Name: Zrykani 'Zagi' Hryan Yusokani Kiriya
Age: 32
Trainer Class: Delinquent
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Mahogany Town
Residence: Rustboro
Story Affiliation: Team Aqua
Rival Gender and Starter: Male and Torchic
Appearance: Zrykani is fairly tall, standing perhaps an inch short of six foot, and while he isn't skin and bones, he is somewhat scrawny and definitely more wiry than filled out in build, generally clocking in at only one-fifty weight wise. Overall he has very pretty features, if a little rough on the edges, his smooth pale skin complemented by his grayish light brown hair. Keeping his hair short, long bangs spill carelessly over his forehead while in the back his hair stops at the base of his neck. Thin serious eyebrows lie just above his cold pale purple eyes, and his icy irises seem cold even when glittering in careless amusement. His lips and thin but expressive, familiar to both sneers and sly grins. Each of his ears is pierced and adorned with a small round red earring.
Moving down to the whole, Zrykani has shoulders on the thin side with long arms and bony elbows and wrists. A small waist leads to only minorly thicker hips, and his legs are long as well. While his lack of mass on him leaves him a bit lacking in brute strength, Zrykani more than makes up in agility. Wiry, he is plenty strong, and quite acrobatic and very athletic and fit. While perhaps he seems like a just a pretty face, he actually is trained and toned, his reflexes lightning and his reactions instant. Often he wears either very loose or form fitting clothes, a simple pair of old jeans and a faded t-shirt complete with leather boots and belt with arm wraps often works in the warmer seasons and come the colder times he switches to a greyed cloak and black form-fitting leather attire that covers him neck to foot with a mask to pull over his mouth and extra wrappings around his elbows and knees for protection. He also generally prefers this second of outfits when doing things not as much approved by the common public eye, finding it much sleeker and fit for roguish actions.
Personality: Zrykani is brutally honest. He believes very much in survival of the fittest, and while he fears no law of man, he does hold friendships in high regard if they are well made. He completely disregards most ideas of morality, finding right and wrong to often be foolish concepts that merely cloud the judgement. What matters most is survival and strength. Rules are constructs created to keep you safe, but all they do is give the false assumption of safety. They provide no protection from the harsh truth of reality, and so Zrykani finds it no sin to break law, code or creed if he feels the need. Sometimes cynical and often quite blunt, Zrykani is very straight forward about his opinions. His attitudes tend to vary from cold and uncaring to a little light-hearted and friendly, and while his way of thinking is somewhat brutal, he has no loss of humor or self for it. His genuine emotions are a bit harder to tell though, and he sometimes has a hard time expressing them. He's charming and can sometimes have a way with words, but often he is cold to those who are after him, and often acts in mixed ways to those he finds attracted to.
While Zrykani holds to the dog eat dog attitude of the world, that doesn't mean he is unwilling to help others. If they are willing to fight then he is willing to show them how, provide them the supplies and the first few steps. But he does not hesitate to let those who are weak suffer, showing them what their actions bring them. And to those who are ignorant in the belief that their world is pure and good, those to he aims to teach the truths. The world of pokemon is dark. It is a world of beasts. And those who are not strong will fall behind and suffer for it. Those who are blind to the whole truth and see pokemon only as tools or only as friends will find that they are wrong. Pokemon are the tools of creation, the means of destruction. It is more than companionship, more than usefulness. Zrykani is happy to show others the harsher truth, and unafraid to play the villain. He is no betrayer, and his heart holds no lies, he is simply true to what he believes. And among beasts, there are no rules, only the strong and the weak.
History: Zrykani was born in Mahogany Town, a quaint little place full of odd suspicions and rumors of ninjas and stranger. His family were outsiders who had moved into the place fairly shortly before he was born. Even as a kid he was a bit strange. He had an odd sense of humor, and was somewhat dark. Not to mention that while he was rarely the abuser, his idea of what was wrong didn't seem to involve people getting hurt. Those who were weak would get bullied. Those who tried to stand up and take their place would only make themselves weaker. It's how it worked. Zrykani was also quite the leader among his peers, and many willingly followed him, often taking up his idea of the strongest survived and the weak didn't. They were a little more harsh about it, but he never cared.
Still, it was clear to those adults that the kid needed to go. Already he had gained a following of their own, and amongst such a small place, what he was doing was huge. He was a bad influence on their own children, and as a teenager he was no better. He shrugged off authority and punishment, and slowly those under him began following. Taking the initiative, they forced him to leave, and with an amused shake of his head, he disbanded the gang and left.
Zrykani didn't go very far, but the difference in location was still huge. Only on the other side of route 42 and Mt. Mortar from Mahogany town, Ecruteak City was much bigger and much older fashioned. Simplicity was present in all of it's structures, wood and stone much more common than metal in the buildings scattered about. And towering over it all were the remnants of the Burned tower and the great Bell tower. Glancing the towers over, Zrykani quickly settled in, using what charms he had to fit in. It was somewhat dull for a bit, but before Zrykani would consider moving on he happened upon a not so sober man in an odd uniform at the theater. Convincing him to step off the stage and stop harassing the dancers for the moment so he could talk to him, Zrykani's curiosity flowered. Seeing the young man's interest in the organization, the grunt became all too happy to explain about Team Rocket.
Investigating the group, Zrykani made a short sojourn to Goldenrod. When he returned, he was a representative of Team Rocket acting from the Ecruteak City as a contact. He studied the tales of the legendaries, watched the political changes and events around and within the city, and was a go between for cities farther out or other new recruits. And he did more than his fair share of missions and jobs, even acquiring an old dagger which he put to great use. He was deadly efficient, and had no trouble avoiding emotional connections. He even made a name for himself. Taking the nickname Blanc Wolf, he was respected and feared among those in Team Rocket in the Johto area.
Still glory doesn't last. Especially among organizations like TR, something always happened. Zrykani was even ready for it when it came. Sure enough, authority finally got it together, and law enforcement cracked down. It was a hard hit, and much of the group suffered. If he hadn't been ready for it, the Blanc Wolf himself would have fallen easy prey. But by the time he tracked him, he was long gone. Dropping his nickname and taking an alternate first name, Zagi became a wanderer for a few years following. One thing leads to another, and it so happened that as of late his newest destination among his travels was a region known as Hoenn. Things were happening in Hoenn, and he knew from back when the TR rings ran that some newer misfits were gathering up. Zagi decided it was time to try his luck again. And this time with a partner he could trust. Strength required leadership. And it was time he made himself a team loyal to him. Zagi the trainer. Not a bad idea eh? And perhaps when it came, Zrykani the Blanc Wolf would reign again, holding fear and sway in his title. Perhaps. But patience first.
