The total annihilation of Sin.At times he may seem cold, heartless even in his ruthless pursuit of this goal, using even the summoners as mere proxies to further his need for revenge. He is however a warrior through and through,and whilst at times his morals may vary from those around him he does adhere to a strict code of honor( though were it applies tends to vary depending on his view of the individual).The former guardian does not usually have 'friends' but allies, to these individuals his loyalty is unwavering. Romantically Zero is unreliable as any who peruse a relationship with him quickly find that they are several blocks behind his religion and his final goal.At times this has led him to question his views on such matters, but ultimately these things are always overshadowed by proceeding events.

HISTORY:

Zero's story is reflective to most children in Spira who have been touched by Sin. Born in Bevelle but raised in Besaid Zero was part of a two child family of a warrior monk and a former priestess. In his youth both were killed during an attack from the curse oF Spira leaving Zero to be adopted by the Yevonite Temple in Bevelle. From here the young man trained to be a warrior monk but throughout his training always lacked the focus and serenity required for the task, in the end during one of his spar fights he fatally injured another student resulting in his expulsion from the academy.

At that point the young man had two options, he would either attempt to become a summoner and saite his need for revenge or he would travel the world in an attempt to gain some clarity. Choosing the latter the former student would become a mercenary fighting in several skirmishes around the world and developing his own fighting style. In his early twenties he would return to Bevelle,the lust for revenge still strong in his heart and mind. Though age and prayer had led him to the conclusion that his soul was to dark, his reasoning to selfish to depart down the summoners road. Instead he sought out a summoner to use as a proxy, and found Adiona.

In their time together Zero would pay for almost the entire trip using his time as a mercenary to gain funds to make sure she was comfortable and safe. Such adventures brought him companions and allies, and on occassion would be lovers. His fame grew as he came to be known as the Dark Guardian, a would be defender of Gaia as well as his own charge. When the pilgrimige reached Guadosalam Zero along with the other Guardian of Adiona Buddy decided to relax, and the warrior partook in one of his few weaknesses...alcohol.

Not quite sure of what happened next Zero woke up in chains behind bars, being told that he was arrested for the murder of a man within the city. Zero did not believe this to be true, yet time passed and no one came to see him or attempt to retrieve him from the cell. There was for a time acceptance, but when that faded all that remained was resentment and a loathing for the authorities that kept him chained even as Sin still roamed free. After years of imprisonment the former guardian has decided that summoners have had enough time,to do their task...soon he plans to break out.

Roleplay Sample:

He watched as they all took their places. Out at sea, there were no witnesses. He had gotten aboard the boat as a cloaked figure, before the summoner had even got on. He knew that this one would take the ship to kilka though. His hood was up, hiding his face. However, his gauntlet claw, razor sharp gripping weapon. And his katana. Spelled out, to those who knew him. Just who he was. However, as far as he knew. Nobody on this ship had ever met him. Personal to personal contact at least. It seemed. That all these people knew each other. Connected by the summoner. Guardians in all. He spat on the ground. Not true guardians. Their own lives each came before that of the summoner.

On top of that none of this group. Not even the summoner. Was spiran.

In his eyes it was a disgrace. And thats why he was here. At least. Part of the reason. A Lucavi summoner. A demon. It was against the teachings of Yevon, and he had no doubt that this boy was sneaking into the temple and tricking the fayth with his profane powers. No doubt that he had used the same trick to recruit so many guardians. Either that...or there were too many heritics in Spira for him to abide. He was here to deliver a message. A message of pain. For that is how Yevon worked. There was always a chance given. A warning. And his blade would be the warning today.

They were far enough out at sea that there was no one that would come to help them.

Not that many would dare try to pass Zero's blade aside.

He stepped forward from the shadows. Slowly making his way towards the Lucavi. " Demon of the profane....". He called out to the creature. No doubt this would attract the attention of its guardians. " I am here to put a stop to your heritical journey...". He would speak no more, except to tell this Lucavi his name. And title. So that he knew, just what he was to face. " I am Sir Zero Lorgana, Guardian of Lady Adiona...future High Summoner of Spira...". His eyes glinted under the shadow of his cloak. " And your Journey ends here....( Hehehe word play <_<)". He reached inside himself, and although to him it seemed like hours passed, in reality, only seconds moved with the wind as he unlocked the power of his potiental.

