Ask Zero

You may have seen me in Dance Dance Revolution X or later. If you have something to ask, click below and I'll answer it. Otherwise, I have other things to do. Look at the themed questions before asking something I've already answered. (Updates... erratically)

With those “magic earmuffs” he wears, Baby-lon is about as careful as your average child, say Julio’s age. Although his memory and perception of the world is more like that of a baby. The girls tell me it’s all right to let him be. I’m sure everyone among us feels compelled to spend some time with him when we cross paths, but he seems to have fun going on adventures.

Maho, his mother, is often busy with work. Perhaps that’s why she hasn’t appeared recently in DDR. I’m not sure who the father is that supposedly gave him the ear muffs.

Surprised? Dress codes in Tokyo were strict. It’s incredibly rare to find a Japanese student with bleached hair or makeup of any sort. Well, noticeable makeup, anyway. As much as I liked outlandish fashion in media, I didn’t need my teachers’ eyes on me, so I didn’t bother changing my look until I graduated.

[ddrzero]

At least it wasn’t cold the other day...

I most often see Oshare, Robo, Devil, Maid, Queen, and Geisha Zukin. Dark Zukin and Concent Kyo-fu have something against us. Must’ve happened before I joined.

*sigh* The wide-eyed Zukins have hyperactive personalities that match their facial expressions, though Geisha is a little more refined than the rest. I don’t get along with Queen Zukin... at all. Devil Zukin is so quiet that it’s as if she appears out of thin air... it’s creepy.

Maid Zukin, the one working in Yuni’s mansion, is much different than the rest. Well, her top concern is cleaning, so she isn’t much of a conversationalist. That’s fine by me, though. She’s not a bad listener, and listens enough to others to occasionally have good advice... or a little gossip. She’s not great at telling what is and isn’t a secret.

If synced correctly, I suppose the game helps you preserve your rhythm for when you’re able to find an arcade. I may not play the game, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone... I just don’t play mobile games often. I’m also not a fan of games locked behind tens of hundreds of microtransactions.

As far as I’ve heard, I don’t think you can download an official DDR app anymore. Unfortunate, in my opinion. Konami could potentially generate interest for DDR A by releasing a new mobile app containing the new songs. But I’m sure there are various knockoffs available, if you need mobile “DDR.”

It’s obvious I like roses, if you’ve seen my style. They’re easily found for accessories and in many colors. They’re rightfully associated with great beauty.

The peony has its own places in Asian culture that differ from its meaning in Western culture. They’re found in art, and are used as a symbol of royalty in China. Interestingly enough, the peony was used in Asian medicine long ago, from what I’ve heard.

I admire how the two have layers of gorgeous petals, and their shapes make for fashionable accessories, even if those are only false flowers. Among other species of flowers, these two lift the spirits of the patients at the hospital.

[ddrzero]

I’m not one of those masculine mer...men? that you might have seen. But I have the hair for it, regardless. I’m not sure how my eyeliner would hold together, though. And you know, once out of the water, merman and mermaid hair is nothing like it is in the movies. Guess I’d just stay underwater with the fish... which I wouldn’t mind at all.

[ddrzero]

Gus deserves some mention because when we do encounter each other, he isn’t as easy to toy with as Rage. He plays along too well when I try to tease him. Something about his attitude really bothers me... perhaps because I can’t figure him out, despite how open he is as a person.

Rage, while easy to confuse and playfully infuriate, is a lot more persistent than Gus. He’s also louder and less polite. I wouldn’t say he’s stupid, but he doesn’t have a lot of intellectual discussions. And he... does land himself in stupid situations too often.

[ddrzero]

I’m naturally calm and reserved. I prefer order over chaos, but I don’t let everyone tell me what to do just because they have “power.” I don’t do much to affect those around me, for better or for worse. Well, I would prefer things to be better than worse... so “evil” doesn’t really fit me. But I haven’t earned a “good” title, either.

You’ll probably find most of the DDR characters are either neutral or good. I wouldn’t rule out Alice and Emi as more of the "good” types. Perhaps Rinon as somewhat of a “lawful” type given her dedication toward her master? Yuni is more like a chaotic character, probably good or neutral. Well, I wasn’t familiar with this alignment system until now, so it’s probably best I stop trying to fit the others to it.

[ddrzero]

Rhythm, Blues, Drum, Bass... if you’re referring to the group of dancers oddly paired together so that their names create music references. I wonder if they’re just stage names...

Well, overall, I don’t hear much from them. Blues supposedly has a sister and helps with his parents’ shop. I’ve heard Drum and Bass had their own business going for a while.

Rhythm, who I believe is the youngest, occasionally meets with the other girls. She’s too energetic for me, but it does make her stand out from the others I mentioned.

[ddrzero]

I can’t help but think the characters on the cover look familiar...

It’s still not enough to convince me to buy a game, let alone its console. It sounded as if Julio was so engrossed in it that he wanted someone else to enjoy it as much as he did. I’ve no experience with shooting games; the overall playstyle of the genre isn’t for me, nor are the cartoon characters.

[ddrzero]

I don’t mind hearing whatever they have to say through the internet, but I’d prefer not to meet most of them in person. I’m honestly surprised anyone conversed with me in X. Guess looking unapproachable must encourage people to do the opposite.

Do whatever you want... over there.

The weather gets cooler, the nights are longer, and people get creative with the scent and flavors of spices. There’s undeniably something soothing about the pumpkin spice blend in particular. I’ll enjoy an occasional spiced dessert in moderation, but I’m not an addict.

[ddrzero]

... where did that text come from...?

Hmmph, I have more intuitive ways to express my thoughts than to reuse images that everyone’s using...

[ddrzero]

Well, they’re clever, I’ll give them that. There are many battles of pop stars I don’t care for, but I... don’t mind watching a series that does its research on historical figures or fictional characters I’m familiar with. Its humor isn’t terribly far off from something I’d enjoy.

The acting is still ridiculous... yet in a fairly well executed way. I’m sure some of the other dancers enjoy it more.

[ddrzero]

Naturally, I don’t want anything to go wrong on anyone, even if I dislike them. I’ve mentioned how annoying Yuni can be, but I’d be worried to operate on someone of her delicate nature. She appears healthy and I’m relieved she’s physically active with DDR. I’m just concerned that her diet will catch up to her one day. Well, if she has someone watching over her, it’s probably all in my head.

[ddrzero]

It was an easy way to interact with fans without... actually interacting with them. I don’t draw, though. Why the artist agreed to keep drawing these pictures is another story.

I agreed to answer questions for my own benefit initially, but it may help the other characters get a little more recognition. I don’t mind; it’s not like that takes any more of my time. But you should know a little more about me, especially if you need help deciding on a DDR character.
