Milly: Oh so many new costume and party ideas!
Lelouch: Milly No.
Milly: Milly Yes.
Kyubey ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼: It's so good to meet you all, I've even spotted a good new candidate on campus. It's a young blind girl in a wheelchair. She will be a perfect match fo- 'GACK!'
Lelouch: Touch Nunnally and I will rend your soul and essence to pieces in such a manner that even the Yozi will cringe in horror!
Malfeas, Oramus, and TED... I would not put it past him to come up with something that actually could accomplish such.

Of course Kyubey would misunderstand the situation given the limited information and dig his own grave even harder.
Kyubey: Ah you intend to take the girl as a slave-concubine and wish her unspoiled, I understand. I can find you some similar maidens or ensure ones you desire end up in similar condition in repayment for my error, Great Fiend.
Milly: Wow, how could something so smart be that stupid?
Lelouch: (even deadpan tone).......I'm going to start hurting you now. I'm honestly not sure when I'm going to stop.
I know what's Oramus's first countermove.
Introduce her to his ponies.
Not too hard.
Compassion opposes evils and injustice. The greatest evils are committed by those who are certain that they are doing the right thing. The world is miserable and ruled by selfinterest. To be that which the world is not, he must invert his stance.
Darkness shelters and hides. It protects from persecution and revenge. It is the power of Forgiveness of past sins.
It is the power of evil things done to evil people. Is there any less concetrated an evil?(At this point Eddy goes to beg SWLIHN for a Cosmic Transcendence installation)

Oramus's ponies are basically going to royally enable Isla and that's magical.
Eh, that is a matter of opinion. I'd rather their presence be as minimized as possible.

TED: "Are you willing to do horrible things to people in exchange for power?"
Akio: "Sure!"
TED: "Very well. Take my powers."
More of less. Plus, Oramus may have done something impossible...
TED: "Why did I suddenly feel like someone stepped on my non-existent grave?"
Seyrun: You don't need to. Stop I mean. That's just a First Circle after all. Although, it would leave no time at all for the important stuff.
Lelouch: So?
Seyrun: So Malfeas is full of methods to torture someone forever. Let's order one that is automatic.
Kyubey: Oh my...
Don't worry at most, they're gonna be mentioned once or twice.

Okay, properly back from time away. I've had some replies building up inside.
Cost: (Varies)
Mins: Essence 4
Type: Simple
Keywords: Innovative
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms:
Tales tell of an exceptionally kind-hearted Green Sun Princess who was deceived by The Ebon Dragon into supporting the reclamation. To his surprise, when the ugly truth about the Yozi came to light, her loyalty burned even stronger and she announced her intent to teach TED to be compassionate.
This charm costs the user 12 motes. Alternatively, the target of this charm can choose to pay 2wp, in which case the user pays nothing and receives 1 mote if they have space in their peripheral pool.
The target of this charm receives 3 additional dice to their next action (treated as Specialty dice) so long as it is towards something that both user and target share a negative intimacy for. If the user paid the mote cost of this charm, both gain a temporary Compassion Channel that lasts until the end of scene. This Compassion channel may be applied to an action applicable for the specialty dice granted by this charm. No more than 1 temporary Virtue Channels can be gained per scene.
It is said that when the Ebon Dragon heard of her creation, he scoffed and called her foolish for thinking he would ever choose to burden himself when another could readily pay the cost for him. The Infernal girl simply smiled, for she knew it was within the nature of the Ebon Dragon to betray even his own nature.

