Character Name: Lelouch vi Britannia Canon: Code Geass Age: 18 Gender: Male
Canon Point: Post Season 2 History:Lelouch's wiki, Code Geass synopsis Personality: Lelouch acts very different depending on who he's dealing with. First you have the companionable and casual personality that he presents to his peers at school. He's Vice President of the Student Council and gets along with his classmates well enough. There seem to be few people that dislike him any capacity aside from his teachers when he slacks off and skips too many classes. Though fiercely bright, Lelouch is incredibly lazy and indifferent in regards to school, again earning him this disdain of his teachers. However, peers are attracted to this personality, as is seen with his fellow student council member Shirley. Shirley is also shown his compassion on occasion, such as after her father is killed in a battle between the Black Knights and Britannia (ultimately a death that was his fault).
This is likewise how he presents himself to his sister, Nunnally, who is also privy to his gentleness and compassion. He mentions to her several times how he would never lie to her, and it is for her that he wants to make a peaceful world. Lelouch would do anything, absolutely anything, to ensure Nunnally's safety. He uses his Geass on himself in order to save her from Mao who hangs a pendulum bomb above his head, so that he can't remember what he planned with Suzaku, keeping Mao from also being able to read his mind and discover the plan. He also abandons the Black Knights in their final battle against Britannia because his sister is kidnapped. Nunnally, as mentioned before, it's one of the two important factors of why he is gunning for Britannia (the other being the murder of his mother).
And then there's the way he acts with Suzaku. It is similar to how he treats Nunnally, though with less of the gentleness. They're close friends, despite knowing that Suzaku is an enemy to his cause. He saves him on more than one occasion, the first being when he is accused of the murder of Prince Clovis. He also uses his Geass on Suzaku when he tries to sacrifice his life on an order. Despite knowing he's the enemy and finding out he's the pilot of the Knightmare that keeps besting the Black Knights, it's still obvious that he cares about Suzaku, to a point that he falters on his commands when he discovers this fact.
All of that, however, is not all there is to Lelouch's personality. There's a side his schoolmates don't see. Behind closed doors and behind Zero's mask he is cold, calculating, crude, and arrogant. He's ruthless on the battlefield, sacrificing soldiers and civilians alike, despite claiming that his army wouldn't hurt the defenseless. Multiple times he uses strategies that sacrifice civilians to get rid of large forces of the Britannian military, such as when he creates a landslide that kills military and civilians. Collateral damage, if you will. Lelouch is very, very much a hypocrite between the ideals he preaches and the way he goes about them. As the series progresses he becomes increasingly more callous and heartless with his bloodshed, as opposed to the beginning of the season when he gets physically nauseous over remembering a murder.
Lelouch is highly intelligent, and it shows in his strategies, where time and again he is able to outsmart his opponents. He is the type of person that considers every possible outcome, method, or move to ensure that his plans work. Though he's outsmarted a few times - like by Cornelia who is similar to him in that she considers everything so that the enemy won't surprise her, and by Mao who was able to read his thoughts and thus know every outcome he considers - overall his strategies are tactical and calculated. It makes him a nearly unbeatable opponent at chess, even against adults, which he uses to his advantage to gamble early on in the series.
However, over time as the series and battles progress, Lelouch's strategies start becoming more dangerous as he becomes more manic and arrogant with his power and control, and sometimes when he lets his emotions get the better of him. He starts giving orders that have a bigger chance of ending with his own people getting hurt, or even abandons his troops with no commands to go save Nunnally, leaving his second-in-command in charge and his army helpless. This leads to the almost complete obliteration and capture of the Order of the Black Knights. In the privacy of his own Knightmare you can see more and more as his mental stability begins to wane as the power goes to his head. The more victories he secures and the more he proves his power, the more he considers himself the one who is meant to destroy and create something better. He thinks it his job to make the world into a better place, not only for his sister but for everyone in the world. He's no less intelligent about how he goes about things, even if his strategies become more dangerous, time and again he continues to outsmart his enemies with things they don't see coming, even outsmarting Cornelia eventually to corner her and question her about his mother's murder.
Through speeches and actions, Lelouch is able to gather other resistance groups into his rebellion. His charisma and quick-wit lends him the ability to take any situation and use it to further his agenda and garner more support. Even if it's something as horrific as the murder of thousands of Japanese civilians by he own, albeit accidental, Geass-command. He uses the massacre his Geass unwittingly caused to establish the United States of Japan with his new support and lead his final attack on the Tokyo Settlement.
