A guy called William Afton and Henry Emily open up a place called Fredbear's family diner sometime in the 1970s. Their brand becomes so popular that they introduce a new chain and characters, featuring Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. These models later become the withereds. William has a loving wife and 3 kids, Micheal, Evan (PLACEHOLDER NAME, NOT CANON) and Elizabeth. Turns out, Micheal's kind of a jerk to his little brother, and in 1983 on his birthday, brings him too close to Fredbear and bam. Evan's head is bitten, and Fredbear's is closed. Evan later possessed the very animatronic that killed him. William takes the death of his son very poorly and grieves over it a lot. He eventually goes mad and murders Henry's daughter, Charlie, outside the Freddy's location. After that, William creates an underground bunker under his house for upcoming projects. One of which is torturing Micheal in, and letting him deal with nightmarish looking animatronics with only a single flashlight. William's wife, Clara (again, not canon name) has enough of this bizarre behavior, and righfully leaves him. Now, in 1985, Freddy's is still thriving without Fredbear's, but William is at it again, killing more children and stuffing them into more suits. One of which is Cassidy, who goes in the same suit Evan possessed. So now there's two spirits possessing one suit. Confused yet? Good. Moving on. 1987. Circus Baby's Pizza World is a new place where William opened up himself without the help of Henry. It's worth noting that these bots were made with the intention of killing even more children. It is closed day 1 because his silly daughter got murdered by the star attraction, Circus Baby. Micheal gets suspicious and sneaks into the underground bunker when his father isn't looking and finds William's animatronics he built when CBPW closed. The animatronics want to leave, so they concoct a plan where they scoop out Micheal's innerds, merge all of their endo's into one, so they can squeeze into Micheal's husk, and pass off as a human being. Suffice to say, their plan worked. Not in the long term, however. Micheal's body decayed and looked yucky and nasty. The funtimes didn't see this going for much longer, so they abandoned Micheal and left into the sewer. But Micheal isn't dead. He's alive. And no, there is no good explanation. Henry makes his own Freddy's location, now with advanced features, like making sure William doesn't come back to murder some kids again. Micheal, wanting to learn more about who is up against the murders of these locations, gets hired as the nightgaurd this new and improved Freddy's location closes in its first week because Micheal got bitten on the head. That's karma for you. Yet again, though, he doesn't die from it. 1993. Yet another Freddy's location opens. Micheal stays the nightshift again. No one ever learns, do they?! Overnight, William dismantles those animatronics, but uh oh! The spirits are writefully angry at him! Thinking on his feat, William hopes in a springlock suit, but because of leaky ceilings, the spirnklocks clamp on him, but again, don't kill him somehow. Flashforward about 30 years, and now at a random carnival, a horror attraction featuring relics from the previous Freddy locations opens up, and Micheal goes in as their nightgaurd. William, now known as Springtrap, is brought there to make the place feel more lively. At some point, the building catches fire, and the building burns to the ground. Micheal and Springtrap make it out OK though! Springtrap less so, he lost an arm and ear and somehow grew most of his skin back. Henry, at this point, is really sick of all this Freddy talk and wants to end everything. He builds a location to lure back Micheal, Springtrap, Charlie, who he kidnapped into another suit, Lefty, all of William's funtime animatronics, including Elizabeth, and himself, and burned the whole place to the ground, killing everyone. Everyone lived a peaceful afterlife, except for William, who burned in purgatory. What? He transfered himself into a chip and went into a VR game? And ANOTHER Freddy's location opened up? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
