Nigel - Tumblr Posts
@apertures-incorrect-files I actually had this happen to me in real life, except I was Wheatley and Nigel was two children
This the first time I draw Nigel as a human damn he shops at hot topic
People are saying Lewis is now too old. At 39? No. I won my championship at 39 and I could have gone on, but the politics got involved. But Lewis, if he’s motivated, he’s got several, if not a lot more years left, I think it’s just fantastic.
I think for Lewis, he’ll probably go on and finish his career with Ferrari. It’s like a dream come true for him, I would imagine, because going to Ferrari is everything.
- Nigel Mansell
Do note that some of the information here probably wont be in order. Due to the typing format, I used, I used a base of a character sheet for him… which wasn’t originally in order.
Here is a version of Purple Guy I had made a while back, before I got my Tumblr blog.
He is what I like to call my Vincent Era purple guy, which means, I used the minimal amount of information that was given back before the books came out.
So, he’s not the owner/co-owner, is a security guard of the place, instead, and is not a dad. So, no, he is not related to Mike.
Although he does work with remnant since I realized that without it, some of the things that he is able to do would be impossible otherwise.
His name is Nigel Benedict Mavris, although some people call him Randall, due to something Nigel acting a bit like Randall to Mike. (Yes, I am referring to Randall from Monsters Inc.)
Also, Mike will call him Purple Guy, due to an incident with kid’s finger paint, (purple), children, and a small act of revenge on Mike’s part. You can guess how THAT turned out. The paint couldn’t come out for weeks.
Nigel is ok with the nickname of Randall, he might even have then intentionally used Randall’s actions to inspire his own… silliness, but, “Purple Guy?”
He loathes it. Because after he “gave up” on trying to make Mike laugh, Mike decided to get back at him and, well… its described up above what happened.
He has two pet rabbits. The reason why I chose rabbits for him is to nod to the fact that his animatronic suit is Spring Bonnie.
He isn’t as obsessed about the suit as William is written to be, but that’s not to say that he wont try to save it from a fire or from being stolen or something.
He is a straight man, but it is sometimes questioned since the way that he acts around Scott could be considered slightly gay. (Kind of like how Rebornica’s version of Vincent acts around that version of Scott.)
Not married, but kind of has a man crush on Scott as well as the Main character in the story/AU he is in.
Nicknames that he gives others?
With Scott: Scottie…
With MC: Punkin, Kitty, Kitten, Fluffy, Sweetheart, Pup, Precious, Birdie, Bunny, [Little Bunny foo foo?] ect, (basically a lot of female pet names)
I don’t know his specific height, but I know that he is a tall boi.
He is mostly skinny, but with a noticeable paunch around the stomach area. Don’t know if I drew it right in the drawing… might look too… hefty… lets just say that the weight is just around his stomach area and not his chest or other places.
He has a scar from a previous attempt/successful attempt at kidnapping a child. The scar is from when a female child scratched his face to cause a permanent scar.
He claims its from either a shaving accident, an accident at a hairdresser’s where they accidentally dropped the razor or something.
He might have a glass eye due to this, but only he knows about it in the beginning part of the story.
I don’t know who voices him at the moment, but I can tell you that his voice would sound trustworthy, but you wouldn’t be surprised if the voice also belonged to a villain as well. That kind of voice, but I don’t know any specifics.
He is easily startled, even when he isn’t doing anything that he needs to hide. Another thing that he is scared about is when he is alone in a dark room and doesn’t know where he is.
Some people have theories that Nigel sometimes gets money from criminal activity, but no obvious or physical proof has shown itself.
He does smoke, but not daily. Actually, he only does it to intimidate victims, as he sees it as a stereotypical thing to do for a villain. Never does it any other times.
His afternoon/workday would include, other than Security Guard stuff: Mess with Mike, and Flirt with MC and Scott.
One of his skills/talents is that he has a snakelike jaw. The original, non-remnant fueled ability, was gained due to a severe injury that he had gotten during childhood. He had fallen off of the front porch and as he was screaming, he managed to get a large rock stuck in his mouth, due to landing on it. During surgery, the doctors had to remove the bone that keeps the jaw from opening too wide.
The MAGIC weirdness added to it? He still experiments on remnant, so the remnant added to that ability, and now is kind of close to the ghost things in movies. Not to the point that its down to the floor, but he can fit someone’s entire head in his mouth… he cannot swallow them, as it only effects his jaw, but it’s still weird. (Due to his soother being holding something in his mouth…. I think you get the point…)
Of course, he doesn’t show this talent off a lot, in fact, none of the people who have found out about this ability has lived to tell the tale. (Other than the MC)
He also has a double-jointed neck. Everyone knows about this ability.
