CHARACTER
Name: Zack Fair
Canon: Final Fantasy VII Compliation
Age: 23 at the time of death, actual age 26
Timeline: At the end of Advent Children Complete.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality: Zack is a very eager individual who is determined to become a hero. He's a typical teenager with a lot of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn with a bit of zeal added to his already boisterous nature. He's a bit arrogant and he backs up what he says. He is a known hero worshiper and does hold to the idea very tightly that he wishes to become a hero even though his goal is a lofty one. Zack is cocky when he feels comfortable showing it even though he exhibits this most when he's in battle and often throws out banter or speaks out that he seems to be having fun in his fights.
Before leaving his hometown of Gongaga, he dreamed of becoming a hero. It is this dream that has shaped him and helped him make his decisions with as little bloodshed as possible. He has a simple mentality much like others that hail from small towns with only one major difference. He dreams big. Real big.
He's inquisitive, curious at times, flirtatious (although he's really bad at it) and very active. He likes people and tends to try to keep them happy but not to the point of being annoying. He takes some clues but most times he needs a direct hand to guide him to making better decisions.
He speaks his mind even at the risk of being laughed at or told to keep quiet. He's also restless and pretty sure that he'll make his mark as a member of SOLDIER. Mostly, he'll ask questions about matters that he doesn't understand. It's these traits that earns him the name "Zack the Puppy".
He is polite but a little rough around the edges much like a country kid. He has a bit of that country-like mentality that everyone is a friend first unless he's proven differently. Just because someone says they don't like someone doesn't always apply to Zack. He will follow orders but does them his way. He would rather talk his way through a situation than fight but there are times that he will fight if he believes that there is no other way.
He's a kind soul with a lot of spunk and fiery passion that makes him unique among other members of SOLDIER. He follows his heart at times but he does understand that there are situations that call for tougher action. He's a bit impulsive unless he's told to cut loose or "off his leash".
Zack defends his friends fiercely and he believes in them. He doesn't take kindly to anyone he cares about being treated wrongly or talked bad about badly. Lying isn't something that Zack will ever do. Withholding information is a different matter. As often as he is distracted, he is often not taken seriously at first glance. He seems relatively harmless because of his treatment of people. He enjoys feeling like he is serving a greater cause.
Zack is very much a people pleaser in his early days. This changes when his loyalty is shaken when he starts seeing dirty secrets that have been kept from him. Even though he is still determined to be a hero, it is this determination that keeps him going with the purpose of upholding the honor he has as a member of SOLDIER and as a man. He is often times unshakeable and will not stop in his tasks until they are completed or when he's dismissed.
His faith is shaken but he still believes in his honor and remains persistent during a later mission. Zack is not the type of person to run from a fight unless he knows there is no other choice. He does his best to remain optimistic through the tough times and begins to hide what he truly feels. He becomes a bit closed off and a little hard with an intensity that he has to keep going or he'll fail those that depend on him.
He can be hard when he has to be and usually it's when he's given an order that he doesn't like. He is also emotional and highly dependable. He is self-sufficient and reliable. Independent, Zack is a capable fighter and he does exhibit leadership qualities. He's a good listener and tries his best to help others even if his own needs are set aside.
Later in life, Zack is a bit more cautious and very driven by his instincts to survive. He becomes cynical to the point that he questions where he places his trust and how much trust he gives. He takes his honor very seriously. He went as far to complete his mentor's tasks first to restore his mentor's honor first before he took care of his own needs.
He values life seriously to the point that he faces the ShinRa army himself to save Cloud's life. It wasn't because he felt he had nothing to lose, it's to the contrary. He knows that Cloud is being used as an experiment and he wants to save him from that fate even if he didn't fully understand what that experiment is.
While he enjoys the thrill of a good fight, he also knows when to back away. He doesn't actively look for a fight anymore at the end of Advent Children and decides that it's better to find a solution than engage unless he's provoked, and usually that means if his values are questioned or if his friends are in trouble that he needs to help.
The way he views his friends and family are really high on his list of importance but none is more important to him than Aerith. His love for Aerith runs far deeper than just being in love with her, and since being in the Lifestream after his death and being with her in the Lifestream after her death, they are connected by the Lifestream. In his life, he had thought of marriage but he died before he could be with her again. In the Lifestream, marriage isn't quite an option but at least he has the chance to be with her again.
Background: Being SOLDIER isn't really about what you wear, it's in the heart that counts.
Abilities: Zack will have no memory of the previous Zack in the game due to not experiencing anything from Ruby City. He'll mostly use text messages and will carry on conversations forever with the feature while video and voice are used rarely. (This is mostly out of getting into the habit of not draining his battery so fast through the use of his PHS in canon even though the pocket watch is very different even if the principle is the same. Also this can be attributed to the fact that he had to learn how to keep his verbal messages short since he only uses it to convey messages faster without spending a lot of time talking when he could be on a mission that he can't afford to be distracted.)
