Description

Now I’ve seen Uther used from the Arthurian mythos in other Kirby AU merely defining him as Sir Arthur’s father who he inherited the GSA from. Not many are written as straight up bad guys, that is until today Sir Uther is a villain in the KBASW universe and he’s not Arthur’s dad in this one just mentor in the story (but frankly he shouldn’t be anyone’s dad.)

I just had to post this before publishing the story cause everyone’s gonna wonder “who’s he when reading?” So yeah this is the face of Uther, when he’s mentioned in the story.

I definitely wrote him as the guy everyone hates and though he maybe gone, his selfishness and pride were what ultimately what brought down the GSA. After his death Arthur vowed to reverse and rewrite the mistakes of Uther’s cruelty; becoming the new leader of the GSA. Arthur was and still afraid of his old mentor, his influenced is what made Arthur hide MK’s wings all the time. Meta thought Arthur was afraid of his demon side when in reality he was afraid of Uther. Uther does and kicks off many of the downfalls and tragedies of the GSA & MK’s crew. Due to his own prejudices towards Meta which come back to haunt him.

This Uther is highly inspired by Merlin (2008) Uther the show’s but if your want to hear more explanation on the character but basically yeah the Uther in that show hates magic and kills many innocent people because of that so just switch that around with Nightmare and his demons and yeah same principals.

Also his character color scheme is actually based off the Queen of Hearts from Alice & Wonderland. A bit of foreshadowing of his temperament as well as his madness.

And his relationship with Galacta Knight; well let’s just say his ego was knocked down a peg once Galacta was recognized as the strongest warrior in the galaxy by the Ancients. Before Galacta it was Uther and he was the leader of the GSA because of that... with Galacta there he felt his authority was challenged..

He guys I’ve been actually working on this OC for months since I named dropped him in Dec. it’s also my first OC and let me tell you creating an OC is tough, I hope my efforts were worth it and you guys like it.

keep reading the content character explanation below...

Now I’ve seen a lot of people characterize Sir Arthur as a well meaning person who’s just stuck in their old ways. Sometimes straight up good guy or leader who live long enough to see himself become the villain; similar to the many interpretations depending on which version you seen/

Now I don’t mind Uther being interpreted as a good guy or someone in the grey area but I’m just surprised with the lack of villainous Uther’s. A constant in Arthurian legend is that Uther has always been a rotten human being. In the original story of Arthur’s conception was that Uther wanted to get with Duke of Cornwall wife starts up a war because of it. (Not gonna explain anymore of the story but yeah you should read the original for the rest of it.) But yeah he straight kicks up war cause he gets what he wants which ends up being betrayed by his own people.

I wanted to take that type of self destructive villainy from the original Uther making him as despicable as the original from the story. With a little mix of my own spin on the character with some modern day villains too.

When designing his character I knew I wanted to have some foreshadowing and symbolism in his design. I really wanted to make him very intimidating along with the a level of regality. I ended up thinking about old school villains from Disney and I came up with queen of hearts which fit his character perfectly. And after I just knew I had to give him a scythe as his weapon no questions asked! He’d definitely say “OFF WITH YOUR HEAD”, before slicing up one of his victims.

And I got a bit of inspiration from Avatar’s Ozai too similar temperament as well. that’s how I got the idea to have Uther control fire as well as light. Which emerged the idea for his wings. Couldn’t deicide whether I wanted to give him dragon wings or bird wings... But when the concept of Phoenix wings came up I knew I could work more story into them than just the dragon wings.

I also wanted to show the importance of status to him with his amor and cape & mantle; being adored with gold. His mask has two colors red & black very reminiscent of a checker board; conveying his two facedness. Seeing his soldiers as pawns wanting to be in control of everything. I hope I was able to convey that in his design... He cares so much about his position. and hate when his authority is questioned in any way; he makes sure everyone knows who’s in charge.

When I call Uther an elitist, I mean that he would give very little care to the shoulders that were not as puffballs and would immediately categorize them as lesser beings. And durning the war when the GSA & the ancients were defining other galaxies worth: they would put prioritize the more advance civilization and the lesser solar system were on the last to protect. This eventually formed the Star systems Alliance (or the S.S.A) which was control by the Ancients, the GSA elites, and the uppercrusts of the galaxy so yeah corrupt government everybody.

I got this idea in the Wolfwrath episode with Sword & Blade explaining their backstories as he described that the war had turned the galaxy into a waste land and that they had to become bandit & thieves to survive.

So yeah that’s basically Uther’s doing... he would use lesser planets as battle grounds, and made many of the inhabitants helpless. This how the volunteer army gets started. The GSA would offer benefits and supplies to those who volunteers to join. However they’d have to live long enough to actually receive these benefits. So yeah he took advantage of lesser planets to get new soldiers and made sure they’d be his battle plan guinea pigs.

Which brings Jecra and Garlude to that mix as well... Jerca who had just lost his partner did not have the means to provide for his baby son (Knuckle Joe). He had was his parents but they were too old to work. Heard about the GSA’s offer and signed up; his parents weren’t sure and knew their son would be on the front line. But Jecra brought up the point that it’s either that or they all die by starvation. Sadly they agreed and promised to take care of Joe.

As for Garlude she was noble and had people under her care, the war had been pull resource away from her people. Her husband (a man she married out of obligation but was friends with) went himself to negotiate for resources with the Ancients & from the S.S Alliance but after mysteriously disappeared after words. So to find out the truth of her husband’s disappearance and to provide for her people (as well as her daughter) joins the volunteer army.

Eventually there were so many that volunteered that they needed someone to supervise and train them. Uther didn’t want to waste training these volunteers and use one of his elite soldiers (they were gonna die quick anyways). Then there was the Meta newly knighted Star Warrior, who he rejected into joining the Holy Knights. The other higher up knight's ancients didn’t know what to do with him because they didn’t want MK to represent them and they were all looking to Uther for an answer. It was more of a way to stall until he could think of what to properly what to do with him. Which was probably the best thing he could have done for MK.

And after 4 months of training Meta Knight wants to join their ranks and become the sole person in charge of the Volunteer Army. Which is lowering his status never being able to join the higher ups. Uther thinks this is a great way to save face and get rid of MK . To him Meta was finally accepting his fate dying on the battle field, but to Meta Knight he was freeing himself from all of them.

And with that MK renamed the group Team Halberd... and became the most beloved group of Knights of the GSA. And Uther became pissed he’d give MK and his group the most difficult missions but that made them more famous. Things only started going south for the team after the fall of the Ancients & Yami’s betrayal. And also Yamikage was not part of Team Halberd he was part of the ninja section of the army which Dragato was in charge of. (And yes I made the MK ship into angst fuel Halberd the ship being named in honor of his original unit). And Uther starts to go mad and plays a big role in Kirby’s birth... hope you guys stay to find out.
