Contact MSN/email?: [e-mail]
Position or Special Job: I guess Admin in general. I made a timeline of the world leading up to the events of Code Geass (in Europe particularly), and I enjoy writing up histories. I also know quite a lot about how the Chinese Federation (or chinese Federation Government) would be organized, and, if I'm not approved for a special position, I would at least ask that I give the information I have to someone who CAN approve or add this information.

Description: Relatively short for his age, Kayeri's appearance is a mix between his Chinese and Iroquois Heritages. While his black hair reflects both and his facial expression is a mix of either, Kayeri almost always wears clothes of the Iroquois Confederacy, usually that of the Plains Tribes.




A

Personality:[/font]

As an individual, Kayeri was raised on both sides of the pacific as a diplomat and thus has generally impeccable manners and a generally friendly personality, a front built up from his actually shy temperament since he was far younger.  Kayeri, as a politician, can notice signs that most people don't notice that may give away one's personality.  However, this sensitivity also makes him prone to overanalyzing and at times finding plots to kill people out of trivial things.  He will generally attempt to speak the language of the country he's in, though in nasty situations he may sometimes pretend he doesn't speak the language to cover up mistakes.  A bit of a opportunist.

Temperament-wise, Kayeri, being raised on one side by a Iroquois Sachem and on the other side by the Chinese Royal Family, has a rather strong fear of failure.  After his experience with attempting for the Knight of Rounds (see History), his unwillingness to acknowledge his failures leads to his fear of piloting a knightmare whenever possible, though he is a talented pilot.  The fact that he's slightly shorter than his peers leads to him wearing slightly raised shoes.  As a person who doesn't like to show weaknesses, Kayeri will be taken by surprise if they are addressed directly.

History:

IRL, during the Revolutionary War, The Iroquois Confederacy had fought on the side of the British—in the Code Geass world, the same applies.  This partnership stemmed from the Iroquois and Britannians collaborating during the 7 years war (called the French and Indian War in America), and quickly grew into a Partnership.  While the British prevented overeager Britannian settlers from settling into Iroquois Lands through the Royal Proclamation of 1763, a law that allowed the Iroquois to live in peace west of the Appalachian Mountains.  This law, though, also played a part in Washington’s Rebellion.  To defend their homeland, most of the Iroquois sided with Britannia, being the only military group skilled enough to match the guerrilla armies of the Colonial Militia.  When Washington’s Rebellion collapsed, the Iroquois Confederacy was rewarded.  Instead of being listed as part of what was now Area 1, the Iroquois Confederacy were rewarded with a limited degree of autonomy and the right to consider themselves Iroquois, not numbers, equals with Britannians themselves.  Iroquois Braves, who had distinguished themselves in the war, became the Elite Units of the Britannian Army, next to the Highlanders of Scotland and the Gurkhas of Nepal.  Meanwhile, the Iroquois continued to grow, expanding into the manufacture industry.  With control of the Hudson River, the Iroquois began opening factories and soon produced a powerful production capacity and its own government, loyal to Britannia but self-governing.  The Six Tribes soon came to include the Three tribes of the Sioux and the Great Plains as the Confederacy continued to grow, forming their own Economic Conglomerate, the Iroquois Confederate Corporate Allliance (ICCA).  The Britannian stance towards the Iroquois were generally benevolent as well—at least initially.  After the Shame of Edinburgh, the Britannians fled to the United States, where the Iroquois welcomed them.  During this time, the Confederacy had its own police, its own tax system and its own government, having representation in the Imperial Senate.  Large numbers of Iroquois continued to join the Britannian special forces, participating in the annexations of Areas 3 through 8.  

Gradually, though, things changed.  The ICCA now was slowly beginning to dominate many of the many industries Britannia relied on, and the Iroquois began to be perceived as too great a power, a state within a state.  By the time of Emperor Charles Zi Britannia, Britannian relations had soured.  Finally, in ATB 1999, the Emperor passed the Imperial Decree of 1999.  In this, the Iroquois Confederacy lost its autonomy, and its defense force was replaced by Britannian Army officers.  Even more humiliating was the fact that the Iroquois Confederacy had now been demoted to a numbered Area, part of Area 2 with Canada.  To be fair, this was not as bad as it could be—the Iroquois still ran their own government, and they still had Senate Representation.  However, the Iroquois, long accustomed to liberty, were shocked.  The introduction of Knightmare Combat in 2010 rendered the Iroquois-produced weapons and special forces obsolete.  The Iroquois fell into an economic slump, and were on the verge of rebellion when the Emperor was overthrown and replaced by Emperor Lelouch li Britannia.  Lelouch’s sister and Successor, Nunnally vi Britannia, conferred autonomous area status on the Iroquois again and abolished the numbered names.  Thus, the Iroquois for the last Century have prospered.

