Dark

Dark is a character in the Mark SMP. As someone who strongly does what he wants to do, Dark opened the Nether. He is a void being.

Appearance
Dark has a human appearance, but is abnormally dark. With relatively short hair, he wears a tattered pink scarf, a shirt-like suit, and black pants and boots. He also has dark wings.

Personality
Dark tends to be a neutral person. He prefers not to associate himself with large groups, but is not against a few people living with him. In normal cases he shows a relaxed and nonchalant demeanor. However, when life threatening problems are presented, or if a friend of his is in danger, he looks to solve them directly and strongly. Dark does not like to cause violence on people, and believes that it should only be last resort. However, if he absolutely needs to, he will fight people.

Before Dark regained his memories, he had a huge level of distrust with TenaCity due to the betrayal he experienced in the Nether Opening. However, after obtaining his memories he sees how TenaCity isn’t too bad compared to other places he’s seen, and is more understanding with them.

Dark wholeheartedly believes that people should be free and allowed to do what they want, and heavily disagrees with imprisoning or executing people.

Even though Dark has an emotionless exterior, he holds a very deep care for those he considers true friends. After getting his two centuries of memories back, Dark is more willing to help people lost and cornered as long as they are willing to be helped. He tries as hard as possible to treat people as equals, but tends to ignore the emotions of a few for what he believes is for the better.

Flaws
In many situations, it is argued Dark should have intervened in them. However, due to how long he has lived, he believes if you try to help everyone in everything you will only hurt yourself. This can make him appear that he cares little for many things.

In the rare case Dark is deeply upset, he can be incredibly wrathful. However, he is not unwilling to admit his wrongs.

Void Abilities
Whilst Dark is an incredibly skilled fighter and quick thinker, he has a variety of special powers as a void being.


 * Corruption and Withering Immunity: Dark was immune to the corruption ever since he was born. However, he was not immune to Withering until he obtained his powers from falling into the void.
 * Cure: This is the opposite of Withering, and Dark’s main power. With this, he can cure corruption from both people and land. This is seen when he cured Mart. Currently, this tires him out heavily as he has only recently awakened this power. If trained to its maximum extent, this power is godly and could cure any disease.

Creation/Birth
Dark was an abnormality in the Void, and had gained sentinence. He found himself to come out of an egg into the Overworld, where he met a village of people who accepted him despite his appearance. For years he created friendships and learned how to live there. One day however, this village was attacked by soldiers of a near monarchy. Before Dark could defend his village, everyone in it had died. Dark then went and killed every last soldier, and fled thousands of blocks away.

Beginning - Nether Opening
After travelling from a very long distance, Dark settled down at a mountain and after exploring the land he lived near, had found out that a city had settled down around his area.

During a travel Dark encountered a ruined portal where he found a book, unknown to him this book was made by Shae. This book showed him how to open the Nether, and showed information about what existed there. Dark had then came to Tenacity to talk to several people about it. However when he brought this to Arthur and Maky, they both disagreed with it due to Maky knowing what existed in the Nether.

The next day Tenacity and a few other people had come to Dark's house, telling him they want to help him open the portal. Dark follows them to Tenacity, for Tenacity to then block his portal. The members of Tenacity told Dark that they would not open the Nether, and while the members of Gamertalis defended Dark, Dark ender pearled behind the Community House, making another portal and opening the Nether. He then talked to the members of Gamertalis, who stated they sided with Dark in this situation.

Dark then spent the week after preparing for the Nether, gathering potions and supplies. Adding onto that he spied on Tenacity's election, and was suspicious of Sayoru when he came to his house.

Gamertalis Festival
Gamertalis held a festival a week after the election, and Dark went there invisibly to see what was happening. When Sayoru came to the festival and insulted everyone for having their Nether Portals open, Dark revealed himself and exposed Sayoru to be the God of Death. After Twinned retreated with Sayoru, Dark disappeared while they imprisoned Doodles.

Prison Break
After finding Doodles, a good friend of his was imprisoned, Dark went to Tenacity the next day to break Doodles out with Ty. Dark encountered Arthur, who told him that he wouldn't let Dark in. Dark then killed Arthur, taking a life from him. After freeing Doodles, Dark encounters a respawned Arthur. Dark lashes out at him, saying his city has done nothing but caused pain people, and begged him to wake up. After Arthur let them go, Dark brought Doodles to his home who then left telling him she was going to explore the Nether.

Corruption
Dark's companions Ty and Lizzy led him to a cave they had found. After going to the bottom, both his friends began to experience a weird feeling when a Wither Skeleton by the name of Azakana appeared, saying corruption was inevitable. Ty and Lizzy were then corrupted, and began to attack Dark. Dark ran away to his base, for Ty and Lizzy to follow him. Dark then fought back, wounding Lizzy and making the corrupted retreat. He then went back to spy on them, for Azakana to threaten to kill Dark himself. Dark also found out that he was unaffected by the corruption.

Birthday Party
Dark spied on the birthday party, and saw that Ninth was the true person to blow up Tenacity's meeting home even though everyone else blamed Maky for it. After spying on their arguments, Dark then went to talk to Deadshots. They then allied in order to find a solution to the corruption.

Alliances
Dark was asked by Dreamer if he wanted to ally with TenaCity to attack Sayo’s castle, and Dark agreed. He however said he would stay home to keep an eye on the corrupted. He however prepared a supply room of supplies for the raid with Doodles.

