#𝐅𝐀𝐙𝐃𝐑𝐔𝐌 is a mutuals exclusive SIDE — BLOG to #glamserve of an ORIGINAL CHARACTER created for FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S.
This blog features DARK THEMES, including but not limited to: child murder, ghost possession, gore, and psychological manipulation. It may also dive into explorations of identity, dissociation and reality.
𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 : this blog is extremely experimental in the sense that there is minimum info and I am here for no other purpose than to test out a new concept. everything is subject to change. follow at your own risk, one might say.
basic summary & appearance under the cut !
QUEEN MAHARANI, the newest attraction COMING SOON to the halls of the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, is an animatronic based on the largest cat species alive : the TIGER ! Put her behind any set of drums and she will take you on an adventure through the daunting wilderness of her forests !
01 : completely new. no public appearance yet, but plenty of advertising. intended to serve as a form of Special Guest for events and activities, often as the Fazgang’s drummer. inbetween however, she will be deployed as extra security and escort during the day, shaperoning children who are lost or to give parents a break.
the animatronics have not officially been introduced yet*, but befriended staff may have told them about her, or they have found her roaming the halls when the pizzaplex is closed. their first glimpse of Maharani were the advertisements, though they would also likely be aware of a few new tracks requiring drums. ( administrative and engineering staff will have been informed prior to the advertisements. )
* meaning this character encourages First Meetings and similarly early dynamics, but it is not necessary and I am still very much open to characters having spoken to her before, since pre-established stuff is easier ! with time, this section will be updated to feature more interaction hooks. when in doubt, let’s plot !
02 : they / she / it. the latter is for interactions early in her existence.
03 : 8ft. subject to change ( as with everything ).
I’m still in New Blog Jail, but !! I’ve moved Rani to her new blog @fazdrum ! I’ll take a bit of a break & move over drafts / starters, maybe make tags, but I’ve already put up her carrd. will probably still tweak a few things, but !! the basics are there.
trying to figure out some employee chatter / customer complaints to mimic the messages we can find ingame, and I’m thinking one of Maharani’s big “issues” is that they get very territorial towards adults, especially if a child is nearby. exception being registered guardians of the child in question. but as soon as you try to approach someone they currently consider under their watch, they will show signs of aggression.
probably also some complaints about them calling out staff for unprofessional / inappropriate behaviour that heir ears picked up from across the plex. causes a certain level of paranoia, and also concerns about how much they report back to hq.
if I wanted to go completely insane I’d say Maharani is a kind of Special Guest because she’s from another location. maybe from an european branch or something.
correction bcs I’m dumb: east asian brand would probably fit better for a Tiger. and Tokyo seems like a very obvious choice for another Pizzaplex, from what I can gather. though I got no clue what the legalities are regarding an american branch of entertainment in japan. maybe I’m overthinking stuff.
last thought before bed: queen maharani being the equivalent of a character at disneyland. meaning you have to make an effort to find them on their patrol during the day, thus keeping it a vaguely rare encounter and keeping the title of Queen and also Special Guest more relevant. yeah you can leave your kids with them and you will get a special pass that lets you ask for their location at the info counter (with proper identification), but good luck finding them in the first place.
regardless of what I decide on in the end, Maharani can locate people via audio sample, which she can extract from the camera feed. it does get very redundant if she already has camera access to begin with, but if the person is actively speaking or making other distinct noises, it is easier to find them via hearing than camera feed. or when someone is calling for the child she is in the progress of returning.
point is, Maharani’s hearing is incredibly advanced and she does create auditory profiles for specific individuals, down to their footsteps. but this also means no conversation is truly private as long as she is even vaguely within the radius. ( momma rani WILL catch you being naughty in the bathrooms, don’t test her. )
not gonna lie, I do love the concept of Maharani as a security based animatronic. mostly because it’s something different. she can still make special appearances as drummer and all that, but that her primary function is to patrol during the day, and that she is specifically equipped to lead kids back to their parents whenever they insist on following her.
that she’s kind of a moving beacon you can leave your kids at, and that her location is readily available at info desks as long as you have a pass - maybe one she hands you.
I think my biggest struggle with Maharani’s character is to find something unique but unobstructive. her being a drummer comes really just from the artwork’s drumstick, and while I do not hate the idea in itself, it shoves her a bit more into the main cast than I like.
Considering leaning more into the idea that her appearance with the band is genuinely just a case of Special Guest(TM) and that her permanent role is more of a side character during events or confined to a certain venue. Perhaps deals with teenagers / more rowdy kids for the most part.
Alternatively, commit to her being a Special Guest across all appearances, but not something you can book. Rather, the type of event that happens just rarely enough to bring in more money because people don’t want to miss the opportunity. Which would make for an interesting dynamic with the animatronics because in front of the kids it’s played off as Maharani being an old friend whose visiting, but behind the scenes they barely know one another.
Second alternative: specifically made to find lost children, perhaps even watch over them for a moment. (Though this is a much better concept for a canine-based animatronic). A form of security that is active during the day, but is made to blend in with the other animatronics.
Idleness was an odd sensation, one the feline animatronic quickly discovered does not suit her; not for a span of time so great. If they had no intention to debut her yet, why was she roaming these halls already ? It hardly seemed necessary to patrol locations nestled so deeply in her software, it felt as though she had been here before. ( She ignores the discomfort it causes; the disconnect between memory and experience. )
However, she has also discovered that such grievances make themselves scarce when in the company of another. Though ignorant of the deeper meaning, of why her software deems these conditions more amicable, Maharani is none to question them. Thus with nay complaint and near silent movements does great tiger gravitate towards the first presence her ears pick up, falling in step with azure Duchess without warning or preamble — as comes her voice, steadfast and to the point.
❛ The Duchess,❜ more an acknowledgment than greeting, ❛ your specifications are in my database, but there is no assigned venue or schedule. Why ? ❜
STARTER CALL ( ACCEPTING ) / @blazingsouled ( anna )
me going wild thinking about rani learning that their personality is more than just some module that is active exclusively during working hours. slowly realizing that they never were without a personality to begin with, inherently fueled by curiosity. learning the difference between software and self.
the orange and white parts of rani’s body are in fact fur !! fazbear inc. prides itself on how life-like it is, especially the fluffy area of her cheeks, but promises that it is fully synthetic and none of it came from real tigers. the black parts are covered in a soft silicone to protect the LED underneath while still providing a comfortable surface for when maharani comes into contact with children.
strongly debating whether rani’s stripes are part of the paintjob or actually LED plates that can change colors for entertainment but also troubleshooting and relaying quick information without her speaking or a technician hooking them up.
