Personal Relationships: (optional)
Angeal- His old mentor, who gave him the name 'Zack the Puppy'...and the Buster Sword. Zack helped the man come in terms with his identity as a monster before he died. Perhaps it was he who was the angel that took Zack to the Lifestream.
Aerith- The love of his life, who's flowerbed saved him. Zack was the one who gave her the ribbon on their date. As of now, he hoped Cloud is taking good care of her.

Standard Attack - (Fire Materia)
Upward Attack - (High Jump Materia)
Downward Attack - (Thundara Materia)
Side Attack - (Chain Slash)
Final Smash:
Digital Mind Wave
Also known as DMW, which is a slot-machine system, a manifestation of Zack's mind and thoughts of all the people he met. However, since his death, the memories of them faded from his DMW, except mostly Aerith and some of his summons. The only ones he can use is his Summon Materia. Throughout This World, anyone he grows a somewhat bond to gets added to his DMW.
Roll a 3-sided dice (This will increase when the more characters are added to the DMV). Zack will do one of the following, depending on what the dice rolls.
1: Cloud (Meteor Shot) With the memory of Cloud, an underdog of Shinra, Zack can unleash a storm of little meteors, each with 8-sided dice.
2: Sephiroth (Octaslash)- Despite his old friend fallen to the dark side, his memory, of what he used to be, lives on. 8 slashes, with 8-sided dices to a single foe.
3. Aerith (Healing Wave)- The first love of his life. When getting her, Zack's energy will be healed completely.
Weaknesses:
He mostly relies on Materia, for he doesn't really have any special skills on his own, save the Digital Mind Wave. Losing those, he'd lack in any diverse skills. Also, Zack can be a bit too cocky for his own good. He'd charge in before thinking, letting his big heart get him hurt. The massive Shinra troops was a final example.
Personality:
Mature and serious, but also fun-loving and kind. Can see the positive side of any situation even in times of crisis. Usually doesn't look at the negative things in life. Never gives up at anything. Always wants to protect those he cares about and hates violence and hurt, so he trys to protect those he loves from having to go through with that. However, he has a mealonchaly air about him, as well. If he can't be there for the ones he care about, he doubts himself and his abilities and existance. A bit emotional, but gets over the negative feelings quickly.
Likes:
Aerith, Angeal, Cloud, showing off his skills.
Dislikes:
Being treated like a rank rookie, sitting around and doing nothing, being called a puppy

History:
Zack was born in the town of Gongaga, and like many boys of his generation, dreamed of joining SOLDIER to become a 1st Class like the legendary Sephiroth. He left Gongaga and joined the Shinra Electric Power Company's military forces around the age of 14 in 1997. By October of 2000, he had reached SOLDIER 2nd Class under the tutelage of SOLDIER 1st Class Angeal Hewley. Angeal's words of wisdom and strong sense of honor had a profound effect on Zack, who wanted to be just like his mentor. During his time in SOLDIER, he became friends with 2nd Class SOLDIER Kunsel, who guided him in the ways of Shinra. Zack works under Director Lazard Deusericus in the 49th Floor of Shinra Headquarters, along with many other SOLDIER members.
Zack trained in a digital projection of Midgar, when a projection of Sephiroth overpowers him, and just as he tries to kill him, Angeal saves him and ends the training, much to Zack's disappointment. Angeal walks way saying, "Embrace your dreams and protect your honor as SOLDIER" before leaving. Despite this, he approves of Zack as a member of SOLDIER, and requests to Director Lazard that he be promoted to SOLDIER 1st Class and be sent on his own mission in Wutai to prove his abilities. Shinra had been at war with Wutai for some time by now, and SOLDIER 1st Class Sephiroth had already become a hero of Shinra for his actions there. Though Zack became ecstatic over Angeal's suggestion, he received some interesting news during the briefing: 1st Class SOLDIER Genesis Rhapsodos had deserted Shinra, taking an untold number of 2nd and 3rd Class warriors with him.
