Profile

As the last living remnant of a powerful family of vampire hunters, Zero is a young man whose life has been plagued with tragedy, loss, and absurd volumes of high school social drama. As an act of revenge against his family, Zero was transformed into a vampire as a boy, leaving behind a bundle of issues that would surely have been worse if not for Yuuki's efforts to ease his suffering during their childhood. A composed, intimidating exterior conceals a deeply wounded, but kind person who has become mired in hatred and resentment that does not altogether exclude Zero himself, or his loved ones. The revelation of Yuuki's origin as a pureblood shook him deeply, and he has immersed himself in his career as a vampire hunter ever since. Trained from a young age to hunt monsters and transformed into one himself, Zero is not only as adept as a professional soldier but also monstrously physically powerful. With his handgun Bloody Rose, he wades through foes like a demigod wreathed in thorny vines, unmatched by all but the most absurd enemies.

Disadvantages

Fantastic Racism: Zero hates vampires, and vampire-like beings. Prolonged exposure to individual vampires who prove themselves harmless can mellow him out towards them over time, but his initial reaction to all such beings is the same: Give me a reason to kill you here and now. He does not spare even himself from this prejudice entirely, reflected largely in his habit of starving himself painfully.


Hunter's Brand: A tattoo on Zero's neck which helps suppress his vampiric nature, and bind him altogether if need be. A bracelet, currently held by Yuuki Kaname, is the other piece of the restraint. When the bracelet is brought into contact with the tattoo, Zero is immediately immobilized by a powerful spell. It doesn't harm him by itself, but it does render him utterly helpless until cancelled.


"Issues": Zero was turned into a vampire against his will, and it's lead to a number of tics and problems that are not necessarily immediately obvious. He has some issues being touched, particularly by vampires or anybody who has had physical contact with vampires (see above), and experiences disturbing phantom sensations along his neck where he was bitten.


Socially Inept: Zero can hardly passably deal with his own feelings and impulses. His ability to deal with others is similarly stunted, and for the most part the best he can manage is to project the image of a 'scary guy', or a jerk.


Vampiric Urges: Though he hides and suppresses his vampire nature, Zero can't escape the physical realities of his condition. He suffers debilitatingly painful episodes when he doesn't drink any blood, which is basically all the time. Blood tablets act as a supplement that keep him from attacking people out of hunger, but don't actually fill him or stop the aforementioned episodes entirely.

Miscellaneous Information

  • Zero's status as a vampire is privileged information. It is available in his Union medical records to those with proper medical or psychiatric qualifications. Accordingly, while it is not extremely difficult to acquire, it isn't common knowledge and cannot be obtained trivially.
  • Zero's official psych evaluation correctly establishes him as a kind person who is horribly damaged. He dislikes most physical contact and self-identifies as human rather than as a vampire. His hatred for vampires is highlighted several times, and notes include that this extends to borderline suicidal self-hatred. Tendencies towards self-starvation and the simple act of living an approximately human life (and therefore having an irregular sleep schedule for a vampire) leave him in a constant state of low-level irritation.
  • Zero's attitude towards children is more agreeable than with other adults.
  • Zero's attitude towards other vampires and beings that are "close enough" is extremely negative, and given that he can sense such beings quite sharply he often has a seeming inexplicable dislike of them even on cursory contact. Yuuki Kuran is the only total exception, with a small selection of other vampires having earned some small measure of trust over time.