Zack has an array of skills that usually span into the mechanics, carpentry and all around handy man, grunt work that includes heavy labor, lifting and carrying heavy objects, sword skills, and some gardening that he learned while he watched Aerith tend the flowers. He has a lot of interpersonal skills that allows him to use his empathy. He understands people better than he understands science which still goes way over his head but at least he's willing to learn it.
From his SOLDIER training, he knows how to dance which isn't something he does often. He's also physically active by working out now that he has a body again and wants to take care of it. This means he will be running, doing his usual routines of squats, chin-ups, push-ups and sit-ups. He might engage in sparring once in a while to keep sharp. Since he won't have his Buster Sword with him, he'll also want to have a sword commissioned even though he won't ask for one made exactly like the Buster Sword since that was made only for Angeal. To do so would be like a slap in the face to his beloved mentor.
Power Abilities: Zack has the unique ability to use Limit Breaks and special abilities unique to others through a trait known as Mimic. Once he learns an ability, he keeps that ability. He is also able to tap into his memories to access these abilities at any given time though he usually uses them in battle or when he's in a desperate situation. It's similar to how Angeal can copy genetic traits and pass them on to others even though Zack can't pass his abilities once he's learned them.
Zack possesses a natural will power and inner strength with a lot of untapped potential. He also possesses heightened strength about twice that of a normal male his age, heightened hearing that allows him to listen for the faintest sounds, keen eyesight that allows him to see almost completely in the dark, and heightened sense of smell. These senses allow him to become effective in battle when the situation calls for him to use his senses over his sight.
Zack also possesses cat-like agility and leaping that accompanies this ability. He's faster than normal, almost blindingly fast. He can dodge bullets and bat them away. His eyes adjust to the speeds and allows him to circumvent being struck by them. However, this doesn't mean that he's invincible to attack. His speed and senses are his greatest asset in battle but he can still be defeated.
Apocolypse: This ability allows him to tap into the memory he has of Genesis to create a magical circle on the ground that traps the target in place that deals incredible damage once the symbol explodes with tremendous force.
Octaslash: This ability is copied from Sephiroth. Although not the same as Sephiroth's, he does perform the attack with precision by using eight separate hits compared to Sephiroth's where he strikes opponents, flings them into the air, strikes them in mid air and falls so he could deliver the final blow.
Healing Wave: Zack is able to heal himself from status ailments, heal himself, restore his magical energy and grants him temporary invincibility.
Meteor Shots: Zack is able to call several large meteors from the sky to rain down on his targets.
Lucky Stars: He obtains this ability when he meets Cissnei. In Ruby City, he won't be using this unless he meets her to obtain it. This ability allows him give critical status ailments such as poison, doom, stun and silence.
Rush Assault: An ability that he learned from Angeal that allows him to deal incredible damage through hand to hand strikes. This is one of his first abilities he learned and one of his hardest hitting that takes on three different forms as A, B, and C. They are subsequent in dealing damage. The last one, C, deals damage and inflicts stun.
Air Strike: This ability is taken from Tseng where he yells into the phone that he's trying but then the ShinRa air strike occurs where bombs are released from the craft that deals a lot of damage. This ability will not be used in game since the technology is not available to be utilized.
Summons: Zack can use summons to deal punishing damage though he will not be able to use them in Ruby City. The reason for this is because the summons are tied to Gaia on top of which that he hasn't learned how to use them properly. He knows about them and the basic mechanics behind it but that was something he never had used in practice.
Materia: Zack will not be coming in with any materia since he's been dead for some time and everything that he's had with him has been left behind when his body had vanished to return to the Lifestream. He still has his abilities.
First Person:
Zack and Aerith reunion at the Test Drive
Third Person:
Zack opened his eyes with his sights set on exploring the city. Bright blue eyes scanned the area when he had taken his first steps off the apron and into the city. Houses that seemed ordinary reminded him of the nicer parts of towns he had once seen in his travels. He thought about what life would be like in a place like this and had dreams at one point in his life to settle down and have a family. Well, that all would have to depend on if he could see Aerith again. He wasn't about to settle with any other.
With a sigh in his thoughts, he counted it as only a dream and nothing more yet he still had his hope. He looked ahead and through his heightened senses, he smelled flowers. The old memory of the church in the slums of Sector 5 brought back the nostalgia of him and Aerith tending the flowers in the small patch of green that peeked through the broken boards of the church. He smiled to himself then and continued to follow the direction of the scent.
It grew stronger with each step and his heart began to race. Maybe, just maybe he would find something familiar in this odd place that gave him a second chance at life. The breeze shifted and he lost the scent. His senses wasn't able to pick it up again and he was feeling a little bit lost. He continued to wander in search for that memory again.
Several minutes had passed and he had finally found the source that had made his memories nearly tangible. He was certain that he was dreaming when he saw the sign that said, "Blooms of Gaia". He felt the familiar pull of something warm waiting behind the door and he inhaled deeply once again.
Zack's gloved hand reached for the door and was greeted by the familiar sight of someone he remembered so well that had kept him going even in his darkest hour. He smiled brightly at the familiar figure in pink in front of the counter that has her back turned to the door and closed the door behind him.
