#to be fair its a galacta based au sooooo of course he has a lot of notes

[tiny-stack-of-knights]

WOOHOO FINISHED ANOTHER REF

Here’s Galacta Knight! He’s a good boy (:

I’ve got some notes for him in general as well as his place in the galactic crisis au I’m makin, feel free to read them below the cut!

Here are some general notes about him before the galactic crisis:

-Galacta is actually a real knight! (unlike somebody else...)

-He was actually Halcandra’s best knight! He rose to the position through his excellent defensive skills and efficiency in energy based magic.

-As strong as he his, Galacta only fights to protect those who aren’t able to fight for themselves, and as such, his fighting style is very defensive. Well, it used to be...

-He’s a big lovable dude! Literally, he’s like 6’3 and doesn’t even wear heels!

-Personality wise, Galacta is kind of a himbo...very loving and well intentioned but not always the smartest. Very emotionally driven.

-He’s not DUMB, he’s just very inclined to follow his emotions and instincts in the moment rather than think far ahead. Combined with his raw energy, it’s a miracle he’s still alive.

-A miracle and plenty of help from Morpho Knight, who helps slow him down and actually think about things.

-He’s a haha funny family man..for real though, he gets very protective of his friends and family. He is very quick to trust people and gives them the benefit of the doubt. As such, many have branded him as foolishly naive and hopeful (which he absolutely is)

-He loves people..very much an extrovert! And also a peace maker, he really just wants everyone to get along. He wishes that someday, the mounting tensions between Halcandra and Jambandra will die down and everyone will be able to live peacefully.

now lets get into the stuff you guys are likely here for, the story stuff (:

(also uh warning there’s a lot, since galacta’s like the main focus of this au, most of the story relates to him. however, i plan on spreading out this information across two other refs, coming hopefully soon)

-Galacta was born into a small village in ancient Halcandra, during a sort of “cold war” between the two factions of ancients we’ll call the Halcandrans and Jambandrans.

-As a bit of a side note, this is who I interpret to be the ancients mentioned in the series (at least for the sake of this au). The Halcandrans are more technology based, and as such are responsible for the Novas. The Jambandrans, on the other side, are more magic based, and are responsible for stuff like the Amazing Mirror and the Master Crown, etc. The two factions were originally one, but their divides grew big enough to establish a boundary line, where certain planets are considered either Halcandran or Jambandran (with either of those two planets being the source of authority to the others). While they’re not at war yet, the tensions between them have been mounting enough for both sides to have built up an arsenal of their own weapons (again, stuff like the novas and the master crown) to use in a potential war. In fact, there are frequent skirmishes between the two sides, however they’re small enough for neither side to outright declare war....yet (and we’ll get to that)

-As for the reasons of their divide, I feel like its mostly obvious (their differences on what they rely on (technology or magic)). However, there’s some unseen force at play that’s been causing “natural disasters”, and as tensions mounted, the two sides began secretly blaming the other for them, however as they’re not able to prove it, neither side has directly addressed this.

-Back to Galacta. He was appointed to be one of Halcandra’s knights after a stunt he pulled in his village, saving multiple people from one of the natural disasters that they all assumed was the fault of the Jambandrans. He went away for training.

-Right after he was knighted, he went back to his village to celebrate only to find it in shambles. The only “survivor” was a red clad, butterfly winged knight. Unable to process what had happened, Galacta breaks down, and is surprised to find the other knight in a similar situation.

-After this, Galacta becomes a little less loud and energetic, and a bit more solemn and resolved. Morpho helps him cope as he advances through the ranks of Halcandra’s knights, starting to rely more on his lance and magic attacks.

-Without spoiling what I’m going to put on Morpho’s ref, the two begin meeting each other in secret. However, for reasons I will later explain on, Morpho is only ever seen around the sites of the small skirmishes and “natural disasters”, which is where the two end up meeting.

-The Jambandrans are quick to take notice of a well established Halcandran knight hanging around the sites of these casualties. They begin to believe that Galacta is one of Halcandra’s super weapons. Halcandra, however, is completely oblivious to this.

-In response to Galacta Knight, the Jambandras start building their own “super weapon”, the Jamba Heart.

-When Halcandran intelligence suggests the existence of this Jamba Heart, they send several knights to shut it down.

-Galacta, at this point, had risen to the position of Halcandra’s top knight. He was sent to command the mission to seal the Jamba Heart. Things did not go well.

-After sending the knights, Halcandra warns Jambandra that if any such weapon exists, it would be violating their codes. Jambandra lashes out, and accuses them of hypocrisy. Tensions rise to a breaking point, and Jambandra finally admits that they’re able to prove what they beleive to be the source of the natural disasters: Galacta Knight.

For the sake of still having two other refs related to Galacta’s story, this is all I’ll divulge for now! Look forward to Kirby’s ref, which should pick up the story notes I have from here..I swear, when I get the other two refs out, I’ll make a master post with all the refs and story notes... if you guys are interested of course!

I tried to base as much of the story I could on canon, but I know there’s a lot of speculation and just plain making shit up, which is why it’s an au and not a fan theory (although if anyone’s interested, my theories as to the ancients line up pretty close to how I wrote them here). That being said, I’ve had a ton of fun working on the story, and there’s still plenty more to come (:

Once again, if you read all of this, holy shit thank you and I hope it was fun for you too :D
