Zero is a spirit that lives aboard The Starship Virtue.

## Appearance

Zero wears a purple outfit. They have a hat that resembles that of a jester. They wear a robe that has a lavender lining around it.

## Personality

Zero is very shy, yet hard working. They are known to sleep in on occasion, but this is likely a result of their lucid dreams that they struggle to wake up from. Zero is often sad and unsatisfied with how little they understand about themself.

> "**Zero** is a spirit living aboard the starship Virtue. They are a shy and reluctant spirit who doesn't cause too much trouble around the ship and is usually seen doing odd jobs. Unlike the other spirits on the Virtue who all represent an emotion or an aspect, Zero is not quite sure what they are the spirit of. Given the right task, say putting Soma back together for instance, Zero might be inclined to discover that for themself."

## Background

Zero was created as an imitation spirit by Professor M, who called them Project Omega. They were created with the purpose of containing and destroying Absolution. When Zeta took Absolution's power with the intent to destroy Soma, The Sun King used Zero as a vessel for his power to stop them. Since then, his soul has resided inside of Zero.

## Relationships

 **Reca**

Reca is one of Zero's best friends. She comes to their defense when other people are being mean or unfair towards them.

 **Dockington**

Dockington is Zero's roommate. He is an alarm clock. He is a writer, and asks Zero to tell him about their day so he can write it all down.

 **Lumen**

Lumen and Zero don't have a great relationship at the start of the game. Over the course of the game, they grow to understand each other. They consider each other best friends by the end of the game.

 **Guidance**

Captain Guidance thinks that Zero lacks a proper work ethic because they sleep in often. He expects more from Zero, and as a result can sometimes demand more than he should from Zero. Despite this, Zero holds respect for him as their captain. Later in the game, it's revealed that he and Zero were both experiments of Professor M, and that Guidance holds a grudge against Zero because they (possessed by Bright) stopped him from absorbing Absolution's power. He betrays all of those aboard the Virtue, and loses the respect that Zero held for him. Zero is sad when he dies, showing that Zero still cared for him even after his betrayal.

 **Bright**

Bright's soul has been inside of Zero since the day Zeta tore Soma apart. The two develop a close friendship over the course of the game. They part ways after Absolution's defeat, but Zero carries on his legacy.

 **Alpha**

Alpha and Zero originally oppose each other. Upon learning that they are both experiments of Professor M, and that Zeta has returned to steal Absolution's power, they befriend each other. Zero allows Alpha to stay on the Virtue after Professor M's lab is destroyed.

 **Beta**

Beta and Zero originally oppose each other. Upon learning that they are both experiments of Professor M, and that Zeta has returned to steal Absolution's power, they befriend each other. Zero allows Alpha to stay on the Virtue after Professor M's lab is destroyed.

 **Gamma**

Unlike Alpha and Beta, Gamma is more upfront with Zero and their team. Despite opposing each other, they quickly become friends when Gamma tells them about Professor M and the truth about the spirit experiments. Zero allows Gamma to stay on the Virtue after Professor M's lab is destroyed.
