Cissnei confirmed that there was nothing on his face, which Zack was glad to hear. She stated that she wasn't sure she would see him again, to which he smiled and threw his arms out. "Here I am! You can't get rid of 1st Class Zack Fair that easily!" He gave her a small wink before continuing on their journey to wherever she was leading them. He had no idea what had gone on outside of his battle with Shinra. He definitely did not know the Turks had been trying to find him before the militia did. He didn't know that he had died in their eyes.
Zack wasn't sure his smile could get any bigger, but at the thought of getting food, it sure tried to. "Awe, thanks Cissnei, you're the best. I'll repay you back as soon as I get money. I apparently don't have any at the moment." He rubbed the back of his head as they approached the building. They stopped outside of it and that was when Cissnei informed him of what was going on.
Whisked away? Well that was definitely one word for it. "Greater forces? Like, aliens?" Leave it to Zack to think of that at a time like this. He looked around as she stated they were no longer in Gaia. "Yeah, that much I picked up on." Even though he hadn't been to many places on Gaia, everywhere he had seen here just didn't have that vibe.
"My question is why? Why are people brought here? Do you have to die in order to get here? I'm pretty sure I would not have survived that attack." All the questions. As they entered the establishment, he looked around. This place had a comfortable aura, but also screamed that bar fights happened a lot. He figured he would have to stay on guard, and was glad he knew Cissnei could handle herself. Of course he would still rescue her if he needed to, but it would take a lot for that to happen.
The smile on Zack's fade was probaby permanently set there at this point in his life, as it was still there even though Cissnei was looking at him weird. Wiping at his face and looking around for a mirror or a fountain with water, he figured there was something there. "What is it? Is there something on my face? Probably dirt from the ground." After he decided that whatever could have been there was gone now, he turned to face her once again.
After he put her down, he let her get oriented again and then noticed she was smiling back at him. Zack had that effect on people, and he knew it. He lived off of it. She questioned him and he shook his head. "Not a clue in the world." It was true, Zack was always one to get himself lost in the smallest of places, mostly due to the sheer fact that his mind did its own thing when he had to walk anywhere. When he was sent on missions, that was a main reason someone else was usually sent with him. That, and it was protocol most of the time.
There it was. The typical Cissnei pose. Most of the times he had seen her, her arms were crossed and she had her weight to one side. Zack decided that was definitely a good sign, it means she hadn't changed! "Can I get food there? I'm starving!" Then again, it was a watering hole so that was probably out of the question. Maybe there was a small place they could swing by and grab something. Oh wait, did he have money?
As he was following her, he started to go for his pockets to look for money as he heard her question. Tilting his head to the side, he stopped and also crossed his arms. "The last thing I remember before waking up on the ground was an entire Shinra militia pointing guns at me. I took most of them out, but the last of them got me pretty good. I was sure I was a goner." Unless she was dead too, this was definitely not the afterlife.
The park that surrounded him was beautiful, at least from what he could see from the ground. Zack couldn't remember the last time he was...lost. Scratch that. He couldn't remember the last time he was lost and alone. He had gotten lost plenty of times, mostly due to his own antics of course, but that was definitely besides the point. Staying true to his nickname, Zack didn't like being alone. It left him alone to his thoughts, and those had a special talent in confusing him a lot of the time. Especially now.
Why had Shinra been after him? What had he done wrong!? He had been NOTHING but loyal to them, and they have the nerve to send a whole frickin' army after him!? If he ever saw them again, he would give them a piece o- was that a palm tree? Zack hadn't seen one of those in, well, never! Jumping up from where he was laying, he wandered, or well ran, over to it. Giving it a 'knock', he make sure to look just in case something decided to fall out of it. That would be his luck right now, to be struck by a coconut to knock him out. Again.
Sighing, he started to walk away from the tree only to hear a strange noise from above him. Thinking he was under attack, he grabbed the Buster Sword and took a defensive stance. That didn't last too long because he found the source of the noise, and he almost dropped his weapon. Was that a flying...train? Ship? Village? It was huge! Setting the Buster Sword back to where it belonged, he blinked several times before running his hand through his hair. Where was he?
