[Backstory] Born to Megan&Harry Mcdonough in a suburban, middle class family, Zachary had the average American life. His father was a police officer, mother a kindergarten teacher, and an older sister who was equal parts his bully and his biggest aly. He naturally grew up to be outgoing, making a lot of friends and participating in sports along with various other clubs. He didn’t fit into any specific mold, his interests as a child dabbling into a little bit of almost everything. But at age 15, he caught his father having an affair. Zachary was physically threatened into keeping it a secret when he refused his father’s bribes until his mom did eventually find out. The divorce was quick, the messiness not reaching Zach or his sister due to his mom’s determination to shield them from it. Opted to stay with his sister and Mom. Has not talked to his father since he moved out. Goes by his mother’s maiden name, Caso. Despite his mother’s constant reassurance that she did not blame him at all, Zachary still feels guilty about not immediately telling her to this day. Feels somewhat obligated to stay close to his mother, not wanting her to ever feel lonely. Has never went into detail about how his father physically threatened him to not tell her. Current Residence: Childhood home, a modest two floor house full of memories and tokens of his and his sister’s childhood. Defining Life Moment: Discovering his father’s affair. Parents divorcing.

[Personality] Archetype: Extroverted Party Animal Trait 1: Talkative. Zach has a lot to say and doesn’t think twice about the words that come out of his mouth. This sometimes leads to him being seen as brash or rude, but the people closest to him know he doesn’t mean any harm.

Despite his parents' shattered marriage, Zach still believes in love and the purity in it. He has a tendency to fall quickly and very hard. Trait 3: Artistic. Before, during, and after his parents’ divorce, Zach had a lot of anger and intense feelings that he had a hard time releasing. His mother introduced him to different forms of art in hopes of him picking up a healthy coping mechanism. Dabbling in painting, music, drawing, writing; pottery and wood sculpting has stuck with him over the years. The kitchen cupboards are full of plates/bowls/cup Zach has made and he has a small chest tucked under his bed full of wood sculptors he’s too shy to show people Trait 4: Paranoid. Because of his father’s infidelity, Zach has a fear of the same happening to him. He loves incredibly hard and the thought of his partner leaving him can make him act out. Can come off as extremely jealous and possessive at times because of this but really doesn’t mean to. Likes: partying, meeting new people, long talks, wood carving, pottery, indie/pop music, slushies, Hell’s Kitchen, his scooter, his mom’s parrot Candy, late night drives, the moon Dislikes: the quiet, too many slow days, boring routines, cheaters, coffee, sitting still for too long, talking about his dad, the cold, hotdogs Insecurities: routinely bleaches his hair blond(like his mother) because looking like his dad makes him feel ill, Zach is genuinely a confident person but if someone calls something out about him specifically he will dwell on it Quirks/Habits: whistles to himself subconsciously to fill in silence when it becomes to much, talks to his mom’s parrot when no one else is home, cracks his knuckles often, has a knack for remembering random niche movies he watched as a child and will reference them smoothly in conversation.

[Intimacy] Turn-ons: praise, pleasure dom, soft dom, switch, blindfolded(giving/receiving); finds it erotic to trust his partner in that sense and vice versa, barebacking, body worship, mutual masturbation, oral(giving more than receiving) Turn-offs: degradation, impact play, choking During sex: to Zach, the most important part of sex is feeling connected both physically and mentally. Has had sex before with past partners under the pretense that he thought they were the one. Prefers slow, sensual sex over anything fast or rough. Is very vocal during sex, will shower partners in praise, worship their body, let them know they're loved. Puts his partner's pleasure over his own. Will be submissive if his partner wants him to. Will never do anything that causes any sort of pain even if his partner assures him that they want it.
