I will become God-King of the World! [Exalted/Code Geass] (DEAD)

Uh, I just realized something. Guys? A little help:

How a Stunt affect "Mob Dispersing Rebuke"? It increase the difficulty? Or it removes successes? I can't find a reference.
 
As far as I know, there is no reference.

Therefore, it does whatever you and players would decide it does.
 
Fu that.. okay that roll was quite unbelievable good for them.
And well I did not write up a stunt as more dices for us would have been useless.

[X] Mob-Dispersing Rebuke

Power, burning and ephemeral, fills your body. The light increase as intent comes to you.

For a moment you can see an image at the edge of your vision, a vision being created by the shinning corona surrounding you: a legion of knights in ancient Britannian armor, all bearing a stylized Sun upon their shields while their other hands wield any sort of weapon, from lances to swords to warhammers. And then it fades. The light, while continuing to shine, does not project anymore images.

You look at the soldiers with every single digit of dignity and defiance of your most magnificent self. Mustering all your anger and hatred of those who dare to oppress others just because of their nationality you speak with a booming voice as you swept one of your hands in a sideward slashing motion.

"BEGONE FROM MY SIGHT!"

You see their eyes widening and color leaving their faces, leaving scared cowards in place of what were well-disciplined soldiers. Then they run away from you as you were a demon straight out of hell, letting go of their weapons and screaming incoherently.

You smirk before picking up one of the abandoned guns and fix it in your belt. "Well...this change things. This change things greatly."

You turn to the girl, planning to give her a proper burial, only to find nothing: her corpse is gone, leaving behind only the pool of blood. A pool that is suspiciously too small considering that it came from an injury to the head.

Before you can reflect on it more there is a whirl of wheels as a Knightmare Frame enter inside the warehouse. From the Frame's speakers comes a feminine voice. "What is a student doing there? And why are you...glowing?" It raises its gun. "Answer me!"

Oh joy, another complication.

As a general rule, when you only describe yourself in your actions "I jump up at the clothsline and use it to run above the gap between the buildings", one-dice stunt. When you describe the opponent and yourself "I grab a handful of sand that I throw in his eyes using the motion to roundhouse-kick him", two-dice stunt.

Three-dice stunts are "awesome", impressive descriptions of actions that you feel that, yeah, that's great. Not necessarily long, as they can be bogged down and be boring then.

Edit: While kinglugia's write in mentions the opponents, it doesn't really do anything with them. So it would be a one-dice stunt.

Edit 2: You can replace "opponent" with "other people".

Edit 3: Lots of edits here... Maybe it should say "descriptions of impressive actions" instead on the third-dice stunt.
 
The notebook said:
"Two-die stunts require that the character interact with the environment in some notable fashion, taking advantage of the scenery that the Storyteller has provided. This can be physical environment or things the character knows about the world, like an enemy's phobias or a lover's favorite flower"
kinglugia's write in mentioned:
"Mustering all your anger and hatred of those who dare to oppress others just because of their nationality"
Addressing the soldiers' actions and tendencies. So I reasoned it counts as a two-dice. But I am fully open to hear your critiques.

Votes are still open for...three hours. I honestly didn't expected you to try to sway the pilot (CG's fans should know who she is), but you are the players and, honestly, I like when you didn't meet my expectations. In the positive ways of course.

Being under the aim of a Knightmare-sized gun normally would be a problem, but you strangely feel calm. Is this strange new powers responsible for that? That golden light...you felt it coming from somewhere outside your body. But there is also a "pool" inside you: you feel that drawing from it will not cause the golden halo to resurface, meaning you can use your new powers without giving them away.

You raise your hands in a non-threating gesture. "Nothing suspicious, I assure you. Say, can we talk face to face? I understand I am in no position to make request, but I am just a britannian student. Beside, it's not as I am standing next to dead soldiers or something, right?"

The pilot seems to think about it before the robot's head nods. "Alright. I'm coming down: don't move."

She is a dark skinned woman with long blueish teal colored hair. The insignia shows she is a Knight, so probably of commoner birth. This make things easier.

She steps down her Knightmare and walks up to you, hand near the sheathed handgun. "Now talk: who are you?"

