I am dead, but it’s not so bad. I’ve learned to live with it.
Introduction

xxxxxHad a really cushy life, once, until he died. Turns out, that was just the beginning.

Description

xxxxxA muscular man, 6' even, with light brown skin, clean features, and kinky hair kept in neat thin chin-length locs. Also, he's dead. In another life Zack might have been somewhere between "cute" and "forgettable", but that was a different life. Now, his skin tends towards a ashen pallor; the melanin that should make his complexion a warm brown only makes the sickly greyish cast all the more noticeable. Some days, his skin sags more than it should; some days, he has pieces missing. He often smells mildly- or heavily- like decay. On his good days he looks to be in his mid-thirties; on his bad days, he looks well past his expiration date.

Reputation

xxxxxA resident of Freaktown for several months before its end, known around there to be pretty friendly, pretty helpful, and pretty dead.

xxxxxOne of the Monster Freaktonians that Nessie et al escorted to the Tunnels on the night of the Last Stand; has been accruing much the same rep in the tunnels. Also, known to be a Licensed M.D. and a good person to turn to for medical care.

History

xxxxxWas once a comfortably middle-class respectable doctor. Died, became a labrat, got back into the world.

Powers

xxxxxNecromancy, self & others.

Skills

xxxxxDoctor, Jock, vague dabbler in crafts.

Trivia
  • Has two pets -- a Sphynx cat named Chairman Mao Zedong that looks more gremliny than most and a pitbull mutt named Zero. They are both also dead, and both also friendly.
  • In his former life, was team physician for the NY Islanders.
  • Still very Jewish, has a lot of questions about halacha and Being A Zombie. Jewish Social Media has been more willing to entertain the questions than his rabbi.
  • Eats a lot of meat. In pretty much any condition he finds it. Bones and all? Way past expiry? Roadkill? Sure, he'll have it.
  • His surname means "strength", but, in a different tone it is homophonous with the word for "stiff" -- part of the Chinese word for zombie, "jiang shi" (stiff corpse). If he knew Mandarin better he would probably find this HILARIOUS.
