- Pretty Boy Appearence. Zane is far from 'rough around the edges.' He is always very presentable in appearence. His clothes are always neat, whether that be his shirts tucked into his trousers, or his ironed shirts and trousers. But don't let this appearence fool you, because he isn't just any pretty boy. He can hold his own quite well.
- Intelligent. All those years of independent reading have obviously paid off. When he speaks, it is obvious he is well educated and has quite the class to him. Although people may assume he is stupid because he is popular and hangs out with the popular kids, he could probably out-argue everyone. He prides himself on being intelligent, and doesn't like being referred to as otherwise.
- Popularity. Having the combination of fortune, good looks and confidence does have its perks, that being popularity. Everyone knows who Zane Sebastian Edwards is, and if they don't, they are living under a rock, or something. Everyone wants to be his friend. There is nothing wrong with many friends.
- Physically Fit. He does enjoy keeping himself in great shape, mainly to maintain his good appearence, but also because he enjoys being healthy, and it definantly helps him when playing sport to be well prepared.
- Confidence. Zane is extremely capable and strong in the charisma department. He has confidence in who he is, and what he believes, and won't let people tell him otherwise. He isn't afraid of speaking out or talking to a complete stranger.
- Motivated. He is motivated to do something 'big' with his life and become someone. This is what drives him through each and every day, the knowledge that he will become someone when he finishes school and that no one can stop him from achieving the greatness he seeks.
- Determination. He is rather strong-willed. There isn't much people can say or do to stop him from acting a certain way, because he prides himself in his beliefs. When he sets his mind on something, there is very little turning back.
- Natural Charm. He is able to whirm in the ladies with no difficulties at all, mainly because he knows all the right things to say to them. Even when meeting him for the first time, he has a certain innocence about him which makes him adorable. To those he wants to be adorable to, of course.
- Rich. Isn't this being in the 'strengths' category obvious enough? Money brings happiness, even to Zane. He is able to buy nice clothes, accessories and expensive things for girls which make them want him more. Life is grand, really.
- Seductive. Like his natural charm, Zane knows the right things to say to get what he wants. If he wants a girl, he knows how to get her in just purely from his words. He has a real 'sexy' tone in the back of his voice which he has been complimented on numerous times, possibly due to the mix of French accent combined with his American accent.
- Physically Strong. Zane regularly plays baseball, with some football on the side. He also works out regularily, and does boxing classes in his free time. Lets just say this young man knows how to throw a mean right hook!
WEAKNESSES
- Fear of Rejection. Zane likes everything about him being perfect, and therefore he can't stand being rejected, for whatever reason. Being rejected shows him that he isn't good enough, and needs to improve, somehow.
- Perfectionist. Everything has to be right, for Zane. His clothes, his hair, the date with the girl, his class notes. Everything. He cannot stand anything being out of order or sloppy. It really tends to frustrate him a little too much.
- Uncontrollable Anger. Although nobody has witnessed this side of him, he does have a side of him which is extremely aggressive and unpredictable and uncontrollable. It takes a lot to really get him angry, but when his father is mentioned, that really starts him off.
- Being One of the Crowd. Although sometimes Zane dislikes the things he does, he feels like if he does something out of social order, he'll be an outcast and his friends won't accept him because of it. He feels he needs to maintain a certain degree of 'rudeness' in order to maintain the popular lifestyle.
- Torn. Sometimes he feels like he is too intelligent and hard-working for the people he hangs around with. On the other hand, he feels like the hard working and intelligent people are all geeky and nerdy. He doesn't know where he truly belongs in the social demographic.
- Living Up To His Father's Expectations. This is extremely difficult to do, as his father tends to never be impressed or proud of anything his son as done, since his mother died. He does try extremely hard, however to no avail. From an emotional standpoint, it takes a huge toll on Zane from time to time.

- Friendship. Zane doesn't recognize many people who he can refer to as 'true friends.' Most are fake, and just hang around him because of the popularity, social networking, or fortune. He finds it hard to be himself around these people, and therefore has difficulty finding real friends.
- Playing Sports. Although he isn't generally a sporty person, he plays baseball as a frequent sporting game. Baseball, because it is a no contact sport where he won't end up with a messy face or dirty clothes.
- Drawing. This is his relaxation time, where he has the most peace and composure. He enjoys drawing whatever comes to mind, and is actually a rather good drawer, able to draw mostly anything which is put in front of him, in extensive detail too.
- Reading. Like Drawing, this is his relaxation time. He doesn't advertise this like in fear of being laughed at or humiliated, but he really enjoys reading books, because one can learn so much from them.
- Meeting New People. He enjoys meeting new people because its a chance of forming a new friendship, not a fake one, and possibly even a love interest.
- Romance. Zane is generally the romantic type, though tends to act this way to get a girl into his bedroom, or hers, whichever is more convenient. He is a romantic at heart, however, liking to impress the people he goes on dates with and show he has class as a man.
- Trust. He likes being able to trust someone so much, and have the same kind of thing in return. He doesn't feel like anyone really has his back entirely, and this is slightly depressing. He wants someone who he can open up to, and trust that they won't care.
- Nice Clothes. This is how he makes his first impression on people, and deems this as the same that he would expect from them. He doesn't like people who dress sloppy, and takes the same into consideration when dressing himself. Nice clothes make him feel adequate.
- Working Hard. He wants to make something of himself and have a good name, therefore puts 110% into everything he does. As he is a perfectionist, things have to be perfect.
- Impressing His Father. Although mostly unsuccessful, he never gives up the hope of doing so. He always excites himself when he gets a good mark to show to his father. He wants to be a man his father can say he is proud of.
