Zechariah Obadiah

"Even believers in Christ get persecuted, so what's the difference?"

0 · 488 views · located in The Lake house

a character in “Out”, originally authored by ZacharyTC, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Age: 18

Orientation: Straight

Looks: Zechariah has brown hair which falls halfway down his neck. His attire usually consists of blue jeans and long-sleeved button-up shirts, for a simplistic demeanor. He does not believe in showing off his appearance, which means he rarely goes for anything elegant, if at all. No tattoos are found on his skin, since he knows they are impossible to remove unless a professional does it surgically. Being nearsighted, Zechariah wears a pair of glasses that are circular and rectangular at the same time. His almost-tan skin has a few blemishes, here and there, but is mostly smooth.

Personality: Zechariah is generally an accepting person, not wanting to make the mistake his parents did when it came to judging. He is willing to help however he can. After all, God's glory cannot be shown without serving others.

History: Zechariah comes from a "Christian" background, if you can call it that. The only problem was, his parents' fruit did not show it. They were too zealous for him to even come close to calling them true followers of Christ. Everytime his mother and father came across someone who did not uphold certain tenants of Christianity, they would look down on him/her with a legalist mindset. The entire scenario reminded the young man of the Pharisees mentioned in the New Testament. No matter how many times Zechariah reminded his parents of Matthew 7:3-6, he could not convince them to think about their own faults. It eventually got to the point where he got kicked out of the household as a so-called "heretic", just days after he graduated from high school. He forgave them for it, but decided to travel around, sharing the Gospel wherever possible until he found a place to place his sleeping bag at, that being the Lake house. The hard part is being accepted by the people residing in it. However, he feels that, as his first name implies, he is "remembered by God", who will be with him as he adjusts to his new life.

So begins...

Zechariah finally reached the rumored Lake house. It seemed as if someone with a load of cash lived in it. However, he knew this was a place for misfits and runaways, like him. Before walking towards the porch, the young man, age eighteen, prayed the prayer from the New Testament:

Our Father in Heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.


He finished the prayer with, "Amen." Taking a deep breath, he walked up to the door and rang the door bell. Let's see how this turns out.

Maxx heard the door bell and walked to the other side o the roof and looked over to see who it was. "The doors open. Come on in!" He yelled down to the person ringing the door bell. "And off the record, I didn't even know this place had a door bell." He added with a smile then went back to the other side of the roof.

(Oh! sorry about that! Doy! I'll improvise by having him realize that just now.))

Zechariah nodded and opened the door. As he went inside, he noticed a couch and sat on it. Wait! Wasn't that lady talking to me earlier? Man, I feel stupid!

When Zechariah heard something about going up to the roof, he got up from the couch and looked for a way to climb up there. Maybe they are going to watch the sunset. When he finally got on top of the roof, the young man brought out his Bible and began reading Galatians, a reminder of how the legalist mindset will not be tolerated in the eyes of God.

Maxx smiled to himself and put his hands into fist and put his fists on either one of his sides standing there for a moment like Superman. Then he turned to Danny. "Let's go out your window." He said as he walked in her room and opened the window. "I'm Maxx by the way. That's M-A-X-X. Maxx with two X's." He added, stepping out of the window like a pro. 
Danny looked a Maxx like 'what the hell's wrong with you' as she watched him go to the window and step out. "Okay, Max-x. I'm Danny. That's D-A-N-N-Y. Danny with two N's." She said with a slight laugh and walked up to the window and climbed out. She saw some other guy with red hair climb out of his window and almost fall witch, of course, made Danny laugh a little. Then she looked around and found a place to sit at the top of the roof. Maxx watched Danny go and sit down and he looked around and saw some kid with a bible. "You believe in the stuff?" He asked the kid as he sat down in front of him.

Zechariah nodded. "Always have. Unfortunately, my parents were zealous in their faith, looking down on anyone who did not uphold certain tenants. No matter how many times I reminded them to look at their own faults, as well, they would not. It eventually got to the point where they disowned me after branding me a 'heretic', days after my graduation from high school. I do not see how I could have committed heresy, though, since I pointed out Matthew 5:43-48, Matthew 7:1-6, even the entire Book of Galatians to prove my point to them." He closed the Bible and looked in the other young man's direction with a half grin. "I'm Zechariah."

Maxx had a blank look on his face as he listened to what the boy had to say then he blinked a couple times, not really understanding a word he said until he said his name. "I'm Maxx." Maxx said excitedly. "That's Maxx with two X's." He added with a smile and looked around at everyone who was up on the roof. Now it looked like Danny was the only one sitting alone. 
Danny was sitting further up on the roof where she could see everyone. She was holding her knees up to her chest and her hood was still on. She watched as some blonde boy made his way over to the red-head that had almost fell off the roof before. For some reason, it made her smile a little. She looked around at everyone else and saw Maxx with a bible boy, witch seemed weird to her. Then she ended up just staring at the blonde and red-head from her place up on the roof. They seem weird. She thought as she slowly shook her head.

Zechariah nodded. "Nice to meet you, Maxx!" He then noticed a girl sitting by herself, watching. He waved at her. "Hello, there, miss! How are you, this evening?"

