Jericho the Lizard is a frill-necked lizard heralding from Downunda. Wielding the incredible power to create and manipulate crystalline structures, Jericho has been framed as a criminally insane war criminal by corrupt officials in an attempt to gain access to the source of Jericho's powers.
== History ==
Born and raised in a small rural town on Downunda, Jericho lived a rather normal life for a Downunda inhabitant, exploring the local area for fun and excitement. He would often explore the nearby caves, making a game out of taking and mapping new paths through the caverns, always expanding his collection of maps and knowledge of the area. Over time Jericho was actually capable of memorizing the tunnels in the caverns. As such, he would often use these caves as his own personal playground and hideaway.
However, one day Jericho's home town suffered a severe downpour that nearly flooded the town, and likewise flooded the nearby caves. As soon as the flooding subsided, Jericho took the opportunity to explore the caverns once again, to discover what could have changed because of the flooding. Sure enough, many areas had been flooded and eroded, closing many pathways. But as he explored deeper, Jericho found something unusual; a brand new cavern that had not been there prior to the flooding. Ever curious, Jericho followed the new tunnel to see what lay within. Following deeper and deeper into the cavern, Jericho was just about to turn back when he came across a strange gem...

== Appearance ==
Jericho is a Mobian frill-necked lizard, with a mainly bright lime-green body. The most distinctive marking on his person is the thick blue stripe that goes up his back from the tip of his tail to stopping just short of his nose. His eyes are slate grey, while his muzzle and lower body are pale peach. His most striking features are his crystallized clawed hands and forearms, which are blue in coloration with a lavender hue, with clawed feet of similar texture. For attire, Jericho wears a long-sleeved purple shirt that conceels his hands with a black sweater vest and similar black jeans that like his shirt, are long enough to partially conceal his feet.
== Personality ==
== Abilities ==
As a lizard, Jericho has the natural ability to withstand and increase activity in areas with high temperatures. In warm areas Jericho is capable of above-average speed and reaction time. Cold temperatures have the opposite effect, making him slower and more sluggish. As a frill-necked lizard, Jericho is capable of unfolding extra flaps of skin on his neck in an attempt to intimidate enemies. Mixing this in with a high-pitched primal screech makes for a surprisingly effective intimidation method. His crystallized hands and feet also make for effective melee and slashing attacks, while his long tail is capable of being used for lashing strikes. Due to a large amount of time exploring caverns and mapping discoveries, Jericho has an excellent sense of direction and an instinctive capability of recognizing and memorizing landmarks. This makes it difficult for Jericho to get lost even in new territory.
Jericho's greatest ability, however, is the ability to generate and control crystal constructs. While mystic in nature, Jericho's powers can be explained scientifically as an "energy to matter conversion" technique; by creating a basic form or "sketch" out of easy-to-manipulate non-physical light energy, Jericho can solidify it into a form of hardened crystal. Jericho can control and affect any crystals within the range of 500 meter radius. While Jericho cannot alter the shape or form of his crystals once solidified, and must revert them into light form. Jericho is capable of controlling when and how fast light turns into crystal and vice-versa, which allows Jericho to send projectiles of light through objects (as disconnected particles and/or radiation waves) then solidify it into crystal, making most defenses vulnerable.
While his crystals are physical and non-malleable, Jericho can use his light-matter conversion to form a variety of melee weapons, as well as launching many projectiles of numerous sizes and at varying rates of fire. Further attacks include sending the light energy through the ground for it to erupt from the ground and impale opponents. Defensive measures such as creating walls and barriers are also possible, and due to being harder than diamond his crystals are nigh-impenetrable. Jericho's signature method of defense is unfurling his frill, followed by coating it and his head in solidified crystal, resulting in an indestructible "head on defense".
The weaknesses of Jericho's powers are few, but noticeable. The primary weakness is the requirement to first form a shape out of light energy. While this can be done quite quickly, it nonetheless gives perceptive opponents time to attack or a warning of what Jericho intends to do. As this starts off as light energy, it also makes stealth in dark areas absolutely impossible unless his attacks are very small so as to be impractical. Finally is the fact that repeated state conversion in order to dispel or alter the form of his crystals. While individual transversions take little energy, repeated use can take its toll over time.

*While similar, Jericho's powers are not part of the elements, and as such does not fall within elemental advantages or disadvantages.