Kyubey really should have known better than to make that comment about Nunnally in front of her brother. Mentioning that killing it was pointless because of the Kyubey hive mind was even less helpful.
This charm may be used on any target with a hive mind. The user may give a command to the target, and as long as that target is still alive, all members of that Hive Mind are compelled to obey as UMI. The Hive mind may allow individual members to resist at a cost of 1wp per individual, however any member of the hive mind who is resisting or unable to attempt to fulfill the command must also take 2 bashing damage.
Not really. In the very post you quoted, I mentioned people who would turn on their loyalties for personal gain. Mainly the point was that although the culmination of Lelouch's journey (and in part, the current reclamation plan) lies in the highest echelons of Britannian Society, due to him faking his death, there aren't any GSPs properly placed to really actively play a role in intrigue there. It's like starting a plan to raise Atlantis, but your only SCUBA diver is in a wheelchair. The suggested Britannian would likely owe fealty to Britannia (and would like have the 'Oathbound' flaw at a lower level eg. "Cannot be caught doing something that betrays Britannia"), but would be exactly the sort of schemy backstabber that you'd expect to find in the Britannian Royal Court.
Best Idea.
Best execution.
Hmm. Pairing her up with one of our more diplomatic Fiends would be an excellent choice. A Fiend and a Twilight can trade charms back and forth, and a silver-tongued one would mesh well with her worldview. Someone suggested pairing Isla up with the Emerald Strix, but I'm actually thinking of my other Infernal.
Later...
Isla: "You lied to me, Ebby."
TED: *is smug* "Yes, yes I did."
Isla: "But I'm not mad. I know you can't help it. It's what you are." *eyes burning with compassion and purpose*
TED: "Isla... why are you looking at me like that?"
Isla: "I'm going to fix you, Ebby."
TED:
Oramus:rofl:
Even Later...
TED: "GAH! What is this horrible feeling!? It's... GAH! IT HURTS!"
Lelouch: "Did Isla succeed in her project to give you the Virtue of Compassion? It appears so. I believe what you're feeling right now is called 'guilt'."

Oh, and just wait until Isla learns about this Charm from the Book of Ten Thousand Scorpions:
Twilights are the SCIENCE!/crafting Solars. You may be thinking of the Eclipse caste.

Darn. That would have been cool. I am a tad bit tired, methinks. Still, a Friendly Solar means a Fiend can learn from them if need be. Very useful.

Fun fact, the literal Hungarian translation to of the word magical girl is varázslány.
Also I noticed a lot Hungarian words in relation to Yozi. Was it intentional from White Wolf?

well this is interesting, we now have an infernal who for sure knows about the great curse, and is exactly the kind of person who would want to do something about it. I suspect the curses nature of hiding itself will make it much less likely she will be believed, but she's already convinced at least one solar about the existence of the great curse.

Rather than make up weird sounding names like Sheshima or Lokliholma or even "Wuxia" names like Five Descending Rains, they just picked up names from European countries. Adrian and Adorjan are actual names, for example.

Which sound funny/weird for me.
Calling a Primordial Adroján, is almost like calling him? Robert.(Adorján is a male name.)
BTW I find gendered pronouns a nuisance.

So, I have an idea for a Ta'akozokan Defiler. Basically, an inventor who figured out how to produce...something that a lot of people want cheaper, only to have one of his fellow researchers steal the credit for it and get away with it because they're richer than him. Now, he wants to be as rich as possible so no one can use wealth as a weapon against him again. Now, I realize that the idea needs works, so I would like to formally reserve the final Defiler and Ta'akozoka slots.
@Alexander89, is this alright with you?
@Alexander89, is this alright with you?
I will note that the "friend stealing credit for making a better version of X" backstory is already present for Nathan, who is also a Defiler. Maybe have a competing company squash his idea with wealth instead - they use money to bribe politicians and run a smear campaign against him because they feel threatened that his product will steal their market share, or something?

You have a point. I really wouldn't want to repeat myself as well.
Very well, thank you for the idea Enjou. I'll use it. That seems like something that would trigger a desire for wealth, which would attract the money squid's attention.
Hmmm, I wonder if the Code Geass world has a version of Nikola Tesla? Nina is the local Einstein, both literally and figuratively. Maybe have a version of the Edison fucking over Tesla story.

Yes, yes, you must make Infernal!Tesla! He was already a mad scientist!

Hmm...yes, I like it! An inventor who got shortchanged by a CEO who used his greater finances to smear the inventor while making lesser-quality knock-offs of his inventions, or had his ideas rejected because the CEO couldn't make money off of them. He eventually has enough, and comes to the idea that if he had enough money, he could produce his inventions himself, and tries to go it alone. He fails, and then a demon appears, making an offer he can't find it in him to refuse.
I think I'll make him native to either the Chinese Federation or the European Union. I think those countries would be sufficiently...not disdainful, but let's go with 'impatient'. They both have to go against two of the superpowers of the world, Brittania and the unchosen faction, so it's natural that they'd pay less attention to non-military technologies in favor of things that would give them an edge against Brittania. This, coupled with an CEO with no or few scruples, gives an explanation of why something like this could occur. Now, I wonder if there are any Merits that can increase Attributes like that Font of Compassion Merit Isla had.
