Bought the diner in the late 2010s, was not aware of its history at the time, as he’s not originally from Hurricane
Agreed to Michael’s deal because he really does love the diner and also maybe he has a vampire kink but shh details
Fellow ‘the Immortal and the Restless’ enjoyer, sucker for a good paranormal romance. Was not expecting to end up in said paranormal romance but he’ll take it
Ends up living with Michael after being evicted from his apartment for lack of rent (Michael is staying at the Afton family home)
Has a business degree
Oz’s unofficial unpaid babysitter, does care for the kid
Can’t actually cook for shit, Lived off cheap energy drinks and pizza before moving in with Michael
Seriously, the only thing this man know how to cook is pizza, god bless him
Jeff forces Michael to get antidepressants and therapy, in retaliation Michael forces Jeff to work out with him. Healing through loving pettiness ❤️🩹
I’m calling it Pit Guard au, takes place post-pizza sim but pre-pizzaplex
Basic premise is Michael offers to help Jeff fix up and run the old pizzeria, and Jeff isn’t about to turn down the funds and guidance. But everything comes with a price.
TW for heavy scaring
Michael design for the au, Jeff coming soon
Design and characterization explanation under cut
Michael survives the pizza sim fire unintentionally, I’m not explaining how in detail so pick your own poison
Inherited Afton robotics, which he turned into a state-of-the-art tech company. he also manages to reacquire Fazbear entertainment, but that’s way later.
Looks like he’s in his early thirties, is actually in his late fifties.
Almost completely healed from the whole ennard thing, but it permanently altered his body. He has dozens of scars from where the endo tore its way out of his skin.
The scar over his left eye is from Foxy’s hook, when he’d been doing maintenance on a breaker boxes and foxy caught him unawares. He practically sprinted back to the office and only finished fixing the breaker after 6am.
The one across his face is from FTfoxy knocking him out on night 3 of sister location. Made the springlock scene on night 4 much more stressful bc he’s actively bleeding and we all know you can’t get springlocks wet.
As per the running joke, the scooper dumped a shit ton of remnant into his emptied out body so he wouldn’t die. Which he technically didn’t but he’s definitely not human anymore.
Eyes glow; hair is completely white; blood is discoloured; skin is very pale and semi translucent; had fangs; and, oh yeah, needs to consume living blood to maintain the insane amount of remnant inside of him (the remnant won’t kill him if he doesn’t drink, but the sheer amount of pain he’d be in isn’t worth not drinking). So yeah, Michael is basically a remnant vampire instead of a remnant zombie now.
You can probably see what the price for his help is. Cue gay hijinks.
Very flirty and mildly unhinged personality, uses humour and flirting to mask his pretty serious depression and ptsd.
Death/remnant related memory issues. He remembers major events (Evan’s death, bite of 87, Lizzy’s death, etc) but everything else before his death is hazy at best. So he doesn’t actually recognize Oswald’s dad/freddy mask bully (who I’m calling Simon) at all. But Simon absolutely recognizes Michael and, oh boy, does it give him a heart attack to drop Oz off at Jeff’s only to run smack into his old friend who he hasn’t seen since 1985.
Speaking of Oswald, he ends up seeing Michael and Jeff as weird uncles. Both are surprisingly good with kids.
Michael can relate to Oz’s situation with pit trap (with pittrap being his actual father and all) and is more than happy to comfort Oz when needed.
Is a little vain and does a lot to maintain his appearance (daily workouts, extensive hair care, 8-step skincare routine, etc), being a literal decaying zombie really fucked him up.
