My Poppy Playtime OC's. (Yes, it's part of my AU).
Finally posting about my OC's, Good Lord this took five straight hours of work.
And before anyone asks, my AU is simple, some of the bigger experiments (like Ms. Delight, Mommy, Kissy and Huggy) were former employees who broke the rules or found out something they shouldn’t have, after Rowan and some others were killed, Leith realized just how inefficient the killing was since most of the toys worked with the kids or under and couldn’t work with maintenance or something, so, they decided to turn some employees into toys.
Please keep in mind that these are OC's and are NOT canon to the Poppy Playtime original game lore, this is part of MY AU. Thanks.
PS: before I start, I just want to make it clear that I may or may not have accidently written "Matthew" instead of "Matt" for the black boy, accident on my part, those two are completely different characters.
Michael (Mike or Mikey) Stone was an orphan at Playtime Co. he was orphaned in 1988 when his parents, himself, and younger sister were in a car crash, him and his sister, Melissa (or Missy), survived, but their parents didn't. Mike and Missy ended up in playtime Co. when Mike was seven and Missy was a year old, he was born in January of 1981, and was fourteen years old. Mike had a small friend group with three other boys, Chris, Andy, and Matthew (Matt for short). These boys were inseparable and were always together. Mike was what you'd call a "problem child" like Kevin. He was always getting into fights, talking back, and sneaking off around the factory (with his friends, of course). Arthur was always yelling at him and the counselors saw him on the daily. But Mike was a true family boy, he loved his friends and sister more than his own life, whenever one of them would get into trouble, Mike would take the fall, though his longest lasting friend was Chris. He also had a keen eye, noticing that all of the kids who had done well in the Game Station were adopted randomly out of the blue. So, he made sure to always get the worst marks, like 1 out of 5 on the daily.
Chris Davis was a sweet hearted, extroverted boy with too much energy for the world. He was born in March 1981 and was fourteen years old. He grew up in Playcare, and when Mike first came to Playcare, Chris grabbed him by the arm and took him to a game of tag, marking their permanent friendship. He was a decent student and got average marks in the Game Station, nothing too much, just enough to stay off the radar from Leith and Harley. He cared for Missy like his own sister, loved her to the moon and back, always made sure she was okay, he was a brother for everyone.
Matt Johnson was a smart boy. He was born in April 1981 and was fourteen years old. Always eager to learn something new, his parents were teachers before he entered Playcare at twelve. Chris pretty much picked him up and forced Matt to be his, Mike, and Andy's friend. Matt was okay with that, he enjoyed their company, even if they were all completely opposites. The other three boys were extroverted and carefree, always playing some sort of game or breaking the rules and running off, but Matt was quiet, always had a journal in hand where he wrote whatever he felt was a little more important then to be put in a simple school notebook. (Some of the other kids tried picking on him, but Mike and Andy put that down quickly). Matt got amazing marks in the Schoolhouse, that was because he went to talk to Sam about stuff he didn't understand and ask for extra information, but he got incredibly low marks in the Game Station. Harley noticed and tried to talk to him like what he did to Quinn, but Mike always snatched Matt away. Harley didn't care and planned to turn Matt into the bigger body version of bubba bubbaphant since that toy and Kickin Chicken had a problem and the boys inside them died. They needed someone else, and they had just found their Bubba. The surgery was scheduled for August ninth 1995.
Andy Miller was an energetic, feisty, confident boy who loved to play sports all the time. He born on May 1981 and was thirteen years old. He loved playing outside whenever he got the chance, he especially loved Basket Ball and always had one on him. Like Chris, he also grew up in Playcare, but that didn't stop him from learning about the outside world in a sort of rebellion against the workers who always tried to keep him in one spot. He was overly confident in himself and challenged anyone who said he wasn't the best at sports, always winning against them, though he sometimes like the younger kids win. Andy got horrible marks in the Schoolhouse and two of the Game Station games, except Statues, he was amazing at it since it meant that you could move without anyone telling you not to, it was his favorite game and he would always try to beat the hard mode (though he never did). He was good friends with Theo and was always talking to him about anything and everything sports, Theo listened and never interrupted, it always brought a smile to Andy's face and he enjoyed listening to all the latest news about Andy's achievements and Basket Ball. Harley noticed this and decided that Andy was the perfect boy for the Bigger Body of Kicken Chicken. The surgery was scheduled for August fifteenth 1995.
Melissa (Missy) Stone was Mike's younger sister, born in August 1987, and was eight years old. She only remembered Playtime Co. and Playcare, but Mike would sometimes tell her stories about their parents. Missy would listen like there was no tomorrow. She was the sweetest kid you would ever meet, all the counselors and employees loved her, she was a smart girl who got excellent marks in the Game Station and in the Schoolhouse. All the other orphans loved her and she was friends with everyone. She loved her brother and his friends, some of the employees even said that she was a mix of all four boys, they were all that alike!
