Random Free Write ~ Code Geass

...Code Geass R1 will be today's post topic.
Code Geass is a Japanese anime series created by Sunrise with original character designs by CLAMP. I love CLAMP's works the most, including Sunrise, too. My favorite CLAMP's works are xxxHOLiC, and Tsubasa Chronicle.

Let's go back to the original topic: Code Geass.
In Code Geass, the world is control by 3 superpowers: the Holy Britannian Empire, the Chinese Federation, and the Euro Universe. These 3 superpowers countries maintain a tentative balance for a while, or the first part of the story.

In this series, you would mostly heard of this word the most "Geass."
Geass is a mysterious ability which certain people can bestow upon others. The Geass manifests differently in each individual, possibly related to their inner desires, and the Geass' power increases with use. If the users lack the willpower, they may be consumed by it, this is the why Geass was called as the Power of the King. The Geass is represented by a glowing, bird-shaped symbol.

"Every Geass, while powerful, has its own unique set of restrictions, limitations, or idiosyncrasies. These factors allow a Geass to be defeated, or its power limited, by someone who is aware of its characteristics. All Geass abilities that have thus far appeared within the canon of the television series have been related to the mind, influencing such things as will, thought, memory, and perception."
