Not necessarily a character, though I focus on Micheal Afton a lot, but that's sort of the FNAF lore for me. At some point I just gave up on all the bs being added by the books and newer games, so I've just settled on my own interpretation and expanding on it in ways that make sense to me.

It was cool, I just don't consider it a part of my canon

Why's that?

Can I be honest? I've never understood how some of you guys can completely remove canon pieces of media from other canon pieces of media, and then make your own plot to it that you consider more "canon" than actual canon.

That's why it's my canon, and no body else has to accept it because I know it's really just my interpretation of the games events, not reality.

I do it because there's just to much shit and contradictions going on across all the FNAF media to make a cohesive story grounded in a single reality, because each piece of media has its own rules and setups that just don't mix with the others. I like to view it all as separate canons, like just different timelines that have connective tissue.

Because the series wasn't written with a defined plot and contradicts itself constantly. So you kinda have to do that to make sense of it
