Code Teyvat: Rebellion of Zero

[Wild Transient]

The harem will start off with Keqing, Ayaka and Kokomi, although it's a question of how to best decide who punches Lelouch's V-card first

If they're the starter three then hands down it should be Kokomi.

I agree, but would Ayaka and Keqing still want to join the harem if they don't get him first?

Probably, depending on how emotionally close they are to him that not being his first really matters so long as they're part of his life in a romantic sense. Oh to be sure maybe they'll be a bit envious but that's about it.

I know Genshin is it own universe and it's own culture and all but considering Liyue and Inazuma are based on Japan and China, I don't think they would mind the harem stuff as much.

True, and that is what we are going off of, so in that light among other discussions I've been having with my server, its been decided that any further harem candidates will come from Code Geass, Fontaine, Liyue, Inazuma, Mondstadt and maybe Sumeru, because those are the nations Lelouch has spent most time in and therefore would've had more chances to build friendships and potential romances. I just don't see Lelouch spending sufficient time in Natlan or Nor-Krai long enough for anyone to gain a romantic inclination towards Lelouch, enough of one that they wouldn't mind sharing. Now Lelouch has visited these places, but just not as long as some of the other places he has been to and stayed in.

So after a very wonderful turn out for the story, I have concluded the poll with fourteen winning, although six and seven were close through, and this is combined from all three polls on different sites, so thank you all for voting.

So the max harem size will be fourteen, BUT let's see if that can be done, but regardless fourteen is the max. The only reason I am doubtful is because I am having a hard time trying to ensure it starts, with founding members Keqing, Ayaka and Kokomi. Now a meeting scene is planned where Yae Miko would suggest it, but I am wondering on anything I could do speifically for the starting trio to ensure their inclusion into the harem, but also open to allow others to join. Then its just a question of which characters would be willing to join after that trio and would it be enough to fill fourteen spots.

Locked in members:
1: Keqing
2: Kamisato Ayaka
3: Sangonomiya Kokomi
4: Furina de Fontaine
5: Navia Caspar
6: Eula Lawrence
7: Lumine (The Abyss Sibling)
8: Kuki Shinobu
9: Yun Jin
10: Arlecchino/Peruere (I am still skeptical on her, so Lynette is set as back up choice if she doesn't work out)

14:

Possible candidates and/or back ups if someone in the main line up doesn't make it in, those in bold are those aware of Lelouch being Zero, or being from another world, or possibly both.

Inazuma Yomiya, Kujo Sara, Yae Miko, Raiden Shogun/Raiden Ei, Yumemizuki Mizuki

Liyue Hu Tao, Shenhe, Ganyu

Fontaine Charlotte, Chiroi, Chevreuse, Clorinde

Mondtshat Noelle, Amber, Barbara, Mona Megistus (technically doesn't live in Mondtshat, but Lelouch would encounter on his travels)

Sumeru Layla (I haven't decided if she should be aware of Lelouch being Zero or not, even if she did help Lelouch with designing some of the navigation pools for his sub), Collei, Nilou, and Faruzan

Nor-Krai Lamua (She might be the only one I could see, even if working her in would be difficult as I can't see Nefer or Jahoda), Columbina (The problem with her is that there wouldn't be enough opportunity for any kind of relationship to form with Lelouch, and given her past experiences it would make it more difficult)

Natlan: Chasca, Mualani, Xilonen, Citlali, Varesa (these are characters who could work, although Xilonen I am very skeptical on, but if I did decide to include someone from Natlan I would have to choose one and only one since there wouldn't be time for anyone else I fear)

The harem talk aside through, I have been working on the civil war, but the time skip did leave me with one issue that must be resolved before I get into the civil war properly, originally the main reason I wasn't going to do a time skip was because I was having a hard time trying to decide on how much of a following or how far along Lelouch has formed the Black Knights on Teyvat, so I was going to go through the six years he was on Teyvat to better gauge the following he could gain.

So I made a new poll to see what you guys think he should have and what would seem believable. Lelouch has not only a bone to pick with the serial disappear in Fontaine, which was where he first appeared as Zero trying to take them down by him, and he made MORE progress in doing so before leads quickly dried up causing his effort to stall, while becoming a newspaper sensation especially for escaping the police. Escoffier working for Lelouch was part of Furnia's influnce and as an alternative sentence of temporarily exile from Fontaine instead of going to prison, as another note.

