Shoki [ 祥伎 ]

• Bigender (He/She)
• Fox Bellhop is his guardian; hence why she works for Big Mama, it's sort of a family business.
• He was born without her leg and left abandoned, which is how the Bellhop stumbled upon him and took pity.
• Shock of shockers Shoki wasn't a regular old fox yokai but a kitsune kit
• Big Mama was very pleased with this turn of events
• Basically Rise's Kitsune but not at all like IDW's
• Made up of the Remnant/memories of Classic Foxy and Toy "Funtime" Foxy(Mangle); has a little bit of Fritz's, the MCI kid, memory as well
• Is not a reincarnation of Fritz, only of Classic and Toy Foxy
• She loses her hand in an accident in his early teens
• Childhood friends with the Bonnie's
• Lives in the part of Witch Town closest to the Nexus
• Shoki's Big Mama's Sorcerer Outfit pulls colors from Big Mama's palette

Malhare gets abandoned by Afton after the events of Help Wanted, which understandably leaves the virus hurt and vengeful, hence the heelturn to the good guy's side and a new look compared to Glitchtrap.

I may change up some stuff later, but this is basically Malhare's design for the AU.

Pre- and Post- Multiverse adventure.

Malhare is a crybaby, and while based off of Afton himself, was designed to be a version of Spring Bonnie's show persona, childish and whimsical to entertain the kids. Plus with access to beta testers, data of Faz Ent. employees and whatever Internet access it could get, affected how Malhare developed.

Haruki

• They/them
• Okay so not all of the animatronics had happy reincarnations, some got kinda shit deals and Spring was unfortunately one of them
• The Bonnie brothers birth parents ended up racking up a debt to Big Mama so to pay it off they sold off Spring to work to pay off their debt
• Spring did a very good job working for BM and eventually made it up to one of her main aides, so when the time came that they finally payed off their parent's debt she had invited them to chat over their future because they knew too much of her operations so she had no intention of letting them go once the debt was cleared
• However
• Spring had had quite enough of being used by others to cover up their dirty deeds(fuck you afton) so instead asked Big Mama that instead of accepting the payment of their labor as clearing the debt they wanted their 'parents' to be saddled with the debt and for her to help them get custody of their brothers and to continue working for her
• And Big Mama loves changing the terms of the deal at the last second
• Big Mama in this AU is a tsuchigumo and when Spring gets custody and stuff and starts getting paperwork for the Hidden City done they and the twins ask her for new names since they want nothing of their 'parents'
• Hence while 'American' they have Japanese first names
• Big Mama does not have a motherly role towards the Bonnies, at most its wine aunt or mentor, shes just their 'friendly' boss
• Now riseverse backstory is over more about Haruki/Spring!
• Spring Bonnie's real name is Bonnabun like Golden Freddy being Fredbear; i love this headcanon a lot i got the name from either a Tumblr post or youtube comment i dont remember...
• The animatronics being sentient has to do with a bit of the book lore like how even though Charlie is a robot the remnant of her experiences and emotions gave her soul is how the animatronics gained theirs; ie them being classified as tsukomogami, yokai that are objects come to life
• The animatronics just fast-tracked it with being stuffed with soul juice of murdered kids 🙃
• Anyway the Springlock suits were gaining sentience but then the Bite of 83 and MCI happened, and Fredbear realized it was too much for his body to hold so many consciences so he let himself fade away and basically died so the kids could have his body
• Unfortunately he had also gone kinda catatonic/shutdown mode when the Bite happened so when the suits were locked away Bonnabun was stuck talking to a lifeless bloodied version of their dear friend for A While™ and then had an inexplicable knowing that their dear friend was slowly fading away and something Else was taking his place, something Other, something Angry, and It Didn't Like Spring Bonnie.
• So Bonnabun also just spent most of their time in shutdown/sleep mode, slowly fading away...
• Until one day...

Shion Bonnie Heeren

• Trans he/him
• Chimerism cuz i love purple bunny and also Bonnie Has Always Been Blue 'Cept That One Time Truthers are correct
• Another design note; Bonnie is usually depicted as the more serious counterpart to Toy Bonnie so his cheek fluff curls down and another difference between the twins is Bonnie's eyes are red to pink while Ruka's are pink to red
• Shion was the easiest to design for because Glamrock gave us an aesthetic and color palette to work with that I'm so happy with
• Shion is the reincarnation of Classic Bonnie and Glamrock, he also has Jeremy's remnant, he is not Jeremy's reicarnation
• Shion's main job is being one of Big Mama's elite fighters; for both the Battle Nexus and bodyguard/assassin-esque, like how her assistant is in-show
• He chips in as one of her bellhops sometimes as needed but when not one of her Oni Guard, he has a part-time job at a Hidden City bowling alley, He even performs there sometimes!
• Although he's been cutting back on that and his hours since a group started frequenting the establishment...

Alright so reasoning behind The Animatronic Reincarnation:

So in some myths foxes can become kitsune when they reach a certain age(usually~100), and they gain more tails as they age and/or gain mystical power. Another thing are Tsukumogami which are inanimate objects that gain sentience either by old age, being mistreated, or being carefully preserved.

I essentially combined these ideas as well as the Remnant/Agony Soul Creation deal with Book!Charlie, to explain why the main gang have souls to reincarnate. As old animatronics with advanced AI as well as the  remnant and agony from the MCI led to them developing proper sentience and more importantly; Life.

There are 2 types of yokai in New York's Hidden City; yokai and Yōkai. Yōkai are those of legend, myth, folktale etc, the more mystical; Shoki, Big Mama and Fairies are this. Yokai are regular citizens of NYHC, these are those with middling mystical abilities and some are only different from humans by being non-human, Señor Hueso, Bigfoot, Freddy, Chica and The Bonnies are this.

Not all of the reincarnated bots know eachother/reunited. The Bonnie Brothers(Haruki, Shion, Ruka) and Foxy(Shoki) are the only ones aware of everyone else being reincarnated(due to Big Mama connections) but have not reunited with everyone.

The Glamrock Gang; Freddy, Chica, Monty, and Roxy know eachother, whether they remember their past lives is a good question. The degree of remembrance varies between them. Monty and Roxy were humans mutated, Freddy and Chica are yokai in the Hidden City.

Ruka's boytoys: Funtime Freddy and Toy Freddy are also in rottmnt, i'll go more in depth in their individual chapters, they are unaware of eachother and everyone else. They were humans mutated.

In being reincarnated their memories were suppressed and gradually returned to them or were triggered. From a spectrum of least knowing to most knowing; Toy Freddy, Funtime Freddy, Freddy, Monty, Roxy, Chica, Fredbear, Haruki, Ruka, Shoki, Shion.

Ivana Azzopardi was a FazBear Employee that Glitchtrap took under his control. Vanessa Alberts, the current security guard of the Pizzaplex was a fellow gamer and employee on the tech side of things at FazInc™ before her girlfriend went missing, and following a lead from others who had said to have seen her at the 'Plex, took a job there.

I gave her a neapolitan color scheme as I was attached to the brown and pink of common Vanny designs. I also wanted her look to be basic, things that could've been found in her closet, and be handmade, as that's the resources you get for your murdersuit when you take over a broke recent college graduate Willy!

I originally sketched her with pigtails but I think I like this hairstyle better. Glitchtrap lost her glasses during one of his runarounds in her body and she hadn't bought a spare :/ . Vanessa is more of a worrywart than Ivana so she had convinced her to purchase one, and they made it a date. Unfortunately she became Afton's thrall before it can happen.
