T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... Zachary Zatara grew up a distant relative of the Zatara family. His parents insisted that magic was nothing but dangerous nonsense that had ruined their family once already. They cut ties with the magical side of the lineage, refused to speak Giovanni Zatara’s name in the house, and raised Zach to believe in practicality, stability, and staying out of trouble. Zach did none of those things. As a child, he treasured the few memories he had of his great-uncle Giovanni performing sleight-of-hand tricks at family gatherings, simple illusions that dazzled him more than anything else in his life. Giovanni was everything his parents weren’t: bold, charming, theatrical, larger than life. Zach never forgot it. He built a YouTube channel out of thrift-store props, a cheap ring light, and more confidence than sense. Over time his high-energy stage magic, dramatic flair, and signature gimmick, performing “spells” backwards in tribute to Giovanni, earned him a massive following. He became the internet’s favorite self-styled sorcerer, even if his magic was all smoke and mirrors. Everything changed during a livestream. Nervous, excited, and desperate to pull off a new trick, Zach fumbled. The chat teased him. His heart spiked. And in frustration he snapped one of his usual reversed phrases. This time with real emotion behind it. Before he understood what was happening, the card in his hand froze mid-air. The lights flickered. The air warped around him. A spark shot out from his fingertips. Something inside him finally woke up. Millions of viewers assumed it was CGI. Zach knew better. In a single night, everything changed. Not just because he got a ton of new followers after that. Zach didn’t know what this meant for his channel, his life, but he had real magic now, and he had no idea how to control it. Which meant his world was about to get a whole lot stranger. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) Zach Zatara has so much potential, but canon DC does nothing with him. In most canon appearances, Zach is treated as little more than Zatanna’s bratty cousin. I’m here to correct that. I want to give Zach the arc he deserves. My main goal is to give Zach the coming-of-age arc he never received. A boy who spent his life pretending to be a magician suddenly forced to become one for real. He is not ready for the magical disasters he’ll get thrown into. I want him to learn to take magic seriously. I want him to meet his cousin properly at some point and learn about his magical legacy, and be a recurring character in her story sometimes. Eventually, he’ll join the Teen Titans, to learn teamwork, and discipline. Over time, become a hero in his own right. |

Yeah, it wasn't Azure's intention to attack anyone or knock fan fiction. Text can be misinterpreted. He just meant that he expected things to be more collaborative when he first watched the thread.

Did think it was weird that you decided to snipe at other people in your introduction, though. Didn't really appreciate it as it was entirely unnecessary and unfriendly.
