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

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.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

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

[haunter]

Gino definitely fulfills both requirements.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

He most certainly does ♥ The backstory really helps explain his interest in Kallen, though. Particularly his comment to her about how "things would have been easier" if she just claimed to be Britannian.

[haunter]

Yeah. Kinda makes me want to rp him, orz. He'd be so fun~

Gino/Kallen otp WHAT

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

If I wasn't such a Suzakuwhore, I totally would. He's a really interesting character.

IT WOULD BE HOT

[haunter]

I app'd Suzaku somewhere. I had to edit my app like eleven times though, because I app'd him post-19 so my samples were all Crazaku as opposed to Sanezaku... but alas, he did not go as batshit as I wanted. >:

SO HOT. BRB WRITIN IT

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

. . . uhuhuu Crazaku. I AM INTRIGUED.

A+ approved omggg

[haunter]

FFFFFF OMG MY SAMPLE WAS AMAZING. It was all Suzaku screaming at God to kill him and shit. fffffff I had to write a Sanezaku sample and delete the old one, I was mad. Am mad. Hasn't been approved yet. B|

srsly i want to write dirty gino/kallen sex.

oh shit you have a really good point but that also may have double meaning, his back story does explain a lot. So does Luciano, no wonder he's fucked up :X

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

Is there anyone not fucked up in Geass at this point? ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. . .

[strawberrypenis.livejournal.com]

true story! but that's why we love them ♥ I need more dirt/back story

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

yx1000, I love all this horrible backstory ♥ SUZAKU'S MOM PLZKTHX.

*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.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

[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.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

What, you mean rampant character bashing and interminable ship wars piss you off? =P LJ fangirls in general get criticized for being mindless, but man. Compared to everywhere else in this fandom, we's classy peeps.

And I don't think the AS thread is very good for side canon, anyways. Koshimizu is awfully good about magazine spoilers, but the other stuff seems to mainly come from Celiss Galvea and benevolent LJ users. =/

I should start stalking Koda's blog more. She seems to get a bit of trickle-down info, and if I avoid the comment section, I think I can avoid most of the stupidity. >_>

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

. . . y-your icon omg

Yeah, and Koshimizu's stuff usually makes its way to GameFAQs which. . . are still annoying sometimes but nowhere near the level of AS.

—sob comment sections on blogs, they're almost as bad as AS

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

Doofy hat, appear in canon already! You need to be endlessly shooped! =D

I would not mind if this entire fandom disappeared except for Koshimizu, Celiss Galvea, and everyone on Livejournal. >_>

Comment sections on blogs are 4-chan levels of stupid. Except not Anonymous, so there's less of a chance of their being trolls. orz

[meganehina.livejournal.com]

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.

[xedosarthea.livejournal.com]

I hope it's true though. It'd explain a lot why he says those things to Kallen 8D;;

[miribai.livejournal.com]

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