anatomy details

[ptoma]

(( general info for Michael's physical details as of Pizzeria Simulator, 30 years post-scoop. none of this is at all anatomically correct or accurate and would never work in a real world setting, but FNAF is a bullshit setting so there's some leniency with what we can get away with. general warning: this post will detail a lot of gore and body horror. no images shown will be specifically grotesque, but there will be a lot of written descriptions of particularly disturbing body disfiguration and if that's not your thing, probably best to not read any further. also note, Five Nights at Freddy's will be shortened to FNAF, Sister Location as SL, Ultimate Custom Night as UCN, and Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria Simulator as FFPS. ))

MICHAEL AFTON Age 50s Gender male Height 5'7" Build scrawny Species zombie THE SCOOPER ONLY HURTS FOR A MOMENT Names Michael Afton (Mike Schmidt, Fritz Smith) Born october 7th 1968 Sexuality bi Occupation restaurant owner, robotics technician Voice PJ Heywood Artist CreatureXIII, commissioned by me! Height: Michael is around an average 5ft 7inches in height, much shorter than Ennard's original 6ft endoskeleton. Weight: Uncertain - Mike certainly feels heavy with a metal endoskeleton in his body, but he's also almost impossibly skinny and feels like he could be snapped in half with enough pressure. Hair: After dying 30 years ago and becoming a living corpse, Mike is completely bald. He uses a variety of wigs to hide it. Usually shoulder-length and curly or shaggy styles, colours are usually black or dark brown but he has the occasional brighter colour like white or purple if he's feeling fancy. Eyes: As per FNAF tradition, an endoskeleton shoved into a human body makes their eyes pop out of their sockets. Mike instead has purple animatronic eyes in his skull. They glow. Nobody knows why. Skin: "Purple Guy" for a reason. Mike's skin has turned into an ugly, desaturated shade of purple as a result of being scooped in SL. THEY THOUGHT I WAS YOU Visual. Michael comes across as a very strange and unfriendly individual who's missing more than a few marbles. There's an odd smell about him if you get too close. He's not particularly talkative unless he's explaining the ins and outs of his animatronic builds, promoting his business like a good salesman, or having a mad rant about various Freddy Fazbear related atrocities. Upon closer inspection, Michael's body is a pretty bizarre situation. Outside of his strange purple skin colour, there's also a massive amount of scarring across his entire torso, most notably in his abdomen where the Scooper struck him. Ennard did a poor job of patching him back up and left Mike to finish the job after its sudden exit into the sewers. There are several other scars along Mike's arms, legs, and face in his poor attempts at keeping his skin in place over the years. He's held together with staples, stitches, anything he could find that would work. Why isn't he dead? Nobody knows. In the SL Custom Night cutscenes, Ennard is seen being projectiled out of Mike's mouth as a jumbled mess of wires and eyeballs. Its endoskeleton is still inside Mike's body and keeps him standing upright, although very awkwardly and unnaturally. Bits and pieces remain inside like scraps of wires and cables, a few eyeballs, and Ennard's voice box (Ennard's jumpscare dialogue in UCN is simple static, therefore it's perfectly logical that said voice box stayed inside Mike's body, makes total sense.) Fashion. Mike makes significant effort in dressing presentably so as to be unassuming to the general public. He's often found in uniform: the tan pants and waistcoat, blue dress shirt, and purple tie is his regular day to day outfit as the owner of his pizzeria as seen in FFPS, but he still keeps his security guard uniform for occasional use. The guard uniform is either a deep purple or bright white shirt with a gold badge and nametag (Eggs Benedict most days, sometimes either Mike Schmidt or Fritz Smith depending on which name he feels like using at the time,) dark slacks, and a Fazbear Security hat. The rest of his body, Mike tries to keep covered. He wraps bandages around any exposed skin like his hands and around his neck, or he'll wear white gloves to keep his purple hands hidden. When in public, he'll hide his face behind a simple, white bear paper mask. He covers his bald head with wigs. He wears a Freddy Fazbear brand watch on his right wrist, and black polished shoes on his feet. Demeanor. Mike's behaviour varies depending on the situation. He can play the part of an enthusiastic, exciteable family restaurant owner when need be, selling his brand