• 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.

Daqinren Rooster Form

3vkhLMQ.png
Roosters of The Empire of Daqin are a less common Daqinren form, typically found serving in mercantile or diplomatic roles as a bridge between their people and the outside world. Within the Empire itself, they usually serve as mid-ranking officials, taking on positions such as managers, supervisors, administrators, mayors, and bureaucrats. Roosters are designed to be physically appealing to better facilitate negotiations, with variations between individuals to cater to different ideals of beauty. However, they are uncommon in civilian use and rarely purchased by humans wishing to become Daqinren due to the hassle of maintaining their feathers.

Appearance


Roosters come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with the primary requirement being physical attractiveness. Despite their human-like appearance, they possess features reminiscent of their namesake, the rooster. Their legs sometimes have scales from the knee down, with softer scales and skin at areas where flexibility is important. Instead of typical nails, their toes have small claws. Roosters also feature vibrant, colorful plumage at key locations on their bodies, such as their arms and tail, as well as feathers on their heads that can serve as subtle accessories or more elaborate arrangements.

Enhancements


Roosters, like all Daqinren, have basic genetic augmentations that give them superior physical characteristics and abilities compared to humans. However, their most notable enhancements are related to their mental abilities. Designed to excel in social situations, diplomacy, and negotiation, Roosters possess augmentations that allow them to perceive and analyze subtle nuances in a person's expression and body language. This enables them to better understand the likes, dislikes, and motivations of others over time.

Their mental enhancements also allow them to effectively manage personnel and projects, thanks to a larger mental workspace and an analytical mind capable of memorizing intricate details of numerous individuals. Roosters have excellent perception even among Daqinren and can easily pick out details and movement in their environment.

A more subtle enhancement is a Rooster's ability to change their scent. Specialized organs in their body sense and analyze individuals they focus on, making subtle changes to their own scent to provoke favorable responses. This process is semi-conscious and not fully under their control. Furthermore, Roosters' feathers have added utility, with the ability to bend and move according to their mood and needs, adjust length and volume, and interface with appropriately configured technology in a manner similar to some combat-oriented Daqinren forms.