Angeal and Zack began their mission on Wutai, with Zack clearing out the fort singlehandedly, and even taking down three anti-solider monsters. But one of them manages to survive and attack Zack, until Angeal killed it with his Buster Sword, and right after when he said he never liked to use it. While heading back to meet with Lazard, several soldiers attack but Angeal stays behind to deal with them while Zack gets Lazard to safety and heads back to discover Angeal missing. Ifrit appears and battles Zack. Once again, Zack falsely believes he won and gets attacked. Just then, Sephiroth arrives and defeats Ifrit in one blow. A shocked Zack watches Sephiroth identify the bodies as copies of Genesis. Realizing that these were the soldiers that Angeal had last been seen fighting, and that he was nowhere to be seen, Sephiroth comes to the conclusion that Angeal left with his long-time friend, Genesis. Zack, however, refuses to believe that his mentor would ever desert Shinra.
Zack soon is given a new mission by Lazard. He is joined by Tseng of the Turks. In Angeal and Genesis's home town, Banora Village, Zack and Tseng find a grave and Tseng stays to investigate. Zack heads into the village and finds only one person, Angeal's mother, Gillian Hewley. She asks him where Angeal is but Zack says he doesn't know. Zack heads outside and finds a alternate path that leads to a factory. Inside, Genesis appears and taunts Zack and injures Tseng. Angeal arrives and defends Zack, but soon pushes him away. Tseng soon reveals that due to the high number of hostiles,several planes are going to bomb banora. Zack races to save Gillian but finds her dead on the floor, Angeal standing above her. Thinking Angeal did it, Zack punches him and questions his honor. Genesis arrives and trips Zack,letting Angeal go. Genesis summons Bahamut,which Zack defeats. Zack soon questions Genesis about his honor to which Genesis reply's that he has no honor. Sprouting a black angel wing, Genesis flies off. As Zack heads towards a Shinra Helicon with Tseng in it,he watches the bombing of Banora and gets on the Helicopter.
He was so unsatisfied that he became 1st class SOLIDER so early, after the many losses he seen. At that moment, Genesis's army attacks Midgar, and Zack has to fight them throughout the city. Along the way, he saves Cissnei, another member of the Turks. Sephiroth and Zack both head to the Sector 5 Reactor to find the rogue Dr. Hollander, who is suspected of working with Genesis. Zack chases Hollander through the Reactor until he runs into Angeal, who says that his goals are world domination and revenge. Sprouting wings, Angeal tells Zack that he is a monster. Zack replys that he is not a monster because he has angel wings, and Angeal questions him on his answer. Not satisfied with his response, Angeal attacks Zack and knocks him back. Refusing to fight his old friend and mentor, Zack refuses to defend himself from Angeal's attack. Angeal then uses magic to knock the platform beneath him away, causing him to fall.
Falling into a run-down church, he met a girl named Aerith when he fell on her flowerbed. Grateful for her 'saving his life' he offered a date. Sadly, their date was cut short when Zack was called to return to the Midgar Plate to battle Genesis. While on route, Angeal lands and explains that he and Zack must work together. Zack agrees and the two fly off to the Shinra building. Sephiroth explains that Hollander is most likely after Hojo due to Hojo taking over his job. Zack arrives and Genesis does as well as Angeal. Genesis flys out and Angeal grabs Zack and puts him down so that he can face Bahamut Fury while Angeal deals with Genesis. After the battle, Zack sees Angeal and Genesis gone and once again asks himself where he is.
Zack was sent to a snowy town, accompanied by several infantrymen; one of them Cloud. The Zack hit it off with the meek solider before reaching a mako evacuation facility. Inside, Zack finds Genesis arguing with Dr. Hollander. One battle later, he finds that Genesis was degrading, and then let himself fall.
Inside a ruined bath house, Zack finds Hollander and Angeal. He learns here that Angeal's biological father is actually Hollander, who used the late Gillian Hewley as a test subject for Project G. It is also revealed that Angeal did not kill his mother, but that she killed herself. Although Hollander refers to him as the perfect soldier, Angeal refuses this title and, accepting the monstrosities of Project G, renames himself as the "perfect monster". He then fuses with several Angeal copy monsters and becomes Angeal Penance. Zack was forced to kill him, but with the last of his strength, Angeal hands him the Buster Sword.
Zack was sent to relax, until it was ruined by Genesus Copies. Discovering that Hollander was escaping, Zack was sent to Junon to stop him. But even with Sephiroth there, Hollander escaped with the help of the Genesis Copies.
