Darkness Claw: Crosses swords in front of his body. The blades glow before he hurls them out to the side, releasing an X shaped blade of energy. While the enemy is dealing with that he moves in and strikes nine times, ending with an upslash of both swords, which strikes the energy blade and detonates it into a wave of darkness.

    More & More: Video game junkie Xander figured this would be one of the easiest techniques to pull off from a favorite RPG. This is also one of his quickest attacks, since he simply slashes up and to the right (crossing his body), then crosses down  and slashes up and to the left. The two slashes create an X-shaped blade of energy, and he says, “Die!” before stabbing forward, sending the blade at the enemy. As the blade strikes the target it splits, and Zandarius shouts, “More and More!” while striking a dramatic pose with his sword pointing at the ground behind him.

     Astral Drain: A good way to heal yourself and your friends is taking your enemies energy, and that’s exactly what this move does. Zandarius vaults into the air and lobs one of his swords at his target. The sword sticks into the ground at his target’s feet and glows. The glow encompases the target as the drain begins. The energy is then transferred to Zandarius, who purifies it within his own body before channeling it to his comrads. A wave of light encompasses them, recharging them as he lands gently. He then recalls his sword to his hand.

     Dragon Cutter: Harnassing his rage, Zandarius charges at the enemy with his no datchi drawn and ready for attack. An overimage of a dark dragon forms over him, and the dragon rears its head back as Zandarius vaults into the air and swings his sword. The dragon appears to belch forth a blade of dark energy, which is created by the sword swing. Several smaller blades follow the first, and all strike the enemy. If the target isn’t utterly destroyed then it’s left hurt and bleeding severely.

     Dark Light: A simple energy blast technique. Zandarius stands with his feet shoulder length apart and his hands above his head, palms facing. A magic circle forms around him as energy sparks and collects between his palms. When the energy globe is the size of a beachball he brings his hands down in front of his chest and shouts, “Dark Light!” The resulting energy wave oblitterates his target or severely weakens it, depending upon its size.

     Xander, short for Alexandrian, has lived in Kyoto for his entire life. He’s about four years older than Kintara, and works at the same grocery store as she does, except he’s full time instead of part time, since he graduated high school and is taking some time off before his junior year of college. He had precognitive dreams for weeks before he met Albarsis and was given the ability to transform into the magical warrior called Healer Zandarius.
     Xander’s parents are both quite successful - his mom running a deli and noodle shop downstairs from their apartment, his dad a stock trader for a large company that makes computer components.
     His one major problem is his mood swings, which stem from the trauma of seeing his younger brother Raine hit by a truck four years prior. He’s in counseling and is on three antidepressants and a triple dose of St. John’s Wort, but even those don’t seem to keep his mood steady all of the time. His brother didn’t die, but is currently in a coma that he hopes will end soon.
     He’s loyal to his friends and to his work, which he might be heard and quoted as saying, “Sucks at times”, but he usually loves it. He’s generally fun loving, but sometimes takes things a bit too seriously. If he’s having a really bad day then he makes sure to warn people to stay clear of him and not get on his bad side (warning = threaten with a sound pounding or drop kicking). If he gets into trouble he acts cute, bats his eyes a lot, and exudes sweetness and innocence. He’s got the bosses eating out of the palm of his hand.... most of them at any rate. When not working or in school he can be found at the local video arcade, blowing some of his paycheck on the dance video games, or at a book store picking up the latest medieval fantasy novels.

     Usual apparel - baggy jeans or cargo pants, T-shirts with band logos or anime characters on them, colorful Hawaiian style shirts (usually with dragons on them), and sneakers or combat style boots. Black and green are key colors as is dark blue. For work he usually dresses nicely, but wears his “butt kickers” as he calls his boots, since they clump around when he walks, and he likes that.

     History as Zandarius - Gained his transformation the same day Kintara did and hasn’t looked back since. He gets great joy out of punishing the forces of evil.

     weapons: no datchi and long sword, boomerangs.

     transformation - bracer of gold and silver with a large black gem forms on his left wrist, and this he holds aloft. The gem glows and a bubble of darkness envelopes him. His body is visible in the bubble as it glows. A moment later the bubble shrinks and explodes, leaving him in his armor and holding the long sword.

     As Zandarius - wears black boots, with black violet armor on the shins, tight black pants, black chest and hip armor with intricate gold detail, shoulder armor with large blood colored gems set into them, and a crown of black with blood red gems and a dark purple visor.
