#[I DREAM I SLEEP I THINK I CRY I LAUGH I DRINK TYPE0

[sentofight]

ooc. going back to that meta post about t/ype 0 and the cycles. emotions and certain images/ flashes of memories do tent to be carried on with people on every god damn cycle. these do over every time will leave a subtle change in one's personality and actions. this is probably not what arecia want because this means people might start to notice 'oh wow, i know something i shouldn't have known so how?' etc. aside from that, i believe class zero got that carry over bug especially we notice that a lot in cater. the other zeroes are probably inferred what they carry over or we can speculate. so i will speculate, basically what i think might be carried over. machina is an avid chocobo lover and this is for sure in every cycle. you wont see this changing at all. however, because of his continuous interaction with ace, and in the previous (LN+agito) cycles he had somewhat better relationship with izana, machina started to collect the feathers of the chocobo as fun at first then in the type 0 cycle he believed that it might bring him good luck. there was something about the feathers back in agito and it could be carried over into the 0 cycle thus why he would always gather a feather from any fallen chocobo if he can and store it in the box under his bed. if humans can have name tag, chocobos can have something, too, right? his only regret he didn't have any feather from chichiri, when he was told his brother passed away with his chocobo. yes, he does not recall he had named the yellow bird but he felt it in his heart that this loss is unlike any other loss.

eight, on the other hand, carried the 'respect flowers' over to his 0 cycle. in agito he accidently destroyed/stepped on deuce's flowers and he felt guilty about it. yes he helped her salvage and take care of the flowers but something deep inside touched him. he, who only fights when necessary and uses his own body as weapon to remain as pacifist as he can (as war can allow him) be, he crushed down helpless flowers as he trained. wouldn't be something akin to what their enemies are doing? they invade and destroy what comes in their way? it bothered him that in that moment, he did something that others might not think twice about it but for him it is not just 'oops i stepped on some flowers'. what got to him was deuce's reaction--her sadness. every action has a consequence, the aftermath. he does not want to be the action that leads to the suffering of others--he wants to be the force, the power to stop such aftermath. hence he would often seen in the garden training. he would enjoy watching the flowers that deuce and the other students planted around the garden (and on campus.) whenever they are on a mission, you better believe he thinks 3 steps ahead where he should land whenever he attacks his enemies because you wouldn't know where a poor flower could be there. listen, it is not like it hunts his mind, it actually keeps him 'sane' sort of during the battle. too much 'battle mode' would make him lose what makes him 'human'. eight might do and say what would make Arecia happy but he does not think they were turned into puppets or even weapons. he may call himself a weapon but that because he is really is--fighting with his fists and kicks. unlike the other zeroes, no matter how many times he tried using weapons in different cycle, the fact that it means he will inflict pain on others make him uncomfortable. if he has too, then he ought to remember it--with his fists.

As for King, he is probably the most fucked up mentally wise of the zeroes. He had always been on class 9--the class specialized in special OPs. Meaning, all the dirty work that needed to be done is done directly by class 9. We don't know a lot about his missions but for sure he killed a lot. Even before the war broke, he would handle any spies, infiltrators, and deserters etc. tailing people and keeping tabs on them, as well. what cater saw in c.oncordia that one scene is one of class 9 cadets on a mission. this is exactly what king used to--sneak around, gather info then deal with the target. it is most likely why he uses normal guns, they are efficient to take down someone and won't be hindered by magic abilities (sort of.) King carried over his sense for weather, and of course, his inability to 'imagine' seen in the last scene in the game. he said 'I can't imagine that future.' because he only sees facts & orders. King in the game his aim is affected by the game's weather but that what makes him the strangest and weirdest of them all. no one like him get affected by weather like literally look at the stats he is always the last or somewhere above last. the only high stat for him is his ice magic and he is placed 7th. In his job as a OPs operator didn't entail he had to be the best at attacks, or defense etc but a strong and unshakable mentality. this is seen in a lot of interactions in the game, whether with aria, nine's antics, trey's long rants, with machina's burst, telling off queen for her actions, analyzing the situation at times etc. He is not the type to jump the gun at anything that is why he always keeps quiet and observes in the back. king's personality is shaped and well, bounded to be almost like, almost a robot--apathetic and cold. so it is obvious he feels at times not fitting in the class if you play the game--like he is always just an extra guy to fill the space. in truth when you look at it, king is needed so the others won't stray. perhaps at some cycles he was the eyes for arecia maybe? she does not need his help that is for sure but an 'equalizer'? of some sort? what i'm trying to say he balance out the group. there are the calm zeroes and there are the rowdy bunch and in the middle the in between and he does not fit in any of these three because he can be invisible at times. he is there to make sure these groups are working together by being the invisible link (controlling nine's burst, guiding queen, helping seven care for these children, indulging in some ROCK'NROLL BABAYYYY jk.) but yeah. i honestly didn't like king that much but he grew on me on my second game play especially when you unlock some side options to see how he deals with people. yes. king.

now that finished my zeroes it is time for my own oc, mister einar vilho. since im guilty with not showing my ocs the love i should give it is time to think more about him. since we talk about the other cycles, einar has changed too, during these 6million cycles. there were cycles when he was still with his family. there were cycles when he didn't lose his arm. and of course, dead in other cycles. i want to think he was killed on the bridge battle like i intended for him to be but in the agito cycle; hence why he is so cold and more desperate to in type0 to find an ending to this war. perhaps what he carried over from all these cycles are his hatred for war. the fact he has to see children' malnourished bodies dead and rotting on the outskirts of the city gate because what? because his country cannot provide for all of its citizens let alone any hostages they take from rubrum. to see helpless kids who cant fend for themselves dying because a crazed man said we go for war is unimaginable. but perhaps what is carried that the sense he has to fix this by climbing the ladder and what a role model to take than mister qator ??? the guy has similar plan in his mind, or so he thinks. einar abhors war but only a foolish would flab his gums without doing anything. he can protest all he wants, he will be dead before he can say 'fuck the crystal wishes' Cid is unforgiving. if he caught a wind of it not only einar will be in danger, but everyone who knows him. the cull will begin with his dearest uncle then go forth to anyone who knew him. that is something he tried to avoid by being a good 'dog' in the milites army. it did him good because he managed after a while to become a captain of his own platoon and luckily he and his men share the same feeling--war is meaningless. but again, there is nothing they can do except wait and hold for the right moment to act. it is why he is actually good with children but he needs to believe in it lol. man thinks he is a popsicle destined to ice on his own for the rest of his days. buuut dab he got an amazing wife to say no to sadness ;u; merci sora for warming that milities popsicle's heart.
