Description

(Not putting this in the fan art category because reasons.)

I would first like to apologize profusely. Because I went to do human versions of the Light Brigade and they ended up becoming the "Hipster Brigade." D: Their human AU casts them as employees at a seedy hipster pub called the Fungus, which is run by a twelve-year-old girl. It's a weird city, okay?

Torah's a martial arts enthusiast, practicing Buddhist, and likes coffee. She has a soft spot for botany and jazz poetry, but she will kick your ass if you mess with her brother. She works as a waitress and won't take shit from customers. “Pay your bill or die.”

Siddhartha prefers flirting and flexing his muscles to actually working, however in his spare time he likes shopping, admiring his reflection, and going to the gym with Fu. He's the Fungus's bartender, but he's also a pianist who will perform with Auburn and Miltiades on occasion. His, uh, “poetry” leaves something to be desired, though. He also tells tall tales.

Sedna is a shameless money launderer and manages the Fungus's books and finances. With Torah breathing down her neck all the time, though, she hardly gets a chance to steal any money. The tragedy! She'll also work as a waitress, but you don't want her as your server because you'll be missing your wallet when you leave. She's fluent in several languages.

Fu is a jock (hence the odd one out) who made his name in illegal fight rings that take place in subway stations, and he is their current champion. He earns a killing off of the proceeds from his wins. By day, he works in the Fungus's kitchen, but he eats more of the food than he actually makes. He may have joined the hipster crowd because he wants to impress Sedna, but he's always getting hipster slang mixed up. And his Spanish is terrible.

Auburn is an inane peddler and possible stoner. He's a cellist who Tatu hired to entertain the customers, though half the time he forgets to show up for work. In fact, she fired him over a year ago, but he keeps showing up to entertain customers. She hasn't kicked him out because, hey, free entertainment!

Miltiades is the Fungus's head chef, though he also plays the guitar and writes poetry. He's possibly the only sane person at the Fungus, but he may or may not have an obligatory mysterious past. He's always writing this weird love poetry but no one's sure who he directs it too.

The other supporting characters in the Light Brigade are there too, but I'm lazy.

Will I be putting the human designs to use? Probably. Maybe short comics or...something. I got a real itch to use them, but if I ever get past this SRMTHG phase, at least I know where the Brigade will be going.

You actually used that title I am laughing. 

Basically it's a pub that employs total slack-offs and weirdos yet is somehow still successful because HIPSTER MAGIC.

Now, does Fu actually have some talent in cooking, or is he just placed in the kitchen because it's too hard to try and keep him out of the food otherwise? Also it amuses me that he is the "black sheep" in this AU.
