CONCEPT
TRAITS
APPEARANCE
Zach is what one would call a laid-back individual. Hardly anything fazes him, and he is not one to make a fuss unless he is very irritated. Which is not often. His personality might be described as breezy, with his boyish charm and a bright smile. Tending to get along with most people he meets, Zach is not easily offended, and possesses a light humour. Always up for an adventure, he has a tendency to leap before he looks, not usually one for consequence. Fiercely loyal to those he holds dear, Zach has a big heart underneath the roguish exterior.
Since losing his Strider in 516 a.v., Zach’s bright personality has dulled somewhat. He spent a long time in a deep depressive mindset that he refers to as his grey state. Since leaving Endrykas some of the spark has started to return, and he is making an effort to be his friendly, former self, though he is occasionally still caught up in his own world of loss.
Lhavit, and the people he has come to know in the city, have bought Zach almost back into his former self. His personality is bright once more, but he now has a little extra thoughtfulness about him. He is not what you would deem introspective, but there is definitely more of an emotional depth to the Drykas nowadays than there was before.

TRAITS
+ Loyal: Looking out for those he holds close, Zach is extremely devoted to anyone in his inner circle. He is someone they can depend on and he will always make time for his friends.
+ Laid-Back: Zach is pretty easy-going when it comes to most things in life. He rarely makes a fuss, tending not to even be bothered by negative outcomes, unless of course they have a dramatic effect on him or those close to him. He is not easily offended and is more than happy to go along with other people’s plans if asked.
+/- Straightforward: Sometimes a good thing, and sometimes a bad thing. Zach says what he means and is always honest about it. He’s not one for sugar-coating his words, so if he sees a mistake he will say so. If he’s upset, he will say so. Equally he will always offer up a genuine compliment and sincere thanks. At least you never have to search for hidden meanings in his words!
- Impulsive: More often than not it works out for the better, but Zach has a habit of leaping before he looks. He tends not to think about things before he does them, however this is something he is constantly trying to work on.
- Facetious: Not intentionally so, and not all the time, however Zach often has trouble when dealing with awkward situations, or with people exhibiting strong feelings (especially upset). His automatic response is to head towards humour to try and uplift the situation, even if it is not the most appropriate thing to do.

APPEARANCE
With dark blonde hair, light blue eyes and a bright smile, Zach is not hard to look at. Light stubble often dusts his jaw and his skin is tan from spending his entire life beneath the sun. He stands at a fairly average height of 5ft 11, and his frame is corded with muscle thanks to wrangling horses and hunting with a bow and arrow.
He dresses simply in fairly plain clothing, favouring un-patterned items for the most part. Usually clad in brown trousers and a green or blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, he’s not particularly pushing the boundaries of fashion. As hunting is his profession, simple and functional is what he needs. He either wears boots, or no shoes at all if he can get away with it. In warmer weather he forgoes a shirt entirely, and when it grows cold he dons a simple tan coat.
Zach keeps his hair much shorter than what one might expect of a typical Drykas. He never did grow it particularly long anyway, but since leaving Endrykas it has been cut shorter yet.
Eyes: During Fall 518 a.v., Zach was given the ability of Pathfinding. As such his blue eyes have a starburst of golden yellow surrounding his pupils, starkly contrasting the blue of the outer irises. When he is not using his ability the yellow is much the same brightness as the blue, but when Pathfinding is active his eyes seem to be 'lit up'.
Windmarks: Zach’s windmarks cover his left shoulder and upper arm. Received when he was 15 after bonding with his first strider, the marks feature bold black lines of various interlocking patterns.
