Code Geass R1 RPG

Appearance: In an alternative timeline, the world is divided into three superpowers (similar to the world of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell): the Holy Britannian Empire (the Americas; also called Britannia), the Chinese Federation (Asia), and the Europa United (Europe and Africa). The story takes place after the Holy Britannian Empire's conquest of Japan on August 10, 2010, a.t.b., by means of Britannia's newest weapon, the "Autonomous Armored Knight," or "Knightmare Frame." In turn, Britannia effectively strips Japan and its citizens of all rights and freedoms and renames the country Area 11, with its citizens referred to as Elevens.

The point of divergence for this timeline appears to be that during the reign of Elizabeth I, though the queen remained unmarried and bore a son (the fictional ancestor of the Britannian Emperors, Henry IX). However, several alternative timelines exist in the Code Geass universe, and the point of divergence may differ between each. The most common point of divergence in all timelines is in the Code Geass universe, with Julius Caesar's invasions of Britain between 55 and 54 BC ending in failure when the British Celts united under Alwin the First. They forced the Romans out and established the First United British Kingdom in 54 BC, which became the first year of the Britannian Calendar (1 a.t.b, first year of Ascension Throne Britannia, with 55 BC as 1 b.t.b., the first year Before Throne Britannia). While other Roman invasions had been followed, by 43 a.t.b.(12 BC) Britannia was recognized as an independent kingdom by the Roman Empire. As such, while many events in the Code Geass universe share similar dates with actual history, in truth they take place about half a century earlier (as with the French Revolution of 1789 a.t.b., or 1734 AD). Almost all timelines share a version of the Geass Order/Cult/Directorate, an organization that controls and uses Geass users and abilities and which is heavily involved with the Britannian Imperial Family.

The nightmare itself is approximately 4-5 meters tall. Knightmare Frames often have a humanoid shape and are usually between four and five meters tall, about twice the height of an average main battle tank, giving them a significant height advantage, although not necessarily range advantage. In addition to the standard range of bipedal movement, Knightmare Frames are equipped with Landspinners, self-propelled roller skates attached to the ankles of the machines, which allow them to achieve high mobility and speeds on most terrain. Visual data is gathered through Factsphere Sensors, which have thermographic capability and an array of other data-collection functions which are collated in real-time. Factspheres are commonly protected under a layer of armor which can be retracted to improve system sensitivity. Knightmare Frames are piloted from a cockpit set in the protruding 'hump back' in the unit. The cockpit is a self-contained control center which can be ejected in case of emergency. Although Knightmare heads seem to have no real function besides housing Factspheres, it seems they are required to pilot the Knightmare, as seen when a pilot ejects himself when his life in danger and the Knightmare's head is knocked off.

⭐The Sutherland (サザーランド, Sazārando) is a fifth generation Knightmare Frame which was developed and deployed some time after the conquest of Japan/Area 11. Designated as the "RPI-13 Sutherland", it is in many ways an effective refinement of its predecessor, the RPI-11 Glasgow. The Sutherland is shown to be the mainline mass production Knightmare of Britannia's military forces throughout the series, and is seen during most, if not all, major battles. Later in the series, a large majority of Sutherlands are replaced by the higher performance Gloucester, and even further by the mass production 7th generation Knightmare Frame, Vincent Ward. However, there are still a significant number of Sutherlands which are shown to remain in active service with the military, most likely due to its reliable and effective design.Being one of the first in the 5th generation of Knightmares, the Sutherland features a completely redesigned, simplified cockpit system with improved life support functions and better user interface controls. As well as general performance upgrades, the Landspinner Propulsion System was greatly enhanced, refined for higher speeds, and better stability when in combat. Most of the Frame's body was also completely redesigned, such as adding more additional armor plates (known specifically as "L307 Reinforced Tungsten metal" plating) reshaped in order to better increase the pilot and unit's protection. The head was also simplified, incorporating a unique somewhat humanoid appearance with built-in eyes, although still retaining the same Factsphere Sensor system as seen on the Glasgow. Storage compartments were also added in the shape of hip guards, which are seen holding small equipment like Chaos Mines. Furthermore, the Sutherland's has a unique, though unconventional, blue/purple main body color with a grey secondary trim. This shade of military blue/purple would become adapted with the Empire's future mass-production models, such as the RPI-212B Vincent Ward.Furthermore, the Sutherlands introduction brought in a number of new weapons and technologies, such as cockpit mounted Stattel-Waffen Missile Launchers, EM Jousting Lances, Stun Tonfas (an upgraded version of the already existing Tonfa weapon but with an added stun gun which electrifies the metal baton) and the aforementioned Chaos Mines. Most army Sutherland units are equipped with either an Assault Rifle or Giant Cannon rocket launcher, which was also redesigned to be fired more like a traditional bazooka weapon. All of the above-mentioned weapons would see continued use with future developed Knightmare Frames.

