Zaro Moves and Stamina

Zaro's power is living spark light. Warm, bright yellow, and alive.

Important rule: Zaro has limits. If he pushes too hard, he crashes. We call this Glow Burn.

Power States (Color = Life Meter)

State	Color	Description
Normal	Bright Yellow	Stable, playful, capable. Dome is strong.
Tired	Dark Yellow	Strained. Can still act, but weaker.
Near empty	Gray-Yellow	Almost out. Dome flickers. May shake or collapse.
Overdrive	White-hot Yellow	Rare surge. Electric sparks fly off him.

A warm yellow barrier around himself or a small space. Used for defense and rescue.

Cost: Holding it drains him.

A burst wave that pushes danger away. Not a killing move — it creates space.

Cost: Big pushes drain stamina fast.

A protective boundary around his home base. Looks like a large dome field.

Cost: If Zaro is weak or sad, the dome weakens too.

Glow Burn happens after too much output.

How it looks:

Why it matters: Zaro is powerful, but not unlimited. This makes wins feel earned.

When Zaro is at his lowest — gray-yellow, dome nearly fails, world begins to dim — he writes: NOT OVER.

This acts like a defibrillator shock. He snaps back to full strength, then surges into Overdrive.

Important: This is not random rage. It is a mental choice. His brain ignites the spark.

Later, Zaro will learn:

Breathing helps calm him. But the spark comes from the mind.
