Rias is relaxed and cool. He always sports a cold demeanor and a calm look that seems to never fade. He likes to periodically nap at random times of the day whenever nothing interesting is going on. Due to his normally carefree attitude and appearance people tend to overlook him. Which is how he likes it. Preferring to be behind the scenes rather than in the spotlight.

In his eyes people and pokemon are steps to lead him further of the ladder. So he is always scheming, always a step ahead in the works of things. Rias is something like a playmaker, he enjoys having his hands in every aspect of a plan in order to manipulate others towards the endings he desires. Doing so in such a way that those manipulated don't necessarily notice until afterward as he plays people by their motivations to move them according to his symphony yet by their own will. Its a game he enjoys quite a bit. However, for him to properly do this he has to actually know the people he manipulates, thus he is no stranger to playing the nice guy role in order to warm up to others. Though his knack for pranking others by deception or telling harmless lies tend to draw attention away from his more serious quirks. Rias has a tendency to simply deceive others for entertainment. instigating confrontations and spreading bad rumors are mere ways for him to past the time with a smile.

When he isn't making someone's life filled to the brim with drama and confusion, Rias has his head in the books. Checkbooks that is, other people's checkbooks. To the point, he is focused in the livelihood he inherited from his mother, hunting rare pokemon. He likes the challenge of hunting down his targets and capturing them. Seeing them as trophies to display his skill and fill his pockets. When dealing with his trade and those on the wrong side of the law, he can let loose and breathe allowing the snake that he is truly come forth. Rias holds a philosophy of worth that he gained from hunting on his own ni longer under his mother's wing, that people all had a certain worth to them. People were not equal, there was the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, there was always a line. Rias seeks to fulfill his own self-worth by any means necessary, thus he wants strength and wealth together to prove himself to be on the higher end of the spectrum.

Although Rias is a pokemon hunter and uses a lot of questionable methods that in his eyes are normal, by the guidelines of his work, he only sees pokemon other than his own as tools. Well, his pokemon are indeed tools to him but they are his tools and he takes care of what is his.

For as long as Rias could remember his life had been steeped in the underworld. The dark dealings between shady men and women of various organizations were common and normal in his young eyes. With his luck, he had been born out of a fling between a pokemon hunter and an ace trainer. Not too long after his birth whatever spark that had led to him being born had extinguished between the two. As a result, he never really knew much about his father save for the curses and slurs his mother tagged on to his name whenever he asked about him, but he somewhat had gotten the gist of the situation. Being an Ace trainer, his father obviously traveled the majority of the time and no longer having feelings for his mother the man had simply gone back to that life. Of course growing up fatherless had some effect on the young Rias, however, with a strong-willed mother like his it didn't last long.


Raised single-handedly by his mother, Maria, Rias didn't have a normal childhood being the son of a pretty decent pokemon hunter and all. Maria didn't want her child to grow up weak and emotional, so she left coddling out of her parenting style. She wanted him to grow up to be strong, independent, and capable of coming out on top in life, like her. With that in mind, she decided to bring Rias into the fold of her job as a hunter. So when he was old enough his training began. First and foremost he was taught in how to properly deal with people. Maria had intentionally brought him around some of her shady acquaintances in order for him to learn how to deceive, steal, and intimidate. It was hard in the beginning as some of the lessons were quite physical and taxing. Though the young boy took quickly to what he was taught, with zero question about the morals of what was going on. This was more attributed to his ignorance as a youth and that simply living such a life eventually turned them into his laws of how things worked in the world. They became all he knew and the only tools he had to survive with, that is until he finally got into the actual practice of his trade.

As time went by Rias grew familiar with his mother's contacts and connections within the underground. He had progressed to the point of aiding her in business deals where she would barter for tools, bait, traps, and information. Maria had even let him take the fore on discussing the price in a contract for tracking and hunting down an Abomasnow. The charge would include fees for all the equipment and supplies used in the capture, and although he had sealed the deal in their favor, his mother stated she could've driven the client higher. This hinted that he was getting better but still had a lot of room to grow. Things went like this for some time with his mother continuously teaching him the ropes; how to track, how to subdue, and how to trap. Hunting a pokemon never truly guaranteed it would end with a pokemon battle, some clients wanted their pokemon unharmed physically, emotionally, or both. Which of course cost more as it required more tedious methods such as drugged bait or shock nets. Whatever tool he might need, he was instructed of its use and how to properly apply it in the right situation. Such treatment of pokemon would normally get shocked looks but this was a reality of the world. When rich young children wanted really rare pokemon they cried to their wealthy parents who in turn came to hunters, though almost never in person. Rias had at one point brought such acts up to his mother but was told to toss such ideas aside, this was how they made their living. Pokemon were nothing but tools of their trade. She didn't need her son talking like his father.

- Kanto Region, Fuschia City

Soon the time would come for him to take out a contract alone. To prepare himself for this and for fun, Rias entered himself in a local pokemon capture contest. The goal was to find and catch a pokemon and bring it back to be rated by the judges who were somewhat famous pokemon breeders. Beforehand he had initiated a meeting with a client who specifically wanted a shiny Fearow that had been spotted in the area. Despite knowing what his client wanted and what his target looked like, he had gathered data on the area and what pokemon usually made their homes nearby. On the list, he had spotted Venonat as a resident species and decided on his second target. Before heading out he packed some bug pokemon bait, scent eliminator, a shock net and a couple pokeballs. Tracking down one of the purple puffs of fur turned out to be tougher than he thought, either that or his information was wrong. There seemed to be little to no tracks of a venonat in the area, no trail of prints, signs of marking territory, not even any calls. It didn't make sense to the young hunter. Till he finally heard a cry that resembled that of a venonat, quick to catch sight of his prey he bolted in the general direction it came from.Soon he arrived at a wide clearing where a single tree stood in its center. Underneath at its base was a small venonat clearly on edge as it jumped at the sight of him.

Taking a closer look at his surroundings, Rias' gaze fell upon a golden Fearow perched at the top of the same tree. It would seem the natural cycle of the food chain was currently in play. Looking back at the Venonat, he quickly formulated a plan to capture both. Setting down his pack, he fished out a handful of drugged bait and a single shock net. Not wanting to gain the Fearow's attention he slowly lobbed the bait over to the venonat encouraging it to eat. He had no idea if the mon had been there for a long period or not but on the off chance it had been, the success of his idea would be more likely. The purple puff took notice of the bait and sniffed cautiously before its tiny paws rushed the bait into its maw. Now all Rias had to do was wait, the Fearow didn't seem to be going anywhere for a while. Sure there were other prey but he was so close and it was a sure thing if it left the tree. After a couple minutes the bait seemed to take effect, the bug pokemon seemed to be unbalanced and stumbling about. Luckily, it had stumbled out in his direction and the Fearow had taken notice. Now the prey was his bait. Rias readied the net. Then with a loud screech, the avian pokemon was off and in a dive for its lunch. With a quick toss and some luck, the net was thrust between the disoriented bug type and the fearow. Instantly the net would go into effect and produce a shock to further subdue his target. With his prey now within grasp he pulled out two pokeballs before capturing the Fearow, but as he proceeded to catch the venonat it had clumsily made its way over to his leg and slumped there. The sight was pretty funny to elicit a laugh from the hunter, then with a grin, he captured his future partner.

Rias had forgotten about the contest and instead made contact with his client about the contract's fulfillment. Not long after, he had called home to report to his mom and let her know he'd be going out solo to get better at the job. At that, she mentioned a region he should visit to make his official start, the Stellara region. She had a connection there that had his hand in a local organization that ran the underground there. He was off.
