Zachary Mathias

"A lot of people ask me, 'how can you be in Varsity when you used to be a scrawny loser?' And I just tell them, because now I'm an All-American."
Zachary is a former Astronomy Club Technoid with a speech impediment and spinal issue. He is now a Nonnie and an aspiring Varsity jock.
== Appearance ==
Zachary is 15 years old. He was diagnosed with scoliosis and a speech impediment which makes him stutter, often making him a target for bullies. However, after speech therapy and a cutting edge back brace, he is relieved of his goofy posture and stutter. He is not overweight nor underweight. He is often a target of bullying due to his impediment. His hair is shaggy. After sustaining a fall from a rooftop and getting his face smashed into a vending machine, he has multiple cuts on his face from the glass and bushes.
== Characteristics ==
Zach is usually pretty kind to people he meets. He's inherently awkward, however. When angry, Zach can go into a blind rage, as he did with his girlfriend's ex boyfriend or when he was getting picked on by Preps. He is intelligent, and excels in mathematics and chemistry. He is very fond of computer games, such as Fallout, and has some technical know-how.
== Background ==
Zach was born in 1993 by a working class family in Wisconsin. His father was a mechanic and owner of a local repair shop in his town, and owned a Windows 93 computer which Zach used often in his childhood, playing computer games and go on Wikipedia, a website he was quite fond of. He also played little league baseball as a pitcher, and can throw well.
His mother was an alcoholic, and wasn't very present in his life. When he turned 8 years old, she died in a car wreck, which he expressed apathy to. After his father's repair shop was robbed and eventually burnt down, they moved to a smaller town in Maine. After an "incident" with his biology teacher, he was sent to Thirlcrest Academy.

Zach helped Brandon Minder Anderson jump Weems, since he was convinced to by Brandon. He was disguised by wearing his prom suit and a balaclava. Kim found out about it since it was the suit he showed her. After they vowed to keep it a secret, Weems found out approximately one day later, on the rooftop of the Science Building while Loretta had gathered up a task force to jump Brandon who had been lured there. Zach snuck away, and returned in his disguise to get Brandon out of there, but was recognized and identified by Wallace.
