PsychZero
PsychZero’s origins lie in obsession—an obsession born in the blood-soaked trenches of World War II and carried like a ghost into the paranoid corridors of Cold War black science.
In the early 1940's, a rogue French biochemist succeeded where entire nations had failed. Working in secret with captured metahuman tissue samples and arcane biochemical theory, he developed a prototype serum he called Psi-09. The formula had one intended purpose: to awaken the dormant super powered potential hidden in the human mind.
Before its creator was gunned down by Axis agents, a single batch of Psi-09 was smuggled out by the french resistance into the hands of British Intelligence. That tiny supply was administered to a select few Canadian and British soldiers —and the results became legend. Subjects displayed extraordinary abilities: though no two were alike all were unstoppable.
But Psi-09 died with its creator. He destroyed his own notes rather then let the Nazi's get their hands on them. No scientist since has been able to replicate the serum’s impossible stability. The dream of controlled, psychic enhancement died with the war… or so the world believed.
In 1987, deep within the CIA’s Black Division, that dream was reborn as Project ZEROPSY—a covert initiative designed to reverse-engineer the miracle that was Psi-09. Using fragmentary wartime intelligence, research stolen from the Soviets, and biochemical data sourced from captured Extras, ZEROPSY aimed to craft the next leap in super-soldier warfare: a formula that could awaken any power in anyone.
The resulting compound, Z-0, was powerful—but disastrously unstable. Early tests yielded short bursts of immense psychic potential—subjects gained immense strength and walked through a concrete wall, ignited fires with their minds, or tore themselves in half by accident.
After multiple fatalities, mental collapses, and one spatial rift that swallowed an entire bunker room, the project was terminated in 1991 and officially buried under the name Zero Psych Viability.
But Z-0 didn’t stay buried.
Within three years, a derivative of the serum—PsychZero—surfaced in South America. Its arrival was sudden, precise, and violent. Cartels used it to enhance enforcers. Death cults drank it in ceremonies. Syndicates auctioned doses to the highest bidder. Unlike its predecessor, PsychZero wasn’t aimed at stability. It was aimed at impact. For five minutes, you could become a god. For the rest of your life—if you survived—you'd be a ruin.
Today, PsychZero circulates like an urban legend made real. A last resort for desperate Specials, power-hungry criminals, or those looking to matter—no matter the cost. Its legacy is not one of evolution, but of corruption—the twisted shadow of a miracle mankind was never meant to repeat.
