I'm currently acting as the HG of a small Nobilis group over IM, and we've stumbled upon perhaps the greatest Imperator idea ever... or at least the best I ever heard
The group is made up of:
the Power of Warrior Spirit
the Power of Words
the Power of Storms
and the Power of Bending
Their chancel is like a milieu of various settings, a great city with three districts:
The poor town is made up of gritty, crime-ridden slums protected by rugged anti-heroes and is mostly black and white, a la Sin City.
Middle-town is made up of a Fantasy city, populated by medieval folk and spellcasters. Standard sword and sorcery.
The richest part of town is Sci-Fi - teleporting, food synthesizing, androids, and lots of seemingly alien visitors.
So now the group had to pull these all together and find an Imperator that fit them and the Chancel. And then lightning struck. Where do all these elements come into play, and just what kind of creative mind would make something this grandiose? They decided their Imperator and Chancel were none other than the representation of Roleplaying games in their various forms.
So now they just needed an Imperator, one who would fit such strict guidelines, and they settled upon one of the most genius I'd ever heard:
Ascended to the heights of power by the love and admiration of countless people all across the mortal planes, Gary Gygax takes his rightful place as Imperator of Fantasy.
He presides over his realm with all the care and love of a benevolent father, helping the people his legendary works helped to form. And even after his death, Gygax's deep ties to the very fabric of reality subtly weave the intricate threads of fate, and he continues to watch and guide all those who game, whether they be the most dedicated of players or a few kids tossing dice over an old DMG one boring afternoon.
