FortKnight

**Forever Knight**, also known as **Fort Knight** or **Fortknight** is a character from Ben 10. He is known for being Chicken's favourite character from the Ben 10 universe, with reasons largely unknown. This would later on become a meme on the Ink Tank Discord Server, leading to a large amount of emotes and reaction images revolving around Chicken and Forever Knight.

## Appearance

The Forever Knight wears metal armor partially inspired by medieval European knights. It is augmented with alien technology that affords him great maneuverability and speed that would otherwise be inhibited by the clunkiness of the armor. When damaged, the yellow strips of light fade and turn off. He has yellow lighting on his helmet, and he wears a red cape along with his armor. He also bears the Forever Knight symbol on his chest, resembling the classic continuity's Forever Knights. Beneath his mask he is a white male of indeterminate age with no facial hair.

Some theorise that the Forever Knight's weapons are made from urine due to the fact that they bare a "piss yellow colour".

## Personality

The Forever Knight is brash and arrogant. He has been described as an "absolute fucking cunt" by Chicken on several occasions. However, at the same time, she has called him an "epic gamer" and a "chad", making it hard to pinpoint any outward perceptions regarding the character itself.

## History

The phrase "Fort Knight" was first mentioned by Chicken on March 31st, 2020 on her own server, Chicken's Cringe Chamber, regarding the popular video game Shovel Knight to her friend Soup. This had little to no relation to the character of Forever Knight.

The usage of the phrase sparked once again on the Ink Tank Discord during December 2nd, 2020, when Chicken, Lenny, and NightShadow were discussing about the popular yet controversial video game Fortnite. During then, Chicken referenced NightShadow's avatar, Moon Knight, in a joking manner, stating "Moon Knight? More like Fort Knight". Lenny proceeded to say "Chicken's avatar is the fortnite" (which was an image of Forever Knight at the time), which properly sparked the beginning of the meme.

This continued on with Chicken and NightShadow comparing Moon Knight and Forever Knight, dubbing them as "Coom Knight" and "Fort Knight". This would lead to several debates regarding which one would win, often taking place in the Ben 10 channel with the sole reason of shitposting.

A while later, Chicken would start a "Forever Cult" with her Discord avatar as the Forever Knight. The cult would require a user to nickname themselves "Forever [insert word] (username)".

Eventually, Chicken has been known for being a fan of Fort Knight, in which she has made countless self-aware remarks regarding this. This also became apparent when an exclusive emote for the Smartass role (Chicken's exclusive role) was made as a tribute to Fort Knight. A few other Fort Knight emotes have been made ever since, all following the naming scheme of :fortknight[number]:, including some that are deemed "non-canon" due to their creation originating from another server. Several memes have also arisen, most prominently a gif of the Forever Knight attacking the screen accompanied with the text "SHUT THE FUCK UP BOTTOM TEXT". This has become a MEE6 command under the names of Chicken and Staw, dubbed "chicken2".

The FortKnight cult was briefly revived in January of 2021, but quickly died down.

During February of 2021, Chicken created an animated gif of Fortknight based on Rikka's Finger Spin. This gif quickly rose in popularity, causing multiple users to continuously post it in various chats. It would also become an animated emote on the Ink Tank Discord. On February 15th, Lenny created a video titled fortknight.mov, featuring a modified version of the gif.
