Geass Information

Geass is a mysterious ability which certain people(former Geass users themselves) can bestow upon others. Those who give Geass are immortal, regenerate quickly, The form the Geass takes is different in each individual. It is called, by those who give Geass, 'the Power of the King'. It is represented by a glowing, bird-shaped symbol.

Every Geass 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 have strengths and weaknesses and manifests it's power based on the desires of the person being granted Geass. When active, the Geass symbol appears in the corresponding eye.

The power of Geass increases with use, usually starting in one eye. Most forms eventually spread to both eyes and become uncontrollable with repeated use. At this point, after reaching it's full potential, the one who granted the power can relinquish his or her immortality to the recipient, allowing the recipient to continue the cycle—forcibly if the giver desires—while the giver is allowed to die. The immortality is referred to as the giver's "Code," and grants the person immunity to Geass at the cost of their original power.

NoN (Nightmare of Nunnally) Geass

The Geass from the Nightmare of Nunnally uses the same sigil, but it appears on the forehead when active. It has no particular limit to what it can manifest as. However, this type of Geass is obtained via cell transplant from a person with a "Code". When the Geass is active, the implanted cells will become active and start to strain and overtax the body, eventually leading to the complete degeneration of the body.
Its effects are countered through the use of suppressants that also limit the effects of the Geass. A neutralizer can be applied to temporarily cancel out the effects of the suppressants and allow the Geass to function at full potential. However, Geasses that directly affect combat tax the body faster than a supportive Geass. When in this state, the bird-shaped symbol is permanently present and glows when the Geass is in use.

Furthermore(under NoN type), there is a sub-category of beings known as "Magical Dolls"(or just Dolls), their naming reflects immortals(people with the "Code") being called Witches. They are formed from a Witch who willingly separates cells from their body to form one. It is "slaved"(subordinate) to the Witch that creates it and cannot oppose him/her unless allowed. They are only visible to Witches and the character they are apart of.

The Doll can only interact with the physical world only when they possess their host's body with their host's agreement, otherwise they can only talk with their host. However, they can also automatically possess their host if their host is in a mental state that is aligned to. Their body and form is pretty much immortal and resembles their host except in hair and eye color. If the host is handicapped, the Doll's form is not and will restore the functions when in possession.
The host is still present but only can dictate the limitations and/or required actions of the Doll and can communicate only with the Doll. Possession lasts only as long as the host's will/wish is in effect. Also, only when the Doll is in possession, is the Geass usable. In addition, the body does not suffer the drawbacks that standard NoN Geass users do Instead, they exhaust, it depends on how heavily used was the Geass, the host when possession ends. They have a bird-shipped symbol on their forehead at all times and it glows when their Geass is in use.

When/If the Contract is canceled, the Doll may seek out another, while retaining all information and knowledge it gained. This includes its experience with the emotion(s) it drew upon. Furthermore, the effects of using Geass will being to appear, eventually leading to death if not dealt with.

Special Case

However, in the case that the Doll is carrying out a contract formed by the Witch that formed it, but the contract with the Doll's contractor is canceled, it may form a "Exchange" deal with a third party who has the same interest towards what the contract term is. (ie. If the Doll is carrying out a contract formed by a Witch, and said contract is to protect someone but after a while, the person cancels the contract by rejecting the Doll due to their own reasons which completely clash with the Doll's. To fulfill it's contract the Doll may then form a "Exchange" with a third party who wishes to protect the person.) However, the third party person must be firmly resolved to carry out their part, even at the cost of everything else.
The new host would be in full control. An extension of the Doll would manifest as clothing that is a compactualized form of the knightmare.

Creation Rules

Your Geass can be LIKE, not exactly, the same as the Geass any of the canon characters have.
If you have one that is in effect the same, it would be weaker than others in a Geass vs Geass showdown. This excludes Geasses based off the ones from the Code Geass manga Nightmare of Nunnally.
Geass can be given either by S.S or M.M. if not associated with The Geass Directorate. By V.V. if associated with the Geass Directorate.
NoN Standard Geass will/would require a detailed explanation on how your character obtained it if not associated(or previously so) with the Geass Directorate.

NoN Doll Geass will/would require a detailed explanation on how your character met and obtained Geass along with the Doll's reflection of what part of the character's emotions. They cannot be Britannians and must have their own Geass-Type Knightmare. The Doll cannot act against the host's wishes or the Witch she/he(it?)'s from. They can only possess the host's body when allowed or when the host is overwhelmed by the emotion they are associated with. Unless they are directly possessing their host, they are incapable of interacting with anyone & anything else other than their host and certain people, which includes the witch they are from. When in possession, they restore the host's body to full capacity and function and is the only time when their Geass is usable. They have the bird-shaped sigil on their forehead when possessed and it glows when it is in use when inside the knightmare, otherwise it appears in similar fashion in one eye. The Geass itself does not have a direct drawback nor is it's power limited, instead, it wears out the host when possession ends. How much depends on how powerful the Geass is and how much/often/long it's used during possession affects how worn out the host will be. The exhaustion, if enough, can render the host out for days on end.

Special Case

If the NoN Doll formed a "Exchange" deal, the original host must be named. The host is in full control at all times and the knightmare, when not in use, manifests itself as clothing on the host. When the knightmare is brought out, the manifested clothing is stripped away and forms the knightmare. The host MUST prioritize the terms of the "Exchange" deal, even over their own life. It does not, however, mean ignoring their own life.

The original host will suffer from the effects of using NoN Geass type (yes, the one that leads towards death) unless remedied (with the usual method). MRI tests can identify former/current NoN Doll hosts due to alterations caused by the integration of the Doll.

Note: In a one on one between the two types, the anime type is superior in it's basic form to a limited NoN type. However, a NoN type without its limiter is equivalent to the fully developed version of the anime type.
