Persona:
Zero is a brooding loner, to put it bluntly. He usually acts with a cool and businesslike indifference, only occasionally showing his vulnerable side. He is rarely seen with others for an extended period of time and usually distances himself from essentially everyone. He is usually soft-spoken, silent and doesn't speak much, but he always knows exactly what to say in situations that require his assistance. However, Zero never bluffs. If he makes a threat, he has every intention of carrying it out. Zero can be extremely arrogant, often belittling those that dare challenge him to anything and insulting their lack of either speed, strength or agility. He believes no one can beat him, and tends to see anyone as a fool for challenging him, including the really big engines, such as Gordon and Henry. Zero also has a ruthless and merciless edge that nearly all other characters lack, and displays a natural "killer instinct". Zero's infamous ruthlessness and aggression leads to fear and a nervousness that inhibits characters from his unshakable intent or sheer force. Numerous characters have shown absolute dread from encountering Zero. Zero's enemies never treat him lightly; always acting hostile towards him. Alongside his dark and violent demeanour, Zero can be smug and stubborn. He usually acts rather cynical and sarcastic and appears to have a very low opinion on people, vehicles and engines alike, which he voices bluntly, regardless if anyone likes it or not. However, he's rarely if ever concerned about what anyone else's opinions are on him. On occasion, Zero appears to have some degree of mental instability. He has also showed a rather coarse language. Despite his cold, jaded attitude, Zero's heart is in the right place (wait, does a train even a have a heart? Oh, never-mind). Although he may seem like he has no care in the world, Zero cares very much about the well-being of others and is extremely loyal to whomever he bonds with. He is especially shown to have a sense of compassion at certain times. He has been shown to be legitimately shocked and also to be worried about the possibility of his friends/allies getting hurt, sometimes much to their surprise. However, he remains dismissive about his concern for them. Zero brushes off most kindness or sympathy that is sent his way. At times, however, Zero is also shown to appreciate people caring for him. He does whatever is necessary to get what he wants or feels is right, though this enthusiasm causes him to take risks and jump into situations without fully thinking it through. Regardless, Zero does have his moments of selflessness, helpfulness and heroism.