Mart’s Attack
The newly corrupted Mart came to Dark’s house threatening to kill him. However, when they began to fight Mart could not do much to him and Dark held back in pity for what he became. However, when Mart blows up his potato farm, Dark begins to fight seriously with potions resulting in Mart running for his life.

The Nether Finale
After the speeches were given, Dark gave Deadshots a set of Netherite Armor and showed everyone his supply vault. After that, everyone but him and Hayden left to Sayo’s castle. After a while, Sayoru and Twinned came out of a portal, both being controlled by the Wither King. Avalon was killed by Twinned, and Dark fled into the Nether where he found Steel Hallow.

After reuniting with the others in Steel Hallow, arguments began. Dark however quickly ended this when he defended Arthur and said he believed in him. They then went to Tenacity, where they fought Sayoru and Twinned. After everything ended, Dark departed being upset over Ninth killing Twinned.

Talking with Twinned
Dark talked with Twinned and found out of his state. He is trying to find a way to solve Twinned’s withering.

Meeting Azakana again
Dark had felt a strange feeling in the corruption room, and went to see what was happening. When he arrived, he saw Azakana with a new human form, and they talked to each other. During this, whoever was merged with Azakana showed great hatred for Dark. Azakana went around TenaCity pushing back Withering with Corruption.

Birthplace
One day, Dark went to check on the corruption room. Ominously, the glass that was on top of the void had disappeared. Before Dark could react, both Ty and Mart attacked and pushed him into the void. At first, his body felt as it was being torn into pieces, but eventually it stopped. The void had recognized Dark as a being of it, and was passive towards him. Dark then was able to will himself to be transported to his birthplace based off a hint he got from Azakana. Once there, he climbed out and found his first ever house. He rebuilt and repurposed it, while also opening a portal. He threw his sword Darkness into the void.

The next day, Dark came to where he had dropped his sword and noticed a shulker box. This contained an abnormally strong sword named  Duskbringer  that Dark learned was bound to his soul. He then walked in other direction and reached his home village, where three withers from Mart’s attack on Steel Hallow had reached. Dark quickly took care of them. He then began to head back home.

When he returned, he witnessed Mart fighting every person in TenaCity. He stepped in, surprising those who thought he was dead, and began fighting Mart. After a bit of holding back, Dark began fighting with his sword and killed Mart. However, instead of Mart losing his last life, he was cured and revived. Dark extremely tired from this went to the Hotel where he fell asleep.

Taking in Mart
After waking up, Dark was met by several people in TenaCity. They spoke of what to do with Mart, to where Dark suggested taking him in while others suggested imprisoning or killing him. After this, Dark returned home to where he repaired his house and briefly spoke with Doodles and Sayoru who came along.

A few days later, Dark went to check on TenaCity and talked to people there. However, they quickly encountered Mart who brought himself in saying they could do whatever they wanted to him. While everyone suggested imprisonment or killing, Dark once again brought the idea of taking him in. After some arguing, Dark had gotten the agreement of Arthur and DeadShots, and went home where he gave Mart new gear and tools before Mart fell asleep.

End of Corruption
Dark after finding out about the sudden death of Doodles went to TenaCity to inform DeadShots of her death. To commemorate her, they worked together to successfully create a cure. This however made DeadShots very tired. After sensing the sheep slowly changing, Dark went to the corruption cave where he witnessed Ty push Rosie, a person who was fighting the corruption back into the void. Ty then gave a compass, and ran.

The next day, Dark gathered Maky, Bulam, Twinned, and Azakana to follow him to the area this compass led. After a bit of traveling they reached an egg that led into a fortress. Traversing traps, they finally went to an area where both Ty and Lizzy were waiting. Ty summoned two withers and started fighting everyone with Lizzy. After the withers were killed, Ty and Lizzy ran into the maze and hid themselves. The rest of everyone went through the maze where they found the ingredients to seal the void. They went to the beginning of the maze, where Ty had went through a hidden exit.

After returning to the corruption cave, an unknown being named Veir came out of the void not remembering anything. They quickly escorted him to TenaCity, and began to try and seal the void. However, they required a sacrifice. In their moment of arguing, Ty came down and after speaking a few words jumped into the void. After that, they sealed it. Dark was left both saddened and shocked as saving Ty was his main goal. He however quietly remembered the cure samples, and used it on Lizzy which cured her from her corruption. They looked for Ultra, but were met by only strange noises. After this, he left and went home, to where he fell asleep.

Unity Festival
Waking up after a few days of deep sleep, Dark quickly noticed he had grown wings. He walked out of his room to be greeted by Mart, who had remade the originally blown up potato farm. After a period of talking, they went to Mart’s old base where Maky had been killed. Mart reminisced over how even though he hated what he did, there was a part of him that liked it. After some talking, they went back home where Dark set a stasis chamber, and then went to sleep.

The next day, Dark told Mart he was going out to check some things. On his way, he witnessed Maky and a group of people at TenaCity, and went to see what was happening. He stayed and watched the speeches, even adding some appreciative words of his own. However, Veri told him they needed to talk, to where Veri said Dark had to give in Mart to be killed, or she would come to his house herself and do it. Dark refused, acknowledging Veri’s blatant desire of revenge.

They then went back to the festival, where Azakana gave everyone judgment. Azakana stated that Dark had done a lot of killings in the past, which Dark accepted and agreed with. He then went home after talking to Twinned.
