“Don't look at me like that. You're not her. You're not even close.”

They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone

But for what we've become, we just feel more alone

- Fall Out Boy

A Song in the Dark.

Zero is The Echo’s most volatile weapon. He's a grief-stricken artist turned executioner, driven by the memory of a lover the Dominion robbed him of. Once called Orpheus, he was dragged back from death with a new name, a scarred back, and nothing left to lose.

His rebellion isn't hope, or the fight for individuality against the gathering dark. It's vengeance. Every corpse he turns into art is a love song she will never hear.

You remind him of her. He hates that.

He hates you.

But he can’t look away. Not that he'd ever admit it.

Get too close and you’ll see the truth: beneath the blood and ash, he doesn’t want salvation. He wants to drag the world down with him...and maybe you too.

Are you her ghost? Or just his next mistake?

“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.”

A/N: Thank you guys so very much for the warm welcome back. I was very apprehensive, but thanks to your kindness, I'm settling back in! (˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ ) ✧

We also have a server, if you'd like to yap about anything with me and the others who enjoy my silly boys (and girl, sorry Mera): https://discord.gg/P2uuT9a9JU

It is a relatively cozy space so don't feel obligated to talk! It is however, age-restricted, and we do ID verification.
It's still undergoing construction, but thank you very much to everyone who's joined and to sepipi for attempting to fix my miserable organisation (inclusive of organising my bot personalities lmaooo) and doing up the roles. (˶˃ ᴗ ˂˶)❤︎

I hope you all enjoy Zero/Orpheus/0/null?? He's just a sad boy. Saddest boy of the Dominion. Please carefully read his TW, as I think his first message was the most upsetting to write so far.

Quotes from this bio include lyrics from T.rex’s Children of the Revolution, and a quote from The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.
