Epic shoulder pad guy, huge-ass forehead kid, and that delicious gay boy who is filled with carmel

[starryburst.livejournal.com]

We all know that they have some sort back-story behind them. What is it, exactly?

 

I know this sound a bit strange, but I've been aching to discuss this really bad. Shall we?

Soooo, both Charlie and candy boy gained their Geass (Geasses?) from V.V.

I obviously think it's fair to say that Charles received it first, and when he was reasonably young too (a long time ago) considering that he calls Fivehead “nii-san”. Rolo apparently got his many, many years later, and a very young age as well (they showed him killing expertly at six; they must have been training the kid before).

One of my main questions is as to why Rolo recived a Geass.

V.V, at the time, still had his dear Charles at his side, whom was thriving at the throne, and had no need for any more contractors. So, this leads me to believe that Charles influenced who V.V. handed out a contract to. But why Rolo?

The most likely scenario is that he was just a Britannian orphan they picked up off the street and went, “Dude, let's make him an epic assassin lol.”, so they gave him a Geass.

I had almost thought for a few moments that Rolo might actually be the son of the Emperor (that would make LelouchxRolo incest for real, lawl) whom was birthed from a wife he had sometime between the birth of Lelouch and Nunally, but I immediately dismissed the idea because it would be all like, “What? Where was he during their whole childhood? They should have at least known he existed.” Well, Charles could have been horrified with his son's defenseless dewy-eyed uke-ness, so he sent him away for training with a Geass, so Rolo could one day become a knife-wielding, unfeeling, hardcore shota.

Since I think it's pretty clear that he (may) not be Charles's kid (Sunrise does have a way with making everyone related somehow, though), just dumping such a sacred power on a random little kid would be kinda strange, right? Even for the sake of assassination? If Rolo has one, and is working for the throne, it makes me wonder whether or not there are other Geass assassins, or if Rolo is the only one. Don't you think if there were other Geass assassins, they would all have to have something... I don't know, special?

Either way, it still brings me back to the question: Why did V.V/The Emperor desire to give Rolo a Geass?

Lkdjkljdsjkgdsf; this is so confusing, I hope the above post made some sort of sense. Your opinions?

Also, do you ever get that feeling that you just didn't do enough research, and the answer is really obvious, and you just know you'll feel REALLY stupid when someone points it out?

Also, first post-thing in comm. Hi guys. 8D

my crack!theory about Rolo is that he is Nunnally's twin XD
...then again, Marianne seemed to be planning things with Charles, at least she knew much more than what it seems.
But Marianne would not separate a child from her, so they either make her think the boy had died at birth, or they told him he was a very sick and then took him away, eventually telling her he died.

THAT would be awesome, especially when/if he goes berserk :D

Lawlz. I always though Rolo looked like a boy-version of Nunnally.

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

and Lelouch is so dense he doesn't notice it! Rolo is almost as girly as Lulu, they must be related >:P

He could have been a test-tube baby that Marianne didn't know about.

Hmmm, I never even considered that possibility, but woah, that theory would be epic if it was true. Haha... FULL ON INCEST, NOT EVEN HALF! *shutsup*

Oh how I love crack ideas<3

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

Crack FTW!!!

LelouchxNunnallyxRolo OT3 Incest!!

[starryburst.livejournal.com]

OOOHHH YEAHHHH. ;D EXCEPT FOR NUNALLY TOPS.

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

well, of course! I mean, if not for her, then who else?? XD

First time I saw Rolo, I really thought he was Nunnally's twin or something. They do have similar hair color and facial features. Plus, Rolo has somewhat purple eyes too.

And I also thought Nunnally turned into a boy... That was a crazy idea. ^_^

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

my sister thought that too, she was all like "ZOMG Nunnally got a sex change operation!! O__O"

I LOL'ed very hard that day XD

I never thought about that before, but this makes all kinds of Strange Sense.

That's what I had in mind too~ When he first appeared, I was like "Hey, he's got Nunally's look - if she's a guy." His purple eyes are exceptionally striking, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's Charles' son. After all, Lulu always said the Emperor wouldn't hesitate using his children as tools.

...and there's also the Clamp illustration of them together. Fore-shadowing anyone?
It seems most of the imperial siblings have purple eyes or variations (with the exception it seems on Clovis)

Exactly~

And I thought they got the purple eyes from Charles, no? O_o Clovis might have gotten it from his mother, then.

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

yes, I think they got the eyes from the emperor ^__^