⭐The fifth-generation RPI-209 Gloucester (グロースター Gurōsutā) is a remodeled Sutherland with focus on close combat. Ordinary models are painted a flat, dull purple, but a few ranked-officers units are known to be custom painted. For example, Guilford's and Darlton's units sport a more vibrant deep-purple color scheme, while the elite Glaston Knights mostly retain the standard colors except for their shoulders and the sides of the head, which are blue. The cape on standard-model Gloucesters are a muted dark blue-grey, while those of Guilford, Darlton, and the Glaston Knights are more navy-blue. Following the failure of Zero's Black Rebellion, the Gloucester replaces a majority of the Sutherlands as Britannia's mainline Knightmare, while maintaining its high performance unit status.Featuring enhanced hand-to-hand capabilities, in addition to standard Sutherland equipment, the Gloucester also uses a large jousting lance and, to further draw into a medieval knight's motif, is occasionally draped in a cape. Cornelia, her knight Guilford, and the Glaston Knights habitually equipped capes to their units, though Andreas Darlton did not. The unique lance, dubbed as the "EM (Electromagnetic) Jousting Lance", incorporates a set of expanding prongs on four sides that makes possible to trap and disarm enemy weapons. Combined with the Gloucester's high mobility, this fearsome weapon can be used to penetrate right into an enemy Knightmare's cockpit, killing the pilot and preventing him from escaping via the standard ejection system.During the Area 18 campaign, several Gloucesters were equipped with sand panels similar to those used by the Z-01 Lancelot in the Battle of Narita. Furthermore, it can be fit with an optional Float Unit backpack, consequentially changing the machine designation to RPI-209FA Gloucester Air (グロースター・エア, Gurōsutāea).

⭐The Lancelot (ランスロット, Ransurotto), named after the Knight of the Round Table, is an experimental Knightmare Frame developed by Lloyd Asplund and the Advanced Special Envoy Engineering Corps (ASEEC), the special division of the Camelot Military Engineering Corps. It is the first seventh generation Knightmare Frame ever fielded. The Lancelot outperforms most other models thanks to the heavy amount of Sakuradite scattered throughout its frame as well as in its Yggdrasil Drive, the Core Luminous. As it is still in development, the Lancelot lacks an ejection seat. Its pilot is Suzaku Kururugi.As a high-performance unit, the Lancelot features a large number of experimental and innovative devices not yet found on its predecessors. The Lancelot features two retractable Factspheres affixed on its chest, two forearm-mounted beam shields (Blaze Luminous), and four Slash Harkens (two on its wrists and two on its hips). These Slash Harkens have experimental thrusters called Harken Boosters which can improve their speed and allow them to change direction midflight. It also sports a pair of Maser Vibration Swords (MVS), which oscillate at a high rate to cut through almost anything. It comes equipped with a VARIS particle rifle (Variable Ammunition Repulsion Impact Spitfire) which can adapt its projectile repulsion output to any situation.

