The first is the <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">selection from accomplishment</span></span> model, the same used to select your Overseers. With the massive amount of data collected on all citizens, every Jaxtian will be ranked and organized based on their performance; achievement over their lifespan. This method will allow the Supreme Ruler to pick and choose from the bureaucracy who is most qualified and accomplished. However, this method will lead to older, significantly less skilled Supreme Rulers whose neuroplasticity is unsuited for the challenge of being trained as a Supreme. Under this method, bureaucratic selection replaces heroism and destiny. There will be no more Supreme Rulers like Talacent, Vantix... or yourself.
The second is <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">right by conquest</span></span>- where anyone can become the next Supreme Ruler- by slaying the current one in a ritualized duel to the death. Knife dueling is one of your passions, so this one appeals to you greatly. The main advantage of this succession style is that rebellion and subversion of the status quo, like Ingar, now has an outlet for its aggression. There are no assassins in the state where assassinations are legalized. While you're getting quite old, your skill in knife fighting means you think you could still give most of these young upstarts a run for their money- but eventually the young will slay the old and consume them. In this style of selection, there will be no more ancient Supreme Rulers.
The third is to <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">grow your own Supreme Ruler</span></span> through the genetic manipulation and cloning technology. This method will continue what Agori started- with you being the first Indigo Supreme Ruler. Using the bank of genetic information you have access to, these seven Supreme Ruler Candidates from the past can be repurposed, modified, and created again and again to rule the Hegemony. Adding in new genetic information would also be possible- as is creating entirely new specimens from their combinations. While you don't claim to be perfect, somewhere within your genome and the genes of previous Supreme Rulers lies the perfect leader. With this choice, all future Supreme Rulers will be indigos.
The fourth and final method of succession will be the <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">remaking of the aristocracy</span></span>. The noble traditions of the past will continue the current method of choosing a Supreme Ruler- but in microcosm. Only Jaxt, your homeworld, will be where Supreme Rulers are trained and picked. Your homeworld will become like a sacred forbidden city, where the elite and the noble families, highest in the Hedgemony, will create the next generations of Supreme. While the average citizen may not be happy about being ruled by an elite caste, they already are in the form of genes- such is the meritocratic equality myth of the Hegemony. Make the genetic caste the ruling caste in the first place, fill them with noblesse oblige.
Only one system can be chosen to change the future of the Hegemony- forever.
