Scott Copsey

## Info

**Scott P. Copsey** is one of the main two employees and the general manager of Fredbear's Family Diner. He was the first Employee hired at this location at its launch in 1976, his fellow coworker Mat Márquez following shortly after. He is in charge of handling the sides of the business William Afton is either too lazy or too inept to do, which is basically anything that doesn’t involve repairing animatronics or scaring away customers. He used to have plenty of help from Henry Emily, but after the disappearance of Charlotte Emily in 1978 Henry became as detached from the business as William. Scott was left to bear the burden of running someone else’s business almost by himself for little over minimum wage.

## Personality

Scott is a pragmatic person and suppresses any overly outward emotions, making him a hard read and a mystery to most people around him. He lacks real empathy for those he’s not attached to, if you’re in a problem or situation which he cannot see benefit in helping you out of, you’re on your own. The only person in his life he shows an ounce of decent respect or care for is Mat, although he would never admit it.

Scott would like you to believe he is self-sufficient, needing no one else but himself to hold his life together. The truth is he is over burdened and confused about what direction to move forward. Wanting to be free of Fredbear's Family Diner but with no real experience outside the restaurant to understand how to move on in life. Scott stays with the company out of anxiety and fear of failure somewhere else. Although he is fiercely intelligent.

## Backstory

Scott is an only child, growing up in Boston Massachusetts with his father. His father always said he dearly loved Scott, but was rather absent in his everyday life, spending most of his days working then indulging in a severe gambling addiction. As a child he was the polar opposite of his adult self, optimistic, extroverted and kind. Keeping an eye out for new people to talk to or offer a helping hand. He was a natural leader, and everyone gravitated towards him.

At the age of 17 (1974) just after graduation, Scott moved to Salt Lake City Utah to attend law school. He spent the first year excelling, well rounded with a good school work balance, amazing grades and just enough money to keep happy. One day Scott’s father called him up, he had run himself into the ground with gambling and had no money left to support himself. He begged Scott for help, Scott unsure of how to deal with the situation but having an overwhelming love for his father, obliged. Giving him a decent sum of money for the month to keep himself on his feet. This greatly punched a hole into Scott’s life, as he was barely keeping himself stable before and now had to debate sacrificing some of his studies to work more hours. This trend later continued, Scott had a horrible issue with saying no to people. Trying to help everyone but overshadowing his own needs. He grew closer to toxic relationships, friend groups filled with people who kept him around because they knew he would do whatever they needed from him. Finally in late 1976 at the age of 19 Scott’s life fell apart. He was laid off from his job, with no funds left to stay afloat. Not wanting to be forced into dropping out he turned to those closest to him, just for an ounce of support that he had shown them. Just like that, it seemed everyone no longer existed. People who constantly talked to him on the daily disappeared. Distraught and out of options Scott dropped out of law school, now stuck in Utah he found himself at his lowest point. Desperate for work Scott came across a newly opening pizzeria by the name of Fredbear's Family Diner in a newspaper ad, the small family business was finding no other luck with employee’s. Intrigued by the idea of a small town (and cheaper rent), Scott packed up the few belongings he did have and made the drive down to Hurricane. After a day of rest he found his way to the pizzeria and was immediately welcomed for a position by Henry Emily, a simple short talk and a suspicious legal agreement later, he was welcomed to the staff as the new Manager of Fredbears.
