Details about Henry Emily
As previously mentioned, Henry Emily is a Vietnam veteran who served as a combat engineer. However I figured I should clarify a bit more about when he served and what role he played in the overall series of my head-canon or randomized thoughts. Henry Emily actually enlisted with the United States Marine Corps at the age of 18 in mid-1967 in order to see what his father experienced in WW2 and Korea. By the mid-1967, most Americans were under the belief the war was winnable and that would be ending soon which is why he volunteered, thinking the war would end sometime after he enlisted and did a tour of duty in Vietnam. He finished training and would be sent over to Vietnam as a combat engineer with other Marines to nearby bases near Hue. Everyone was just counting their days and waiting for the war to end while the Vietnamese Lunar New Year approached in January of 1968. The Tet Offensive changed all thoughts as Hue was under siege by Viet Cong and units of the North Vietnamese Army. Henry and many Marines would be tasked with deadly street to street fighting along with even deadlier room to room clearing which was intense in an urban setting such as Hue. Henry Emily experienced the harshest of combat and was tasked with burning out enemy positions a few times with flamethrowers. It was a horrible ordeal and after the battle ended months later, Henry was a changed man. He would go on to finish his tour of duty and returned home to witness the changes of the American opinion of the war along with treatment to returning soldiers.
Henry spent the rest of 1968 struggling to figure out what to do as well as deal with the nightmares and memories of the war that left psychological scars on him. However, his father, a Marine who served in World War Two and Korea, was there to help him and encouraged his son to go to college along with being there to support him as he understood what he was going through. With this encouragement, Henry would go to college at the local university, studying to be an engineer and toying with robotics. He wanted to stay far away from violence and conflict, wanting to make happiness instead of pain and suffering. Hence his focus on animatronics as Disney was getting quite popular in the field and he could make a lot of money with such skills. During his first semester, he had an encounter with one Alison Reed, a hippy college girl. They initially disliked each other due to backgrounds until they just started talking to each other during an argument at a cafe which made them realize they weren’t who they thought they were. After this argument, the two began to socialize more and eventually started dating. Of course, the biggest event to happen in Henry’s life is his fateful encounter with his future friend-turned-enemy William Afton in 1969.

FNAF ARMA AU (continued)
Figured I go into more detail about the events of Michael’s time in Everon, life at home before enlistment, what happens while he’s gone and what he does after the Second Malden Islands Crisis ends.
For this setting, Michael is a combat engineer in the US Army building bases and outposts during the crisis along with deploying to the frontlines to engage Soviet forces and the FIA insurgents on the islands. He turns out to be very well suited to setting up bases, repairing vehicles and even some marksmanship which earns him respect from his brothers in arms during the conflict.
After the bite of ‘83 and Evan’s death, Michael was the only remaining child of William Afton but he couldn’t stand living with his father and ended up running away to see his Uncle Mike Schmidt. Mike and his wife, Dolores, end up go to court against William to get Michael away from him and win the case due to the fact he lost two kids through some of his own machines and lack of proper supervision (Elizabeth is presumed dead despite being listed as missing). So when 1986/1987 rolls around, Michael doesn’t get the call for Circus Baby’s and graduates from High School followed by enlistment to put more distance away from his father.
Because of lack of custody and Schmidt not letting him contact Michael, William has no choice but to hold off Circus Baby’s until 1989 which he finally caved in and tries to free Elizabeth himself. Naturally he finds out just how effective pumping himself full of remnant is after being used as a skin suit by his own machines and daughter. Despite this, he’s proud of her and continues to focus on his work on getting his daughter back and harvesting remnant. He went to the Pizzeria and destroyed the animatronics only to be springtrapped in his own suit and stuck in a hidden room to be forgotten.
After the crisis overseas is resolved with the Soviets withdrawing in defeat and the Union collapsing in the early 1990s, Michael returns home with many others considered heroes and lucky for the world had held its breath in fear of things going nuclear. Thankfully it didn’t and Michael was greeted by friends and his Uncle and family back home. Henry informs him that he’s been selected as the new owner of Freddy’s due to his fathers disappearance to which Michael decides to agree as a means of doing investigations on both his father and what really happened. Naturally he’s horrified by what he finds.
