Initial Update

->''"And this has been our daily Imperator speech!"'' - Assault, making fun of the title character's speeches.
''Imperator'', written by [=JonBerry=], also of Fanfic/ACertainElectricDeliveryman, FanFic/SevenDaysSurvivor and FanFic/ANewJediInAnOldRepublic, is a crossover between VideoGame/BravelySecond and Literature/Worm where Denys Geneolgia of the former, finds himself in Brockton Bay nearly eighteen months before the start of the original story. From there, he joins the Protectorate, and starts to do what he does best - talk.
The Story can be found at [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/imperator-w-bravely-second.612434/ Space Battles]] Creative Writing sub-forum. The author attempts to put out 3-4 updates a week.
!This Fanfiction contains the following Topes:
* AnArmAndALeg / ArtificialArm: Denys removes his prosthetic after the final battle against Kaiser, and has to spend a couple of weeks waiting for it to be repaired. The public is informed that it was an injury and that the repair job is actually new.
* BadassLongcoat: Denys has one, naturally.
* BefriendingTheEnemy: As Imperator, Denys tries to do this to his foes. The most marked success is Lung so far, who views him as a leader worth emulating, even if their goals are different.
* BreakThemByTalking: Denys' bread and butter method of conflict resolution. So far, it has worked on [[spoiler: Leet, Glory Girl and Shadow Stalker]]. However, it has also failed against [[spoiler: Kaiser and Cricket]].
* ConflictBall: The lack of one in the hands of Imperator and Augustana is something that people note, and wonder if there is a deeper problem at play with them.
* ContractualBossImmunity: Imperator keeps this, explained as part of the Kaiser Job. It allows him to NoSell multiple parahuman powers.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: Coming out of Bravely Second, Denys is this, which lends credence to the popular theory that he has prior military experience.
* FakeNationality: As part of his cover story, Denys claims to be from Eastern Europe, with details being withheld to protect the innocent and the guilty.
* FloweryElizabethanEnglish: An AvertedTrope where Denys is concerned. He's a very formal speaker and the author has done a frankly amazing job of keeping to the spirit while avoiding the letter of the trope. Augustana flirts with this for a couple chapters before deciding it isn't for her.
* HundredPercentHeroismRating: Denys is building up to this, and the local Heroes are working on making it stick.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Between Armsmaster, Imperator, Kid Win, Gallant and Augustana, Brockton Bay is developing this theme among the Heroes. It is played up by Public Relations, and joked about by people in the know.
* MagicAIsMagicA: Parahuman powers are completely different than Jobs and the Asterisk system. This has plot ramifications.
* MysteriousPast: Denys has this from the point of view of everyone else. What he has told them paints a very bleak picture of his previous life.
* OfficerAndAGentleman: Imperator's public persona, which is easy for Denys to portray as it's his default state of being.
* SecretIdentity: It's no secret that Imperator is Denys Geneolgia. [[spoiler: Taylor takes on the name of Augustana]] near the middle of the story after dithering on a name for most of the arc. No one is impressed by the choice.
* SupremeChef: By the standards of Earth Bet, Denys is this. However, by the standards of Luxendarc and his own opinion, he is merely mediocre.
* WesternAnimation/TheUnicornInTheGarden: This not-a-trope is where the author admits that he has no idea the details of how Denys met Taylor and her parents. It happened, and it's required for the story, but attempting to explain everything would break the story.
* WreckedWeapon: Denys' sword, Revolution, is damaged at the end of the second arc, and hasn't been repaired. It's implied that fixing a MagicSword is beyond Dragon and Armsmaster, but they are working on it. He gets a replacement from Kid Win.
