## 1973

XANNI-CORP is founded by David and Teal Artel. No reason has been given for its name.

David had an interest in robotics and engineering and wanted to utilize his interest for entertainment purposes. Teal had different plans, but decided to join his brother in that venture.

Their first locations were small cafés with one basic animatronic. The number of locations reached a small number of states within the United States of America.

The characters were designed by Teal while David was in charge of making those designs a reality. Teal's concepts desired the characters to look more realistic, which conflicted with David. David's main concern with construction is to design the animatronics to be easily repaired, maintained, upgraded, or changed. This was a debate that the two brothers constantly had.

Despite the small gimmick, the locations became very popular and grew a lot of income. Over time, with growing interest and income, the Artel brother's plans turned big and pretty ambitious.

## 1990

Construction on the new amusement park, Tealerland, finished construction. The animatronic entertainers at the location were advanced; each character had modular endoskeleton parts. David spent many nights awake, trying to perfect the animatronics before opening day arrived. The materials used for the animatronics were pretty fragile and would have to be replaced, which did not happen.

"*Tealer is the titular character of the Tealerland park. His character is depicted as a gray dragon with a jester outfit. Him, along with the others, were constructed by David Artel.*"
Opening day and the days thereafter proved successful for the Artel brother. XANNI-CORP was looking at Tealerland to be its most successful venture yet. Despite that, Teal Artel was not happy due to his want of the animatronics looking more realistic.

Almost a year passed and Tealerland dipped, both in interest and revenue. XANNI-CORP couldn't afford to create new location with the revenue they currently had and so employees had to be laid off and maintenance to the animatronics was a passing glance at best.

Teal blamed the animatronic's designs; they looked too creepy and unnerving to customers, which became noticeable after almost a year of melting and sagging to their faces especially. David didn't know nor cared for the reason behind the low interest.

Without David to keep maintenance, Teal disassembled the animatronics himself to better understand the underlying mechanic that he could use to design animatronics himself. Something happened, and Teal accidentally damaged both of the animatronics after reassembly.

The next few days were especially troublesome as the animatronics were now starting to lock up and break, causing headaches among the number of employees. David knew of the new problems that the animatronics were facing and investigated who would have tampered with them.

Heading down into the park's underground facility, he did not expect to find the corpse of an employee. He was cut badly within the center of his chest and died pretty swiftly judging by nobody hearing any screams or calls for help. David, not wanting his death to come to light, hid the body inside the Tealer animatronic and sealed away the facility.

Tealerland was closed for a few months to discuss what to do next.

## 1991

Teal and David Artel eventually came to an agreement to close XANNI-CORP, along with the Tealerland park. David never told Teal why the park closed and the low revenue provided enough of a reason to move on from the company.

XANNI-CORP was bought by an unknown buyer thereafter, but the Tealerland park remained unopened and untouched for the next decade.

David believed Teal would also move on, but he secretly entered the park to look into why David had closed the underground facility. There, he discovered the old corpse of an employee inside Tealer's chest.

Gathering the scraps necessary and the blueprints that were left behind, Teal designed his own modules to take control of his brother's creations via radio signals. He would not allow David to cover up this murder and would kill him as revenge.

## 2000

David gets woken up by a phone call from Teal. "Come and find me... David."

Arriving, David heads down into the abandoned Tealerland and its underground facility, ready to be ambushed by the new versions of his own creations. Before that, he brings along an old Tealer mask in hopes it would fool the animatronics. It didn't.

Using the spare parts found across the rooms, David managed to create a luring device called T-Lure that will help lure the murderous animatronics into containment. This lasted the entire night, the animatronics always breaking containment after each hour and getting more aggressive.

After some hours of the animatronics not being successful, Teal combined all of the animatronics together into Deterrent to deter David from staying underground. Along the way, T-Lure is destroyed via an axe to the head, either from Teal himself or Deterrent. David managed to cripple Deterrent, giving him enough of an opportunity to destroy Deterrent and come up from the underground.

His suffering mind arriving back to the park, there he confronts Teal Artel, his brother.

"He would ultimately be the one responsible for the death of Teal Artel. After the final events that happened within the park. David was caught and arrested. He now silently suffers within the confined of his prison cell indefinitely.*"*

pretty open and shut timeline, huh? you love to see it.also the fact you're reading this meant you ignored what was just said above. jesus, dude. pretty evil
