Why hello there, Old Sport!

Allies: Breadbear, Funtime Freddy

Enemies: Mustache Girl, Lemon, Ari, Kids

## Description

Dave Miller is a character directly taken from Day Shift at Freddy's version of William Afton/Purple Guy and follows most of that characters anatomy. Dave gets his purple appearance from being a living corpse with his soul possessing and holding on to his body. Otherwise he is the size of other humanoid beings. He is different from his regular counterpart in a few key ways but generally remains the same overall.

## Personality

The majority of Dave's personality traits come from his character in  Day Shift at Freddy's some being toned down for the safety of other characters. Dave can be obsessive, violent and betrays people easily; He is for the most part a social outcast who has difficulty making healthy relationships with anyone. Dave does not value many people's lives outside of himself and the people he likes, showing a general disregard for safety for anyone outside that circle. However, he shows care for the few he considers close to him, even if these feelings aren't reciprocated. Dave has been heavily influenced and corrupted by Henry Miller through careful manipulation into doing his dirty work, a very important example of this is the killing of children for remnant and souls which he at one point justified as being "The right thing to do" for what he considers to be a greater good, that being aiding Henry in gaining access to #recycling-bin. Eventually fate caught up to him and Dave was caught in a springlock failure. His soul refused to die and he repossessed his body over and over again to stay alive. Henry, intrigued by Dave's determination, rescued him but not without severe damage to his body and brain, causing him to turn purple. After the damage Dave suffered to his mind he lost view of his morals and began viewing his killings as entertainment and a form of humor.

## Abilities

Dave, as a living corpse is immune to being harmed in ways regular entities would. He can lose vital organs, get decapitated or poisoned without being killed. The only way Dave can truly die is through being incinerated, most likely by fire. Dave is also extremely intelligent when it comes to tech, creating Funtime Freddy and the rest of the funtime animatronics during his time in #basement. He also has access to military grade technology crafted by himself such as his Aubergine Mech. Dave is weak in hand to hand combat and easily overpowered by most beings that can fight back, an exception being most robots and some cyborgs where Dave can find exploits and destroy them.

## Story

Pre Dimentio Implosion:

The first appearance of Dave in the storyline is in #pizzeria (later changed to egg-pizza) where Funtime Freddy freaked out and killed a child in front of the other animatronics in the hopes of obtaining more remnant, Dave was filled with glee over the fact, though he did not play a big part in the rest of the interaction.

Dave was later unused for a long period of time (possibly in the #recycling-bin) he was later brought back and made a quick acquaintance with Yuri and followed her into the #literature-club unseen. After arriving Mustache Girl spotted him and tried to convince Yuri and the other club members to stop him, they did not comply. After being punched in the face by Mustache Girl, Glitchrap calls Funtime Foxy which scares her away. Dave learns Yuri's name and he insists on traveling with her. Eventually ending up in #the-top where he and Yuri continued to converse until both of their eventual disappearance and reappearance near the climax of the Dimentio Imploding Arc.

Dimentio Implosion:

Dave made only a short appearance in the Dimentio Implosion Arc, in Dimentio’s throne room. He was there to witness Yuri’s suicide and fled the scene before the climax. Eventually Yuri was resurrected but Dave did not really care for her anymore, although he did not dislike her he had not seen Yuri as a friend anymore as her death felt like a betrayal to him.

The Flipside:

During The Flipside Arc, Dave receives a call from Henry, who he enthusiastically speaks to as Henry tries to keep this conversation private. Henry explains that he needs to tell Dave something in #breadbears-family-diner which he agrees to. When he arrives Henry explains what Dave needs to do, being find and capture three children alive. After a scuffle with a group currently in Main Streets, Dave retreats into his current home, #underground-hideout. Funtime Freddy then breaks into the hideout, while initially being irritated Dave saw this as an opportunity to cause some mayhem in the Main Streets while simultaneously completing his goal, so he tricks Funtime Freddy into believing there is a birthday party there. After following him to Main Street he unleashes Freddy into the group who begins trying to capture anyone small enough to fit in his chest. Funtime Freddy was eventually neutralized and Dave after losing a struggle gets sent flying before shortly chasing after the escaping group's car in his Mech which he proceeds to attack with lasers, missiles and Funtime Freddy. Dave eventually stopped the car and held it high in the air threatening to kill everybody if they didn’t agree to his conditions, that being the three children for his project with Henry. [REDACTED] offered to retrieve them in three days time but Dave did not believe her he kidnapped [REDACTED] and let the group know that Funtime Freddy would be able to know where to find him and if three days went by without his conditions he would kill [REDACTED]. Dave returns to #breadbears-family-diner with [REDACTED] without considering the group tracking him to Breadbear’s immediately. Henry, while annoyed, began getting information out of [REDACTED] while Dave sat around and twiddled his thumbs waiting for the party to arrive.

They eventually did and completed their part of the deal which surprised Dave who invited [REDACTED] inside, Breadbear and Farfour were sent out to attack [REDACTED] while the kids were taken to the backroom and promptly killed. Henry and Dave were meant to escape into The Bin but Henry betrayed him last second and left him with the group in the diner.

As what follows this scene is no longer considered canon it will not be included.

Post The Flipside:

Dave wandered aimlessly after Henry’s betrayal getting into small encounters with characters but nothing significant until the next arc he was involved with began, that being Jinsie’s Circus.

