Personality: There are two things that Zack is driven by more than anything else: honor and his dream of being a hero. The former comes, very seriously, from his mentor Angeal. Honor matters a lot to Zack, and for him that boils down to protecting people who can’t protect themselves, always keeping his word, and sticking to a specific code of ethics. He doesn’t want to hurt people who are innocent, and he will actually forego the specifics of a mission if there are innocents in harm’s way. Honor definitely continues on into the idea that being loyal to one’s friends are of upmost importance, even when it goes against orders.
The dream of being a hero is an interesting one with Zack. He doesn’t want to be a hero because he wants his name to be big like Sephiroth has. It’s not even for the recognition, though he wants that too. No, Zack wants to be a hero because he can protect people. That’s part of what drives him to wanting to be a SOLDIER First Class as well. Being stronger and better, means a lot to him, because he can change the world. He genuinely believes ShinRa’s propaganda that the war with Wutai was unprompted and that bringing Mako Reactors to the nation would bring prosperity, health and growth to the island nation.
Of course part of that boils down to the excited, positive energy that Zack tends to exude. He’s always bursting with energy, to the point where his mentor was known to describe him as a puppy. There’s often a playful air around Zack when he’s not on a mission, grinning and making light jokes and even flirting with those around him. His friendly disposition even makes it common for him to start connecting with people that others might not, such as the more socially insular Turks. He’s also known to give lower level SOLDIERs pep talks and offering to help teach them some so they can become better at what they do.
When it comes down to it, though, Zack is capable of seriousness and even he gets angry enough to lash out at other people. Thinking that Sephiroth is going to kill not only Sephiroth’s best friends, but Zack’s mentor, he actually shouts at the head of their department and Sephiroth. Betrayed by Angeal and faced by his mentor, he loses all the cheer and lightness of their interaction, instead fully hostile at first. He’s even disdainful of Sephiroth right after Zack achieves his promotion to first, a moment when he should be celebrating, because Sephiroth is pushing a mission off on him instead of taking it himself.
Ultimately, though, Zack does his best to stay positive. Even after years of being experimented upon and tortured by Hojo, and carrying a catatonic Cloud across the world, he has a whole positive outlook. He tells Cloud about his dreams of going back to Midgar to Aerith and becoming a mercenary. Even with everything taken from him, all he wants to do is return to the happiness that life can be, both for himself and his friend. Hope definitely keeps him going.

Powers/skills: As a SOLDIER operative, Zack has undergone chemical treatments and genetic enhancements to make him a better combatant. These treatments result in enhanced strength, speed, and stamina, allowing him to be a better fighter. As an example, he can handle the seriously heavy Buster Sword without issue and even shows flourishes and swings it around one-handed because he’s just a show-off. As an example of speed and precision, Zack actively cuts multiple RPG rounds in half when they are launched at him. For strength, he showcases jumping off of the room of a train a good fifteen feet in the air to twist through a gap in an overhang so he doesn’t get hurt by it, and first class SOLDIERS are seen cutting through concrete and steel through force of blows.
In addition these treatments come with an insane degree of pain tolerance and innate enhanced healing rates, to the point where it takes Zack being shot at multiple times by a large number of infantry to actually kill him. As part of this process his eyes also have an obvious blue glow to them.
Zack is also highly trained, has been with the company for several years and legitimately gained the First Class status. He’s a high level combatant seen doing highly acrobatic moves in combat and taking down massive monsters, machines, and other highly trained operatives. His skill as a swordsman should not be discounted.
