(For an introduction to the set, see Introduction and Design Challenge 1. Just to reiterate: although this set is based on an anime, I'm soliciting ideas from all readers: even if you haven't seen the series, even if you hate anime. The blurb ought to give you enough to go on.)

The second design challenge happened in November 2014.

This challenge is to design a keyword ability or ability word for the Britannian Faction, and a common creature card using it.

(Faction) – Discussion
The decadent oppressors, the world-spanning civilised empire who believe they're naturally superior to other races. Have a very well-organised military, but suffer from excessive internal politics, entitlement, arrogance, and racism, especially towards the conquered natives.

In the world of Code Geass, the Britannians are the dominant world power who've conquered most of the world, and hold territories in vicious subjugation. They have a great concern for class and hierarchy. They have a very well-organised military, but suffer from excessive internal politics, entitlement, arrogance, and racism, especially towards the conquered natives.

The creature cards in the set for Britannians will represent a mix of soldiers and aristocrats. Many characters are in fact both, since nobles qualify for high-ranking commission within the army. The faction is based in the colours black and white, so it'd be best if a keyword mechanic for them would fit in both colours.

Possible mechanic names could include things like: Decadence, Conqueror, Superior Technology, Oppression, Aristocracy, Arrogance, Dominance, etc.
