnge subconsciously sometimes). She also gets headaches if she changes too much.

Creator's Comments: Naida's Geass is cool. Sure the headaches would get annoying and the fact that she can't stay the same person for very long makes it hard for her to make new friends, but it's all still pretty cool and a very interesting power.

Hildegarde's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Hildegarde's geass allows her to catch glimpses of other's pasts. She does not directly control the ability but rather it is controlled by strong desire. When active, only few seconds are lost no matter the length of the scene she witnesses. She can only use the ability once per person.

Creator's Comments: Hildegarde's Geass is interesting. A more or less non-battle Geass for the definitive warrior girl of the story. Though not for battle in the traditional sense, it does give Hildegarde insight into her opponent so that weakness become clear and psychological warfare becomes possible.

Margaret's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Margaret's Geass allows her to use the abilities of someone in proximity to her. This includes mental and physical abilities. She does not directly control the abilities, her mind just follows through the controlling thought patterns it rips from the other and her body is made to do them subconsciously.

Creator's Comments: Margaret's Geass suits her. A girl who always looks to others when looking at herself, it makes sense that her power would be in taking on the powers of others. it makes her a fearsome opponent for anyone for sure. Though she cannot control the borrowed abilities directly, her mental state is also not factored into them, so if her opponent falters, they are sure to lose.

Philip's Geass:

Contract with: ?

Ability: Philip can slow or speed up a persons perception of time, making everything neither seem to move at a crawl or fly by. He can switch back and forth readily. As a drawback, the Geass destabilizes the user's sense or reality. Requires eye contact.

Creator's Comments: Philip's Geass is cool. it can be quite immobilizing and powerful ad his erratic personality, it becomes even more disorienting for his opponents.

Deifilia's Geass:

Contract with: F.F.

Ability: Deifilia can, with her Geass, destroy, create, or rearrange cells in humans and animals by sending neural impulses through the eyes, allowing her to do any number of things. The power takes time and concentration to work, and it can only work effectively on parts of a body with numerous nerve endings, but it has no real drawbacks.

Creator's Comments: I wanted something powerful and un-Geass like for Deifilia. It's a cool ability I think, good for the big villain. It allows her to do a lot of special things

Eldridge's Geass:

Contract with: ?

Ability: Eldridge can see very clear visions of the fate of any person, should they acquire Geass. It's something of a limited power, to say the least, so it doesn't really have many drawbacks.

Creator's Comments: The Sage's Geass is very critical to Deifilia's scheming. He can see into fate and guide her on path to her vision. His power was designed to be her tool.

Lazarus' Geass:

Contract with: ?

Ability: Lazarus is able to force others to see ultra-realistic illusions, controlled and generated by his imagination. The drawback is that he himself sees these illusions constantly, even when the Geass is not active, depriving him of perfect touch with reality.

Non-Creator's Comments [I don't feel like getting daiki-kasho to comment on just this]: it's a cool power. Because of his hellish imagination, he can show you some really scary crap. This is hard on you if you're an 11 year old girl, as poor Astrid learned in the past chapter when she was effectively mind-screwed.

Lucrecia's Geass:

Contract with: ?

Ability: Lucrecia's Geass is simple; she can trap a person deep within the confines of their own mind by making eye contact with them. She can only use her power on one person at a time, and her actions while she using it are limited.

Creator's Comments [I actually did think of Lucrecia's Geass, even if he's daiki-kasho's character]: Lucrecia's Geass just came to me. I don't know. daiki-kasho started talking about her character and I threw the idea out for her geass and he okayed it first thing and I just sort of went with it. Pretty simple really. But I guess it's cool.

Marcella's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Marcella can use her Geass to hijack the sight of anyone in a certain sphere of influence. Can be used on multiple targets thanks to her visor.

Creator's Comments: Marcella's geass has her seeing from other's perspectives. I think it's a cool power.

Bernard's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Bernard's ability allows him to return pain he feels to the opponent many times over, causing intense pain. Eye contact is needed.

Creator's Comments: It works for him. He's a fairly pacifistic character, so a counter attack is fitting.

Lyall's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Lyall can use his Geass to inflame emotions in his opponent. Eye contact is needed

Creator's Comments: The abrasive jerk needs a power that works from him. This does. The more he pisses you off, the more you lose control.

