**The First Curse**, previously known as The Unnamed, is a major antagonist of the *Steve Cinematic Universe*.

He is the overarching antagonist of *Rainbow Quest*, appearing as the unseen overarching antagonist of Seasons 1-5, the overarching antagonist of Season 6 and the main antagonist of Season 7. He also appears as the overarching antagonist of *Steve Legends*, appearing as the unseen antagonist of Season 1 and the overarching antagonist of Season 2, as well as the main antagonist of *Twisted Rainbow*.

He is Origin Steve's first creation, while himself being the creator of Dread Steve, The Obsidian and Diamond Steves and The Armor and the TR universe. Fueled by his evil nature and revenge, he started a war against his creator, resulting in the defeat of both and the deaths of many such as Dream. While imprisoned he manipulated other entities to free him and to continue his plans, like when he manipulated Seer via Dread to become Void Steve. After his second defeat by the hands of Rainbow Light, Time and Sabre, he continued his evil scheme, causing an alternate version of Sabre to become a genocidal monster who destroyed their own universe.

## Personality

> Take what's yours...**and destroy it all**!
>
> The First Curse after Sabre leaves for his universe

The First Curse is a very cunning and manipulative entity. As the embodiment of pure evil, he enjoys the suffering and pain of those affected by his power. Even with that, The First Curse knows what good is, but actively chooses to be evil, and that in combination with his true nature result in a being of pure mall intent. His desire for revenge against Origin Steve and his creations went as far as starting a war that eventually led to Void Steve, another being he manipulated and made into his pawn to cause relentless destruction. The First Curse is a complete monster and will go out of his way to make someone eternally suffer, as he plans to do with the entire multiverse. Even beings he "trusts" are nothing more than pawns to him, like Sabre

## Biography

### Past Life

In the beginning of time, Origin desired more power and created The First Curse to do so. Originally Origin created a curse of ultimate power for himself, but The First Curse gained sentience and waged war against Origin Steve and all of his creations. This war had been named the Great War. During this war The First Curse created Dread Steve and the Obsidian Steves. When he realized he couldn't control the Obsidian Steves he created the Diamond Steves. During the time of the war, an Indigo Steve confronted The First Curse on his own, and the indigo in result got cursed by The First Curse into The Ruin. The Great War lasted for ages until eventually both Origin and The First Curse got sealed away. The First Curse had cursed Origin to be one with everything while The First Curse had been trapped inside his own armor and chained within a cave. The First Curse since then had resided within the armor, waiting for a chance to escape.

### Steve Legends

During Steve Legends the armor is discovered in a cave by Goggles who The First Curse convinces to stick his head inside a World Below portal driving him mad. Colle and Sharp then head to where Goggles had found The First Curse trapped within The Armor and said they felt a strange presence coming from The Armor and that they should stay away from it.

### In-between

In-between the time of *Steve Legends* and *Rainbow Quest* a village is built above the first curse. The Leaders of the village discover The First Curse and he begins to whisper to them. He eventually whispers to Steves to try and free him but upon touching the armor the villagers were presumed dead. Though based off the fact Steves can be absorbed into the armor by touching it, the Steves that were presumed dead were most likely just trapped within the armor's pocket dimension.

### Rainbow Quest

After Shadow Sabre is defeated, The First Curse starts his plan for his release. By pressuring Sabre through indirect ways, like the whispers that Sabre hears whenever he's around the Steve Village, He talks with Sabre and convinces him to release him from 1 of his chains by giving Sabre advice. Afterwards he breaks the rest of chains and instantly targets all places with high number of Steves, like Kingdoms and Villages, and traps them all in a pocket dimension within The Armor. After Sabre dealt with 1 last Demon Steve, Sabre along with Light Steve, Therapist Green Steve and Yellow Steve tried to break everyone out from their prison. After being separated, The First Curse traps Yellow Steve in the Armor, leaving Sabre alone to find a way to stop this. After he finds Assistant Steve, they teleport using a prototype artificial teleportation device to the place Assistant Steve scanned with the highest concentration of Steve's. They land in a strange swamp, with a gigantic fortress in the distance. After arriving there, Assistant Steve powers down to save his battery and the others find then follow The Armor to the strange fortress. There The First Curse reveals himself and introduces who he is. He explains his plans to create his own civilization where there is only him and control all the Steve's in the universe. The First Curse then proceeds to trap Light and Therapist Green in the Armor.