The personality he presents as Zero reflects more closely his thoughts and ideals than the personality he shows to his school friends, though this doesn't make his school personification any less real as he is also very much a true part of himself with Nunnally and his other sister Euphie and even with his friends on the Student Council, shown when he sheds tears over giving the order to kill her to stop the killing of Japanese and how he would abandon his troops to save Nunnally and when he doesn't want the Black Knights to hurt the Britannian students of Ashford High after they make it their base. His compassion for them is very real and genuine, as he had several opportunities to kill Euphie and time and again did not take those opportunities. First in the hotel hi-jacking and then again when they wake up on an island together. The differences in his personalities however, lead him to appear very two-faced, which is not at all helped by the fact that he is deceitful in his actions - such as warping Euphie's massacre into something to benefit his end goal.
All that up there? That pretty much goes to shit in season two. Suzaku betrays him and turns him over to his father, who eradicates his most precious memories (of his sister, his mom, etc). It doesn't take long for him to regain those memories though, and when he does he's understandably pissed. He takes his mantle back up as Zero, completely cut-throat and ruthless. Where he'd gotten physically ill in the first season over killing people, he shows no such remorse the second time around. He continues to be calculating and smart about his decisions, despite Suzaku trying to trip him up at every turn to reveal him as Zero. But being betrayed by your best friend takes its toll, of course, and Lelouch's downward spiral continues in a way that makes you want to turn the television off because you just can't watch anymore.
Lelouch, in a sense, completely self-destructs. Everyone he's ever cared for he's either lied to or been betrayed by, and in turn he betrays them too. His entire rebellion is turned against him, the consequences of learning that he may have geassed them. Pretty much everything good in his life dies, and it's well deserved, but it breaks what little there was left of his humanity. With the deaths of Shirley and Nunnally (so he thought), Lelouch basically loses his whole reason for a rebellion in the first place. But it doesn't deter him from going after his father, and discovering that his mother is in fact still around. And while he'd lost his reason for fighting previously, after and altercation with them and discovering the twisted world they want to create, Lelouch regains his conviction in the world he wanted for Nunnally.
From here on out, Lelouch becomes ruthless to all. There's no feigned kindness left, he becomes an even worse dictator than his father before him. Which makes him sound not so much like the protagonist of this show anymore. But with the help of Suzaku who betrays his country and helps him stage a coup d'tat, Lelouch becomes the 99th Emperor of Britannia and proceeds to demolish it from the inside out. But it's not just Britannia that he's targeting. Lelouch manages, purposefully, to piss off the entire world against him for his ends. That end is centering all hate on him, so that when Suzaku, disguised as Zero, kills him, the negativity of war will die with him. Essentially creating the world anew, not only for Nunnally, but for everyone living there. He's one of three characters in the canon to truly be broken completely from what they were before. However, that's not to say that Lelouch wouldn't still be able to put on a face if he needed to. A liar is a liar is always a liar. Powers: Lelouch's main ability is the Geass he receives from C.C. Geass is a supernatural ability that can be granted by certain people through a contract. Each Geass manifests differently and increases in power with each use, which can lead to a person losing control of when they use their Geass if they lack the proper willpower to control it - meaning it would become permanently active. Each Geass has different limitations and restrictions, such as the length of time a Geass will remain or if the Geass can be used multiple times on people if it is one that directly affects a person. Lelouch's Geass is the power of absolute obedience, triggered by looking a person directly in the eye with his Geass activated (which is signified by the Geass sigil appearing in his left eye). With this power he can plant commands into a person's mind, such as "give me your Knightmare" or "release this prisoner". His Geass can only affect a person once, and once the command is completed the person under its influence has no memories of what happened from right before and during the influence. It also has a range restriction of roughly 270 meters, according to Lelouch.
Since Lelouch is dead from his point in canon, it's debatable that he would have his Geass at all upon arrival. I'm leaning towards him still having it, but it would definitely be nerfed like crazy so he can't just walk around putting everyone under his control at his leisure, since he's got the permanent Geass going on these days. If the mods would prefer he not show up with Geass, though, I'm cool with that also! Aside from Geass, Lelouch is pretty much the most worthless person in existence when it comes to physical prowess. He's just a smart little shit and nothing more.
Oh! I meant to add this to my app, but I did have a question- Since he's coming in post death, will he arrive with his stab wound mostly healed or how will that work?
