## History

### Early Life

Zack was born to Julissa Martinez, a clear sighted mortal and Zephyrus, god of the gentle west wind and spring in Brisbane, Australia on March 19, 2004. Now, Zack's family is very...extraordinary. Basically, Zack's family came from Colombia to Australia, but when his grandmother was living in Colombia, she had triplets, Julissa, Stella and Reno. The family was seemingly blessed by the goddess Hecate to have a magical gift (this is basically my version of The Madrigal Family from Encanto). Julissa was blessed with the power to heal people with her cooking, Stella with Empathetic weather manipulation, and Reno with Precognition. As the years passed, a man named Felix, married Stella and had a daughter. Her being Euphima. By the time Euphima was being born, Julissa met the goddess Cybele and the two had Rosalina, a few months after Euphima. (Oh! Euphima, was blessed with super hearing and Rosa has Chlorokinesis). Three years later, Heracles met Julissa and had Leah.

Another two years go by and Felix and Stella have their second kid, Kamil, who was given the power to shape shift. A mouth later, Zephyrus meets Julissa and the two have Zackary, (By this time, the Martinez Family is living in Brisbane, Australia). Four years go by, and Felix and Stella have their final kid, Santiago, who was given the power to speak to animals. While For a while, things were fine in the family, until the time Zack was nine, when a monster attacked the family. Julissa, decided to take her children to New York, while the rest of the family stayed in Brisbane. Julissa remembered the Camp Cybele had told her about when Isabela was born and decided to take her three children to Camp Olympia. When they got there, the three siblings stayed in the Hermes Cabin. Rosalina was claimed three days later, and Leah was claimed five days later, though Zack wouldn't be claimed until he was fourteen. At that time, Julissa married a mortal man named Florian, who became Rosa's, Leah's and Zack's step-father.

### Early Life at Camp

While in the Hermes cabin, he stuck to his older siblings and never really talked to anyone. While he was happy that his sisters found out their parents, he felt envious that he was the only one in his family with out a "gift" As time when on, he began to believe he would never be claimed. He had meet a girl by the name of Sadie Torres, who he soon developed a crush on, but was in denial for a *long* time

## Personality

ack is a resilient, kind, and hard-working kid, taking care to complete mundane tasks such as helping new campers know their way around camp. He initially appeared to be peaceful, lending a hand to people in need. Despite this, Zack is far from a pacifist, not afraid to shed his peaceful nature and resume his classic chaotic attitude when pressured by the people around him. Zack is a no-nonsense person, wise, and willing to discipline people if they break rules or cause problems. He is easily exasperated at their chaos, and not hesitant to leave people to deal with their consequences if they continue to act up despite his intervention and warning. Also, much like campers such as Aubrey, Eliza, and Emily, Zack is a very fatherly figure to some younger campers. Zack is also very cherry, joyful, and very pleasant and sweet to others and although he won't admit it, he has a crush on Sadie Torres. Zack is an optimistic young boy who, despite his lack of having a magical gift, manages to scrape by with his down-to-earth approach to solving problems. He is known for being imperfect, quirky, and a little weird, but also deeply emotional and empathetic. Despite his happy and loving nature, Zack has insecurities about his place in his family: being the only child not blessed with a gift (at a young age) and being the last of his sisters to be claimed, he feels like an outsider to the family (believing he contributes nothing to his family and community) and thinks he disappointed family, particularly his grandmother who is quite hard on him for not getting claimed as fast as his sisters. Despite this, Zack genuinely loves his family and wishes to receive a gift to make his family proud, as well as benefit his community. He is known to be very brave, spunky, and adventurous, However, at times, Zack is also a very free spirited boy, with a severe case of ADHD, often leaping before he looks, which is why many people have dubbed Sadie his impulse control. He is a wanderer; he always has been, and always will be. His inability to become attached to or stay at one place has kept him alive. He finds the beauty in everything. Even though he cannot draw to save his life, he is an art connoisseur. He has traveled all over, so he has come to have an appreciation for all customs, religions, and people. He enjoys the little things in life, and a variety of them. He is very easy going and doesn't mind change. Despite this, he is very solid in his own beliefs and is unwilling to change those to please other people. His ideas may be... out there... but he has a big heart and an open mind. He has his own insecurities as well. For example, due to the lack of being "unclaimed" meaning his godly parent was unknown, for years, he often compared himself to his friends, who knew their parents and used their powers to help their town. Another one of his insecurities is the fact that he can't fly. Despite having wings he can sprout at will, he hasn't learned to use them yet, having been "grounded" for most of his life, but he has learned to live with this fact, preferring to run or walk everywhere he goes. Over all, Z is an interesting person with an open mind

### Fatal flaw

Much like some of his friends, Zack's fatal flaw is excessive personal loyalty: he would risk the world and even his own life to save his friends and family. He sometimes saves strangers or enemies simply because he empathizes with them

## Appearance

Zack is described by Sadie to be “cute” and he is a boy of Colombian descent, he is said to have messy blonde hair, which is swept in front of his eyes, smooth and lightly tanned skin, and hazel eyes. He normally wears a black, grey sweater or dark green sweater, a white or light blue shirt, jeans, and black shoes.

### Friends

### Family

#### Zephyrus (Father)

Not much is known about the relationship that Zack has with his father, but it is implied that Zack has a good views of his father, though he did hold a minor grudge over him since he didn't claim Zack until he was around when he turned seventeen, when the age for demigods to get claimed is usually thirteen.

#### Julissa (Mother)

Zack is very close to his mother, since Julissa treated him like the rest of the fmaily and loved him very much. The two often write to each other

#### Rosalina (Oldest sister)

Rosa is Zack's oldest sister, born to their mother and the goddess Cybele. When they were younger, they were very close, but later grew apart and Rosa would often insult him for "ruining her life" and for not getting claimed and Zack would often talk about how she was a "perfect, golden child" though this wasn't the case. Over times and after helping Rosa show her true self, the two reconcile with each other and are now closer

#### Leah (Older/middle sister)

Zack and Leah are much more closer. Leah does her best to protect her younger brother and love hanging out with him. Zack was the only one she (Leah) opened up to about being put under these high expectations from her family, being the strongest one. Zack comforts her, telling her it's okay to let go of some of that weight she's carrying and the two have a positive bond.
