Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

[X] Seven

Because it lets us activate our excellency when doing literally anything not under duress.
 
[X] Zero (empty, and yet holding infinite possibilities)

It's probably not as mechanically good as Seven, but to me it pretty much represents Lelouch perfectly. To come from nothing and yet strive to accomplish so much.
 
You can make a new Stunt if you like, to regain more motes. The next roll is another Intelligence+War to see how well you do against Britannia.

Also, I found another half-finished Oramus Charmset: most are inspirations for the Charms we already have, but what do you think of the Firmament ones?

Part of me wants to go with Seven just for the mechanical benefits, but I have to admit this has too much draw. We can factor seven into our plans easily enough in other ways.
 
Well, somewhat, but I am serious. Invictus describes Leuchars the best, and, paradoxically enough "Or am us adores rebelion" and our excellency enhances actions that defy conventions. Can you think of a better act of defiance for a Green Sun Prince than to call himself Invictus?

It is a trolly name, but it's completely IC.

Then we'll establish a group of seven knights to protect us, with the last one being our adviser in the matters of war. Who will be us. :p
 
On tangential associations with seven: Seven times zero is zero. Seven minus seven (seven against / rebelling against seven) is also zero.

But I still prefer Invictus.

I really doubt Lelouch is brash/arrogant enough to proclaim himself 'Invincible' literally as his rebellion gets off the ground. Particularly since his them here seems to be overcoming the impossible.
And I will freely admit I'm biased against giving ourselves latin titles unless the setting calls for latin or the title is somewhat obscure while being badass.

Edit: And I'm assuming it will be pretty hard to rally poor oppresed Japanese people with a name as blatantly foreign as 'Invictus'

So, unrelated to the current vote, but I had an epiphany. Unless Mao is somehow radically different from canon Mao (like being Exalted, which I seriously doubt because it seems probable to me that Geass is incompatible with an Exaltation) then if he ever tries to use his Geass on Lelouch as his strategy he'll be fucked over for it.

Why? Assumption of Mu. Mao's Geass reads minds. It reveals information about those in range. It essentially asks "what is this person thinking" and gives Mao the information. So, what will the answer be for Lelouch? Something he's not thinking. Could be anything really, because the 'question being asked' so to speak is completely vague - his power doesn't ask "what move is Lelouch thinking of making" when they're playing chess, it's just asks what all of Lelouch's current surface thoughts are and gives Mao the information. And there are two ways this could really end up...

1. His Geass gives him a stream of thoughts that aren't what Lelouch is thinking at all, and are just kind of random and bizarre.

*Mao gets in range*
I am not thinking about pancakes.
M: "I... what?"
I am not thinking that Britannia is awesome.
L: "Hmmm? Knight to H3."
I am not thinking that Mao would look fantastic in a dress.
M: "WHAT!? OF COURSE I'D LOOK FANTASTIC IN A DRESS! C.C. dressed me in them all the time! Er... I mean..." *blushes*
L: "...ok? Checkmate."

2. His power is constantly active, and feeds him the information live. If someone got out of his range mid-thought the info would stop there. We know that thinking of multiple solutions at once doesn't really work - he gets all of your solutions that you thought of and the one you decided on as the information. However, we know there's a limit to how many thoughts he can handle at once because being in a crowded place affects him badly. This may merely be psychological, or his brain literally has difficulty processing the information.

It may be the case that here Assumption of Mu treats his question as being asked repeatedly for every possible moment of time down to the planck second. In this case he gets an answer every planck second, effectively bombarding him with complete or partial things that Lelouch is not thinking at the time the question is being asked. If it gives the complete answer, then he's effectively being bombarded with what amounts to infinite information, at which point he'd probably either lose it or his brain would simply force him into a coma from information overload. Even if he didn't he still would have to parse through the infinite information to figure out what Lelouch is actually thinking, which would be difficult as hell. If it's only partial, it would probably give him nothing but an infinite amount of gibberish, meaning he'd probably hear annoying static white noise in his head when around Lelouch.

This I need to confirm: Geass is incompatible with Exaltation. For any Exaltation: it reads as Mutation.
