What is this blog about?
By the title, this blog is about my new BATiM AU "Human in town!"
It surrounds Zoe's experience as a toon, living in a world that is both scary and one he finds content in. He meets fellas he likes, fellas he doesn't or hate. This story is full of parallels and symbolic themes with meaning. Through this circumstance, Zoe will have to learn to get accustomed to this world and meet people he never expected to meet.
Zoe works for Benedetto Stein, one of the most infamous mafia bosses in Toon Town, who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and protect the family at all costs.
Now, about the environment:
• This story takes place in Toon Town, or as most refer to it "Toonsie town". A small fact, toons can immediately tell what type of personality a toon has just by which name they use for the town.
• Toon Town is the equivalent of New York, which is infested with all sorts of different toons, considering it is a big town. The smaller towns are Inkfell (Full of mafiosos with ink businesses), Hale Halos (Populated by angel toons)
• This au takes place in 1961.
• Toon Town and other towns or living areas are separate from the human world. Each toon has the ability to leave the human world, but none can leave the toon world. This is important.
• The Toon government doesn't take kindly to non-native toons/ humans because of old stereotypes and fear of history repeating itself.
• Toons can have kids! Weird thing to say, but it's relevant (Not telling until it has to be, but one character in this story is half human).
Not in the human way, but by an ink machine.
The characters:
• ~Zoe/y Dear ///////~
/// Will be back///
And you probably already guessed, Zoe is a human in disguise. Well, he's technically a toon now, but with all the differences he has compared to toons, he gets his own category (Non-native toon)
He was kidnapped by Mr. Ross' gang for reasons no one knows, not even Zoe himself. Luckily, Benedetto saved him during a turf fight and had kept him in his gang ever since. He's been taught all the street smarts and everything to keep himself safe. And as an angel, he had to be extra careful, because even if the wings on his head were small, they were worth plenty of cash. Oh and his halo.
Though, Zoe doesn't really talk about that incident often, only when he needs to for information.
He was a part of a corporation and business, which he was forced to enter and also leave. Sounds silly, but this needs a lot of lore to specify and, of course, finishing the comics.
We're talking about The Saints' corporation. If you once even belonged to it, you get marked with a cross on either your neck, chest, back, or even everywhere if it fades.
Random little fact: Zoe has the capability to change his colour palette! Some (humans) toons like him can get random little powers based on their past lives.
Though he mostly keeps it to blue or yellow, depending on his mood/season of the year
Next on the list is...
• Benedetto 'Bendy' Stein
///
For now, I'll keep this short, since I don't want to spoil much. And I'll have elaborate on why Bendy's personality traits are too short (Yeah, it's because Bendy's gotta be the center of attention).
Soo... Let's start off straight and clear, Bendy's a mafia boss. And a good one at that, despite being kind of a dumbass. However, he's kept quite a reputation for the past few years, especially in 1959 (I ain't telling you why 🤫🧏).
His partners in crime are Boris (his best friend, and also a part of the mafia), Samuel 'Sammy' Lawrence (One of his soldiers), Charlie, Barley, Edgar (which joined Bendy's gang as an agreement, but aren't important in the story) Katie, and Daniel.
And for his personality, well...
He's... confident to say the least, it's what scares the rivals, and other things... 😨
Anyway, he's, despite his attitude or "occupation", he's quite loving and caring to the people he loves or cares about. One of his redeeming qualities. And if we compare him to the other mafiosos, he'd be a saint. But it doesn't mean he doesn't get his hands dirty when he needs to. Just not innocent people of town or people who don't deserve it. Ey, at least he's being fair!
This demon's short-temper and anger can lead to the entire town collapsing. Luckily, no one made him that triggered.
But lately... someone has been keeping him calm for a little while...
(All the other refs are outdated, still WIP)
• Boris Stein
///
Another mafia boss to the list (Benedetto and Boris run the same one. They were forced to share /j)
Okay, Boris seems like a prick on the outside, but is quite caring and soft to the people he thinks deserves it (except Katie, they don't get along well...). His tough exterior and physique helps him in fights, and also to intimidate rivals.
Benedetto's short temper and anger problems always have to be relieved, and Boris is there to do it as the calm older brother.
Boris is depicted as aggressive for a reason. Not because he will lash out like Benedetto, but because his remarks can be passive aggressive or his fighting style is all over the place.
• Samuel 'Sammy' Lawrence
///
Oh this grumpy old man...
Anyways... Sammy's a human as well. And has been here FAAAR longer than Daniel is. He died in 1935, when he was 26 years old, and is now pushing his retirement age. He hides his true age so Benedetto wouldn't place him in the retirement home. He's still 54, but his "body" and mind is one of a 30+ year old. He isn't that wise to be a grandpa, but isn't ignorant enough to be your typical older brother.
He's a trustworthy man for Benedetto, with his intelligence surrounding ambushing, and unlocking different closed off places, rooms, vaults, etc.
Though, his cold personality facade helps him a lot to gain respect, but deep down he is battling with a lot...But what?
• Katie M'lady
///
Born to be a tiger, forced to be a lap cat.../j
Katie is a fierce soldier who will always protect her fellow comrades. If you're being jumped, she'll probably help you (unless if you stole her favourite booze from the bar cabinet). Benedetto always takes her everywhere during chaotic missions, because of her experience with fighting, and also her capability of working under pressure. She's quite reserved, so no one knows much of her. Only that she'll beat your ass if you look at her the wrong way.
• Matthew Ross
///
Matthew Ross has been in this mafia game far longer than Benedetto was. Though, with Benedetto's rising power and status, it has made this fallen angel grow with uncertainty if he will keep him status as the most powerful.
Matthew is a sadistic prick who has zero feelings for anyone outside his mafia. Any innocent toon could get killed even for as little as glancing at their dirty work. Despite being once an angel, he has no intentions of ever redeeming himself. He enjoys this life off of living better than half the toon population.
He has barely a few scars, but those few are very major...Like his eye. I won't tell who gave them, but I think it's pretty obvious already XDD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Differences between humanoid toons (Non-native toons) and real (native) toons:
Non-native toons:
- Their eyes may look like a toon's, but they usually wear eye-contacts to hide their irises.
- 10 fingers instead of 8
- Don't have the endurance of toons
- And so on...
Native toons:
- Flexible, good endurance
- 8 fingers
- Usually not that detailed, depends on the creator
- Usually smaller in height, but also depends on the creator's decision.
