What of Nihils?
Nihils doesn't work for me. I'm not sure how to pronounce it, and either way the h in the middle gives it a weird weak sound.
Okay, this is quite convincing. It's also the way of my dislike for '-ities'.
If it hasn't been suggested yet, "Nulls". This has a bit of a sci-fi sound to me; it's the kind of name that Robert Heinlein would give to people without superhuman intelligence, or something like that.
Null is also fine suggestion, but i'm afraid of it's negative connotations. Google tells me it could also mean 'invalid', 'insignificant', 'bogus', 'indistinctive', 'featureless' and 'feeble;
Erm.. yeah, i understand it's all about context and almost every try before means same things, but.. shit, it's hard to not know english
nils.
Nils are fine. Matching with a previous one this has surprisingly clear translation. If anyone is still here — what do you think of pair nils-voids, when 'voids' is a next stage of character's evolution, sort of 'consuming nothing'?
nots.
Nots. Good one too. I used to avoid it beacause of it's pure simplicity, but now i do like it. Also need to know your associations with this one.
nichevok. (while it doesn't carry any meaning in english, it's a really cool sounding word, and the "nich" start reminds me of german "nicht", which is related to english "not" and probably to the russian as well.)
Shit, that's really risky leg
Honestly, i'm not so sure in the whole thing to push my own terms into your language. I'm not ready
For whatever it's worth, I think "Aughts" sounds great.
If choosing from Noughts-Naughts-Aughts, which one is better? I hope you tried the demo and can choose according idea.
I don't like 'Hollows', it just reminds me of Kingdom Hearts. Especially as these entities you're describing do sound kind of like the Hollows in KH...
My 2c.
Never played it, but i went Wiki and read about it. Funny and oddish twist of many good things
But is it 'Heartless' used as names for those black antsy guys? Hollow Bastion, anyway. I got your point, thanks. Hollows is out.
