Zackarie "Back Ally Doctor"

Zackarie Heartstride is a hyena and alligator’s mutated hybrid, with a mild temper and will only thrash out if agitated enough. If you see him by himself talking and no one around, don’t interact with him or he might hurt you. He is also well respected as a doctor and most of the hybrids trust him in his works. Zackarie is good at what he does and never seems to fail at that. His the one doctor that hybrids can trust the most to not rat them out to the military, government or even the mafia.

Runt Childhood
Zackarie heartstride was born in a rich family somewhat before Maria was. He is the brother of Maria’s family so they grew up together. Zackarie was born into a family of 4 and was the youngest of the two sisters. He had two sisters one named Mara and the other named Alex, both two being very smart and going to private schools. The mother and father had big plans for the three children, hoping they would work for the military who were performing tests on the army. They had invested a lot of money into the projects and were seen as big investors by them. Though Zackarie was a bit different from the two sisters, during his 6th birthday he fell from a great height cracking his head. He went through surgery went put him in a coma for 3 years until he came out of it, his parents weren’t around when he woke up and were instead at his sister’s talent show.

He was very behind on his knowledge as his sisters had gotten ahead of him. His parents saw him as a failure because of this, and wouldn’t give him the comfort and love that his parents would. Zackarie would stay in his room whenever he got back from school and studying animals, human anatomy, and also various other things like stuff for doctors just in case. He would push himself to learn about these things and whenever he could perform experiments in live animals in his father’s lab when he was 12. He was never caught because he would make sure nothing was out of place, even the smell. At age 13 that’s when he started hearing strange voices, it seemed the surgery was never done correctly and he would hallucinate every so often. This only drove him to succeed past his sisters and to one day get approval from his parents.

During middle school, he was bullied and known for not having that many friends, word had got out that Zackarie was sometimes seen talking to himself and also see grabbing dead animals off the road to experiment on. Zackarie would get beaten by bully’s although all he would do is laugh and smile, which freaked out the bullies so much they didn’t want to do it anymore. By the age of 16, he was now going into high school, Zackarie’s sisters got accepted to work at the labs in the military, he was angry with this. He kept working so hard, always having straight A’s in each class that he was in and teachers loved him. This though was never enough for his parents, he would always be seen as the runt of the family. Because of the accident that his parents caused themselves. It was graduation day and Zackarie was 18, his parents never showed up, but a relative did show, his grandfather was the only one to show up. He felt a small bit of happiness from this.

Real Parent
Zackarie’s grandfather would take him in to tell him about the military lab, telling him top secrets about the things they did there to humans on how they injected them with elements and animal genes to make them stronger for the country to fight. Zackarie was intrigued by all of this new information, his parents would never tell him everything. During the years(24) Zackarie’s grandfather would sneak him in to show him the works and what they did in there. Zackarie grew to love those strange hybrid parts of people, they were outsiders just like he was in a way. He wanted to help them be free and maybe also be just like them.

So over time, he would learn how they did things how they injected them and where they got the vials exactly. He would even check on some of the subjects how they looked and what the injections did to them and how they felt. He never saw them though mixed the genes or elements. He would always wonder about all of that. During this time his sister Mara had gotten married to someone and she had already had a child. Zackarie only knew this because he was invited to the wedding. He knew though how his sister was, he knew she would give no love to that child just like his parents did to him. by the time he was 27 he was able to pretend to look like one of the scientists. He sneaked into the lab and planned to steal one of the vials they had been testing. There were warning signs on a few of them, it seemed they were a mix of two genes of animals. This didn’t stop Zackarie from taking them. He stole one that said alligator but didn’t read the rest of it. He took it home and later at night would inject it.

Failed Experiment
There was a reason these never were tested, most of the subjects had died because they’re personality’s could not fit these injections right. During that night when everyone was on vacation, in which he was the only one living there still his sisters had moved our and his parents were out on a grand vacation not caring about him or maybe forgotten about him. He carefully injected himself as he saw how the scientist did in the military lab.

A bad mistake the progress didn’t go well, most subjects were given this when they were young or even born with it. He fell to the floor screaming in pain his body changed drastically, but not in a good way. He now had a long tail the came from his backside, ears were longer and half his skin now ugly with scales on it. It also affected one of his eyes which were now red. His teeth also were now sharp as hell. After the screaming had stopped and the stains of the floor glowed with blood. Zackarie let out a laugh which lasted for a couple of minutes and weakly got up. Luckily for him, his legs weren’t mangled from the mutation and he could still see perfectly fine, minus the wonky vision of one eye seeing better than the other. He looked at his hand slowly seeing a bit different, some scales on one of them, and his nails were sharper also.

