This is not a god-emperor.

This is a god whose name is "Emperor."

Long-dead, he was the last ruler of a once-powerful empire whose cultural influence outlasted it.

Was he deified in his lifetime? We no longer know. But he is deified now.

While his memory lives on, his true name has been lost. At some point, the word "emperor" ceased to have meaning except when referring to him, therefore his name is now Emperor.

God Emperor of Mankind

The Big E, the Anathema, the New Man, the greatest embodiment of universal order in the galaxy, the one and only leader of humanity in the darkest of hours.

Also I'm too bored and tired to add more shadows and colours and details ughh
