Main Information Name: “Just call me studly-man… Laaaaadies.” Zachary Brynmor Masters. Nickname: “Stud-Muffin, Beast, Sexy Bitch, The Zach-a-tron… pick your poison.” Zach, Zachy, Zachy-boy. Gender: “I’m a man… duh.” Male. Age: “Shh… just because I’m young doesn’t mean I don’t have experience… Laaaaadies.” 18 Birthday: February 29th – a leap year which in literal terms makes him quite young. Year: 9th. Blood: Half-blood. Wand: His wand is made of red-oak, a sturdy, if somewhat short, wand that never leaves his side – he swears that he would die without it. Within the wand lies a dragon’s scale which amuses his father to no end for he believes that it should signify bravery which, in his eyes, his son has little of. Yet Zach is under a different belief that perhaps is means that he is going to be a cunning business leader for dragons are well known for their wit and stride. Previous School: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Major’s: Business Management and International Studies; 6 Years. Physical Description: Height: 5’8. Weight: 154 pounds. He’s a scrawny little thing. Hair: At the moment it’s bright red, though he’s a natural blonde. However he feels that, as he is always over looked, he has to draw attention to himself and has had red hair for about three years now. Truth is, doesn’t look so hot on him but it would take a miracle worker to convince him of that little tidbit. Eyes: He actually has nice eyes, a beautiful shade of green spackled with light hazel. It’s probably his best feature and, being a huge World of the Warcraft dude he believes himself to be a magical creature with dormant powers. Accent: A lovely Welsh accent like his big brothers but rather ruined by the higher pitch and quick pace at which he speaks. Ethnicity: Caucasian – Welsh. Other: Although Zach is in college at a young age that does not mean that he has wholly abandoned all of his adolescent style and it shows desperately in his clothing and style. He has two pairs of shoes, a standard pair of blue and white Converse and a nice dressy pair that his mother coerced him into bringing to go with his only suit. Against her knowledge, however he often simply pairs the chucks with the suit when needed, though she has, on many occasions summoned them personally and forced him to change into them. Using a wand to clean his clothing and shoes Zach also has a nasty habit of not wearing socks with his shoes, not liking the mere restraint of laces, and unwilling to constrict his feet even further with wooly undergarments. He has been nicknamed as “Frodo” on more then one occasion because of the size of his feet, particularly in comparison to the rest of his body and he takes it lightly, often coming back to the remark of, “You know what the size of your feet relate to right?” to everyone’s rolling of eyes. When it comes to shirts Zach’s favorite shirt is an old Nintendo 64 shirt with a Goomba on it, a tan t-shirt that fits snugly about his chest and rides right along the line of his jeans. Though he has little fashion diplomacy he doesn’t look bad in half of his shirts, even if their meanings are often little more then joking or nerdy, one of his other favorites a dark gray t-shirt with white block lettering with the phrase: CEO in Training written across the front – a gift from his older brother Jared when he turned fourteen. Beyond t-shirts he has a couple of comfortably worn hoodies and a few specific over shirts, probably the only quality that saves him from total fashion annihilation. His most worn over shirt is a black and white pinstriped one that he often wears over his t-shirts or on his many, many dates. Oh wait… he doesn’t have any of those. Zach is standard teenage boy when it comes to wearing dark jeans and the like, often held up with his Super Mario belt buckle and, during the summer, cut off so that they become make-shift shorts. Most of them have patches on their butts, or marker messages drawn into the bottom of the pants. Yes ladies, he is a boxer man and even those are usually themed to his favorite video game, or his classic Bowser boxers from his mother on a Christmas day past. His pajamas are black with dark gray lining and he usually sleeps completely covered up due to an unnecessary amount of chills that tend to attack him. His favorite jacket is a tweed that he often pairs with a golfer’s hat, earning him the title of “old man” on more then one occasion and yes, he enjoys playing golf. He also owns a cashmere ankle length coat that looks quite ‘dashing’ about his shoulders, most likely his most expensive possession to date. Without telling his parents he had taken a chunk out of his Elysion money for about three years, a mathematical wizard, and finally a couple days before coming to the University, purchasing what would soon be his coat for many a year. Jewelry wise he actually does wear a necklace; a hemp thing with glass beads of multiple colors that he made in camp at a significantly young age. He wears it daily and no one has yet to see him remove it. Psychological Personality: Zachary is particularly OCD about his life. Everything has to be how he wants it and in it’s nice little spots or he’ll get a nervous tick in his left eye and start panicking and breaking out into cold sweats. Because of this he gets extremely agitated when people mess with his stuff or question his academic prowess because he sees it as threatening because that is all he has. When under pressure he does tend to snap and speak at an even faster pace, often fluttering about a great deal with his hands, and growing increasingly nerve-wracked. When in class, subconsciously, he’ll often shake his leg up and down, bouncing