Age:

November 1st, 1990
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Hometown:
Orlando, Florida
Length of time on the street:
5 years
Role:
Recovering victim from drugs and self-mutation.
Zero has always kept to himself with his emotions and secrets, along with his philosophy to never accept sympathy. He also has an older brother type personality that developed when he was raising his sister, and despite his efforts to estiquish it completely, there's still that part of him that will always seek to act protective and caring to those around him. Though her death did take its toll on him, and the pain of losing someone so close to him caused him to become a rather dark and depressed person at times when the memories are triggered. His original idea of keeping to himself ties in with this, so in order to escape his depressed thoughts, he once turned to drugs, then later a razor. Now that he's part of a makeshift family, he quit those things for the most part, but he still hides his emotions. If you were able to break his shell, you'd find he cares for his makeshift family.
Likes:
There aren't many things that he really likes. His favorite drink is Whiskey, and he also doesn't mind a good smoke every once in a while. He's also a fan of emo/punk music such as Mayday Parade, Black Veil Brides, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, etc. He's grown rather fond of his makeshift family, but would never admit how much he cares for them.
Dislikes:
He hates the drugs he had forced himself to become addicted to. He's also not very keen on arrogance, and people who look down on them for being homeless. The loud noises of New York drive him up a wall, along with the horrid smell. Often times he'll see a mugger attacking someone, an aspect that angers him more than anything. The one thing he hates more than anything else is attacking someone who has no chance of being able to fight back.
Fears:
He doesn't have any that he's aware of. He lives by the philosophy "If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose."
Dreams:
To get over his drug addition.
Zero was born as Trever Diamond under the parents Amanda and Patrick Diamond. His mother was a hard working woman who was forced to work two jobs, as his father hardly did anything except sit on his ass all day. Early in his life, Zero would wake up to the sound of his mother running though the house getting ready for work before the sun came up, and wouldn't be home until long after it set. When he was young, he never knew what kind of work she did, but as he got older, he discovered she would sell her body to horny men for money. He often questioned why their parents were still together, but he figured it was because he gave her a cover, and she gave him a home. His father was a raging drunk, and Zero learned the hard way to stay out of his way, especially when drinking.
Zero had a little sister. At age eight, his sister, Megan was born. There was little doubt that she was actually his half-sister conceived due to their mothers "night job." Megan became the center of Zero's world. Megan was a bubbly, energetic little girl who, despite her home life of neglectful parents, always sought to see the bright side in everything. Their father never gave her a second glance, so Zero had to raise Megan himself. He was a very protective older brother. He walked her to school, beat up people who picked on her (while getting in trouble himself, but to him it was worth it) and made sure she stayed away from their father, especially when he was drinking. This cause him to get beat a few times.
Megan was a very petit and frail girl. She couldn't really stand up for herself, and had virtually no immune system to fight for her, so she was always getting hurt or sick. Zero took care of her every time she would fall ill. In Zero's eyes, the two only had each other, and he would never tire of watching over her.
Megan died when she was nine years old, and when Zero was seventeen. She had made the mistake of getting to close to her father when he was drunk, and she got hit on the head with his bottles, resulting in a concussion. Zero rushed her to the hospital, but it was to late and she had already suffered brain damage, and she died the next day.
Zero, angry, depressed and numb, discovered the drugs. It started out as a simple addition to the antidepressants he forced himself to take, but later found himself getting high on Marijuana, Cocaine, and Heroin. At first the rush the drugs gave him was incredible, making him forget about Megan, about his family, and about everything. Then later, he found himself unable to stay away. In order to get the money, he'd have to steal and loot, just to get what he though he needed. It was horrible, and sometimes he'd look at himself and wonder "what have I become." Around this time he ran from his home in Florida. and within a year found himself in New York.
In an attempt to quit, he fell into a depression and need to escape the world. In this phase, he took to self-mutation, as the pain of the blade piercing his skin always made him forget. He eventually quit this as well, but only because he joined a group of homeless people. Joining them just might have saved his life, and though he'd never admit it, he cares for them very much.
