[i]It is the year 2018 a.t.b. of the Imperial Calendar....[/i] [img]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/codegeass/images/7/7f/Burai_-_Wrist_Mounted_Rocket_Launchers.png/revision/latest?cb=20091203042422[/img] The Black Rebellion, and the uprising over the one the majority of Japanese called their savior, Zero, has come to an end. The Black Knights, soldiers of freedom or terrorists depending on your point of view, failed to overcome the Britannian forces during the crucial offensive to take back their homeland. Zero supposedly abandoned his soldiers vanishing just as suddenly as he had arrived leading to the possible doom of the movement. In this time Suzaku Kururugi has ascended to the Knights of the Round, and Viceroy Calares has taken over control of Japan from the now missing Princess Cordelia. Reconstruction efforts are beginning to see fruit in Japan as cities hurt by the Rebellion begin to recover. Despite this however The Black Knights, and other Japanese insurrection forces refuse to stand down and continue on. Among these people a new group have risen up still baring the Black Knights title but refusing to acknowledge the main branch. Though their location is unknown by the Britannian Forces they are situated in the mountains of Kyushu. Made up of some of the Black Knight's aces and otherwise stalwart soldiers they defiantly attack the empire. They are led by legendary general Sho Kurasaki. General Sho is a former general in the Japanese Army. It was he who had actually served in the front lines against Britannia in the first war. And he continued to serve all the way to the bitter end. In his final moments he had even defeated some of the first knightmare frame systems sent to Japan by way of clever tactics, and underhanded trickery. A firm believer in Bushido, and a truly strong individual Sho has rallied the men together seeing the Black Rebellion as a failed turning point has renewed his belief that Japan can be whole again. Initially he refused to join the Japanese Liberation Front, and the Black Knights due to his own code of ethics preventing him from re-entering the fight he has chosen to come out of hiding in order to return Japan. Though he considers himself a 'ronin' without a master now he intends to bring the fight to Japan. But he does not do so alone. Enter the European Union. A long time enemy of the Britannian Empire and a collection of individual states that seek true independence from the Empire. A major world super power rivaling the Britannian Army in scale, and size. Though in terms of technological sufficiency that is what they are lacking. Despite this however the E.U. is now planning on assisting General Sho in his efforts in re-taking Japan in an effort to gain support for pushing Britannian Forces out of the captured Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Great Britain. To this end the Europeans have proudly sent Sho a group of men and women who will turn the tide of the Black Rebellion. This force is designated W-1. Led by the son of an Irish Minister, and former JLF sympathizer Jack Blake. He was temporarily adopted by former JLF General Nagamasa Azai but has dropped Azai as his last name in order to more properly lead the W-1 Task Force. Once they save Japan they are to pressure Britannia in hopes of one day allowing the European Forces to win the day. ==== [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ7zQbMxm28[/youtube] ==== Rules: 1.
