## Personality

Before his powers and descent into villainy, Zach was an average kid. He did, relatively, okay in school but never challenged himself. He was content with relying on his goods looks, charm and money to coast through life.

After becoming a criminal, his personality shifted considerably. He didn't want things handed to him anymore, he wanted to take them himself. Because of his age and background, he felt the needs to compensate. He was needlessly crass and aggressive and plunged headfirst into his new lifestyle. He’s was kind of person to do something just to send a message or to prove that he’s the one on top. He’s was impulsive and impetuous and rarely thought of the consequences his actions would have on himself or others.

After The Time Skip, and joining the Peacekeepers, he mellowed out considerably though still retains his impulsiveness and lack of forethought.

### Relationships

#### The Outcasts

Left the group because he was uncomfortable with the level of villainy they were descending to. He left on good terms but did not contact the group again.

Within the group, he was considered to be the most overtly powerful and there was a noticeable drop in the team's ability to win straightforward engagement after he left.

## Appearance

Zach dresses trashes with a clear punk aesthetic. He has a number of facial, chest and arm tattoos, including long purple strip over his right eye and a pair of sleeves. His hair is bleached blonde and dyed bright colors, such as pink or blue. His hair is cut short in a fauxhawk.

In costume, Zach wear's a multipiece, angular dark blue body suit composed of hard plastic and metal. The costume is lined with neon blue EL wire that traces his arms, fingers and shoulder before meeting above his waist. He wears a helmet that covers his entire head, the material integrated into the armor. the armor is molded to his body and has gray plates that define his muscles.

#### With the Outcasts

While with the Outcasts, Zach wore a loose black coat a size too big. Underneath, he wore a skintight suit with thin armor over his joints and vitals. Strapped over his face was a plain blakc mask, the eyes X-d out with neon blue EL wire with a smile made from the same material.

## Abilities and Powers

Zach is able to generate small, gold ball sized pinpricks of intense gravity. These gravity wells extend roughly thirty feet in radius and he is unable to control the size or intensity of the gravity, though can control its duration. Those caught in the gravity are immediately pulled to its center. The intensity is considerable, capable of snapping necks or breaking bones if used on unsuspecting targets. The gravity was strong enough that even his teammate and similarly strong parahumans struggled to move under its effects.

His range was considerable, limited only by his line of sight or awareness of a location. He struggled to accurately use his power when his vision was obscured. There is no limit to the number of wells he can have at any given time and they last a considerable amount of time, long enough that he rarely had to worry about reapplying their effect mid encounter. He is limit in speed only by his own ability to aim and think.

He is completely immune to his own powers.
