• 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.

General Intro 1

KSm6DWh.png

In the 24th Century, humanity is divided.

The American Union has spread across several worlds when it was youthful and full of vigor. Now, it finds itself bloated and corrupted to the point that The Magnetic Assembly has split off an entire system with its cybernetic extremists. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth of Worlds has leaped out from Europe and colonized a system of its own, but finds its ideals of freedom and utopia challenged at every turn. Worse still, the Heaven Forged Republic is only one in name only, its confederacy divided between those looking at the past, present and future.

Of course, humanity is not alone.

The Daqin Empire murderously sprung out of the body of the Pan Asian Combine, its once enslaved transhumans finding their own home in the stars. However, their grudges are deep, as are those of the Aos Si. Scattered across space, they are the survivors of a catastrophe of untold proportions, their star spanning hegemony collapsing into myth and legend. Once forced into hiding by the most ruthless of humanity and only recently reemerging, they are slowly building in influence and strength. Meanwhile, giant, space faring spiders the size of small bears known as Theradectans have made themselves known.

As has magic, its presence returning like the slow ebb and flow of an unstoppable tide.
