I wouldn't wait up on me. I have some pretty bad ADHD and may not even get around to making an app myself. But the idea I had was basically the same as yours, but with some minor changes. Namely that I was going to start them off with someone they were trying to make the new emperor. My inspiration was also partly the Praetorian Guard, and in ancient Rome, it wasn't uncommon for the Praetorian Guard to choose the next emperor after a major crisis, so that was the idea. I was even going to do the whole "genetically engineered and eugenically pedigreed" thing (but with a focus on psionic suppression abilities), so it's like you read my mind, hah.

You beat me to it, though, so do as you will with the concept.
