Description DO NOT REPOST/STEAL/TRACE!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------

Four things before you start reading this:

1. I've written down my headcannon for proxy characters and Slenderman himself. However I will refer to him as the Operator in the references though.  Link to my headcannon.
2. All my Proxies have some sort of mental illness. I believe that this makes it much easier for the operator to posses and recruit them, as I stated in my headcannon. 
If I did not portray the mental illness correctly just comment down below. I did try my best to portray them correctly.
3. I also added more information about them being a proxy.
4. If you have read the previous refs I do want ot mention that I changed the relationship with others a bit, by adding less characters but more info about the relationship.

Disorders:

  • Schizophrenia
 Serious mental illness in which someone cannot understand what is real and what is imaginary. This can make one paranoid and depressed. 
Zach's greatgrandfather was believed to suffer from this disorder, thus Zach inherited it from him. When he was younger he had much more trouble staying in reality, the older he got the more able he was to see what was reality and what was not.
  • Sleepwalking

Classified as a sleep disorder belonging to the parasomnia family.
Zach started to develop this after his encounter with the Operator. The stress and fear are probably what caused him to start doing this. In this state Zach just walks around, mumbling words and picks up objects to only throw them away. It is also very difficult to wake Zach up once he is in this state.


Weapon(s) of choice:

  • Sniper gun (prefers this)
  • throwing knifes
  • crossbow

Relationships

Family member(s):

Father: Joshua Bridge
Joshua was a strong and prideful man. He knew Miki since high school and has love her forever. it wasn't until the two cross paths again that they decided to date and eventually marry. Zach had a very close bond with his dad and has the exact same sense of humour. When he vanished Josh made sure that the school would someday close its doors and it eventually happened when other students went missing.

Mother: Miki Hyun-Bridge
A mother and wife who wants only the best for both her boys. Zach had a great relationship with his mother. She tried her best to make Zach happy and was willing to give him anything he wanted. She was devastated when her son vanished.

Pet: Taz (+link)
Zach found Taz as a pup in the forest. He decided to take her home and trained her to be his guard. She is very protective over Zachary.

Other relationships: 

Best friend/leader: Evan Clinton
Like Evan, Zach takes every mission seriously. The two share lots of laugh and outside of work like hanging out with each other.

Best friend: Cody Sambor
Zach met Cody at the school his parents send him too. The two could get along just fine and Zach actually thought Cody was cute. Sadly Cody was taken and started to feel unsafe around him. The reason was that he attacked Cody while sleepwalking. 
Even though his friend is a demonoid both still hang out sometimes.


Best friend: Marnix Connor
Like Cody and Dallon, he met Marnix at school. Marnix was the odd one out, but could make Zach laugh whenever he needed it.

Friend: Ricardo Rivera
Zach genuinely likes Ricardo. He helps him whenever he needs and is always listening to him. 

Short story

Joshua and Miki wanted to have a child for a long time. They were told that the chances were small for them to actually have one of their own. However against the odds Miki became pregnant. Zach was a kind-hearted, yet panicky little boy. His parents didn't think much of it, but it only got worse. At this time Zach had encountered the Operator. It caused Zach to have problems with any daily task or even sleeping. Not long after Zach started to sleep walk, waking up both his parents in the middle of the night. They were scared that he might hurt himself, so they would take turns keeping an eye on their son.

His parents decided that it would be safer for him to send him to a school who knows how to deal with this. In here he was given a sleeping schedule, medication and sometimes they hypnotised him. It did helped him for a while. He started to sleepwalk less and seemed to be less irritated during the day.

A few months went by and he started to feel as if someone was watching him, this made him feel paranoid. Causing him to ignore his sleeping schedule, refuse to take his medications and refusing to try hypnosis again. When the employees asked him what was going on, he just told them the truth that he didn't feel save anymore. The employees asure him that whatever he felt wasn't real and that there was no need to be afraid. Promising that they would help and protect him.

Zach dissapeared a few days later. The reason why and what exactly happened is unclear till this day.

Notes/facts
  • Zachary is Korean from his mom side and Caucasian from his dad side.
  • Zach had a huge crush on my other character Cody, the two met at the school. Till this day he still has a small crush on him.
  • He knows how to play the bass guitar.
  • I can imagine him being one of those people who just makes you smile no matter what.
  • He has problems that he sleepwalks, this is one of the side effects he has due being a sleeper proxy. In this state it is also way easier for the Operator to control/possess him.
