• 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.

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana almost stopped Nardual from reaching for the laced popsicles, but she hesitated long enough for him to take one. "This is a small taste of what the Empire can provide," she remarked, building off of Jun's encouragement. "I have already had one. We hope you find it... illuminating." With...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana, on the other hand, was mesmerized by the strange and mystical landscape. "Fascinating," she mused. "Absolutely fascinating. This must be the power of the heartstones, right?" She stood and walked to the edge of the howdah, setting her worries aside for a moment as she absorbed the...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    "I can certainly try, Princesa," Aitana replied with a warm smile. She moved to sit next to Xian, both in reality and VR, then began to thoroughly explain how her mother and the Mother Empress complement each other as leaders of the Empire. The albatross mused on how the Tiger General's keen and...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana had only just returned to the virtual space as her new companions' previous mistakes were revealed to her. "Genial, ahora soy niñera," she muttered to herself, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Perhaps I should request a Yǐtiān Jiàn from the Empress herself when this is all over." Her...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana's eyes remained locked on Reina for a while, after the doctor had taken away the heartstone. Giving the gem away was probably a good idea, but her intrusive thoughts were telling her to take the treasure back, by any means necessary. "You have one of those in your body?" She asked Wen...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    The albatross glanced skyward. "With the number of VIPs here, the rest of the Empire is bound to notice our disappearance," she remarked, as her body began to settle. "Until then, we adapt. Lesser people have escaped worse situations." Aitana once again glanced at the pearl in her hand. She was...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    "I-" Aitana once again looked perturbed. Silently, but frantically, she tried to reestablish contact. The orbital platform, the fleet, the Empress herself... nothing. Her feathers stood on end, and her expression shifted from soft to stony. "No response. We are cut off." She glared at Nimue...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    For once, Aitana seemed genuinely shocked. She briefly wondered if this intrusion had somehow been her fault - a result of her newfound obsession with the heartstones. Just in case, the virtual gem around her neck vanished, and she stuffed the real one into one of the pockets on her flight suit...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana let out a small affirmative grunt at Xian's comment, as she rapidly filled out the princess's paperwork. "Agreed. My wings have flown home for now, but I have the orbital platform on speed dial, should the need arise." Satisfied with the state of her plumage in realspace, she picked up...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana offered a bemused smile to Hoshiko as she found her seat. "Thank you, Princess, I am honored to be included," she replied. As she settled in aboard the howdah, she let her hair down and rolled up the sleeves of her flight suit, allowing her to straighten and preen her feathers. The...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana held her fire as the Aos Si approached the stricken monsters, and watched carefully. The gunship's engines spooled down as it drifted toward the ground, and the commander emerged from the cockpit in her flight suit. In VR and in meatspace, she pulled up a holographic control panel, and...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana's brow knitted in VR as the creatures closed in. The one in front of the howdah was too close to engage now, at least without risk of harming the testudine or the VIPs. "Princesas, Doctor, I apologize," she sighed. "I believe my attention is needed elsewhere." She looked at the two...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Aitana leaned forward in her virtual seat, with a hint of frustration visible on her otherwise calm face. "These are tenacious opponents," she remarked, her eyes rapidly analyzing the battlefield in virtuality and meatspace alike. "And they're pressing the attack. Xian, Sun, if I may, I advise...

    "Ah, thank you... Doctor, I presume," Aitana replied to Reina, as she took her seat. She politely ordered a black coffee and sipped on it while she listened to their conversation. Despite being fairly tall herself, the albatross looked rather tiny seated between the viper and the bull. The...

    Commander del Valle listened carefully to the rapidly evolving situation below, and considered her options. She soon came to a decision, and she addressed Hoshiko. "Understood, Princess. Orbital bombardment is too risky at this time - I shall come down there personally to provide close air...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    An agonizing few seconds passed before Wen received a response. Because the connection extended from surface to orbit, the individual who answered the call could not fully manifest in the surface group's VR space. Therefore, they only appeared as a floating symbol: an insignia which would be...
