Code Geass Random Ideas Thread

[Cynical Kyle]

I include the whole scene there as part of the finale, cliffhangers be damned. I meant possibly on the trip to the Emperor, while Suzaku is still simmering, but not exploding in anger. Also I forgot just how angry he got.

And like I said, at that point he was beyond listening to anything coming from Lelouch, so that idea of yours is pretty much invalid without heavy OoC-behaviour on Suzaku's part.

@Sdebeli: Euphemia had done rather good job with Suzaku & his issues, so while not quite sane by normal standards he was doing swimmingly by the standards of CG.


On unrelated note, I noticed quite an interesting tidbit when I was rewatching Code Geass. And that is Lelouch's alleged physical weakness, which is something unique to R2 only. In first season Lelouch was depicted as possessing at least average abilities of the type for his age and he only seemed lacking when compared to superhumanly Suzaku. Heck, he was even able to free himself from the grasp of aforementioned ubermensch in the very first episode of R1!

Yet in R2 his physical condition isn't what it used to be, evidently that mindwipe ala Charles wasn't limited only to memories

She had. He was in control of his insanity, if anything. But he was not sane from the moment he shot his father, if even then.

Which is why I defined that regained sanity only up to the standards of Code Geass, where people WITHOUT some kind of sanity issues can be counted by one hand at most.

At least when judged from our society's standards for mental health.

I was going to suggest parts of The Stolen Mask, but aside from the start when it was just him chasing Arthur (which showed him being a little clumsy, and outran by said cat) thats actually a good point.

also, alright, I concede that idea. Different idea though: Suzaku and Lelouch corner Arthur when he has the mask, but as a result, Lelouch has exposed himsef to Suzaku, and is not actually wanting to Geass Suzaku, both from a planning point of view and a personal point of view. So the two calmly (Possibly) talk it over later on, out of hearing range from Nunnally.

Thats all I've got.

More interesting and plausible idea this time. This has more directions it could lead to, such as Suzaku becoming Nunnally's bodyguard if Lelouch manages to be suave enough.

Lelouch practically breathes charisma, it's more a matter if his luck holds for a long enough period of time.

Idea: What if V.V. killed Marianne because he was AGAINST the Instrumentality ripoff, for simmilar reasons as Lelouch

Not very good idea: What if V.V. wasn't the biggest asshole in the series?

Plain stupid idea: C.C. becomes the Goddess of Pizza.

Back to regular ideas: Kallen, thinking that Lelouch's intelligence could be used, tries to blackmail him onto the Black Knights.

Different idea: What if Lelouch's geass was the ability to change a single thing about someone's fate... like, say someone would cross the street safely, to die of old age, now they instead die of an out of control car that hits them.

 

[bissek]

That would require Lelouch to know what a person's fate is supposed to be.

 

[Leonite]

Not really. Just say "Fated to die by a car accident in 5 minutes" or something like that. to use the first Geass usage example "I, Lelouch Vi Brittania, declare you are fated to die now". Cue people having unexpected heart attacks, getting suicidally depressed, going mad enough to shoot themselves, etc.

That sounds suspiciously like a Death Note clone.

Essentially, its getting something to happen without munipulting someone...

A non "you will die" example, a twist on the Euphemia geassing: "I could even say that your fated to kill all the Japanese". Cue accidental pistol firing, disaster triggering, etc.

Also, I've never watched/read Death Note

 

[Leonite]

Ok, basic idea here, instead of getting Knightmare Frames, Lelouch and possibly the Black Knights get Kamen rider systems. Much smaller than the frames, but can more easily dodge attacks and have tons of power behind their blows (Not kidding, even the weakest of forms, Kuuga Growing and Den-O Plat, have had at least half a ton worth of maximum force behind their blows, more for finishing moves. And while I can't speak for growing, Plat Form never won a battle by itself, it always either transformed, or get smacked around until help arived)

Mobility isn't an issue, most Riders come with motorcycles as well. For balance sake, you can have either Brittania will start deploying some of the bad guys of the shows, there will be only a handful of suits on both sides, and/or some bad guys will start to spring up as third factions. Also, if you use this idea, don't feel restricted to actual riders. Stuff like Kamen Rider Gurren or Lancelot are possible.

