so, I'm just going over all the animatronics that we've had suggested to add into the restaurant since we've actually got an action for it now.
First off, Jackie from secret of the mimic, I don't think this is an option though since Martin locked off anything from that game until it comes out.
Roxy as a fourth band member, with the plan to split Foxy off into the leader of his own group the band needs a new fourth member, Roxy would be a good fit for this. since this is still early on she likely wouldn't have as fleshed out of a personality, but I feel like "cool older sister" is still a good archetype to fit her into.
Orville Elephant, this was a weird one, but as a stage magician we could essentially just set him up doing an act in one of the party rooms by himself like Foxy is now. we wouldn't even need to change him from his canon design or personality.
the plan to have Ned Bear be a villain that tries to impersonate Freddy could technically be done now but I feel like our animatronics might not be advanced enough for elaborate performances like that yet.
the plan for giving Foxy his crew would need to wait for us to expand the restaurant more since it would be a full second set of animatronics, but currently for his crew we have Monty (we would probably want his personality to lean more towards "lovable idiot" than mindless brute), a brand new beaver animatronic named Chippy, and a sister for Foxy (I don't think we ever expanded on that idea)
the idea to make Happy Frog (renamed Maddy Frog, just to make her fit in more) the leader of an incompetent rival band would need us to expand more since it would be the third full set of animatronics, to be honest we'd need to be nearing Pizzaplex size before I considered having all 3 sets at once. the only band member we've given her so far is Pigpatch (the only competent musician in the band exasperatedly trying to help the others improve)
there was also an idea to turn Mr. Hippo into a stand up comedian, but at the same time maybe his current gimmick of being a friendly grandpa supporting character is fine. I don't know why but I'd actually assumed the character was meant to be married to Mystic Hippo, which would be an interesting character detail. and with her magical theme and the fact Mr. Hippo is supposed to be friends with Orville I just realized we could put all of them in the same room and it would make perfect sense. that feels like I've accidentally made a fourth team.
are there any character ideas I'm missing? a few of these ideas also clearly need more work.
