Yeah I imagine the connections that Nathaniel made in the alliance would make for a good foot in the door so to speak as for the ten lords commission I doubt they actually know about the deals and instead are investigating 'disappearances' or mysterious deaths starting with Jingliu's Nathaniel handles it via using Jingliu's body after hee has gleaned all he can from it as even with the mind gone the body is still undergoing Mara and it ends up coming back to life but with no intelligence to guide it and only Jingliu's remaining dregs of skill and memory to draw on.
Right since Jingliu has a brand new MANTIS augmented body now to inhabit. So what they could investigate would be very limited while I imagine Nathaniel bringing able to bring back the dead and such would make them very uneasy, if nothing else considering how they take the laws of life and death seriously.
That's why I voted for her she has enough common sense and experience with dealing with people like Lelouch to knock sense into him at the right time.
Aww adorable cat girl rubbing her luck off on Lulu.
My votes on Tingyun mostly because I wonder how her and Lulu will develop. We don't know a lot about her yet but she was a nice person who tried to live two lives maybe. Fits a teenager who's hidden life is a terrorist.
Qingque's a fun pick to. Mostly because I want to see how she's going to try to goof off. Plus she can chill with the others especially the cat.
True and Lelouch will need someone like for sure too.
Indeed, as much troublesome Pardo can be, she has her useful even when she doesn't mean it sometimes XD.
I agree on Qingque, considering the busy members of the harem, having someone to break that up opens up another dynamic for it, but even if she doesn't join the harem she could provide some chill chapters, especially with Kiana and Pardo.
Since I know Icysnowsage will be awhile before he can offer his two cents, I figured for now I'll move onto assessment part five. I am trying to go in order of appearance these characters might appear in, but these ones aren't clearly certain.
So these the characters whose time to enter the story hasn't been fully decided yet, with the exception of one on this list.
Asta: As I've said before I got no issues between her and Arlan as a couple, and I could default to that still. However, it is worth noting that Asta did rank second beating Serval and Tingyun in my poll, so I believe that says there are a fair number of people who be interested. I can see her and Lelouch becoming friends, the latter applauding her for following her dreams in life than just allowing herself to be made to do what her family wants. However he might take issue with her lack of control on how much she spends, I can see a comical scene in which Asta wants to back Lelouch's rebellion, which the amount might cause his jaw to drop and fearful he couldn't pay her back. Being generally friendly and responsible could add a dynamic to the group, especially the more morally questionable or lazy of the harem, but she has shown to be very clear and sneaky herself, so having someone who could maybe get the better of Lelouch every once in awhile outside of the battlefield might offer its own dynamic and add some interesting moments between them. Otherwise she could be a major backer of the Black Knights.
Fubata Sumeragi: For those not familiar with her, but let me say while I am not against Kaguya Sumeragi joining the harem. However, she might end up joining the harem in my SRW crossover, and I like to try and keep any harems and relationships I do in fanfics to be as a different and unqiue as possible, which usually means avoiding the same ones. However, there is rare opportunity for me to try my hand with a pairing between her and Lelouch. Because unlike Kaguya, she is more in Lelouch's age group than Kaguya is, and I could introduce her much sooner than compared to others if I want. However, there are questions that would need to be addressed with her introduction to see if it would be worth it or not. For one it means deciding on how she ended up as a test subject for Nathaniel, being kept in cryogenic storage as her body was studied and experimented upon, turning it into a MANTIS due to possessing a abnormally high Honkai resistance that drew Nathaniel's attention. One idea is that she and her friends, while serving as
Claire il Britannia Knights after becoming the new Empress at the conclusion of Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya, but there is nothing explaining what happened to Fubata and the others. There are other female characters I could've gone with, but Fubata was the only notable I think that is worth working with unless anyone disagrees. A lingering question too would be those who accompany her to go after a noble trying to assassinate Renya, or maybe succeeded, after he fathers a child with Claire or something since those two were quite close and end up encountering Nathaniel, who kills just about everyone expect for Fubata realizing she had more value alive than dead. But that is just one of potential scenarios I could go with, another is that they found a noble who had been conspiring to overthrow Claire, but their chase ends up leading him to Nathaniel. Her hot headed personality could add some liveliness to the harem, but also she be among those most driven to kill Nathaniel for revenge for the hundreds of years in captivity and being used as a test subject and the death of her friends.