Sabre tries to run away from The First Curse after he trapped Light and Therapist Green and runs to Assistant Steve. The First Curse tells him to stay, and that Sabre doesn't understand what he wants, and wants Sabre to sit down and talk with him. Sabre ignores him and continues to run to Assistant Steve. Sabre wakes Assistant up and tells him that The First Curse is coming, but he's to late. Assistant switches to defensive passive aggressive mode against The First Curse. The First Curse questions Assistant Steve, unsure if he is a Steve like Light Steve, or not even a Steve at all. Assistant tells The First Curse he is none of his business and calls him a fool and makes clear what happened to the Steves to Sabre. The First Curse calls Assistant a moron, before being called one by Assistant. The First Curse, angered, tells them he has been waiting for generations of Steve's and that they won't stop him. He commands The Armor to absorb Assistant, only for it to fail. Assistant and Sabre then proceed to run away.

Sabre and Hypno Steve return to the swamp to try and free the Steves, but it wouldn't be that easy, as The First Curse spots them and tells them they won't be doing anything. Hypno asks why he's even doing all of this for revenge, as "he" is still cursed, while The First Curse himself has been freed from his chains. Hypno then states that he might even be scared of him. The First Curse angerly denies this, and tells both Hypno Steve and Sabre that they have no power in his domain. The First Curse states he's been practicing with his powers, and will find a way to put a curse on Hypno. He tells them they won't stop him from achieving his goals. The First Curse command The Armor to absorb Hypno Steve, but to no avail. Hypno then pushes The First Curse back with an attack, and gives them enough time to get in The Armor. The First Curse tells them that they will have to leave eventually, and that he is waiting for them. After M is saved, Sabre teleports to Assistant to get them back to the Red Kingdom. The First Curse finds them and tells them they won't be escaping. Assistant teleports away, but The First Curse manages to go along with them to The Red Kingdom. The First Curse starts chasing them until they reach The Core, where they are saved by Time Steve from The First Curse.

Sabre and Company return from the Time Dimension, where they spot The First Curse analyzing The Core. Sabre and Time Steve lure The First Curse away from The Core, and a fight commences between Time Steve and The First Curse. Time Steve is unable to harm The First Curse, and so they only keep The First Curse distracted until finally, The First Curse is teleported away by the Redstone towers.

After realizing that The First Curse is weak against Redstone Energy, Time and Assistant build a mini core, and use it to create special Redstone armor, that of which protects them from The First Curse. Time Steve and Sabre once again confront The First Curse, now with the Redstone armor. Time Steve and The First Curse once again fight, but the outcome remained the same. The First Curse tells Time that he will be ending this fight, and commands The Armor to absorb, but before The Armor was able to do so, Hypno Steve takes control of The Armor, and destroys it, causing all Steve's to return back from the place they were taken from. Enraged by his defeat, The First Curse curses the entire universes, and thus starts it's destruction.

However Sabre would not give up that easily, and both him and Time Steve gather the shards of the Rainbow Crystal and bring Light Steve with them to try and once again create The Hero to fight against The First Curse and end him once and for all, believing that would save their universe. Light Steve is transformed into Rainbow Light, and together with his new weapon, the Redstone staff, gets The First Curses attention and begins a fight. Although much weaker than The First Curse, the Redstone staff combined with the 7 types of Steve energy, and the staff also weakening The First Curse because of the Redstone energy, allows Light to finally defeat The First Curse, unknowingly shattering him across space and time, into the Multiverse that was created later on by Sabre.

### Twisted Rainbow

#### It's only a matter of...

The First Curse appears as a disembodied voice in Sabre's dreams. He tells him that if he won't do anything, that he'll do everything himself.

#### As Darkness sets

The First Curse enters Sabre's mind once again, tells him that he has finally found him and that he'll become whole again. He tells Sabre he could have done something himself, but that he's a coward and reliant on those around him. He proceeds to tell Sabre that he had his "time", and that now, he is in control.

#### Fine, What do I do?

The First Curse finds Sabre in distress, and tells him he'll take his burden from him and remove his pain and suffering. Sabre ignores him at first, but then shouts at him asking who he is. The First Curse tells him he just misses Sabre, and is willing to help him. Sabre agrees and accepts his help.

#### This is Twisted, Rainbow

Once unlocking Sabre's powers, he instructs Sabre into the steps that he needs to take in order to reach him. He tells Sabre it's his time to make Twisted Rainbow and Elite Guard suffer. After launching Elite Guard and setting M free, he takes Twisted with him to the Rainbow hub. The First Curse tells Sabre to force Twisted into opening the gate way to him, which he succeeds in. Sabre enters what looks like a fragmented version of the Time Dimension, and there he meets The First Curse, who is disguised as Time Steve.

