Apologies if this is too random...

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.

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.
