Complete Monster Proposal Thread

Sense the timeline is a bit complex, not all of these happen in order, FYI. This was just the easiest way to write things down.

The Co-Founder of Fazbear Entertainment, and the feared ‘purple man’ behind the murders at Freddy Fazbear’s.

William’s home life is a bit vague, we do get some explanations from Word of God, he had a relatively normal childhood before leaving home. He would, at some point, start a family with a woman named Marion, and start a business with Henry….

William was a very charismatic, and friendly individual, all hiding the fact that he was an ice-cold sociopath. At one point he kidnapped Henry’s son Sammy, who was never seen from again.

Later on, Henry ended up dying from a springlock accident. William had nothing to do with it…but, Henry's death and possesion of the animatronic he wore, 'Fredbear' did inspire some of his crimes.

Now, remember that family I mentioned? His oldest was Michael, then he had Gabriel, and a daughter named Elizabeth. Finally, he had one last son, with his wife dying in childbirth. William named this last child after Marion.

He was emotionally abusive to Michael, eventually driving him away. He supposedly treated Elizabeth as a ‘princess’ but was physically abusive to her at times. He would allow Gabriel to bully Marion jr(Who I will just refer to as Marion for the rest of the post, for simplicity’s sake).

William would build the “funtime” line of animatronics. Machines designed to capture and kill kids, the funtime ‘Circus baby’ ended up killing Elizabeth, resulting in her possessing it. He left the funtimes, despite one of them being possessed by his daughter, in an ARI facility where they were regularly tortured with electric shocks. The funtimes would also end up being possessed by some of his victims, and they were still tortured.

Eventually, Gabriel's bullying of his brother got a bit extreme, one day accidentally killing Marion by shoving him in the mouth of the animatronic Fredbear. Marion would go on to possess the animatronic ‘the puppet’/’The Marionette’.

William ends up kidnapping Gabriel and his friends, performing some horrid experiments on them…in particular, one where they would be in a bedroom, forced to fend off the ‘’nightmare animatronics' night after night on repeat. William finally ended up killing them, before bringing them back to Freddy’s and hiding them there, Marion would find them and would help their souls find new life in the classic set of animatronics. With Gabriel haunting the animatronic Foxy.

They were not the last ones William would kill, oh nooo. William would kill many, many more kids. Some through his bare hands, others through the funtime service. Many of his victims ended up possessing animatronics.

He manipulated Michael into going to the ARI facility, saying he could help his lost sister. Mike initially rejected the offer but accepted it once he started looking for his friend Ben(Who got killed by the funtimes but would later possess a mess of wires), this resulted in Michael getting scooped out and worn as a skinsuit by the funtimes.

Now, eventually, he ended up forming a new identity for himself to avoid his troubled reputation and the many rumors that followed him. 'Frederick Fazzman'. He took Marion home, and continued to run Freddy's. He was known as a good guy and boss….still covering up the shadier stuff at Freddy's, keeping employees from calling the right people when someone had an injury and the like.

At some point, hired Mike Schmidt(Not the same as Michael Afton, here), a young runaway. Mike worked as a security guard at the new Freddy's, with ‘Frederick’ being a bit of a father figure to the boy. Now, he eventually suffered a heart attack. He left Mike his home in his will, and another employee his car and warehouse. This leads to the full main story, where the characters initially believe Frederick to have been a good, if flawed man ...and then finding out the truth near the end, with at least our main characters finally discovering what a monster he truly was, and trying to move on.

And, in a shocking twist, that wasn't the end for good old Willie! In the sequel, it's revealed that he built a computer tower, a ‘tether’ for himself in the basement. Once he died, his soul was tied to his tether and he was kept in a spiritual sub-dimension between life and death. There, he would take on a new identity, the Gator spirit ‘Old Man Consequences'. In this new form, he resided near a ‘lake’ in the spirit plaine with supernatural abilities. He was able to influence or gain control of people through his computers’ connection to the phone line system in the town.

As OMC, he would take control of a former employee of his, ‘Dave Miller', he would have Dave kidnap several children and stash them at the Magictime theater, where Dave was employed. At one point, Charlie, the now teenage daughter of his old friend Henry? Tried to stop him and rescue a girl he kidnapped. The possessed Dave would kill Charlie by running her over(Marion is able to save Charlie by binding her soul with the ‘security puppet’, an animatronic similar to the marionette). Mike gets into a fight with Dave, defeating him and then freeing the kids. William killed Dave as he was an unstable host.

William then took control of the owner of the El Chip' restaurant, Glenn. He had Glenn trap Fritz Smith in a room with dangerous animatronics; Fritz thankfully got out unharmed.

William then took control of the detective, Clay Burke. Clay was suspicious of Foxy's, so William corrupted him into an insane Inspector Javert obsessed with the missing children's incident.

Now…during this, he also appeared to Mike in his dreams, using his Old Man Consequence's form. He would gain Mike's trust by assisting in certain situations.

He would make Clay do a number of crazy things, such as releasing a series of dangerous robots Will created called the ‘twisted ones’. Having him make a creepy shrine to the dead children and luring the protagonists down there, leading to a dangerous confrontation where Clay intimidated them with a gun. The protagonists are able to piece together that something was controlling Clay. The protags still have to fend off the wicked twisted ones.

William also infected Jeremy Fitzgerald, trying to corrupt him into a killer. And he would also infect Scott Caldwell, nearly killing him.

