1''Zero to Chaos'' is an improv comedy/supernatural/mystery podcast created by [=WilStin=] Studios. The Tumblr blog for the podcast can found [[http://zerotochaos.tumblr.com here]].

3The series focuses on twin brothers [[PolarOppositeTwins Bedford "Bee" and Caesar "Cee" Abbott]] living in Aurora Park, a strange town that can't be found if looked for, and where people go when they don't want anyone to find them. Along with a large cast of supporting characters, the Abbott brothers deal with situations ranging from everyday problems to [[TownWithADarkSecret far more sinister things happening within the town...]]

5!!''Zero to Chaos'' contains examples of:
6
7* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Subverted since we don't actually know yet if Bee and Cee are identical or fraternal twins yet, as they look similar enough where either one is a possibility. As far as their personalities go they're PolarOppositeTwins though.
8* AndIMustScream: Nihili, as a mist spirit, [[AnArmAndALeg doesn't have limbs.]]
9* BackAlleyDoctor: Buzzy, a black market organ salesman/surgeon who keeps one of his apartment's bedrooms sterilized to use as a makeshift operating room.
10* BunnyEarsLawyer: Bee is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} an oddball]] for sure, but he's REALLY good at his job at the suicide prevention hotline. He's never lost a single caller.
11** Jin qualifies too, with his personality and also the fact he's a wealthy and powerful mafia boss.
12* ChildhoodFriends: Bee and Will have known each other since they were little kids, however the latter moved away during high school.
13* CityOfAdventure: Aurora Park.
14* ClosedCircle: This is apparently how Aurora Park is ''supposed'' to work. When Will is somehow able to call Bee from outside of town, everyone finds this incredibly abnormal. According to Nihili, the cause may be interference by something or someone.
15* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Both Bee and Jin.
16* DreamWalker: Nihili says that Omni has this ability.
17* DysfunctionJunction: And how! Basically every character has some sort of serious issues they're working through.
18* EmbarrassingFirstName: Presumably why Bedford and Caesar instead go by Bee and Cee respectfully.
19* FunPersonified: Bee.
20* GrandTheftMe: Through the use of a Ouija board, a ghost called Nihili takes possession of Bee's body throughout most of episode 4.
21* {{Hikikomori}}: Buzzy is agoraphobic and doesn't ever leave his apartment. As a result the neighbors often try to check on him to see if he's dead or not, which severely annoys him.
22* NervousWreck: Will, who in addition to being timid and skittish is also kind of a doormat.
23* NoodleIncident: Whatever happened last time Bee used the Ouija board before episode 4. All he tells Will about it is they needed an exorcist afterward.
24* NouveauRiche: Jin, who's mansion has ''forty bedrooms.''
25--> '''Apollo''': I don't care how rich you are, no one needs that many bedrooms!
26* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Buzzy, as demonstrated in episode 3 when he hires Bee to grocery shop for him.
27--> '''Buzzy''': Go ahead and get whatever's on the list there and the rest is your's.
28--> '''Bee''': Buzzy. Buzzster. Buzz-Buzz. HOW MUCH FUCKING MONEY DO YOU THINK GROCERIES ARE?!
29--> '''Buzzy''': Not much.
30--> '''Bee''': How much money is in this stack?!
31--> '''Buzzy''': Uh, I counted out... 20k?
32--> '''Bee:''' Why did you give me 20k for groceries?!
33* SenseFreak: Nihili while possessing Bee in episode 4, since he's normally a ghost and doesn't have a body or the ability to do things like eat.
34* ShipTease: In episode 1, Bee insists that Cee has a crush on Tyrone. In episode 3, Bee confesses to Buzzy that he has a crush on Will.
35* SinisterSurveillance: Nihili seems to be wrapped up in some sort of conspiracy involving this and warns Will that he's [[ParanoiaFuel being watched.]]
36--> '''Nihili''': Spirits watch over this town. They keep it safe. But, watching over this town means that... I might be watched. By some people who I don't want to watch me. I don't want them to know how much I know.
37* StraightGay: A large amount of the characters are homosexual but you'd have no way of knowing until their attraction towards other characters of the same gender is brought up.
38* TeamPet: Polybius the "cat" (actually a ferret).
39* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Nihili's is apparently chocolate pudding, given how he demands it from Will after possessing Bee.
40* TownWithADarkSecret: There's still a lot of things we don't know about Aurora Park, how it operates and why it's so strange.
41* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Episode 4 introduces us to Nihili, a man from Victorian England who died and became a mist spirit. Not all spirits are dead people though, as some are born spirits, such as Nihili's prism spirit "not boyfriend" Omni.
42* PolarOppositeTwins: The Abbott brothers.
43* WeirdnessMagnet: There are a lot of bizarre things in Aurora Park, like a store that only sells exactly what you need and ''nothing else.'' In episode 1, it's a pet store with only a single ferret for sale, even though Cee is looking for a cat.
