All stats are for his human form only unless otherwise specified.
Full Name: N/A (its best described as an unpronouncible string of computer code)
Human Form Name: Zero Nada
Nickname(s): Missing No.
Apparent Age: Early Twenties
Age: 10 Billiion years, give or take
Height: Taller than average, but not by enough to make him seem freaky
Weight: He is lightly muscled, but has an extremely lean looking body. The muscle balances it out to about average.
Gender: N/A (appears male in human form)
Race: Sentient Computer Virus
Alliance: Evil (but leaning rather strongly towards Neutral thanks to Serenity's captain, Malcom)
Home: Cyberspace - He was born from a programming glitch
Franchise: Pokemon (technically)
Physical Description
He's tall, lean, and quite firmly falls into the category of "bishounen". He has extremely long white hair seperated into three ponytails that defy gravity in the method of most anime hair. Each of the ponytails is tied off with a grey wrap. His bangs are relatively long and curl around his face. They are a bit jagged. His eyes are red, not in the sense of albino pink but quite red, although most pass this off as contacts.
He dresses rather sharply in a white suit. He has grey boots and a grey shirt underneath his suit jacket. The buttons on his shirt are white. He wears a pendant on a deceivingly strong thin metal chain. The pendant is made out of the same metal as computer chips and has two lines, both centered. The top one reads "000", the bottom one reads "Zero". The space above the three zeroes and the word are equal. He likes to wear the pendant out so that people can see the etching.
His true form is rarely taken in the real world. Its best described as a bunch of boxes distorting any reality behind it when looked through. They are semi-transparent, and its almost like a digital signal breakdown. And actually, his truest form is a bunch of indecipherable computer coding.
Weapons
Zero doesn't use weapons, and wouldn't know how to use most. He can take a gun and shoot fairly well, but he finds weapons in general to be disdainful. Far too messy, he would say.
Abilities/Powers
His main power is so woefully unreliable, its almost a joke. However, on the rare cases it works its probably the single most devastating attack in all existances. Basically, he can will things to disapper. Not get sent to another dimension, just simply vanish from existance. He can do it with a thought but his more theatrical personality traits means he will generally at the very least point at the object.
Usually, all that happens is the object appears to digitally break up for a few moments before repelling his attempts and returning to normal. Sometimes it'll "reform" incorrectly, such as a plush doll's ear reforming on its arm.
The attack actually has a fair degree of success on computer programs or virtual worlds. In a normal setting, he can gesture towards a person's USB drive and completely wipe out the contents. Computers take a little more work, and it tends to be rather random what gets hit. Systems with really good security can repel the attack pretty well, making it only a little more likely to succeed than a real world version.
It is far easier to wipe out inanimate objects than living things, as living things have more "fight" in them than objects. In terms of virtual worlds, it would depend on what he was trying to wipe out. A lamp post wouldn't be hard at all. Downloaded people give him almost as much issues as real people. It really depends on the amount of autonomy possessed by the coding.
It should be noted that when he wipes out computer files or programs, they are wiped from the Hard Drive COMPLETELY. When you delete things manually, it actually has an echo that stays on your computer. Zero gets rid of all of it, and its like it never existed on the computer.
Skills
He can read binary. It actually qualifies as his first language. He can program just about anything he wants to, but as his general purpose is to destroy, he never does. He can identify a computer infected with a virus just by looking at it.
His biggest skill, however, is probably his shapeshifting. He has two (three) forms. Two of which he can take in the real world. His human form, which he has dubbed Zero Nada (he finds this rather amusing, actually), his viral form (the aforementioned digital distortion), and his truest form (a bunch of coding). His human form is easily the hardest to maintain. If he gets smacked around enough he'll revert to his virus form.
It should be noted no computer programmer has ever even come close to erasing his programming. Goodness knows his "creator" tried. His ability to move through any computer connection, including latent ones, means he can hop to another system without breaking a proverbial sweat. No security system can stop him from infiltrating, although it can stop him from damaging its system.
Personality
Simply put, Zero is completely bonkers. He suffers severe moodswings. One minute he can be holding a civil conversation, the next talking about the flying pig behind you. On the surface he seems suave and can actually pull off the "ladies man" quite well, but if you allow him to talk for more than a few minutes his insanity will come through in all its ugly glory.
The only consequence Zero cares about is his own. As long as he remains and can destroy reality pieces at a time, he could care less. You could hack a baby to death in front of him and all he'd notice is that you got his suit bloody. He'll take help or leave it. After all, he's gonna delete you in the end anyways. Those he finds useful he'll delete later.
He does get a perverse pleasure out of manipulating people. He finds it funny when people do things that cause them great emotional pain. After all, one who has commited suicide is that much easier to delete. He likes inciting panic and gets a kick out of deleting important data and the panic it causes. He has no problems lying, cheating, or any other "evil" act if it helps him accomplish his goal. A scientist wants his program to clone something? He'll gladly enter the computer and effect the coding in a way to make it happen. Or not. He seems fickle and changes his mind before the dropped hat hits the floor.
