oh, and on vulkan's page it says "vulkan is a perpetual, which makes him effectively immortal, much like his father." it does not say 'vulkan is a perpetual like his father', but is saying 'much like the emperor vulkan is effectively immortal'. emps didn't age (after age 20 or something), which, in conjunction with him being a unique entity, is the source of his 'effective immortality', vulkan's 'effective immortality' is because he's a perpetual, which actually makes him more 'effectively immortal' than emps - look at everything curze did to vulkan, decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, thrown out of an airlock, thrown into a starship engine! and yet emps couldn't heal from a few cuts. deep cuts i'll admit but still, if vulkan can heal from all that then emps' injuries shouldn't have had the slightest problem in healing if he was a perpetual.

so no, emps isn't a perpetual. there's a chance that he is, with some of the bs gw pull there's a chance for anything, but as well as there being no factual information on emps being a perpetual there is also no evidence for him being a perpetual and it's highly likely, almost a certainty, that he's not.
