As the title says, this is my entry into the personal plot contest.
It involves Anduras (character chain in sig), hunting down and killing the man who killed his parents, and cursed him years ago. He also seeks to remove the curse marks that keep him from following the curse. By killing Azarius, the curse will lift, then he can find a way to remove his marks. This character, plot and the like once belonged to a fantasy book series I was writing, but gave up on for lack of muse. Hopefully this will give me the muse to go back to writing it. Anyway, a little backstory for you.
So will you join Anduras' quest to end Azarius' dark reign over his homeworld? Will you help slay a god, so that others may be safe? Will you help defeat the Heartless that he controls? For Azarius is no longer content with just one world, and he seeks more.
Or will you join Azarius in hopes of gaining a place of power in his so called new world order? Will you fight alongside the Heartless in hopes that one day, they may be yours to command? Will you be the one to kill Anduras, and save Azarius the trouble?
OOC:
Now I will allow as few as four people to join, and up to twelve max. I would like both sides to have people, so just because you only have one bad character doesn't mean he/she can't join Azarius' side. I'd also like to point out that only one character per person (meaning Homac can't have let's say Fio and Demyx join, or Rocket have Sienna and Vexen). If I get enough people who want to join this, I may increase the number of allies per side.

Also, I have yet to post an Azarius profile as many of you will figure out. Azarius for most of the plot will be a NPC, meaning he has no specific powers or the like. Whenever he appears (or fights), I will post a list of abilities you will see, what they do, and how strong they are. Stuff like that. You may or may not see an ability more than once. He will become a character later on, and for the final showdown, will have a set of abilities and the like. More information will be released once I get enough people to run this plot, and later once the plot is in motion.

Anyway, a little backstory for you.
Centuries ago, a man named Azarius became the leader of the Azar Empire. His father had founded it with his brother, and in an act of betrayal, killed his brother, and took his half of the empire. Azarius' father, Arkaus then began the age of the iron blade. An era in which military might was the only point of concern. Anyone who was old enough to fight in the military (that being 19) was required to join. Anyone who tried to avoid this was killed. Those with magical affinity were required to train in the ways of magic, and to become some sort of spellcaster in the armies that Arkaus had formed. But once Azarius was born, Arkaus began to change. He became softer, and spent less time on the battle field himself, and more time with his family. Once Azarius was 19, his father fearing his son's death changed the law so that his son would not have to fight. The council, a group of six, seven if one counted Arkaus, met in secrecy, without Arkaus. They decided that if one man was not required to join, then no man would. They brought this to the attention of Arkaus, and he refused to change the law again. He ordered them to drop it, or to face death. And so, the council had Arkaus killed.
Azarius after finding this out, sought to avenge his father's murder. He killed two of the council members, and attempted to kill the others. But before he could, he was cursed so that he could not use magic. This made him weak in comparison to the council, and as such, they exiled him.
300 years later, he returned. He had regained the use of magic back, and was far more powerful than he was before he was exiled. He slaughtered anyone who was a council member and wouldn't bow down to him, and butchered anyone who was a descendent of one of the council members responsible for his father's death, and his exile. He then took up the title of the Azar Emperor, and rebuilt his armies. When word traveled to him of a young boy, around the age of eight, had an affinity to magic, one that with proper training could rival his own some three hundred years ago, he left his throne, and after disguising himself as an old man, traveled to take the boy and teach him. When his parents refused to let Azarius take their son, he turned into a Chimera and killed them. He would then place a curse on the area, forcing anyone to come and fight him. Anyone who ignored the curse would die. Fortunately for Anduras, a strange woman had placed mystic marks on him, which prevented such a thing, but gave him eternal youth. Removal of these marks would bring back the curse, and he'd only have about half a day to live, at the most.
After decades of training, Anduras left the world he was training on, in search of a way to beat Azarius. But not long after he left, the world he trained on, which had gone by the name of Hollow Bastion for some time, had fallen to the Heartless. He traversed the worlds, killed many a Heartless, hoping to find some power, some weapon, anything that could help him kill the Azar Emperor. For rumor had it, he was now a god. So now he would need to seek power equal to that in order to best Azarius, or at least to make him weak enough to fight on equal terms. And killing Azarius, would be the death of a god. One who had control of Heartless, and may very well have been one himself.
