#god I want to plan out a multi ch fic of this dang au now

[rayadraws]

Saitama’s party in the fantasy AU, inspired by anon’s suggestions + Discord discussions + Thoughts:

Saitama: human knight. Never asked for any of this. The picture of Average Human but stupidly op as in canon. Wears a helmet that hides his face when he rescues damsels so he doesn’t scare them, but is mostly in it for the $$$. Hates to spend money in town, always tries to haggle. Overall poor reputation, usually taken for a fraud, but is starting to get a reputation as a dragon killer. Eventually returns Genos’ affections, but it’d be nice if he stopped cradling his head so much.

Genos: Dragon whose family was slain. Has sworn revenge on the knight who did it (not Saitama) and asked a wizard to turn him human so he could fulfill his quest. Still has dragon eyes, small claws/fangs/pointed ears. Very dragon-like black armour. Is fighting his instincts to not hoard Shiny Things, but cannot resist Saitama’s egg-shaped AND shiny bald head. Also loves the rest of the man but that head!! Wow!!

Sonic: rare goth elf. Bitchy and thoty but that’s standard for elves. Wears way too much black and makeup to be a respectable elf, treasures his amazing hair (until Genos rips it off during one of their fights). Unclear why he’s even tagging along. Wears too much shiny stuff too, it distracts and therefore annoys Genos. Has Standards but no one knows what they are. Keeps to himself more than the others, comes and goes like a cat. Thrives on attention but only on his own terms, otherwise you’re ”SMOTHERING him”.

Mumen: travelling priest that befriended Saitama long ago, maybe hired him as a bodyguard going through dangerous woods? And then just kind of stuck around. The one (1) person in the party that owns a steed, Justice. Justice is... I want to say a big, imposing but sweet and lazy old draft horse. The horse does Not trust Genos but likes being fed and petted by the others. Mumen is kind and calm, has mostly given up on teaching the non-humans of the party (so, everyone but Saitama) anything from the holy books as they just don’t think any of it applies to them. He’s still trying with Garou since he’s... possibly?? human??? Unclear.

Badd: Taken for an orc but insists he’s an oni - none of the others in the group know or care what the difference is. Kind of runty by oni standards but still very strong by human standards. The youngest in the group and the most socially competent despite being the least human-looking - but only polite when it suits him (which is rarely). Loves his sister more than anything. Has a big club that he’s not afraid to use. Not sure yet why he’s with the party, but probably so he can get something for Zenko? Heck, maybe he just needs human coins to buy her Nice Things.

Garou: wolf berserker. Usually naked (especially during battle) and more wild than tame. Loves to mess with the others, especially Genos and Badd, but knows better than to mess too much with Saitama. Considers baths a punishment. Understands Justice better than anyone else, talks to him like a person. Could instantly recognize Genos as a dragon when meeting him, didn’t even hesitate. Can’t make heads or tails of Saitama though, doesn’t believe he’s human as he claims and is a bit wary of him. Likes to steal Badd’s club. Is with the party because Fun Stuff happens around them.

Bonus: King is a king (of course) and another old friend of Sai’s. Maybe they went to the same school for a while and/or King hired him for some task.

Tatsumaki: queen of the neighbouring kingdom, with the help of princess Fubuki. I’m thinking... Tatsumaki’s knight killed Genos’ family. Saitama talks King into negotiate with her before Genos attacks the castle, once he learns that’s where the knight is, King does... for a long time... and eventually ends up marrying her, to all of their shock. But he means it, he’s fallen for her seeing her being a meader in action and it’s a happy marriage and it brings peace to their kingdoms. THERE now we can fit GS/SG, mumarou AND tatsuking in there lmao
