• 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.

Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Escaped Trans-human slaves have establish their own Empire that seethes with resentment at abuses of the past. The machines that run Humanity increasingly think they should be in charge, and not everyone disagrees. Humanity's own problems have not yet been solved, and there is still no hope of creating a united front against the dangerous lurking in space.

We know we are not alone, and something is killing our neighbors...

  • Interpol
    Interpol - Interplanetary Criminal Police Organization/Organisation interplanétaire de police criminelle - has been in existence in one form or another for 400 years. Needing a team of troubleshooters to deal with problems that pop up in the Sol system, the higher ups picked the newly minted Captain Beatrix Simmons of Scotland Yard to head the team and to focus on the most thorny issues on their plate, from Chongwu trafficking to drug running.

  • Mandibles into Flesh | Steel unto Chitin
    The colony world of Eos, the pearl in the rough of the independent Grönskande System, has since gone dark as a malevolent external force lies in wait for the response team investigating.
