Michael Afton

Michael Afton (also known as Mike Schmidt and Eggs Benedict) is the main protagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's game series, first appearing with his real name in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. He is one of the sons of William Afton, and older brother of Elizabeth Afton and Crying Child His background is mostly told via silent actions within retro-graphics, reading messages in red pen in the Survival Logbook, or by reading between the lines throughout the games. Between his mini game presence and piecing together information gleaned from the Survival Logbook, he is a talented artist as seen from the many drawings on the pages of the logbook drawn in red pen, and he has a bad habit of chewing bubblegum as seen on one of the questions, similar to Pete from Step Closer. He is quite sarcastic, evident from the many shrewd comments written about the company's lack of safety or concern for its employees, and has a snarky sense of humor, evident in both the Logbook and Sister Location monologue. The Logbook also shows that Michael is paranoid while on the job, suggesting that he sleeps with one eye open. When asked why he wanted the job on page six he states for the free pizza, implying that his reasons for working are fairly simple. In the book when asked in the form of a question what he would like for his end of week bonus, he circles the money basket instead of the exotic butters that he got from Sister Location, meaning like anyone else, he would've rather had a basket of cash than any other meaningless prize, showing Michael has his priorities straight and is a responsible person. He relates to Clara from the The Immortal and the Restless writing "Everything about this place is crazy and no one seems to notice except me." After Sister Location, Michael Afton's main goal was to find William, although it's unknown what he planned to do afterward Michael gets the job as a night guard in this location, under the name Mike Schmidt, apparently trying to get free pizza. The animatronics, believing that Michael is William, due to the fact that William is his biological father, mistake Michael for him and try to kill him. Michael then sits in the office surviving with nothing but cameras, lights, and doors for 5 nights until he gets fired after being caught tampering with the animatronics His role in the minigames is that of the Older Brother. Michael is the protagonist of the nights, being haunted in his nightmares by nightmarish variations of the animatronics. In these dreams, he is a frightened little boy, forced to defend his bedroom in a similar manner to his office. From his fifth night, he also faces Nightmare Fredbear, a monstrous representation of the day of his brother’s death. On his last two nights, he faces the enigmatic Nightmare and manages to triumph against it Why he has these dreams is up to speculation He is the technician of Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals and by extension, Circus Baby's Pizza World. He has been revealed to be the player in the final cutscene of Custom Night, where he seems to have a British accent In Sister Location, Michael is instructed by his father to go to the underground facility and find his sister. This implies that William Afton is aware of the souls of the children staying behind, and knows his daughter's soul is within Circus Baby. Michael trusts his father, and goes to save his sister. On Night 1, Michael arrives at Circus Baby's, and HandUnit welcomes him, showing him how to check the animatronics' stages, and if they are not in their proper places, he must shock them to put them back on their stage. Michael successfully shocks Ballora and Funtime Foxy, but fails to shock Baby On Night 2, Michael checks Ballora and Foxy, but when he checks Baby, the controlled shocks do not work, requiring HandUnit to shut down the system. Baby begins to speak to him, and tells him to hide beneath the desk. After surviving the Bidybabs, Michael crawls through Ballora Gallery, avoiding her by listening for her music. He then reaches the Breaker Room, where he restarts all the systems while playing audio to keep Funtime Freddy from attacking him. Michael then leaves Circus Baby's On Night 3, Michael returns, checking Ballora and Funtime Foxy. He then runs through Funtime Auditorium while avoiding Funtime Foxy. Michael reaches Parts and Service, where he performs a repair on Freddy, and catches Bon Bon in order to get Freddy's second power module. When he returns through Funtime Auditorium, Foxy attacks him, knocking him out On Night 4, Michael wakes up in a springlock suit. Baby begins talking to him, explaining she kidnapped him. Then, two technicians enter the building, and send Ballora to the Scooping Room, where Michael is. He then gets to witness Ballora get scooped, and then has to survive an attack of Minireenas On Night 5, Michael checks the stages, only to see two hanged technicians. He then returns through Funtime Auditorium, and enters Parts and Service, to see a lifeless Circus Baby. She explains that she is pretending and something bad happened that day. He then enters a random number sequence into a keypad that flips out of Baby's left central faceplate. After entering the passcode, Michael gets a chip from her upper arm plate so she can communicate with him after she's been scooped Michael sends Baby to the Scooping Room. She then instructs him to go back into Funtime Auditorium and follow her instructions. Once Michael completes Baby's instructions, he enters the Scooping Room. Baby reveals that her helping him was instead part of a plot so she could use him as a host body for Ennard. As a result, Michael gets scooped and dies After beating a Custom Night on Very Hard mode, a secret cutscene plays which shows the events after Ennard put himself in Michael's body, replacing his organs In the first mini game, Michael looks like a normal man, wearing a purple shirt and blue pants. The people around him wave cheerfully In the second mini game, Everything is the same just with him having a minor skin color change from tan-pink to tan. The people around him continue to wave cheerfully In the third mini game, Michael's skin seems to be more of a green color. The first person he walks past has a bewildered expression on his face. The rest are normal, just waving cheerfully In the fourth mini game, Michael's skin becomes a darker greenish-brown; his