Apologies if this is too random...

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Fifteen episodes past, and we've gained reasonable estimates of the main cast's personalities and skills. Therefore, I offer a discussion/contest of characters in a slightly different style.

Zombie Survival.



As we all know, it's impossible to survive alone in a zombie-infested world unless you're Leon S. Kennedy, so the cast are now devided into groups of two to four. Zombie infections follow the usual rules of thumb here, and it's spread everywhere. Transportation, including royal and military, are overran. Knightmare Frames are offline. Can the Code Geass cast survive this nightmare!?

The people, listed like Capcom would :

Team Childhood Friends
*this team starts in the Ashford Academy school building
Lelouch Lamperouge
Pros : Comes equipped with a pistol, seems capable of defending himself passably when provided with a melee weapon, extremely quick thinking. Can Geass living people into being human shields. Leadership qualities. Will protect Nanaly at all costs.
Cons : Relatively low stamina. Tends to panic when Plan A fails, and rarely has a Plan B. Will likely feud with Suzaku on the ethical/moral conundrums of Zombie Survival Techniques. Will protect Nanaly at all costs. Has extremely weird logic circuits.
Kururugi Suzaku
Pros : Extremely capable in close-quarters (and possibly ranged) combat. Comes equipped with a pistol. Has extremely quick reactions. Will protect everyone at all costs.
Cons : Also likely to protect people who's been infected with Zombie Disease. Likely to feud with Lelouch on the ethical/morals conundrum of Zombie Survival Techniques. Has extremely weird logic circuits.
Nanaly Lamperouge
Pros : Likely capable of lessening any feuds between Lelouch and Suzaku. Has a sane logic circuit.
Cons : Everything else.

Team Student Council
*this team starts in the Ashford Academy Student Council
Millay Ashford
Pros : Can keep her cool in critical situations. Seems capable of defending herself when provided with a weapon. Leadership qualities.
Cons : Is otherwise normal.
Rivalz
Pros : Can drive, it seems. Seems capable of defending himself when provided with a weapon.
Cons : Is otherwise utterly normal.
Shirley Fenetes
Pros : Has shown herself capable of handling a gun at point blank range.
Cons : Cannot hit Lelouch at point blank range. Is utterly normal.
Nina Einstein
Pros : Er. Is smart?
Cons : Tends towards overemotional stupidity when scared. Is easily carried away. Is utterly normal.

Team Black Knights
*as this team starts in their own HQ, they come equipped with various firearms.
Kallen Stadtfeld
Pros : Extremely capable in close-quarters combat. Has extremely quick reactions. Practical and decisive.
Cons : Gullible. Stubborn and tends to override group decisions at times.
Ougi Kaname
Pros : Has a cool head on his shoulders. Is capable in combat. Leadership qualities.
Cons : Is a total softie. Doubts and self-questions a great deal.
Tamaki er something
Pros : Capable in combat.
Cons : Very undisciplined. Most likely in the cast to confirm Murphy's Law.
Diethard
Pros : Has the most up-to-date info on the outbreak. Very enthusiastic.
Cons : Everything else.
(As for the other Black Knights, let's assume they're all turned into zombies)

Team li Britannia
*this team starts in the Area 11 Military Base, i.e. ample resources, many, many armed zombies
Cornelia Li Britannia
Pros : Seems extremely capable in close-quarters and possibly ranged combat. Intensely practical, good at forming battle tactics. Has access to whatever resources Area 11 still has. Leadership qualities. Will protect Euphie at all costs.
Cons : Will protect Euphie at all costs.
Euphemia li Britannia
Pros : Is atheletic. (Anyone who jumps from that window and looks normal doing so should be) Has a good head on her shoulders. Can provide a voice of reason. Leadership qualities.
Cons : Not combat capable. Occasionally take unnecessary risks.
Gilford
Pros : Also very capable in combat. No-nonsense attitude. Leadership qualities.
Cons : Occasionally emotional.
Dalton
Pros : Also very capable in combat. No-nonsense attitude. Leadership qualities.
Cons : None that I can think of, as relates to Zombie Survival.

