/APPEARANCE ➟
Physical appearance: At average height for his age - perhaps an inch or two taller – Zane stands at about 5’11. His is of average weight yet his build is lithe and slender, perhaps even a bit on the feminine side. He is Caucasian, his skin sporting a yellowish-olive undertone, and he has been told that his face has a heart-like shape to it. Zane has thin lips and big, piercing royal blue eyes that can see through anything fake. His hair is honey-blonde and stylishly sticks out everywhere and it reaches the nape of his neck.

Clothing and accessories: Despite the daily effort he puts into styling his hair, Zane doesn’t care much about what others think of his clothes. But he surprisingly has a very good sense of style – he knows what looks good on him, and what doesn’t; what he likes and doesn’t like. Normally he wears a red (actually its pink but he says its red) and black striped shirt with three-quarter sleeves. Zane also wears his signature blue, pink, & purple skull jacket (as seen in the picture) and red and black skull sweat-bands around both his wrists. On his lower half, Zane sports a pair of black skinny-jeans and a silver studded belt that hangs a bit lopsidedly around his waist. To finish off the look, Zane wears a pair of red skater shoes that are the same shade of red as the stripes on his shirt. Out of his right pants pocket hangs a long, black, braided-leather key-chain, but instead of keys, Zane keeps his pokeballs on the other end of the key-chain.
/HISTORY ➟
When Zane was little, his parents went through a nasty divorce and his father, David, moved to the Unova Region. So, Zane was raised by his mother in Cerulean, her teacher’s salary being just enough for the two of them to live a comfortable life. Zane had an easy time getting into the academy, and not just because his mother worked there. Zane was always a bright kid, and it especially showed in his school work and music.
Zane kept in contact with his father and went to visit him during holidays and such; although, those visits started becoming less and less frequent ever since David remarried when Zane was fourteen. (The woman David married had children of her own from a previous marriage, and it was clear Zane’s new step-mother favored them to himself.)
However, around that same time, while Zane was visiting his father in Striaton City during his summer break from the academy, he met Cilan, a Pokémon Connoisseur. Zane witnessed Cilan judge the compatibility of his step-siblings’ Pokémon and in that moment, Zane knew he wanted to become a Pokémon Connoisseur. Zane talked to Cilan, who agreed to mentor him and help him prepare for the test he would have to take to become a Connoisseur. Sheryl supported her son’s decision fully but David said that being a Connoisseur was worse than being a male Coordinator. Zane decided then and there to fully break off all ties with his father.
Zane took whatever chance he could to go to Unova and study under Cilan - and he avoided his father by staying at the local Pokémon Center. When Zane was sixteen, he passed the Connoisseur’s Exam and became an official Pokémon Connoisseur – granted he was only C-class with much still to learn. Zane began to work as Cilan’s assistant and decided that he would compare Pokémon's and it’s owner‘s compatibility to music, instead of food like Cilan does.
During his studies under Cilan, Zane also studied very hard at Bill’s Academy back in Cerulean, not getting in too much trouble and even managing to graduate in the Top Three of his class.(In fact he was actually number one, but only a single point – it's safe to say that whoever he had beaten out will be pretty angry with him.) Zane received a female Pikachu from Bill which he nicknamed Pie and decided that she would be his "premium brand".
/PERSONALITY ➟
Zane is a very witty and bright young man – quick to fire off the sarcastic response that gets everyone who hears it laughing or at least chuckling quietly to themselves. While he does have a temper, Zane is very much a gentleman; he’ll open doors, hold umbrellas, pull out chairs, the whole shebang.
Despite his bright and somewhat punkish attire, Zane is actually quite a calm and cool kid. He doesn’t care much of what other people think of him and is aloof most of the time. However, his peers enjoy having him around; because whether it be for a study group or a party, Zane just always seem to bring the sunshine with him…maybe it’s the hair?
Zane lives for music. He just loves the way it can change a person’s mind, mood, and heart in less than five minutes. To him, music can be found in and compared to just about everything in life – including Pokémon. He hopes the skills he has learned from both Cilan and the Academy have prepared him enough to face the journey ahead of him.