Recently, though, the reassertion of the Britannian empire has begun to unnerve the Iroquois Council of Sachems.  Britannia’s increasing Purist policies have also been at odds with the Iroquois, who have seen their representation in the Imperial Senate drop.  Therefore, the Iroquois have begun manufacturing their own weapons and seeking alliances abroad.  Kayeri was born through the marriage between the favorite daughter of Sachem Joseph Brant VI, Kateri Brant, with a sickly Chinese Prince, 13th Prince Li Huang.  Kateri, who was a Catholic, also had links to the European Union Remnant in Italy, and so this marriage was intended to secure political ties.  However, when war almost started between the Chinese Federation and Britannia, Sachem Joseph Brant VI ordered his favorite daughter back, and Kayeri was raised for the first 8 years of his life as a Chinese Noble.  However, Prince Li died soon after, and Kayeri (Chinese name Li Tziling), was recalled to the Iroquois Confederacy, where his Grandfather and mother raised him.  A Talented Knightmare Pilot from birth, Joseph suggested Kayeri attempt to join the Knight of Rounds when the next Tournament (usually called when a Knight of Rounds Retired or died) started.  Making use of his connections, the ICCA’s many tribes put together enough money to create a Knightmare Frame, the Hiawatha.  Up until the Semifinals, Kayeri breezed through easily, and he grew overconfident—something that contributed to his emotional shock when he was completely demolished in the semifinals.  The Hiawatha was completely destroyed and Kayeri was left in a coma for several weeks, shocked by his complete defeat.  Afterwards, Kayeri never rode a Knightamre again, instead pursuing a career in politics.  Using the connections and estate his late Father had left him in China, Kayeri took up a position as a Imperial Family Member in the Chinese Court and then used these connections to take up the rank of Sachem, the equivalent of a Senator in the Imperial Senate of Britannia.  At the moment, Kayeri generally cycles between the Chinese Federation and the Iroquois Confederacy, attempting to resolve the gradually worsening relations between the two nations, Britannia, and each other.  Trained both in Iroquois and Chinese hand-to-hand combat, Kayeri is skilled at Soft Martial Arts.  However, his relatively weak physical strength (due to his wounds from the knightmare battle that left him almost incapable of piloting one) means that he can usually be knocked out in one blow.  Nevertheless, his light physique also makes him nimble and fairly fast.  While bad with polearms, he generally does well with projectile weapons and his ceremonial Chinese Sword.

Goal or Dream:

To replace his grandfather as Grand Sachem of the Iroquois (the equivalent of the Emperor of the Iroquois)

*Brief example of Role Play:[/font]

[I]Beep…beep…beep…beep…[/I]the rhythmic and soothing noise of Kayeri’s own heart rate threatened to guide sleep into Kayeri’s head.  But he knew he couldn’t sleep.  All around him was the darkness of night.  Kayeri looked out of his unbandaged eye at the clock.  It was 2 in the morning—he had been awake for three days and three hours then.  His head told him he wanted to sleep, needed to sleep—but he couldn’t.  And yet he couldn’t move, trussed up in bandages of various sort.  The pain that had at first kept him mercifully awake had long since dulled, spirited away with a whiff of Morphine.  Kayeri resolved to stay awake by staring at the dull symbols of the clock across from his hospital bed.  [I]tick…tick…2:13:14…2:13:15…2…13:1…6…
…
….
…..

“And now, the Knightmare Pilot from the Iroquois, Kayeri Brant!”  The crowd burst into cheers as the Hiawatha landed in a cloud of dust in the sports stadium that had become the field of the tournament for the next Britannian Knight of Rounds.  Kayeri could see his own Seneca Tribesman waving the Iroquois flag, along with other members of the confederacy.  He was only two fights away from winning.[/I]  I’ve come this far—there’s no way I’ll lose!  [I]Across from him, the Enemy Knightmare had already rolled out.  It looked menacing—but so had all of the other Knightmares Kayeri had faced.  And then, before he knew it, they were fighting.

