[hider=Zane Bismuth][center][b]Name[/b]: Zane Bismuth [b]Age[/b]: 16 [b]Gender[/b]: boy [b]Appearance[/b]: [img]http://orig08.deviantart.net/1f03/f/2015/082/c/0/pokemon_trainer_luke_by_ravenide-d8mtjd8.png[/img] [b]Personality[/b]: is a young man that is reserved, genuine, and smart. Unlike other heirs and heiresses of wealthy families, Zane is a kind person and has respect and empathy for other people, despite their race or their past. he is very smart when it comes to many topics like the history of pokemon or pokemon typage himself, and so he has confidence in identifying pokemon and their types. He prefers to be a person that would end an argument and help reach an agreement between the parties involved. Zane likes to either be alone or with his pokemon, however that won't stop him from having a nice conversation with someone. Though, he doesn’t trust people as easily as others. He's afraid that they will either disappear like his parents and his brother did when he was younger or he doesn’t want to be betrayed by the people he trusts. If he does get mad, but not furious, he would end an argument or battle, give a glare and walk away to not make a scene anymore. Once he can trust someone, he will begin to show his true self to his close friends. Zane is a strong willed, social and loyal person that will protect his friends and help them when they need it. [b]History[/b]: Zane was born and raised in the city life of Lumiose, to a mother whom was a fashion model and a father who was a fashion designer. His brother, Dante, was 5 years older than him, and between Zane and Dante, Dante was the obvious favorite. With each passing year, the gap between this favoritism would slowly sink into Zane's mind. As his parents took Dante to work, dressing up the boy and having him appear in various magazines, Zane was left with rather crude babysitters, neglected and often feeling as if there were something more to life than what he was feeling. And as he flipped through the channels on the TV when the babysitter often fell asleep, he came upon a channel dedicated to pokemon battles. They were intense, they were inspiring, and most of all, they made the day easier to get through with something to look forward to. Each day he'd tune in to that channel, studying every ounce of video that poured from the screen. He loved the passion that went into each battle that he saw from the elites themselves, continuously awed by what they did. And while his connection to his family decreased, his desire to journey Kalos grew. So when his family finally allowed him to get his own pokemon, he jumped at that decision, eager to leave the place that didn't want him in favor of a new life that would.