Team Scientist
*this team starts in the trailer, so they already have defense and mobility.
Lloyd Asblund
Pros : Can probably jury-rig some weapons on the go. Can be ruthlessly practical.
Cons : Might not care that much about the zombies. Head is occasionally in the clouds with the Lancelot. Doesn't seem to be very fit, physically.
Cecile
Pros : Has extremely good head on her shoulders. Is not above violence when necessary.
Cons : Might disagree with Lloyd on the ethics of Zombie Survival.

Team La Britannia
*this team starts in a high-security airbase, as they have recently touchdowned from the Britannia motherland
Clovis la Britannia
Pros : Is already a zombie, so it's not like anything can hurt him. He is friendly, however.
Cons : Everything else.
Schneizel la Britannia
Pros : [This is all guesswork] Extremely intelligent, strategic-minded and quick on his feet. Seems capable of defending himself with firearms. Has access to whatever resources his area still has. Leadership qualities.
Cons : Having a not-too-smart zombie brother leads to all kinds of problems.

Team I Shouldn't Be Alive
*this team has proven themselves nearly indestructible when wounded. Therefore, they're especially resistant to zombie infections and would not be zombified when simply bitten. Who knows where they start?
Jeremiah 'Orange' Gottwald
Pros : Highly capable in combat. Leadership qualities. Comes equipped with a pistol.
Cons : Highly volatile reaction to certain kinds of foodstuffs. Can be said to be mildly deranged. Must never, ever locate Zero.
Viletta Nu
Pros : Highly capable in combat. Good at connect-the-dots. No-nonsense. Comes equipped with a pistol.
Cons : Slightly unstable personality.
Mao
Pros : Can listen to the thoughts of any living person nearby, thus capable of locating and exterminating any would-be zombies. Very useful in negotations with other survivors. Comes equipped with a rifle and a chainsaw.
Cons : Comes equipped with a chainsaw. Is more than mildly deranged. Must never, ever locate Lelouch and/or C.C. One cannot have private thoughts in his vicinity.


C.C. is exempt, because she's a walking cheat device.

So, zombies walk the earth!! Which team is most likely to survive!!? Discuss, and don't forget your daily intake of braiiinnss!! (exclamation marks intentional)

EDIT : Added starting points for all teams, to throw more fuel into the fire.

Brilliance FTW

You know, this extremely amuses me. ^_____^ Add to Shirley she can't shoot Mao either or kill Viletta properly, not to mention the fact she gets all prissy when Lulu hangs up on her. Add to Nina that she is a psycho nutcase who will do anything to meet Euphie. Add to Euphie that she is too soft-hearted and has taken interest in non!Britannian guy-who-happens-to-be-a-number-fighting-in-a-suit. Add to Suzaku that he always ruins the fun by coming in [though I like the Lancelot v. Guren MK II or whatever that's called battle scenes].

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Heh, those are true enough. I think Millay might be able to dissuade Nina from her Euphiemania by painting a mental picture of zombiefied!Green!Gooey!Euphie, though!

Viletta can't be killed due to her superhuman constitution. That's why she's in the crack team. XD

[fathobbit1191.livejournal.com]

ZOMG, Clovis the Friendly Zombie. XD That's just ASKING for some crack fanart.

Well, I think Team I Shouldn't Be Alive has a good advantage over the other teams because of their anti-death powers, and I think that Team Childhood friends would do pretty well (except for when Lulu and Suzaku argue...) because they have combat experience. Nanaly might slow them down, though. I dunno...

But I really don't think Team Student Council will last very long at all, since they have no (known) experience, except for Shirley, but she would probably get freaked out if she had to shoot some one again...

Team La Britannia might have a good advantage, if they use Clovis as a double-agent and send him into the zombie HQ and have him provide Schneizel with zombie info. But I doubt that even with that info, that just two of them would be able to take out all of the zombies. They'd probably have to team up with Team li Britannia and/or Team Scientist to get the job done.

Pretty much, I don't think that any one team will be able to survive without joining up with another team. (Except for Team I Shouldn't Be Alive, maybe.)

