Zeru

ZERU
Ambitious | Introverted | Deadly
______________________________________________________________________

Zeru is, for want of a better word, the psychologist of the clan. His back is riddled with oily black patterns, although they all look suspiciously like holes, and no-one can quite look at them without feeling a severe sense of disorientation and confusion.

Sharp and cynical, Zeru believes in nothing but what he sees. A medical genius, he knows what's wrong with you before you even step in through the door, based on intuition alone. Despite this, Zeru is also a firm believer of following tried and tested methods, so will improvise his own techniques based on all the factors he knows. He will then name this technique, often slipping in puns that only he would understand, referencing his old books and finding his own humour ridiculously amusing in his own mind.

Zeru has the ability to move the markings on his back at will, and used them to conduct ancient evaluations he refers to as "Rorschach tests". Although initially considered useless, Zeru has adapted the technique, incorporating an ability he calls the "Hindsight Technique". The procedure begins with the client simply describing what they see in the shifting patterns. As time goes on, and the client stares deeper into the symbols, they will fall into a trance, and Zeru will have full control over them. Zeru only ever uses his powers to help people, despite his vicious and cynical disposition.
However, should the need ever arise, Zeru can, has and will use his ability to protect the clan, gathering information from enemy hostages and using them to destroy gangs from the inside out.

Even though he is, for the most part, deadpan and sharp tongued, Zeru does seem to harbour genuine concern for his patients.
What little respect he has for his fellow dragons, however, dissapates conpletely in the heat of battle or when he is threatened. In some ways, he is the biggest threat to the clan there is.

Additionally, he shares Seraphinite's love of chocolate, and often keeps a box with him when he's performing his evaluations. His favourites are dark chocolates. He also loves making references to his beloved books and tests, and takes great enjoyment in naming his various practices, almost as much as he enjoys testing and making them.
