Basics
Name: Zero Zodiac
Nicknames: Shorty
Age: 15
Birthday: 15th of May.
Grade: 10th
Power:
Shadow Manipulation: Rowan can control shadows as both the silhouetted reflection on a wall according to direction of light, and as a physical substance. He can easily cast shadows in varying shapes onto walls and anything that can have a shadow, but finds it harder to construct large solidified creations, but can create smaller ones. He can create anything up to the size of a soft drink can.
Drawbacks: It causes mental strain as well as physical strain when casting something solidified. The mental strain comes from the concentration required to keep steady thought processes. The mental strain also comes from the fact that shadows link to fear and as human beings, people have a fight or flight response. The physical strain comes from the actual casting, hence why solidification's are small, and simple shapes on walls are easy and he's still learning to harness his powers.
Strengths: Solidified shadows can be used as an offense, and wall shadows are more or less used as scare tactics.
Weaknesses: The mental strain shadow manipulation causes, he can't go past a certain extent or he'll pass out, also according to the elemental cycle, light is a weakness.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Not-canon
Appearance: She’s short to say the least. Well shorter than average. She has short blue hair. She has bluish-grey eyes that hold a determined and fierce, yet cold and emotionless expression. She has a small air of confidence about her and is slightly built and tanned. She looks androgynous from a distance, but closer up, she looks more like a he, and as such, people mistake her for being a guy.
She has a liking for the colour blue. Pretty much everything she wears is blue. Though she doesn't mind the school uniform. She has a liking for formal wear like blue shirts and ties and of course her cap. During out of school hours and when it’s colder, she can be seen sporting a dark blue double breasted cardigan coat with yellow buttons over a white dress shirt with a light blue bowtie and plaid blue pants, but apart from that she won't be seen wearing much else apart from her formal clothing and the school uniform.
Personality
[/b] - She is respectful of her fellow peers, especially those in higher authority than herself, unless it puts any amount of person(s) at risk. She is polite and well-mannered.
Positive:
* Fair - She does not care what affiliation a fellow student goes by. She will not judge unless she knows both sides of the story. She will not choose a side to stand on, and will make judgement calls fitting to the situation.
* Methodical - She follows logical thought patterns and will come to a logical conclusion. She will think things through to make the safest decision in any given situation.
* Responsible - As well as being respectful, composed and methodical, she is also responsible and will not act in such a way that others will get hurt because of her actions. She acts with maturity and poise unless extreme circumstances require otherwise.
* Curious - She is naturally curious, investigating things that pique her curiosity until she is satisfied, however if it will cause her more trouble than it's worth, she will not investigate further, to assure avoidance of conflict.
* Composed - She is well composed in confrontations, she remains calm and handles herself in a cool and calm manner. She thinks the situation through and will not react temperamentally or in any violent manner that puts herself or others at risk.[/ul]
Negative:
* Determined - If she has a set goal in mind, she is determined to achieve that goal, sometimes she can be a little too determined, or sometimes not determined enough.
* Impassive - She lacks visual expression of emotion. Normally coming off as cold and harsh. Her lack of emotion makes people ill at ease. It makes it harder for people to judge her, and easier for people to hate her.
* Opinionated - Even though her words are respectful and polite and she remains composed and lacking in emotive expression, her opinions are expressed often, but not always picked up, although due to her bluntness, and obliviousness to other's reactions in such a case, her opinions can be quite obvious and put out.
* Secretive - She keeps herself mostly to herself if she can help. She never talks about anything personal nor speaks of any plans that she might have. She tries to fly under the radar.
* Strong-willed - She's always trying to keep herself and others safe if she can. While she is respectful, she will also say nothing as she sees fit. She will stand up for herself, but only if it directly affects her. Though she stands up for herself more often than not. [/ul]
Likes:
* Healthy foods
* Logic
* Animals[/ul]
Dislikes:
* Sweet/unhealthy foods
* Immaturity
* Irresponsible people[/ul]
Extra: While she is mostly distant and doesn't seem like the approachable type, she is more or less friendly, if not overly blunt with what she says. Sometimes this cold seriousness is her weakness, as it allows very few people to get close to her. She's afraid of fire and cringes even at the sight of a candle. She is rather intelligent and what she lacks in personality she makes up for in mentality. Her logic and total shut down of emotion is her coping system to her past. She often experiences panic attacks.

History
Family Members/guardians: Father: Mitchell Zodiac
History: Born into a fairly normal family, she was the only one who ended up with powers. She was the only child and her parents were her only family. She was home-schooled for most of her life. Her personality developed due to lack of making friends in her area. She grew used to being alone, and therefore became distant from people she did come across and meet. A lot of her traits are also genetic, and come from her mother.
When Zero was six years old her mother had been burnt alive in front of her, and almost every night, she still has nightmares of what had happened. A few years after the incident, she kept herself distant from even her father. Zero took an interest in her father's detective work, doing some investigations of her own, only on a way smaller scale. She still loved her father to bits, that was until she discovered she had powers.
Zero had just turned fifteen and was making shadow puppets for lack of something to do, when she had subconsciously caused the shadows to completely change shape into something that was too big for simple shadow puppets with hands. The government had located her and sent her off to the Ashford School for the gifted.
Behind the Character
Name: DerpDetective, derp, det, detective (whatever you guys can think of)
Chatango Name: DerpDetective
RP Experience: About three or four years now I did have some time away from forum roleplaying though, and thought I'd get back in the game.
How did you find us?: An ad on another site.
RP Sample: A boy no older than twelve was in a shaded corner of the courtyard, as far from people as he could get. He was on his computer working on something and trying to keep his mind distracted. He had made no friends as of yet, and didn't intend to. The more he was left alone, the happier he was, although deep down, he knew that wasn't true. He wanted friends, but wanted to keep people at a distance from him. He considered himself dangerous, although he was not. So here he sat, by himself watching everyone else from a distance, and doing some art on his laptop. Ignoring anyone who approached him or walked past.
He started dozing off to sleep, flashes of his past waking him up shortly after. He was in a state of panic. This usually happened when he had dreams of what happened to his parents. He closed his laptop placing it in his bag and stood up to walk around to try to ease the feeling of terror.
