It would require Bethesda to pick a specific species and race to be Emperor. That would single out all the other species and races that the player can be. I'm not sure about that. In the past hasn't it been canon for example that the Hero of Kvatch was an imperial, the Nerevarine a dunmner, the Dragonborn a Nord an etc.? Not at all. The Nerevarine's identity is not known and completely up to the player character, as are all player characters. Bethesda sets up the story so that the player character could be from any race/species and any kind of warrior/Mage/thief.
