I can & will steal lore from my favorite video game series <3

TW: murder, specifically child murder

1957 - Genesis H. Voltrian is born.

1973 - Gregory Hart is born.

1977

Genesis founded ElectroGear Software, which focuses on kitchen appliances. He quickly moves into electronics / video games, starting his first establishment: Electric Enterprises.

In addition to arcade machines, the restaurant also had an animatronic band [referred to as the OG Trio]: Sorrow the Skunk (guitarist), Stormi Spider (drummer), Alpha Wolf (singer); with two suits employees can use: Pluto & Angie Mage [PM & AM], who were cats.

Genesis murders his niece / sister-in-law, Tiffany Sparks, behind the arcade. To hide her body, he stuffs her into an unused arcade machine called ‘Polybius’. Tiffany goes on to possess Polybius, thus creating the urban legend surrounding it.

1983

Electric Enterprises is on the verge of getting shut down after multiple complaints from parents about the machines causing seizures, migraines, and addictive tendencies their children had after playing it.

Genesis & Phoebe have 3 kids: Micha Voltrian (M9), Chris Voltrian (M6), Echo Voltrian (F2). They all live very close to SH.

Chris has always been scared of the animatronics, he feels uneasy whenever he sees them & cries every time he’s close to one. Micha & his friends [Will Mongtomery, Maria Torres, Benji Woods] decide to pull a small ‘prank’ on his birthday: drag him close to the animatronics & lift him up so he can say ‘hi’.

Because it’s his birthday, the restaurant is closed & only a small number of people are there: Genesis, Phoebe, Echo, Chris’ friends, Micha’s friends, and a couple of employees.

To try and stop the ‘prank’, Tiffany goes on to possess Alpha. Unfortunately, her Soul is far too confused, not having enough time to adjust to its new body. Alpha proceeds to kill Chris. Horrified, Tiffany leaves Alpha’s body, allowing Chris to possess her instead. Tiffany goes back to Polybius, then into Stormi when the place gets officially shut down.

1987

Wanting to rebrand, Genesis opens a new establishment, a restaurant this time, called “SafeHaven” [SH]. Despite it’s innocent-sounding name, the place actually has an ‘edgier’ style; the rebrand also included catering more towards older children (previously, their primary focus was 2 - 10 year olds. Now, however, they’re focusing more on the (pre)teen [12 - 16] demographic).

The OG Trio [Sorrow, Stormi, Alpha] are put into storage inside SH, their old parts being used to repair the new animatronics.

This one had an actual ‘theme’ to it: woodland animals / nature. The animatronics were called “Woodland Creatures” and based on cryptids: Jack the Jackalope (guitarist), Bernie Bigfoot (singer), Lunar Moth (drummer). The new animatronics also have updated security, being able to facially recognize civilians & criminals.

Chris, angered by his death, starts tormenting the night guards until Tiffany convinces him to stop. Chris moves into Bernie & convinces the other two that all the adults are criminals, and therefore they must be attacked. So they are. Jack bashes someone’s head in with his guitar and Lunar strangles someone to death.

While all this is happening, Genesis puts on the PM Suit & lures a child to the back to be murdered, where Tiffany sees & prevents him from doing so.

SafeHaven gets shut down.

1988

Micha (14) & his friends [Will Mongtomery, Maria Torres, Benji Woods] check out SafeHaven. Genesis is also there, having overheard their plans from Micha.

Genesis [in PM Suit] murders Will, Maria, Benji & stuffs them into the animatronics (Will - Bernie, Maria - Lunar, Benji - Jack). Chris [in Alpha] & Tiffany [in Stormi] try to stop him / help the kids, but they’re only able to save Micha, who goes missing afterwards.

Genesis is arrested & charged with murder, but nothing could be proven (if Micha was there Genesis would’ve been arrested, which might be why he ran away) so he was let go. Genesis & Phoebe get divorced, with Phoebe taking custody of Echo (7), their only remaining child.

Genesis meets Wesley Hart, a single mother to Gregory Hart (M15). Wesley knows vaguely about what happened: she knows that Genesis was involved in the arcade / restaurant business & it didn’t go so well. They become close, with Genesis becoming a mentor to Gregory.

The two start working on JoyHall Game Center.

1994

JoyHall Game Center opens. It’s another arcade, this time without the animatronics. The OG Trio & Woodland Creatures are put into storage. The Spirits possessing the animatronics [Chris, Tiffany, Will, Maria, Benji] move into the arcade machines and later, Cyberspace, where they currently reside.

Phoebe, hearing about Wesley, goes to warn her about Genesis. She takes Echo (13) with her, hoping for it to be a quick trip.

While Phoebe is looking for Genesis and/or Wesley, she lets Echo play the arcade games. Echo wanders out of her mother’s sight & finds Polybius, which the Spirits / Computer Errors now use to spy on JoyHall. Upon seeing his sister, Chris has some sort of mental break & accidentally electrocutes her. Her Soul is then taken into Cyberspace by Tiffany.

Micha (20), who’d been living in foster care under a different name, hears about his sister’s death & gets back in touch with his parents. He meets Wesley, and with the help of Phoebe, tells her the tragedy the family has gone through. Horrified, Wesley distances herself from Genesis & tries to get Gregory (21) to do the same, but he thinks that it’s all just coincidence.

Micha decides that his father is acting...well, he’s not exactly sure how to describe it, but he definitely suspects Genesis knows more than he’s letting on. So, he breaks into JoyHall during the night to perform his own investigation.

Unfortunately, Genesis anticipates this, and instead of having a normal conversation with Micha, Genesis confronts him at JoyHall. Well, more like knock him out & kidnap him, but whatever.

Genesis takes Micha below JoyHall, to the basement where he starts experimenting on him.

& that's sort of where the timeline ends rn, but there is more for Gregory dw 😉
