Character Pointers

Name : does not have to have a last name D.O.B : just month and day, not year. will play a factor later on. Age : must at least be 13, the oldest is 30. Gender : only male OR female, please no 'mystery' ?? here. Height : Occupation : student? part-time worker at a shop? Zone : what zone are they currently living in? ( does not have to be the same zone they were born in, if its different from the zone they were born in mention it in their history ) Demonic Weapon :
Yes you do need to have a picture of the weapon somewhere on the app. ( or if you prefer to make a sep pic for it put the link here for view )  remember to say if its magical or parasite and give a small description of it to describe how it's used. ( if magical describe what element it uses ; ex: a fan that can 'throw' fireballs ) ( if parasite describes what makes it 'animated' -or if it morphs - remember it cannot morph into 230492834 forms. if its focused on something like a gun changing form it can have only up to 3 forms. if its a scarf that has hands that grow, it can grow to any size then -but has a limit - ) No weapon should be able to summon a monster  or etc that will fight for them ( or has a mind of its own ) .
Personality :
Remember to include negative as well as positive traits. They are human. Just because they killed someone doesn't mean that they have to be 'unstable, psychotic , very emotional' and etc. They CAN have those moments where they are overwhelmed with remembering their crime, but mostly we want everyone to have relatively normal/diverse personalities and not everyone being the sterotype 'killer' kind. Zero Form Personality Difference : Yes your character can develop a different personality in their Zero form ( different traits appearing / acting differently while still remaining the same person ) but it is encourage to develop this part via through RPs. It is fine to make some notes down about the difference but overall we would like you to be open about this and rely on character development to shape a personality change if they were to have one in their Zero form versus their normal form. You might want to also add in reasons for why they act differently in their Zero form.
History :
MUST include:
who they killed / how they killed them / how they covered -escaped after killing / and reasoning to why the committed the murder. Please do not just say 'he hated his father, so he took a knife and stabbed him in the heart one day at dinner time. Murder can have as simple of a reason as that, however we want you to 'explain' more about it and not just sum it up in one or two sentences. Include their past , (ex: how did they grow up , who is their family, what zone are they from, etc etc ) any important things about their history that affected why the committed the murder, please include ! History should not include into participating in the World yet. It can go up to receiving the device and their eyes changing but not actually participating in a game yet.
min of 200 words. Just to make sure people aren't only writing a few sentences of their history. We do want people to grow as the group goes on but they need to have a back story too that tells us why they are how they are.