Energy like white fire danced along the outline of his body. A small shockwave shot off, the timbers below his feet groaning with the pressure of his power. Each person aboard would feel a similar effect.

Regarding your CA's I'm breaking down the points level by level, not CA tree by CA tree.

Level 1
Defiance
You need the premade Armour Break skill [which costs 75MP just for comparision] in order to use its effect in a custom CA at level 1, also the MP cost is extremely low for what you are intending. I would look at something more like 50MP at least [with no damage bonus and only a chance to inflict].

If you remove the Armour Break from the CA and change it to between 10 upto 50 base damage [either magic based or attack based] for about 10 to 25 MP.

Torrent of Despair
For 15MP I'd be looking at damage between 10 and 40 base damage. If you want a chance to inflict Silence I would up the MP cost to 40 - 60 depending on how much damage you want to deal.

Terrestrial Fury
If there is no other effect for 15MP look at between 20 and 50 base damage.

Forsaken Dusk
This is an extremely overpowered ability, it is not going to happen like this, you would need to scale this ability down by a lot. As this is, every time someone attacks any melee weapon you will automatically attack at no cost to you even though its a weakened attack.

Level 2
Ultimatium
For the cost you would be looking at between 30 to about 60 base damage, a higher MP cost would make a higher base damage acceptable. Again you would require the premade break skill in order to use its effect and again the MP cost is low for what you want.

Crown of Thorns
I'm assuming that this isn't an elemental attack, so if you are just needing a base damage idea again look at between 30 to 60 base damage, but If I'm misunderstanding this one just let me know.

Breath of Eternity
Right you'd need an MP cost for this ability and you would be looking at a higher MP Cost. So if you wanted it to be a whole party for a base of 30 damage look at about 100MP although I can be flexible on the exact MP cost. The only reason the cost is so high is simply that the exact number of people you would be affecting can vary so if you commit to a set number of targets I would accept a lower MP cost.

Withered Dawn
You have the same issue here as the level 1, this is an extremely overpowered skill, not going to happen as it currently is.

Level 3
Ultimatium
This is basically a just a normal attack variation, thats fine, it's weak for a level 3. As a suggestion, if this is to only be used after the previous Ultimatium give it a base damage of 200 but only succeeds if the first Ultimatium attack hits. If you do this I wouldn't ask for an MP cost on this just that you give this level 3 a subtitle so that in battle we know that its being used.

Blood Flare
I have a hard time accepting this one, I feel the HP cost is too low for the potential damage you could inflict as well as for the number of targets you could potentially affect, yet the other options that pop to my mind seem either too weak for a level 3 or well... unfair to you the user. So while I won't accept this CA, the basic idea behind it is something I could accept if you can come up with something you yourself feel wouldn't be too unfair. However I would ask that you make something like this into its own CA tree.

Mortifer Umbra
If its no other affect than to deal damage I'd say 200 base damage for 100 MP, ideally dark base damage but I won't enforce that.

Bleak Future
Again same issue as the others, its just too overpowered, it isn't going to happen as it is.

[Demon Lord]

You need to choose whether a CA is an Atk based skill or a Mag based skill. If there are no other issues I'll just say looks fine.

Level 1
Defiance
Look fine.

Torrent of Despair
It will only be a chance to inflict silence but looks fine.

Terrestrial Fury
Looks fine

Level 2
Ultimatium
As long as you understand it doesn't actually damage Spr this is fine, also feels like a Magic based skill to me but the choice is yours.

Crown of Thorns
Looks fine

Breath of Eternity
Looks fine

Level 3
Ultimatium
Looks fine.

Final Breath
I'll accept this with its current damage and the ability to delay when it strikes only if these limitations are added.
1) The MP cost is paid out at the beginning of your turn.
2) It costs you an action to have it damage the target if you delay it.
3) If you do not have enough MP to delay it it fails rather than hits
4) It is magic based damage it deals.

Mortifer Umbra
Looks fine.