Team Childhood Friends and Team Black Knights would probably be a good combo.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

When my brain came up with Clovis, I knew I had to post this. XD

Poor Team Student Council. They are without any advantages whatsoever, and they have Miss I-Scream-In-Crises, to boot. If they're lucky (or not) they can team up with Childhood Friends fairly easily, though.

One for Team I Shouldn't Be Alive!

[luinthoron.livejournal.com]

Team I Shouldn't Be Alive, I think. Two highly capable combatants plus a wacko with a chainsaw = Win! ^_^ Some insanity always helps against (probable) zombies. As does their apparent resistance.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Quite clearly Team I Shouldn't Be Alive! (Mao would find fighting zombies so easy as well, as he has a chainsaw and zombies have no discernable thoughts other than 'braaaaaiiiinnns', which should become as background noise v. fast due to repetition!). ^-^

I would put Schneizel with Lloyd and Cecile however, as they're his people. ^-^ That team would be practically toppling over under the weight of it's own intelligence! XD

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Schneizel was *almost* grouped with Team Scientist. Unfortunately for him and Clovis and Friendly Zombie, I based this on where they were the morning the outbreak began, and they're still separated from the rest of the main cast at that point. The post is now updated to show their locations. :D

Team I Shouldn't Be Alive is immensely popular! Go go Orange-kun!

[loqi.livejournal.com]

ZOMG! This is too awesome! XD

My money is also on Team I Shouldn't Be Alive provided that C.C. and Zero does not come within 500 radius of them.

Team Childhood Friends may survive if Suzaku and Lulu would put aside their differences to protect Nanaly. Team li Britannia also has high survival rate if the two sisters will behave themselves and not rush off somewhere rashly.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

One more on Team I Shouldn't Be Alive. Defying death does have its advantages?

(I actually thought Team li Britannia is the most overpowered of all the teams, what with their amount of well-equipped highly capable combatants. But it seems offense does not win against Inhuman Regeneration. XD )

[loqi.livejournal.com]

Of course, they can almost be zombies themselves. XD

(I thought Team li Britannia has its advantages as well but you can totally see Euphemia rushing off to save someone and Cornelia going after her alone. Before you know it, they're out-numbred and it'll be too late for Dalton and Guilford to save them. So it's not so much offense does not win again Inhuman Regeneration but that Euphemia and Cornelia has gotten into trouble too many times. XD)

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Heh. If Team Team I Shouldn't Be Alive meet Teram Childhood friends, lelouch is history, as they all *really* want him dead and he's used geass on two of them already and can't on Mao. >:) Nunally is useless, and Suzaku - well, three against one (as Lelouch has no notable one on one combat skills whatsoever. >:)

[loqi.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more of the fact that they will concentrate on eradicating Lelouch and not on the fact that they may soon be surrounded by more zombies.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I was thinking it wouldn't take that long considering all, and then they can ditch Nunally and take Suzaku with them. ^-^ Though...you know, as Nunally is so very nice and all, she might have a very calming influence on Mao. :) It would be a change for him to hear nice thoughts for once. ;)

[loqi.livejournal.com]

Yes, hurray for Nunnally's calming aura! =D She can do her stop bullying my oniisama line again.

[ryans-cupcake.livejournal.com]

This is awesome.
Mao might go a bit more insane because he'd just get overloaded with hearing BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD GUUUUUUUUUUTS BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINZ.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Are zombies really capable of thought, or is that a modern invention? :o

[ryans-cupcake.livejournal.com]

well going off Resident Evil the notes from guys turning into zombies tend to stay stuff like: rawr I want flesh, rawr.

[annwyd.livejournal.com]

I'd have to cast my vote for Team li Britannia. Team I Shouldn't Be Alive would get off to a great start, but eventually their own craziness would get the better of them, especially for Mao. If it were just Jeremiah and Villetta, the craziness would balance out because of Villetta's loyalty to him.

