Oswald

**Oswald** is the main protagonist of the first story  of *Fazbear Frights: Into the Pit*.

## Appearance

Oswald is a 10 year old boy with a round face and rosy cheeks, with black wide eyes, and shoulder-length orange hair. He wears a white and black striped T-shirt, blue jeans, and an jacket.

## About

Oswald is a fifth-grader who lives in a very small town. He studies at a school called Westbrook Elementary. His family is now tight on money as his dad recently lost his job due to the local mill closing and currently has a part-time job at Snack Space. However, his mom's job at the hospital is able to keep the family running. He has a close friend named Ben who moved away due to his dad getting a new job after the closing of the aforementioned mill.

He seems to like his mom more than his dad as he was always annoyed at how out-of-date he is and would sometimes argue with him.

He likes to draw, with recent subjects being ambiguously creepy anthropomorphized animals that were furry on the outside but robotic on the inside. He has a preference science-fiction, using his days at the library to read a series in the genre and an unidentified manga as well as playing on online fantasy game. He enjoys the old Zendrelix movies (likely a parody of old Godzilla movies), ironic given his dislike of his dad's outdated tastes.

## History

Living in a very small town. Oswald studies at a school called Westbrook Elementary. He grew up in a relatively poor family, as his dad only has a part-time job at Snack Space after losing his job at the mill, however his mom's job at the hospital are able to keep the family running. He has a close friend called Ben, who had moved away from the town.

He seems to like his mom more than his dad, as he was always annoyed at how out-of-date he is and would sometimes argue with him.

After having the same routine for a few days, before dad picked him up at Jeff's Pizza, Oswald decided to hide in the ball pit in the place and let his dad find him.

After spending what seemed an abnormal about of time under the balls, Oswald emerged to find himself in completely different place. The room was filled with children and arcade machines and was way brighter and more colorful than Jeff's miserable pizza place. He saw also three animatronics standing on the stage: a bear, a rabbit, and a bird. He found them similar to the drawings he made before, but definitely on the creepier end of the scale. He bumped into two kids who looked like the same age as him, Chip and Mike. After playing a few games with them, Oswald started to worry about how to go back to his world. To do so, he would simply dive back into the ball pit and pop back out in Jeff's.

Over the next few weeks, Oswald goes into the pit to play with Chip and Mike, doing his best to keep up with conversations relevant to 1985 and trying hard not to talk about anything from the future. Sometimes he would see a man in a yellow rabbit costume, finding it weird that no one else seems to pay the rabbit any mind. However, one day, he comes out of the ball pit to hear screaming, frantic running, and crying. He sees the rabbit beckoning him to a back room and he follows out of curiosity, thinking he can't be harmed in a time before he was even born. There, he sees six dead kids, each wearing party hats. Oswald runs to the ball pit as fast he can to get back to the present day.

Once outside of the ball pit, he sees Jeff and his dad who are mad at him for hiding in the off-limits ball pit. As they're about to leave, the bunny appears, pulling Oswald's dad into the pit. After a cartoonish fight under the balls with human and rabbit legs flinging about the surface, the bunny emerges from the pit and takes Oswald to his dad's car. Jeff seems to make no notice of the rabbit. Once home, Oswald frantically texts his mom for help, but when she gets home, she is confused as everything is normal. Turns out, everyone sees the bunny as a normal human except for Oswald. And his cat.

After figuring out that he's the only one who can see the rabbit for who he is, he spends the next several days pretending the rabbit is really his father, biding his time to make an escape.

A few days later, Oswald gets his chance and sneaks out of the house to investigate the ball pit more. He finds his dad unconscious, but alive, inside of it. As he tries to get him out, the bunny attacks, revealing itself as an organic creature and unhinging its jaw to bite Oswald, drawing blood. Oswald manages to cause the bunny to accidentally hang itself on a rope over the ball pit, killing it. Oswald and his dad, who has no memory of the event, go home, with everything ending on a relatively normal note.
