History Roleplay / SemperAdMeliora

* AnythingThatMoves: [[spoiler:Victor]] practically says this word for word in regards to Charles, [[spoiler:wondering if his brother is physically capable of resisting bedding beautiful females]].

* FiveManBand: Lelouch has one that fits closer to the villainous version, but still fits nonetheless.
** TheLeader: Lelouch himself, as a Prince of Britannia.
** TheDragon: Jeanne Rowe, Lelouch's military advisor.
** TheBrute: So far divided into Kallen for Knightmare operations and Greta Romano for naval operations.
** TheEvilGenius: Kenshin Yaeger, the top Britannina researcher into psionics.
** TheDarkChick: Sayoko and Nunnally - the former being Lelouch's bodyguard alongside her clan, the latter being one of Lelouch's knights, but still rather immature.

* IntraFranchiseCrossover: Elements from all three of the canon parts of ''Franchise/CodeGeass'' are present in this story.
** ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Lelouch is the main character, and as of this writing, Euphemia, Cornelia, Charles, Marianne, Kallen, Jeremiah, Clovis, Nunnally, [[spoiler:Viletta, Marika, and Lilianna]] have all showed up.
** ''Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled'': Jeanne Rowe is Lelouch's martial advisor. [[spoiler:Ashley is mentioned in Turn 9 as one of Kallen's subordinates.]]
** ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection'': [[spoiler:Sokia is mentioned in Turn 9 as one of Kallen's intended recruits.]]

* TooHotForTV: Of a sort - one of the images a fan posted of Liliana, Marika, and Cornelia was removed (and the poster given a three day suspension) due to sexualization of a minor (Liliana and Marika are over the age of majority in the story, but in the image, they are both around 14-15 and are strategically position to protect Cornelia's modesty, as she is wearing a cape and nothing else. Also, they're wearing the ''very revealing'' uniforms that Luciano Bradley gave them). It was an official poster from 2008 by the show’s artist Kimura.

* CivilWar: [[Tianzi kickstarts one in the Chinese Federation after having her corrupt High Eunuchs publicly executed.]]

[[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/semper-ad-meliora-code-geass-britannian-royalty-quest.55535/#post-12604860 Semper Ad Meliora: Always Towards Better Things]] is a ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings''-style quest hosted by [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/members/slayer-anderson.2081/ Slayer Anderson]] on Website/SufficientVelocityDotCom, based on the anime Anime/CodeGeass.

The quest was on hold while Slayer Anderson deals with real-life issues, but recently began updating again.

The quest is currently on hold while Slayer Anderson deals with real-life issues.

** Due to Lelouch and Nunnally still being alive, Cornelia and Clovis are better off mentally than in canon - the former is still a conquering general but is somewhat softer toward those she fights, while the latter is content with merely being a painter.

Administrivia/NeedsABetterDescription.

** The Thylacine isn't extinct in this timeline (or even close to extinction, for that matter), as Britannians view them as exotic pets. There's actually thriving populations in North America that originated from feral pets, which have taken the role of wolves in many parts of the continent. They've helped to control the feral pigs, removing one incentive for trying to cull them.

** [[spoiler:[[DidAnastasiaSurvive Anastasia Romanov survived the October Revolution and somehow ended up in Britannia]]. She's now known as Anastasia '''li Britannia''']].

* BigScrewedUpFamily: And how! Through a combination of social darwinism, and polyamory the Emperor has 108 wives/empresses/consorts, while we don't have a count of the Emperor's total children we know there are at least 40 kids, some of who run the full gambit from never having met, to bitter political rivals. Schneizel is the Prime Minister of a political party, and Guinevere his half sister is his bitter political rival.

