Humanpunks Medieval AU

EDIT: Added my newest second gen 9 OCs Aleph and 16 and changed and added some information revolving around them. Because it's been over a year since I drew this pic, I can't remember which markers I used for the parent's skintones, so sorry that they're off. <8DD;;;;

Okay, there's a story behind this drawing. It started during my last few days of uni and I was thinking about how to update my human designs for the canon 9 characters. Then somehow, I randomly started wondering how they'd look in European Medieval clothes. Then before I knew it, I started coming up with ideas for an AU with the Stitchpunks humanised and in a Medieval world. I have such a weird imagination. I do still need to update my designs for the canon characters, I might base a few things from this pic. The clothes aren't too different, just that everyone is wearing hooded cloaks, tunics, armor and dresses. And maybe pooffy trousers and tights. MANLY MEN IN THEIR MANLY TIGHTS DOING MANLEH THINGS! My original human Stitchpunk designs are here: fav.me/d3ixisu
I sort of come up with brief bio ideas to suit the AU.

1

The self proclaimed leader of their home (I'm currently thinking a simple village at the moment). After their village was raided, 1 became more overprotective and controlling. Has an up and down friendship with 2 which he denies. Keeps 8 as his personal bodyguard. 1 refuses to leave the believed safety of his village, and refuses to let anyone else out unless it involves scouting which he mostly leaves to 2 and 8. He also distrusts anything or anyone outside his village and is especially distrustful to 9 when he comes to the village for the first time. But eventually accepts him as a co-leader.

2

An old inventor, engineer and medic. He has an up and down friendship with 1. After the village raid, 2 took in 5 as a pupil and they formed a father-son bond. After taking 6 under his care, he has difficulty trying to connect with him, but takes an interest in his drawings. He also later takes in the newcomer 9 when he first arrived.

3 & 4

Shy mute twins that were orphaned during the raid. They were soon found by 7 and were taken under her wing. Since then they saw her as a mother figure. They mainly spend their time reading in a library or a study room. Eventually, they start to see 9 as a father figure. They eventually become the older siblings of 9 and 7's son and daughter, 10 and 16.

5

5 got his left eye permanently injured during the raid. Since taken in by 2, he learned his ways of inventing, engineering and medical skills as well as sharing a father-son bond with him. Like 2, 5 also has trouble communicating with 6 after they take him in, yet he gradually forms a brotherly bond with him. Wears an apron when working.

6

The village raid left 6 traumatised. After the incident, he started to have visions that he would draw with his fingers. 1 had originally kept 6 as a prisoner, however 2 volunteered to take him in and look after him. Despite living with 2 and 5, 6 prefers to stay alone and draw out his images. He does however gradually see 5, Percent and eventually 9 as sibling figures and seems to get along with 3 and 4.

7

Originally lived in the village before it was raided. After having enough of 1's controlling reign, she tore her elegant dress and cut her hair as a symbol for defying 1 and left the village with 3 and 4. She refused to return until after she met 9. After getting to know him, she and 9 eventually begin a relationship which later leads to their marriage and having a son and daughter together, 10 and 16.

8

1's loyal bodyguard, yet he bullies some villagers like 5 and 6. He also occasionally starts fights with Decimal. Despite his bullying habits, he'd never physically hurt the villagers and willingly protects them. Has an addiction problem to wine. I originally thought about redesigning 8 to be rounder, but while drawing this, I decided to make him more broad.

9

The newcomer of the village who had been traveling in search for his origins which lead him to the village. He lives with 2 and 5 when he first arrives.  Although completely new to the village's ways and sometimes lets his curiousity get the better of him, he shows great leadership skills and a courageous demeanour. Eventually, he starts a relationship with 7 that leads to their marriage and son and daughter, 10 and 16. Is it me or does almost every human 9 design have at least a bit of a Frodo Baggins feel?

Decimal (.)

Was an orphaned stable boy as a child and have lived in the stables since early in his life. He lived his life by stealing food from the market. After witnessing Percent getting harassed, he defends her. However during the raid, he is ambushed by the same attackers and injured. He is found by Percent and takes him home to tends his wounds. He stays with her until he recovers and goes back to living independently until 1 reluctantly hires him to be Percent's bodyguard at 2's request. Due to his liking for higher ground, he also became the village watchman. Around the time, he learns to become an archer. The two grow a stronger bond that lead to them getting married and having a son and daughter, Aleph and Beth together.

Percent (%)

A seamstress that lived with 1 and 8 and has her own clothes stall in the market. Has a father-daughter relationship with 1 and a sister relationship with 7. After buying food, she enters an alleyway thinking it was safe in daylight until she gets harassed. She is defended by Decimal and she gives him an apple and a bread loaf as a thank you. Later during the raid, she finds him injured and takes him home to nurse him back to health. During his recovery, she makes him a sleeved hooded cloak that he treasures (although he doesn't admit it). After recovering, Percent is then under Decimal's care  after he is hired as her bodyguard. Eventually the two bond some more and marry before having a son and daughter, Aleph and Beth together.

10

The proud son of 9 and 7. As the son of a leader and warrior, 10 wishes to follow in his parents footsteps and trains to become a knight. Although he could be cocky and overconfident as a teenager, after an incident where he and his friends were in danger, he vowed to become more responsible. He soon matures into a fine knight and co-leader however his short temper gets the best of him sometimes- especially when arguing with 1. (Based on an RP with meg15warrior.) Has a sibling relationship with his cousin figures, Aleph and Beth.

Beth

The daughter of Decimal and Percent. She was born almost a year after her parents first child, Aleph who was unfortunately separated and thought to have died and she was too young to remember him. Like her mother, Beth works as a seamstress and helps her with her clothes stall. Despite resembling her mother in appearance and optimism, she does occasionally have her father's attitude and a sassy side. 

Plus (+) & Minus (-)

Twins that were also orphaned during the raid. Unlike 3 and 4, Plus and Minus were never adopted and learned to live independently. At a chance encounter they met 3 and 4. 4 and Minus gradually took an interest in each other, however their overprotective and jealous older siblings had other ideas.

Aleph

Decimal and Percent's son and first child. Originally a mellow and curious child, when he was six years old, he got separated from his family and was forced to grow up fast and learn to survive on his own leading him with a hardened personality very much resembling his father's. He may have hit his head and developed amnesia at some point as he didn't remember his life before and didn't recognize them when he was reunited with them again when he reached his mid teens. It took a while for him to get used to his family again- especially his father, but he does have a soft spot for his mother and little sister and eventually fully accepts them all again. Although he never regained his memory, he made new ones with his family once again. Is best friends with his older cousin figure 10 along with having a friendly rivalry, although they do bicker occasionally.

16

The daughter of 9 and 7. Like 10, 16 is proud to be the daughter of a leader and warrior and hopes to follow in their footsteps as a warrior. Her passion is exploring and she enjoys going on scouting missions. Her curiousity and short temper can sometimes lead her into trouble, but she always has good intentions.

I didn't have any internet when I was drawing this, so I'm sorry for the dis-accurate clothing. The armor unintentionally ended up looking a bit like Spartan armor. Whoops. But hopefully I could and later make this Sparta. <8D;; I hope I made the canon cast accurate enough. If I haven't I'm sorry. Q^Q I may or may not do more drawings based on this AU, but I'm not sure, it depends on if I get more ideas or not. This could make an interesting RP idea though, hmmmm.

Anyhowy-who, hope you like. <83