on the ball of his foot and has been nettled with paper balls for all the years of his school career from the “thump-thumping” though he is conveniently ignorant to it. Beyond that particularly stressful point Zach is a pretty chilled guy, preferring to waste his time playing video games then studying, though with his ability studying is a fairly nil concept. He is always ready with a joke on his lips and a jostling of the elbow to try to make people feel better and, at his heart; he is truly considerate of other’s feelings – if somewhat oblivious. Ever since he was little he was judged by his father against his brother Jared and this has created something of a complex in his head, making him feel consistently inferior, even though he is academically the brain-child of the family. To make up for this self-doubt he has a showy way of acting, making a big deal of himself through big talk, though seldom following it up with consistent action. This comes through best when he deals with women, often hitting on those wholly out of his league, and expecting their love and gratitude for his presence at the drop of a hat. Because he feels in such close competition with Jared he has compensated by placing himself at a mental level above all of his peers. He has a nasty habit of being completely condescending to those around him and, very often, picking the wrong people to be condescending towards, i.e., people who could beat his ass to a bleeding pulp. When he was a kid he was often bullied for being such a show-off but it didn’t shake the trait from his shoulders and to this day he’ll mouth off to just about anyone about anything and anywhere. More often then not, he is joking around with them but some do not see it this way and he can make fast enemies by being, as they call it, an annoying bugger. Once he is your friend he can get a bit clingy, enjoying other’s company as much as he does and if he gets hurt he’ll instantly throw up a nonchalant wall of, “Whatever, I don’t even care,” and then going off to nurse his wounds in the corner. He does not take rejection well due to his father’s constant rejection and often reacts brashly, burning bridges that might have been repairable. Throwing all that aside Zachary truly is a good guy and will always stand up for his friends, particularly when they need him most. He is a total sweetheart with the girls that he calls friends, often bringing them ice-cream and bitching with them about boys in his pajamas, more often then not invited to their sleepovers. For him he has become almost to a-sexual in women’s eyes however and thus it is almost irrational that he ever get a date, in fact, to this day still a date-virgin though he has kissed a girl in a rousing game of truth or dare. It is to this day one of his proudest moments. Though most know that this is his situation he often talks a much bigger game, bragging about his many “women” to all who will listen, most of them laughing along with him though he has been known to reap unwanted pity from said friends. Sometimes he’s just blatantly oblivious though. And sometimes he’s just a cunning viper. Because he is so education based he has always been one of the more intelligent in his class, often making top hit, and it is a scary thing to come up against him in any sort of debate style format. He is exceedingly good at repartee and will use it to his advantage no matter the cost if he thinks it will help him win, especially when it comes to class elections; he was Head boy his sixth and seventh year of Hogwarts, obviously. History: When the Master clan was blessed with their second son the chances of him being a squib seemed fairly high from the get-go. He displayed little to no magical ability from day one, suffering the same illnesses and weakness that most young toddlers go through, unlike his bouncing siblings. He tended to be a very colicky child growing up and his father did share some fears that he would not be gifted with any magical talents and, indeed, it was not until he started school in which they began to have their hopes renewed. Where most children had not yet developed the skills of memory to recall small facts, insignificant details and the like Zachary would have everything down pat, as if they were all linking and corresponding in his brain – almost like a giant networking system. After people started to notice more and more frequent examples of this memory they began to do minor tests, showing him a variety of patterns, and then having him repeat them, all of which he was more then capable of doing. As he grew up and hit the middle school years it was found that, though while beyond all of his fellow students, Zachary was most proficient at mathematical techniques and analytical thinking. He could recite the pi chart for as long as anyone would be bothered to listen, was moving through grades of math at a semi-ridiculous rate, and by the time he hit Hogwarts and was taking extra-curricular mathematical studies was doing senior Calculus. In being so focused on his studies growing up he did not often have a lot of time for friends, sports or anything that pushed him further then his own house. Around this time was when he first picked up a game boy and ever since then has refused to put one down, becoming fully engulfed in the technological world of muggle gaming, his friends the nerdy geeks that also enjoyed much of the same. Placed in Ravenclaw at Hogwarts Zach finally found people that appreciated his skills, calling him an excelled student instead of a freak and it was here that he found what he would long refer to afterwards as the love of his life. Her name was Amanda Calare and for four