⭐The Akatsuki Mass Production Model (暁, Akatsuki) is the Black Knights' standard Knightmare Frame model in the second season following their exile from Japan. They are given to the Black Knights as a show of support from India, where they were manufactured. The Akatsuki is in many ways an evolution of the Gekka rather than a completely new design, and though their frames are visually similar, the Akatsuki's primary distinguishing features are the simplified head and shoulder armor presumably for ease of production. It is silver with a green tinge, and can be fitted with an Air Glide System, consequentially receiving the denomination of Type-05/F2D Akatsuki Mass-Production Flight-Enabled Version.Its primary armaments are a single Slash Harken on the left side of its chest and a simplified version of the Katen Yaibatou shaped more like a baton with a blade extending from the top. For ranged combat, it comes standard with two machine cannons built into the shoulders at its disposal. Optionally, it can also equip a 2-barrel version of the Gekka's Custom Hand Gun, a bazooka, or (in more rare instances) the same Radiation Wave missiles normally seen on the Command Model. The Air Glide Wing unit also comes with integrated missile launchers.

⭐The Guren Mk-II (紅蓮弐式, Guren' Nishiki) was a prototype Knightmare Frame model designed by Indian engineer Rakshata Chawla, manufactured by Japan, and built by the Kyoto House. It is radically different from its Britannian counterparts, and its technology is on par with most seventh generation Knightmare Frames, a fact that is a source of pride for its manufacturers. The only existing unit is in the possession of The Order of the Black Knights and is piloted by Kallen Kozuki.Developed from the prototype Guren Type-01 model, the Guren Mk-II's design and specifications are significantly different from the more common Britannian platform of which Knightmare Frames are usually built upon. For one, it does not appear to house any visible form of Factsphere Sensor, a component which is crucial for gathering tactical data, and which previous Knightmares have been heavily reliant on. Additionally, the Landspinner Propulsion System (renamed as the "Kou Kisou Kudourin-type" of Landspinners) is also noticeably different, as, instead of the traditional two motors being placed onto the sides of both feet, they are built as part of the legs themselves, which can make them less likely to being destroyed or rendered disabled. Unlike Britannian-made Knightmare cockpits, the Guren Mk-II features an unconventional style of Cockpit, in which the pilot seat is shaped in the form of a motorbike seat with the controls and user interface placed directly in front of the pilot, although despite being drastically different it still maintains an emergency Cockpit Ejection System. When not in use, the Guren Type-02 is placed into "Standby mode", in which the head retracts into the center chest. Appearance wise, the Mk-II is almost identical to the Type-01, re-using the armor and body parts, with the main color being a vibrant red although instead it has with light orange parts as its secondary color.The Guren Mk-II's main weapon is its silver right hand. The hand stands out from the otherwise red-painted mech, terminating in sharp clawed fingers, and it can extend at the base of the elbow for a surprise attack. Stored within the palm of this large hand is the Radiant Wave Surger (輻射波動, Fukushahadō lit. radiation surge), a powerful microwave radiation emitter. By grabbing onto an enemy Knightmare and activating the emitter, the Guren Mk-II can fry the Frame's electronics and heavily warp the frame itself, not only rendering the unfortunate machine completely un-salvageable, but often disabling the pilot's ejection system, usually ensuring that the pilot will perish with its craft. While not designed as such, the Radiant Wave Surger can also use radiation waves for defense as well as attack. It has been shown to block the EM Lances of enemy Knightmares, deflect bullets from Knightmare Assault Rifles, stop incoming Slash Harkens, and can even deflect a shell from the Lancelot's VARIS Rifle. The arm is destroyed however during the Battle of Tokyo, but it is replaced with a slimmer, three-fingered version in the beginning of the second season. The later Gekka models and their iterations were based upon the Guren's technology, using the frame as a basis for development. Aside from its Fukushahadō, the Guren Mk-II possesses a small fork knife, a machine-cannon on its left arm, and a single Slash Harken mounted on the left side of its chest. It is also equipped with a Chaffsmoke dispensing system, which is located in its back cockpit. The Guren Mk-II's speed and pure strength can easily match that of the Lancelot's, also a highly advanced seventh generation Knightmare, and the two machines have engaged each other in battle numerous times. However, Its lack of long-range weapons make it more of a close-combat model suited for a defensive position when in combat, although Kallen's skill in piloting can make it a formidable offensive weapon.
