Imperialis

Name:  
Common:  Imperialis 
Scientific:  [i]Homo sapiens imperialis[/i]
Notes:  Able to directly trace their line of descent back to the original founder of what eventually developed into the old Holy Terran Empire, the Terran imperial family has long prided itself on their superiority over other Terrans.  Though, to most laymen, this is a philosophical viewpoint, the truth is that they have also engineered themselves using the best technologies available to each generation.
Practicing eugenics and transgenics, this bloodline tracked down every genetic relative for breeding purposes in order to try and retain purity of the strain.  However, they recognized that they would eventually suffer from diminishing returns due to the increasingly decreasing available gene pool, so they allowed for the occasional partnering with individuals from outside the family to bring fresh blood into the mix as the occurrence of natural mutations and the use of transgenics were not seen as viable enough to maintain the bloodline.  In the end, this resulted in an off-shoot strain of the Terran off-shoot of the human species that naturally, let alone when enhanced with individual biotech and cybernetics, more powerful and capable in every way when compared to standard Terrans.
The Imperialis strain is known for many hard earned traits.  The most obvious from just a glance is that each individual is usually highly pleasing to most eyes, even often to members of other species.  They are also, on average, highly intelligent with minds easily surpassing those with names like Gates, Einstein, Hawking, and others.  This strain's more potent trait, however, is their almost godlike level of charisma.
After the Fall of the old Holy Terran Empire, the Imperialis sub-strain of the Terran strain of humanity was forced to scatter.  Some remained on Terra and became part of the Zodiac Empire;  others lived through the Exile and helped found the Terran Imperial Loyalists and grow it into the Imperial Union Of Planets - from which a faction splintered off and founded the Empire Of The Rising Sun.  Oddly enough, no Imperialis number in the population of Aku's Holy Terran Empire;  though, given how he started by trying to kill off the bloodline to assume the throne, this animosity with Aku is only natural.
In the modern Imperial Union Of Planets, Imperialis are split into two camps.  One, usually members of older generations, retains old practices regarding keeping the bloodline pure.  The other, however, mostly members of younger generations, is more open to loving who the heart wants instead of arranged marriages.
