ZUBERI -Dominion-
Zed (Phase 3) - Lollipop Chainsaw
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Specie: Terasaur
Physical Description: A brown dragon with dark-red markings all over and a pale underbelly. He has wild indigo hair with a mohawk straight down the middle (and a red heather-shaped lock), a large red horn in his forehead, a couple of dull little spikes on each shoulder and hind-leg, and four large spikes around the tip of his tail. He wears a couple of bracers (studded with purple and red gems) and a black choker. His chest has a rather ornate tattoo.
Personality: He does the "tough guy" act well, but is willing to drop it in the presence of the young ones. He cares deeply for kids, and will gladly stand in their defense when the time calls for it. Many times, he's gotten requests to join royal guards, but he turned them all down for some reason.
History: Something else awakened when the dragons of Ryuga were restored from memory fragments - Gorbis, bug-like phantoms that were intent of devouring all life on the planet. Zuberi stood up to these pests, leading a charge to flush them out. He's since held out in an old fortress in the Sangras area, protecting the young dragons. However, four of the kids managed to sneak out, forcing him to go out and get them back. He runs into Damian at this time, joining the battle to save Ryuga from certain doom.
Equipment: His pride and joy, the Hendrix. It looks like a cross between a mic stand, a guitar, a huge javelin, and a spiked club. With this, he can wail on foes over a wide area and smash them about like midnight lightning.
Abilities: As a Terasaur, he has a great affinity to earth oneirites, manipulating rocks in various ways. He can also use Hendrix's mike to turn his voice into energy bursts in specific points. He's very agile on the land, while being a somewhat decent swimmer and able to resist extreme temperatures (to a degree).
Other: N/A

- White Noise: Triggers a tune from his mike, casting a shockwave around that stuns foes struck.

- Crystal Roar: Lets out a yell (with the letters crystallizing around), creating a noise blast that sends struck foes sliding along the ground.

Trivia
- His name is a Swahili name that means "building".
- His specie name, Terasaur, comes from the Latin roots "terra" (earth) and "saur" (lizard). The root "saur" was also used because Terasaurs were most like dinosaurs, an early inspiration for the lore of dragons.
- His instrument projection is actually the amplification of music from Hendrix, which is much like a bass guitar.
- The flower-lock in his mane resembles a heather flower, which symbolizes protection.
- The kanji symbol on his chest means "earth".
- His weapon is indeed named after Jimi Hendrix, one of the greatest electric guitarists in pop music history.
- Hendrix's ring of spikes is based on the clubbing mic stand used by the Dark Purveyor Zed in Lollipop Chainsaw. Incidentally, Zed is also the inspiration for Zuberi's "letter shout blasts".
- The move name "Roxxor" was actually used by the Earth-element Esper Hashmal in Final Fantasy 12. It was a basic attack that involved launching a rock forth.