He likes to think he has a good relationship with anyone other than Mike, but in reality, they don’t really like him. They just try to put up with him until they cannot.
Considers Scott and MC as his closest friends. Both slightly in different ways though. I don’t think those feelings are returned.
In reality, most of his “friends”, are what he perceives of them, not what they perceive him as.
Most of his friends or enemies are fellow employees, his employers, or kid’s parents. And most of the employees and employers see him in a similar light. Very awkward, slightly annoying, definitely would dangerous around the kids, but somehow, for some reason, doesn’t act as weird, annoying, or dangerous around the kids when he has the opportunity. Or so they think.
MC thinks that he is kinda scary, due to her being more of an introvert with very specific close friends. But then again, she thinks a lot of other people are scary, but for different reasons.
Some children would think he is really cool with all of his weird quirkiness and double-jointed neck. Some people would see him as kind of scary for the same reasons though.
The boss notices how annoying and sort of clingy Nigel is to Scott and MC, but since he doesn’t have a replacement for him, and/or him being a cheapskate due to the ratings of the restaurant (and many people don’t want to work there for such a low price), he tells himself that because Nigel hasn’t done anything specifically illegal yet, (that he knows about), he doesn’t need to be fired.
Considers Rodger to be more of a friend to him than Sheldon. I think so anyway, parts of me wants to have Sheldon kind of confusing to Nigel because of his Geekiness. (Yes, I haven’t planned out every relationship with each character).
Nigel thinks MC is playing hard to get.
Nigel holds grudges.
He is confident and doesn’t seem to care about what people think of him, which can be both good and bad.
He has bouts of narcissism, well, proud enough that it would be considered narcissism and not common pride.
Although if he is alone in the dark or a dark and unknown place, he might have a phobia of it, he will also use a dark room to lure a kid or MC back there.
He mostly prioritizes: Messing with Mike in a negative way, messing with Scott and MC, not losing his job, to keep MC as his own.
Does he believe in fate or destiny? Well, I know he believes in ghosts. And I can see/hear him using fate and destiny in sentences, especially towards MC.
One of his good characteristics is: well, if he were more open about his snakelike jaw, he could easily scare off criminals, if he weren’t one himself.
One of his proudest accomplishments is not being found out or caught.
What usually causes the problems in his life? The ghosts of you know who, MC, Mike, and Scott.
If flirty and alone with the other, his flirty style can be compared to Rebornica’s version.
He is known to reenact ASMRs to make Scott, Mike, or MC feel uncomfortable. How physical these ASMR reenactments would depend on who he is messing with and if they are alone.
Is known to sneak up on MC and hook his snakelike jaw around her head to mess with her if they are alone in the same room together.
He likes to think he is mostly a carnivore, but he also likes fruit snacks. Not sure why fruit snacks is a prominent thing in his character design, but its something.
Drink? Carbonated things.
He hates the color purple, contrary to popular belief. Why? Well, Mike decided to get back at him for all of the things that Nigel had done to him. So, when Nigel was taking a nap, he told all the kids to get purple face paint/finger paint, and paint him purple! Nigel is usually a deep sleeper, while sleeping at Freddy’s, so he only woke up when they had finished. They all laughed at him, and the paint was so bad it stayed there for a few weeks, even with showers every morning.
He is willing to be openly weird, which could be considered a bit of strength in its own way, I guess. But it could also be a problematic thing too.
He is very dramatic when pretending to be sad.
One of his greatest fears is being found out to be the killer.
Most of the time he is considered to be a daredevil, but he knows when he needs to be cautious most of the time.
He is extremely skilled at being creepy, disturbing, and yet somehow keeping the police off of his butt.
Although if you startle him, he will act nervous, fidgety, or shy for a while, even if he wasn’t doing anything that he was trying to hide in the first place.
He can carry MC, and can drag any of his coworkers around, but Scott with the most difficulty.
His hygiene is usually ok, but he has perpetual morning breath, unless he has a lot of breath mints or spray. It has nothing to do with his teeth.
First impression: Kind of mischievous and annoying, and with an underlying feel of something wrong.
Things about his or her appearance he or she would most like to change: Probably not a fan of the scar as sometimes people ask about it and he always has to lie about it. Not that he has problems with lying, its just he might be worried about them finding an inconsistency and insist on him telling them the truth or something… or he simply just doesn’t want to talk or think about it.
Other notes
He’s very likely to play music during a scene with a tied-up hostage or captive
I can see him slow dancing with a tied-up victim, especially if the person is just simply tied up and not to a chair
Look at this awesome artwork of my Purple Guy Nigel, done by Durpachu!
