<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">3)Characteristics

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Background:

Zal Mano is from a fishing village along the Vacuo coast, where his family runs a small but profitable salvage operation, recovering wreckage from ships destroyed by creatures of grimm. Due to the danger inherent with their work, all members of the Mano family are trained to control their aura and carry salvage tools that can be used as weapons should the need arise.

In Zal's case, he elected to train not just in basic combat, but to pursue a career as a huntsman. In his youth, he befriended Lapis Honu, another resident of his home village who also aspired to be a true warrior.

When the boys were 9, a trade caravan stopped at their village for a few weeks, which is when they met Kanika Rutto, a rather impulsive young girl who had been trained by her mother to be a huntress for most of her life, and the three agreed to enroll in Shade together.

By the time the trio reached the age of 17, they had changed their goal; rather than enrolling at Shade, they elected to travel the the southwest and attempt entrance to Harbour, an academy built for the sole purpose of combating aquatic grimm. Zal and Lapis, both having trained in aquatic combat, were natural fits; while Kanika quickly adapted.

During initiation, the three of them met up as planned, while Kanika had been partnered with a youth by the name of Tyson. Together, they become team Lazurite under Lapis' leadrship.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Personality:

Tends to be extremely grumpy in the morning, as he prefers it late at night when the sun is down. As an obligate carnivore he becomes physically ill after eating produce and as such avoids fruits, vegetables, and grains at all cost. Does not play well with others, and tends to act meaner than he is to get people to leave him alone. Tend to be at his friendliest when Lapis is around, or in the evenings.

Due to his somewhat aquatic nature, Zal has a great love of the water, and will spend much of his free time swimming, particularly in deeper water, as well as going hunting for fresh fish. As a faunus, he lacks the typical night vision of the race, instead possessing electroreception that enables him to hunt effectively underwater.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Likes: fresh fish, swimming, Lapis

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Dislikes: fruit, vegetables, grain, dairy

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">4) Trivia:

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Notable relationships:

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Lapis Honu: his best friend since childhood.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Kanika Rutto: the only female on team LZRT, and another long-term friend

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Tyson Terrell Jr: fourth member of the team. They got off to a bit of a rocky start, but they are on more or less amicable terms at this point.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Notes: I am considering having him be gay for Lapis, but given he is already a somewhat angsty albino shark it might qualify him for special snowflake status.
