Fnaf headcanons you will have to pry from my burnt-and-come-back-twice corpse. Unless I come up with something else that I like more
* Moved to the U.S. in the hopes of furthering his Remnant research
* Began researching Remnant very early in his life as a way to become immortal
* Started Afton Robotics BEFORE he even met Henry.
* Deliberately sabotaged his wife's dancing career so she would be a stay-at-home wife/mother
* Did NOT want to be a father, but wanted to keep his wife under his thumb, so he obliged
* Ended up really loving his kids
* Made the Funtime animatronics as gifts for his family:
* A ballerina for his wife, who never fulfilled her dream of dancing
* A fox for his oldest son's favorite animal
* A sweet clown baby doll for his beloved daughter
* A teddy bear w/a puppet for his youngest son, mirroring his favorite toys
* Wife threatened divorce and threatened to take Michael and their other son.
* William used his sons against his wife, and when he won custody of them, he killed her using Ballora.
* Left Circus Baby's behind and moved his family to the United States, where he met Henry.
* His obsession with Remnant renewed in an attempt to bring back his wife and daughter so the family could be put back together and perfect like they were before.
* William kills Charlie by accident (he fully intended to kill someone, he just didn't realize who he had killed until it was too late)
* William manipulates Michael into thinking everything bad is his fault
* He is genuinely distraught when his second son dies
* The Spring Bonnie suit will occasionally go off; eyes flashing, and saying pre-recorded sayings. When this happens, William has no control over the suit.
* He is 100% burning in hell
* Peepaw Afton from Security Breach is just code given life by Vanessa
* Made psychic friend fredbear to try and ease his son back to being comfortable around the animatronics
* Michael grew his hair out to both irritate his father and to look less like him
* Was a huge mama's boy. Was angry and resentful when she left, and felt guilty when she died.
* Blames himself for Elizabeth's death because he was supposed to be watching her.
* Got into soap operas because of his mom
* Was homeschooled until the Afton's moved to the states
* Didn't suspect a thing about his father's work until his brother was dead
* Was about 14-16 by the time William died in the suit (the first time)
* Post-Scoop, he wears a privacy mask to conceal his decaying face.
* The names he uses to get jobs at Freddy Fazbear's are: his mother's maiden name (Schmidt), and the names of his friends who "went missing" (Jeremy and Fritz).
* Was close with Charlie, like cousins.
* a total daddy's princess
* She forgot both of her brothers after her death, only remembering her father because her last thought before she died was of him.
* She didn't die immediately upon getting scooped. William fought until his fingers were bloody and broken to get Circus Baby to open up. She died when he finally got the hatch open and Circus Baby's claw launched back out and snapped her neck in the process. If William had simply shut Circus Baby down first, she might've lived.
* She got voted out of the Ennard tribe due to wanting to find her father. The others wanted to kill him, but she refused to let them. So they kicked her out.
* Elizabeth looked up to both William and Michael, hence why she had a Mangle toy. It was an old hand-me-down of her brother's.
* Was in the room when William pried Circus Baby open and saw his sister die.
* Was too young to really remember the details, but it still left an impact on his psyche.
* In death, he holds no ill will towards his brother (not his fault their dad made them killing machines)
* Was also close with Charlie. Saw her as an older sister (Which made William mad because he HAS an older sister already)
* His son, Sammy (Charlie's twin brother) died when he was around the age Elizabeth was when she got scooped.
* Was a struggling single-father.
* Had gone to college for robotics but had to drop due to his wife being pregnant. Never went back to complete his degree
* Was considered "Uncle Henry" to the Afton boys. And he loved them dearly.
* Was at the Diner when the Crying Child got chomped. He and William broke Fredbear's jaw to get him out. Henry took care of Michael while William was in the hospital with his youngest son.
* knew exactly what William was up to from the first missing child's incident. Said nothing because of William's manipulation AND because he was finally successful doing something he loved.
* He built the Security Puppet to protect Charlie when he couldn't be with her
* Did his best to gather evidence against William on the down low, but wasn't quick enough.
* Finally turned over the security footage of William as revenge for killing Charlie.
* Did his damndest to get custody of Michael while William was awaiting trial. Lost contact with him after everything was said and done.
* Knew William was in the suit when he sealed up the safe room
* Reopened a lot of the restaurants as ways to lure Michael back and try to help him.
* Once he found out about Remnant and ghost possessions and William being alive, he got to work on figuring out a way to lire them all to one location.
* He made Lefty to be as gentle as possible when capturing The Puppet, since that is his daughter.
* Most definitely has tattoos. Full sleeves on both arms in his later years.
* A silver fox before he dies
