Friedrick "Freddy" Faschbär

Funtime Freddy is a minor antagonist (and later major protagonist) in the *Neopets Time* series, first originating in *Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location (2016).* He's a friendly, gleeful animatronic bear who loves to tell jokes and entertain with his right-hand man, Bon Bon. He always seems to have an endless supply of zany energy, dishing out rapidfire puns, breaking into song with no prompting, and letting out a hearty, frenzied cackle at anything even mildly amusing.

Although he's incredibly sweet and kind-hearted, he has a foul temper and becomes uncontrollably violent when threatened. This is a direct result of his programming, because his creator Purple Guy built him with a "Kill Mode" that turns him into a Murdering Killing-Machine of Death™️. When Kill-Mode is activated, his eyes glow red and he viciously attacks the perpetrator until he is either knocked out or the percieved threat has ceased. Once out of Kill-Mode, he retains no memory of it. This causes Funtime Freddy a lot of despair and anxiety, though he tries to supress it.

## HISTORY

Funtime Freddy was built in the mid-90's by Purple Guy to be a rental animatronic at Circus Baby's Entertainment & Rentals. Unbeknownst to everyone, Funtime Freddy wasn't just a performer—he was a killing machine, intended to capture unsuspecting victims and stealing their life force to revive deceased employees of Fazbear Entertainment and NEOCORP. Funtime Freddy initially did not know this himself, as he does not retain memories of his murders. In fact, he believed Purple Guy was a saint for delivering joy to children and bringing dead people to life, not realizing he was just zombifying them to continue working for the company.

Soon, however, Funtime Freddy is confronted with Purple Guy's crimes. Funtime Freddy finds his own animatronic blueprint and discovers that he was equipped with an ability called "KILL Mode," and that all of the employees Purple Guy "revived" are all lifeless zombies running from the souls of the dead people Funtime Freddy inadvertently slaughtered.

Funtime Freddy thus fell into a deep depression, believing that no matter how hard he tries to be good, he will always be nothing more than a murderer. **[TBA]**

By the end of Season 1, he and Bon Bon join the protagonists in the battle for justice and freedom against systemic oppression.

## PERSONALITY

Funtime Freddy is extremely excitable, loud, and exhibits some manic tendencies. He is extremely friendly and affectionate towards his friends and sometimes complete strangers. He can come across as overbearing and childish to some, but he is also selfless and compassionate. He is extremely protective of his friends (especially Bon Bon) to the point where he will physically fight anyone who wrongs them. By the end of Season 1, he is aware of his violent programming and feels ashamed of it even after he joins the rebellion against NEOCORP. He often avoids conflict to avoid activating Kill Mode, which unfortunately interferes with his role in the rebellion. **[TBA]**

## TRIVIA

* Funtime Freddy's best friend is Bon Bon and is rarely seen without carrying him. He sees him as a brother figure, and is the first person he goes to for advice, reassurance, and much-needed hugs. He occasionally speaks to him in a sweet, babyish tone—like how one would normally speak to an adorably small animal—much to Bon Bon's annoyance.

* Funtime Freddy's spouses, Funtime Foxy and Funtime Chica, are seldom seen in *Neopets Time,* but he often talks about them in a highly affectionate manner. He keeps a locket containing their pictures in his chest cavity.

* It was speculated by viewers that *Neopets Times'* Funtime Freddy is autistic-coded, which was later confirmed by Lobie, one of the writers*.* Reportedly, Lobie said: "Funtime Freddy is autistic. My uncle who works at FNAF told me." Nobody bothered to fact-check his claim.

* Funtime Freddy is often depicted eating sweets and pizza, but it's unclear how or why, since he's an animatronic. Lobie states the reason is that "He's really dumb."

* It's implied throughout the series that Funtime Freddy is a devoted Flipnote user and Flipnote Frog fanboy. Funtime Freddy has been seen carrying a Nintendo DS in some episodes, and shows off a stickman Flipnote he made in "The April Fool." He has also demonstrated an interest in songs around the 2009-2012 era, such as "Blame It On the Pop" and "Dynamite," which were songs frequently used on Flipnote Hatena. Lastly, he is seen wearing a Flipnote Frog T-shirt in "Comic Conventional."

* Funtime Freddy has the ability to mimic sounds and voices, which is a reference to one of his abilities described in *Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.*

* His full name, "Friedrick Faschbär," is of German descent. He occasionally cusses in German or speaks it during moments of extreme emotion, which may imply that it's his native language.