eyes are also now completely black. The last three people he walks by look confused In the fifth mini game, he looks much more decrepit than he did in the past mini games, with a strange glowing in one eye and the loss of some hair. Everyone around him seem very concerned In the sixth mini game, his skin has turned a dull purple, now having a white glow in both of his eyes and no hair. He also acts to be more senile and less cheerful than he was before. There are fewer people around him and one of them is hiding behind their house in fear In the last mini game, he is hunched over and his skin is a dark purple color. He has lost both shoes, and his appearance is now very reminiscent of his father's Purple Guy form. Everyone around him has hidden behind their houses in dread Eventually, his body has a spasm, and he regurgitates the robotic parts belonging to Ennard into the sewer. He lies on the ground, presumably dead. The player then hears Baby's voice repeating "you won't die", and Michael gets back up while all of the Ennard's eyes show up in the sewer. Finally freeing Elizabeth, Michael's only remaining goal is to "find" William, although it's unknown what that means Some time after Fazbear's Fright burnt down, Michael took the job of manager of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, in order to possibly achieve his final goal of finding and ending his father. After buying a Fazbear franchisee package, he was left with $100 as a starter budget, and was aided by Tutorial Unit. As well as working on the Pizzeria itself, he became acquainted with his Managerial Office. He was told to prepare for a "big party" on Saturday, which would act as his "ultimate test" Michael was also tasked under paragraph 4 in his contract with salvaging vintage animatronics which had appeared in the back alley, supposedly for parts. The first of these was the remnants of Ennard, now known as Molten Freddy. Over the next few days, he salvaged his father, now in the form of Scraptrap, his sister, now in the form of Scrap Baby, and the mysterious Lefty. While in his office, during his managerial shifts, Michael fended off the salvaged animatronics, by luring them with sounds, and using the resources available to him On Saturday, Mike's boss revealed that the Pizzeria was a trap for all the remaining animatronics, with Mike having kept them distracted by luring them around the labyrinth in the vents in circles. Henry praised Michael as his "brave volunteer", telling him that, while there had been a way out, he knew Michael did not want it. Henry then burned down the Pizzeria to free the souls and kill everybody, including Michael and himself When finishing each of the Custom Night challenges in Sister Location on the hardest difficulty, the reward will be a series of retro-style cutscenes that show Michael and his decaying body, ending with a final scene where Michael gives a long speech addressing his father. William Afton was thought to be the protagonist of Sister Location, Eggs Benedict, before it was revealed that it was Michael. Michael rotting and turning purple, and the appearance of Springtrap after Michael's speech, led some fans to be confused regarding if Mike was Purple Guy, if there were two Purple Guys, if William Afton even existed in the games, or if Mike was Springtrap. Michael Afton's goal in Sister Location seems to be to put his sister back together. Springtrap appearing in the wreckage of Fazbear's Fright during Michael's speech after Mike's line "I'm going to come find you," fans speculate, could be an indication that FNaF 3 is when Mike finally finds his father, as Springtrap, and some theorists believe Michael was even the one who burned it down. Michael is heavily implied to be the protagonist of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, since the voice lines for Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby and William Afton suggest that all of them know the protagonist closely. The Survival Logbook features a page asking about recent dreams. Mike, the night guard writing/drawing in the Logbook, draws Nightmare Fredbear, heavily suggesting he is the one having the nightmares in FNaF 4's main gameplay. A spirit writing in faded text in the Logbook asks "Do you have dreams?" on the same page as Michael's drawing. Michael tells his father "they thought I was you," presumably in reference to the Funtime animatronics mistaking him for William. Arguably, this explains why Mike is repeatedly attacked by animatronics throughout the series. If he looks exactly like his father, a serial child-killer, the angry spirits of children would want to get revenge, and/or their facial recognition systems would register him as a criminal. However, it should be noted that the children still went after Phone Guy, Jeremy Fitzgerald and Fritz Smith, all of whom wouldn't have this same reasoning behind it. This may, unintentionally, have been foreshadowing, as this scene sparked the debate of Michael being Springtrap within the Community itself. The shadowy image used for him at the end of Sister Location resembles the famous singer Rick Astley, widely known for the 1987 hit classic "Never Gonna Give You Up." According to the Logbook, Mike has a habit of chewing gum. The appearance of numerous coffee rings seen on the Logbook pages may indicate something of a caffeine addiction. In every game there is a soda cup on the desk, even in FFPS, which may also indicate this. This strangely also applies to Jeremy Fitzgerald and Fritz Smith. Both of these characteristics are shared with Pete Dinglewood, a separate character from the story Fazbear Frights: Step Closer. The Logbook also says that Michael relates to Clara from The Immortal and the Restless, because no one believes them. He'd rather lose his arm than his frontal lobe. It was debated whether Michael Afton is the Crying Child, the Older Brother (aka Foxy Bro) from FNaF 4, or another brother completely separate from both of those. However, the Five Nights at Freddy's Interactive Novel: The Week Before has since confirmed him to be the Older Brother.

Appearance: Michael Afton has purple skin due to being undead. He resembles Rick Ashley in looks, and has brown fluffy, medium lenght hair, which is tied in a bun at the back. He wears a light blue shirt with a black tie and a yellow vest and pants, along with black shoes. He has bandages covering his arms and a happy yellow bear mask to cover himself with.
