Zachary

Zachary is an antagonist in North Park and 6th grade student at North Park elementary.

## Background

A local 6th grade bully and de facto leader of the 6th graders, Zachary acts as a formidable foe for the younger students of North Park Elementary. While he gets good grades and is generally seen as a well behaved star student by the teachers and adults in his life, Zachary draws a sick sense of enjoyment as a thug tormenting kids from younger grades. Despite his frequent bullying he manages to get away with it from a combination of his good reputation, multiple 6th grade friends who vouch for him, and the fact he's the mayor's son.

## Appearance

Zachary is a mean looking bastard, with a large build for his age. He has messy, white hair and wears a black and purple athletic set over a white undershirt, and a purple cap. He often carries his trusty baseball bat.

## Personality

Zachary has an arrogant, overconfident personality that borders on psychopathy with how he treats the younger grades. To him, it isn't enough to just boss them around. He wants them to feel weak and helpless, to dash their hope away. Zachary is known to use dishonorable and dirty tactics to enforce this on others, such as collective punishment when anyone acts out against him. Not much is known as to why Zachary is this way, and if it is some kind of mental illness, or if some people are just plain bad to their core.

While this true side of Zachary is seen frequently by the younger students he crosses, he is incredibly good at hiding this aspect of him when interacting with adults and his fellow 6th graders, coming across as a good mannered and friendly guy who is fun to be around. This helps him keep up his façade as a great guy to remove suspicion for his own cruel bullying.

## Family

#### Chuck

Zachary's father is Chuck, the mayor of North Park. Zachary does not have a lot in common with his father, being tall and athletic. He keeps up his good grades and does well in sports so Chuck regularly expresses his pride in his son, and dismisses any accusations of him being a bully, because if that were true it would disgrace him as mayor. Zachary himself doesn't care much for his father's personality but will keep up appearances to keep him happy, as his father in a position of power helps Zachary get away with what he does.

## Relationships

#### Jerry

Zachary regularly butts heads with Jerry, as one of the 4th graders more likely to stand up to him. Zachary notices Jerry's pessimism towards everything and likes to exploit that by hurting the people he does actually care about to emotionally provoke him and put him off his guard.

#### Nancy

Nancy is the 4th grader who is most dedicated to proving to the adults that Zachary is a bully, often trying to find evidence against him and considering Zachary a nemesis of hers. Zachary sees her as a pathetic attention seeker, and takes joy in belittling her self esteem whenever she tries acting confident against him. Nancy is one of the few 4th graders Zachary doesn't seem to ever physically hurt, why exactly is currently unknown.

#### Lydia

Zachary respects that Lydia is willing to push around those weaker than her like he is, but is disappointed she doesn't go the whole way. He isn't above using physical violence to whenever she stands up to him and may try to egg her on to break her own personal moral codes. Lydia hates how Zachary exploits the establishment to his own benefit, as she is strongly anti establishment.