FAQ

if you have any questions that are not found here or in the other blogs feel free to ask us via comment or note.
Will my character know that they are a 'Zero' ?
Yes, by reading the information blogs found in their device they will find out they are a Zero ( the name given to Players in the game ) however they will not know that all the Players have something in common ( murdering a blood relative ) but may find out by talking to Keepers, or from other Players who may have figured it out.
Why are they called Zeros ?
Name given to them by the World, it plays on the term since the other zones are named 1 - 4, because these group of players are 'murders' they are labeled as 'outcasts' by being '0' and do not rightfully belong anywhere. When the World began it caused the eyes of all the Zeros to change and the devices appeared next to them.
Zeros are criminals ?
Being a Zero means that you have committed the great crime of murder, more specifically that of someone who shared the same blood. ( can be more then one person killed, yes half siblings or cousins do count. ) Your character did not have to specifically have known the person they killed was blood related to them ( may have been by chance ) it could have been intentionally or unintentional killing. ( Mother dying by giving birth does not count, but something like driving while drunk with sibling in the car and getting them killed does  - getting hit by drunk driver instead doesn't count because it wasn't the 'fault' of the person to get hit by the drunk driver - ) For the purpose of this group your character must not have been arrested or sent to jail for committing the murder and must still be living somewhere in the city. Or if they were arrested ( maybe for being suspect) they need to be out of custody by this present time. The murder does not have to be recent, it could have occurred a few years ago. Also 'poisoning' someone does count. ( as long as the victim dies before the World starts )
Clothes ?
Normal world is in present day time, so any kinds of fashion that you may see today can be used. Their Zero form doesn't have to be present day and can be fantasy like with armor and etc or modern.
Zero Form ?
They should have some sort of demonic feature to them ( or some difference in their normal appearance ) . Must be the same gender and same body type of their normal form. Yes you can make some altercations to the body type but we do not want anything extreme ( ex: a really muscular tall person having a short, small zero form ) Everything else can be changed. Hair and eye colors as well as hairstyle, etc. They do not have a say in how their Zero form appears, but it does have to do with a mix of their soul / ideals. Zero pupil is always visible while they are in this form. They have the same 'physical' enhanced strengths ( physical strength , jumping far, running fast, enhanced settings ) but do not have their own magic. The enhanced abilities are reasonable and by no means 'super powers'. Their weapon is the main focus to make up for their weaknesses and give them ways to attack. Zero's still look mostly 'humanoid' they can wear masks and etc though.
Disabilities healed ?
As long as they still have that body part, the body part will be restored to normal health. Example would be if they injured their leg and can no longer run, it will  be healed. But if they lost the leg then it will not be regrown. If they are blind, they can regain their sight, if they cannot hear they will gain hearing. As long as they still have the body part that is 'defected' it will be restored to normal health.
Zero Pupil ?
It looks like This. ( 0 color doesn't have to be black, can be any color you wish. Remember it is the 0 with the diagonal slash through it ) Does not have to be always drawn on their 'normal' appearance since humans see their eyes as normal anyways. But when in their Zero form they must always be visible if their eyes are shown. So yes they can be wearing a mask but once it's off they will have the zero eyes. Contacts cannot hide the 0 pupil although the 0 part may be a different color if wearing a different eye color contact.
Demonic Features ?
Examples are horns, tails, wings, fangs, etc. Yes having 'ears' such as cat ears or animal features are allowed but they must be 'demon-ish' so not all just cutesy fluffy moe-ness. If you want cat ears and a tail, maybe add on horns or demon-like wings? Or make the colors of their ears and tail demon-ish in looks. Yes feather like wings are also allowed. Yes elf-like ears are allowed. Remember they must be mostly human in appearance so no full animal faces / full animal bodies. But remember having animal / special features does not give you the actual animal's special abilities. ( having animal ears can make you a little more sensitive but not super hearing; yes you can use wings to fly. )
Demonic Weapon ?
When they enter World 00 they gain some kind of Demonic Weapon. The weapon could be directly attached to their body or an actual weapon. No Zero can use another's weapon, only the Zero can use their own. If another Zero tries to use the weapon, it is 'ordinary' and cannot access it's powers. Other weapons can range from your own design to already made weapons like scythes, guns, chainsaws. Please be creative in its design ! Your character can only have one weapon. ( if it is duel swords or guns, that is allowed. But if something like a chainsaw, you only get one ) When pulled into the game the Zeros will already have their demonic weapons on them. Only parasite weapons can morph or change into different forms. Having a long pole that can split into something like nun chucks is alright.
Demonic Weapon Type ?
Only parasite or magical types. If their weapon is 'magical' while they themselves are not, only the weapon is.  ( ex: if the demonic weapon could be encased in a element such as fire to use to fight, but the Zero cannot shoot fireballs out of their bare hand. The weapon has to be the one to use it directly ) This affects which stat you should focus on increasing. ( physical or magical attk ). Either the weapon is magical ( uses an element to fight with, not summoning monsters or etc to fight for them ) or it is parasite ( animated somehow ).
Parasite?
Parasite are a 'physical' type of weapon and can morph, they do not use an element. ( ex: a scarf that can grow into two large arms to fight with ; claw like arms that can extend ; a snake whip that can move on its own, sword that can change in size, a gun that can change forms -limit it to only 3 forms each - ; hair that can turn sharp ) or an item that can transform into your weapon. Your weapon does not have to morph if you do not want it to. ( Morphing includes any type of animation, ex : would be there being a giant hammer that can grow in length or spikes on a weapon that move ) However the weapon becomes inanimate once you let go of it, you must be touching it to use its powers. ( exceptions to this is like the following ; knives, boomerang like weapons , those will keep animated when they are thrown and will come back to you ) Parasite needs to have a good set of limitations / restrictions / weaknesses if it has different forms. Think of it as the more forms it has = the more it's power is split up into each form. So the more forms we see a weapon have the more we expect there to be more weaknesses / restrictions / limitations for each form.
Magical?
Magical Weapons use a magical element to fight with. ( ex: flaming gloves or gloves that can turn into stone , ice sword that can 'freeze' parts that it touches, fans that can throw water ) If you let go of your weapon ( if magical ) it will revert back to normal. ( ex: a sword engulfed in flames will turn back into a regular sword when dropped ; staff that can throw fireballs, fireballs will poof if staff is dropped )Magical weapons are inanimate. If the weapon is used without the element it is still considered 'magical damage'. It may not make sense logically but that is how the group is set up. Magical's should not be changing weapon form since it uses a element to fight. The element however can change different shapes in how it attacks from the weapon.
Parasite versus Magical Type?
Parasite Types cause more damage if DEF is low, Magical Types cause more damage if MDEF is low. Parasite uses ATTK to increase power and Magical uses WIS to increase magical power. Other then that they are pretty equal in power. Even though Magical Weapon is still a 'weapon' it does not deal physical damage. This is to keep it fair between the two types. Or else magical = physical AND magical damage and parasite would only be physical, we do not want that so we are limiting it to either magical or physical only.  
Occupation ?
Yes your character needs to have an occupation, after all they have to make a living or do something with the rest of their lives. Do they work part time at a shop? Do they attend school? You can include more info about their occupation / why they are doing that job in the history. Yes at the schools in Central there are dorms. Yes they can live in a different zone from where they have to travel for work. Teachers are allowed but be specific on what grade level they're teaching at. ( highschool, college..? )
Can I make a new character ?
Yes it is possible for your character to 'die' in this group and you'll have to re-apply to the group with a new character IF your character died because of inactivity. From inactivity is due to important missions costing 'lives' and when you run out of lives your character dies and you are kicked from the group. If you wanted to make a new character then you can create a new one without having to re-apply( your character will be labeled as 'dead' ). you must do the following... Then you must first submit either an RP log or a deviation about and explaining your character's death to the group to inform other members of their passing. Their name will then be crossed out from the ID # Log and you'll need to send a new note reserving a new ID #.
