Ezekiel is never late, he arrives preciecely when he means to... and that generally means 10 minutes before any agreed upon time.
Being late is something he hates, this hasnt stemed from any experiences or situations, this is just smething he realised over time. Being late just puts you on the backfoot for the rest of the day... And for somebody who is damn good at his time-management, you can bet being late puts him in a bad mood and at a frantic pace to get back on schedule.
That being said, because he's always early, you can always rely on him to be there when he says he will be. Middle of the night, or day, it doesnt matter, if he says he's doing something then you're damn right he's doing it. Always good to have around when youre in a spot.
Zeke isnt one to entertain very often, he generally has a few close friends and doesn't really branch out from them, he's content with that...maybe not hapy, but content. By no means is he anti-social though, he just finds it easier.
That being said, when he throws a party, or hosts a dinner, you can be sure to a warm welcome and a plethora of food and drink. He wont ask you to pitch in and he wont ask you to clean up, you're there for some fun after all.
Even a one night stand gets treated to a full breakfast before they leave, should they want it.
His work and life have made him far more receptive to the wants and needs of Pokémon more than people and will more often than not prioritise helping them rather than a person in need, unless youre a close friend or a colleague.
Its just easier to deal with Pokémon than it is people most of the time.
This comes across evidently when he's working and somebody brings in their Pokémon in a real bad condition, oh does he flip and let them know it... He might get bad reviews for his rude people skills but you can't question his work...besides, those people deserve it.
He can get quite sarcastic when he wants to, or if he's in a bad mood, or if its first thing in the morning and he hasnt had his coffee or gotten laid in a while. Generally, he's a pretty sarcastic guy all the time... Mostly in jest, but in a bad mood he can get mean with it.
History:
Born and raised in Lavaridge Town, Hoenn...there was hardly alot to do...
Mountains on 3 sides and the only exit lead to...another mountain. Wow, amazing.
It was, without a doubt, the greatest place to live if you like rocks....Zeke does not like rocks. Rocks are boring.
Much to his fathers dismay, a Geologist and the reason they lived up and around Mt. Chimmneyand the Jagged Pass to begin with. Zeke had no interest in his Fathers work and no Mother around to learn anything else from. Because of this Zeke was often just wandering around the Town and getting into trouble and being a general nuisance to the other people living there. It was a small Town too, so that was a small list of people to annoy.
Around the age of 12, he came across an injured Tyrouge that lived in the nearby Mountains by the Jagged Path. He began to steal berries from the Town in order to feed and heal the Tyrouge, it was the gratitude this Tyrougue displayed that made Zeke feel good, giving him a sense of purpose and a drive to do more. He began to hang around the Pokémon Center more and more, as he got older he volunteered to work there around his school work. He learned alot from volunteering and this helped get his grades higher and higher as he focused his studies onto Pokémon Care and Biology.
At the first opportunity, Zeke moved away from Lavaridge Town to study abroad.
Zeke's never really been what would call a 'people person', but in college he found people he got along with....ssssort of, well it was still kinda fun. The biggest issue he found was that no matter how much he tried to enjoy a night out with them, how much he drank or used other substances...nothing got him drunk or anything close to it.
Damned ability ruining his fun...
With no outlet, well he just buried his head in his studies for the rest of his time in College and University.
Honestly it was more boring than being back in Lavaridge Town...
But with his high grades and still volunteering at local PokéCenters in his spare time, he was hired as an Apprentice as his first job and learned a multitude of techniques that books and studies just couldnt have shown him.
By the time he was 26 he was a fully pledged Vet with a Doctorate and moved to another region once more, being in charge of his own surgery within the PokéCenter and spending several pretty happy years working there. It was a fulfilling job, being able to save lives and keep families from losing a beloved pet.
They were happy years, for sure, but he still felt unfulfilled...not in his job, but in life itself. He didnt really have one to speak of, so... Once more, he looked at moving away from everything and everyone he knew here.
And wouldnt you know it?
A town in another region with no Pokemon Care specialist at all? If nothing else, it couldnt hurt to apply, right....?
