if he had a theme song, this would be it.

anyways;

my Michael's lore drop, like… A LOT

[long post warning]

William moved to the USA [Hurricane, Utah], pursuing better studies for a major in engineering and minor in business. But also at the same time to get as far away as he could from his abusing Father. He got a part time job at a local restaurant too.

He meets Henry Emily in college, and William finds himself intrigued about how his new colleague’s mind works, even seeing a little of himself in him. William is captivated by him, his ideas, and his being. He grows attached to Henry, as for that period Henry is the only constant in William’s life, due to him having no one to rely on when he moved alone to another country. Without noticing, William becomes obsessed with Henry, writing in stacks of journals. Envy and admiration blind him when bearing witness to the seemingly good childhood Henry had, unlike him.

Straight William doesn’t exist, his brain just really said no homo, so he has internalized homophobia smh. Henry is straight in this, and he’s completely oblivious to William’s feelings. So it’s pretty much a one sided thing but that one side is in denial.

Henry found William odd, unnerving and rude at first but soon got accustomed to his presence. In the end, he felt good that finally someone intently listened to his uncommon ideas instead of saying how his projects and dreams wouldn’t get him anywhere. Having a close friend felt good for once.

Later on, William, like the jealous and obsessive bastard he is, just wants to be equal to Henry. They’re very competitive, like at first they’re just competitive in a friendly manner but as time went on, that same competitiveness begins to corrupt William.

In the middle of one of their class lessons, both of them brainstorm about opening a franchise together, Fazbear Entertainment.

Henry brought it up first as a joke, as all things usually did between the two. This time though, William enhanced the idea further than expected. He followed the lead, threw even more things into the mix. Things like how both could incorporate robotics with entertainment, and how William could take care of the financial side of things.

It started as a joke, but then William carved deeper and soon enough, Henry’s joke became something more.

While both were still finishing their studies they begin the first project for their growing franchise, Fredbear’s Family Diner, as well as making the blueprints for its respective animatronics.

Months before their graduation both William and Henry walk around the campus. William catches a glimpse of a young ballerina at the auditorium, Clara Schmidt. Henry mocks him about how dumbfounded he looked by the ballerina as if he’s never seen a woman before (lmao). Later William would find himself at the back of the auditorium every time Clara performed, marveling about her fluent and intricate movements, imagining one of his creations moving in that same hypnotic way.

One day William was caught off guard by Clara, and she told him how she had seen him watching her since the beginning. William was surprised she had even noticed him since she seemed so deep into her choreography that Clara used to always dance with her eyes closed. They talked for a while, and Clara found William quite charming. From then on they would always talk when she finished her practice sessions. William learns that Clara suffers from Cystic Fibrosis, and that it might cut short her dancing career.

William began to show interest in the theatrical (he even learned how to play the banjo, like terrifyingly good at it xd). He gets so invested in acting that he decided he wanted to perform in Fredbear’s, so he alone came up with the idea of building the animatronics to double as wearable costumes (this was also to save some money). That’s how the spring-lock suit blueprints came to be.

It’s graduation night and everyone gets drunk as fuck. Henry drags William to a party at someone’s frat house where they don’t even know the host. William was just watching Henry from afar while leaning against the wall as he drank a beer, then another, and another, and…

He doesn’t remember what happened that night. When William wakes up he's completely wasted on the floor in the master bedroom, as if he had rolled off the bed and the fall didn't wake him up. He was completely alone though, and the room was trashed. Apparently, he also wasn’t the only person that had passed out too (there were more knocked out persons in the living room and one with their head inside a toilet kekw).

Weeks later he finds out Clara is pregnant and she keeps saying that the kid is his which he blatantly denies, until she brings up the prom night. The night he doesn’t remember. He still denies it even when knowing she might be right.

Henry announces that he’s marrying [name pending]. William then proposed to Clara out of spite of Henry having a wife, and since she was already pregnant with his son he just took the chance like the competitive bastard he grew to be.

Michael is born in 1969 (n i c e), and William has a lingering hatred towards him but decides to put it aside for once. Henry has a child with [name pending] a little over a year later, and they named her Charlotte Emily.

William starts to slowly fall in love with Clara, and they have another child, Elizabeth (whom they nickname her as Abby). Later they decide to adopt a boy, Evan.

