Too often we want Zero to be a total bastard, but let's be honest, he was a soldier in an army.

You've made a character that normally is painted all black, or misunderstood, etc, and showed him as human, with human characterists. He is neither good or bad in this fic. He is just a soldier.

It is very humanizing in some way.

I want to like him. He wants me to like him...

There's just something about Zero.....

Dang it girl! What is it with you trying to get me to like Zero? First you tell me he's from Missouri and now this? Pfft.

*hugs*

The second he informs me that he went to Mizzou...

the engagement's OFF. We are DONE.

For real.

Go Wildcats! Go KU! Die Huskers!

And, as soon as he joined the Longcoats, one of his first thoughts was that he would be free of the concoction. However, it seemed that the nutritional value of the combined ingredients of Muglug were exactly what a soldier needed for nourishment in the face of battle.

It could be worse, he guessed, glancing up to the iron suit sitting in the back of one of the trucks.

Even a scheming bastard has at least one redeeming quality. I'm amused that's it's bitching about army food. Or in this case Longcoat food.

I want to like him.. really I do. Or at least give him some justification for being an asshole. *shrug*

Oh I like Zero, don't get me wrong. I wish more of his back story had come up in Dragons and Ninjas. Now Leoben creeps me out, but Zero is just a thug with grudge and has the hots for his crazy boss.
