Tzarkan

**Tzeke P. Dashing**, AKA **Tzarkan** and formerly **Prince Dashing**, is an Alternate UUniversal Toshan from Planet Chronicus. He is a magical humanoid being who hails from a land of war heroes that founded their own prosperous magical land. Tzeke was the second-born child of a long line of heroes called the Dashings, who defended Chronicus from powerful threats including Lord Gothaxort. He soon grew jealous when his older, assertive, better, better-trained, and successful brother was knighted and became the next leader of the royal guard wielding a powerful enchanted sword and armor, which he himself wanted when he became king. As he grew up, Tzeke could not ascend to the throne because he needed to marry a princess. Yet even knowing this, he wanted to get the power to rescue a princess too early. When he was denied the right to use his father's enchanted armor and sword, especially since it was too big for him, he decided to steal his brother's armor and sword to find a princess to save. When this sword and armor was destroyed because of it, he was tried for treason, theft, and nearly putting the kingdom in danger. As punishment, he was renounced as heir to his father's throne which would be passed to his older brother. Angry, Tzeke ran away from home to take desperate measures by founding his own kingdom. He sought the help of a wish-granting Zrix named Wishi who gave him the power and the permission to earn his happily ever after and his chance to rule his own kingdom. There was a princess named Fiara who was suffering a curse where she would become an Oeg (pig-orc) every night, and when her parents asked help from Wishi, they struck a deal: Tseke would be the one who rescues Fiara from a tower inside a powerful supervolcano guarded by a magically-bred monster named Drasteca. Tzarkan was given magic armor and a magic sword of his own to accomplish this, but was warned by Fiara's parents that it would not be enough to prove his worth. He had to grow out of his selfishness, otherwise Fiara would not marry him. Tzeke thus renounced his name to become dubbed 'Tzarkan', who would become 'The Chosen Knight' who would wander the world training himself and learning selflessness. But he soon found himself taking magic and even learning too much, driving him mad and ensuring he never learned. Then this finally bit him when he destroyed the swamp home of Shog, an Oeg who wanted payback by sabotaging his goal, and managed well with an unwanted friend named Pronkes. Though when he felt he was ready to rescue Fiara, he found that she was already rescued accidentally by Shog and Pronkes, and upon learning Shog and Fiara were falling in love, realizing this would cost him everything, he tricked Shog into thinking Fiara called him a hideous ugly beast who no one would ever love, stealing Fiara for himself as a result. But since he did not heed to her parents' warning, his selfishness ruined his chances of winning her heart. Thus when Shog realizes the misunderstanding and Tzarkan's trick, they embarrass him and expose his acts during their marriage. But Tzarkan refused to give up, and Wishi threatened to undo everything if they didn't help Tzarkan re-earn Fiara's heart, which would in turn force them to sign their kingdom over to a deceptive con artist named Grovetel to end her curse. They would thus manipulate as much as they could to force Shog and Fiara away from each other. Though with help from the Clam Lounge Squadron, they ended up getting Wishi to accidentally kill herself, but not without a cost as Fiara's father would revert back to whom he once was: an ugly swamp monster who asked Wishi to become a handsome man to marry Fiara's mother, and even so, Fiara's mother still accepted him. Tzarkan would thus be shunned even by his own family and brother, banished from his home forever, and be forced to join The Villain Legion. Tzarkan's avarice and envy had driven him to learn things he shouldn't, such as overpowering his own enchanted armor and weapons and even losing his own sane mind to it. His power is enough to kill anyone if he desires, and despite his charm and handsome looks, it is matched only by his ego, arrogance, stubbornness, greed, and lust for power. He is a twisted AUU version of Prince Charming.
