Character Information
Name: Zack Fair
Canon: Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core
Canon Point: After Passing his blade to Cloud (before seeing Angeal)
Age: 23

Canon Background: Canon Background (Remake Continuity Not Relevant)

Abilities: As a member of ShinRa's SOLDIER program, Zack has undergone quite a bit of enhancements thanks to Mako treatments, as well as further enhancements by Hojo's experimentation with Jenova Cells. This has led to a lot of physical enhancements such as superhuman speed, strength, durability, resilience, and even enhanced healing factor.

For more traditional skills, Zack is a master swordsman (perhaps one of the best in his world's history) talented with the use of greatswords such as the Buster Sword. His skill is sufficient that he managed to fight and defeat two of the top three SOLDIERS in the program, and even held his own for a time against Sephiroth before ultimately losing. Through his training with Angeal, Zack also became skilled at hand to hand combat, but this is not his favored style and it's the enhancements he has that make him truly dangerous with his fists. In addition he has passable skills with ShinRa Mass Produced Materia (enabling him to make use of magic and other enhancements), and knows how to use this to enhance his melee combat skills.

Finally of note is that Zack's Limit Break (a form of specialized combat abilities only accessible in high stress or special circumstances), allows him to copy the abilities of others that he has seen performed. Here, separated from his world and it's magic, he won't be able to gain new connections to further this. But this does enable him to use a selection of abilities, including one tied to an enemy of his. These triggers will be far rarer in game here than they are in canon.

Personality:
Strengths

Zack is basically what you'd want in a hero (which is great because that's his goal, to be a hero). He's got an amazingly positive attitude most of the time, something that he uses to lift up the people around him and make the best of a bad situation. He's friendly, meaning he can turn most people around him, even those that are leery of ShinRa or who are private people, into friends or at least allies. Zack's super protective, even of strangers, which leads to him throwing himself in the way to save others, just as much because honor demands it as because it's the right thing to do. And more than anything, Zack's always ready to work, whether that would be a mission or just some task he's set himself or agreed to, like building a flower cart. It doesn't matter, when he says he's going to do something, he does it.

Weaknesses

Zack's attention span can give him a bit of trouble. Things that 'bore' him won't get the full benefit of his work ethic, which can include training in areas he doesn't think are important. There are also times when even his positive attitude can be broken through, leaving Zack in a dark mood where he isn't fully trusting of the motives of people around him. He also isn't always the best at realizing when his loyalty has gone too far, when those he has given it to are not worthy of the gift they are being offered. This can mean Zack sticks around with something even when he shouldn't, even when he knows things are wrong and shouldn't be trusted. He sticks around to hope to cause change from the inside, even if all logic would say that wouldn't be likely to happen. This blind loyalty can also lead to him trying to redeem people who are beyond the point of no return.