(Said information on the force of attacks come from Kamen rider wiki's, which themselves state to get their info from japanese Kamen Rider supplimentary materials, as a result, only the main and occasionally secondary riders get stats)

Edit: for those curious, people tend to simplify Rider systems down to three types, although some tend to skirt the line.

Technological: One of the more popular types, these rider suits are usually transformed by technologically grounded belts, phones, mechanical animals, weapons, and such, or are enhanced by machines. Kamen Riders who have used the tech method include Kamen Rider Faiz, and the related Faiz gears, Kabuto and secondary Kamen Rider IXA. Kamen Riders from the Showa era, who were largely cyborgs, mostly fall into this catagory as well.

Mystical: The belt of these riders, and their powers, tends to be grounded more in fantasy than the mechanical riders, although this has been used in various ways. A large chunk of riders can be classified under mystical, from Kamen Rider Ryuuki's riders getting poer from the monster's they're contracted too, to OOO using a transformed sealing stone and medals to transform, to Kiva using the bite and power of a bat and other monsters. Late Showa/Early Heisei riders, like Black/RX (As far as I know), ZO and J are mystical riders.

Organic: By far the least used rider type, these riders tend to transform their bodies into their rider forms and usually, but not always, use their bodies as their only weapons. The most famouse riders of this type are Kamen Rider Amazon, who's origins tend to be mystical, Kamen Rider Shin and secondary Kamen Rider Gills, although the Hibiki Riders, who all transform into oni to become riders, could also count despite using weapons, as could some of Kiva's forms.

For the most part, both sides would use Tech Riders, with mystical and organic ones being better suited for those who would otherise, or still do, have codes or Geass.

Okay, some somewhat random shit that occurred to me after seeing one too many Restart stories.

Lelouch goes back in time right to the infamous contract moment, except...
He decides that if he's already going through this mess again, he sure as hell isn't doing it the same way he did it already.
So, after a quick order for the soldiers to forget they ever saw either him or C.C. there and leaving, instead of helping out the rebels, he directly walks over to prince Clovis for an extended conversation on certain political matters while a surprise ceasefire settles over the ghetto.

Clovis, despite his early appearance to some as such, is not stupid, and the exact reasons for his running the Code-R project (which he effectively did before V.V. annexed it), as well as having a rather entertaining amount of knowledge are never given. So, character development ahoy in that direction.

Besides, does Lelouch, after actually going through all he went through, really need a fixed scenario to follow in order to win? The guy who predicted Szhneizel's responses well enough to be able to record a conversation? Yah, I don't think so.

Idea no.2
The world resets with all the major actors having perfect memory of what has occurred before teh reset.

Que Ragnarok connection ASAP if Marianne or Charles are counted. And if not, assuming Kallen learned of Lelouch's innocence, it likely means Lelouch, Suzaku (he's not going to try the same thing twice) Kallen and C.C... as well as possibly Jerimiah and Nunally are going to be on their own in a three sided fight (assuming the other Knights DIDN'T learn about it)

Go check FF.net.
Everyone and their mother in law is trying to write one.

@Leonite
Actually, that would depend on the reset time. Personally, I'd love to set it at some point where the reset wold have meaning, rather than having Charles lolstomp the world.

Assuming that Charles & Marianne *would* exist after reset, they did end up being devoured by collective unconsciousness of mankind after all.

On that line, Lelouch, C.C. and Suzaku finding themselves in drastically changed world/alternate dimension/whatever due to Charles & Marianne never being born 'cause will of humanity decided that they were tasty.

With them being the same they were at the moment of the reset? Okay.

That has promise... though one can assume one of the following scenarios is s possible outcome. (there are more, these just come to mind first)

1. Charles wasn't born, V.V. assumed the throne, either directly, or using someone while ruling from the shadows as a Gray Eminence while he took the Code. Queue Armageddon. Or Ragnarok, whichever term you prefer.

