Personality
Zin is a kind and gentle man that often pushes himself to offer aid to those around him with only limited regard to his own needs and wellbeing. Perhaps because of this, Zin often finds himself overthinking relationships and the sincerity of those he interacts with. With those doubts in mind, he has become a habitual loner, spending most of his time alone working on his own projects. Still he does manage to interact with a small group of friends and peers, occasionally playing video games or meeting in person. With other people Zin is rarely confrontational, however he will be surprisingly outspoken when he feels it is necessary.
Around his friends and family, Zin keeps most of his feelings private. However, he has learned to share his feelings in therapy which he started to attend four years ago after certain events. To most people, he is a happy and quiet person that is going through life quite well.
Privately, Zin is haunted by doubts of self worth and value and he often struggles to keep a positive outlook when his mind is left idle for too long. Additionally, there are creeping memories of past events that sometimes leave Zin in a state of bizarre existential terror. In spite of these setbacks, Zin has a calm confidence and strength that carries him through most days.
Positive: Kind, Altruistic, Sympathetic, Cordial, Righteous
Negative: Paranoid, Cautious, Depressive, Addictive, Self-Righteous
Background
Zin grew up in an abusive home, a fact that would haunt him for many years, crippling him and his ability to accomplish many of the things that he wished to. It took many years of Therapy and determination to work past much of the damage, but slowly and surely Zin has become an improved person in many aspects.
Zin spent years fighting depression and though he has managed to work past a great deal of his crippling issues, he still struggles with his mental health. One thing that no amount of therapy could ever heal is the gnawing paranoia caused by the events of four years ago.
Those years ago, Zin and a handful of players from the illegal game known as Terrasphere met in real life for a mission that would change everything. They went to a player’s home that had been reportedly locked into the game, only to discover to their horror that the player was dead. The most chilling thing though was that the player had been dead for a longer time than when they had all last spoken to the locked in player. It seemed as if the game had made an exact copy of the player and killed the original.
Zin had become horrified by these events, he discarded the game and evidence of his involvement and anonymously gave as much information to authorities as he could without incriminating himself or others, though little good it would likely do. Still, soon after he heard the game had mysteriously become inaccessible, disappearing just as mysteriously as it had appeared in the first place.
Slowly, Terrasphere and the insane mystery it represented vanished into the recesses of Zin’s memory. He started working on his mental health, working out, and focusing on his education. Eventually he completed college, became a freelancer for various software developers while also privately working on a variety of projects alone or with friends. It seemed that the nightmare of Terrasphere would just be a silent curiosity never to be resolved and rarely to be thought of.
Until one day while downloading a file for a project he was working on, Zin saw something that made his heart skip a beat. Something he thought he would never see again, yet had dreaded for four years now. A pop up, bypassing all of his blockers. It read: “Terrasphere! Click here to download!”
Zin stared at it for what felt like hours frozen, unsure of what to do. It felt so obvious, all he had to do was click out of it and go about his day. But slowly his mouse moved towards the download, like an addict unable to control himself. “God help me…” He whispered as he clicked the download button.
