» Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Episode Zero
Episode Zero is a prequel manga that takes place at various points before the series and gives a bit more information on the backgrounds of the main characters. At the start of Quatre's chapter, we see a much different person from the sweet, good-natured pilot in the series. He's resentful and hates himself, feeling that he's a pawn that can easily be replaced because of the way he was born.
When space colonies were first developed, the harsh conditions of space led to reproductive abnormalities, so only artificial reproduction via test tubes was permitted. Fortunately, by AC 100 (100 years "After Colony" development), most of the issues were overcome, and natural childbirth was allowed again. The Winner family had been in space from the very beginning, however, which led to a predisposition to complications. As a result, 29 of Zayeed's children--all daughters--were test tube babies. The thirtieth child, Quatre, was the first and only one who was born naturally, but it was at the cost of his mother Quatrine's life. Quatre was never told this, though, believing himself to be one more obedient tool created for the sole benefit of the Winner Corporation. His purpose was to be an heir and nothing more.
Fast forward thirteen years. Feeling worthless, Quatre decided to run away to Earth. During the trip, the Winner shuttle was hijacked by the Maganac Corps, a forty-man army of mobile suit pilots. They took the shuttle hostage in an attempt to free the workers on the MO-III satellite, where they were being held without proper pay. When they contacted Zayeed Winner and explained their cause, Zayeed supported them and granted access to any of the Winner resources they might find on the satellite. He then asked to speak to Quatre, whom he was surprised to see on the shuttle. It prompted an outburst from Quatre, who explained that running away to Earth was his way of showing his father that he wasn't just a tool for the Winner family and that he could act and think for himself. Unimpressed with this reaction, Rashid, the head of the Maganac, smacked Quatre across the face and told him to have some pride in himself. It turned out that Rashid and the rest of the Maganac Corps were test tube babies as well; the fact that Quatre thought of himself as a mere creation because of the way he was born was an insult to them. "No matter what your circumstances, once you've been given the gift of life, you must live a life you can be proud of. That's the way of the Maganac."
This philosophy awakened something in Quatre. From that point, he began to change, discovering the compassionate soul he truly possessed. It started with his discovery of a traitor among the Maganac. Yuda was a double-spy for the Alliance (a coalition of most of Earth's nations, which exercised oppressive control over the space colonies) and notified them of the Maganac's coordinates. This resulted in an unexpected attack. When Rashid wondered how they'd been found so quickly, Quatre informed them of Yuda's betrayal and led the man, bound by ropes, to stand before the Maganac. Unfortunately, the ropes weren't tied very well; Yuda escaped and grabbed another man's gun, firing a shot at Rashid. Quatre attempted to intervene by jumping in front of the bullet, but it went through his shoulder and hit Rashid, anyway.
With their captain incapacitated, the Maganac set out to battle the Alliance on their own. Surprisingly, Quatre insisted that he help, wanting a chance to prove that he was useful so that he could be proud of himself. Although they were hesitant at first, Rashid told them to give Quatre his goggles and to let him pilot his mobile suit.

⚥ Crona goes off with Marie to confront Medusa and rescue Stein. Crona is massively injured, almost dies, and then is only a background character for the rest of the series.
Apping Crona is like applying for two characters, though Ragnarok will be active less often in the game then his meister.
Crona
Crona’s gender is unknown, so this (and any sort of third-person section) will sound kind of awkward as I attempt to kick pronouns to the curb.
Nervous, jumpy, submissive, usually terrified, and soul-crushingly pessimistic (reading one of Crona’s poems made a zombie so depressed he regretted he had ever been brought back to life), Crona is described on TVTropes as “the woobiest woobie that ever woobed”.
Crona’s mindset and personality have been shaped by the actions of Crona’s mother, the witch Medusa. When Crona was very young, Medusa began conducting a variety of experiments on Crona, in an attempt to create a Kishin (because every loving mother tries to turn their child into a demon god of insanity). So, Medusa melted Ragnarok down into Black Blood, replaced Crona’s blood with this wonderful magic substance, and then (through use of such psychological torture as locking Crona in dark closets without food for days on end) killed the child’s conscience by making Crona kill small bunnies and things.
This (and some other magic spells Medusa placed on Crona) caused the child to go completely insane. Gibberingly insane. Laughing and screaming and cutting people to pieces and eating their souls insane.
