TheBones5

Athan (born: )https://imgur.com/a/w689Gjf, better known online as TheBones5, is an American YouTuber primarily rooted in video game challenges. He specializes in making or playing difficult challenges for a variety of games, such as Cuphead, Dark Souls, and his most popular choice, Five Nights at Freddy's. He also frequently explains the AI of the games he plays in depth during his completions.
==History==
Bones created his channel on September 30th, 2020. He uploaded his first video titled "Can I BEAT Cuphead WITHOUT DYING?",https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_csraczczE on August 11th, 2023. His first couple videos focused on explaining the AI of the first four Five Nights at Freddy's games, then proceeding to complete the max modes of each game. These videos skyrocketed his subscriber count, as 2 weeks after he released his FNAF 4 explanation video, he published a video of him personally thanking all 1000 of his subscribers.
TheBones5's subscriber count skyrocketed on May 2024, as he went from 20000 subscribers to 40000 in 30 days.
On May 18th, 2024, Bones published a video of himself 100%-ing the first three FNAF games all at the same time, beating the main 5 nights, the extra 6th night, and the max mode of each game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMGHk42ud94
On June 7th, 2024, Bones published a video of himself beating the self-imposed challenge he called "The FNAFLocke", where the main goal was to beat all max modes from FNAF 1-6 in a row.
On June 23rd, 2024, Bones published a video of himself completing "Rat & Cat All Challenges", a max mode for the game "Five Nights at Candy's 3 but better" ranked #13 on the max mode main list as of the video's upload. He flunked the night from 3AM.
On August 1st, 2024, Bones published a video of himself beating every boss in Cuphead without taking any damage at any timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUuOtlkUg40. The video served as an homage to his first video where he beat the game without dying, and as an extra touch, the music used for the winning run montage is a remix of the original track he used in his early videos, composed by one of his first subscribers NOCTACRY. The video also serves as a one year anniversary special for his channel.
==Trivia== 
*He got the name "TheBones5" from a dog he had when he was 4 years old, whom he named Bones because he knew "dogs liked bones", and the number of friends in his friend group. 
**Quote from his Discord server: "I got my dog when I was 4 years old, I knew that “dogs liked bones” so I named him bones. I went through a bunch of different Gamertags but when I entered my first smash tournament I wanted something that was unique, and I said “TheBones” and it stuck with everyone. I tried to rename my Insta account to TheBones but it was taken, so I needed to add a number at the end. In middle school (and still currently) I had a really tight knit group of friends and we called ourselves the five (they’re all in this server) so I chose to add 5 at the end of the name"
*At birth, his first name was Athanasius, but after an unspecified amount of time, was legally changed to simply Athan. 
**Quote from his Discord server, after someone guessed his name: "nailed it. good job. its slightly misspelled. its actuall [sic] Athanasius. but close enough. but my name is legally just athan. at birth that was my full name though"
*He owns a motorcycle.