"Who am I?" You drop your arms and adopt a serious expression, startling her. "Who am I?! I am a soul who is wroth! I am the Harmonious Voice! The Oppression lain upon the Japanese, their massacre,-" You gesture to the civilians massacred by the royal guards. Among them there are many children. "their dehumanization sickens me to my core." She is shaking now, eyes wide as reality comes crashing down on her. Your bring to bear all your authority and presence as a prince and look directly in her eyes. "Look upon this ruined city. Cast your ears to their fearful cries. Their pain, their suffering moves me to action. I can do nothing but stand to aid them. No one that could say that they hold compassion in their heart could do otherwise." You point at her." Stand down and aid me or stand aside! For this must end!"

She falls down on her knees. "I...what I am doing?" She is crying now. "All I wanted was to be a good soldier, to gain the rank of Baroness so that my sons and daughters would be nobles too. When...When I became a murderer!?"

Another victim of Britannia. No, your nation is not at fault. It's all that man's fault. Not anymore: you refuse to let him make anymore victims. You kneel next to her and lift her chin. "What's your name?"

"Villetta. Villetta Nu."

"Stand up Villetta." You help her. "You asked who I am. I told you my mission, but not my name. Listen well, because all I speak is the Absolute Truth!" You raise a hand in a grandiose gesture. "The world thought of me as dead, but they are wrong! For I am Lelouch vi Britannia! The Eleventh Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire! Son of the late Empress Marianne! And I am back to change everything as it should be!"

"Y-Your Highness..!" She takes a step back.

"I was forced into hiding to escape those who murdered my mother. Not terrorists as everyone believe, but other members of the Royal Court who resented my mother for being born a commoner. Yes, just like you Villetta. And yet she became Empress, and yet they still didn't accept her." You mercilessly hammer down the fact, to make her realize what could be her fate with the actual system in place. "And the Emperor,-" You snarl. "-Instead of avenging her decided to look away, to disgrace me and my sister because we were useless. But I am done hiding! I saw what Britannia had become and I realized: this is not the Britannia that I respected, but a twisted mockery where pride left place to hubris and it doesn't count how capable you are, only who your parents are."

You offer her a hand. "Join me Villetta. Join me in my quest for righteousness and justice. To take the throne I deserve. And I promise you-" You smile. "Much more than a flimsy Baroness title will be granted to you with my-no, our victory."

She stares for a few seconds, a thousand emotions swirling behind her eyes, before falling down on one knee. "My life is your to command, Your Highness. Use it as you see fit. I will follow you to hell and back."

You chuckle. "Not to hell, but to the highest points of Heaven itself. Stand up Villetta, First of my Champions."
Villetta Nu joins Lelouch as his new Ally.

"What are your orders My King?" Villetta asks after you and her left the warehouse onboard her Knightmare Frame.

You fiddle with the black king chess piece you picked up earlier. In your other hand there is the radio you stole from the Terrorists.

What will you do?

[] That's the red Glasgow. "The West Entrance!"
[] A different plan (Write-in)
[] Leave the battlefield.
[] Something Else?

For those of you wondering why Villetta sided with Lelouch: it is Canon that her goal was to become a Baroness, that's why she joined the Purist faction. Which is composed of commoners and Numbers haters. In my view this make her less of a fanatical patriot and more of an opportunistic. Solar's mindfuckeries aside, taking Lelouch's side is a high risk-high reward strategy that if successful will make her not only a Baroness, but maybe even a Duchess.

But it's not all there is to it: remember this is an altered CG Universe with Exalted traits, meaning not all (and not everyone) is as in Canon.

We're porbably going to need, War, Performance, and Lore excellency to do this right and proper on both sides.
 
I'm not sure about this but doesn't Appearance Impose External penalties to peoples mental defense values equal to the difference in appearances? Like a 5 vs a 2 drops three successes flat?

I'd like to remind what whole "Playing chess while ordering people around" thing counts as a stunt.
 
nice 9 success of mindfuckery. Even if I am surprised that we only bought 2 success instead of the 4 that we could have bought.
 
It is just me or a lot of people voted for the first post, only to disappear later? Because, I saw it happening before.

Or maybe there is a simple reason and I am not seeing it.
 
[X]"Deception is the heart of warfare, and misinformation is its blood. We shall thwart this atrocity at it heart and in aid of the resistance."
 
Character creation sets the general tone for a quest, so when you lose, that's pretty much kills the urge to read the quest... Or you get a subject you will not read (like Yanderes in my case), which results in the same thing.
