I went. I saw. I loved it. 9 was probably the most creative animated feature I've seen in a long time.. Which was very refreshing. The mix of steampunk technology and post-apocalyptic setting was very wonderful and fitting. Thus, I created my own character. I usually don't do very many fan characters for films and such, but this time I simply couldn't resist...

Number: No. 303

Nickname: Automator

Gender Of Programming: Male

Personality: Generally an agreeable fellow, and perhaps a little excitable sometimes. His actions are hardly ever rash however. He almost always keeps a clear head, which is something he is known for. He is very obstinant, but that's only because he hates to be proven wrong. He's very intelligent, more wits than strength.

Appearance: He is made of a grayish brownish denim-like material, and his hands and feet are made of painted black iron. He has a zipper down his front and down his back as well. He wears a silver watch with a black leather band around his waist as a belt, and a small wooden chess pawn on a piece of twine around his neck. He has a pincushioun strapped to his back by braided string. He has a cracked eyelense, so he wears a piece of glass he whittled into a round shape over his cracked eyelense like a monocle, to better his vision.

Build: Average. Maybe just a little taller than most stitchpunks.

Weapons: A brass fountain pen that he found, and the many needles and pins in the pincushion.

Weakness(es): The dark, and his lack of physical strength.

Likes: 7; He thinks she is independant and honestly outright badass in every way. He wishes to be more than friends with her someday, but unfortunately he finds that 9 sometimes gets in the way of that.. Not to mention he's got some guilty pleasures, such as being bisexual and liking bondage. If not 7, he hopes that 5 might be accepting of his affection.

Dislikes: Complete darkness. He panics and breaks down, usually assuming the fetal position and hugging his knees while screaming; loud, bloodcurdling wails. He also dislikes 9 in a certain sense... Considering he's the only thing that gets between him and 7.

History: He awoke in a basement, a little before all the humans were wiped out. At that time he didnt have any of the weapons or armor I've described him with.. He was virtually "naked" and defenseless. His creator had put him in a small wooden box to hide him from the dangers of the Fabrication Machine and its minions until he awoke. However, 303, upon awakening, was in complete darkness and panicked, crawling around helplessly in the dark, screaming and pounding his fists on the ground. In his terrorized movements, he gained his cracked eyelense after attempting to stand, but tripping in the dark and falling. It is unknown how long he was by himself like that. His screaming was what saved him though. 5 and 2 were out in the city, searching for new weaponry, and heard him. They brought him out of the basement, and were able to talk some sense into him while they were in the light. He was a nervous, blubbering wreck for the first few hours, but gradually came to his senses. After a few days with the others at the sanctuary, he had almost forgotten of his experience in the dark.
