CHARACTER INFO
❥ Name: Zack Fair
❥ Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
❥ Canon Point: Post-fight with Angeal Penance
❥ Fandom OC Approval: N / A
❥ History: Zack's character profile translated from the FFVII Ultimania, and his character page on the FF wiki.
❥ Personality: Let me tell you a little bit about this kid.
Ambition may as well be his middle name. ( It might be, for all we know … ) He left his hometown of Gongaga at the age of thirteen with aspirations of joining the SOLDIER program in Midgar. Thirteen. Didn't tell his parents he was leaving, probably didn't tell his friends anything, either. Even at that age, he wanted to be a hero, wanted to make a name for himself and do something great with his life. And you know what? He was 2nd Class when he was sixteen, still training under Angeal, and after their mission to Wutai, he was recommended for a promotion to 1st.
Which he got. ( Thanks, Angeal! He loves you, man! )
He's the kind of guy that doesn't ever really take things too seriously. Or, rather, he jokes around quite a bit until things become serious, and then it's all down to business. He's rarely ever without a smile on his face, without a kind word to say, and that's a large part of why so many people tend to take a liking to him. I'm pretty sure he tends to think of anyone he comes across as a friend that he hasn't made yet – and it shows in how he speaks to people, how he genuinely wants to get to know them in any way possible. And once he's in your life, you'd better be prepared to have him around for the long haul, because he doesn't abandon his friends for anything. Refuses to.
Which kind of goes hand-in-hand with saying that he may as well be a puppy for how loyal he is. If you make a friend out of him, you have a friend for life. No lie. He will defend his friends with both his life and honor – which, well. Anyone that knows anything about the FFVII series knows in pretty vivid detail. ( Sigh. Damn hero-types, you always go and get yourself killed trying to protect someone you care about, don't you? )
That being said, he is greatly influenced by the friends he makes. Angeal Hewley, both his friend and mentor, made a giant impact on him during their time together. He greatly valued the older SOLDIER's opinion of him, took everything he said to heart – especially his opinion on maintaining one's pride and honor. It's why he stayed with Shinra for so long, even after things started falling apart, after Genesis defected; he wanted to believe that there was still some good in the people he put so much faith in.
Which, it goes without saying that he feels that way about nearly everyone. Even Sephiroth, when they were sent on assignment together to Nibelheim, he didn't want to believe that the other SOLDIER had turned away from what the whole of Shinra stood for. ( Even if … well. Shinra isn't full of sunshine and daisies and goodness. It's kind of their fault that the Planet was nearly destroyed. Thanks, Rufus. You got a lotta 'splainin' and compensatin' to do, bro. )
Zack also has this best friend named Cloud. This best friend named Cloud is also from a backwater little town, also has aspirations of joining SOLDIER and doing something great with his life, doing something better than being an infantryman for the Shinra army. This is the best friend that he defends with his life, the best friend that he protects while in a rather comatose state due to Mako poisoning.
This best friend also spends a good two years of his life convinced that he actually did join SOLDIER and made a hero of himself, but that's another story entirely. The fact remains that Cloud was the closest friend he had next to Angeal, and his loyalty to the younger boy was unfailing to the very end.
Not everyone can say they'd be willing to die to keep their friends safe, would they? ( Well, okay, I'm sure there are others I could think of that would say that, but this is also Final Fantasy we're talking about, here. It's kind of a recurring theme. )
Now, let's talk about how he is with the ladies for a moment. He's … a bit of a flirt. ( Okay, a lot of a flirt, but. Well. Yeah. ) That isn't to say he's good with flirting, but it doesn't keep him from it. There are several instances in which he shows off his complete and utter lack of tact when it comes to asking for dates, but no one should be surprised by the fact that nothing seems to deter him. Hell, after he falls through the roof of Aerith's church in Sector 5, he asks her for just one date, and is that really a way to respond to crashing into someone's flower bed? Nope. But he does it anyway, and she's apparently so endeared by him that she puts up with his nonsense.
And he helps her build a flower cart so she can fill the slums with flowers. Talk about adorable.
He's still a terrible flirt, though. End of story.
Despite the fact that he's forced to grow up too quickly, there isn't much that can get him down. By the age of sixteen, he's seen and done too many things that a boy his age should never have to experience, but he still manages to keep pushing forward, to keep up with his faith in humanity as a whole. He might be hopelessly hopeful to a fault, but if it helps him counter the utter bullshit that is happening around him, I can't say his optimism is a bad thing. He never gives up, and it shows in everything he does.
He also humors little treasure hunting girls. And plays along with their ploys of getting him to go find all of these hidden-away-from-absolutely-everything-ever treasure chests, and what kind of guy would seriously even consider going out of his way to play along with that kind of thing? ( Yuffie, you'd better be glad he's such a good sport. Otherwise, you'd have to do all of this hunting on your own. Not that we don't think you would, but your nine-year-old self is kind of crazy. A lot crazy. Whatever. )
So, what do we have here? We have a teenager that doesn't know when to quit, has an inexhaustible amount of faith in mankind and their ability to do the right thing when it all comes down to it, aspirations to do great things with his life and a penchant for not knowing when to call it quits when his flirting isn't exactly doing the job. We have a fiercely loyal, Mako-enhanced SOLDIER determined to make all of the right decisions, to stay above water even when he feels like he's drowning and he's lost too many things dear to him. We have a boy hell-bent on protecting everything that falls under his care, and a dream of a pair of wings that he doesn't have yet.
That's pretty much Zack Fair in a nutshell.
❥ Abilities: SOLDIER training on top of being injected with Mako and Jenova cells which make him a stronger, better soldier. ( How many times can I use that word in one sentence, lord have mercy. )
He's not superhuman by any means — just enhanced beyond what one might expect from, say, a regular infantryman. He can do like a billion squats without getting tired. He has energy enough for probably ten people, might not be the brightest crayon in the box right off the bat but he's pretty quick on the upkeep. And did I mention he was tenacious?
Also pretty decent knowledge of how to use materia, which means element-based spells like fire, blizzard, thunder, etc., healing spells — but to actually use this knowledge, specific materia needs to be equipped, so it's kind of useless if he doesn't actually have anything on him.
❥ Extras: Would you like your characters abilities nerfed? What would you like them to lose or how will it be cut down?
He isn't possessed of anything game-breaking, unless he happens to do a set of squats that set off an earthquake or something. ( I'm absolutely kidding, I don't think anything is in need of being nerfed. )
Did your character bring anything along (limit 3 items) with them?
→ One ( 1 ) Buster Sword as pictured here
→ One ( 1 ) Cura materia
→ One ( 1 ) Thundara materia
Which god will they choose to support? Or do you wish to be randomized?
Ainea!
