Name: Zasu Kuriar
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance: Zasu is of average size, around 5' 11". He has slightly messy brown hair, looks like he just got out of bed, but the tips are dyed blue, so you know it's a hairstyle. He has cold gray eyes, but a friendly expression. Skin slightly pale, but not unhealthy. He is a bit skinny, but it's not really noticable. He always wears a rider jacket like this:

Personality: Zasu is pretty easygoing. He is just fine with anything that happens, never seems to get worked up. He dislikes fighting, unless it's for a good reason. If he is guarding something important other than himself, he will stand up and fight. If he himself is threatened, he just sits back and remains calm. He will only do what is necessary to prevent himself from dying. His laid back personality has gotten himself in trouble more than a few times, as he speaks what's on his mind, without regards for whose feelings they hurt. Everytime, though, he doesn't mean it, and apologizes afterwards. He loves to explore, and is always looking for a new place to go, and new species of pokemon to study. Officially, I guess you could say he is a Pokemon researcher, but he is so carefree, it's hard to tell. Still, he knows a fair few about Pokemon as a species.
History: Zasu grew up in a very poor household, with only his mother. His mother used to be considered an expert on Pokemon along with his father, but Team Obsidian destroyed the lab where his mother was working. His father was killed, and his mother was the only survivor. She ran and took Zasu, who was six then, to another city. Since then Zasu's mother had a hard time getting ahold of a house. She was finally able to get some money that Zasu found somewhere. Zasu said someone gave it to him, but what really happened was Zasu pickpocketed from one of the richest guys in town. Zasu got away undiscovered, but still felt guilty. Zasu and his mother slowly lived a poor yet comfortable life, then Zasu's mother fell ill. This is when Zasu was 13.
His mother spend her last 3 months at home, teaching Zasu everything she knew. At the end, she said, "Zasu, my dear, I love you so much. Use the information I gave you, and become a successful Pokemon Researcher." She gave him the ring, saying it was a gift from his father. She died 2 days later, and Zasu, unable to fend for himself, had to live on the streets. He stayed strong, knowing his mother was depending on him. He barged in a nearby city's lab, and asked to become an intern. He, of course, got rejected. He ran out in the nearby forest, and found a woman studying Shroomish. This woman was wearing a lab coat, so Zasu started telling her everything he knew about this species, as it had lived close to his second house. She was impressed, and decided to take Zasu in out of kindness. Zasu has been working/living at the lab since he was 14.