Lin: A quick link for those not familiar with her. Lin I'll admit was a potential candidate I had in mind, partly because given her limit and tragic screen time, opens the door for me to take some liberties with her and giving me a more flexible back up if none of my other pairings with the Honkai Impact characters didn't work out. Even if her time in the series was very brief she was known as a cheerful and optimistic girl with a strong sense of righteousness making her similar to Kiana, but probably minus the slacking off on her studies and such. In the story, her grandfather, Dr. Magi is working for Nathaniel as one of the many spies within Schicksal, in fact his family has been working with Nathaniel as spies for decades within the ranks of Schicksal. As such he could use his connects to have Lin undergo MANTIS augmentations upon learning that Lin wanted to be a Valkyrie, and fearing for his only granddaughter he had her secretly augmented with Lin's knowledge, which comes to a head when Otto secretly has Lin investigated as a test subject, since all of her medical exams were "curiously" overseen by a close associate of Dr. Magi which was unusual causing Otto to investigate when seeking test subjects. When the jig is revealed Dr. Magi flees, and takes an unwilling Lin with him, making Otto think they've fled to Anti-Entropy, but Otto rules them out knowing there was no one who was capable of melding Honkai genes with human genes so perfectly. Lin is less than pleased about what her grandfather had been doing as both a spy and what he did to her without her consent even if she understood his reasons for that one. I could see her joining Lelouch's group as a friend and ally, and might be among those who encourage Lelouch to attend St. Freya Academy and serve as another moral compass with her sense of righteousness to drive him to use his abilities to help humanity instead of purely seeking vengeance against Britannia. Its only a question if she would fall in love with him enough to join his harem.
Yuna:
For those who don't know the character given her limited appearance. In the series Yuna was a student at the same school Mei and Kiana went to, here that role would remain largely unchanged, being a kind and sociable girl who ends up becoming a Herrscher, but was killed by Theresa before the process could happen. Now given what has been revealed about so called Herrscher personas, I am thinking the same thing happens, Yuna begins absorbing Honkai energy beginning to become a Herrscher, but Lelouch and the others intervenes helping her retain control of herself.
IahIahShipping and I talked about her, but I wanted to give everyone else a chance to offer any comments or thoughts on her being a potential harem member for Lelouch since like Lin she has a lot of opportunities for certain liberties to greatly expand upon her character and be adapted into the story as needed providing a good deal of flexibility. I am thinking before the Honkai Eruption in Nagazoa happens, Lelouch and Yuna meet while traveling with one of the others to meet up with Kiana, but end up helping Yuna and be friendly her, which gives Lelouch the means to help calm her down and keep control of herself. Joining the group she wouldn't be a full Herrscher yet, but the others including Lelouch would help her adjust and adapt. Beyond that is anyone's guess really.
Milly Ashford: It was inevitable she would be talked about, but she and Lelouch would meet how they did in canon,
here is the link for those who haven't heard it. Only she would meet Elysia, Kiana and others too creating a very...colorful first meeting to be sure. Their relationship would be the same, but due in part to Nathaniel's actions in the early chapters while the group was away from Earth, Ashford Academy includes Valkyrie-like training. Their relationship might be the same, but god help Lelouch if he finds out he has Seele, Bronya Rand, Elysia and others eyeing him. It would drive Lelouch to skip school much more often to get away from that insanity XD. Still what will change is when Nina goes full on Herrscher, and when she attacks a ghetto, causing another who became a Herrscher to attack Ashford Academy causing a brawl between Nina and the new Herrscher to erupt forcing Elysia and the others to get involved, which will force them to escape to Honkai Earth as things get out of hand. Milly with the others would join St. Freya becoming the Student Council president and offering her own brand of student activities to the academy...need I say more. Now Milly would no doubt be the most open to the harem, but since the number of how many should be in the harem is tightly limited, she'll be a case of time will only tell.
Ok, its your turn.
