That's just one possible explanation, you're going with yours, and I'm going with mine. Just don't act like it's confirmed, unless word of Scott does confirm it.
That's the thing, he's definitely in SL and FFPS, and probably in FNaF 1 and 4, but we don't know if he's the protagonist(s) of FNaF 2 and 3. I mean odour isn't exactly good evidence in my eyes, and there's no way odour was meant as anything other than a joke at the time the games were made.
It's ok, I'm obviously not intelligent to understand your theory ;)
Look, I know that the story is complicated, but I feel, instead of trying to make it more convoluted, you should use the clues that point to the most logical solution; for example Scrap Baby was twisted by the programming, but it's simpler to say she's Elizabeth instead on Michael, as there to no evidence in my eyes that he is Baby.
Here's a question, if Michael is Scrap Baby, then why does Henry call Baby Elizabeth? Also when does Michael make his monologue?
I just feel like you're making the story too convuluted for yourself, I just stick to Occams Razor I.e if ScrapTrap sounds and acts like William, then he's William/Springtrap
Man... I literally disagree with most of these theories, but I am in awe of the effort you've put in. You remind me of Blackfootferret the most. (nice idea about UCN Fredbear)
I have one big question, if your theory is true, why does Scraptrap both sound and act like William?
... Mike's soul seems to have bonded to his body as seen in the SL cutscenes, but Scraptrap is definitely possessed by William, and there is nothing that indicates Ballora and thus Ennard/Molten Freddy contains the soul of Mrs Afton.
The SL cutscene, and thus FNaF 3, has got to occur before FFPS, as how would Springtrap escape a inescapable fire. It makes sense that Springtrap could escape the FNaF 3 Fire, as it could not be controlled, unlike FFPS, which was planned to go up in flames.
"And the Afton in the credits could simply refer to Molten Freddy."
Excuse me, WHAT?
Fair enough, you're right to be thorough. Here's my take on it:
Michael Afton is definitely the Mike from the Logbook and thus is Mike Schmidt. However there's nothing that indicates he is the CC, as having the FNaF 4 nightmares doesn't mean it's set around 1983. It could very easily take place after FNaF 1, as it would explain why the Nightmares moved in the same way as FNaF 1, as well as the distorted Phone Guy call from FNaF1, the one mentioning the Bite of 87, being used as ambience. We can establish that Mike heard the call mentioning the Bite of 87, and was reminded of the Bite of 83. As well as this, he went through a traumatising Night Shift, and thus began to imagine he was a scared and alone child, in his old bedroom, being attacked by monsters. After all the CC bedroom and the FNaF 4 one are completely different, meaning Michael and the CC may not be the same person.
Well that's the thing, the Logbook features a drawing of Nightmare Fredbear by Michael under "recent dreams"... so yeah i dunno.
