A ziyak isn't someone wears ripped leather jackets, a ziyak isn't someone who breaks stuff to look tough, and a ziyak isn't someone who fights for the fun of fighting. That's the definition of a poser. Being a ziyak is completely different.

Unspoken Rules of Being Ziyak:

1. First rule of being a ziyak. A ziyak does not talk about being a ziyak. Period.

2. Second rule of being a ziyak, a ziyak does not try to be a ziyak or look tough. A ziyak simply is a ziyak.

3. A ziyak stays true to themselves, always. This means being themselves for themselves, and not being fake to impress others.

4. A ziyak does not give up. Ziyaks will always push themselves for the better, no matter how hard it gets.

5. A ziyak is not a jerk. A ziyak does not prey on the weak, and shows kindness in return to those who are kind.

6. A ziyak knows his limits. Don't be stupid, you're not Superman, you'll die if you jump off a building.

7. A ziyak does not make enemies or go looking for fights. They do not fights that aren't worth fighting either.

Any breaking of these rules is grounds revoking of the status of being a ziyak. If this happens, a ziyak must once again prove they are worthy of being ziyak by following the rules. A ziyak can only be determined by the opinions of others.
Poser Jock: "Look at my muscles, I can bench 250lbs, I could knock any of you b/c I'm so ziyak!"

Ziyak: "Alright. Prove it."

*Poser Jock makes a beeline at the Ziyak and throws a punch that misses the Ziyak, and ends up hitting the wall.*

Poser Jock: "Oww, my hand!"

*Ziyak throws one quick punch to the gut, knocking the Poser Jock out cold."

Nerd #1: "Look, he punched that poser jock out! He's such a ziyak!"

*Ziyak says nothing*

Nerd #2: "He's following rule number one, he's definitely a ziyak!"

*Ziyak says nothing again*
