<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Zero</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Zero<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong> Older than his meat suit looks.<br/><br/><strong>Race:</strong> Demon. He’s a bodiless creature in reality, a half-seen flicker of shadow and smoke.  He exists in the City by wearing a ‘meat suit’ – by possessing unfortunate mortals.  The brutal strength, unnatural speed and inhuman endurance Zero has is due to his possession of the human flesh, but eventually they break down, wear out, or just plain get boring. When that happens Zero moves on.  He can release control over the body he's in, allowing the human mind to come forth but rarely does so. <sub>Note: I will not be possessing PCs without express permission from their player.</sub><br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> <div class="floatright">(http://jerzygirl45.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/jason-momoa-29.jpg)</div>He’s got that animal magnetism going for him, a kind of dark handsomeness, and shiny white teeth when he smiles, wears leather and denim and knives and tattoos.  His poor meat suit was a college boy, once, but after the fights and the tattoos, you can’t tell now.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Preference:</strong> Anything that doesn’t run away fast enough.  In other words, ommisexual.  Really, anything, but animals are pretty boring – they don’t feel guilty.<br/><br/><strong>Former Gang:</strong> He’s run with the Brothers in the past (it’s a natural impulse) and done some dirty work for the Gravediggers because there’s some things even the diggers don’t want to get their hands dirty for.  Zero’s mostly been a free agent, staying beneath the radar of the powerful, managing to mostly avoid becoming chum in a city full of sharks.  It’s a tricky balance and maybe it’s time to hook up with someone else for awhile.<br/><br/><strong>Gang Position:</strong> Soldier, procurer and bookie.  And a pimp.  He’s done a little whoring himself, because sex for money is a great way to make someone else feel dirty and wrong.  He’s never dealt in souls because that puts you right under the King of the Crossroads and he’s a scary, hard-ass bastard.<br/><br/><strong>Weapon of Choice:</strong> He likes up close and personal when someone breathes their last so he’s got a nasty set of knives, good for magic creatures and mortal alike.  He can use a broadsword or a warhammer to crack heads but that’s only when there’s a riot – and he has a FNP90 for those days when he wants to turn someone into sauce.  Possession - he can posses people and make them harm themselves or others.<br/><br/><strong>Additional Skills:</strong> Zero knows where it’s at – whether it’s an illegal shipment of magic arrowheads, or a whore for very particular … tastes, he can find a lead to get the goods.  He’s worked as a bookie, taking bets on everything from horses to human ponies to whether this ‘end of the world’ really is or not (2012 is going to be a bust, in his opinion).  He’s got a few ‘friends’ and fingers in a few pies and that gives him a bit of a heads-up when something important is going on or when something interesting is coming to the city.  In the Fallen, he worked mostly as an extortionist and a fence, busting kneecaps and selling stolen dragon’s blood.  He’s got a demon’s talent for negotiation and a good sense of when to play nice before turning nasty and knows how to run the numbers.  He has a range of demonic talents; curse-mongering, a nose for someone wanting to sin (and figuring out the sin they’re looking for), the ability to inflict pain with a touch, and an unpleasant sensitivity to the truly pure, to sacred ground and to holy water.  He can possess others, moving from body to body with a touch, though he prefers to stick with one favorite 'meat suit' at a time - his possession leaves the victim open to his influence, even after he's left their body - a back door, as it were.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Zero isn’t a nice guy, but that’s what you get with a demon.  He likes to push other people’s boundaries, make them cross lines they’d never imagined they could, then beg for more.  In some ways, he’s easy going for a demon, never been high enough in the Pit to get too ambitious, happy enough to be in the City where he can run a little wild.  He looks for the weak and the vulnerable, loves it when he can dirty up someone pure and sweet.  Maybe that’s envy – it’s been a long time since he was clean.<br/><br/><strong>Bio:</strong> He managed to crawl out of the Pit a while back and that’s the most important thing he’s got going for him.  Running with the Fallen was natural enough, and he didn’t make too many enemies there – but, demons … they’re never your friends.  He had a little crew of his own, extorting chump change from the beastly freaks in animal town but that fell apart and he’s been on his own.<br/><br/><strong>Theme Song (optional):</strong> Warren Zevon:Mr. Bad Example (http://youtu.be/xfMg8xyLy7U)</div></div><div class="floatleft">(http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/headlines/2010/01/jason-momoa-conan-the-barbarian-role.jpg)</div>Zero isn't worried about his girl.  In fact, until quite a short time ago, he hadn't been thinking of her at all - it isn't until he's actually gotten his hands on his new ride and thought about who he could show it off to that he does remember they are supposed to be stepping out tonight.  Well, that's perfect.<br/><br/>He makes damn sure to get a spot in a secure garage though, Lilith's isn't the place to leave anything fine alone too long.  That makes him hurry his steps a bit, as he looks for Charisma.  She knows he'll put her over his knee right in the club if he catches her flirting but that doesn't always stop her.  Sometimes it encourages her.<em>Little slut</em>, the thought is almost affectionate.<br/><br/>Zero isn't a connoisseur of booze and gets a cheap beer - he prefers to spend his energy choosing other perfect things and the sight of Charisma, all gold and white glory, is exactly what he likes to see.  Coming up, he runs his fingers along the arch of one wing, ruffling the feathers to make her shiver.<br/><br/>Leaning down, he whispers in her ear.  "You look good enough to eat, baby."<br/><br/>He means that in all kinds of ways, Zero is a demon and he gets his pleasure any way he likes.  He gives her a kiss on the side of her neck that's a little toothy before sitting down next to her and stretching his legs out.  "Got a new car today.  White as your wings, and I can't wait to get the engine hot, spread you out on the hood and fuck you over it."<br/><br/>Charisma has a thing for cars.
