With the Superstar Daycare's reviews being less than stellar and the wing of the Mega Pizzaplex struggling to get the returns the company was hoping for, Fazbear Entertainment tries a new plan: Bring in a human Daycare Attendant/Security Guard to work alongside Sun and Moon, acting as an animatronic handler to keep them in line.

Desmond Ivers originally worked for a trampoline park that was driven out of business thanks to the Pizzaplex and had been avoiding applying at the place out of sheer spite. However, after growing tired of being night security for an office building and having a sporadic (and often unfulfilling) gig as a kid's birthday party entertainer, Desmond makes the choice to suck it up and apply for the position in the daycare. Shenanigans ensue from there.

## Appearance

### General:

Desmond is a slim man standing at 6'2" with a body that is built of lean, toned muscle. His skin is pale in color and covered in a plentiful amount of darker toned freckles. His rusty ginger hair is always a mess of curls that never wants to behave, no matter how much Desmond tries to comb through it. His eyes are a rich forest green in color.

### Work:

When at work in the Mega Pizzaplex, Desmond can be spotted wearing his uniform - which is unique for his position. His uniform is a jester costume, comprised predominantly of an alternating pattern of two types of cloth: One with pale golden yellow and orange stripes; the other a dark blue covered in white stars which are UV-reactive and glow green in the dark. His jester cap 'n bells is comprised of three 'tails', with one made of each fabric type and the center a solid dark grey cloth - the same cloth that makes up the bands of his hat, pants and his fingerless gloves. He sports a ivory colored ruffled collar around his neck, a slight nod Sun and Moon's own ruffled neckwear. A Fazwatch is tucked out of sight under his left wrist.

In addition to the costume, Desmond also wears a security officer badge on his right upper chest and sports a standard workbelt. On said belt is a handheld radio (or walkie-talkie), a security access badge, a ring of keys, a flashlight and a taser that is capable of taking down humans or - more importantly - animatronics in the event of an emergency.

### Outside of the Pizzaplex:

When off the clock, Desmond dresses completely different compared to his vibrant and eye-catching costume. His everyday wear typically consists of dull, dark colors and are usually comprised of clothing that is comfortable and functional. Hoodies, plain t-shirts or long sleeved shirts, jeans and standard black sneakers are his usual go-tos. His style is all about blending in and garnering attention - and usually are things he can slap on in a few minutes if he needs to do errands or otherwise *have* to venture into public.

## Personality

Desmond is a very introverted man around most people, finding attention ends up bringing about stress or embarrassment. While he's polite and friendly, he struggles to make friends or connect with other adults out of fear of judgment or that there's ulterior motives. This feeling is exacerbated at work when he comes into conflict with another security guard called Matt, which results in a high level of anxiety and using avoidant methods to completely keep away from other coworkers. The obvious exception to this is Sun and Moon, who he has a consistently pleasant relationship with.

The time that he comes out of his shell most is around kids, where he delights in entertaining them or making their days better. His patience and observation skills often are put on display when he employs his gentle methods of talking with kids, helping them understand the world around them, their feelings and how to communicate those feelings to others. He uses those methods with Sun and Moon as well, which has helped them improve personally and professionally.

While Desmond can handle conflict in the form of angry parents or coworkers, it does stress him out more than it might a typical person. He's struggled with handling conflict or confrontation since the last time he saw his family - a big disaster of him being outed as homosexual, screamed at by his parents (particularly his father) and disowned. The event has caused him to struggle with his views of his sexuality as well and has pushed him far into the closet.