Dave arrived in #the-circus after hearing the music presumably from the #forest Dave walked inside, curious and excited, wanting to relive his experiences at Henry’s Circus ideally. But as it turned out it bored him deeply, it was a mockery of what he saw as real circus acts, what Henry accomplished on stage. Booing the act, he left partway in an agitated mood but was stopped by the chaos that soon ensued, he was now intrigued. As souls were being captured and the circus disappearing, Dave willingly ran in and got himself trapped with Lemon, Marx, Chair, and Juniper, all of which he does not care for. As he had no better option he continues to go along with the group participating little to none in coming conflicts, opting to ignore most threats and let other people do the work for him.

Eventually the group faced Mirrarthur, who summoned the soul of Mustache Girl. Immediately annoyed by her presence Dave tried to lay low but after a small fight she found him. Unfortunately for Dave, seeing him was exactly what Mustache Girl needed to break out of her trance, who then proceeds to attempt to choke Dave out. Dave has enough and bites her hand to escape and curses everyone out and swears he’ll be back. He then escapes into the circus, leaving everyone to deal with Mirrarthur themselves.

He reappears with Jinsie after the party fights their way to her bedroom. It isn’t deliberately explained how Dave found her but they became quick friends nonetheless. Both Jinsie and Dave attack the party with Dave shortly afterwards calling Breadbear in as well. He mostly commands Breadbear to attack the group. This continues until the core opens, immediately taking over Jinsie, and it tells Dave to obey it further. He refuses to, which angers it prompting it to attack Dave and the rest of the group who have to fight together to survive. Dave has an old trick up his sleeve and calls in the Aubergine Mech to attack the core after a bit of hesitation on his part. Jinsie and the core are eventually destroyed leaving everyone in the soon to be #burnt-forest. After the party regrouped and the surrounding trees were set ablaze by Lemon, Dave escaped into the forest.

Depths of The Bin:

Dave laid low after the events in #the-circus, not actively getting involved in anything serious. He just so happened to be in the area (to rob or shoot up Reginalds Castle) when he began making offers to the characters present, he decided to drop the idea for now and walked over to ask questions. Anything he wanted huh? Dave liked this a lot. Maybe be could finally get revenge on those who have wronged him, maybe he could be reunited with Henry after who knows how long. No, even better, he could get Henry to truly like him again, to be the father he never had, to truly become Dave Miller. Dave was lost in thought, but he knew he had to do this, and just for one fuckin guys life? That sounded super easy to him.

He followed the group into #psuedo-bin, hating most of them. He immediately takes a disliking to Goner Kid and ignores their speech. Dave makes the assumption that Henry has to be in this location, despite never seeing the bin, he’s overwhelmed with excitement with the prospect of him being there.

During the SOMETHING fight he ignored the active threat and started beating up Ari instead.

Dave recognized Henry from afar and fully believed he was going to accept him with open arms but he was trapped along with the rest of the group. Henry began taunting him and the party. But Dave could only think about rejoining Henry, he got this far hadn’t he? Why doesn’t Henry like him anymore they’re still a family right? And to a degree Henry did not fully disrespect Dave, he recognized his work for him and offered to show him the fruits of their labor. But this idea was quickly dropped and Henry dropped the group into #deeper-bin with Dave calling out for Henry as he fell.

Dave was in disbelief. He did not believe that it was Henry who had just betrayed him, it had to be someone different. He told the group (who didn’t care) that he was gonna show them the real Henry after everything was over. Lemon started arguing this idea which pissed of Dave who begins to mock them and insult them until they both start fighting each other. But he quickly realized there’s no point in fighting and stopped.

After wandering for a bit “Missing User” or “:(“ appeared, who immediately started asking the group questions, Dave was focused on Henry and payed very little attention to Missing User when they spoke of their reality and opted to mess with Marx instead, who also really didn’t care.

After the fight and Henry’s release Dave enthusiastically enters into the soon to be darkened arena and looked around, seeing Henry proudly admiring his finished machine. Henry senses his presence and turns around, glaring. “Why hello there, Henry! It’s me, I came back, like always…” says Dave “Like… always” says Henry, clenching his fist “Just get over here, William” Henry motions to Dave to walk over to him. “Now listen VERY carefully, Willy. Protect this machine with your LIFE”. They are quickly interrupted by an advancing party and Henry shoves Dave away quickly to address the group.

Dave rubs his arm but turns his attention to his enemies, notably Lemon someone he knows is aggressive. Once Henry signals him to through the machine starting up he begins attacking, punching the group and trying to distract them from the Machine. He aids in killing [REDACTED] but that’s just a given. He doesn’t manage to protect Henry’s machine and accidentally tumbled into it, which made it irreparable.

Henry glared at him once more, and commanded him to enter the farthest room he constructed in #deeper-bin, he obliged but was concerned enough for Henry to make him tear up. Henry didn’t care and lied about being okay to expedite the process which worked.

When the group entered the room Dave assumed the worst, which at this point was true, Henry was dead. But he knew he had a job to do, Henry had given him a gift, one last mission right? And in the springlock suit he first gave to him nonetheless. Dave knew he could take out these stupid clowns now (and one especially stupid actual clown). Now, all he had to do is- wait what? No no this couldn’t have happened could it? His suit was failing… but that’s impossible! Dave has been in these things thousands of times he knew them inside and out, literally! He fell to his knees with the springlocks impaling every bit of his body which was seizing in pain. Someone HAD to have tampered with it! There is no other reason for this. Henry? No it couldn’t have been Henry right? Dave refused to believe or even consider this idea. They were family, Dave LOVED him… but who else? Dave screams out in pain and betrayal as he curses out his enemies who he blames for what he cannot comprehend. Dave never realized what Henry did or what he had tried to do before, how much he hated him how much he wanted him to suffer. He was a purple colored puppet.

As he heard a hollow laugh above him everything began to go dark.