- Parties. He enjoys hanging out with friends at bars, or even house parties. Its a perfect way to meet other people, and just socialise and kick back. He deserves that, doesn't he?
- Sex. He loves the thrill of it, and the amazing sensations that surge through his body. It is an amazing experience, especially with someone worthwhile.
- Cars. He does generally enjoy talking about cars and looking at them, but he also enjoys working on them. He is excited about when he is able to drive, he will be able to show off a pretty awesome car that he has worked on.
- Drinking. He enjoys going a bit 'wild' but generally doesn't overdo it to the stage when he makes a fool of himself.
- Music. Who could survive without music? He loves listening to it, even singing to it when no one else is around, of course. Music is a gateway to the soul, as he likes to think of it.
- Videogames. His a dude, of course he likes videogames! Although he doesn't have much time for them, he does try to get in a little time for them.
- Travelling. He wants to experience the world, and enjoys when his father takes him for trips to the hot spots around the city. He really enjoys them, and its somewhat of a good bonding experience with his father.
DISLIKES
- Bad Attitudes. He doesn't like people who give him attitude or are rude towards him. Do they just have no respect for who he is, or something?
- Assumptions about Him. People seem to assume that just because he hangs out with the 'cool' crowd, that he is thick-headed, and stupid. That is far from the truth, and he would love nothing more than to prove that to the doubters.
- Getting His Hands Dirty. He isn't exactly a 'man's man,' in this instance. He doesn't particularily enjoy getting rough or dirty, preferring to remain neat, tidy and professional. He has class, after all.
- Negative People. He doesn't enjoy people who bring others down with their mood swings, or just negative vibes or pessimistic views. If they aren't going to enjoy their own lives, they have no right to ruin the enjoyment for others' lives, as well.
- Rejection. He believes he shouldn't in anyone's right mind be rejected, but like anything, it happens. He just isn't willing to accept, nor like that fact. Why would people want to reject him?

Zane Sebastian Edwards was born into a upper class family, who have never experienced problems with finances. His father is a marketing director of a big franchise in Miami, dealing with the hospitality industry; more particularily, hotels. His mother was previously a creative writer, however when Zane was born, she became a full time mother for him. He was an only child, therefore garnered all of the attention, with no one to fight him for it. That was, apart from his father. He would come home after business trips, and would be more interested in 'getting intimate' with his mother, than spending time with him. Although this hurt him at such a young age, he always cheered up when his father would tell him that he would make something of himself, and that he would be proud of who his son had become. However still to this day, Zane fails to recognize this promise.
His mother died in a car accident when he was eight, when his father took them for a day-trip around Miami. They had previously been arguing about the lack of time he spent with her, and his son. He decided that he would prove to them that he had time for them. She survived the crash, however died when in the hospital. Zane was also lucky to have survived, as he did sustain damage to his heart, which took countless months of surgery to overcome. Still to this day he has the scar on his left side on his chest, which is quite visible. However he has no heart problems. Since then, his father had never been the same again. He became very distant from Zane, keeping to himself most of the time. Zane at such a young age never really understood his father's mourning process, until he became older. He then understood that his father felt guilt for what had happened, blaming himself for what had happened. It was through this observation that Zane also begun blaming his father for what happened. If he had of spent more time with them, they wouldn't have argued, therefore his father wouldn't have had to prove himself by taking them on a trip.
He still didn't see much of his father, instead his father hired an expensive nanny to take care of him. He liked the nanny, she was always nice to him and made him feel like he had a mother. But he knew it wasn't the same, and he missed his mother every night, crying himself to sleep. He hated that the only person who seemed to care about his feelings was the nanny. Despite this, he still wanted to prove himself to his father and live up to his hype of him becoming something his father would be proud of, one day. His extensive reading of books forced him to learn about different things, giving him broad knowledge on the world and its attitudes, and people. He also begun to draw in his time, noticing he was actually pretty good. He did send some of his drawings from his father, who didn't seem to care. He decided to critique the drawing on possible improvements, rather than actually compliment him.
Through school, Zane maintained popularity, when his father forced him to undertake sport at a young age. He did become really good at baseball, which was the reason he was popular. Although he enjoyed this, he felt like it was a bad excuse for his father to participate in his life. He just wanted his father there so he could talk to him, not bribe him with gifts and money. He didn't have many close friends, only the 'fake' ones who he truly believed weren't really his friends.
His father's appearences became more and more distant, only choosing to send him cheques in the mail. It actually angered Zane that his father felt that cheap bribery would flatter him, or make him continue living like everything was okay, when it clearly wasn't. Contact with his father became even less distant when he found another woman, who Zane didn't like. She appeared to keep him even more distant from Zane than he previously was. His father also showed less care in his well-being than he usually did. His marks suffered extensively as a result of his emotional shift, where he couldn't even get into a decent college. This angered his father, as he felt like his son had failed him and was unworthy of all the hype he gave him as a child. Zane snapped, knocking his father out. His father basically 'brought him out', giving him a shit load of money as his inheritance, and walking out on him. He chose not to press criminal charges.That was the last he spoke to him. He moved to Sunnydale, as this was the closest place with the low score he needed to get into a university course. He wasn't happy about the decision, but any fresh start away from his father seemed like a good option to choose. Maybe the people wouldn't be so bad here, either? At least thats what he hoped.
He managed to scape an entry score into a paramedic course. He did want to be a doctor, but he could work his way up. He would study there, while also, as part of the criteria of the course, he needed to fulfil one of the subjects he had failed. Therefore he needs to attend Sunnydale High, twice a week, to undertake the subject.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
He will probably start off with that 'cool guy vibe' seeking people who want to actually be around him for who he is, not what he brings to the table. Possibly a romance? xD Long-term, not really sure what I'll plan for him, but It'll be interesting!