years he was her slave. Though she never saw him as more then a friend he carried her books everywhere for her, did her homework, worshiped the ground she walked upon – all while she dated the most popular of boys, a Gryffindor that, at least to Zachary, never treated her right. Pushing through his years at a quicker clip then those around him he finally told her how he felt the night before he graduated, pulling her aside to tell her in hushed tones that she was supposed to marry him and he to marry her. Needless to say it didn’t work and, while she did not judge him harshly, nor did their relationship end up badly, he went away a tad resentful. While some kids might have thought about fleeing off and going vacationing for some time off Zachary merely wanted to get into a University and thus, following in his older brother and sister’s footsteps, did he decide to attend Elysion in Business Management. His father, always shamed by his son’s wanton attitude about the military services, was less then pleased about this arrangement and, in one final blow up before he left, they stopped talking to each other all together and have not communicated since. Now Zachary attends Elysion University and hopes to become a filthy rich man for some spectacular invention with women draped all about his body. Family: Zachary's parents are William and Evelyn Masters living in Wales – he gets along fairly well with his mother (who thinks he’s quite the special boy) but doesn’t get along with his military enhanced father who sees him (and tells him quite frequently) as a failure. He has quite a few siblings and is the second to youngest –there’s Jared (27), Mary (24), Elizabeth (21) and Clara (16). He is particularly close to Elizabeth and often antagonizes her by referring to her as his “little sister” when in fact she is quite a bit older then him and looks up to his older brother Jared though he won’t often show it through anything more then taunts and jokes. He is also a bit jealous of Jared simply because he has always been the “favored” son by his father and the entire family knows it but, while this has somewhat tainted their relationship, he tries not to let it show. Miscellaneous Pet: Zachary has a pet rock. His name is Zyphoid and it is, as he says, quite the rad pet. It lives in a hermit crab tank on his bedside and has a little diver friend named Petey and if he’s lucky he’ll wish it goodnight before bed. He pets it and washes it twice a week. Zyphoid has a life expectancy of about twenty-four years and is sadly already six and though Zachary swears that he’ll never get a new pet rock Zyphoid has his suspicions. Knowledge/Talents: Beyond his accelerated learning capabilities Zachary is exceptionally good at computers and the technology involved on the muggle front. He has taken a good amount of classes in muggle studies and is nifty as all heck at computers, creating his own adaptation using a mixture of magic and muggle resources which he is still refining, claiming to everyone else’s disbelief that it will one day make him ridiculously rich. Zachary can draw specific things easily such as blue prints, layouts and other analytically driven projects. The lines simply pour out from his mind onto the graph paper though he is horrible at anything with curves, such as portraits or landscapes. Special Ability: Eidetic Memory: Eidetic memory, photographic memory, or total recall is the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with extreme accuracy and in seemingly abundant volume. The word eidetic means related to extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images, and comes from the Greek word åßäïò (eidos), which means "form." Eidetic memory can have a very different meaning for memory experts who use the picture elicitation method to detect it. Eidetic memory as observed in children is typified by the ability of an individual to study an image for approximately 30 seconds, and maintain a nearly perfect photographic memory of that image for a short time once it has been removed--indeed such eidetikers claim to "see" the image on the blank canvas as vividly and in as perfect detail as if it were still there. While many people demonstrate extraordinary memory abilities, it is unlikely that true eidetic memory, if it exists at all, is found in adults. While many famous artists and composers (Claude Monet and Mozart) are commonly thought to have had eidetic memory, it is possible that their memories simply became highly trained in their respective fields of art, as they each devoted large portions of their waking hours towards the improvement of their abilities. Such a focus on their individual arts most likely improved the relevant parts of their memory, which may account for their surprising abilities. *wikipedia However for Zachary, and what perhaps makes it a special ability in the wizarding world, is that he’ll continue to keep it as an adult. As he can recall everything in such perfection he is ridiculously excelled at school and other academic pursuits and really only needs to see something or hear it explained once or twice to have it imbedded in his head for the rest of his life. As he has so much loose information floating about in his brain he is very good at compartmentalizing his life into boxes in his brain and can do so to such a high point that he can completely forget about an event if he puts it away and doesn’t “look” at it until needed. Notes: Zach hates spiders. Not just hates but fears with an unholy reverence. He always lets them have their space and was once seen leaping Scooby-do fashion into the arms of a fellow female in order to avoid one scuttling across the floor. |
