Bunkum's Funitorium was a popular place for children from their toddler years to their teenages to hang out in. Wether you came for the arcades, playhouses, fast food cafeterias, or the animatronics, there was something for everyone! Expect for the tired adults but this isn't about them. So basically over time there were complaints about the animatronics. Not anything supernatural, but general complaints about how certain ones scared the smaller audience they were supposed to have, such as the Queen's behavior. Then, lawsuits about the quality of the food and roaches found in the ice cream and pizza. Eventually the Funitorium was found to be unsuitable and as such, was shut down. A popular rumour around the older teen demographic is that the animatronics have evil spirits in them, and that a monster kidnaps and eats anyone who enters the place after night. One particularly cold night during June, two tweens decide to take up a bet. Whoever could stay in the scary Funhouse until morning without chickening out would get a favor from the loser. Sam(Sackboy) and Sally(Sackgirl).
Basically the animatronics are most of the LBP3 characters, since I'm going in the route of "LBP1 and LBP2 are not Funhouse characters and rather real people while LBP3, LBPKarting are Funhouse characters" There's Pinky the Queen, who is mainly an animatronic aimed for the young girl demographic, meant to be part of a story where she is a character similar to the Queen of Hearts. Then there's Marlon, full movie Elvis Impersonator, sings Birthday Songs. There are multiple variations of him in multiple places in different movie star roles and singing different songs. You get the idea[7:17 AM]Captain and Nana are real people and Captain's been searching for his son ever since he came home to that state.
Newton a lonely person who still stays in the building because he has nowhere to go. He likes to play pretend because it keeps him distracted from his piling issues with himself. He loves his little puppet, since it's the only thing that hasn't called him any bad names or hurt him. he doesn't like it when he's called names and hurt. It reminds him of his mother and his mother is a mean person who should be hurt too. Somtimes he can't help it, and sometimes it's not him at all. All he knows right now is that he has a new friend, a real living friend, and that if they were to ever leave he wouldn't be able to handle it. His backstory is the same, sorta. Got into a prestigous school, showed great promise, flunked first semester, dabbled in forces he shouldn't have, got employed at Bunkum's Funitorium, become his mother's disappointment, become way too attached to the animatronics because he can hear them and they're nice, couldn't handle the place shutting down, and now he kinda lives there! He still takes care of himself surely, but his animatronic friends come first! After all, least important things go last : )
In this post we have Sackboy’s and Newton’s design