He does what he wants when he wants. He does have a short fuse, however, and gets really annoyed when people keep getting in his way. Doesn't mean he'll be stupid and stand to fight. He's not the type of villian who would tie you up and walk out of the room unless he had to. He'd definently try to delete you. He does, however, have a disdain for the mess caused by standard modes of killing. Not when other people do it, but for doing it himself. He finds guns, knives, and the like extremely dirty and terribly inefficient. What's the point of destroying something if you have to pick up the pieces?
Horribly, terribly off balance. A good way to make your brain implode would be to try and understand the intracicies of his motives. At the end of the day he has one goal, to destroy all realities. He doesn't particularly care how he goes about it.
History
About 10 Billion years ago, give or take many millenia, a programmer was trying to create a new program. When he finalized the program, he didn't realize he had made an error in the coding, as it didn't effect the performance of the program. When he ran it for the first time, the "glitch" began destroying his data. He shut down the computer, but the glitch had already used his connection to jump to another computer.
That was the end of the problem until one day one of the members of the Indigo Pokemon League was updating trainer records with the new program and found masses of data missing. They brought in a programmer who managed to find the glitch right before the computer shut down as its processes had been deleted by the glitch.
The next six months people were losing data left and right. No programmer could track down the exact problem. They finally contacted the original creator who said he had missed a set of numbers in his programming. He was appalled to learn the glitch had spread. What no one realized is that the data the glitch deleted was allowing it to grow. To make matters worse, some unethical trainers were actually manipulating the glitch to create stronger than average Pokemon or receive infinite amounts of stored items.
At one point the glitch had destroyed enough data that some kind of light switch went off. It was sentient. It realized living forms could allow it to grow more, and began eating the data of stored Pokemon. Trainers began pulling all their Pokemon out to protect them. By this time the god-beings of the world often referred to as "legends" had become aware of the situation. They had dispatched the seventeen people they chose to represent the human race. These people were known as the "PokeChosen", and each one specialized and represented a Pokemon type.
The virus, who had begun to be referred to as "Missing No." finally absorbed enough information to exit the digital space. It began a terrorizing run through the world, deleting people, places, Pokemon, and anything else it felt like destroying. The battle culminated when the PokeChosen, their teams of Pokemon, and every. single. legend. rose up against Missing No. Arceus dealt the final blow, and it seemed the "virus" had been destroyed.
Arceus called a council meeting with the legends and the Chosen. Even long time rivals such as Darkrai and Cresellia put aside their differences. Arceus gave the floor to Dialga, who informed the Chosen that the future was fading, as if it was being deleted. He explained that Missing No. had merely been sealed, and would break free in a few years.
The Chosen panicked. They had lost many valued partners in the fight, and were certain they could not do it again. Arceus told them that working togehter, Dialga and Celebi had seen hope. If they were to put the energy of the universe into strenghening Missing No.'s seal, they could seal him for much longer. Dialga predicted that in the far future, someone with the power to truly destroy the virus would arise. But the sacrifice would be great. The seventeen Chosen were to choose destroying the universe or waiting a few years for a fight they might not win. They chose the first option.
Celebi told them she would go to the future and plant the message of Pokemon into people's minds. With that she vanished. Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit summoned a red chain and let it shatter, and reality collapsed in upon itself. Arceus was the only one not completely destroyed, and he used his power to awake the legends of creation. Dialga and Palkia reformed time and space with the power of their being. When the time came, Arceus released the power of Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, and they set in motion the events that would reform Earth.
Fast forward billions of years, Celebi appeared to a man and told him of Pokemon. He created a game out of it, and it soon become a worldwide phenomenon. But Missing No. had begun to break his seal, and he manifested in the first Pokemon games to reach America, Red and Blue. He gained power from the way people abused him, and finally managed to bust out on the day Platinum was released. In the two months that followed he caused mass havoc and decided he needed a human form. After all, the Pokemon legends of his reality all had one.
He had gone into a computer to wreak some havoc when the glitch got caught by a glitch caused by an unusual proximity between the computer he was in and Dimension Island's programs. Not only was he brought to Dimension Island but was rudely ejected at the place of his arrival, and in human form no less...
However ruffled as he is by his new "accomodations", his goal is still the same. He wants to destroy all reality, with himself being the last thing. As far as he is concerned, one dimension is as good a place to start as any other.
Other
Zero's "home" world is a Pokemon fanfiction not based in any canon. It is based around the idea that Pokemon are real.
He would freak if he saw Prue. A teenage girl in his world looks like a younger version of her, and the fact that they have the same first name is just a little much for him to handle. He's well aware Celebi considers his world's Prue to likely be the PokeDestined (the one predicted to defeat him) and no amount of explaining would convince him it wasn't an older version of the same girl. (Actually, both Prues use the same basic self-insert design.)
He claims not to fear anything, but Arceus and the PokeDestined concern him. He has great disdain for Arceus and worries that the PokeDestined might actually be able to destroy him.