Edouard's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Elischa can affect the way things are perceive within a small sphere of influence around him. Used mainly to make his attacks look like they come from different angles than they do

Creator's Comments: Trick attacks work for a character like him.

Valeria's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Valeria can pick up and process data from machines, able to then pinpoint their weaknesses.

Creator's Comments: Fits our knightmare fetishist.

Elischa's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Elischa has a limited telepathy, which enable him to detect when allies in a certain sphere of influence perceive themselves to be in danger. Allows him to predict enemy attacks.

Creator's Comments: For a fairly heroic man, this works being able to swoop in and protect others.

Cesia's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Cesia can form a limited telepathic web with up to ten people, for perfect coordination and awareness.

Creator's Comments: Suitable for the commanding leader type.

Rowena's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Rowena can make people see something they want to see. Either an expectation or a dream. it manifests thoughts. Eye contact is needed

Creator's Comments: A suitable Geass for someone who lives to fulfill a dream like Rowena.

Regina's Geass:

Contract with: D.D.

Ability: Regina can show other's vivid illusions of their greatest fears. Eye contact is needed.

Creator's Comments: A dark Geass to complete Regina's dark image.

Katsue's Geass and Katsumi's Geass

Contract with: L.L.

Ability: The two Geass cannot be uses independently and can only be used on the other twin. When used, the two twins develop a strict collective consciousness that is hyper-aware .

Creator's Comments: A powerful geass for our Kozuki will see them go pretty far. I suppose it's expected for twins to have a power like this, almost.

Groups:

The Universal Commission: ユニバーサルコミッション "Yunibaasaru Komisshon"

Description: The collective governing body of the Euro Universe. Led by the President of the Universal Commission (currently Belisario Nemesio). Is made up of 27 commissioners.

Comments: Essentially the same as the real life European Commission that governs the real life European Union, as I didn't have the creativity in me to think up something different. Hope no one minds.

Absolution:

Description: A group of dissenters against Ava's regime within Britannia. Seek to remove her from power. They wear color coded Zero masks that hide their identities, even from one another. They have a number of highly trained agents who act as spies of sorts.

Masks (- with true identities):

Orange - Jeremiah Gottwald

White - Sayoko Gottwald

Pink - Anya Alstreim

Blue - Cecile Croomy

Silver - Kanon Maldini

Brown - Larkin Elision

Yellow - Benjamin Wakefield

Green - Alastair Kennard

Gold - Milly Ashford

Red - Nina Einstein

Agents:

Amelia Gottwald

Miya Ashford

Cynthia Moore

Creator Comments: Even while they're question marks, some of them should be immediately obvious. Absolution is a very interesting component to the story in my opinion. They embrace the very lies Ava wishes to destroy. She is famous for the Unmasking, yet they all choose to wear masks as if to challenge her.

The Four Champions: 四天王 (フォー・チャンピオンズ) "Fou Chanpionzu"

Description: The four top soldiers within the Euro Universe. They serve directly under the President of the Universal Commision, Belisario Nemesio and all pilot custom knightmare frames.

Creator's Comments: I wanted to do something with the EU in this story, get them involved in the fight, and not just off screen. Four seemed like a perfect number. It's not too many characters for you to lose track of them, but it's enough to serve the purpose.

Verum Tutela: ヴェルム・トゥーテーラ "Verumu Tuuteera"

Description: An anti-imperial terrorist organization to which Deifilia once belonged to.

Creator's Comments: I wanted it to sort of be equivocal to the Black Knights, but crushed before they could explode out. It means guardians of truth. Or it should. It probably doesn't.

Events:

The Celebration of Peace: 平和祭 (へいわさい) "Heiwasai"

Description: An event scheduled to take place in Vortigern City Park to commemorate twenty years of lasting peace. Nunnally, Schneizel, Zero, and a slew of celebrity guests were scheduled to attend. It was sponsored by Pizza Hut

Comments: It seems somehow ridiculous to me honestly. I guess it can be explained in realizing that Nunnally is in control. Something like this would obviously be her idea. Needed some event where all the pieces would be in place.

The Unmasking: アンマスキング "Anmasukingu"

Description: the name given to the events occurring at the Celebration of Peace, in which Ava li Britannia removed Zero's mask and revealed his and Prince Schneizel's lies to the world.

Comments: Essentially the name given to chapter five, so it can easily be referenced. Chapter five was pretty cool, wasn't it?
