## Lore

### Backstory

The son of Bob Velseb, he was very close with his father growing up, occasionally being babysat by Lila, Jaune, and John. Eventually being able to work at Boys N' Grills with his father in high school, he was working late one night, and his father, dressed as the devil, cornered him in the meat freezer. They fought for a while before Bob eventually chopped off his son's arm, after that he left, taking the arm with him. Bob would soon return and get his son medical attention. A while after that incident he quit working there and focused more on school. He meets Streber in a science class and eventually goes on to date him. They are still together after the events of SM5.

After he grows up, he works at Candy Club and Go Nuts for a while, waiting for his paranormal investigation business to take off. During this time, John approaches him and offers him a job as a detective out of desperation. Having known John his whole life, he agrees. He quits his jobs at Go Nuts and Candy Club, trying to put in more hours as a detective.

For the first few years he works on smaller cases, then when the Red Devil cases start appearing again, he looks into it. He worked for days at a time trying to solve these cases before Jack and John caught him. After he learned his father was the devil that took his arm, he began on a downward spiral, leading to many sleepless nights and an unhealthy work life. He developed a fear that he would end up like his father. While his father was in jail, he would often visit him, still caring for his father deeply despite everything. He couldn't bring himself to hate him even if he tried. His father had always taken care of him, went to all his performances, and even taught him valuable life skills that no other parent would teach their kid. During that time, he reconnected with Lila, eventually meeting Skid. He began babysitting when he could, to make things easier for Lila.

When Bob escapes prison, he was out of town for a paranormal investigation. He dropped the investigation as soon as he heard what happened, getting back too late. Streber was hospitalized and his father was dead. He couldn't help but feel some hatred for Jack and John for a while, eventually being able to let it go. He understood that they had to do what was best for the town. While Streber was in the hospital, he visited daily, bringing him flowers, cards, anything that would cheer him up. He would stay the night at the hospital, taking care of his boyfriend, helping him through the pain of losing a limb. Things were strained for a while, and knowing he had his father's smile, he stopped smiling around Streber in order to make him more comfortable. He inherited Bob's house, so he moved back in and began fixing it up and looking into who his father really was.

### Current storyline

In his story line currently, he is investigating the cult for John, not really having any luck with finding anything about them. He is also trying to learn more about his father and his ties to the cult. As he continues his investigation, he begins losing sleep in favor of work. He spends countless nights and days at the police station, looking into every police report he can to find anything.

## Story behind their creation

### FNaf First

Dave started out as a FNaF: Security Breach OC, his original name being Henry. His main function was that he would help Gregory escape the pizzaplex by causing distractions. He was extremely close with Sun and Moon, seeing them as parents almost. He was initially 12, being a joke of how I am always perceived as younger than I am in real life.

There wasn't much of a story for him in this phase except that his mother abandoned him at the pizzaplex and being the great nephew of Henry Emily.

### Peepawverse, the FNaF AU

This was before the time FNaF Ruin released so some things aren't remotely close to being canon. This was also a roleplay done in a discord VC and not a lot of it was written down so majority of it has been lost.

Henry grows up in this, his adoptive family being Gregory and Michael Afton. At the age of 19, he learns he cannot die due to remnant experiments he underwent without his knowledge. A while later he and his brother, Gregory, are kidnapped by a William Afton. In this time he; Dates Jesus from the Bible, kills Michael, meets a lot of different William Aftons, cuts open a build-a-bear and is accused of worshiping the devil, dies a lot of time, dies even more, and dies a final time before being revived and escaping with Gregory. He abandoned Gregory at a Walmart. This storyline was never finished, unfortunately.

### Other FNaF rewrites

Dave Emily - He was the same as the peepawverse rewrite, just with a different name.

Dave Schmidt (Made before Ruin) - Originally rewritten to be apart of a since abandoned Twitter comic, he would've been dating a candy shop worker named Jax, fighting against the Glitchtrap Cult, and ultimately learning Jax was in said cult before killing members he came across. His story was that he was kidnapped by the cult when he was younger and experimented on, as they were trying to find a replacement for William Afton, after the experiments he was deemed unworthy, and an attempt was made on his life. He survived, grew up, and worked for Fazbear entertainment as security.

### Getting Into Spooky Month

When getting into Spooky Month again, I was immersed in the AUs people created on TikTok. One of them being the Starry Eyes AU by Requyem. I joined their server for it and was introduced to the infection au within that server. I dusted off Dave and gave him a new story for that AU.

### The Infection AU (Dave Schmidt's debut)

Dave Schmidt was a man who worked at Go Nuts, he worked hard and loved his job. There wasn't much backstory for him here, unfortunately. That, or I lost it.

### Infection Reboot

Pretty much the same but now his name is Dave Blaire because he got married to the actors of Happy Fella and Sad Guy.

### Twitter Rewrite 1

His name is back to being Dave Schmidt, he now works at Candy Club in addition to Go Nuts. He has a son named George, who he is close with. Before the events of the infection, he is possessed by Moloch and becomes an entity known as The Goat Man. He spends majority of that time terrorizing the town, but especially cult members. In this story, he was dating Rick, Kevin, and Radford, in addition to that, he was in a QPR with Streber. He was not cheating, he is polyamorus.

### Infection Reboot 2

Same as twitter rewrite 1, minus the dating life. He is single here and his son was taken by the cult.

## Alternate Universes

### The False God AU

The False God is a persona created by Dave Velseb to get into contact with the cult. They have two rings around their head, and two rings around their body. Two of the rings have eyes, that allow him to see what they see via built in monitors on the inside of the rings where his eyes would be. His weapon of choice is a chainsaw. In this AU, he never met Streber and his arm was never taken by his father, however he still lost it in an accident during a paranormal investigation. The cult never bailed Bob out of jail, instead they went to Dave. They acted as if they were old friends of Bob, trying to reconnect with him and his family. Dave, not fully believing them but wanting to be nice, accepts their offer to show him proof that they used to know Bob. He is taken to the house on the hill and is exposed to Eyes. This marks the beginning of his downward spiral. During the months leading up the Halloween, the cult begins suggesting that he gets revenge on the town for putting his father behind bars, for leaving him without any guidance.

Halloween night, he finally snaps, doing exactly what they told him to do. He starts by hunting down Lila, breaking into her home and attempting to kill her, She acts in self defense, hitting him with a pan and running off to call the cops before hiding in the attic. He follows her upstairs after recovering, before ditching the place so he wouldn't be caught. Then he begins hunting Skid and Pump, easy targets, right? He follows them around, attacking anyone who got in his way. He spares the candy club workers and the haunted house workers however. Then he finally speaks to the children, offering to play hide and seek with them. They accept, and run off to hide. He follows them, still counting out loud. Jack and John find him before he can hurt either of the kids. His demise is the same as Bob's here.

Bob would later escape jail, vowing to kill everyone in the town for what they did to his son.