In 1979, Fazbear Entertainment is founded and Fredbear's Family Diner is built as well as the spring-lock animatronics. Audiotapes were recorded as means of training employees. One day while wearing the Springbonnie suit the locks fail, impaling William, but he survives despite being left terribly scarred.

The spring-lock animatronics are retired from their wearable mode until further notice, so they instead start using regular mascot suits as they now can afford them due to Fredbear’s Family Diner being a fairly great success ever since it’s opening. After a while they decide to add more members to the cast besides the golden duo; Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. The classics.

And for once life was good. But good things don’t last forever. Clara’s illness strikes harder.

Then why did William had the funtime animatronics even when he hadn’t shown any signs of bloodlust¿ Well, to achieve immortality still BUT not for him. Guess who did end up falling in love despite not being for the right reasons at first~ fuckin William the bitch, he fell in love with Clara and then she got sick af, but since he can’t make a cure he rather find a way around and cheat death for someone he ended up loving as one does. William experimented with animals first and while it gave positive results it didn’t get enough of what he needed so he debated on murdering children.

Between Clara being at the hospital and William neck deep into his experiment and work, there was no one else to take care of the Afton children. Michael refused to call Uncle Henry for help, and he wouldn’t have admitted it but looking after his siblings as if he’s a parent, even if he definitely shouldn’t have had to because he’s barely a teenager, gave him a sense of normalcy because he knew that at least they weren’t being that neglected.

Clara dies from Cystic Fibrosis. Michael takes it out on his brother bc yknow how anger is part of grief¿ Yeah…

Abby dies to Circus Baby at the age of 6. Evan saw it happen from afar. This didn’t help in the slightest with Michael’s grief, and with kids being dumb in general, the bullying towards Evan gets worse. Michael just wanted be loved just like how Father loved his brother, to have his attention.

After loosing Abby, William goes apeshit (lmao), and he kills Charlotte Emily out of jealousy while wishing to make Henry feel the same way he does so they're equal. Michael loses his best friend.

To make sure his youngest child, Evan, doesn’t go near to any animatronic unlike his sister, William gives him a Fredbear plush with a modulated speaker and camera to monitor him at all times. He would constantly instill that the animatronics were dangerous monsters and remind him of “what he saw” when speaking at Evan through the plush, settling a new fear in him in hopes to keep his child as far away as possible from the machines.

Evan is bullied by his older brother Michael on his birthday and forces him inside Fredbear’s mouth. Due to Evan’s tears and pushing when trying to get out, the moisture and jerky movements caused the jaw spring-locks to go back into their default position, closed.

In 1983, Fredbear bites Evan's head on his 8th birthday, leaving him in a coma.

“Can you hear me?”

“I don’t know if you can hear me.”

“…I’m sorry.”

Evan dies a week later due to his injury. Everything goes into an even steeper downhill.

Michael was only 13 years old when all this unfolded, and began to suffer from AvPD (avoidant personality disorder). This disorder began to develop from William’s emotional neglect, and got worse after the rejection he received from others after the bite of ‘83, specially from his friend group and classmates, practically becoming an outsider.

As a punishment for what he did, William tested the illusion discs with Michael by tormenting him all night with the nightmare animatronics (this is also why Michael knows how to draw nightmare fredbear in the survival logbook). Michael underwent severe sleep deprivation to the point where he even hallucinated hospital objects in his room from when he constantly visited Evan before passing away. If he wasn’t trying to doze of whenever he could, Mike was in a constant state of paranoia throughout the daytime.

On his first night Michael almost didn’t make it, since right as Foxy jumped him the grandfather clock chimed, leaving him with a scratch on his chin from Foxy’s hook. When telling his William about it he just gaslighted him into thinking if was simply nightmares and not real for the entire week. Micheal cried for the first time ever since his brother died.

William did like Clara, Evan, and Abby, he just hates Michael and blames him for everything, so like their deaths add to the reason why he went apeshit, as he starts murdering children out of madness and spite towards Michael (He wanted to murder him but knew that he would get pinpointed by the police too fast). The first missing children incident occurred in 1985. They get stuffed inside the classic animatronics, and William discovers remnant. Fredbear’s Family Diner closes down after the backlash.

