Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today we’re just gonna try and pick up where we left off. Okay, so the last thing that we talked about was Elizabeth Afton’s death in 1983. You might be asking yourself, was that the bite of 83? Actually, it wasn’t.
1983: The bite of 83 belongs to Elizabeth’s brother, Evan Afton, also known as the crying child. After Elizabeth’s death, their father, William, tells his other two sons to never visit any animatronics, especially not alone. Evan, like his sister, is stubborn and visits Fredbear’s Diner without his father’s permission. William had knowledge of this, though, and came up with a plan to sway Evan away from the diner. This is kinda where the lore starts getting a bit more on the weird side. With his robotic expertise, William designs little sound illusion discs to hide around Evan’s room which induce nightmares of the animatronics, hoping to scare Evan away from them. He kept going to Fredbear’s, though, each day becoming more afraid than the last. Evan’s older brother Michael had planned for Evan’s birthday to be at FredBear’s Diner, but that wasn’t the only plan he had for his brother. On the day of the party, Michael had brought three friends with him, all wearing animatronic-themed masks. Being the crappy older brother he was, Michael picked Evan up along with the help of his friends and brought him over to the two spring-lock animatronic suits trying to scare him. They all picked Evan up, saying he wanted to give Fredbear a kiss, but then they stuffed Evan’s head and half of his body inside Fredbear’s mouth. Evan cried and shook like crazy as they laughed at him from afar. The thing Michael had no idea could happen was spring lock failures. It was the only downside to the spring-lock suits. If the person wearing the suit moves around too much or creates any type of moisture, like tears or sweat it causes the spring-locks to well, lock back in to the former position. In this case, Fredbear’s normal position would have his mouth closed. This malfunction happened to Evan, causing Fredbear’s mouth to close on him and bite down violently. Thus the bite of 83′ was created. After this, Fredbear’s Diner closed for good, and William’s wife left him, causing his descent into pure madness.
1984: Henry Emily, the former business partner of William Afton, thought for months about how he could save the business. He eventually came to the conclusion of creating a team to further increase the high standards of Fazbear Entertainment. This group of people came up with the new and more friendly-looking “toy” animatronics based on the original ones alongside new and more unique animatronics like balloon boy, while the old ones were put away for parts and service. We visit these in FNAF 2. Now all they needed was security. Henry thought for a while and also used his robot expertise to come up with a facial recognition system used by the animatronics. Henry also has a daughter. Her name is Charlotte, or Charlie for short. Henry needed a way to learn from William’s mistakes. He came up with an idea to keep Charlie safe no matter what. He created the animatronic called Marionette/The Puppet that would specifically look out for her. It stayed in the music box near the prize corner.
Year Unconfirmed: William had heard of the new restaurant with brand new animatronics, but Henry closed him out, making him very mad. William felt as if Henry didn’t understand his loss, so he decided to make him understand. His next target was the one and only daughter of Henry Emily, Charlotte.
That’s all for this week folks. Stay tuned and I’ll see you next week!
locklyn!! you are such a gifted storyteller, and i love to read your explanations of such an interesting universe : )
In all honesty, you covered things even I didn’t remember/know, and that’s saying something because my fnaf phase has spanned since the first game’s release
