Today's OCtober challenge is "An OC with freckles". Introducing my favorite freckled friend, Zachary James O'Connor. He was practically raised on video games and acts like it too. He doesn't follow the rules, jumps into situations without thinking, and wants to smash every pot he sees and has no healthy fear of fighting. Some time after coming to Silen Fah, he also discovers that he has a special ability - the ability to manipulate the speed of time. Or, from everyone else's perspective, to move incredibly fast. So he's a fifteen-year-old sassy speedster with green eyes, but he wasn't based on Sonic the Hedgehog. Promise! I grew up with a PS1 and an N64; didn't know very much about Sonic until Zac was already a well-established character.... OH HELP DON'T SUE ME SEGA PLEEEEASE!

Zac is one of Tina's unfortunate friends who was brought to Silen Fah during the trespassing excursion into an abandoned building. The group was separated upon arrival and while Tina and the other humans were picked up by the people of Silen Fah, the Merfaturen found and befriended Zac first. What on earth will happen when he finds out he's entered a war against his friends?