Midgar had also been in danger at the same time. Hordes of monsters had appeared, escaped (or perhaps set free, according to Kunsel) from Hojo's lab. One monster in particular, though, had gone to Aerith's church. A single Angeal copy that was protecting Aerith from the monsters and Shinra's confused machines until Zack arrived. Although never fully stated, it is believed that this single copy is all that is left of Angeal's will on the Planet, and is perhaps being controlled by Angeal from the Lifestream.
Before Zack leaves on his next mission, he and Aerith build a wagon so that she can sell flowers throughout Midgar. Zack has to stop selling early, though, as he is called away for another mission. Trusting Tseng to look after her, he, Sephiroth, Cloud, and two other Shinra troops head to Nibelheim, Cloud's hometown.
There, the problem in its Mako Reactor was easily fixed, but what they found wasn't easily taken lightly. Inside the Reactor are pods filled with horrible monsters that had been infused with massive amounts of Mako. They also find a creature named Jenova, who Sephiroth was told was his mother. This, along with words from Genesis, sends Sephiroth over the edge. He hides himself in the basement of the Shinra Mansion reading over files upon files of the Jenova Project. When Zack tries to look for Sephiroth, and finds him, Sephiroth says that he wants to be left alone.
After weeks of him left for solitude, Sephorith burned down the town. Most of the people slaughtered, and, inside the reactor, Tifa was seriously injured. Sephiroth stands outside of his mother's tube, and does not even notice Zack enter. The two battle, and Zack, being a 1st-Class SOLDIER, manages to hold his own against Sephiroth for a time before he himself is defeated. Finally, Cloud, furious over the death of his mother and seeing Tifa gravely wounded, takes up the Buster Sword and defeats Sephiroth. Sephiroth falls into the Lifestream, where he will disappear for four years. Tifa is saved by Zangan, but Cloud and Zack are both taken by Shinra forces to be used in Professor Hojo's newest experiment.
Four years later, both he and Cloud were experimented in the labs Shinra Mansion, but Zack managed to break free and carried Cloud away. Because of Hojo's experiments, both have become Sephiroth Clones, but Zack is completely unaffected by the experiment thanks to having been in SOLDIER. Cloud is completely comatose from Mako Addiction, but Zack can still fight. He cuts their way out of Nibelheim, which had been rebuilt by Shinra to hide the Incident that occurred four years earlier.
Since they were hunted by Shinra forces, Zack decided to go back to his home town, Gongaga. But there, he ran into Genesis, now with a degrading Genesis copy that was once Hollander. Hollander and Genesis try to take Cloud for his pure Sephiroth Cells, because Zack is worthless thanks to being a former member of SOLDIER. Instead, Lazard—in the form of a degrading Angeal, thanks to unknowingly obtaining his cells— and Zack fights the two. Zack finally kills Hollander once and for all.
Zack defeating Genesis.
It is at this point that Zack finally realizes that Genesis has been working from Banora the whole time, the Banora "Dumb Apples" that Genesis always carried being the clue. Zack travels there, and leaves Cloud under Lazard's protection. Zack travels down into Genesis's cave until he comes upon Genesis who uses the power of the Lifestream, but still is defeated. Zack takes his old enemy up to the surface.
Together with a comatose Cloud, a beaten Genesis, and a dead Lazard, he eats a Dumb Apple. The final Angeal copy that had protected Aerith shows up here as well, and as he finally dies from degradation, Zack finds the 89th and final letter from Aerith that it had been carrying and realizes that he had been asleep for four years. Desperate to return before Aerith forgets him, Zack leaves a now pacified Genesis behind while he and Cloud go off to Midgar.
But a massive army of Shinra troops await them. Zack hid Cloud away, hoping for him to run far, while he held off and fought all the troops alone. By the time Cloud reached to him, Zack was left for dead. Much like Angeal, Zack used his strength to hand him the Buster Sword. He tells Cloud to carry on his dreams, and be his "living legacy."
The last Zack saw was an angel coming down. Angeal descending from the sky, two white wings outstretched, finally an angel. Zack says that he wants Angeal's wings too and takes Angeal's outstretched hand, proceeding thus into the Lifestream.
