• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    "Hmmmm..." For a moment, it seemed like Hoshiko was actually considering what Jun was saying, but Wen brought up some of the more important questions. "That's the thing. Intel is spotty. We don't know the parties involved, and since we are acting on our mother-empress's behalf, she's probably...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Empire of Daqin, Pínqióng (貧窮) System Tiāntáng (天堂), High Orbit Heavy Transport 172673-262688 Hoshiko was not the mother-empress. "Listen up you Zhūtóu (豬頭)!" the short tiger-princess leaped onto the Jiǔjiā (豬頭) table. All around her, men were quickly throwing out kicks and punches in a grand...

    With all told and done, Wen made a money-tip motion with his hand towards the sheepish woman, and Jun found herself with an extra 10 credits.

    "AAAAAAAAH! YOU'RE ALL DRIVING ME INSANE!" The meatspace-borne scream of agony was so loud that other Daqinren in the neighboring laboratories poked their heads out, only to hide in their work the moment their eyes fell on the tiger princess. Huffed up, tail held high in a furious bristle in...

    The tiger princess gasped like a person desperate for air, and in an instant, the fire went out. Trying not to swoon, Hoshiko struggled to stay on her feet as her VR lobby avatar flickered with static and vanished. As Sakamoto turned to look at the others in worried confusion, Hoshiko heaved...

    Within the halls of The Forbidden City, the group of Daqinren perfectly marched in single file, staying to their 'traffic' lane. Their walk was almost like clockwork, their faces expressionless, the sight of them being no different than a clip of human-made propaganda against the 'evil...

    "Heh." The look of pity that Yáng Jù gave Wen in meatspace was no consolation, as whatever compassion for the young man was clearly trodden upon by the old hag's smug amusement at his temper. "I suppose it isn't what you don't know that is troublesome, but what you are unaware of not knowing."...

    The Empress' grip on Xian and Wen's shoulders tightened. "Ala-ala, no problem at all. I'll just make sure people are informed on entry, and the good doctor will requisition new people, equipment, and time." Zhuli continued to smile at the two. Now that Oumijia was closer and at ease, he could...

    "Whatever happens, I don't intend these to be your last words either," Hoshiko began. It felt awkward and even isolating to talk so much in meatspace, but being cut off from one another, there wasn't any other option. "I'm your commanding officer, and I'm ultimately responsible for you all," the...

    "Ugh. Big sister, please don't be gentle," Yáng grumbled to herself. Taking in a deep breath, she addressed Wen after his tirade. "Perhaps a big stick is what is needed to deal with a head like a bull's," the head surgeon coldly remarked. "Though at least one of you troublemakers are somewhat...

    Despite her tiny stature in comparison to Xian and Wen, the horned centenarian seemed unimpressed. Instead, she peered at the two with her rectangular pupils, the otherwise youthful skin by her eyes briefly wrinkling as her gaze narrowed ever so slightly. What she gave was increasingly becoming...

    As they walked through the hallways and entered a tram station, Hoshiko noticed that the way ahead of them was empty. She knew her mother, and that it meant only one thing. "She's really pissed," she realized. Sitting down in their lobby, the tiger princess pulled out a cigarette holder and lit...

    "Nooooooooooooooo!!!" "Nooooooooooooooo!!!" Like a horribly made human movie, Hoshiko felt herself crying out at her subordinates, time slowing as their life force ebbed and flowed back in like a tide. But she knew it was too late. Would be too late. Was too late. All four of the chongwu...
