Zero Hero789 joined MFGG on August 15th, 2006. He really hasn't ecountered many problems other than being (jokingly I guess) hit on by Sergeant Jinpen several times. However on September 19th, things turned sour.

His forum ("the Tallon IV Defenders" - recently shut down, now back online) was spammed by someone (he thinks Jinpen) and was suspended for bringing it up on the forums (he complained about Jinpen and Spam Rocet, a group dedicated to spamming forums); a violation of the outside dispute rule. He made a dupe account shortly after, and was given an additonal 2 days-ban. (This account was not created by Zero, as soon found out.) Someone else made 3 more accounts pretending to be Zero, in an attempt to get Zero banned. It almost worked when Klobber said, "Okay, you're permabanned", until Klobber editted his post when he discovered one of the e-mail addresses used for the dupe was "dwangster@eskimobob.com", implying that Jinpen might've been behind the accounts. It was confirmed on September 26th, 2006.

He's now back, but the forum certainly has taken it's toll: he is now a little more sarcastic and sadistic than he was when he join, as cited by another member.

He was also banned AGAIN for saying Draku had no life.

He also likes to draw his character with a mini, one like the Mini Marios from Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2.

His sense of humor has also changed and he has not really been flamed very often in the past, though he has sometimes made a complete fool of himself. He also tends to get behind on games nowadays, because he doesn't have them shipped and he often gets them late, due to a lack of cash and the fact that his brother owns a Nintendo Wii with Nintendo Power subscriptions. He's not in the loop, but he really doesn't care.

During production of MFGG RPG, before the requests, his computer suddenly crashed, for reasons unknown. However, it is presumed that his dad goofed it up, trying to get an internet connection (and it was slow at that, never got online, even with a super-strong signal). With the death he lost inumerable sprites, FAQs, game data and projects. He hasn't quite recovered from this loss quite yet, and now he feels much sympathy towards those who lost their computers, however the subject is one he tends to avoid or change.

His new laptop, with internet access, has greatly improved his life and now, he's feeling better than ever. Plus it's faster.

His Game Creation Recently

He has dropped all other projects in an attempt to make his comic book into a game. He already has quite a few ideas and is really getting into it. He is also developing a M&L style RPG Engine.

He has a MIDI producer too: however due to a lack of instuments and a keyboard he hardly ever uses it. He also has an animation maker.

His Games

A short list of his games that he's made, their status, and progress.

• Super Mario Camera Chaos - Canned. It was his very first project in Game Maker and was very poorly made: the camera system sucked, basically. He went so far as to add the idea of manual manipulation and a mode that depended on it, Hard Mode. However the levels were so short as to be rediculous.
• Super Shadow Mario Bros. - Canned. His second project. It was a bit of an improvement, and had an original concept (kinda), but the engine was just as bad as SMCC. In fact, there was the "spin jump" and a variety of other junk that really hurt the game. The boss was simple as well. The game will never see the light of day again.
• Super Mario Travels - Canned. It used a poor edit of the GOSIME engine. It had a few concepts of SM64 but lacked creativity.
• Super Mario Classic - Glitch Canned. It was his first completed game, well, almost. A horrible glitch affected the Ancient Prophecies level. Upon entering Act 3, the player died, and was not seen on screen. BlackRocket might have fixed this, if it weren't for the horrible computer crash that basically wiped everything on his old computer. The only way to beat the game is with the Beta Key: 3. It used some original ideas never seen before, such as Light Beams and tornados. He went so far as to add Barrel Cannons from Donkey Kong Country. It's one of the more gimmicky games.
• Super Mario 64 2D - Planned/Crashed. He was using the GOSIME engine to create a 2D version of Super Mario 64, disgusted at all the others that didn't use overworld/isometric. Of course, it got flushed away in the computer crash, but he's replanning it without a GOSIME engine.
• Super Mario Classic 2 - Not In Production. The sequel to Super Mario Classic. It's said to use a SMB2 style of game play.
• MFGG RPG - Production Halted. He first created the idea after getting some confidence from the good reviews from Super Mario Classic. Of course, with the banning from lists, he had to work around that. In fact, he created rules as to who could join and who couldn't, but he basically near ditched the rules: however, a few desirables he wanted in got in. After posting the engine, there was a burst of confidence: a lot of people loved it and thought this could be the next great MFGG Game hit, since most are poorly made lists. However, there was a lack of leverage since everyone wanted to be a hero, not an enemy. Production is currently halted, but it may continue if enough enemys sign up. Orignally, he wanted to use mods and admins as the bosses.
• Viewtiful Mario - Canned. It's an entry for the minigame comp. It's basically a mix of Mario and Viewtiful Joe, two of his favorite series. While he waits faithfully for the 3rd part of the story that may never come (he heard that Clover was put out of buisness or sold by Capcom), he's been focused on the idea of a fangame forever. He plans to add the Slow superpower. He also plans on a full fledged game if it ends up in the top five or three.
• Viewtiful Joe: Cyber Space Out - Canned. It was also wiped out in the crash. He never announced it: never. However, the engine worked fine except for a glitch he could never explain. In Viewtiful Mario, he thinks he has the idea down and will test it soon.
• Super Mario Shell Madness - Halted. It's a Zoop fangame, based after BlackRocket's favorite puzzle game next to Tetris. If you've never heard of it, find the Java version on the internet. It's worth your while.
• BlackRocket 2.0 - In Production. No, it's not about him, it's about his comic characters. He hopes to make the game the biggest hit in MFGG history. He's already got the story and everything planned out: he just needs to make it.

While the only fangame he's finished is Super Mario Classic, he's hoping to make Viewtiful Mario and MFGG RPG the better Mario fangames, and BlackRocket 2.0 one of the better GAMES. It's not a fangame, it's just A game. He hopes to get fangames based off it arriving. However, he will deeply chastize the creators if they mess up even once.

The Real World

BlackRocket 2.0 tends to enjoy a semi-healthy life.

His class, while in Honors, he tends to think of as preschool. Not because the subjects are easy, but because the whole class is a bunch of nutjobs. He should talk.

His whole grade is another matter. They are BELOW preschool. A bunch of slack-jawed idiots who won't ever shut up. In particular, he hates many of the girls because they never shut up and they always think they're better than everybody. Which is why he still doesn't have a girlfriend. They're the main reason the whole grade had assigned seating at lunch last year and now this year.

Another hated enemy is the Blabbermouth 2000. He won't divulge names, but his lifelong dream is to make a game mode where all you do is beat the kid senseless. It won't be an unlockable, it's available right from the start. Lovable guy, huh?

His best friends call him Kirby, and no, it's not because his stomach is a danger to all things edible that he considers delicious.

His grades aren't stellar and never will be unless he quits his laziness.

He's considered one of the top 3 geniuses in class. While the order of smartness is debatable, he really doesn't think he's in the top 3, more of a top 10ish.

He's bored easily and enjoys imitating Mario, and saying "Press Mama Mia to play" a lot. His random comments about pie and ROFLcopters doesn't scare his friends: they're too used to him.

He hangs out with weird friends and generally aces Computer Apps classes with ease.

He hates writing in the third person like now.

Recently he has developed a talent for imitating Mario very well: he can often create new phrases for enigmatic plumber and even go into conversations with the voice. He plans on getting a microphone so he can record his own voice into any upcoming Mario games he plans.

Disappearance

Recently, BlackRocket disappeared and didn't come back for about a week. His time online has since been limted, yet the barrier seems to be lifting ever so slowly.