“How…” Kayeri was breathing heavily as he swung the Hiawatha back.  This was the first time the fight had come this close for him.[/I]  I’m actually losing?!  [I]And yet there was no way he could lose.  Not here.  Not now.  And yet…there was no other way to see it.  The Hiawatha had already lost one of its arms and one of its factspheres, and it was beginning to slow down—its massive nimbility only came from a massive power drain, and he would lose if he ran out of power first.[/I]  Duck…parry…counter riposte…[I]and then Kayeri saw it.  An opening!  He immediately steered the Hiawatha towards it, raising his axe—and then, for a moment, all he could see was sparks, flame and twisted metal.

[/I]Dammit…it was a simple trick too.[I]Kayeri opened his eyes at the realization he’d been duped.  The Knightmare cockpit was heavily damaged from the impact—sunlight peeked through cracks.  But the viewscreens still worked.  Kayeri checked the status—the enemy Knightmare’s lance had pierced the Hiawatha’s sides, but not too badly.  Kayeri leaned forwards—and then gasped as for a moment, painful white light completely obscured his sight.  He looked down—at the shard of metal now embedded in his side.[/I]  “When…”[I]And then the pain wasn’t simply at his chest—the pain WAS him, tearing through him as he slumped against the controls.  The ground was slowly turning warm and wet—which was ironic, since he felt so cold.  [/I]At this rate I’m going to die,[I] Kayeri realized.  The fact echoed through his head.  He needed to forfeit…to click that one button on his control board.  Kayeri slowly reached up, every inch a struggle as he tried to reach the button—and then he caught sight of the viewscreens.  On Auto mode, one of the screens had panned to the crowd—to where his family and tribe were watching with horror.  Mother was there, looking horrified—and Grandfather Joseph was there too!  [/I]Didn’t he say he wouldn’t come?  [I]And yet his Grandfather had made time, even with the Council of Sachem meeting, to see him—[/I]He didn’t come to see me lose!  [I]Kayeri pulled his hands away as he looked at the screen.  The spear had gone through him and was still stuck into him, with the other knightmare holding on with both hands.  There was still a way to win.  Kayeri closed his eyes.  [/I]“I have to bring Honor to the Tribe…”[I]  And then he knew what he had to do.  Immediately, he jerked into action as the Hiawatha immediately grabbed at the spare Tomahawk at its side.  Kayeri gritted his teeth, a barely hidden moan issuing as the Hiawatha charged forwards.  Shocked, the other Knightmare could barely react as the Hiawatha charged down the lance, Tomahawk at the ready.[/I]  “I’ve won,” [I]Kayeri thought calmly.  Somehow, the coming darkness and pain didn’t seem so bad after all as he clicked the button and then descended into black stillness.[/I]

[I]I lost,[/I] Kayeri realized as he snapped awake.  His energy had given out on him at that moment, and the other Knightmare, unaware of Kayeri’s condition, had batted the Hiawatha away, causing the cockpit to crumple onto him.  He was humiliated.  Everyone, even his grandfather, had not said a word of blame to him—but Kayeri knew that he had just doomed the Iroquois’ chance at greatness with that defeat.  His physical wounds would heal, the doctors had promised—but, Kayeri knew, the wounds he had done to his tribe would not.


*Role Playing Experience in Years:
2007-Present: I helped found the Naruto RPG, a surprisingly successful Naruto site that I continue to be an Admin of. I generally created events, village histories and character histories.

During 2008 - Last Week: I was a member in another Code Geass site, Code Geass XX as user Li Tziling. However, after the site died, I took part again as Admin (again) as Kayeri Brant and, along with another User, Albert Myrddin Conrad, attempted to put up a comprehensive history of the world of Code Geass before the events of Code Geass (I.E. the course of Washington's Rebellion, teh forming of the E.U., etc.)

During 2008: I also was part of several Bleach sites that included Bleach Online, Bleach Rebirth, Bleach Soulwarriors, usually as a Quincy (Xu Ling) or a Superhuman (Rai)[/center]

Always nice to have more Chinese Dynasty members. ^^ Since you specify that Kayeri is more of a politician than a fighter, I'm going to approve him as such for the moment. I am PMing you an additional idea as well.