He figured about the whole remnant and projects involving Afton Robotics and has the company shut down and all its assets and projects destroyed while focussing strictly on Freddy’s. He creates a few new franchises which are successful and actively seeks to place those souls to rest. Unexpectedly, one such franchise owned by Henry suddenly burns down with Henry found dead. It’s a blow to Michael but he decides to keep it up. By 2020 and at the age of 49 or 50, Michael creates the Megaplex as an homage to the 1980s, Freddy’s and Henry’s dream. It has had a clean track record since then.
Gregory is the son of Michael Afton and his wife, Michelle. He is a troublemaker like his father before but thankfully not neglected like he was.
Headcanon of FNAF: (I got bored and decided to write something)
• Henry Emily served in the Vietnam war as a combat engineer. After his tour of duty, he vowed to build something that would bring joy and not destruction and death. Hence why he got into robotics and animatronics to create a kids restaurant. It would be in college that he met his wife and his future partner turned eventual enemy, William Afton.
• Michael Afton doesn’t speak with an English/British accent. He was raised in Utah and while I understand that his father was British, Michael was raised in American society and education system as well as the fact his mother was an American too. He does tend to use a British accent to mess with people or directly speak with his father. After being scooped and leaving his message, Michael Afton never uses the British accent again. Elizabeth speaks in a British accent because of her idolization of her own father. Evan Afton took after his brother until his demise in the hospital.
• Elizabeth Afton is actually a psychopathic and a manipulative child. She takes after William more than ever due to favoritism by her father and possible preexisting mental conditions (still debating on it). Even before becoming Circus Baby, she had tendencies to manipulate and lie to get what she want or to pin the blame on her brothers.
• Evan Afton possess the Golden Fredbear plushie rather than Fredbear due to the fact he ended up dying with the plushie in his arms rather than in Fredbears jaw. Michael found out after witnessing the plushie moving around and even calling him a jerk in the middle of the night for killing him. Needless to say, Evan did forgive Michael after realizing that Mike truly regretted what happened and the fact he was trying to do his best to atone with what happened and investigate the deaths around Freddy’s.
• Michael Afton was sixteen or seventeen when he was scooped by his own sister and the animatronics that formed Ennard. This happened in 1987 before the events of FNAF 2. He was either twelve or thirteen when the bite of 83 happened. As a result, Michael Afton never got a chance to graduate from high school, go to college or have a future family due to being scooped and turned into a tall teenaged purple zombie. (This part could change later on the more I flesh out stuff).
• Mike and Charlie were best friends and Mike often considered that they could have been more than friends in the future. However that was ruined when Charlie was murdered by William. After being scooped and trying to investigate his own home once he got back control of his own body, he discovered that William was the one responsible for her death. Mike was beyond pissed and when he encountered William in Fazbear Frights, he made it clear by using a crowbar on Springtraps kneecaps.
• Springtrap’s weakness is its knees. William Afton had sensitive knees before being springlocked into Spring Bonnie and that transferred over due to mixture of flesh and metal blending together. He learned this the hard way when Mike found him at Fazbear Frights and took a crowbar to his dad’s kneecaps on the day he first committed arson. William had managed to drag himself out of the fire but not without more damage to the suit. Even when he became ScrapTrap, his knees are always a weakness.
• Jeremy Fitzgerald is a veteran of Urgent Fury, having served in the 82nd Airborne. He’s not the same age as Michael nor knows him (sorry JereMike fans). He is the bite Victim of 87 and later on the same Jeremy in the VR department of Help Wanted.
• Mike Schmidt is actually a real person along with a fake name Michael Afton used in 1993. Mike Schmidt was the brother of Clara Schmidt who is Michael’s mom. He actually is the only member alive connected to the Afton family along with Michael (despite being a zombie). He is the one who encounters Michael and learned what the hell happened to him when they actually tried to apply around the same time at Freddy’s in 1993. In exchange for letting Michael use his name and getting this job, Mike began investigating Fazbear Entertainment and other places more easily than Michael while Michael was investigating on the inside at night due to his undead nature. Mike continued to help Michael even after the events of the Pizzeria simulator when Micheal Afton finally passed away in the flames. Mike was the one to make sure Michael was buried properly and given a place to rest.
• Gregory is not a robot or the crying child reincarnated. Rather he is the reincarnation Michael Afton given another chance at life (without realizing it) as well as in a position to stop William Afton again along with his followers. Hence why he’s a gremlin and has prior experience with certain tasks or knows stuff others don’t know.
Intro Post!