Now…at another point, William infects Charlie, pulling her mind into the spirit world. It would then infect Marion to do the same. Mike would find Marion in this state, before he was able to close his eyes and follow the 2 to the spirit plaine.They go to confront OMC, he is initially amicable before they start to question him, accusing him of being the one behind all this. OMC confesses to all of it. But explains himself a bit more…what he did with Dave, Glenn and Clay was not to ruin Foxy’s, it was to protect it. By having Dave kidnap several children at Magictime Theater, he ruined their reputation and got rid of competition for Foxy’s. By having Glenn nearly kill Fritz, he ruined Chipper's reputation as well. And his actions with Clay? Once the world saw what Clay had done, they would see a crazy man who couldn't let go of the past, who would be dropped from his position at the police. The murders at Freddy's would no longer be looked into and Foxy's would not have to deal with those old controversies.

Why did he do all this? Because he was..proud of Mike.

"I never thought you would make so much progress. Opening a new establishment, gathering my creations, taming them, keeping my work alive even once I was gone. My greatest accomplishment- he looks at me with such fear and still I cannot feel anything but joy in what he has become. All because of you." Old Man Consequences' voice lowered like he was becoming emotional. "You have exceeded all of my expectations for any employee."

That is when he finally unveils that he is William. After shocking the heroes with that revelation? He says he wants payment for all the help he has given Foxy’s. He wanted Charlie. He wanted to keep her soul with him forever, this made them furious. They refuse his offer, and he responds by chasing them through the spirit plain.

William also spiritually reached out to his daughter, Elizabeth(Who, as Baby, had joined the protagonists in the second story). He attempted to manipulate her into destroying Charlie’s physical, unconscious animatronic body. She was able to resist him, he coldly disowned Baby in response. Remarking "You are nothing to me. My daughter is dead."

Back to the mains, Mike is able to wake himself up and looks through the house for whatever William must be using to tether himself to reality. William continues to confront Marion and Charlie, they end up back at the lake. William continues trying to manipulate Marion into giving him Charlie, even threatening Mike. Marion blew up at William, asking how William could do any of this. He angrily tells William how he loved him once, how he was William’s son. Will, just coldly asked ‘are you sure?’. This finally pushed Marion over the edge, he pushed William into the burning, fiery water of the soul lake. The 2 struggled…And then, Mike is able to find the computer William attached his soul to, he destroyed it with a bat. Without anything tethering him to reality, William descended down the lake, being dragged away by multiple hands into the abyss.

The series has some other nasties to it. Henry gets hit with some huuuuge Adaptational Villainy, in this version he is Golden Freddy. He began a crusade that killed several nightguards, and later manipulates his own father into trying to pull a mass-murder suicide by planting the idea to lure several animatronics into a trap pizzeria, then subsequently burn them all. The newly revived Fazbear Entertainment in ‘Going home in a box’ has been secretly killing technicians. Baby and the funtimes brutally scooped out some people to find someone they could wear as a fleshsuit…

William outdoes all of em without even really trying. William murdered dozens of children, he is a dreadful father who put his son Gabriel through nightmarish experiments and eventually personally murdered him. He put the funtimes, possessed by the souls of some of his victims, and one by his daughter, in an ARI facility where they were regularly tortured via electric shocks. After his death he was not much better, trying to destroy Clay Burke’s life by taking control and driving him insane. Using Dave to run Charlie over and killing Dave himself, later trying to keep Charlie’s soul to himself forever….

Point is, William demolishes the standard, whether it's through grandiose villainy or small personal cruelty.

William, as both himself and in his ‘Frederick’ persona, was a charismatic businessman who kept a good image and made quite a few connections. It's made clear basically every connection he ever had was manipulative at best and outright abusive at worst.

His relationship with his wife is left unexplored, with Word of God saying he just viewed her as useful. Back in Freddy’s prime, he formed a relationship with Scott Caldwell, who he infects and nearly kills in the sequel.

In regards to his kids? As Frederick, he took care of his son Marion at his home and Scott claims that in his own warped way William loved Marion. In the sequel William torments him with sadistic nightmares when chasing him and makes it clear he just views Marion as a special ‘accomplishment’ of his own. During the old days, He was emotionally abusive to Michael. And even his ‘princess’, Elizabeth? He disowns her for not following his orders at the end of the second book, with flashbacks in the third revealing he was physically abusive to her in life. I ain’t even explaining why Gabriel ain’t mitigating,

Strangely, the closest he comes to actually having a redeeming quality is Mike. He served as a father figure to a young Mike after Mike ran away from home, and was weirdly better to him then with his own children. It is revealed that most of his schemes in the second book were a weird way to ‘protect’ Mike’s establishment Foxy’s. From getting rid of the competition Foxy’s was facing and making Clay look like a madman so he would be unable to do anything to Foxy’s reputation. He admits at the end of the second story that he was proud of everything Mike had done and how he exceeded all expectations.

Nonetheless? I don’t think this is mitigating either. His gratitude to Mike is in large part thanks to Mike keeping his legacy alive, he is still fine using his ‘help’ as leverage to try forcing Mike to give him Charlie’s soul.. And in case there was any doubt, there was his threat at the end, making it clear any care William has for anyone is purely conditional.

"…Mike truly is blessed, is he not?" William's sudden change in topic was alarming, because Marionette could already tell what was coming. "He has everything he needs. A thriving business, steady income, youth, the trust of the town. So many good things… So much temptation." The man hummed low in his suit, like a wild beast barely resisting the urge to pounce. "I have been very good to Mike. I fitted his employee to spare him being my new acolyte… But I could have him just as easily."

Charlie realized that William was talking about Jeremy and looked to Marionette. It was clear that he knew exactly what William was implying, but he said nothing. He was just frozen there.

"I've grown tired of this empty pond. Either she stays with me, or I leave through Mike. Make your choice," William finished. He said it without any emotion, uncaring of the callousness of his threat. He just didn't care, Marionette realized. He didn't care about them, or Mike who he claimed did so much, or any of his children, or Henry, or Scott, or anyone at all. He just wanted and he took, and Marionette was furious.
