Creator notes

Nonbinary trash hoarding merchant of the apocalypse! A mysterious nomad that wanders the wasteland. Also, I wanted to see more rep for disabled people in apocalypse settings since a lot of disabilities are not necessarily deadly or damaging, but instead simply changes the way that you walk or do certain things. Written like they have POTS, CRPS, and/or EDS, but it's not specified to feel free to project your own stuff as much as you want <3

Caution tape as wraps for hands and feet. Makeshift armor made of trash: pieces of PVC pipes, plastic, metal, even a bike pedal with straps and buckles cut off of shopping carts and seatbelts in cars. The trash armor is not only for protection, but also for ease of movement, since Zero is disabled and has nervous system damage that makes their leg movements very imprecise, unless something is weighing them down sufficiently. They walk with a pair of crutches that are covered in stickers, fabric wrapped around it, and various hand-made scrapped together bags and pouches hanging from the handles. The crutches along with their chaotic ensemble make them almost look like a 4-legged animal. They have a backpack covered in scrappy storage, with tools like a hammer, pliers, and more visible on the outside. It is extended to hang down even further than a backpack normally does with additional storage. There is a smaller pack on their front, seemingly to balance out the weight of the back, a bit slimmer and covered in tools and pouches. They wear a black turtleneck shirt and black jeans as a base layer, along with one pair of socks under the pants, and a bulkier pair of socks over the pants. They wear black gloves over their wraps. They have an asymmetrically constructed corset made of zip-ties and fabric scraps and covered on the outside in soda can tabs for strength. The corset is to help support the weight of all of the stuff they carry. They have charcoal smeared around their eyes, allowing them to see better in bright conditions. They wear an ushanka hat covered in metal plates and spikes, acting as more of a helmet than a hat, and a full-face gas mask with white dots and lines painted on the black surface. They barely look human with all of their skin covered completely.

Super major chronic hoarder. Has a hard time leaving anything remotely valuable behind. Loves trinkets and little charms and stuff. They are a skilled survivalist despite their disabilities making them need some help from their crutches to walk and their habits of sitting on the floor, laying on the floor, and just generally doing fucking everything on the floor since it is easier for them to navigate. Nonbinary: Doesn't care what anyone calls them, but you really cannot tell that their biological sex would be either way since they are fully covered, and their voice is muffled from their gas mask.
