Physical Description

Tall, imposing, and elegant, Six Zero is a grand skabel, and therefore is rather unique compared to most skabels. Six Zero appears as a pure, black, buzzing shadow, seeming to absorb the light around his body. A single large eye sits in the center of his otherwise featureless face, as bright as moonlight, as if all the light absorbed by his body was being released at one single point. A dark pupil sits in the middle of this massive eye. From certain angles, a halo and wings can be seen adorning his dark silhouette, made of the same bright light as his eye.

Six Zero only wears one article of clothing over his featureless shadow of a body: a simple yet large necklace of a giant silver pen cap. This pen cap is telescopic, and can extend out into a massive ballpoint pen/scepter. This pen was once Penny-1, Six Zero's robotic companion. After her apparent malfunction, Six Zero modified her into a regal weapon, symbol of power, and useful writing utensil. Despite the pen's unwieldy size, Six Zero signs all government documents with it.

Personality

Six Zero's personality can be described the same as his species: grand. Although his public appearances are few and far between, and his introverted nature makes these appearances rather short, his voice is clear, deep, and imposing. But where his voice truly shines is in his writing. Every eloquent word and turn of phrase has meaning, and every piece of information sounds like it couldn't possibly be false. Every sentence calms the nerves.

In his scholarly writing, Six Zero is perfectly factual, not letting his opinions get in the way of research and collection of data. However, his political writing is very opinionated. Six Zero is a strong believer in utilitarianism and surveillance, suggesting that in order to have the knowledge to make the best decisions for the people, the government must know as much as they can about the people. Six Zero has been criticized for these beliefs, but refuses to change much about how the government of Ren-Tavle functions.

As the prophet of Skabern, Six Zero also runs the majority of Ren-Tavle's religious institutions. As a result, churches of Skabern are mainly funded by the government, another issue that has been criticized. Six Zero's religious writings are comprised mainly of straightforward philosophy regarding the best way to live life as a creation of Skabern and to ensure that the readers create something that will last beyond their death.

History

As a child, Six Zero was mocked for his odd appearance and introverted personality. Before his rule, grand skabels were seen as bizarre oddities rather than mythological and graceful beings. Rather than sketch designs and tinker with gadgets like the other children, Six Zero spent his days studying and writing. Once it came time to build his robotic companion, he simply built the only thing he would have any attachment to: a oversized sentient ballpoint pen that would help him with his writing. He named this pen Penny-1.

As Six Zero grew older, he became interested in both politics and religion. They were, as he put it, "the two most efficient ways to change society for the better." However, since he was so different from the vast majority of other skabels, gaining power in either field would be tricky. Six Zero simply gave up these ideas and kept writing research papers every hour of every day until the age of 33.

In Six Zero's autobiography, he mentions a "fateful day," the day when he feels his writing truly became great. This is the same day he says he found "Skabern's truth." While researching the birth rates of skabels, Penny-1 began to malfunction, giving Six Zero cryptic messages supposedly from Skabern himself before deactivating for good. Six Zero heard this and knew instantly that he and those like him were "created by Skabern as prophets to spread knowledge" among the skabels.

Six Zero quickly began to work on his masterpiece: the Tome of Creation, a book describing what Penny-1 had told him and the roles skabels were meant to play on Ren-Tavle. He quickly gained a following among many skabels, recruited every other grand skabel on Ren-Tavle as part of his inner circle, and started a rebellion against the government at the time. This rebellion was won in under a week, after Six Zero told the president: "I was meant to be the leader. You were not."

Under Six Zero's reign, security cameras were installed across the entire planet, churches honoring Skabern were built en masse, and many skabels learned to accept those who were different from them. Although Six Zero has lived twice as long as any other skabel, he seems to show no signs of age. None of his research states how long grand skabels live for, but at this rate skabels can look forward to many more years of leadership from Six Zero.

Special

Grand Prophet: Any skabel that hears or reads Six Zero's words will see them as trustworthy. This does not apply to anything presented as fiction or an opinion, only to things presented as absolutely true facts.

Trivia

• While the vast majority of his writing is nonfiction, Six Zero is the author of a very popular series of mystery novels called Angelfyre. The Angelfyre series follows an angel named Geo as they investigate various anomalous incidents across the universe. Notable books in the series include Angelfyre: the Undying Shadow, Angelfyre: the Planet of Flesh, and Angelfyre: What Lies Beyond.

• After Six Zero's rise in power, an expedition into the catacombs of Oprindelse was undertaken by all 256 grand skabels alive at the time. After this, the birth rate of skabels increased drastically.

• Despite the fact that not every skabel agrees with his political beliefs, nobody has risen to challenge Six Zero for the title of world leader.
