 * Background:Zal is from the same fishing village as Lapis, however rather than being a pearl-diver, he was raised in a family that operates a small-scale salvage operation, meaning he is used to working in deep water, his natural affinity for open oceans and ability to stay submerged without additional equipment for breathing makes him a valuable asset during offshore missions.
 * Position/Class:scout(rogue)
 * Landing strategy:(really struggling with this one. I mean, how the fuck am I supposed to make a shark land when launched out of a catapault?)
 * Weapon:Mako(HPSC, High-Pressure Salvage-Clamps) a pair of pneumatically operated pincer-style weapons attached to motorized arms on a backpack style mount, the weapons are worn/wielded by lining up iwth his own arms and grasping a handle with a button on the end. the backpack component also possesses a sea-scooter type functon for propelling him through the water at high speed.
 * Since Mako was originally designed for salvage operations, tearing open and moving wreckage, it has been augmented with multi-form hands, meaning the standard clamps can reconfigure into claws, cutters, and hooks. these features are further augmented by a lightning-dust pearl embedded in the core of each hand, allowing for energized attacks.
 * Semblance:enhanced electroreception, allows him to sense the bioelectric fields of all organisms around him. while typical aura senses do not function to locate Grimm, electroreception  does, meaning it is exceedingly difficult to catch Zal off guard.
 * Fighting style:grapples with smaller enemes using the augmented strength from the servo motors in Mako's arms in conjunction with the claw and hook forms of the hands. unable to fight larger enemies on the surface, however he is quite adept at fighting mid to large sized aquatic grimm.
 * Relationships:
 * team LZRT:as the team leadr puts it "Once a bro, always a Bro."
 * Notes:Zal is a persian name, meaning albino, Mano is a hawaiian word meaning shark. based on a grat white shark
