## Starcluster Datapac

Zachary Copperbolt was always a bit of an introvert; he never really seemed to easily make friends due to the popularity of his older sister. He was also likely to get into fights due to being bullied for his shyness. He felt that if the world were to turn its back on him, he’d turn his back on it in response. He was never a normal kid, but the change from average student to a superhero turned his life around.

He was signed up for the shady Powerchild Project, an experiment that gave children superpowers. He was injected with PC-AT, gifting him with control over lightning and proficient magnetism. With these skills, he was given a pair of gauntlets that would allow him to regulate the power, due to the damage it does to his skin. He was unfazed by his new powers, seeing them as merely an excuse to be even more reserved. He also could use his magnetism to float and gained superhuman strength, speed, and durability. He chose to go under the name Zirconion to keep himself from endangering his family.

He would eventually do battle with Crystallon, thinking he was a rogue Powerchild attempting to scout out a good location to steal crystals from. This clash would not be their last, as the two would fight several times over before Crystallon explained himself to Zirconion as a Crystalian.  The two would put aside their differences and actually become friends, much to Zirconion’s surprise. He would become buddies with Acidinor and Glacon, who all pushed each other’s powers to become stronger. With Zirconion’s magnetism, he eventually learned how to form constructs using loose metal and magnetize metal components from around the world. He does put limits on his powers to make sure he doesn’t inflict harm on innocents.

## Background

### Early life

Zachary Copperbolt seemed to always have an intimidating and stoic look to him, but he was friendly toward those he met and talked to... however, very few people would talk to him because they were simply scared of him. In truth, he was just introverted and only talked to those willing to talk to him.

When the *Powerchild Initiative* was brought about, Zack was one of those who was qualified for it. He was injected with Serum PC-AT, which caused him to manifest the power of electricity manipulation and minor magnetism.

### *Crystallon the Gemstone Warrior*

Zack would regulate his electrical power, and he adopted the name "Zirconion" as he took to the streets. He would end up finding Crystallon, a fellow who he seemed to think was causing mayhem, and battle him, only to lose.

The loss didn't stop him, and he went back to Minera Elementary, where he met the other two Powerchild subjects; Acidinor and Glacon. With his new friends, the Renegade Trio was formed.

### *Crystallon and the Search for Souls*

After the Resistance Trio set off to put a stop to the Crescent Guard, Zirconion decided to help the other two fend off the Guard, even finding other test subjects of the *Powerchild Initiative* to help them train their abilities.

With enough Powerchild test subjects by the trio's side, Zirconion would lead an assault on the attacking Crescent Guard.

### *Sketch Arena Tournament*

Zirconion was invited to the tournament alongside Acdinor and Glacon when they showed up to see AnthonyM handing invites to Crystallon and his friends.

### *AnthonyM and the Multiverse: Crossing Rifts*

Ziroconion and the rest of the trio join after the Mineralian heroes beat them out of the corrupting spell again. With the return of Crescent Guard soldiers, he immediately readies for a fight!

## Personality

Zirconion tends to be intimidating at first sight, due to his stoic expression and harsh tone of voice. Despite this, he is quite friendly when warmed up to. He's quite introverted, only truly connecting with his closest friends. He does understand Acidinor has feelings for him, but doesn't feel sure that he feels the same of her.

In battle, he strikes with lightning-fast ferocity and can plan on the fly thanks to his quick mind. However, he may easily get distracted by setting his sights on any one particular enemy should they rub him the wrong way. Usually he has to have Acidinor or Glacon shake him off of his fixated frenzies.

## Relationships

### Acidinor

Zirconion feels that Acidinor and him get along really well. He's unsure if he truly has feelings for her the same way she does for him, but he notices her advances.

### Glacon

Zirconion and Glacon have been great friends even before the Powerchild Project changed them. The two have always pushed each other to become better as time went on.

### Crystallon

Zirconion is still surprised he and Crystallon managed to become such great friends. He's just happy he's helping the Crystalian find good homes for pets who need them.

### Dreamkeeper and Miss Techna

Zirconion respects Dreamkeeper and Miss Techna, and hopes to follow their example as time goes on. He's still not sure he can call them friends, though.

### Shadus

Despite not being too "in" on the Twilight Ravens, Zirconion does see Shadus as a potential friend. He just hopes that the Darklander will actually play nice for once.

### Jelly Mak-R

As a fellow introvert, Zirconion sees that Jelly Mak-R is just a wandering soul like himself. The two have bonded over a nice heart-to-heart about their lives.

### Gigavolt

Zirconion sees Gigavolt as a worthy opponent to clash electrically-charged fists with from time to time. He hopes he could have a fair fight against the Taurian that ends with his victory.

### Elettrico

Zirconion is admittedly shy about approaching Elettrico, but he still respects her regardless. He sees her as a role model of sorts.