#### Elite is just a title

The First Curse and Sabre meet. Sabre asks who he is, which he responds to that it is not important. Sabre is shocked and asks about his powers and wonders if the First Curse gave him them. The First Curse answers he didn't, and instead only unlocked them. He begins talking about Sabre's origin and how unlike all other Sabres, his universe exists within him. He tells Sabre he found him across all the universes that had been created after *Rainbow Quest*. He continues to tell Sabre that he has control over his universe as Sabre is his universe. Sabre wonders how any of this is possible, as he has no memory before he "woke up". The First Curse tells him that he didn't exist before he woke up, which is why he has no memories and that he just came to be. The First Curse then finally answers Sabre as to why the latter is even here. He tells Sabre that he was looking for ways to fix himself from the aftermath and interactions with Sabre. Sabre asks how he can help, and The First Curse answers that he needs to find a power source and bring it to him and that afterwards, Sabre can do what he want. Sabre agrees and they become allies.

#### Regret Requires Reflection

The First Curse talks about how he wished he could return to his universe, and envies Sabre's ability to do so. Sabre is confused as to why he isn't able to, as he seems pretty powerful. The First Curse explains that for some reason, he couldn't go back to his universe after the multiverse was created. However he does say that it's fine, as he has discovered that there's no one else like him in the entire multiverse. Sabre apologizes for the fact that The First Curse cannot return. Before Sabre leaves, The First Curse tells him to focus on the sword he has and use it as an extension of himself. Sabre confirms and leaves.

#### The Greater Good

When Sabre asked about his powers, The First Curse says to him that he needs practice before he can use his powers to the fullest. He then tells Sabre to get the Core, and Sabre impatiently agrees.

#### Identity

Sabre returns and The First Curse is happy to see him, and asks if he has the Core before being interrupted by Sabre's distress over the sudden reveal that the elite guard is actually Shadow Sabre. The First Curse tells him that it doesn't matter whether Shadow is here or not, and once again asks for The Core, which Sabre shows him. The First Curse laughs and asks him to give it, but Sabre wants to know why for their mutual trust. The First Curse agrees and removes his disguise as Time Steve. He says to Sabre that he needs the Core because of it's unique properties. He continues to tell him about his past in the Original Universe and his defeat at the hands of Light, Sabre and Time. But that his nature as a curse doesn't allow him to die, and that he searched for ways to fix himself until he found a fragment of Time Steve, cursing it and absorbing it in the process, giving him Time's abilities and a chance to use his own powers once again. He reveals that he is the first of despair, an eternal curse and the only one of himself, **The First Curse**.

#### Embrace

The First Curse now wonders that because he told Sabre the truth, will he stay on his side, or will he turn against him, but that either choice won't matter as he will continue his path no matter what. When Sabre tells him he knew who he was from the beginning, The First Curse sees this is a sign that Sabre doesn't want to work with him anymore, and proceeds to prepare for battle. Much to his delight though, Sabre actually wants the same as The First Curse. Sabre hands him the core, and asks what to do next.

#### At the Crossroads

The First Curse tells him they can split, Sabre goes inward into his universe and does what he desires and to gain complete control. The First Curse tells Sabre that he will go outwards, into the Multiverse. Sabre asks how he can gain complete control, and The First Curse responds that he needs to absorb the inhabitants of his universe and reunify the mind. The First Curse begins to talk about his past and how he didn't choose his name or his path, and that those around him called him a curse because they did not possess his power and starts his absorption of the Core. After The First Curse absorbs The Core, he asks Sabre to make his decision. Join him and conquer every universe, or gain full control of his own universe. Sabre tells him that he's competent to handle it alone, and that he knows his answer. The First Curse laughs and thought that he would offer nonetheless. After The First Curse says that Sabre is probably going to be the only sabre he likes having around, with Sabre contradicting this statements, telling him that with infinite universes, that The First Curse continues with infinite possibilities. Sabre is then given a shortcut, power outside of his universe. Sabre says his goodbyes, and leaves the Crossroads back to his universe, with the First Curse laughing after he leaves, saying "Takes what's yours, and **destroy** it all!" and laughs again while entering a portal to another universe. After this the First Curse isn't seen for the remainder of the series.