Then you got the Fatui whose actions in Mondtshat nearly got his sister killed, so he could gain some like minded followers with Diluc's help, and then there is Liyue where he clearly has Keqing as a powerful ally and friend, and Liyue is also supporting him unofficially too, especially against the Fatui.

He'll likely gain more from Watatsumi and those fleeing Inazuma as the civil war drags on.

And I was thinking he would hire some mercenaries to help in training and boosting his group's combat strength, like Dehya's Blazing Beasts, but I admit the biggest problem in all of this are ensuring no traitors slip in and what can be done to best protect Lelouch's identity. So that is why I am uncertain of how much of a following Lelouch could have that is both believable and loyal to him, so what do you guys think?

See I didn't think so either. I feel reasonably they would be okay within reason. I just had to advice havoc within reason was all.

Hmmm. Let's see indeed. The good thing about gacha games is that with such a large cast of characters that I'm sure you can stitch out a reasonable reason for them and Lelouch to find common ground and get along somehow

True, but a big question is to ask and what I am trying to work out as I explain in more detail below, is which one would be worth including that could better the story?

The only reason I am doing a poll (the new one I just made above) was because my original plan was to work out over the next six years in story who Lelouch meets and how his relationship with them grows to determine if they would be worth considering for the harem. (I will do a part two for other characters tomorrow, hence the twenty four hour time limit on the poll.)

Unfortunately for me, doing a six year time skip kinda derailed all of that.

With that said the primary purpose of the poll is to work out among those who Lelouch has met, and who among those he knows would develop romantic feelings for, and wouldn't mind sharing him as part of the harem.

Amber, Hu Tao, Noelle, Chiori and Escoffier are aware to some extent about the truth regarding Lelouch while Chiori and Escoffier are fully aware as of this moment.

Chevreuse, Ganyu, Shenhe, Clorinde and Mona know Lelouch on a personal level, but are not aware of the fact he is from another world and/or is Zero. Lelouch would know Clorinde very well due to their shared friendship of Navia while Lelouch knew Chevreuse as well, having even been forced to train alongside her while in Fontaine to get him better in shape, but this "suffering" would help him later as Zero since he would know how the Speical Partol operates, so he could evade and escape them more easily.

Mona through I am not sure of what kind of relationship she would have for Lelouch through.

The issue is through that while I know each character has their pros and cons, some has more cons than others, I do favor each of them for the harem in some way, so what I am seeking is to pick which ones would be worth the effort of including them and who could give me more bang for my buck.

Probably the ones who I see having more issues than including them could be worth would be.....

Ganyu and Shenhe (both have trouble with showing affection, and not to mention Shenhe has trouble with soical do and don'ts, while Ganyu is quite busy. I don't think trying to include both could work, but one of them might be easier, since a certain adopted mother of theirs might try to ship one of them with Lelouch.)

Chiori, while she is aware of Lelouch being both Zero and from another world, but of course too Lelouch did use some of his wealth to give her a nice start. But given her character and drive for goals, and lack of interest in a relationship I am skeptical of her joining the harem.
,
Chevreuse, it would depend on how well she reacts to Zero and Lelouch being one and the same, and when she finds out about it what might happen then? By that point Lelouch would've gotten a full pardon from Furnia for his actions as Zero.

Escoffier and Clorinde: Well I don't see much that could stop them from joining the harem, but its a question of it they would given Clorinde seemingly lack of knowledge on romance and Escoffier focused on expanding her cooking skills, but I could see her family trying to ship her and Lelouch together out of worry so someone could keep an eye on their daughter since she does tend to lock herself away for days or weeks at a time.

Amber and Noelle I see little issue with them possibly joining, but it boils down to what they could offer. Althrough Noelle's character flaws I do worry about be an issue.

Mona is more of a question of what kind of relationship she and Lelouch could have and would she be worth making her part of the harem, since the big question is what can she bring to it?

Hu Tao is the same, although I can see her as the most winning to join the harem, but what could inclusion bring and would she be better than some choices?

Hopefully this helps out.
