Zer0Presence

Zer0Presence is the original ZeroPresence, attempting to regain his hacked account.

He is rumored to also be a connoisseur of porkchops.

## Pre-TNM

Zer0Presence is a DXE user, and did not frequent Forum City very often prior to the events of *The Nameless Mod*. Zer0Presence, while still in possession of his original account, lived in an apartment which can be found in the Central District.

When Bogie manages to steal his original account information during Project Doppelganger, the user attempts to have the account returned to him but is unsuccessful, so creates a new account... and simply replaces the "O" with a "0" in the name.

With lack of administration assistance in the matter, Zer0Presence attempts to gather more evidence of the account theft with little success.

## Events during TNM

Zer0Presence can be found in the Corporate District on Day 2 near the PartyZone Club, attempting to take advantage of the chaos to further his goal.

Trestkon upon initial contact believes Zer0Presence to be ZeroPresence... commenting the whole situation seems familiar. After explanation of the account theft, Zer0Presence recruits the player to infiltrate WorldCorp where he believes ZeroPresence has an office that could contain information about the account theft.

If the player kills Jonas Waever while at PDX HQ, Zer0Pressence will reward the player with a Bioelectric Cell. If inventory is full, Zer0Presence tells the player to make room for the cell.

Once the computer task is completed, Zer0Presence manages to hack a drone delivery system to drop supplies, including an Augmentation Upgrade Canister, onto the roof of WorldCorp HQ for the player, an attempt at convenience due to the quest finishing on the roof. These supplies however are spread throughout the Corporate Sector due to the WorldCorp SAM site registering the drones as targets.

## Trivia

The ZeroPresence vs. Zer0Presence situation portrayed in *The Nameless Mod* is essentially a dramatic retelling of a real life event. The real ZeroPresence created an account specifically for development of The Nameless Mod, quickly forgot the password and what e-mail the account was registered to, so out of frustration created Zer0Presence in order to continue participation in the Off Topic Productions private development forum prior to it being moved to the Off-Topic Productions website.

Lightly alluded to based on day 1 while exploring ZeroPresence's apartment by how the e-mails and note are written, ZeroPresence disabled the automatic password reset system tied to his Forum Planet account. This is how Bogie gained access to his login details.

On day 2 if the player explores ZeroPresence's apartment again, it is found to be booby-trapped. As Zer0Presence ramps up his investigation into finding evidence of his account theft, he returns to his apartment and places the traps in case the stolen avatar returns.

Both ZeroPresence and Zer0Presence rewarding you for killing Jonas is an in-joke between Jonas and ZeroPresence during original development of The Nameless Mod. The pair butted heads on development of certain areas, and joked how due to the nature of how avatars work in The Nameless Mod; theirs would probably try to kill each other as often as possible. The inclusion of Zer0Presence basically giving the same tertiary quest presents the idea that the rivalry is so heavily ingrained in the avatar personality it persists despite having two different users during the events of TNM.
