Personality-
Zack King is a highly intelligent man. The young man has always had a certain aptitude for learning. Zack loves computer science and simply adores numbers. Whether it was mathematics or science, the young man just couldn't get enough. Zack fueled this love for numbers with statistics and found himself loving baseball and all the many different number of statistics associated with it. Furthermore, Zack has always been a very creative person and has always been very fond of creating and designing. Whether it be his own sketches or artistic drawings or something much more fine tuned and empirical, the young man has always shown a knack for creativity. The one thing Zack loves the most is a sense of quiet and easy, peaceful feelings. Over the years, Zack has achieved this two ways… The easiest was by simply following his love for classical music… While Zack also found his inner peace in sailing, where the young man was able to go out into the ocean and find quiet amongst the waves.
Additionally, Zack has always shown a great amount of disdain and hatred towards lying. He hates the Steroid-Era of baseball and finds it to be a black spot on the face of the greatest game in the world. The young man despises being lied to. Zack finds that it would simply just be easier to tell the truth instead of going through the hassle, pain and unfortunate events that are associated with lying. To Zack, no good can ever come from a lie. In conjunction, Zack finds religion to be absolutely abhorrent. Even though the young man was raised religiously, he finds the idea of organized faith and the fanatics that all orders produce to be absolutely ridiculous. The young man would much rather believe in something he can see and understand than something he has to believe in and take for granted. Finally, Zack does not care for authority and being told what to do… Something that most certainly stems from his disdain for religion.
Despite all of Zack's intelligence, the young man definitely has his quirks. Zack is most definitely culturally unaware and more or less lost when it comes to pop culture references. In addition, Zack is very compulsive and even obsessive when it comes to work. When he starts something he has to finish… Finally, Due to the fact that Zack despises lying so much, the young man finds himself to be very untrusting. Furthermore, Zack is emotional distant in an effort to protect himself from any pain he might encounter. Going even further, when Zack actually lets people in and allows them to get close, he finds that if they break this trust, he becomes very unforgiving. Through this, Zack will have an incredibly hard amount of time letting these people who betray his trust and hurt him, back into his realm of trust. Zack has been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which most commonly presents itself in Zack's need to crack his knuckles. This in effect has caused early stages of arthritis to manifest.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
All-Sight -- All-Sight is the complete and total mastery of one's eyes and accompanying vision. When this power is being used, Zack's eyes go completely white. Even though his eyes become completely white, he can still see and use his eyes to their fullest potential. Through the use of his power Zack can utilize precognition (seeing into the future) and postcognition (seeing into the past). Furthermore, Zack is able to use his power to access many of the finely tuned ocular based abilities. Zack can use his power to see in infrared (thermal), night vision, the full color spectrum, and x-ray vision. In addition, Zack also has access to telescopic vision, which grants his eyes a "zoom" function, where he is able to see things that are very far away. Additionally, Zack's ability grants him circumspect which enables him to have 360 degree vision, effectively giving him eyes in the back of his head. Finally, Zack is able reflect light through his eyes and subsequently focus it in the form of a laser, of which Zack can control the intensity and level of heat.
Limits-
The primary limit to Zack's ability is the fact that it is ocular based. Due to the fact that Zack's eyes are central to the utilization of his power, he must in fact keep his eyes in pristine condition. Zack must protect his eyes at all cost… Without them, his power becomes completely useless. If Zack is blinded in anyway his power becomes completely unusable until this is rectified. Thus, Zack's main weakness comes from anyone with a power/know how to blind him. A photokinetic could easily use their light-based powers to impair his vision while a sand manipulator could impair this as well. Furthermore, a blow to the eyes would be detrimental to Zack's power and would likely cause temporary blindness. In addition, Zack's power does not allow him to see through illusions. Also, when utilizing his power to see into the future or the past, Zack is unable to tell the difference in what he is seeing. Simply when Zack uses this function, he is unsure of whether or not he is seeing the future or past.
Appearance-
Standing at close to 6 feet tall, Zack King has a stocky build making his profession as an engineer to be almost surprising. He has blue eyes and somewhat shaggy black hair that stops an inch or so above his eyebrows. Zack has a fair tanned complexion and skin tone. The young man has an edged but rounded facial structure, which only serves to accentuate his features.
More often than not, Zack keeps himself clean-shaven, although occasionally he can be seen with a slight stubble. The majority of the time Zack can be found wearing a nice pair of jeans that he likes to relax in. However, when at work, Zack tries to adhere to company policy and is often clad in the standard white lab coat.

History-
Zack King was born on January 1st, 1981 to Richard and Helen Dawson. Zack was born in Denver, Colorado where he and his two parents lived a quiet wonderful life. The little boy and his mom and dad enjoyed the simple things. They'd spend time in the park or go to the local lake for a nice swim. Zack had a wonderful early childhood. The little boy loved the usual things a little boy loved like cartoons and matchbox cars. However, Zack loved oh so much more. The young boy always had a knack for creativity. Zack had a wild imagination and would show his magnificent creations in drawings that he would make. The little boy's aptitude grew even further as he neared the age of six when he started playing chess with his father. It was all becoming exceptionally clear… Zack was much smarter than the average child… He would most certainly be destined for greatness.