Cornelia, on the other hand, would be able to keep her team going strong, and Guilford would be able to tone down the worst of her rashness. Given the circumstances of a freaking zombie outbreak, Euphemia could probably keep some of her silly ideas in check. Both sisters' stubbornness and tendency to run off and do crazy things would be something of a wildcard, but I think overall they've still got the edge on the others.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Personally, I feel Team li Britannia would be the most organized team in the whole bunch. Well, Schneizel is probably an organized guy, too, but when your teammate probably can't understand complex sentences... The princesses have quirks, but the other members balance them out.

One for Team li Britannia!

[the-sports-geek.livejournal.com]

This is the most brilliant thing I've seen in a long, long time. Here's my quite long synopsis:

WARNING: THIS HAS BEEN MADE VERY GORY AND HAS SOME VERY DARK HUMOR

PART ONE:

Team Childhood Friends:

I don't think Lelouch and Suzaku would argue as much about Zombie Survival. I mean, they're fighting zombies. All they want to do is eat your brains, (but, they're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat their eyes). I personally think they'll have more trouble with the mounting sexual tension between the two of them than anything else.

But first, some personal tragedy! I don't care if Nunally had an army of people protecting her, she's done. D-U-N, DONE! Blind? Wheelchair ridden? No chance in a zombie holocaust. Especially if these are "28 Days Later" zombies. Suzaku and Lelouch may not like it, but, life is tough.

Suzaku will have to literally slap Lelouch out of his post-Nunally death stupor, because while Suzaku may have a reputation as a bit of a wuss, he's a soldier. He was shot for CLAMP's sake! He doesn't want to be eaten by zombies!

He'd also come up with the idea that the Student Council is likely proper ****ed, as they have no combat abilities to speak of, and get the both of them over there as soon as possible.

Speaking of...

Team Student Council:

Nina Einstein: "Tends towards overemotional stupidity when scared." She won't last five seconds. And probably die the really violent way like the guy in Shaun of the Dead. Yeah, you know the one. Intestines.

That leaves three people, one of which will die before meeting up with Lelouch and Suzaku. We can rule Millay out of this, because she has some brain skills and could actually figure out a way to hold off the horde of the undead before the two boys reach them.

Unfortunately, someone's gonna be near a window when the zombies break a window and get carried off to be eaten with steak sauce. And I flipped a coin and, sorry Rivalz. You will be missed.

Now, the horde is closing in on the last two girls, and what happens? Some shots to the zombie heads? Our bishonen heroes save their lives (temporarily) and figure out that the best place to go is...

Team Scientist:

While I can't be sure that this zombie holocaust isn't Lloyd's fault, he does have a mobile tank, some guns, and other fun implements of destruction. Suzaku leads the others (with Lelouch grudgingly agreeing to go to Britannia for help) in the direction of the Lancelot Party Van (LPV).

Well, the LPV is still conveniently parked outside the school, but is surrounded by a horde of zombies who resemble an Ohio State football crowd in the way they're trying to flip the thing. At this point, Shirley completely chokes trying to fire a gun at the zombies, who don't choke on her delicious gray matter. Somehow, the remaining three are able to get to the door, open it up, and get inside. Thankfully, Lloyd and Cecile are doing ok, although Lloyd is bleeding from the neck and won't let anyone look at him.

Lelouch is convinced that Lloyd will turn into a zombie very soon and demands that he be thrown to the horde outside very quickly. Suzaku objects... until Lloyd decides to try to take a bite out of his neck. Lloyd fails when Suzaku shows that he isn't a wuss again by pistol-whipping the scientist to the ground and putting a bullet in his head.

Now that they are heavily armed and quite dangerous, the foursome of Lelouch, Suzaku, Cecile, and Millay make their way to the next stop.

[the-sports-geek.livejournal.com]

PART TWO:

Team The Black Knights:

Lelouch fakes that he is just a grunt in the organization (much to the chagrin of Suzaku) and drives the LPV to their headquarters. They arrive to a horde of zombies wearing Black Knights uniforms trying to enter the area where the "Executive Council" meets. While Lelouch doesn't want to, he leads the group on a zombie massacre to get the remaining (and assumed non-zombie) people out of there.

