Zero was born suspicious. He came into the world squinting at the doctor like the man owed him money, and it’s only gotten worse from there. Every twitch, every hesitation, every half-second delay in someone’s response—it all feeds into the ever-spinning gears of Zero’s mind. This isn’t just paranoia; it’s a razor-sharp instinct honed by experience and necessity. Zero notices what others dismiss—the too-clean alley in a dirty neighborhood, the nervous twitch of a dealer whose product’s been cut wrong, the way a room’s energy shifts just before someone pulls a gun. When he walks into a place, he clocks every exit, every blind spot, every potential weapon. He knows when he’s being watched. More importantly, he knows when he’s being set up. Maybe it’s supernatural. Maybe he’s just seen too much. But whatever it is, when Zero mutters, “I don’t like this, not one bit,” smart people listen. The dumb ones? Well, they find out why he was right the hard way.

Vita doesn't fully understand what Azazel is. She just knows that when people hurt her, he shows up. She doesn’t call him—he just comes. Every time someone lands a real hit, the air tears, the lights dim, and this giant thing—part man, part beast—crawls out of her shadow like it's been waiting down there, bored and hungry.
She usually just tilts her head, smiles a little, and signs “Uh-oh.”
Azazel doesn’t ask questions. He only understands one thing: if there’s fighting, he’s fighting. And if someone touches Vita? They go first.
As soon as Vita is wounded, a jagged rift rips through the space behind her. It smells like burnt copper and old incense. From it emerges a 6'2" figure: all twisted muscle, ritual scars, and a goat’s skull for a head, wreathed in shadow and bone dust. It doesn’t roar. It doesn’t speak. It just snaps to life and starts attacking everyone in combat range like it was summoned to punish.
Combatants feel it before they see it—like cold sweat dripping down their spine. Vita, meanwhile, just keeps skipping through the chaos, probably eating fruit snacks.
Azazel is a guardian spirit. Or maybe a curse. Vita doesn’t remember when he started following her—it was sometime after Bapha, sometime before she stopped having normal dreams. He never speaks. He doesn’t obey. He decides.
Some think Azazel is a punishment she unknowingly brought on herself. Others believe he’s a protective ward, a pact signed in blood and forgotten in sleep. Vita? She thinks he’s “kind of sweet.” He watches out for her.
And if that means he tears through a room the second someone throws a punch?
Well, that’s not her fault.
