• 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.

Zhànshòu

Page
The Zhànshòu (戰獸) are War Beasts made strictly for combat or combat adjacent roles within the Dìguó Jūnshì (帝国军事).

Varying greatly in form, they can be as simple as animals modified for reconnaissance and harassment, such as owls, bats and even swarms of wasps. On the other, more extreme end, the things weighing in would include sub-sapient, armor clad, gun wielding gorillas. Despite their base appearances, these latter abominations are best thought of as battle droids made out of unfortunate amounts of flesh and blood. Though not the quickest to be produced or lowest maintenance options available, they are important for being the most affordable, as they use far less rare earth metals and other valuable materials in their production. To compensate, they are produced in large batches using medical technology that is widespread in The Empire and attributed to the Chǒngwù (寵物). Meanwhile, should genetic modification fall short of certain criteria, their cybernetics are rudimentary, being both easy to produce, and salvage.
