Name: Zachary Downen
Nickname: Zach, Blond Genius, Pretty-Boy Stooge
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Season: Spring
Element/Powers: None
Human Form Description: Zach stands at an easy 5'10. Though he keeps his hair slightly longer than shoulder length, it's always pulled back neatly unless he's bumming around his apartment. He has the teal eyes and smooth features of one born from German ancestry. He is almost always well dressed in button shirts and slacks. Normally he wears business loafers, though he'll sometimes let cheap footwear slide when flying casual as long as they aren't worn or dingy. Zach seems to adore Argyle sweaters. His face often carries a warm friendly smile and eyes that some how make it known that he is not the stereotypical "dumb blond". People often mistakenly conclude that he is gay based on his hair and easy charm. However, he dresses this way simply because he thinks that the longer hair makes him look all the more noble, like a knight of old. His love of history and opinion that the hair makes him more popular with the ladies also contributes.
Though Zach is usually seen as the goody-goody guy that would rather tell someone else than get into conflicts himself, Zach does still have a bit of German temper left in him. On rare occasions, when pushed beyond his tolerance point, Zach has been known to surprise people with a sudden micro-burst style flare of that temper that proves him quite capable of holding his own or laying someone flat if he wants to. He just normally lets his friend Dave do the head-smashing, preferring to be part of the clean up crew instead of the one putting people in their places.
Personality: Zach is an easy-going guy for the most part. He may be blond, but he is far from dumb. In fact, it was straight A Zach that got his friends through much of high school amidst all of their clowning around.
Zach is especially courteous and charming amidst the ladies, taking a calm and docile approach to dating. He is easily dubbed a lady's man, half of the reason for the length of his hair lying in knowing how much the girls fawn over their historical novel princely heros with long hair, sophistication, and angelic looks. He has spent years cultivating himself into that image, half out of love for the past and renfaires in general, and half to please those that allow him to join them in some bedroom fantasy romance. Somehow, despite all his efforts, that's all his dates ever turn out being. Girls, getting into him, just to have a chance to live out their secret fantasies before growing up and going after someone that they want for real. However, Zach keeps to his method, certain that one day, he will meet a woman who will appreciate him for who he is.
History: Born to an average family, the middle child of three boys, Zach grew up as a happy child. Seeing the plights of his friends Dave and Keito in school taught Zach all the more to appreciate the blessings he was given with his ordinary middle class American family. Unknown to most, Zach did actually go through a few karate courses with his buddies Keito and Dave. he left to pursue other activities when he felt his own needs were met. These days those old skills are usually used to put an end to the famous perpetual squabbles between Dave and Keito.
Zach's good grades throughout grade school earned him a slot at UCLA. To the bliss of his parents, he graduated with a 4.0 Bachelor of Science in History, and now teaches middle school history at a magnet school. Though he has a dating list longer than both his friends, he still hasn't found anyone he truly feels a pull towards.
Additional: This character is usually played in tandem with Keito Yamada and Dave Prather.
