New favorite icon. It gets double points for having Cloud in it and for being an icon that hasn't been screen captured before.
So Zack is still sorting through Cloud's disappearance. Even though things were different on the island and Cloud didn't need or really want Zack's help, Zack can't help but be Cloud's #1 cheerleader and fan. I'd describe their relationship as a cross between father/son and brother/brother. It's what sensei and pupil would have.
In the midst of learning to be ok with whatever happened to Cloud, Roxas has turned up. Not only does the kid remind him of Cloud with the blonde, spiky hair and blue eyes, but he's just about as emo talking about being heartless and nobody and monsters. Obviously this meant Zack needed to mentor the kid and have him move into Cloud's now empty room. I love this relationship. Yay Square Enix for recycling their characters!
I gave him Advent Children to study. He got two tags out of it which was disappointing, but he'll live. With as many people living on the island now and going through the Compound, obviously more than two people talked to him. Random NPCs?
I don't think Zack will be participating in Opposite Plot. At this point in his development, I can't see using it right now. Of course, there's always making him see what SOLDIER was like to people like AVALANCHE and the WUTAI, but I'm pretty sure I could accomplish that without destroying who he is. I think he'll have enough coping with Opposite Plot. But I don't have anything planned for him right now. At some point, he'll need to learn how to use his gunblade and maybe check out curling.
Future:
I've not done so well playing more than one pup. Hiro was great, but I had a tough time being the squealing fan boy all the time. Pacey wanted to tag everything and I allowed myself to get overwhelmed. He also never really settled into living on the island. He tried, but it was all just a cover.
Pup on the horizon, as in 9 months on the horizon if I can wait that long, is a pup I wanted to bring to the game originally. This pup is broken and there's a lot of opportunity to play that depth. I've been fooling around with another mun who plays a pup from the same canon and that's been a blast. I still feel like I'll have big shoes to fill bringing Mystery Pup, but it won't take much to make me love this pup as much as I love Zack. That's what it's all about after all, the pup love!
