History Roleplay / SemperAdMeliora

* FlawedPrototype: The Gawain is still this. Lelouch obtains it at the end of the eighth year of the RP as a favor from Schneizel.

** ''Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled'': Jeanne Rowe is Lelouch's learning advisor. [[spoiler:Ashley is mentioned in Turn 9 as one of Kallen's subordinates]].
** ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection'': [[spoiler:Sofia is mentioned in Turn 9 as one of Kallen's intended recruits]].

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Lelouch gets hit with this - his handling of Kallen's family situation ([[NotHisSled which involves her father rather than her mother this time around]]) is far more delicate and personally involved than it was in canon, plus there's the fact ''he personally gets involved with it in the first place''.

* 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.

* CrazyAwesome: Greta Romano, Leouch's Admiral. She managed to use a skeleton shift of guards to commandeer a pirate destroyer, convince them to wipe each other out, then finished off the survivors using ''[[NoKillLikeOverkill naval cannons]]'', as they were considered ''Hostis Humani Generis'' and therefore outside the protection of the law. Whilst her actions were...[[ObligatoryWarCrimeScene brutal]], even the posters couldn't deny how awesome they were.

* MagnificentBastard: Lelouch is one, as in canon, but he also has one for a subordinate - Greta Romano. See her mention under CrazyAwesome above for the details.

* FriendlyFandoms: The characters from the story ''FanFic/CodesAndGeassEmbracingYourInnerMegalomania'' occasionally chime in in the comments with their observations.

* AdaptationalBadass: Lelouch, at the very least, is a bit more skilled in using a Knightmare Frame in this universe. That being said, he's nowhere near the best pilots on the show - Kallen beat him in an offscreen battle.

* InSpiteOfANail: Despite all of hte butterflies that Marianne surviving caused, some things have remained the same.

* 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]].

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

* 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.

* TheExile: The Smajority 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]].

* RulingFamilyMassacre: The Emblem of Blood, or how the Emperor ascended to the throne is seen as this, although details are vague it has been implied in canon omakes that the conflicts were quite violent and vicious

** Lelouch once again ends up with Sayoko in his services. This time, though, he also has the support of ''her enter shinobi clan''.

* {{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]].

* {{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).

* MagnificentBastard: Lelouch is one, as in canon, but he also has one for a subordinate - Greta Romano. See her mention under CrazyAwesome above for the details.

* ForWantOfANail: A lot of things have happened that radically altered the timeline:
** Marianne was never assassinated, and her children never exiled to Japan. Amongst other things, this means that Lelouch and Suzaku never met.
** 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.
*** Additionally, his gentler handling of her family situation [[RelationshipUpgrade causes her to confess her feelings to him.]]
** Since Marianne is still alive, the Ashfords never fell from grace.

* MagnificentBastard: Lelouch is one, as in canon, but he also has one for a subordinate - Great Romano. See her mention under CrazyAwesome above for the details.

** A few years into the quest's timeline, Lelouch manages to gain the aid of Kaguya Sumeragi. No word on if she's falling for him, though.

* FriendlyFandoms: The characters from the story "Codes and Geass: Embracing Your Inner Megalomania" occasionally chime in in the comments with their observations.

** Either V.V. does not exist or decided not to kill Marianne, as the latter is still alive and her children are still living in Pendragon.
