✦ Wizarding Lore Compendium |​| The Three Elders and Winnie (TBA) |​| Grimmverse Heroes of Yore (TBA) ✦

✦ Son of 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, the galaxy's most renowned mage, 𝐎𝐳𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐝 has risen to serve wizardkind as their second Grand Magister following the "passing" of his mother. Wielding her staff as both a symbol and a legacy to carry on, he now has the duty of safeguarding Magic itself. When 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞 threatened to engulf the galaxy in darkness, the wizards stood alongside the GSA and the Nichibotsu assassins. Together, they fought for years, united against this cosmic threat. Unfortunately, the assassins betrayed their comrades, aligning themselves with Nightmare. This treachery devastated the GSA, thinning their numbers and shaking morale. And though morale wavered, the GSA pressed on. Yet, the war reached a tragic turning point when 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞, the orchestrator behind the ninjas’ treachery, abducted Ozwald from the battlefield astride a fearsome dragon demon beast. In a final, desperate cry before disappearing into the enemy’s grasp, the Grand Magister called out to his kin, commanding them to flee and never return. At that moment, none of them looked back, they obeyed their magister's last command and deserted the battlefield, leaving the GSA behind. A mere few weeks later, Ozwald reappeared, but the man who returned was no longer the same. Nightmare’s corrupting influence had taken hold, and wizard had been lost to darkness. Many years after the Great War, on a faraway planet called Popstar, King Dedede noticed that 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐛𝐲 was quite confused by magic tricks Tuff was performing. Without skipping a beat, Dedede activated his downloading system, a contraption from Holy Nightmare Enterprise, and demanded their most skilled magician. Thus, Ozwald was sent through their channels and set upon Kirby’s trail. A fierce battle ensued, with the young Star Warrior pushed to his limits. Yet, through resilience and determination, Kirby succeeded in breaking the spell that clouded Ozwald’s mind, freeing him from Nightmare’s grip and allowing the Grand Magister to finally regain his senses. Ever since, the Magister has been residing in Castle Dedede, occupying the vacant top of a tower.

• Despite looking as imposing as he does upfront, few are sweeter than him. Kind and endlessly patient, he'll engage in conversation with pretty much anyone, even Dedede. • While Ozwald believes that a certain degree of sterness is required to properly teach the youth, he also believes that being too harsh and demanding will not give positive results. He prefers to teach with rewards, and attempts to make any topic interesting to get the attention of easily distracted children like Tuff, who usually dislike learning "boring stuff". • Ozwald is extremely forgiving, perhaps to a fault, even. He, himself, says that as a man who has committed sins against his comrades, he does not get the luxury to be critical of what is done to him. • He is, however, never forgiving when it comes to humane decency and decorum. Rudeness is one thing he quite dislikes, and will grow annoyed by it very fast, still remaining as polite as can be on his end. He does not want to stoop down to this level. • Ozwald is very doting with children, and has a natural fatherly disposition that usually warms him up pretty quickly with kids of all ages, even the most cold and distant. • Old man rambles a lot. He's got a fondness for discussions around magic and any topics he enjoys, but quickly finds himself talking at length until he gets nervous that he might be bothering his interlocutor. • Ozwald has an easygoing sense of humour, while he does not hold grudges, he is not above using previous events as ammo to tease someone. • Ozwald gets quite competitive with games of any kind and events putting him against other people/teams. He's a bit of a sore loser, but he tries to hide it !

✦ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧 & 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫 ────

In depth description of the Mark here ! • About the Scar ~ Pierced through the eye by a kunai imbued with Nightmarish power, the wound defied all attempts of healing, leaving behind a hollow scar from which magic occasionally seeps through. • It resembles an unstable counterpart to the Mark of Merlin. While the MoM serves as a gateway to the core and source of all Magic and remains flawlessly stable, the scar can become volatile, leaking magic uncontrollably when Ozwald grows overly agitated.

• Ozwald's closest loved ones are his mother, Merline, his little sister Winnie, the Three Elders of the Observatory Bumbledorr, Grindell and Maggie, and his magical owl, Duke Owlbert Hootsalot. • His birthdate is December 25th (12/25) • He has backpains, because Old. He gets very cranky when they start acting up. • He's a tea-drinker over coffee all the way. • He loves playing boardgames ! Always a good time between friends. • He's got quite the encyclopedia knowledge in astrology & astronomy. • Particularly likes the occasional baking of treats. • Ozwald is very adept at Offensive magic and Defensive magic, but also Supportive magic. During the Great War against Nightmare, him and most wizards were very important assets of the GSA, able to ward of most demon beasts, aside from those with magic resistance. • Ozwald and wizards as a whole do not really have mana. However, using magic, especially strong spells, for long periods of time can tire and wear them out. Ozwald can perform staffless magic. • He only has one eye ; he lost the other one during the war after a certain treacherous ninja threw a kunai at him. He tends to hide it with a glamour spell. He almost never lets it show.

There are some Kirby stickers on Amazon, and a few people in the reviews are mad about a sticker that says "Be Gay. Do Crimes."

Ah yes. The Kirby series. Very straight.

Very... Very... Straight...

[icedragonlizard]

From my understanding, the Kirby series largely emphasizes on friendship, with Star Allies in particular establishing that.

My Kirby universe takes the franchise's large emphasis on friendship into account, in the form of how I let every Dream Friend be cared about by at least someone. Each and every one of them has friends. Some may not have a lot of friends, but they still have friends.

Not every Dream Friend is a good person. Many of them are absolutely too morally flawed to be considered good people. But regardless of how much some of the Dream Friends might suck, none of them are unloved!

Every Dream Friend has a friendship with Kirby himself in my world, and it's further established by me interpreting him throwing Friend Hearts at each and every one of them during Star Allies.

And it's not even just Kirby that every Dream Friend has a friendship with. They all have, like, more than one friend each.

Some of them are incredibly obvious... the rest of the Dream Team is all friends with each other, and Dedede has his whole group of Waddle Dees (including Bandee) while Meta Knight has his Halberd crewmates.

The Animal Friends have each other and their DL3 counterparts, and Gooey is a close associate with them. Adeleine and Ribbon are best friends, and that also results in Adeleine connecting with many people that Ribbon is close to in her home in Ripple Star.

Daroach, of course, has his squad of squeaks. Dark Meta Knight has Shadow Kirby as his best friend, and also has Daroach as another good friend.

Marx and Magolor are each other's best friend. Taranza and Susie used to have loved ones that they lost, but at least they have each other now. They both also have some strong friendships with the Mage Sisters.

And as far as the Mage Sisters themselves are concerned, well, it's obvious they have each other and Hyness, and of course they have other friends too!

Now, of course, many of these friendships aren't canon, as they're just headcanons of mine, but it's to showcase how my verse takes into account how the Kirby series is, indeed, about friendship. I dunno, it just feels right to me at all of them have friends to varying extents.

And I obviously have more established friendships in my world than what I mention here, I'm just bringing up the more immediate friendships each Dream Friend has.

This is also to show that there's always going to be plenty of lightheartedness in my verse, appropriate for Kirby. A lot of crazy and dark stuff does happen, and Dream Friend gatherings after Star Allies will pretty much always result in varying levels of drama because not all of them get along with each other and it's more than likely going to stay that way, but they're all loved.

A little nefarious Kirby sticker I made for an upcoming convention

[jojo-schmo]

I'm updating my personal ref sheets and it's really hitting me just how SMOL Kirby, Bandee, and Elfilis really are compared to the rest of the cast.
