Biography
The Vaguely Dragon-Shaped Eldritch Voidbeast
Most don't remember what it is to be nothing, or what the meaning of that is even supposed to convey. Some say it is empty-- yet, how could one be empty if there was nothing to fill it to begin with? Others will say, it is lonely, it is dark, it is barren and cruel and oppressive in its non-existence. Null laughs, because the Nothing is all of these things and none of them at the same time, and it makes that strange, non-smile of his grow ever wider at the simple perplexity of the thought. To imagine a space of Nothing, where there is no feeling, no light, just a void of desolate hollowness...
Well, he thinks it's quite nice, really.
Existence, he says, is rather cumbersome. It's busy. It's bright, it's painful, it's full of chaos and unpredictable natures and feelings. Oh, Gods, the feelings. Null doesn't enjoy those as much. In the void, where Nothingness was absolute and impenetrable, no one (being Himself, as there would be No One else but the void anyway!) worried about silly things like emotions. There was never just one of them, to start; feelings came in pairs, sometimes in extremes, and if there's any such one that he felt was the most pervasive of them all, it was exhaustion. Feeling anything was a strained, unfamiliar sensation in a body that was not quite a body, and in a mind that was unaccustomed to thoughts and memories and processes of external stimuli. And to be tired of only the half dozen or so he'd experienced thus far was already giving him a headache (and that, in itself, only exacerbated the problem-- how does anyone explain pain to a creature that previously knew nothing of pleasure? More headaches abound!).
Ugh. Existing was so tiresome, really.
Most don't agree. He doesn't mind, though he finds himself wondering-- and ah, what a curious little feeling that is, wonder-- why those he speaks to shy so far from the mere idea of non-existence. They cannot grasp the thought of it, for the very nature of Nothing is slippery and intangible and indescribable in the small, garish words of language these beings use. They have no word to accurately depict the Nothing, and Null has begun to suspect they might never devise one, if only because it would be terrible paradox and likely just impossible for them to know enough about the experience to describe it.
He's tried to a few times, even in multiple combinations of their clipped, basic language, but it doesn't stick.
So he calls it the Nothing, and they fear it, because it is unknown to them. They instead call it a word that he does not know, and perhaps there is an irony in that. Death, they say. Null does not quite understand that concept itself, the crossing of existence into the Nothing. It was and is Always and Never, because that was how the Nothing worked-- and absolute removal from Being, as there must always be an opposite force in the Universe, and they must not intersect or else there would be no distinction to begin with. One cannot exist and then just...not, because there was already existence and thus will forever be. A physical body may change its shape, but it is always there in some form or another.
They say, "But you did not exist before, and now you do. Certainly if you crossed from Nothing into Something, the opposite is true."
Null doesn't know what to say to that. Has he then always existed?
Now he has another headache.
