Luanimatronic

"Candy or Smoke?"

Luanimatronic is an animatronic working in Thiccy Cheese, acting as a candy dispenser for children. However, her true function is to dispense cigarettes for the adults in the establishment, to make sure they remain happy at the pizzeria (due to Thiccy Cheese's true goal being to kidnap the parents in order to convert them into animatronics and employees)

## Creation Process

Luanimatronic while not based on any specific Five Nights at Freddy's animatronic, shows some inspiration from Candy Cadet, an animatronic known for dispensing candy. Luanimatronic's dual purpose of a candy and smoke dispenser was also one of the first instances of Thiccy Cheese's negligence being put on display, with an animatronic that stores candy and tobacco so close together.

## Appearance

Luanimatronic shares a very similar appearance to her in-universe inspiration, Lua. Luanimatronic has clothes painted onto her casing, with grey 'sweatpants' and a black 'hoodie' featuring a skull, now adorning mouse ears to fit into Thiccy Cheese's branding.

With white and grey 'fur', Luanimatronic's head has two large 'eye sockets', which are actually black screens that project her digital dark-green pupils. Luanimatronic's tail can not float like Lua's, so they are fastened together by a metal rod.

Luanimatronic's head is covered by a large neon green 'bandana', which is actually a hatch that can be flipped open to access the inside of her head, which acts as a giant ashtray for adults to put out their cigarettes.

This ashtray is located precariously right above the candy hull, which sits behind Luanimatronic's mouth so she can always spit up candy for the children. Located directly next to this hull is a second hull, holding cigarettes which Luanimatronic also spits up for adult patrons.

While not normally shown, on Luanimatronic's back sits a large vent which sucks in the smog exhaled by smoking guests, and filters it into a sweet cotton-candy like scent before releasing it back into the air. This does however lead to Luanimatronic's candy having a bit of a smokey aftertaste.

## Personality

Luanimatronic acts much like her living (or undead) counterpart Lua. She is dismissive of the customers, and often has an attitude while dispensing her products. She out of all the animatronics is usually the one to incite the customer's abuse towards the Luca-inspired animatronics, all for her own amusement. (Especially Plastic Dog)

During the night shift, Luanimatronic is as aggressive to humans as any of the others. She utilizes her built-up smog stored within her to blind the current nightguard, and can fog up the windows to the Office in order to make their job harder. Like all of the other animatronics, Luanimatronic is possessed by one of the adult patrons.

## Lore

### Creation

In the Thiccy Cheese canon, the majority of SkeletonHearts characters do not actually exist as living beings, and are rather a media property in the form of cartoons, comics, and toys. Thiccy Cheese required a cast of recognizable characters in order to ensure their pizzeria's success, so they purchased the rights to the SkeletonHearts franchise and began work integrating these characters into all of their pizzarias.

However, Thiccy Cheese's true goals in opening their pizzarias was to kidnap the adult patrons and offer them as sacrifices for their god, who is only known as The Rat. To achieve this, Thiccy Cheese had to make their restaurants appealing to both children and adults, so the children would beg their parents to go and the parents would beg to stay. Luanimatronic was a later design in Thiccy Cheese's life, but one of the first major succseses in breaking the boundary between satisfying both children and parents.

Luanimatronic was designed to dispense both candy and cigarettes, while also masking the act of smoking as to not sully the restaurant's child-friendly visage. This was achieved with special vents which could transform the smokey-scent of cigarettes into a sweet cotton candy-like vapor. Luanimatronic was an instant victory, causing the rate of parent-retention to rise by at least 70%.

### Daily Routine

On a typical workday Luanimatronic does her duties as programmed, walking around the pizzeria and handing out candy and cigarettes to children and adults respectively. When her ashtray becomes full, she is programmed to dump it into a trashcan, however Luanimatronic typically just dumps it where nobody can see it. Most of the time this is detected and cleaned up by the Thiccy Cleaners, however sometimes these can be in areas where they can not reach.

When Luanimatronic's duties are on pause due to either the restaurants children all being preoccupied with jawbreakers, or the parents lungs finally giving out, Luanimatronic is known to sit near the entrance and stare out into the parking lot. When not preoccupied with that however, she is known for instigating riots against the Luca-centric animatronics such as Plastic Dog or Lucangle, as these animatronics are contentious with many patrons after incidents involving Luca the Lucky Lugnut. She seemingly does this for no reason other than her own entertainment.

### Night Shift

When the lights shut off and the patrons return home (or they don't), Luanimatronic enters night-mode, as do the other animatronics. In Thiccy Cheese, nightguards are constantly being hired and replaced, as they are meant to act purely as sacrifices for the animatronics in-order to keep their souls under Thiccy Cheese's control. So when that night's nightguard arrives, Luanimatronic is quick to get to work.

Her most common tactics are fogging up the Office's windows so the nightguard can not see outside of the office, making the lights attached to the doors essentially worthless. She is also keen on sneaking into the vents so she can begin pumping her smoke directly into the office, trying to force the nightguard out. However this can easily be circumvented by directing generator power towards air ventilation.

On nights where Luanimatronic is particularly aggressive, she will stay in the kitchen and sit on the oven, utilizing all of the tobacco inside her in order to fog up the entire building, making the cameras completely useless.

### Life

The soul possessing Luanimatronic is that of a woman in her late 30's, the mother of two children. Her name was Laruine, and she had a severe smoking problem, and had to utilize an electrolarynx (a small box inserted into the throats of smokers who can no longer speak clearly) in order to speak. By all respects she was a fine mother, while her smoking habits drained her bank account, she always made sure it only affected her own quality of life and never her children's.

During a trip to Thiccy Cheese in order to celebrate one of her children's 10th birthday, she wished them to have fun before disappearing into the smokers-only section of Thiccy Cheese. (Which used to be a fixture in most Thiccy Cheese locations before the introduction of Luanimatronic.) Here, patrons could smoke freely while the children play in the other side of the restaurant, sectioned off by a large red curtain. However, this joyful day would be cut short by a sudden attack by one of the animatronics towards a patron in the smoking section. The attack caused the patron to lose grip of their cigarette, causing it to hit the carpet and start a small fire that swiftly spiraled out of control.

Most of the patrons were able to escape the building, with the exception of Laurine as she became entangled in the large red curtain separating the two sides of the restaurant. Her struggling only caused her to become further entangled, being rolled deeply into the curtain as the flames soon consumed the cloth entirely. Laurine's remains were later retrieved by Thiccy Cheese higher-ups, and used as the soul for the still in-development Luanimatronic.

### Nitro City

In Nitro City, Thiccy Cheese has very slightly different lore, mainly with the origin of the animatronics. In this canon, Thiccy Cheese has a clause in their reservations that makes the user agree that the restaurant is allowed to use their customer's likenesses in anyway they desire, including the creation and monetization of animatronics.

Due to Lua and her family's status in the city as local heros, Thiccy Cheese was quick to jump on this by inviting the group for a free meal at their pizzaria. Soon after, due to their terms of service, animatronics bearing the likeness of Lua and Co. sprung up less than a few days after their visit.

### Purgatory RPG

Luanimatronic makes a brief appearance in Purgatory RPG, being one of the many animatronics that chase Voidrina during her nightshift in the restaurant. Her game over dialogue describes how the last thing Voidrina see's is smog covering up her vision.