This time, no one falls to the zombies! However, Diethard, after giving key information that the zombie virus only keeps the corpse alive for 48 hours (then they drop dead), was turned into a delectable meal with fava beans and a nice chianti. Without the fava beans and nice chianti. This info is found after talking to Kallen, Ougi, and Tamaki. They also find that communication is still working, but when Suzaku tries to communicate the outside world, he doesn't get good news.

Team li Britannia:

Suzaku sees a panicked Euphie begging for help as the door is being beaten down by zombies. Apparently, all the armed zombies have taken over the In a case of poor timing, just as Euphie confesses some sort of feelings for Suzaku, the door breaks down and a zombie looking like Cornelia rushes in, grabs her, and tears out her throat. Thankfully, the feed goes dead after that.

With two days of sitting around with nothing but shifts to watch the door to do, things get a little tense in the headquarters. Lelouch is now in the position of comforting Suzuku after seeing someone he cares for get eaten by a zombie. Since this is my synopsis, and I'm a SuzuLulu shipper, there is a cute scene with the following dialogue where they comfort each other that ends with Suzaku confessing his feelings and kissing Lelouch. No sex ensues, because as we all know, in any kind of horror movie, SEX = DEATH! Even kissing is pushing it...

After two days, when the group thinks it's all over, they open the door to the outside. They walk through the carnage that is Area 11 and make it to the airfield. Where they find a private 747 jumbo jet and get the hell out of there...

Team La Brittania:

BUT WAIT! There are... (wait for it) Zombies on the Plane! Clovis gave into his zombie-urges and turned Schniezel, who turned his staff, who were on the plane our heroes comandeered. Clovis, due to the 48-hour rule, is now just a lifeless corpse.

The zombies are found when Tamaki and Ougi get snatched and eaten. The remaining five attempt to keep the zombies at bay, trying to barricade themselves in the front of the plane while Kallen and Suzaku fly the plane. They are locked in the cockpit and midway through a flight to the closest non-infected area, the plane goes completely quiet. No bangs of zombies against the door, but no sound to indicate that Lelouch, Cecile, or Millay are still alive.

Upon landing, the two turn to the cockpit door, scared of what lies beyond it. Suzaku decides to go out and see the damage. It is, in a word, extensive. He can see the zombies strewn across the seats and he can see Millay and Cecile with self-inflicted bullet wounds in their heads to prevent the zombie plague from taking them over. But, Lelouch is slumped unconscious next to the door with his hand pressed to his arm. Suzaku lifts the hand and is relieved to see just a few deep scratches. While Kallen and he work on Lelouch, the patient awakens. The three get off the plane to a group of people in HAZMAT suits wanting to make sure they are zombie-free. Which they are.

Two weeks later...

Lelouch and Suzaku are at a cafe. Insert an adorably cute scene, with an ending kiss, as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" plays in the background.

I have no life.

[prides-tears.livejournal.com]

*thinks she just laughed her life out*

[ryans-cupcake.livejournal.com]

I've had it with these mother fcuking zombies on this mother fcuking plane.

[fathobbit1191.livejournal.com]

YOU WIN THE INTERNETS. : D

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

YOU FORGOT ORANGE'S TEAM. >:[

now if you'll excuse me, I'll continue to die of laugh.

[savanahv.livejournal.com]

LOL that was so funny, only question is....where's Arthur? XD =^.^=

Arthur
Pros: Seems extremely capable in close-quarters. Very effective methods of stealing precious and or otherwise secret items. Has the ability to make Lulu squeak. Will attack Suzaku at all costs.
Cons: Like's to pretend he's "Zero"

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Arthur's not here because zombies don't attack animals. But if he gets infected, chances are, Team Childhood Friends is in biiiiiiig trouble.

[queen-marshed.livejournal.com]

Team I shouldn't be alive should so perfectly fine in this mess. XD

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Orange and Viletta better not think anything derogatory to Mao while they're at it! XDDd

[jim3.livejournal.com]

Do any of you think that maybe CC might slighty like Lulu. Maybe just enjoy his company, you know what I mean? Second...what's with Pizza Hut?

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

I realize. But she's a WALKING CHEAT DEVICE.

[meitsu.livejournal.com]

zombie's have thoughts?