One day, while all the boys were doing their regular sneak-out-of-Playcare-for-fun. when they accidently entered the Lab, they snuck past all the guards and found some files, Andy grabbed one while Matt tried to convince him not to. Andy grabbed one of the files and started reading, he dropped them soon after. They were the files for the Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy experiments. Mike picked them up and read the first few words, Chris and Matt reading from behind his shoulder. Mike didn't even panic, he stuffed the papers back where they were and Matt said that they needed to leave the Lab before anyone caught them, but none of the boys could remember where they had came from, so they started in a random direction. And that was when they overheard Leith and Harley talking. It was about Missy. They were talking about how she was perfect for the Florina Flower toy, she was an exact copy of the character's personality, she was also sweet, loved flowers, and helped whoever was in need. Perfect the the Florina Flower Bigger Body. Mike stumbled on his feet for a sec, but Chris caught him, Andy whispered that they had to get out of there. They started tip toeing out of the Lab (mainly because Mike was getting dizzy on his feet from what he had heard). When they were finally out, they sat in Home Sweet Home and started talking about a plan to escape. Missy's surgery was for another week so they had time to plan it. So, they planned to escape the next day. What they hadn't expected was for the surgery date to be moved to that very night. Mike told Missy that they were leaving the next day and to pack a bag with everything she needed. Missy wanted to question it, but the way Mike talked made her keep the question to herself.
That very night, Playtime Co. scientists came and took Missy to the lab. The next morning, Mike was frantically looking for Missy, the employees told him she got adopted, Mike said that there was no way that she had gotten adopted in the middle of the night and was yelling at them to take him to his sister. Arthur had to grab Mike and shake him, telling him to calm down, and that she was with another family. Mike shrunk into a corner and was about to cry when his friends came and told him that the surgery had been moved up. Mike was going to run out of Playcare and into the Labs had Chris not talked him out of it, they were escaping that night and they didn't want to delay it.
On May 28th, 1995. The boys grabbed their backpacks and ran out of Playcare when all the employees had gone to bed. Some guards noticed and started running after them, but the boys were too fast, they outran them and were almost outside when Leith sent Huggy to go get them. Huggy was incredibly fast, but had just been turned into a toy, he wasn't used to this new body, but still followed orders. Matt was starting to cry while holding the journal that he and Sam had filled to the brim, Mike was shouting at Huggy to leave them alone, Chris and Andy were just trying to run as fats as the other two.
Adrenaline wasn't helping them.
Thankfully, they managed to escape the factory. When Leith heard, he was ready to call the police, but didn't he knew that it was too risky. Mike was supposed to be the Bigger Body for Florina's male counterpart, Florian Flower, not to mention the fact that Andy and Matt were supposed to be Kickin and Bubba. Leith was enraged and threatened to kill the boys if they were to ever show their faces around the factory again.
Meanwhile, the boys had started living on the streets while going to an actual school and waiting till they were old enough to get jobs. Andy became a basket ball coach, Matt was a private tutor, Mike was a mechanic, and Chris was an event planner. When they had finally saved up for a house, they started saving money to send one of them to college, that ended up being Matt, who ended up being an investment banker and got paid incredibly well. They moved houses and by the time it was 2005, they all had decent jobs and earnings. Mike was a full time mechanic, Chris was teaching basket ball at the high school they went to, and Chris was an intern at an office building. All was well.
On a random day in 2005, a letter was sent to their house, it had a VHS tape and a letter. The very same letter that told the Player that some of the employees were still alive and needed saving. Mike stared at it for a second before calling his boss and telling him that he was going to miss work for a week, and getting dressed. Leaving only a note for his friends that he was going somewhere and not to wait up. Mike despised the company. When he had heard about the factory shutting down in 1995 due to everyone vanishing, he only said that he wished he was the one that made them disappear. After Missy had been turned into a toy, Mike never forgave himself or the factory for what had happened. He wanted to find those employees and hand them over to the police, he didn't care if they were janitors or maintenance workers, he wanted anyone whose name was on a contract with Playtime Co. to be punished. In his mind, whether they knew it or not. They were helping the Bigger Bodies initiative continue.
When he first entered the factory, all the bad memories came flooding back, he saw Huggy waving and started wondering if he had made a mistake by coming, nonetheless. He wanted to find his sister if she was alive and take her back home. He didn't care how, he just wanted to take her back, even if he didn't know which experiment she was. He just wanted her back.
Facts about the Florina Flower toy: Florina Flower was made in 1982 as a barbie like doll. She did well, not amazing, but she was popular and made the company enough money. She was a sweet hearted, young girl (around 18) who lived in a cottage in the woods and loved flowers. Around two years later, they came out with a male version.
Any questions about the AU will be answered.

Q: Did Theo grow up in PlayCare like Dr. Newman did?
A: No, he was an employee who so happened to meet the Prototype while getting ready to leave.
Q: Are the Prototype and Poppy adults too?