* TheConspiracy: [[spoiler:An unknown party opposed to Kenshin Jaeger's ideas and beliefs is trying to subtly eliminate him, and have begun backing pirates in the New Caledonia region after Lelouch brought Jaeger into his employ]].
* ConspiracyTheorist: Lelouch's resident MadScientist, Kenshin Jaeger, belives he is being hunted by several who oppose him ideologically. [[spoiler:[[ProperlyParanoid At least one of these groups is real and wants him dead]]]].
* DidAnastasiaSurvive: In this universe, she did. [[spoiler:''She's Cornelia's mom'']].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Regardless of their morality, most of Charles’ wives and children have made an unspoken agreement to avoid overt attempts to off one another so as to ensure they can build effective power bases. The catch is that, should Charles die, [[EnemyCivilWar it’s every royal form themselves]].
* TheExile: The majority of the Shinobi Clans were exiled from Japan due to harshly clashing with the modern culture there, something Lelouch exploits to gain the aid of Sayoko and her clan. [[spoiler:Sayoko's clan in particular was also exiled due to a Generational Feud with the Sumeragi family]].
* FamilyDisunion: Allegedly one such family get together involved a pair of Empresses nearly coming to blows over making one of the children cry. The fact that one of the pair was piloting a Knightmare and Knight of the Round, and the other was the former Director of OSI and the two were in a prolonged staredown... it was a tense situation to say the least.
* FeudingFamilies: [[spoiler:The Shinozaki clan and Sumeragi family have had a feud going on for some time, which resulted in the Shinozaki clan being forced to leave Japan. Lelouch unknowingly got involved in this when he took in the Shinozaki clan, but was able to negotiate with Kaguya's father to put the feud on hold]].

** Related to the above, Lelouch ends up meeting Kallen for the first time in the Britannian Homeland as opposed to first at Kamine Island (Which was a ForgottenFirstMeeting) and then again at Ashford.

* FramingTheGuiltyParty: Lelouch, Kallen, and Isaac Stadtfeld frame the majority of the Stadtfeld family for planning to assassinate the latter two over an issue of inheritance. Said family is actually guilty of ''treason'', having sold secrets to the Rus Republic several decades prior and still having channels open with the E.U. Lelouch arranged for this framing to ensure that Isaac and Kallen would retain their titles as Duke of Westhaven and Heir to said Duchy.

** Kallen ''still'' falls for Lelouch, though this time around, she falls for his true identity, instead of for Zero.

** Lelouch once again ends up with Sayoko in his services. This time, though, he also has the support of ''her entire shinobi clan''. [[spoiler:Later, this get's upgraded to ''every remaining ninja in existence'']].

** ''Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled'': Jeanne Rowe is Lelouch's martial advisor. [[spoiler:Ashley is mentioned in Turn 9 as one of Kallen's subordinates]].
** ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection'': [[spoiler:Sokia is mentioned in Turn 9 as one of Kallen's intended recruits]].
* ThePatriarch: Charles zi Britannia, the Emperor. Even his most beloved Empress, and at the time favorite son had to follow strict rules to even meet with him in a fairly informal setting. It was seen as remarkable that only this Empress could openly express her disdain to the Emperor.

* {{Polyamory}}: Lelouch is currently in a relationship with Kallen, but the latter has admitted she is okay if Lelouch is involved with other girls (given that he is a Britannian Prince, this is practically expected). [[spoiler:Jeanne becomes the second girl to admit her feelings to him]].
* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: In this timeline, John F. Kennedy is a Britannia count, and married Marilyn Monroe.
* RoyallyScrewedUp: Imperfection, sloth and laziness are not tolerated among royals. ''ALL'' of Charles' children are shown to be highly competent in various fields: Politics, International Finance, Knightmare Pilotting, Military Tactics, Psionics. Evil... is optional apparently as some family members have no problem slaughtering villages in their wake.

* TooHotForTV: Of a sort - one of the images a fan posted of Liliana, Marika, and Cornelia was removed (and the poster given a three day suspension) due to sexualization of a minor (Liliana and Marika are over the age of majority in the story, but in the image, they are both around 14-15 and are strategically position to protect Cornelia's modesty, as she is wearing a cape and nothing else. Also, they're wearing the ''very revealing'' uniforms that Luciano Bradley gave them).

* TheSociopath:{{Implied|Trope}}. While Schneizel hasn't shown any obvious signs of sociopathy, one of his traits, Heart of Ice, causes him to treat all social links as being five ranks lower than they are for the other end of the link (to put things into perspective, Social Links start to provide bonuses at Rank 4; Schneizel only gets bonuses starting from ''Rank 9'').

* TheSociopath: Schneizel is still this, and it has an effect in story, too - he treats all social links as being five ranks lower than they are for the other end of the link.

* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: In this timeline, John F. Kennedy is a Britannia count, and married Marilyn Monroe. The latter is an advisor to Princess Guinevere.