One day William simply came back home to another empty bedroom. His only son had moved out to live on his own, away from anything related to his Father. Despite not having received any prior disclosure about this, William didn’t have any reaction whatsoever and went back to his experiments without comments.

He then went on the run from Henry after he got released from his conviction due to the lack of evidence, Henry finally realizing that William killed those kids and most likely also murdered Charlotte. Some years pass and Fazbear Entertainment, now in the solo ownership of Henry, opens a new location, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (fnaf 2).

After moving out, Michael gets a small house in a really social suburb where all neighbors know each other, and a job that deals with repairs and heavy machinery, nothing crazy. He also meets a guy named Jeremy and begins a discreet relationship with him. Michael receives a letter from his Father telling him about the sister location. On one of his shifts he gets a hold of the illusion disc that was removed from Funtime Freddy and takes it with him (this will be important later).

He was 17 when he died, his vital organs getting scooped and replaced by Ennard, wore as a rotting suit. After regaining control of his body Michael isolates himself, ignoring all the worried calls from Jeremy. He never got the chance to go to college, and grow up like everyone else. He was just a kid, when he died.

Michael suffers from Eisoptrophobia. The fear of seeing oneself in the mirror; is a very infrequent specific phobia. Many believe that this fear occurs in response to several factors such as superstition, poor self-image, or the result of a traumatic event. In his case, Michael is terrified of his reflection due to the likeness he shares with his Father and later fears that he's just like him, a murderer. At first he would simply cover them up with a towel or something but after getting scooped his phobia just gets worse and straight up just breaks all mirrors with his fist if he ever catches a glimpse.

The beginning of his phobia takes place after the bite of ‘83 when seeing his reflection. His tangled hair was greasy from the lack of a shower since he refused to leave Evan’s side. Then he saw how it curled around his neck and the dry blood that was still stuck to his hair. In a panic he started to cut it, snipping everything away. Michael refused to let his hair grow out like that, not wanting to remind himself of that day anymore, and he's not had his hair long ever since.

That’s why my Mike has short hair, and after getting scooped he gets a long wig since he doesn’t even bother to look in the mirror. Funnily enough, his facial features resemble even more those of his Father after the scoop, showing just how William already looked dead as time went by, way before actually dying.

After moving out of his Father’s house his AvPD symptoms seemed to alleviate a lot. That’s how he began to open up and be social to his neighbors and even start a relationship with Jeremy.

But you know how life tends to suddenly drag you even deeper when things barely begin to look in a positive light? Yeah, he got scooped right after “tasting the honey on his lips” of a promising future. Basically, the AvPD hit Michael like a truck in the worst way possible after getting tricked by Ennard.

Later Mike makes his mission to find his Father and make him pay for what he’s done.

William sneaks inside Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza restaurant and takes away several parts from the classic ones, making them look severely withered. Tries to make a remnant but it’s not enough with just spare parts.

In desperate need of more remnant William goes on another killing spree, and the second missing children incident takes place. They get stuffed in the tampered toy animatronics. The restaurant gets shut down. But one employee didn’t get the memo.

The bite of 1987 happens on the 6th day after being moved to the dayshift. Jeremy was looking for Michael all over the state but he suffered terrible consequences because of it. When hearing about this Michael takes the job under the fake alias Fritz Smith and uses the illusion disc to pass as a normal person (who tf would employ an ourple person), but is fired the next day for tampering with the animatronics as well as his rotting odor.

Also, even though he only worked one shift, in one of his many close calls due to the animatronics being extremely aggressive, his illusion disc stopped working properly. He also obtained his old reliable flashlight in that location, and it has never left his side since then (that shit is so big and heavy that you could kill someone with it fr).

Then the withered animatronics get reconditioned and put in a new location (fnaf 1). The reason Michael uses the name Mike Schmidt is bc it’s his Mother’s last name, Michael is a momma’s boy. BC MAN HIS FATHER HATES HIM SO HE JUST SPENT ALL THE TIME WITH HIS MOM EVEN AFTER HE HAD HIS SIBLINGS BUT THEN SHE DIES AND BC OF HOW MUCH IT AFFECTED HIM HE STARTS TO BULLY EVAN AND FU C K.

