Zero

Zero is a greedy yet cunning self proclaimed god. His power is unmatched to millions, and his intellect only compliments upon that power. He owns a Casino known as The Crown Jewel, having millions of visitors a year, his gambling abilities make him an unbroken foe. Those who dare bet against him for quick riches quickly sink into debt and misery as they're crushed by his skills. Although generally docile, merely threatening people if they get in his way or tick him off, he's known to kill anybody that seriously gets on his nerves or if they attempt to cheat at his games.

## Main Story

Nobody knows where he came from, he just showed up one day with the other 8 and immediately it was clear he was in charge. His species has only 8 existing in it, with 1 being the weakest and 8 having god-like power. Zero, being 8, is considered a god amongst his universe, and it's very easy to see why. He's unbeaten in every battle, and in gambling. Although he has only met two of his own species, the others being unknown, it is clear that he's the most powerful out of them all.

He originally had the idea to build a Casino upon seeing the amount of money and fame he would get out of it. Thousands of people, throwing away their life savings, just for the near impossible chance of walking out richer than they were, it interested him. He enjoyed watching the idiots break down into crying as they lost their life savings, begging for another chance, hoping that somehow, they'll get it back. It was easy for him to get the funds to build it, as he was already extremely famous in the world for being unbeaten in everything, he was easily able to just threaten someone to give him money. His business quickly shot up in popularity as millions of people wanted to win in a gamble against Zero, to walk away a trillionare, with the knowledge that they beat him in a match. And even with all this, he was undefeated. And as they spent more and more money, his business grew and grew, becoming the national sensation it is today.

Zero's first encounter with his own species was with 2, who went by Jackson. They were pathetic, cowering under his tall shadow, stuttering out apologies and other nonsense. He wasted little to no time talking to them, and hasn't encountered them since. His second encounter was with 5, known as **Sammy**. Despite being under Zero in everything, Sammy never once cowered under his presence, nor did he act as if he were better. Instead, Sammy treated Zero as he would to anyone else, a normal person. Zero was intrigued by this, as everyone else who knew his power cowered under him and feared him, meanwhile Sammy had no problem holding a conversation with him. After a long conversation, Zero offered Sammy a position at his Casino as a waiter, to which Sammy accepted. Their friendship quickly grew, as Zero didn't mind the company of someone who wasn't a bumbling idiot or a narcissistic freak, and Sammy enjoyed the company of the most powerful man on earth, who he merely saw as nothing more than a friend. Eventually they started dating, and as of now are married.
