Zachery Elstone

== Pre-Foundation History: ==
Zachery Elstone was never an energetic guy, often spending most of his days lounging around and reading. While he was sociable when necessary, he never bothered people and people never bothered him. He wasn’t the brightest, but he had a good head on his shoulders. Something he was exceptionally good at, however, was picking up skills quickly. Whenever he wanted to learn something, he would spend sleepless nights studying and learning, practicing and trying, until he perfected it. Then, he’d simply stop trying, while still retaining those skills. This went on for the majority of his life, until his friends got their hands on a few demon summoning rituals. Zach came alone knowing no better, thinking it would just be an experience that he would see, experience, and brush off as a story to tell at the dinner table. 
The summoning went wrong. Not having read the instructions properly, Zachery’s friend believed that the rules weren’t mandatory. After all, demons don’t exist, right? The rituals were just for shits and giggles. Plus, the first few didn’t work, so this one wouldn’t too. As the demon formed in front of them, the seal wasn’t strong enough, and the creature broke free, slaughtering Zach’s friends with ease leaving only him. Zach begged for his life. The demon pondered, considering killing him right then and there, but decided it had a better idea. It agreed to spare him, on the condition that he give it a vessel. At the time, not knowing what it meant, he agreed. At once the demon possessed him, intending on taking his body for its own. But being the chaotic entity it was, it felt generous. Giving him an upside down ankh charm, it gave him the following instructions. That when he was awake, he would be himself, but when he was asleep he and the demon would switch places. Otherwise, the demon would hover around him like a ghost, never leaving him alone. Not only that, if ever he needed to force a flip, he simply needed to hold onto the charm and think about it hard enough. 
They were lousy instructions, but he didn’t want to try the demon’s patience. After all, this demon slaughtered his friends with ease. 
Zachery was picked up by the foundation a few weeks later, where he agreed to work as a researcher. Since then, the demon has learned how to behave in a more tolerable fashion, especially now in the presence of several beings much stronger than it.
== Profile: ==
Zach can very easily be described as “dead inside”. Having not been able to sleep properly, he has become quite cantankerous, though still good natured. He is always up for a chat, being described as someone who tells you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear. Zach is very blunt in nature, often being remarked as rude. However, it appears he does not intend on being this way on purpose, excusing himself whenever it is pointed out. As intimidating as he may be, he may be one of the more approachable people of the foundation, never turning anyone down if he is ever needed for a conversation. Zach is someone who says “it is what it is” often, never really letting anything keep him down no matter the circumstances. He never judges, just accepting whatever’s happening with ease. Zach often treats EOIs with respect as well, stopping experiments whenever he deems the EOI as agitated or uncomfortable. This could be as small of a sign as a frown or a twitch. The moment he spots something as such, he pauses or calls off the test. Has a horrible case of resting bitch face.
While “flipped”, Zach becomes much more energetic and pale, his hair also inverting in color. His hair changes from its usual white with black streaks to black with white streaks. It appears while his hair is inverted this way, it is the demon that is being interacted with. However, while this way, it appears that he becomes more morally ambiguous, doing whatever it fancies at the moment. While most of the time it behaves well and is good natured, at times it has committed some questionable acts (stealing pens and whatnot). The demon is content with being called Zach.