## Powers and Abilities

	+ **Cursing**: The First Curse can curse other beings to endure great suffering. His curses can be manually placed on them or from books containing these curses which are found in the Great Library. All manually placed curses specifically torments the individuals using what they love the most(Galaxy loved connection with people, so his curse as The Ruin made him unable to do that). It's unknown how many curses he has, but it's likely it's near infinite amount.
		- **Curse Bestowal**: The First Curse can curse other beings to endure great suffering, most of the times giving the individuals a new set of abilities in return for something such as Faceless and Reverse Steve. It's unknown how many curses he has, but it's likely it's near infinite amount.
		- **Power Bestowal**: Just as the last point said, the curses he inflicts on those gain new abilities.
		- **Absorption**: Beings that he has cursed can be absorbed by him, and he can gain whatever powers the individual had(powers that weren't reliant on his. This is disproven now as he absorbed time and gained his time powers which come from galaxy who gained his powers from a curse that first curse inflicted so he absorbs all powers not just some).
	+ **Energy** **Absorption**: The First Curse can absorb any kind of energy, even those that previously harmed them(e.g. : The First Curse absorbed The Core, a structure that holds the most energy in one specific universe, specifically, Redstone Energy, a form of energy The First Curse was weak too.)
	+ **Corruption Inducement**: The First Curse has been shown to corrupt other entities, mainly the Diamond Steves. He bended them to his will by corrupting them.

	+ **Healing:** The First Curse can heal other beings(Curse of the Reverse).
	+ **Astral Projection:** The First Curse can project an astral image of himself(Curse of the Reverse).
	+ **Teleportation Lock On:** The First Curse can lock unto energy signatures and teleport to set location without ever having been there(Curse of the Reverse).

	+ **Voice removal:** His curses have shown to remove ones voice, as seen with Faceless
	+ **Sensory Scrying:** The First Curse can telepathically see through someone's vision.
	+ **Power distortion:** As shown with the universal curse, The First Curse has the ability to distort another user's powers. This is shown when Time Steve and everyone else just couldn't teleport anymore for a short while.
		- **Teleportation** **cancelling**: As The Ruin could cancel someone's ability to teleport, The First Curse can also do this. He also shows this when Time is unable to teleport for a while.
	+ **Luck bestowal:** The village leaders have commented that The First Curse(who they knew as the Unnamed) would give them luck unless they didn't touch him.
	+ **Temporal Immunity:** The First Curse has shown to be resistant against Time manipulation. In Twisted Rainbow however, he gained ever more power and more time manipulative powers from Time Steve, logically granting him immunity against any time manipulation.
	+ **Absolute Immortality**: Since he has existed since the beginning of time, The First Curse cannot die of age or illnesses. He cannot be killed, as he will exist as long as existence itself does.
	+ **Super Strength**: The First Curse has incredible strength most likely due to the fact his fists are made of obsidian.
	+ **Super** **Speed**: The First Curse can reach tremendous speeds, able to easily by pass any normal person in an instant. Even more powerful people have big trouble keeping up with him.

		- **Shapeshifting**: The First Curse can shapeshift into those he has absorbed, although signs of his true self still linger, such as his purple eyes(this was likely due to his shattered state, as Faceless, a being whose power derives from a curse, was able to completely shift himself, confirming that The First Curse can also do that).
	+ **Telepathy**: The First Curse can telepathically communicate with other people, such as when he did it with both versions of Sabre.

		- **Dimension Creation**: The First Curse can create dimensions, such as the pocket dimension that exists within the Armor.
	+ **Time Manipulation**: The First Curse has the ability to manipulate time. Although limited at first, he gained a more diverse set of powers when absorbing Time Steve's fragment.
		- **Slowing and Speeding up Time**: The First Curse has the ability to speed up and slow down time, an ability he got from Time Steve
		- **Reversing Time**: The First Curse has the ability to reverse time, another ability he got from Time Steve

	+ **Portal creation**: The First Curse has the ability to create portals to different locations and dimensions.

* **Redstone Power**: After absorbing the Core, The First Curse gained it's Redstone energy. This offers him abilities that the Core can endure to other people. He can likely do whatever Assistant Steve could in *Twisted Rainbow*, as he was powered by it. He also gained an immunity to Redstone Energy, removing his one and only weakness. This power also allows him to reform himself should he somehow ever be shattered again, which is likely impossible to achieve by anyone.

## Trivia

* The First Curse being called the embodiment of all evil not only coincides with his nature, but the fact that all antagonists and villains of the series(RQ, SL and TR) were all caused by his actions.
* Cursing Galaxy Steve ironically doomed and saved himself in the aftermath, as this action led to Time being created, who would help with ending The First Curse, but would eventually be used to restore The First Curse.
* The First Curse's initial design was based of the Minecraft enchantment table, even getting the galactic alphabet as a purple aura.