and entertaining gross, icky children. But if it's not required of him, Mike is a grumpy sour puss. He's quick to be snappy and argumentative, prone to brooding on his own and wallowing in his self-pity. Hard to blame the guy after you hear his story. Other times, Mike just comes across as a very sad old man. He carries a heavy weight on his shoulders, traumatized from his early years suffering his father's abuse and the unfortunate accident he caused that killed his younger brother as well as his neglect over his younger sister that also resulted in her death, and he's further damaged by his attempts at setting things right only ending in disastrous failures. He's never felt truly loved or appreciated, or wanted much at all. As desperate as he is for companionship and understanding, Mike also knows full well that he doesn't deserve it. Aural. Michael's voice is PJ Heywood, as heard in SL's Custom Night Secret Ending. This means that he also sounds nearly identical to his father, on top of physically resembling him. He has an English accent as do William and Elizabeth in SL. But as heard in the final moments of that cutscene, Mike's voice can on occasion become warped and distorted, likely thanks to Ennard's voice box still stuck inside him. UNNECESSARY BULLSHIT HEADCANONS SCREECH: With Ennard's voice box, he is capable of changing his voice to another's, just as Ennard did to manipulate him in SL. As owner of his restaurant he tends to use Handunit's voice to sound professional and condescending. He can also use Motion Trigger to mimic a female voice. Just like Ennard, Mike can also use Circus Baby's voice if he's feeling particularly malicious. Or if it's a phone call he'd rather not be dealing with, Angsty Teen works perfectly well. And if he's had a rather bad day and needs to let it all out, or if he needs to scream for whatever reason, Ennard's jumpscare screech is heard instead of his normal voice. Eyes: Since Michael's eyes are animatronic eyes, they're a size too large for a normal human skull to fit into properly. As a result there are several cracks and broken pieces of bone around his eye sockets. No idea why his eyes glow purple, or how he can see through them at all, but being blind on top of everything else he's been through just felt like too much. Electronics: Thanks again to Ennard, Mike has some minor control or influence over electronic devices. He can't directly affect something, but characters might notice their cell or Wi-Fi signal drop a few bars around him, monitors may start to show a bit of static, radios might temporarily lose their signal. Mike can also control the random wires and cables in his restaurant in order to help him move around when the pizzeria is closed for the day, assisting his otherwise slowed and janky movements much like how Ennard used them to move around the vents and ceilings in SL. Paranormal: As per FNAF tradition, Mike is very susceptible to paranormal events involving lost souls of the dead. He's still haunted by the deaths of his siblings, and he'll see their ghosts or the spirits of other lost children killed by his father, but he'll be quick to dismiss it and call himself delusional. Hard to say whether the phantoms in FNAF3 were real or not. Movement: The endoskeleton inside Michael doesn't move like a regular human body does, with all its tendons and muscles and joints, and it results in him moving rather awkwardly almost like a zombie. (for reference, Monster Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine is a decent example of how Michael walks.) He has difficultly lifting his feet and often drags them on the ground to move, and while he retains dexterity in his fingers and wrists, his arms move stiffly and jilted. Occasionally his joints will make creaking sounds, which requires opening up and maintaining them with oils and lubricants. Sometimes he ends up spitting some of it out. It's unpleasant. Touch: Ennard's attack and subsequent departure have left Michael in essentially constant pain, being a dead man unable to die. After 30 years he's grown accustomed to it, but it still affects his day to day life. He doesn't sleep, unable to eat, can't enjoy simple things like a quick drag on a cigarette. He can still feel physical touch but his pain tolerance is through the roof, so his regular maintenance on his body doesn't bother him anymore. Sex: On the off chance it comes up in RP, Mike is incapable of sexual relations. There's no bloodflow in his body so there's nothing working downstairs. Anything shipping-related can be discussed OOCly of course, but it's best to be up front about sexy business to set expectations. permissions art credit, code credit