It didn't seem like he was too far from a town, as he could see buildings in the distance. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he made his way towards them. As he passed by people, he noticed he was getting some strange looks. He wasn't sure if it was his attire, or the giant sword on his back. Either way, Zack tried to smile at each one of them, definitely not wanting to make enemies right off the bat. As he entered town, he noticed statues that looked really cool. There seemed to be people cleaning up, which he was curious about. As he got a closer look at one of the people he thought she looked kind of like-
No. It couldn't be. There was no way in Gaia that she was here. Well, from what it looked like, there wasn't even a Gaia anymore so what did he know? Deciding that it was best to make a fool out of himself rather than let her get away, he ran over to her and made his way to standing right in front of her. His eyes went huge and he had a smile that was even bigger. "Cissnei! I'm so glad to see you!" As he exclaimed his excitement, he thought it would be best to also show it by hugging her around the arms and spinning her around. After he set her down, he tilted his head to the side. "So, where are we?"
Hey! I'm Megan. I'm a mother to one and step-mother to six. It's crazy here! I currently have 5 cats and 4 hamsters. I bartend at a small bar in Montana, so I'm up at crazy hours. I really haven't played many of the FF games outside of 7, but that game and the Legend of Zelda games have to by my favorites! I'm definitely all for disaster plots and relationships, they are my favorite of all time. Feel free to ask me about plotting, I'm sure we can work something out!

II. PERSONA
Zack has a tendency to always be positive and happy, looking to the bright side of most situations. Sometimes, his humor will come into play when the situation doesn't really call for it. It's due to the fact that he is not a fan on confrontation and tense situations. He tries to deflect them if at all possible, and therefore, earned himself the nickname 'Puppy'. He has the same hyperness as a little puppy, and will gladly befriend anyone who comes his way. He isn't a terrible person to have in a bad situation because he can totally be a good distraction.
The attention span on this one is that of a puppy as well. While he is decent at sticking to the task at hand, little things can steer him in another direction for a moment, especially conversations. Get him talking, and you'll be in for an ear full. Though he is attracted to both men and women, he tends to go after women more often than men, as he thinks they are far easier to sway with his charming personality. Even if they are the enemy, Zack will still try to smooth talk his way out of anything he probably got himself into.
Don't let all that fool you though, this man learned well from his mentor. Zack is dedicated to whatever he sets his mind to, and he will get the job done by all means neccessary. He doesn't believe in being better than anyone else, he just wants to be better than who he was the day before. He focuses on being a better person for himself before others, believing that you can't make others happy unless you are happy with yourself. He is a joy to be around, and you will definitely have a good time if Zack Fair is around.
III. HISTORY
Zack Fair was born in Gongaga and had a pretty normal childhood. He had his small group of friends, and parents who helped out around the community. He and his friends would always play fight with each other, and would pretend they were part of SOLDIER, as most little boys on Gaia did. Zack was different than all the other boys in town though, he actually pursued his dreams. At the age of thirteen, Zack left Gongaga and headed towards Midgar to join SOLDIER, with only a note left behind to tell his parents.
The dedication that he had growing up paid off, as Zack flew through training and was Second Class within two years. Of course, he had his mentor to thank for that. Despite his rambunctious additude, First Class Angeal Hewley apparently saw potential in Zack and took him on as his protege. Zack listened to Angeal, and took his words of pride and honor to heart, but that never stopped him from being himself. In a way, it seemed that sometimes, Angeal liked having someone with all that energy around. Maybe it reminded him that not everything was terrible.
Zack had met another boy there as well, another Second Class SOLDIER named Kunsel. It was weird, Kunsel never seemed to go out on missions, but he always knew things. Not just things, everything. How he got his intel was beyond Zack, but he appreciated it anyways! During a chat with Kunsel, Zack is called in to the Director's office. Angeal is there and mentions that he has recommended him for First Class. Of course, Zack was thrilled! He hugged Angeal and thanked him. Then he was informed that two would be going to Wutai.
Hearing at the point that Genesis was missing as well, Zack didn't hesitate to take the mission. When the arrive in Wutai, Angeal and Zack talk about dumbapples and Genesis, and then it was time! As he is trying to get into Fort Tamblin, he encounters a kid named Yuffie. He pretends to be injured by her and she takes off proudly. He defeats two monsters, but is saved by Angeal when one ended up counterattacking. After that, the two start to head home, but are ambushed by unknown soldiers. Angeal stays behind to attack them, while Zack takes the Director, who showed up randomly, and gets him to safety.
When he returns, Angeal is gone and he has to battle Ifrit. He's almost defeated, but Sephiroth shows up just in time. They both then realize that the soldiers are Genesis copies, and that Angeal seems to have left to join up with Genesis. Zack's next task is to head to Banora with Tseng of the Turks. There they find the grave of Genesis' adoptive parents and Zack locates Angeal's mother, who doesn't know where Angeal is either.
