Empress

The Empress is the female Kami that acts as the ruling monarch of the Greater Galactic Empire and all Humanity. As the only Kami currently on this plane, is the ruler of all Humans and Human nations, even if some states and individuals do not yet recognise this fact. The current Empress is Kameko.

A minor Kami, She is the daughter of Amaterasu, the Kami of the Suns and the Universe. As this plane has yet to be purified, the Empress is still in a weakened form and is unable to create her own divine corporeal form. Thus, She reincarnates within the members of the Imperial House in turn, passing from mother to daughter upon death in a hereditary fashion, also taking their given name in thanks for their sacrifice of individuality to serve the Imperial Truth in the most exalted position. If in a particular life the Empress has had multiple daughters upon death, the Supreme Miko consults with the Kami to determine which daughter the reborn Empress has chosen. Deceased Empresses join their mother's side in Takamagahara and are also worshipped by the Imperial Shrine.

The Empress typically marries suitors from the seven regent houses in order to produce daughters for her next reincarnation, crating vast competition amongst these noble families for the hand of the Empress.

Some misguided humans refuse to accept the Empress's rule and they must thus be corrected, as the Kami are undeniably the masters of Humanity. In the case of non-humans, their underdeveloped mental capacities generally prevent them from understanding the importance of an important figure such as the Empress, and they should either be destroyed completely or put to work aiding humanity to attain greater heights. Thus is the Glorious Mission of the Empire.
