I actually have ideas about a potential AU for Daybreak Academy, but I really should slow down on that considering I'm supposed to be working on getting Miku in (and I haven't posted to the new TDM with her yet either)

Bendy is a bit of an odd character to get into games considering his role in his source material. They do have the cartoon shorts to draw on I guess, but those things are really short and don't give much to work with

So the idea I had for him for Daybreak is that he's the result of Joey Drew contracting with a daemon to bring the Joey Drew Studio characters to life. He may or may not be an actual daemon himself but things still went wrong in a similar way to canon. The big difference between canon and the rp is that Bendy has a perfect toon form.

I think maybe it he might have not been able to at first? So that Joey locked him away like in the canon backstory? But at some point he did figure out how to shift to looking like how he's supposed to look.

Or I dunno.

But the the toon characters would all exist as their own entities instead of being fusions with members of the staff, though maybe that still ended up happening for some reason anyway

Or maybe the ink demon Bendy from the game was an imperfect first try after Joey contracted and Bendy was the result of Joey actually trying again once he had a better hang of his powers?

The first idea has more angst potential, but also want Bendy's personality to be a bit closer to the one shown in the cartoon shorts (maybe not too close though)

The cartoon shorts are kinda weird anyway. They contradict what the devs have said about him being a troublemaker since the shorts mostly show him being the one getting into trouble rather than causing it himself
