Personal Life

According to the pseudo-official Sunbeams twitter account, they "know twelve martial arts and none of them are good".

Sanders is well-known for their unique tornado-style windup and delivery, which tends to cause sandstorms on the field. It is unknown if this has anything to do with Sanders' last name, or if the presence of the word "sand" in both the name Sanders and the word sandstorm is purely a coincidence.

Zack was an avid sunflower seed chewer according to multiple teammates.

Zack remains dedicated to their practice of the martial arts despite their transformation, and have even benefited from the change. They are now on track to excel at one martial art and be no good at only 11 of them. Which martial art is currently unknown, but Zack has confirmed that they are 'totally killin' it'. Zack is also a member of the Hellmouth Beautification Society, as their half-plant status makes them somewhat of an expert on what plants need in order to thrive in the Hellmouth.

Appearance (Helioanthropy)

Zack underwent a dramatic transformation sometime in Season 2 or Season 3.

Multiple theories as to the nature of the change have been documented:

Some speculate that after the Book was opened in Season 2, and the resulting transformation of the Moab Desert into the Hellmouth, Zack also was transformed.
The more supported theory is that in Season 3 when the events of the Blasphemy took place and The Peanut appeared, Zack was evaporated as one of the perpetrators. The Sunbeams assumes an incineration took place, but were confused by the lack of a new player joining the team.^[1] During the next inning of the game a sunflower sprouted and rapidly grew from the clothing, and began to play.

The Heliotary, specifically the Children of the Bright Light, have issued this statement regarding the transformation: “The Sun took pity on Sanders. Using Its glorious light, it imbued the single remaining sunflower seed resulting in Sanders being reborn in Its image.”^[2]^[3]

Zack’s head is constantly pointed towards The Sun when during the helioanthropic transformation.

According to game records: Since their initial transmogrification, Zack can be found in either their original human form, or their allegedly Sun-gifted floral form. Which form they take seems to be directly influenced by their level of vibes, with higher levels bringing forth their full sunflower power. Naturally, Zack likes to practice the many meditations they have learned during their studies of twelve martial arts to 'bring out the bloom' as they refer to their transformations.

The Photosynthetics Sect of the Heliotary has taken a special interest in Zack's helioanthropy, even so far as certain members attempting to recreate the rumored circumstances that began the process. So far there have been no successful results.
