Those who made the sky fall... I will wipe them all out!

—Zero Murasame

Zero Murasame, aka Proto Zero, is a character from the Gihren's Greed video game series.

Personality & Character[]

As a Cyber Newtype, Zero was conditioned with a strong hatred against the Principality of Zeon by the Murasame Newtype Laboratory, who took advantage of his past trauma due to Operation British. He was irritated with himself for not being able to find a purpose beyond battle, and hated the fact that his personality was given to him by the lab. In battle, Zero had a very aggressive and extremely confident personality, insisting to Newtype opponents that he was the true Newtype and even belittling Amuro Ray. He was also somewhat mentally unstable, and would laugh maniacally or toy with his opponents.[1]

Outside of battle, however, Zero appeared to be more stable, able to break through his brainwashing and even defect to Zeon to seek help when needeed. He had a strong complex towards his Cyber Newtype status (implying that his insistence of being the "true Newtype" was a coping mechanism), wanting to cure himself of it and prevent others from suffering the same fate. He was even willing to let go of his pride and beg Gihren Zabi to stop the enhanced Newtype program when.[1]

He felt a strong sense of guilt and responsibility towards Leila Raymond, since he was indirectly responsible for her creation.[1]

Skills & Abilities[]

Zero was an exceptionally skilled pilot, capable of single handedly destroying Murasame Lab and breaking through the defenses of Side 3 and Jaburo. He was also able to effectively pilot the RX-178-X0 Prototype Gundam Mk-II, a mobile suit that had high performance but poor balance and was extremely difficult to control.

History[]

The first Cyber Newtype created by the Murasame Newtype Laboratory. Due to being a prototype, he was not given an official number and named "Zero". Zero would eventually turn on his creators, single-handedly destroying the entire Murasame Lab in the Prototype Gundam Mk-II. He would also steal the blueprints for the MRX-009 Psycho Gundam from the lab.[1]

He was apparently traumatized by Operation British in the past, as he swore to destroy "those who made the sky fall".[1]

Zeon scenario[]

In the Zeon scenario, Zero would break through the defenses of Side 3 to negotiate with Gihren Zabi. In exchange for developing a cure for Cyber Newtypes, he would provide the Principality of Zeon with the Psycho Gundam blueprints.

If Gihren accepts, Zero would give him the Psycho Gundam blueprints. Gihren would later be given the option to enhance low level Newtypes using the Murasame Lab data that Zero brought. Should Gihren agree, the project would then produce the enhanced Newtype pilot NT-001. However, Zero would find out about this and become furious, demanding that Gihren stop the research at once.

If Gihren agrees, Zero would join Zeon as a pilot. If Gihren refuses, Zero would defect from Zeon along with NT-001, to a random faction other than the Titans. The enhanced Newtype project would then produce three more subjects: NT-002, NT-003, and NT-004.[1]

When fighting alongside Leila, the two has a series of special dialogue. At first, Zero sensed that Leila was the Cyber Newtype created because of him. Leila asked him what a Cyber Newtype was. Zero realized she knew nothing and told her it was best not to know.

In their second interaction, Leila revealed that she learned what a Cyber Newtype was. Zero apologized to her, but she stated that he should not feel guilty, since she was nothing but a guinea pig at the Flanagan Institute, and it was thanks to him that she could leave. Zero thanked her.

In their third and final interaction, Leila told Zero that becoming a Cyber Newtype was not all bad, because she got to meet him. Zero promised that he would never make her sad again and he would find a cure for her.

Federation scenario[]

In the Federation scenario, Zero would break through the defenses of Jaburo and offer the Psycho Gundam blueprints to General Revil in exchange for a cure for Cyber Newtypes.

If General Revil agrees, Zero would give him the Psycho Gundam blueprints. Later, Gihren would inform Zero that the Murasame Lab data he brought did not include information on a cure for Cyber Newtypes. Zero would dejectedly accept that there was no cure for his condition, but resolve to fight to destroy those who made him this way, joining the Earth Federation Forces as a pilot.

If the player fulfilled certain conditions, Zero would then offer General Revil the blueprints for the Prototype Gundam Mk-II.
