Ben 10 S1 E11 "A Small Problem" Straight up sets up Forever Knights is nuts considering they’re called the Organization

I don't want it to happen in canon because those types of allegories rarely go well in fiction but I've been thinking about the Forever Knights role as an alien hate group and how it's effected by aliens becoming public and integrating into society. Wherever a new group is added to a population there's always going to some bigoted assholes who are going to have a problem with it. With the Forever Knights so low on members and funds I could see them skipping their traditional squire process and just recruiting these guys to rebuild their numbers and power. Now Bellwood as to deal with abunch of hateful morons armed with advanced technology they don't understand.

Looking up Saint George bc Ben 10 and Sir George just being that dude but immortal and laughing because

(Looks at Forever Knights) Yeah, real bang-up job on that “peace keeping” Georgie boy

The Forever Knights in Ben 10 specifically listen to this genre of music, especially the new members

Human OC idea.

Ebony is transfemme and was formerly a squire for the forever knights who she defects from. She used to bleach her hair but stopped and let it grow out in her natural color

She steals a some of their armor and tech and modifies it to use to combat them. Although the Black Knight is usually a villain, since the Forever Knights are regular knights as the villain, she uses the motif to be heroic, and the forever knights still see her as a villain to them.

Her armor is somewhat enhanced, as a gift from some of the aliens she's helped. For a while she flies solo but eventually gains recognition with some of the plumbers but never fully associates herself with them.

I haven't yet decided if she has a normal job outside of knight stuff or if she is taken care of by a local alien community in exchange for her help

the original concept i traced over official art under the cut

I like how the Forever Knights are xenophobic human supremacists but the Highbreed come along like "hey we're a hostile alien empire here to conquer your world and we literally view your species (and indeed all species besides our own but especially yours) as vermin whom it is our righteous mission to exterminate, wanna do dealings with us?" and the answer is apparently yes. I wish I could say it was unrealistic but supremacist groups do just be like that.