Anyways, even after his illusion disc broke he somehow managed to get the job as a rotting corpse lmao, but Michael is fired again a week later for the same reasons from before and the place closes down. William breaks in and decides to take down the animatronics for good. However, he gets cornered by several vengeful spirits, getting spring-locked in an attempt to scare them away with the same suit he used to murder them.

The agony of his death fused his soul into this animatronic. He couldn’t move, barely able to twitch in this state. It exhausted him greatly when he tried. Just slouched over the wall, in a puddle of his own dried blood. His body spasms, wincing at the agony. He wasn’t numb. He could still feel metal in his flesh digging deeper with every movement. He groaned when trying to call out, but it sounded wheezy, filled with static from the voice box inside him. He couldn’t scream for help, despite doing his best. His body shuddered in anger, eyes flashing flickering light into the dark room he was in.

Henry visits his local to check on his failed animatronics one last time before it’s done for good but finds the classics destroyed and leading to the side room, finding William’s body inside the Spring Bonnie suit. At first glance Henry thought that he was dead but upon closer inspection he noticed the flickering eyes a rasping breathing. Somehow William was still alive, but unable to move.

Henry thought this fate was well deserved. After all, he firmly believed— no, knew that William was responsible of all the murders, of Charlotte, despite nothing being proved in court. So, with one last glance at someone he thought he once knew, he closed the door to the side room, leaving William to rot with his own agony. In later days Henry ordered the side room to be sealed off behind a fake wall.

Micheal spends the next decades looking for his Father and picking a liking to exploring abandoned places, learning the inner workings of his Father's animatronics in his spare time, which was easy since he's dealt with machinery before, and also hiding in the shadows.

Fnaf 3 takes place on 2023. Michael gets a job at Fazbear's Frights, even though he hates the whole concept of an attraction based on a real tragedy. The manager even included Michael in the attraction as a security guard due to his unsettling appearance. He hated that too.

Anyways, blah blah… the ourple boy commits arson and patricide and fnaf 6 takes place years later. Michael pities that he once considered Henry as family.

[Robogreg AU timeline starts here :D]

Michael scapes the fire with Helpy. The reason being that he doesn't feel he's finished his goal of bringing down the whole fazbear franchise, because until his Father's heritage is not turned to ashes he'll never be truly dead.

Fazbear entertainment tracks down Michael and proposes him employment (Since no one wants to employ a living carcass lmao) as engineer and programmer of the next animatronic lineup, the glamrocks. Micheal refuses at first but ends up accepting the job, seeing as tearing down the franchise from the inside was a viable option, so he start building prototypes.

After months of perfecting his engineering, Michael finds himself building a boy, out of pure loneliness. He named this prototype Gregory.

Gregory is NOT Evan. I mean yeah, he looks similar to him but lets just say that Michael couldn’t help but think of his brother when building a young child like Gregory, since back when he lived with Evan he had to take the parent role due to William being an absent Father. After finishing building Gregory, Michael feels ready to build the official glamrock lineup… with Gregory as his creative director (heheh). Michael for the first time feels like he’s not stuck at 17 anymore when around Gregory.

Michael learns that his Father became a fucking trojan virus (kek) after fazbear entertainment published their secondondary project of a VR game called “Help Wanted”, and knew about Vanny and her plans to bring William back to life.

But one day, long after Mike finished building all the glamrocks, he never came back to the warehouse where Gregory was. No one knows what happened to him, but it was safe to assume he was dead, for real this time.

Gregory had to fend for himself, being in possession of one illusion disc Michael gave him to use only if anything bad ever happened (he managed to fix it after many trials and errors), having to constantly hide and lurk around when the Megapizzaplex finished it’s construction over the warehouse. The Glamrocks got infected with malhare thanks to Vanessa's tampering.

Bonnie and Foxy get decommissioned and get replaced by a second generation of Glamrocks designed by a third party (A way to distinguish them is by the design choice of giving them tongues, like Monty and Roxy, and how they look overall more unfriendly and rough with their animal choice).

[Hilery the Hyena (my animatronic oc) was the prototype attempt of this third party to replicate Michael’s work with the core four after being unable to get their hands on the original blueprints when he disappeared.]

Then the events of security breach take place in March of 2035.

if you read all of that i applaud you like what the actual fuck are you okay, do you need help.