When Zack was seven years old, the little boy's life changed forever. Zack's cousin Amy and her parents had been in a terrible car accident in Israel. Amy's parents had died instantly. Luckily, Amy survived. Even though she was a mere seven months old, the little girl had survived the horrific and traumatic event. Richard and Helen Dawson immediately took the girl in and adopted her. Amy immediately became a part of the family. Most children would have loved the thought of having a baby sister to look after… Zack wasn't one of those children though… The young boy had his quirks and he most certainly showed them through his youth. Zack picked on Amy incessantly as a child. Everything began to change at one point during their childhood though. When Zack was about fifteen years old the young boy was playing outside with his sister, Amy who was six at the time. Out of nowhere a rabid, stray dog appeared and charged towards the two young children. Instinctively, Zack jumped in front of Amy in an effort to save her. Though he wasn't hurt badly, the dog had still scratched Zack and bitten him once. The young teenager was rushed to the hospital for a rabies shot. Though he was fine, Zack would always have a certain fear of dogs from that point onward in his life.
Even though he wouldn't admit it, Zack knew that he had a certain soft spot for his baby sister. The young boy wouldn't realize it or even begin to admit it until he was eighteen years old. Zack had always been incredibly smart… And so the young man went off to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for college. There, Zack found that being so far away from home had its effect on him. Sure he missed his mom and dad… But Zack missed his baby sister the most. Even though he'd always been at odds with her… Zack had found that he'd had a certain soft spot for her and had come to miss his sister greatly. The young man knew that he had to rectify everything he had done to his sister in the past… Zack knew that he had to be a better brother… And he was.
After graduating from MIT, Zack was without a job for a while. The young man floundered at first… But soon enough, Zack was able to find a job, though it wasn't the most stable one. Zack went from computer science job to one after another. To be honest though, even though Zack's life wasn't incredibly stable… The young man loved his work. Zack loved working with computers and he loved the field. The young man couldn't have been happier. Wherever he was working, Zack would go to a local baseball game or just have fun. The young man took up sailing and other activities to fill his time. It wasn't until Zack met a representative from Ark Industries when he was able to achieve a sensible, stable job in his field. Zack was able to utilize his computer science skills and abilities to the fullest extent. The young man's life changed even further as he manifested special abilities like his sister Amy. Something which only served to draw him closer. For the next year, Zack would continue to grapple with his job at Ark Industries while living his life and coping with his special abilities.

Sample RP-
Zack awoke violently to the resounding sound of his alarm clock. Deeply, Zack breathed inwards as he wiped the beads of sweat that had formed upon his brow during his slumber. Although he had been out west for sometime, he still found himself unable to become accustomed to the hot, dry weather that flourished within the Western part of the United States. It was nearly time for Zack to get ready for work. Although he enjoyed his job, Zack was not very fond of getting up early and begrudgingly moved accordingly.
With a slight sigh, Zack began to stir from his bed and stood upon his wooden floor. Slowly, Zack began to stretch his body by performing a varying selection of stretches that released a good amount of tension from his legs, arms and other parts of his body. Feeling a little more awake, dropped to the floor and began his morning regiment of exercises by starting with push ups. With each descent closer to the ground, Zack smiled and breathed deeply as he pushed himself back upwards. Although he didn't really like waking up early, beginning the day with a few exercises helped him get started and become a little more awake.
Upon hastily finishing his slew of exercises, Zack moved to the bathroom. Immediately, he turned on the shower faucet and allowed the water to warm for a moment. While he stood within the bathroom impatiently, Zack massaged the back of his right knee and felt it soothingly. His bursitis hadn't been acting up this morning, and Zack was rather grateful for the momentary peace, thus far. Quickly, the young man focused his attention back towards the shower and practically jumped into the water. Swiftly, Zack bathed himself and promptly turned off the water and returned to his bed room where he threw on a pair of his more comfortable jeans and a nice button down shirt.
As Zack finished getting dressed, he eyed the alarm clock which signaled him to move faster than he had been. Hastily, Zack collected his phone, wallet and car keys, and made his way towards the door while grabbing an apple on the way out. While Zack moved down his drive way he eyed one of his two beautiful vehicles. Although Zack simply adored driving, he loved driving his 1988 deep blue Corvette even more. Slickly, Zack slipped into the driver's seat and was on his way down the driveway and nearing the highway. With a smile on his face, Zack knew what awaited him and loved it. As he turned his vehicle onto the expressway, Zack could hardly help to chuckle as he let his engine roar and began to weave in and out of traffic on his way to work at the Ark Industries.
With an easy commute, Zack pulled into the parking lot in record timing and speedily exited his car, not before locking it securely. Smoothly, Zack walked into the lobby, his apple in hand, and smiled, which soon turned into a frown as he eyed the elevator door closing ahead of him. Although he didn't mind the walk up the stairs, it occasionally aggravated his bursitis, so if he could prevent it at all, Zack definitely would attempt to do so. Hurriedly, Zack moved towards the closing elevator and called out to the young woman residing inside. "Hey! Hold that door, just a second, please!"
