## Personal Life

Zachary is known as ambitious and hard-working by those who know him, although he considers himself to be a procrastinator. He notes always working at atleast two projects at a time and immediately starting new ones after a project has been completed or terminated. Along with this he is always working on building his audience on his YouTube channel *MCFC.* The only thing he values above his work is balancing it with his everyday life. He believes that even though working towards your goals is very important, it's even more important not to neglect other aspects of life. As such he has dedicated small portions of his day to exercising, socializing, learning new skills, and more.

Zach is also well known for being very eccentric in his lifestyle. Often designing his own outfits and wearing outfits inspired by various pop-culture icons. Aside from fashion and exercise, Zachary has many other hobbies as well from roller skating, to ASMR, to coding video games.

### Monetary Struggles

Zach has always struggled with funding for his projects whether it be comedy sketches or manga series. To remedy this Zach started to do art and music commissions as well as open crowd funding, although so far none of these have worked to help with funding issues. Due to this production of his projects are slower and lower quality.

## Biography

### Young Life

Zachary grew up with his mother and father is the Western U.S. always moving from house to house and town to town. Ever since he was a young boy, he always had a knack for making things and drawing art. This natural love for creation likely grew and sparked the creation of Fate's Wish and his other projects. Zach was only in public school until 4th grade (he had skipped 2nd grade) and never made a permanent friend group due to moving. Mid 4th grade he was pulled out to be home schooled. Around this time his parents divorced and left him living with his father while his younger brother lived with his mother. Over the next few years Zach got back with his brother, although they still moved a lot. Moving around all his life, Zach became a social recluse; not really knowing how to make friends. But this also made time for him to work towards his hobbies and skills more. At age 8 Zach was now an avid young marine explorer (though living in the deserts of Nevada limited his marine exploration to online reading) and an arts and crafts addict. It was at this time he created his first story based on the popular video game Skylanders, and ever since then he has expanded on the idea of making comics and manga

Around this time Zach also created his personal YouTube channel MCFC (then called CoolKid3000) where he posted vlogs, gaming let's play videos, and other random things.

### Recent Life

Over the next few years Zachary kept trying to build his internet presence as well as start working on bigger projects such as stop motion animations. It was around this time that the first incarnation of Fate's Wish was born.

Jumping another few years to 2019, Zach started interacting with online communities more often as a way to cope with his unhealthy habit of social reclusion. Eventually he met his first love and girlfriend online while looking for friends. It was then he brought back the idea of Fate's Wish (then titled Project: Wish), an old sketch for his channel that never came to be. He spent weeks in his room reworking it to fit a manga style and eventually came up with the base plot; A young adult who can do anything after wishing on a star. From then to modern day Zachary has worked tirelessly to promote and produce his manga, Fate's Wish.

## Influences

Zach was influenced by many things over the years, and this is reflected by his own style changing. When he was 3 years old the first video game he ever played was Halo: Combat Evolved which influenced his art in that he would always draw monsters and alien creatures. A few years later he discovered the games Endless Ocean and Endless Ocean: Blue World which heavily sparked his love for the ocean; therefore causing him to create paper cut outs of sea animals for his room walls.

His style hadn't shifted to anime and manga yet until he started watching the Beyblade Metal Fusion TV series which introduced him to Japanese cartoons and culture as a whole. He begun watching more anime such as studio Ghibli's Ponyo and attempted to learn Japanese, although he gave up for a while on that.

Years later he was reintroduced to the anime community after games such as Undertale and Doki Doki Literature Club were released, two of Zach's greatest influences for his stories. Other media such as Halo: Reach, Blend S, Fullmetal Alchemist, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure influenced his story writing, art style, and lifestyle. While YouTube channels such as Good Mythical Morning and Markiplier influenced his YouTube channel and videos.