He stumbled into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror stripping himself of his clothes to see his appearances. Now it may seem ugly in some people’s eyes, but not to Zackarie. Looking like this excited him, he didn’t mind the look at all. Although he could feel a difference in his mood and his appetite. He would touch his new scales and Flinch because of how new they were. Zackarie then smiled in the mirror and could see how big his teeth were now. He could most likely rip someone’s throat out. He would observe himself for a while until needed some well rest. Over time then he would lock himself in his room testing out his new body over the months. It seemed he was able to hold his breath underwater longer now than a normal human. Over time hopefully, he would get better at holding his breath. Another thing is he found he had really good night vision on his left eyes and good see well underwater with his right eye. He would keep finding out more and more things about himself. That only overtime would it improve the more he practice. During the months he was hidden away in his room he sent maids to get his food and bring it to his room. Where he would eat a lot for a skinny guy like himself. Though it would never build up weight for him since he trained so hard.

Death to family
When he was 28 he finally stepped out of his room one night, he was deranged and killed both of his parents in their sleep. When he came to the reality of it, he felt nothing when he had killed them. He wasn’t sad, all he did was laugh slightly grinning. After that, he packed and ran away from home and stayed with his dying grandfather. There letter sent to the grandfather’s house a week later about a funeral for his parents from his two sisters. He glared at it, refusing to go. Zackarie never told his grandfather what had happened to them, nor would he ever. He never talked to his sisters after that. Finally, Zackarie had more than enough room to test himself. He tested his speed first and to his surprise, he was quicker on his feet now. Next was his strength and he was much stronger now. He grinned in happiness over his newfound discovering. He would keep training and testing over the two years until he was comfortable with himself. Now being 30 it was this year his grandfather had finally passed away, he grieved for him, and there was a funeral in which he saw both his sisters and their husband. Something was up though Mara’s daughter was missing and he frowns. He wouldn’t question it though and continued grieving for his dead grandfather.

Present Life alone
Now Zackarie was alone, no one to take care of him or to talk to. This messed him up mentally he was forced to talk to the voices he heard in his head. This went on while he trained himself self over 2 years. Zackarie had enough of being alone and he was running low on money so he opened a back ally clinic to help those injured. He had some knowledge of surgery since he studied it when he was a kid and over the time he was resting from training. He also knew how to work around hybrids. He became a trusted clinic in 2 years, with good feedback. Though sometimes on his free time in the dead of night Zackarie would sorta targeted for helping other gangs, he never backed down and killed anyone that attacked him. The thing is though no one could ever find the bodys of those who died by his hand, and no one would ever suspect him considering how nice he is to clients.

Their news that one of the military though had a breakout and many subjects tested on had gotten free and more people like him now would be out and about. Zackarie might have more clients now due to this. Unbeknownst to him, he had a niece that had also gotten out which he didn’t know about other than his sister had her.

Zackarie place would be booming with more clients and he was happy to help them with their problems. If some clients got too rough with him and left with our paying he would find them later and kill them. He always made sure to cover his face with a mask so he wouldn’t notice tho if he were ever to be caught. It’s been 2 years now and Zackarie’s business is doing well, and most of the people around there seem to trust him, he never gets involved with the mafia if it ever comes to it. If they do come he charges them extra he isn’t scared of them.

Personality
Zackarie is quiet a first when you meet him and won’t talk a lot. If pushed the wrong way he can get mad easily thrashing out if agitated. During work, Zackarie puts on a fake personality pretending to be comfortable and happy around the people he will help. Usually will crack dark humor jokes. When he gets used to a customer he is more outgoing, grinning, and laughing, he can sometimes be flirty when speaking but that’s just the brain damage speaking. He is still a strange and weird man though, clients can trust him but in reality, he will put himself before you.

Abilities
Since Zackarie wasnt given these at a young age he still has time to improve on most of his new abilities. So they may be weak but over time he will get stronger. Since he has two different animal genes his abilities are split and he also has more of a weakness.

Alligator side

Due to his other half being an alligator he can breathe underwater for 30 minutes luckily over time he will be able to last longer for at least 10 hours or more like a normal gator. He can also swim faster due to his long gator-like tail. As for his eyesight, his one eye glows red at the night and is also good for seeing underwater, but terrible in the day. He can also see in the dark.

Hyena side

His hyena eye is very sharp and can also see in the dark. They don’t glow like alligators but are black. He can run slightly faster than a normal human even without the hybrid parts. Could be faster if improved on.

Both sides

His jaw is a mixture of both hyena and alligator so he has powerful bite thanks to the two being able to bite through steel if need around 1500 pounds for now, if he trains more he can do 2k pounds. He is also slightly stronger due to both sides of his genes.

Weakness
Due to Zackarie’s accident, he can sometimes lose control of himself and will hurt or kill. This will also end up with him getting hurt or killed as well. Zackarie will sometimes need to keep his alligator side hydrated or he will dry out and get sick. If not hydrated his skills are slower like. Also gets drowsy in the sun if it is really hot, usually will sleep all day until it’s cold.
