Zach is confident and proud of his looks. He has an angular face with a firm jawline, and defined features. He has been told he’s handsome a number of times, and if we’re being honest, he actually believes his own hype. He stands at six feet tall, and has a fit build, but not overly muscular. He also has dark hair, and blue eyes. He has a perfectly white smile on his face when performing.

More often than not, Zach wears his magicians suit. It’s his stage costume, and his superhero costume. It is basically a fitted tuxedo. The suit consists of a black tailcoat with a white dress shirt, purple cummerbund, and a purple bow tie. He wears black slacks held up by a belt, and black dress shoes on the bottom. His hands are covered by white gloves. His most prominent accessory is his black top hat with a purple band around it.

On the occasions when he’s not in his magicians costume, he dresses casually. T-shirts, Tank Tops, Sneakers, and Jeans as his casual wear.[/INDENT][/color]

[color=darkviolet][B]| PERSONALITY |[/B][/color] 

[color=darkgray][INDENT]On the surface, Zach comes off as open and friendly. He can be charming and charasmatic when he wants to be. He has a way with people and a knack for only letting them see what he wants them to see. Since discovering his magic, Zach has become something of a party animal. He likes to shop, flirt, club, and generally tries not to stress too much about anything. It can make him seem lazy or uncaring. He also enjoys the luxurious lifestyle that being a celebrity brings.

Zach is fan of flashy magics. Even his most simple incantation is laced with a sparkle or two. He likes drawing attention to himself for better or for worse. He enjoys the fame and attention being a celebrity brings, and likes to show off for his fans. He likes to flaunt his abilities, and is very confident in himself. Or at least he acts like it anyway. He can come off like an arrogant jerk because of it.

Underneath all that bravado and overcompensation, there are some insecurity issues he has yet to deal with. He also knows he has big shoes to fill living up to his cousin’s legacy. He often has moments of self-doubt and a fear of failure. He feels stuck in the shadow of his famous cousin. Still, when Zach’s on, he's on. It’s all a part of the show. In his best moments, there's almost nothing he believes he can't do, no odds he thinks he doesn't have a shot at beating.[/INDENT][/color]

[color=darkviolet][B]|  BIO  |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][color=darkgray]Zachary Zatara was born to two kind parents. His uncle, Giovanni "John" Zatara, and his daughter Zatanna, had great fame as stage magicians and real magicians on their own. This however was not the case for Zachary’s family mostly due to his mother. Zachary's mother, who was a pure Homo Magi, was determined to make sure her family had nothing to do with magic. She wanted a normal life for her family. To ensure this, she placed a charm on Zachary that would seal his powers as a Homo Magi. Of course, Zach always knew his family had magical abilities, but he assumed that he was a rare case since his father was a human.

Stopping Zachary's magic could not stop him from being different than other children though. He not only buried himself books most kids his age would be too young to understand, but also had a keen interest in learning about magic and stage. He grew distant from others, and spent his time pursuing his interests. He found most of school boring. As a result, he never really had any friends.

After various strange visions and study sessions, Zachary learned that something might be stopping him from reaching his true potential. So, he decided to pay a visit to his uncle at the age of 16. His uncle confirmed this and told him there was a seal made by his mother that was preventing him from being able to use magic.

During said visit, his parents went on a business trip and things didn’t necessarily turn out as planned. Because of some drunken driver, they got in a car accident which killed them instantly. Even with this tragic event a good thing did come out of it. The spell that was placed on Zachary was gone since his mother was dead. (it was sad nonetheless)

Ever since then, Zachary has been spending more time with his uncle and cousin, and also using his abilities to become a hero and a famous stage magician

[color=darkviolet][B]|  ABILITIES / SKILLS / EQUIPMENT  |[/B][/color]
[color=darkgray][INDENT] Zach can cast spells by speaking backwards. What Zach is best at is affecting inanimate objects. For example, he can summon simple objects into existence, and turn one object to another. He can also control elemental magic to some degree. For example being able to shoot purple fireballs or pink lightning out of the tip of his wand. He can also give himself the ability to fly. In fact, that’s the first thing he tried when he discovered he had magic.

Zach can sense the flows of magical energies and can sense spells being cast and the presence of magical beings, spirits, events, and items.

Zach can use blood magic. He can write spells in blood. His own or someone else’s... Besides being gross, this is damaging to his psyche and can attract the attention of corrupting spirits, demons, etc. Do you know how awkward it is to accidentally summon a demon? What's worse, these spells are actually much more powerful than his normal ones, so the temptation is always there, even when there is an alternative.

Stage Magic: Zach has the potential to be a world-class stage magician and can perform impressive feats of misdirection, sleight-of-hand, and escape. These abilities, of course, are not restricted to the stage, which means that he's not easily trapped, bound, or without resources.

Escape Artist: He’s been taught to pick locks, and escape from dangerous situations. He can even hold his breath underwater for long periods of time.

Occult Lore: Zach has built up lot of knowledge on the occult thanks to reading his uncle’s books on the subject.

Zach is a natural-born performer, it runs in the family. He has a talent for acting (including charm, deception, and subterfuge) and he can sing and dance [/INDENT][/color]

[color=darkviolet][B]|  LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES  |[/B][/color]
[color=darkgray][INDENT] To use his magic, Zach has to recite his incantations backwards. He needs focus to do so and if he messes up, is distracted, or is interupted in the middle of a spell something unexpected could happen or nothing at all. If he is unable to speak, he cannot cast his spells.

If Zach uses a lot of bigger spells it can drain his power leaving him unable to use any of his spells. To recover he needs to actual rest for a period of time.

In all honesty, Zach’s only been doing this seriously for two years. In most cases, his command over his abilities is mediocre at best. He still needs training and finds certain things are just out of his reach. This is not a matter of confidence or willpower. He's got that in spades. It's an issue with his inexperience and relatively amateur technique. While he seems especially gifted at affecting the world around him, people are another matter. Any spells cast upon another human being can be tricky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Teleportation is something else he has trouble with. He can go short distances, or at least somewhere he can see/point to with his wand. But travelling far is another matter. He can summon objects to his hand without a problem, but again humans are tricky...[/INDENT][/color]
