Just when I thought the creators couldn't get more special....

From this post:

-Kawaguchi P talks about the timeslot change and how it altered their original plans considerably. They had written up until episode 3, but had to discard and redo everything. At first, it had been decided that the winner in the showdown between Suzaku and Lelouch was going to be... Lelouch º__º'' (I didn't know this. Has it been shared before, when there was that discussion about the original plans for R2 being completely different? Maybe I missed it lol). Both FukuJun and Daichuu think it's more logical that Lelouch lost a fight in which he needed to use physical strength, plus Suzaku would be able to dodge any bullet XD

-After it was decided that Lelouch should lose that fight, their initial idea was to have him stay inside a cell during the day and make him escape and act as Zero during the night, but such maneuver wasn't very Lelouch-like because it also required being active and energetic (lol Lelouch you shall forever be known as the weakest anime character ever). Therefore, the Ashford Academy became that "cell", and as they needed somebody to keep watch on Lelouch, tadah! Rolo was born =D. That's right, Rolo owes his existence to Lelouch's lack of stamina! lmao

This all is kind of tempting me horribly. How would you (and Code Geass cast in general) feel about a possible Rolo in the near future?

Well, considering that two of the castmates canonically get along with Rolo, two barely know him and the other is always up for everything, it sounds interesting! But I'll ask around. Nunnally and Rolo would be so so cute.

Nunnally is one of the most tempting factors for me, I admit |D If you can ask around, it'd be really great! I considered apping him before, too, but because he would probably be a serious hassle for Lelouch (he is obsessed with him, after all) I thought it would have been kind of problematic. If it's fine though, then I might app in the next round and if I get in, we can work something out together! I thought that I could take him after his death, actually, because by then he would probably be just slightly less crazy and not... try to kill whoever gets too close to Lelouch. ... do i have to take it as a sign if my recaptcha has the word "assassinated" in it?>
