• 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.

    "I see." The fair skinned Aos'Si picked up yet another crisp before delicately popping it into her mouth with another crunch. "Is it bubbly?" she asked, the Chongwu attendants maintaining their outward calm in meatspace as they prepared the baijiu. "Don't worry, this chǔn dàn (蠢蛋) is bluffing,"...

    "Well, so far, she's gravitated towards 'Goddess', 'Goddess of the Full Moon', 'Goddess of the Unending Seas', and Viz Istennoje in her native language," the poodle-chongwu cringed, well aware of how ridiculous this all sounded. "If you insist on talking to her in Daqinese or the more antiquated...

    "Trumpets and such?" Hoshiko thought aloud. It didn't sound like too bad an idea. ------------- Empire of Daqin, Pínqióng (貧窮) System The Forbidden City, Secure Containment Point 250 (二百五) Within the confines of The Forbidden City, where no human may tread, there was a place equally secure...

    "Given her containment here on the station, you can appear before her once you are ready," the Empress handed over a note. Hoshiko reached out and read it, the information updating for them once she did so. "However, I do note she is not too keen on our holograms. You are better off speaking to...

    The empress paused for a moment to think about what was said by the two cows. "As compatriots, it is only fitting to give constructive feedback and advice," Zhuli explained to the non-royalty. In meatspace, their tanks began to decant as their genetic repairs finished. "Besides trying to hand...

    "Ugh, knock it off," Hoshiko grumbled back at Jun in private, having decided to change her text colors since her mother was here. "Nothing happened!" "Astute observations!" The Empress quietly mini-clapped with her hands. "Well. Mostly," she briefly paused, making sure not to look at the...

    "For that nerd? Bleh." Hoshiko stuck out her tongue and crossed her arms, still miffed about the incident. "Āla-āla. Mother, like daughter," the empress noted with a smile. "General Xian Leang and I work together quite well precisely because she is the warrior, and I am the diplomat," she...

    "For better or worse, our esteemed Tiger-warrior is correct," the Empress acknowledged Xian Guanxi's observation. "One of the first things that her mother, the esteemed Tiger General Xian Leang, had seen on the other side was the xeno-minions of the traitorous and wily Heram Wazu," she informed...

A Warrior Princess must be capable!" she proudly clenched a fist. Inside the meatspace confines of...

    Inside their virtuality, Hoshiko looked around, the expressions on everyone's faces ranging from too far jaded or incredulous to speak. It probably consumed less calories and processing power to at least message each other there, but there was some sort of comfort in talking in meatspace that...

    Spying the splashing and shouting, the floating sphere of water lashed out at Wen, but the others were quick to shoot down the aquatic lances. Water explosively vaporized into steam, and its inscrutable mind changed tact - water began to drain from between their legs even further as it grew...

    "Ha! Jiàng Sǐ (將死)!" Hoshiko grinned in their virtual spa, snapping her fingers and bursting into a victory dance. But it was short lived, the princess freezing in horror. Her meatspace body saw what was beginning "No." Her own flash-bang was already primed. "Nonononono," Wen was charging at her...

    Thanks to the hologram systems built into her helmet's exterior, the Aos'Si Caster could see the expression on Hoshiko's face that said something like, 'I'm with stupid -->' in regards to Jun. At least, until she turned her attention to the magical assembly that was being worked on. Soon enough...

    The creature's enlarged, toothy head stared up with pale, milky eyes that seemed to not see as Xian delivered another blow to its tough head, just to be sure. Like an angler fish that had grown long, gangly arms and claws for catching maiming and mauling, the rest of its fish-like body did not...

    Xian's stun grenade flew down the hallway and skipped off the ground. Entering the command center and curving around the lip of the doorway, the grenade vanished from sight as Xian dashed forward. With a tremendous flash and bang, the tigress rounded the corner.

    The spearman, having finished placing his Heartstone, humored Xian's orders and came along. "A Node on the Tree of Life's roots acts as a portal, and as such, can be compromised and attacked from the other end," The Caster explained to Wen. "The ancient scriptures described this facility as...

    In meatspace, Jun covered the entryway as the others entered the room full of knee high water. It was a little irritating translating some of the alien text, but according to it, Xian was covering the Embarking entryway. Hoshiko entered as well, laser gun at the ready, but gave a halfhearted...
