Zero Blackheart

Zero Blackheart was one of the sons of Shadow Blackheart and the overall Blackheart Family. As such this made him part Demonic and Draconic; though he rarely demonstrated these traits. He instead showcased more of his Fallen Angel powers. Noted as an incarnation of the Fallen Angel of Misery, particularly the 13th. He is regarded as one of the most infamous criminals as of recent times.   A student of Corus the Revolutionary, influenced by and having taken part with the fall of the Mephisto Empire. His influence was felt within eras such as the Warring States, the Dark Council, the Tatara Wars, the Dusk War, and to some extent the Hell Rebellion... as well as most operations involving the Demonic Arms from the time of its inception to the time of his death. He was considered exceptionally powerful, and rather tricky to be dealt with in combat due to his numerous abilities. Zero was a bit of an anarchist, believing that the corrupt systems of the world deserved to be abolished; though in time he soon turned to the belief that everything should be burned to the ground so that it may arise anew.  

Appearance

Zero's appearance varied greatly throughout the wars, due to constant battle damage and body modifications- and later body theft. His constant features were that of his face. Dark blue eyes described as dark sapphires which could glow silvery white, a pale complexion that never seemed to really change, and then long hair. His hair color in his early years was brown; though during and after the events of the Terminator Wars he adopted his white hair color much as his brother Leo had.   Zero typically could be found in dark clothing, black long coats and cloaks mostly. At times he would sport black angel wings.  

Personality

Zero's personality varied greatly over the years as he was driven further into darkness. Before the Mephisto Downfall he was thoughtful, caring, a bit of a proud warrior with honor. After he met Corus and learn of the Empire's secrets he became a man of conviction and rebellion, seeking to improve the lives of the people. Come the Warring states he became a twisted man who grew sick of people throwing their lives away for a cause they knew nothing about, leading to him lashing out often at his enemies. It was during this era of warfare where his dark side grew rapidly.   Over the course of the Warring States Zero became known for his revolutionary ideals, to take down systems believing them to be leading people astray. Anarchy in short. He began to garner a philosophy on life and pain, cutting off the outside world. Yet when it came to his allies he still appeared to care greatly, willing to do whatever he could to aid them. By war's end Zero had appeared ready to give it all up given peace talks after his defeat; though with Midori's betrayal and the deaths of his new comrades AND the Terminator Wars, all of that would be lost.   From then on Zero became locked to his objectives and beliefs- to destroy the systems and free the people, to build them a better world. His god complex grew rapidly as his depression corroded him. By the time of the Dark Council and Tatara he was not above killing civilians to achieve his goals, and following the second Tatara conflict he would seek peace through burning and killing everything. At the time of his death and final battle, he had been driven so mad that he would betray even his allies and be completely swallowed in grief and rage + his desire to destroy.  

Abilities

His abilities were countless due to the various components of his being. He held Demonic Powers, Draconic Powers, Angelic Powers, Elemental Control, and the God Eye. Though he could not perform true magic he was well enough gifted in various powers of the other aspects of his makeup. He was capable of warping reality to his designs in battle, with the God Eye to turn his thoughts into reality. As well as this his numerous Draconic, Demonic, and Fallen Angel powers.   He had become both a Withered Angel and the Fallen King at one point though both of these powers were temporary. Zero's power allowed for him to even cheat death on numerous occasions. It is said that the only reason he lost to Soul was because of how mad he had become to not even try and escape his demise; though none are absolutely positive if he would have been able to escape regardless.  

