• 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.

    Chapter 11: Decision Making

    It was a heavy deal, strings connecting concepts to ideas to promises. Heavy words, things that the Humans simply didn't seem to hold in the same esteem. It was a difference that would have to be crossed eventually, and she slowly nodded. "Those are... Hefty goals. Carries the flag of the future...

    Exclusion Zone: Black Box

    Fyleen's path seemed unnatural as she turned and move back, the hallway froze as she turned and shifted as if trying to convince her, and itself, that nothing was wrong with it at all. What became obvious as she turned out of the doorway was that the perspective of... Everything was strangely...

    Chapter 11: Decision Making

    She wished to pull away and rest, to collapse in the nearest hidden structure and sleep until she could no longer. However, she knew things still weighed on them, questions that would be asked the moment they reappeared, and to answer those questions, they needed more than they could find in the...

    Chapter 11: Decision Making

    The city was loud, filled to the brim with its own overflowing ambiance that one simply... Got used to. In the buildings, it was less extreme, but walking about in public as they largely had been assaulted the senses with a miasma of conversations, arguments, laughter, noises, machines, and...

    Chapter 11: Decision Making

    Sai stepped out, awkwardly taking the additional item as she looked around awkwardly. It was not the best day, it would be wrong to insist upon that, or to lie to one of the few people they consistently spoke who seemed to be honest about his intention. "It would be best if she not interfere...

    Exclusion Zone: Black Box

    ”Return to the ship.” The suits continued to blare apathetically, starting a rhythm of shouting these commands. ”Hazardous weather patterns prevent the continuation of this mission. Return to the ship.” It continued as if saying it again would further impress upon them the importance of their...

    Exclusion Zone: Black Box

    It felt deeper than it looked, as Elluin's hand disappeared into the blackness of the pit. Grasping for that faint image of a handle, awkwardly running against it, having to realign to grip it. The canister was shaped like a cylinder, with the black top that she grasped at having a straight...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    Sai inhaled, holding back immediate verbal bile that threatened to spew itself onto Amisra. "Do not use such rhetoric on me. You treat us like children in one breath then act like a frivolous toddler in the next." She visibly bit her tongue, gathering her thoughts before continuing. "You act...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    "Responsibilities? Bowing knee to their self-serving games is no responsibility that we are indentured to shoulder." She responded blandly, still maintaining the Aos Si language.. "I hardly see why we, much less the others of our species, should pay respects to your private decisions with your...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    She had, admittedly, grown complacent in listening to her surroundings. She had been so fascinated and enraptured by the surroundings, and by the small trinket, that she did not hear the familiar approach of dreaded footsteps. She ignored the pointed words, making a point to pass them to a...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    There was a life here that she hadn't expected in the depths of the city. She had seen it from above, from the distance, and always it seemed a heartless thing. A place without morals, without reason, one where people grew and lived and were corrupted by the immutable presence of the concrete...

    Exclusion Zone: Black Box

    The skull Fyleen inspected was warm to the touch, as if it held ample ability to absorb and hold the heat of the room. It was almost like it still pulsed with invisible life, flooding the skull with the ambient warmth one would expect from a still-living animal. It was well-preserved as if the...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    The trees were contained in large concrete blocks that appeared quite hollow, full of the dirt of the world and prettied up by red grass that filtered up from it. There was far more room for growth than the trees had any real time to grow, leaving space where one day, perhaps the blocks would...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    Sai gave a distant nod as she turned back to the railing, awkwardly laying her datapad against it. There was enough room for it to sit without falling, and it would take some sudden, extreme wind to knock it off, and even then she’d have the chance to grab it and regret her action. No gusts came...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    "Perhaps it would be better if our perception of your people not be marred by its..." She searched for a word, but none seemed appropriate. The ones she knew hardly seemed fitting enough, descriptive in the way she wanted. She shook her head, giving up before moving on. "It would not do well, to...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    She scrunched up her face at the response, turning away as she shook her head. "A knife traded for a vice grip. What a thing to be grateful for!" She muttered. "How much was shifted into the vision of politicians like her? How much was lost or smeared in that process?" She wasn't looking for a...

    Exclusion Zone: Black Box

    The forward breach of the storm wall came far before the bulk of the beast where the dangerous winds and pelting hail resided. Snow and wind increasing in volume pushed forward, diluting into the more still, yet still turbulent shear of the mountain they stood on. The far end began to smear into...

    Chapter 10: True Conversations

    Sai had found strange refuge in the open air, but even it felt tainted by the countless eyes of the city, and beyond. Her skin itched, and she came to the conclusion that even if she could not see them, everything was being recorded, nothing was sacred here. It was difficult to grasp, how this...

    Exclusion Zone: Black Box

    Fyleen's gaze through the empty vessel was interrupted as the AI's meandering and meaningless voice abruptly cut off into harsh and dismal static, which blared loud enough to be heard from the outside as if whatever source it was coming from was being mangled and ripped apart by something...

    Chapter 8: Negotiations

    Sai had spent years sitting in on political discussions and briefings, all intended to impart her with some greater sense of the art so that she could wield rhetoric in the same manner one would a knife. She was, however, not the envisioned scion that her tutors wished her to be. Despite the...
