I LOVE IT WHEN A CHARACTER WEARS SOMETHING ANOTHER CHARACTER DID AT ONE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!

[urecognized-talent]

Color me intrigued

Okay, okay, this'll be kinda long, so buckle in! I've decided to name it Afton's Redemption, though that was in the last few minutes, hah. ^^'

So first off, Clara, I've drawn her and put her on my blog before, but if you want a colour visual, I HAVE made her on Ashes Town!

She used to work at some diner as a waitress, and at the time she was quite comfortable looking more goth-y. (Also the necklace is supposed to be a pearl one! :D)

At some point, she and William met when he hadn't started Fredbear's with Henry yet. But it was a BIG dream of his. Needless to say, they hit it off, and they ended up having three kids; Michael, Evan, and Elizabeth.

For a while, things were good, and Will had everything he could want! But then... then it happened. Elizabeth's death.

See, Henry, in this AU, had a bit more of control in the design department. He also had an interest in remnant. So Baby's design was altered. He assured William that all was well, but Will, still worried, tried his hardest to not let Elizabeth interact with her much, if at all.

Lotta good that did, though to be fair, he tried his best. After that, Henry was more distant, despite William trying to talk to him about the fact he basically killed his daughter. Though William didn't feel too innocent in this situation either. Surely he could have done more... right? He uh... may have gotten into a bar fight that night because some insensitive prick decided to make an off-colour comment he shouldn't have.

For the next while, he was horribly stressed, and with everything he had to do for the funeral, his own work, the lawsuits that were slowly building... it was hard to keep an eye on his children, but he tried...

Though not hard enough it would seem.

Evan was tossed into Fredbear, and from there, everything continued to spiral. Two out of three children were gone, but that's not the worst of it. Clara was kept late in the diner that day, and so when William called her about Evan, and she rushed and sped over to the hospital... well... she didn't see where she was going and drove off a cliff.

William's life was RAPIDLY falling apart. Not long after, due to concerns that Mike would probably be hit with misfortune next, he was taken away from William by child services. And then two years later? The Bite of '87. Mike was the victim.

At that point, William was growing resentful of Henry. He had practically blocked him on everything at that point, and William about had enough. So he thought he should give him a taste of his own medicine.

Now, of course, the FNaF 2 location hadn't shut yet, that'd be in a few more days... so he ended up targeting Henry's 2 year old daughter, Charlotte. He didn't knife her, axe murder her, no... no, he simply gave her a poisoned cupcake. But he had such a debate on it. It wasn't right, but neither was him losing his entire family... But was it worth killing a child?

Eventually he went through with it, and drove out of there so terribly fast. He cried that night. Guilt overcame him, but he said not a thing. He didn't plan to kill anyone else. But... soon he came upon Henry's research. Maybe... maybe if he figured out how it worked... he could bring his family back...

Cue him having killed more kids. As well as him going back to see Baby at some point, after realizing that, well... Elizabeth was possessing her. Unfortunately that got him scooped, but as we know, Mr. Afton always comes back. He'd skipped around towns in Utah a few times, hid his accent, tried WAY too hard with a Texan one, and eased up on it eventually, and also happened to pick up a purple wig and a need for mints so he doesn't constantly smell like death. He's decomposed to the grape we all know and love, and at a point, after getting accused of murder, but not convicted... he kinda just stopped killing.

Mainly after taking the night shift. Because wouldn't you know it, someone special was his co-worker.

Mike.

Now, of course, William, now under the new name, Vincent Bishop, couldn't let on that he's his father... that'd have so much explaining Mike isn't ready for. So instead, he's managed to have a friend-like bond with him. Though you have to imagine Vincent's shock when he learned his eldest son lived.

Not all was good though, there's still an army of angry ghost children who want to stab Vincent in the face. Namely, the one who shares Golden Freddy with Evan. Cassidy.

Cassidy, understandably, is a moody little shit because his killer is like... right there. Night after night. And he will often try to make Vincent's life a living hell. He's tried to kill Mike a few times to get at Vincent, but Evan's stopped that every time. And Evan, despite knowing his dad is a murderer... still sees good in him. Maybe it's naïve? Who knows.

But Vincent's trying to redeem himself. He can't take back the lives he's taken. He knows this. He's not even trying to revive his children that have passed anymore, and he's left Clara to rest in peace, thank god... He can't tell Mike what he's done or his last son will forever be out of his life. And he won't do jail time. He doesn't want to be separated from his last remaining child longer than he has to be.

He's a monster... he's killed several children... but he's trying to make up for it, even if he'll still end up in hell for his crimes anyway.

My oh my this is long, and I'm sorry, but I simply had to ramble the lore out. ^^'