Danny looked over at the guy that was apparently waving and talking to her. "Okay..." She said a little confused. Maxx looked up at Danny as Zechariah waved and talked to her. "I don't think she's a people's person." Maxx said to him, trying to say in loud enough for Danny to hear. But Danny ignored him and turned her attention back to the blondie and ginger. She could tell they were planing something, but had no idea what. Danny just narrowed her eyes slightly. Note to self, keep your eyes on Blondie and Ginger. She thought, taking the mental note and giving the two guys nicknames in her mind. "Yeah, she ain't a peoples person." Maxx added shaking his head slightly as he stood up. "We should all play a game." He said loudly enough for everyone to hear.

Zechariah shrugged. Well, I'm sure most of you went through something worse thyan I did... When Maxx suggested a game, Zechariah asked, "What kind of game?"

Maxx looked at Zechariah when he asked what kind of game. "How about...a team game! Sort of like capture the flag or what ever." He said looking at everyone. "Here. Is anyone up here pregnant!?" He said looking at Danny, her being the only girl up there at this point.
Danny looked at Maxx with a disgusted look. "No!" She said back to him a little angrily. "Okay then!" Maxx said with a smile. "You can run!" He added. "What we'll do is pick two captains. I'll be a captain and..." Maxx said then paused and looked over the people. "And Theo can be a captain! Alright Theo?" Maxx said as he made his way over to Theo and stood by him as he looked at him.

Maxx gasped a little. "You don't know what capture the flag is!? What's wrong with you man!?" He said in a slightly sarcastic, but ecstatic voice. "Capture the flag is when two teams try to capture a flag and bring it back to their base. The first team to get the flag into the ground at their base wins." Maxx said with a smile. "And we're not playing up here, silly." He added. "We're gonna take this to the ground level." He continued. "And I did not storm off to go dry in the house! I just got out of the water because I think I had swallowed a gallon of water and maybe a small fish or two!" He said a bit angrily, his hands slightly curling into fist and eye's slightly narrow.
Danny was sitting there watching the whole thing and was laughing her ass off when she saw Maxx getting mad then she looked at Theo. "Hey, Blondie! Don't let Tat's there talk to you like that!" She said with a big smile on her face. I smell a fight coming on. She thought with a big, slightly evil looking, smile on her face and was trying to hold in her laughter. Then she saw the red head climb off the roof and decided to follow him.

Zechariah decided to keep on reading his Bible. It was nice outside. Why spend the evening indoors, except when it gets too dark to be out? This is going to be a... colorful time here, to say the least. It's better than no home, I suppose...

Ash:
Biting her lip, Ash sat up, "I'm Ash... just Ash." Everyone had always asked her if it stood for something, but her mother had just named her Ash, as if she were predicting how much of a failure she would be compared to her sister. Most people, however, never asked her name, or even talked to her. Something about her seemed to make people not want to talk to her; she didn't know what. She couldn't see him, so she shifted her tiny body to an angle she could see him from and smiled. "What are you reading?"

He held the holy book up. "An NIV copy of the Bible. My parents kicked me out because I kept referencing verses from it to remind them to look at their faults as well as that of others. They claimed to be followers of Christ, but their fruit really did not show it. They lacked compassion, unconditional love, which is crucial in a true disciple's life."

Sammie:
Giving a small chuckle, Sammie nodded, popping some chips in her mouth, "Yeah, well, I shouldn't be eating so fast or Imma puke. You know that right? Not to eat too fast after not eating for a couple of days or else you'll puke non-stop? Supprised me the first time." She closed her mouth. Rambling, she had been rambling.

Drew:
Hearing voices, Drew made his way to the kitchen, but he didn't walk over to the table, he just stood listening. Sammie saw him and called him over to the table, so he sat down in the middle of the boy and the girl... Sammie and Maxx, he thought. Then he managed to speak for the first time to them, "h-Hi..." He bit his lip and looked down at his hands. How could he always make that much of a fool of himself.

Ash:
Ash blinked at him, trying not to stare. She grew up in the south, all pagents and God. She knew of Christians. Everyone said they were "Christians", but she rarely ever saw someone actually reading the Bible, let alone ever acting out anything the pastors had said for them to, even the pastor himself. Ash wondered if this boy was like the pastor; who would read and speak of this book, and then come and lay with her sister after, or do the things he would to girls even younger than Ash herself.

She could tell she was judging, so she bit her lip and tried to ignore the fear she felt at the moment, "Well... It's their loss... "

"I know. I forgave them for that." He noticed Ash's attitude change, which made him concerned and lose the smile he had. "Are you okay?"

Ash:
Ash nodded, pulling her lip under and biting it, then she adjusted herself, "Yeah, I'm fine... It's nothing, I grew up in the south... everyone there is "Christian." " She smirked and looked down at her feet. She was still wearing her pajamas that she had on when she left home. It seemed like so long ago. Then she realized that if he had told her why he was here, she should tell him, to be polite. "I'm here cuz..." Why was she here? She would have run away in the next few days anyways, it really had little to do with her mother's death, " Because my mom died last week." She nodded and then looked at the roof above her, not directly at the boy who sat on it with her.

Zechariah figured he should have seen that coming. "That must have been terrible for you. I can't imagine the trauma from that. She must've cared deeply for you."
