/nfta but you’ve mentioned an au called towered fools a few times but I couldn’t really find much on it since ofc it’s not started yet lol but plsss I neeed moreeeee
LMAO alright, I'll give you a rundown. It's very subject to change and I haven't done much about it or given it much thought. Nothing is even written down in note form yet!
So, the idea is that the fic takes places in the typical robot dystopian future that a lot of people became afraid of through horror sci-fi films when the idea of "robots are going to take over!" sort of thing.
Before the fic, Fazbear's has been in a dormancy for decades until about the 2040's, where they create the Pizzaplex. Since a lot of people had Fazbear's as a part of their childhoods through their diners, shows, and general attractions, their new Pizzaplex is MASSIVELY POPULAR. So much so that people travel from across the world to visit it in Utah.
Big companies and billionaires see the success of their incredible 'expressive learning AIs' and begin sliding money toward Fazco to create bots for their companies. Some of them are particularly shady companies, or for less than intended purposes.
Fazco sends them catalogues of all of their designs, even dating back to their original Fredbear and Springbonnie designs, and allow their rich buyers to choose a model and alter it to their own designs, as long as they still look similar enough to the OG model that people will recognize it as Fazco.
At the time of the fic, many bots that were made for these companies or rich people have since been misplaced or sold off, often by bankrupt companies.
Moon, for example, was made for a sort of 'freakshow attraction', and is somewhat of an anthro centipede/millipede robot. Since the company fell out of fashion, Moon was sold off to a dictatorship, uh, I mean, royal, fair family of rulers to act as a body guard.
Sun was once a Daycare Attendant for one of the few Pizzaplexes that popped up across the USA. The managers of said Pizzaplex were caught doing shady business, and auctioned everything off as quickly as they could to untracked buyers, landing him in the hands of robot fighters, which is where the reader character currently works.
Eclipse was made to be a doctor, but she had some kind of unidentified virus. Upon being informed of this, Fazco immediately blocked all contact with the buyers, and registered her as a stolen animatronic that may or may not have been tampered with. She was then left in a dump and salvaged by some not so friendly faces. Thankfully for her, she fit right in.
As for the reader, they're currently a fugitive. The royal family of the fic have a certain way of taking care of people that stand against them, though it is incredibly secretive. The reader was a part of the same 'royal executioners' group that Eclipse was, and the two of them were extremely close. Niave as they were, the reader thought of themselves as an assassin with honor, with a heart of gold. Reality isn't as simple as that, and left in the dead of night and are currently incredibly wanted by the state. And Eclipse, furious at the second abandonment of her life, is incredibly keen to hunt them down and execute them.
The reader works at a robot fighting ring in an underground city filled with outlaws, and gets on really well with their coworkers. They are particularly uneasy about robots, especially the case-less one with the same rays as Eclipse... For about a decade, they've been slowly but surely saving up money to finally get those fake papers and leave. They haven't put their previous job entirely behind them, finding themselves doing vigilante work, but also have used their skills to evade law enforcement and the Executioners incredibly well.
However, as they begin sneaking packets of crayons into the scribble-filled cage of the Sun Bot, a new blip pops up on the Fazco network system, connecting all of their bots together. Sun has made a friend, which has sent a signal out to exactly the wrong bot, who now knows exactly where they are.
It's gonna be fun, and I really hope I can create it one day! The whole fic is sort of this paranoid worry of 'I'm being watched' while they try to rescue their new friend. They get so comfortable with the fact Eclipse hasn't found them yet that their savings start going toward paying their boss for the Sun Bot to try and get him out of the fight ring.
Other than that, I don't have much of a plot ready since, like I said, I don't have any notes written on my app yet. But I think it would revolve around the reader trying to escape the state, a bot unwillingly falling for them and going against his entire job, and [yet another] rather vengeful Eclipse and her trusty executioner's axe.
