timestamps/verses.

//obviously, Zach's hair plays a huge role and it's the easiest to divide the timeline using, well, his hair colors. if, for any reason, this timeline doesn't work for our thread and Zach's age should be adjusted differently, I might simply switch to Underetmined. I'll probably put this somewhere below his bio, but his timeline goes like this:

UNDETERMINED

self-explanatory. used mostly for AUs, open starters and/or memes.

MAYBE I SHOULD DROP OUT OR DYE MY HAIR&CHANGE MY NAME

Age 22-24; shoulder-length&brown/bleached&short. | his brother just got married and moved out. Zach stays in the same building they grew up in, but moves a few floors down, to his own studio. he's made a few games and just discovered who he'd like to work with in the future. making a good portfolio to impress his future employer becomes a goal he begins working towards. he starts experimenting with his hair and his first attempt could have been more successful. lesson learned.

AND BABE I FADE TO SILVER; SILVER BLUE

Age 25-27; longer&silver/silver&baby blue. | Zach starts getting recognition for his work. he finally gets hired by his dream company, where he starts working on a new project. his grandpa gifts him his '69 Ford Mustang, which lets Zach enjoy off-the-grid trips more often. regarding his hair journey, Zach accidentally uses the wrong toner and ends up with blueish hair. of course, he does the only right thing – dyes it even more blue.

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO STOP FEELING THIS BLUE ANYWAY

Age 27-30; shoulder-length electric blue/sometimes slightly faded and/or with purple strands. | after a few years of hard work, the game Zach usually refers to as "the big deal" gets published (Outlast series for reference, keeping the name in cases where the game's title should be mentioned) and it's a huge success. Zach goes back to working on solo projects when he has free time. it is also when he finds a Blue Heeler puppy and, after two weeks of fruitless search for his owners, decides to keep him. he names his new hiking partner Doom Slayer.

YOU WERE RED AND YOU LIKED ME 'CAUSE I WAS BLUE / YOU TOUCHED ME AND SUDDENLY I WAS A LILAC SKY

Age 29+; a private verse for AU ApoZach reserved for @scftmvses where ships don't die tragically.
