Why not, right? Everyone's got a Five Nights at Freddy's-inspired idea nowadays. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I'll preface this by saying that the plots I have in mind are very, very loose. I'm looking for someone to brainstorm lore with me, so we can take what we like from the animatronic horror genre and roll it all together into something even cooler. Most of this is because the setting's theme and other characters will heavily rely on what character my partner is playing: The head animatronic mascot! The face of the franchise and likely its namesake too. (Of course, if you prefer to play a 'regular' animatronic, then that works too!
In short: The main pairing for this is Male/Genderless Animatronic x Male/Female Human, based on my partner's preferences.
Because I'm a filthy FNAF degenerate.
My character will likely be an employee - night staff or perhaps a technician responsible for the animatronics' daily maintenance and repair. They could even be YC's 'caretaker' or 'handler' of sorts, ensuring the animatronic is looked after properly. We could also go for the classic 'night guard' position. It all depends on which direction we take the story.
The gist of what I currently have in mind is…FNAF, but without the kids. Meaning the setting in question isn't a family-friendly restaurant, but instead is an adult-only space. The business might have originally started out as the average 70's-80's playground for a young audience, then eventually went bust and rebranded for a more mature crowd. Rather than get rid of the animatronics, they were brought back as mascots to give a more quirky or nostalgic vibe. Or it's a business started by a very...eccentric team looking to cash in on the animatronic craze.
Quick note: When I say "Adult Only", I'm not automatically referring to heavily perverted settings. Redstar content is a possibility, but that all will be discussed privately. Some settings I have in mind are:
- Adult-only water park
- Spa
- Hospital
- Extreme amusement park
- Horror attraction
- Etc…
I just think it's an interesting change in the current formula. In this story, children aren't being lured away from their parents and stuffed into animatronics. A human serial killer isn't behind the disappearance of several adults - but an animatronic certainly is. At least, that's the theory. YC is blamed for the wave of fear that's caused the business to either consider shutting down, or has forced the place to close. Whether or not YC is responsible, partially responsible, or completely innocent, MC isn't about to run off like the guests and employees. Even if they wanted to, management won't let them…
I'm also totally up for throwing all this out the window and making up something else! Something a little more home-based, perhaps YC is a new guest in MC's home for whatever reason. For real, gimmie your ideas!
YC's build and species is entirely up to you! My only thoughts are:
- Anthros, creatures, or semi-humanoid designs are what I'm hoping for. Realistic human robots are…sorta boring. If you want to take some inspiration from FNAF, Walten Files, or another project then I'm all for it!
- Fully sentient animatronics are far superior to 'haunted' animatronics. The personality is better if it's 100% the animatronic behind it, in my opinion.
- We don't need to stick to the same physical limitations of actual, modern tech. If a fanfic writer doesn't have to, neither do we!
- As said at the top of the post, a male or genderless animatronic would work better with my character - who can also be tailored to what my partner likes to write against.
Before we wrap this up, here's some info about me:
- I am 21+. My partner needs to be the same. I'm dangerously close to thirty, so the older a writing partner is the more comfortable I feel.
- I'm only taking one RP for this, and I reserve the right to refuse a potential partner if I feel we don't gel.
- I greatly enjoy angst/darker themes such as drug use, cursing, and some level of violence/gore. If someone is exceptionally squeamish, then I may not be the best person to write with. That said, please let me know of any concerns and I will adjust!
- As above, this could also include psychological torture, possible self-harm, and emotional trauma. Not a necessity, but it's all on the table. Anything that turns the story into something gritty to mix with hurt/comfort fluff is what I crave!
- Romance not required! Redstar content is entirely optional and so is romance! Found family is just as good.
- I'm pretty flexible when it comes to tame and extreme Redstar content. I have some hard no's, but I can give more details if asked.
- My post length varies, though I average about 2-4 paragraphs. Inspiration can hit me hard, so my posts might be randomly long if the scene's good. Quality over quantity and all that.
- Post times will vary. I'm in the US and work the average office job, so I'll be lurking around throughout the day (Pacific time zone...I think?), but IC posts tend to be saved for really slow days or after work/weekends. A post or two a day is what I strive for if I have the time. If not, at the very least a post a week.
- I fully expect proper grammar. I want to write with someone who loves writing and shows it.
- I'm pretty ghost-friendly. Life happens, things don't last forever. Pop back in whenever you feel like and we'll get something going again!
- Doubling isn't my thing. If a partner isn't into playing a certain character for their own interest, then we just aren't compatible.
- PM is my top preference, but I'm down for anything my partner prefers.
- Writing samples available! I might ask for one in return!
And I think that's it! Thank you for reading c:
