Quote:That's part of the reason why I said it would probably be a member of the Imperial Family. And another thing is that this 'Emperor' would probably view himself as being subservient to the Emperor on Earth.
Dude.. no. That's not how it'd work. Imperial family or not, taking the title of Emperor doesn't mean a you're taking a subordinate position, it means you're the goddamned Emperor. I can tell you right now that unless Akihito has some undiagnosed brain malady, he would not be pleased with somebody taking his title, no matter what pretty words about being a "brother-nation" the new Emperor spins it with.
Making it part of the imperial household is even worse - imagine if, for the sake of argument, Prince Andrew declared himself King of Britain, never mind the whole Queen-Elizabeth-is-still-alive thing or the whole Prince-Charles-is-next-in-line thing. This would be a sign of mental illness at best. If people actually followed him it'd be somewhere between an insult and flat out treason.
So what you've set up here is a civil war in Japan - one instigated by Fen, no less! - with whoever comes out on top not likely to be happy with Fenspace, Emperor and trade be damned. Nice job breaking it, hero.
