The Geass: Roleplaying Rules on how to use the Geass power in the Code GEASS RPG

In Code GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion, certain chosen individuals possess a supernatural power to compel and command any living being to do anything the first person commands him/her too, thru a hypnotic suggestion visually transferred via eye-to-eye sight between the person and his target. If a target looks into the person’s eyes, he/she is now charmed and compelled to follow the person’s orders unconciously. This supernatural ability is called geass (geas).

In the Code GEASS RPG, a select few persons can possess this power, as long as they follow the requirements below.

Geass

Minimum Attribute Requirement: Geass users must have a minimum of 16 in Mental Endurance. Only characters with exceptional scores (16+) in ME may possess a Geass power.

Determining if a player has the Geass ability:

For realism, only five percent (5%) of player characters in the Code GEASS RPG can have the geass ability.
A player creating a character in the Code GEASS RPG should tell the GM in the JB that he desires to have the geass ability.
The player rolls one twenty-sided die (1d20), and must roll a 20 to gain the ability.
The player adds a bonus determined by their ME scores to the dice roll, to improve their chances to get a score of 20. (See below for ME bonuses)
The player is only given two (2) chances to roll for the right to have a geass ability. If the first roll failed, a second roll is given. If the second fails, the character cannot have a geass ability, unless given to them by a witch/warlock in the game. (see below)
If a player rolls a 20, he gets the geass ability. The player will now roll for which geass ability possess. (See below for table of geass abilities)
Once a geass ability is chosen, the player and the GM for the Code GEASS RPG and game should take note of the ability, and keep it secret. The ability should not be revealed to anyone except in the game, and only upon the GM’s permission.

Types of Geass


Absolute Obedience
Lelouch's power of Geass, "the power of absolute obedience", allows him to momentarily control a mind, in a fashion similar to hypnotism, and is situated in his left eye. When activated, a red bird-shaped sigil, similar to the mark on C.C.'s forehead, lights up in the eye and reaches out to its target(s). In order to successfully control a mind, eye contact with the target(s) must be made when activated, along with several other requirements. Unfortunately, the power cannot be used more than once on a given person.

Near the end of season one, Lelouch's Geass evolves and becomes permanently activated, activating its effect when he does not wish it to. Similar to Mao, this causes him to avoid contact with people in fear of accidentally using his power. After he was captured by Suzaku, his power was sealed off by his father's Geass, and he also loses his memory of it, until C.C. reawakens it. She gave him a contact lens that shields it, allowing him to use it when he wants simply by removing it. C.C. warns that if Lelouch's Geass becomes more powerful, the lens will not be able to block its effects.

Range: Direct Body Contact.
Duration: (see below)
Effects: Command target (see below)
Sigil: Red bird


Rules:
Player characters with the absolute obedience geass ability can use this power on other PCs and non-player characters.
Player character can command other geassed PCs and NPCs to do ANYTHING, EXCEPT for commanding a Player Character to kill himself/herself or another Player Character. You can command a Non-Player Character to kill himself or another person, however.
To use the geass, a geass user should be face-to-face with his intended target, and must look at the target in the eyes.
The geass user must secretly roll 1d20 plus his ME bonus to see if the attempt succeeds. The geass user must roll equal to or greater than the target’s ME score for the geass to succeed.
If the attempt is successful, the GM will PM the target that he has been geassed, and that he is compelled to do what the geass commands. The GM will have the discretion on when to tell the target of the geass command, according the wording of the command itself. The GM will not tell the target who cast the geass on him.
A target can only be geassed successfully once (1 time only) and cannot be subject to a geass ability again.
A failed attempt of using this geass ability will automatically result in one roll in the geass user failed attempt penalty table (see Penalties).


Telepathy
Mao's power of Geass allows him to telepathically hear every person's conscious thought within a 500 meter radius. He does not need to maintain direct eye contact with his victim and has no limit on an individual. Mao can concentrate on fewer victims at a time, which decreases his effective range, but allows him to read deeper into the victims' minds, even probe their memories. He cannot read something if the victim has no knowledge of it or has completely forgotten about it. Bird-shaped sigils are lit in both eyes all the time, because his power evolved and became permanently activated. C.C. gave the power of Geass to Mao when he was six. Since he hears people's thoughts at every moment, he wears headphones to drown out the sounds and sunglasses to hide his secret.

Range: 500 meter radius
Duration: 1d6 rounds + 1 round/level of geass user
Effects: hears everything within the radius of the geass
Sigil:

This ability can be used thrice (3) per day.
The PC must roll equal or lesser than 35% + 10%/level of geass user + ME score on a percentile die (1d100) to successfully activate the geass
When the telepathy geass is activated, the geass user can hear all the thoughts of all living humans with a 500 meter radius, using this information to his knowledge. The GM will reveal to the geass user via PM any secret information pertinent to the geass user that the targets are thinking of.
A failed attempt of using this geass ability will automatically result in one roll in the geass user failed attempt penalty table (see Penalties).


Rules:

Time Stop
Rolo's Geass is the ability to alter the perception of time of people within a limited sphere of influence around him. Those within the sphere stop perceiving time, other than Rolo, who continues to perceive the flow of time normally. As a result, Rolo appears to manipulate time and to teleport. When activated, a red bird-shaped sigil lights up in his right eye and can extend his sphere to a radius of several meters across, allowing him to use it in Knightmare combat. C.C. has confirmed it was V.V. who gave him his Geass.

Range: 5 meter radius
Duration: 1d6 rounds + 1 round/level of geass user
Effects: bonuses (see below)

Rules:

When the time stop geass is activated, ALL player characters are rendered immovable, and only the geass user can act during the time stop. The geass user can attack targets with a + 4 to strike, and a penalty of -8 to dodge and parry for the targets.
When in a Knightmare, the geass user gains a +6 to strike, +10 to dodge and +10 to parry during the duration of the geass.

The target will suffer the following penalties: - 4 to dodge, - 4 to parry.
A failed attempt of using this geass ability will automatically result in one roll in the geass user failed attempt penalty table (see Penalties).


Precognition
Nunnally's power of Geass allows her to read "future lines" to see into the future. An entity similar to C.C., Nemo, bestows the power onto her. Like Lelouch, a red, bird-like sigil lights up in Nunnally's left eye when the power is activated.
