______________________________________________________________
Given Name || Zachary Arthur Vosler (pronounced VOH-SAYR)
Nicknames/Aliases || Zak. He doesn’t like to respond to anything else, though his classmates have many both admirable and mean nicknames for him. He likes the simplicity of Zak and will correct anyone who tries to spell it “Zach”, “Zack”, ”Zac”, or any other variation.
Age/Year/School || Zak attends Salem High and he is currently a senior. He’s 17 and his birthday is May 4th.
Zodiac || Taurus
Gender || Male
Sexuality || Good question. He refuses to experiment and assumes he is heterosexual.
Health Issues? || He self-harms but has not been diagnosed with depression; his family and friends don’t know. The only one who knows is his sister and he and she have a mutual agreement to never tell anyone of either of their secrets. He gets headaches very often as well and rarely goes a day without one. He often blames it on the idiots he has to live with every day.
School/Social Life
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Job || Stocker/cashier at the local grocery store.
Reputation || Zak stands out in a crowd, being 6’3” tall. He is mostly known for being around Fallyn. He intimidates many people because he tends to pick fights with people and is so blunt and mean to others. However there are those, too, who want to put him in his place and he usually eggs them on.
Friends || Zak’s best friend would probably be Fallyn, who he views more as a sibling than he views his actual sister. He met them when they were a freshman and he was a junior, and they were both outcasts who didn’t really fit in anywhere else. Zak took it upon himself to be a protector for them and if anyone talks shit about Fallyn he’s often there, menacing and glowering behind the perpetrator. He rarely sticks up for people – only for them really. Though Fallyn can hold their own in a fight he takes it upon himself to protect them regardless.
Enemies/Rivals || Pretty much the whole school, save Fallyn. He hates Salem High but seems to have a particular envy towards those who attend Metric.
Relationship Status || Single. Certainly not looking. He can barely stand small talk with people, let alone actually getting to know people.
Clubs and Organizations || None.

History
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Family ||
Brice Vosler – Father – 43 – Auto mechanic Brice used to be a good father. When Zak was a baby he was doting and always there for the boy. Zak loved him unconditionally and looked up to him. However, when Zak expressed little interest in sports and his father’s interests, that doting personality began to fade. Brice does not like his son’s fashion sense or aloofness. He fears that Zak is homosexual and chastises him every time he catches the boy singing or playing music. Yet at the same time, Brice seems to make an effort to be there for his son. The mixed signals from Brice, especially the disappointment that he might be queer or that he is a virtuoso, have caused Zak to form a deep-rooted hatred of himself for being a disappointment. He still loves his father; instead of blaming him for his bias, Zak blames himself for not being what his father wanted.
Arianne Vosler – Mother – 43 – || Zak would not say he has much of a relationship with his mother. She is there, but nt very supportive and seems to agree with Brice that though she does clam to love him, she wishes Zak was different.
Nicolette Vosler – Older Twin Sister – 17 – Student || Nicolette and Zak do not get along. They always steal each other’s things and are at each other’s throats. Zak likes to steal her makeup most of the time and Nicolette will steal his hoodies and CDs most of the time. Their parents are at their wits end with these two. Zak knows that Nicolette only puts a nice girl front for their parents and is actually involved with the delinquents at school, and she knows that he self-harms. The two have a sort of agreement that while he doesn’t tell her secret, she doesn’t tell his. Nicolette and Zak look almost identical, both having thin black hair and pale skin. Nicolette may also have a punk sort of style to the way she dresses in school, but she pushes her brother away. Nicolette is heavily involved with distributing drugs (not doing them, though) and a lot of the popular crowd go through her to get their goodies. For this reason, she's generally well-liked and had several friends in school. She keeps her grades high to avoid suspicion from her parents and is actually quite smart.
Hometown || Salem, CA.
Vehicle/Transportation || His parents, or his feet. Nicolette has a car but like hell she’ll ever drive him anywhere.
House/Living Arrangements || Zak lives in a modern ranch style home with his parents and sister in uptown Salem.
Backstory || Zak was born planned, to a happy couple. Though they were surprised to have twins, it wasn't unwelcome. Since the first time he can remember, Zak has always idolized his father and been close to him. As he got older, though, his father began to express concern in this and that. Zak’s hobbies were never really encouraged unless they were sports related. While Zak loved music his father always reprimanded him if he got too interested in something he deemed ‘feminine’ or ‘gay’. Zak was always paired up with his female friends and encouraged to do things with his father. Zak enjoyed it, and enjoyed making his father happy. He began to hide his interest in the arts and forced heterosexuality on himself. His father had always been a supporter of equal rights, but very much insisted that his two kids were definitely not ‘like that’. Zak just went along with it and aspired to make his father happy.
His relationship with his sister was never the best as well. He wound up stealing her things when he was a child – which his father severely reprimanded him for – but that was how he got his first eyeliner. Zak never really fit in with the kids at school and was always the scene and gothic type. He had morbid curiosities and interests that concerned his parents. Zak never liked his mother much because she was never really there for him either way. It frustrated him. Though he and Nicolette were twins they were opposite social groups and detested one another, never interacting in public and bickering often at home.
In middle school Zak began to get bullied – quite a lot. When he got roughhoused after school by the boys, he realized he actually enjoyed the pain. Shortly after that was when he began to self-harm not necessarily out of a malicious reason either but for the pleasure it gave him. He hid the scars on his wrists with wristbands and long sleeves. One time he discovered his twin sister sneaking off behind the bleachers at Salem High with some older boys. She, unlike their parents, took notice of his self-harm and threatened to tell their parents if he told them about her problems. They reached an understanding and have never spoken of it since that day.
High School was not different. Zak still didn’t fit in and had no friends. He often wound up going past Metric Academy and wondered what it would be like to be a music student there. However he didn’t ever apply.
When he was a junior he met Fallyn. They were a freshman and he gravitated towards them due to their sense of style being similar to his own. Unlike Fallyn, Zak is not social and does not like being around people, but being around them was tolerable. Maybe he saw his freshman self in them. Or maybe he just was lonely. Either way, he started to defend Fallyn when others picked on them, resulting in the two of them being well known around the school as outcasts who defended themselves. He was fine with that.
Zak eventually found an old, battered guitar and repaired it as best he could. Playing it became therapeutic as his self-esteem and self-worth got worse. Like self-harming it gave him a sense of pleasure. He eventually got a job and bought a nice guitar – storing it at Fallyn’s place so his father would not see it. He feels a sense of guilt whenever he sings or plays, but it also gives him a sense of warmth usually vacant from his life. At the moment, Fallyn is his only real friend but he doesn't object to that.