Genesis and Angeal are found in an old factory, and after an altercation, the two First Class SOLDIERs leave, and the Turks bomb Banora. Zack goes back to save Gillian, but she is already dead. When they return, Zack is promoted to First Class, which he isn't as happy about as he thought he'd be. Genesis copies attack Shinra, and Sephiroth and Zack fight them off and head to the Sector 5 reactor. They encounter Genesis and Angeal, who both now have wings. Zack refuses to fight Angeal, so Angeal destroys the platform and sends Zack falling.
Zack wakes up in Sector 5 slums, in a church where he meets Aerith. They hang out a bit and then Zack is called to upper Midgar to go after Genesis. On the way, Angeal shows up and flies him to the destination. After another battle, Zack loses Genesis and Angeal and heads back. His next mission is to Modeoheim with Tseng and other Shinra infantryman, one who who ends up his friend Cloud. When they arrive, Zack battles Genesis and thinks he has won. When he runs into Angeal, his mentor fuses with monsters and turns into Angeal Penance. Zack ends up defeating Angeal Penance, but is scratched on the cheek. Angeal hands the Buster Sword to Zack, telling him to remember his dreams and honor.
During a vacation in Costa Del Sol, Cissnei shows up to talk to him and they are attacked by Genesis copies. The defeat them and Zack is then sent to Junon to take care of the Shinra copies. That is soon taken care of and Zack is sent to Nibelheim, along with Cloud and Sephiroth. There, Sephiroth finds out a deep secret and goes insane. He burns the town down and steal Jenova's head. Both Zack and Cloud try to fight him, but both end up badly injured and pass out. The memories after that are hazy until about four years later.
Zack hunts down Genesis and finds him in Banora. There, he defeats him once a for all. After that, Zack carries Cloud, determined to make it to Midgar. They are stopped by the Shinra army when they get close to Midgar, and Zack fights them off but almost loses his life in the process. Instead, he wakes up, not having a single clue where he is. He notices that the Buster Sword is still with him, and fears for what happened to Cloud. Deciding it would be best to figure it out, he places the sword back on his back, and heads into the nearest town.

ROLE-PLAY SAMPLE:: "96. 97. 98. 99. 100. Alright Cloud, time to go." They were getting close to Midgar, but even that wouldn't stop Zack from getting in a good round of squats before continuing the journey. He couldn't believe they were so close, and it was going to take an army to stop them now! As he approached the cliff edge of the cliff, he decided now would be a good time to eat his own words, er, thoughts. Right smack in front of him was, in fact, an army. A Shinra army to be correct. "Oh look Cloud, they sent us a welcoming commity." Smirking to himself, he thought it was best that he hid Cloud from them, since he was in no condition to fight. So he laid him down behind some rocks.
Without even arming himself, he casually walked up to the army. Giving them a smirk, he shook his head. "Boy, oh boy. The price of freedom sure is steep." So it had come to this. After everything that had happened, Shinra still saw him as a threat. Hadn't he done enough for them!? Angeal, Genesis, Sephiroth, they were all gone now! Well, if it was a fight they wanted, it was fight they were going to get. Pulling out the Buster Sword, he brought it to his forehead. "Embrace your dreams. And, whatever happens, protect you honor. As SOLDIER! Come and get it!" With that, he took off towards the army.
The whole thing was a blur to be honest. There was bullets everywhere. Shinra soldiers going down left and right. To be honest, Zack hadn't even wanted to fight them. In the end, that was what had to happen. He had taken most of them down, but they still got him. His mind drifted off to Cloud, hoping they didn't find him before retreating the little amount of survivors. As if to hear his thoughts, he heard something moving towards him, and then, Cloud was above him.
Did he really look that bad!? Cloud looked way too worried and, for the first time, Zack was having troubles getting his voice to work. So this was what dying felt like. Weird. 'I definitely thought it would hurt more.' When Cloud finally said his name, Zack tried to smile. Instead, he used what energy he had left and reached for the Buster Sword. "For the...both of us." When Cloud looked confused and repeated it back, Zack gave a small nod. "That's right...You're gonna...Live." He reached up the bring Cloud to his chest. "You'll be...my living legacy."
His left arm then gave out, letting Cloud sit up again. He used his right arm to bring the handle of the Buster Sword to Cloud. "My honor...My dreams...They're yours now." Zack was getting tired, but before drifting off, he smiled as he heard Cloud repeat what he had told him. Good, he heard. Zack thought that it was the end for him for about ten minutes before he woke up. When he opened his eyes though, he almost screamed. Everything was different! Sitting straight up, he noticed he wasn't bleeding anymore. "Am I in heaven?" There was only like a few people around since he woke up in a small park it seemed, but they were a little concerned.
