for some reason, i like to check the Geass articles in wiki. just to see if any character info's been updated, mainly the Knights of Rounds, and i stumble upon an update in Luciano's portion.


it mentions how in the light novels, his father was abusive and his mother was an alcoholic and he later killed his father at the age of seven.

now i'm never up to date with novels or whatever, but does anyone know if this is reliable info? i remember someone posting novel translations somewhere here. if i could remember the tag, i would link it but my memory escapes me. so i'm just asking if anyone else has heard or read something similar or possible something that could expand somehow because i'm very interested in the KoRs.


not sure what to tag this as, so i'll just use these and hopefully someone will correct me

If you have a wiki account, you can fiddle with everything.

Conclusion: This is why Lucy is fucked up.

IIRC it is reliable! Or at least, I saw the translation on GameFAQs a week back.

It also included info about Gino's backstory. \o

[haunter]

dirt on Gino?

Spill.

YOU GOT IT this was from the same post on GameFAQs ♥ Which is likely deleted at this point, but lol saved.

". . . Then it passes over to some Gino back story. Gino, at the age of fourteen, fell in love with a Japanese girl that was maid at his family's mansion. He didn't care at their differences, and he tried for the relationship. His family disallowed, the girl was beaten by his father, and then thrown out into the gutters. His family taught him to believe in the noble blood that ran inside him.

He ran away from home at sixteen, enlisted in the Britannian forces, and with his excessive training, was a standout. He became a Knight five months before Suzaku, and was the third newest besides Suzaku and Luciano."

8D

Why are all the Knights so tragic~? >: I bet "Do you have a tragic backstory?" is a question on the application.

It's that and "Does your ass look good in a flight suit?"

*pets Gino*

Btw, you are made of all things wonderful and fetch us delicious morsels of canon. I only wish that Japan would put more characterization in the show itself instead of making people run the rat race of finding 298439 different pieces of side material. Oh well.

[pets him too ;;]

I swear, the only spoiler topic I avoid is the AnimeSuki one in my search for side canon. And that's just because the people tend to make me irrationally angry.

Thanks for sharing! ♥
Gino is definitely one of my favorite characters.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

One of mine too! And no problem |D

[xedosarthea.livejournal.com]

Ooh wow. o:
That's an interesting piece of information. ♥

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

MAY OR MAY NOT BE REAL but yessss I thought it was interesting too, if it is indeed true.

[miribai.livejournal.com]

OMG Gino. I never much cared for him but my heart MELTS now. DAAAAAAAWWWWW.

[able.livejournal.com]

do you think you can point me in the direction to where there you found it /o/ thank you btw for Gino's part. kdjfh poor baby

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

No problem! ♥ And the boards I stalk are the GameFAQs Epic Spoiler posts. (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.php?board=2000121) I just checked and unfortunately the actual thread it was in. . . died, but it looked like it was CP'd from AnimeSuki? Which I avoid like none other h-hahahah.

It's not part of the Sneaker novels.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. . . they didn't mention which novel it was IIRC, but do we call fakity fake fake for now?

[arhel.livejournal.com]

As far as I know it's made up. Both the latest version of the Sneaker novel and the R2 standalone novel were released this weekend (8/30, 9/1). If they were somehow able to obtain translations of these novels a couple of weeks before they were actually published that's a pretty good trick.

New Sneaker novel is about the last generation (Bismarck's) of KoR, and the R2 one would not be narrating past about Ep8 or so of the anime, so neither has reason to mention Luciano at all.

I will be getting both books in a few more days so I can confirm that. As far as I know there are no other novellization projects other than these two series, unless whoever posted the information gives an alternate source.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

I've heard of leaks a couple days in advance for other bits of side canon, but. . . yeah, we'll wait for confirmation then. Sorry for making this into a bigger mess XD;

[arhel.livejournal.com]

Don't need to apologize, it's whoever jumped the gun and decided to start editing Wiki without a verifiable source that's confusing people :P

[leitao.livejournal.com]

Don't know if it's just a mistranslation issue (like someone was saying above?), or just someone messin' with everyone else, but if there isn't a source listed (and the claim sounds pretty questionable, as I think this one is), you would do well to not take it as fact. That's my personal Wiki rule, anyway. XD

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

Damn, that makes Luciano the fucking man!

[fox-holland.livejournal.com]

The fucking dead man!

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

...... Booooo.


...I see what you did there.