History

Background

Zero was born at some point into the Mephisto Empire, a powerful demon tribe that ruled over the Midnight Realm. He was brought up as the son of the Emperor and taught well in turn. In his his mid-teens and the year 39 BHF he met the infamous Corus the Revolutionary, a man who stood against the Mephisto and the rising Federation. The two would go on to form a partnership after Zero learned 'the truth' of his people some years later.   In 37 BHF the now 18 YO Zero confronted the Emperor for the truth, learning of the Emperor's plans to start a war between two rivals in order to both weaken & later wipe away every last soul in both rivals. He attempted to cut down his father; though in doing so killed his elder brother, and following was forced to flee. He later returned with the elite Taoreta and raided the capital, killing his father and after leveling the city by accident. From this point on he would be hunted by the Federation.   Zero, Corus, and the Taoreta eventually traveled to PSony-3's Home Lands. They would work at first as mercenaries to gain profit and attention. Over the coming years the Taoreta became the Sapphire Ravens, a group under the influence of Corus and Zero both. As the Corporation Wars revved up in the following years, the Ravens would ready themselves for action under Corus's leadership, with Zero acting as the second in command.   All began with Mercenary Clashes, with which the SR allied with 'like-minded' organizations. In the year 24 when the war began proper the Ravens began to work hard. During this time Zero met Shadow Blackheart his father as well as several siblings. And from then on the Ravens began to work for the Shadow Dominions under Shadow. After 22 BHF with the tides changing the Ravens faced many more enemies, less corporate and more gang/guild related. With Corus's message of Revolution and the power Zero's guild amassed, they became capable.   In a bid to etch themselves into the spotlight they adopted a name of evil to go against the status quo- The Demonic Arms.   The Warring States Period hit hard in 19 BHF with the arrival of the Cynder Alliance. The likes of Kimmy the Time Lord, Tyrant Dash the Sealer, Sujit the Machine, Kovu the Strong, and many more would prove themselves capable. The Alliance would prove most capable of strong arming Zero's strongest fighters, stopping even his own march. To compensate an arms race began.   Zero had begun to experiment on not only himself but others- implanting components such as Sharingan (Naruto) and parts of the spirits of Hollows (Bleach) and Soul Reapers (Bleach). Through experimenting on himself he acquired the God Eye, and by experimenting on others he created the J-Zombie Project. He would also experiment with numerous methods to prolong his life as well as the lives of his comrades, including pulling a literal Davy Jones by placing his heart in a box so that his body would be invincible.   Eventually Zero would get cornered with the Battle of Lockwood, facing certain death. To escape he would forfeit his own body, using the God Eye and his Fallen Angel powers knowing the latter would reincarnate upon his death, to steal the next incarnation's body. He anchored his soul to the aspect and would later hijack the body of the 14th Incarnation of Misery; then using the God Eye he restructured the body in months to become more accommodating. The fighting resumed again even as the Cynders left.   It would be the Federation who would finally take the Zero-Alliance down. Tara and her task force ambushed & defeated the Fallen Angel; though rather than kill him they instead offered mercy, insisting peace & rebuilding be the goals going forward. It was accepted, and so Zero surrendered to the Federation and following the Federation's arrival the violence would die down.   All would be good up until 9 B.H.F. when one of Zero's former scientists- Dr. Midori, turned rogue. Revealing a machine army, Midori used his forces to attack and wipe out the conference's leaders one by one. Tara would be killed in the battle, and a wrathful Zero would barely escape with his life. This event would trigger the Terminator Wars.   Zero joined many others in fighting the Terminator Wars, forging a new alliance which would fight for over a year. And after the year he would be there at the final battle, an all-or-nothing final assault on the center of Midori's operations. With the final strike and the loss of his team the war would end though at a cost- the Vertex Bomb which would end the Home Lands in due time. Remnants of the machines also continued to fight under independent command.   For Zero though the war was over, wrapped in grief he retired from the front lines and disappeared. From 6 BHF until 6 AH, a decade, Zero would be MIA much like the rest of his family- until appearing in the Mugen Realm.   From 8 AH until 37 AH, Zero was a constant presence of anarchy and rebellion. He'd descend further and further into madness as the years went on, consumed by his own mind and warped by his own power. He would join his Demonic Arms with the Dark Council and go to war against the new New Genesis Alliance. He would occupy parts of Mugen's Hell. He would invade the Mugen Heavens. He and his associates would destroy much of what the Alliance was trying to establish and even fight against the Federation once more.   Come the time of the Tatara though, Zero and his forces would be crushed like the rest of the Dark Council. He was present during the war, helping and fighting the Tatara at numerous points before disappearing from the spotlight. Zero would make appearances a few times up until 19 AH at which point he'd vanish. It is said though that his influence behind the scenes played part in the Tatara's second invasion as well as the eventual Dusk Wars that followed. Zero also helped stage the Demon Rebellion.   Zero would be found again in 37 AH nearly two decades since his last appearance. Confronted by Soul Ripper of the New Genesis Alliance, Zero agreed to a final battle- having amassed enough power and Chaos Energy from all of the wars to create a super weapon said able to be capable of destroying an entire star by infecting it like a virus. During this battle Zero and the weapon had fused, the fallen angel pushed to his limits by Soul and his Beast. What exactly happened is unknown due to the distortion of reality; but by battle's end- Zero was slain. His essence erased.
