Sculpted from the Big Bang’s creation, The Zero Point is the
source of our world and every world in fiction. As an orb of
energy unlike any other, the Zero Point cycles power from everything that ever has been and ever will be. A Universe is called a Reality. Realities have infinite variations in what is called a Multiverse. Every Multiverse composes what is called The Omniverse: everything. And the Zero Point is connected to them all, oscillating through the power of countless realities every second, making it quite a battery. It can also open a portal to any time and reality, but only when attuned — else it will always cycle between them. If you happen to touch it at this state, your body will disintegrate and be lost to the Omniverse. Everything natural is in tune with the Zero Point, but it tends to resonate more with frequencies: music, the sound of crystals, and the vibration of worlds themselves are all interconnected and influenced by the Zero Point. Sometimes, it even communicates through them. Such power has caught the attention of powerful people, but the one who exploited the Zero Point most was just a man of genetics: Geno, founder and leader of The Imagined Order (IO), a major antagonist in the story. The heroes that fight against it, The Seven, are more careful with the Zero Point’s power. As a peaceful yet sentient force of nature, the Zero Point protects itself by clearing its surroundings every 22 minutes — sending all nearby sentient beings back in time and space. The IO combined these natural defenses with their own technology to imprison people in the name of science inside The Loop, Fortnite Battle Royale’s gameplay. The IO wants to control the Zero Point whereas the Seven battle for its freedom. However, both sides have consequences to their actions, as shown throughout the game’s history. By containing & exploiting the Zero Point, it can destabilize — leaving the surrounding Island and its people at risk of exploding. The Island is a natural fortress that the Zero Point forges by bringing chunks from different worlds to keep itself hidden from prying eyes. So, it can always be rebuilt. By freeing the Zero Point, it can bloom — releasing more and more energy that turns the Island’s flora into a beacon of immense power, attracting threats from beyond reality. If the Zero Point can sense imminent danger, it will also bring powerful artifacts from various universes into the Island, as a warning. Fun Facts: The Zero Point’s name references two concepts in physics; the origin of a nuclear blast (in this case, a bigger one: The Big Bang), and the lowest possible energy for systems in quantum mechanics. Its first codename was “Nexus Orb”.
