1000 xp are needed to reach level 1st
Weapon and Proficiencies:
All character are proficient with simple weapons, no armor, no shields.
its flavorful for long play characters. Perfect to play with slow xp rate
I've seen Level 0 before. Yours has some nice flavor to it.
This can be done a number of different ways. It can be good if the PC's don't want a particularly heroic or harrowing background.
I'm sure your players will enjoy it. But, I wouldn't necessarily make this a prerequisite for every campaign, as it may get cumbersome.

AD&D had a module (Treasure Hunt) for 0-level characters where you chose a race, but you role-play through the module determined what class and alignment you would have. Skills were role-played out as well (e.g. yeah, I want to climb those vines, but my character has always been afraid of heights). Everyone knew a simple weapon and could "learn" others as they went. A future arcane user "chose" when they felt it was time to use magic after being exposed to it.
Not for the faint of heart or new players, but definitely a good challenge.
Super Genius Games has a book specifically designed to do just this. While I don't have a copy of this particular book, I do have a few other SGG materials and they are all great. You might want to look into it, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