Underneath the insanity though, Crona is a painfully timid individual. “I don’t know how to deal with […]” is Crona’s catchphrase, and hiding in a corner is the way to deal with most things when you don’t know what else to do (and when killing the annoyance isn’t an option). This lack of comprehending how people work and how to function in society comes from the utter lack of human contact in Crona’s life.
Ragnarok
Noisy, overbearing, bullying, tsundere, slightly perverted, and self-centered, Ragnarok is pretty much everything Crona isn’t. He bullies Crona, stealing his meister’s food and liberally delivering noogies and light punches, carrying on running commentary about Crona’s fighting skills during battles, and letting Crona take light blows (not in combat) that were meant for Ragnarok. Additionally, he enjoys the taking and eating of souls, even without Medusa’s mind-altering spells. However, he is somewhat fond of his meister (because of their shared bodies and symbiotic nature), and protects, heals, and at times even encourages Crona.
Abilities
Black Blood abilities: Blood hardens to provide protection against all by the strongest cutting attacks. Enhanced strength. Inhumanly fast healing if injured. Manipulation of blood outside of body (for example, the bloody needles attack, transforming blood splatters into flying needles, or the bloody slicer attack, in which Crona slits zir own wrist and uses that blood as a blade).
Soul Perception: Crona can see souls. Power levels, species, some basic personality traits, and if they're a Kishin Egg (have eaten the souls of innocent humans).
Ragnarok’s abilities: Transforms into broadsword, which uses sonic vibrations to act a like a buzzsaw, shredding in addition to slashing. Three different forms of his Screech attack (α, β, γ) which unleash a devastating sonic wave in conjunction with slashes of the sword. His soul resonance form results in Crona growing "wings" made of the black blood, and gaining the ability of flight.
World-note
Crona and Ragnarok are animeverse, which would put them in a different timeline from the rest of the Soul Eater cast.

History:
☈ Neuro came. Neuro solved. Neuro terrified. Neuro left. You are now terrified and you don't know why.
okay seriously.
☈ Neuro leaves Hell because fuck Hell, man. All the good yummy mysteries were all gone! So, birdman leaves hell and comes to the real world to devour mysteries.
☈ He finds a delectable mystery in the form of Yako's father's murder. But, before he can consume that mystery, he decides to consume a few more to get a taste of things.
☈ Due to the fact that demons can't show their true form or any inclination that they are from Hell, he takes on Yako as his "cover" and basically transforms her into A SUPER AWESOME DETECTIVE THAT IS SO SUPER FAMOUS, when really he just needs her to point to the culprit and take any suspicion off him.
☈ They solve mysteries before NEURO DESCENDS UPON YAKO'S FATHER'S MURDER. Where the police couldn't figure it out, Neuro figures it out in a half hour. After he solves Yako's father's murder, he eats the mystery and sends the murderer into his own personal hell. Such a charming guy, huh?
☈ When Yako thinks she's in the clear, THERE HE APPEARS AGAIN. Neuro suggests (read: forces her to) start her own detective agency. They get a building from the mob when Neuro solves a mystery from them and they collect Slave #3: Godai.
☈ They solve a case of a stalker and a superstar that sends them into superstardom.
☈ Several cases later, this guy decides that hey, it would be great to create a super human program named HAL and create a virus/program that inherently brainwashes people to bring out the most violent in them. By this time, Neuro is running on empty when it comes to his demonic powers and Yako takes over and kicks ass.
☈ Phantom Thief Sai takes it and starts brainwashing people, including Yako. This pisses the hell out of Neuro (who usually doesn't give a damn about the people he apprehends), because what the hell, he's the only one allowed to abuse Yako AND NOT AT ALL BECAUSE HE STARTS TO LIKE THE BOTTOM FEEDING SLUG. But they're ~*~bond~*~ (and a series of logical deductions), he figures out which one is Yako and he kicks ass. But, he's victoryblocked by an asshole named Sicks.
☈ LONG STORY SHORT, there's this guy named Sicks wants to destroy humanity and that positively angers Neuro (which is scary as hell - GET IT? GET IT? please don't reject my app because of that) because humans create mysteries and Neuro needs his food source to survive. After their fight, Neuro has fully exhausted his demon energy for a while.
☈ Neuro goes back to the demon world 8(
☈ Neuro comes back 8)