2. V.V. failed to grasp power, and the Emblem of Blood had drastic effects on the state of Britannia. While not much is mentioned of Charles' competitors for the throne, one can assume they weren't the most capable sort, hence a likely decline to the the country's power. Out of there, Japan never gets conquered by the Brits, the Federation turns against the Euro Universe over the area in question due to the Sakuradite reserves and a war breaks out over the territory, most likely AT the territory, leaving Japan a smoking battlefield.
C.C. potentially remains the Director of the Geass Order, and potentially guides her own vision of Instrumentality.
The Sword of Akasha never develops.
Okay, slightly jumping to conclusions there, but it's one realistic scenario, regardless.


Edit: Also, another idea:
A story based in the time of the Emblem of Blood, following a young Charles and V.V. as well as Marianne and C.C. from another direction, as the quartet joins forces in a plan to create a new, better world free of the horrors of the old one.

V.V. wouldn't be able to initiate Ragnarok himself, it was stated that both Codes were needed for that.

What I was after was more along with your second idea, eg. Lelouch's party finding themselves in a world where Britannia is declining because of all the infighting and lack of effective leadership. Chinese Federation and Euro Universe wage war against each other pretty much everywhere else and few remaining neutral countries suffer as they are often caught in the middle.

Cue Lelouch aiming to become Emprah once more with two of his staunchest allies at his side, ready to show the world what their team-up is capable of no matter how hard it may try to screw them over.

Well.... the world has produced 1 person capable of even remotely standing up to Lelouch vi Britannia that wasn't a Britannian.
So... roflstomp in style?

If done right, it could be immensely amusing, or very serious. But, without Lelouch being a Cosmic Plaything, and having the stupid amounts of experience he already has... well, a world without someone like Charles and Schneizel to stand on the opposite side of the front would be his for the taking.

And even that person suffered from terminal disease which that ability caused to him.

It would most likely end up as hammed up roflstomp with occasional lulz. His canonical record of achieving world domination in about year and a half might even be broken as great hamminess and genius would pave Lelouch's way to greatness. His name would be hailed, world united under his rule and things are starting to get better.

Until a hostile alien race would suddenly decide to launch their invasion as universe wasn't done playing with their beloved toy.

Okay, slightly jumping to conclusions there, but it's one realistic scenario, regardless.


Edit: Also, another idea:
A story based in the time of the Emblem of Blood, following a young Charles and V.V. as well as Marianne and C.C. from another direction, as the quartet joins forces in a plan to create a new, better world free of the horrors of the old one.

V.V. wouldn't be able to initiate Ragnarok himself, it was stated that both Codes were needed for that.

What I was after was more along with your second idea, eg. Lelouch's party finding themselves in a world where Britannia is declining because of all the infighting and lack of effective leadership. Chinese Federation and Euro Universe wage war against each other pretty much everywhere else and few remaining neutral countries suffer as they are often caught in the middle.

Cue Lelouch aiming to become Emprah once more with two of his staunchest allies at his side, ready to show the world what their team-up is capable of no matter how hard it may try to screw them over.

Well.... the world has produced 1 person capable of even remotely standing up to Lelouch vi Britannia that wasn't a Britannian.
So... roflstomp in style?

If done right, it could be immensely amusing, or very serious. But, without Lelouch being a Cosmic Plaything, and having the stupid amounts of experience he already has... well, a world without someone like Charles and Schneizel to stand on the opposite side of the front would be his for the taking.

And even that person suffered from terminal disease which that ability caused to him.

It would most likely end up as hammed up roflstomp with occasional lulz. His canonical record of achieving world domination in about year and a half might even be broken as great hamminess and genius would pave Lelouch's way to greatness. His name would be hailed, world united under his rule and things are starting to get better.

Until a hostile alien race would suddenly decide to launch their invasion as universe wasn't done playing with their beloved toy.

For the greater lulz, this must be done!

So, new idea thread then?

Likely that and entry in preview section as soon as I manage to formulate better frame for admittedly absurd plot consisting of shoddy dimension hop mixed with hammy curbstomping and alien invasion(s). There's also the personal issue of fever, but I've found that it can be rather useful tool when plotting.
