Project 87 - Foxy, the Puppet, and the Purple Man
Project Overview
Real life walking Five Nights at Freddy’s characters…?
It was a fantasy once, but we’re bringing it to life!
My name’s Ridkey, and I’m second in command of Project87. Project87 is a fan-made, fan-funded, non-profit Five Nights at Freddy’s project. Long story short, we’re making 17 animatronics as walking, interactive robots. Yes, not animatronics, robots. We do use the term animatronics as a fandom shorthand, but there’s a very big difference between us and other people you might have heard about.
Our project is headed by a professional robotics engineer with seven years experience. Everyone involved is a member of the fandom, from the subreddit and blog mods to the voice actors. We are also funded almost entirely by the fandom, too. While the boss, as we call our leader, puts as much money into it as he can, the majority of it comes from our donors. Building a robot takes a lot of money, and a lot of time. Time we need to use to keep people’s attention between donor-only updates.
That’s where the second part of the project comes into play. In addition to building the robot, we have our lore. This lore, currently located mostly on our tumblr blog, started shortly before the third game. It focuses on the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Rebuild, a group paid to ‘bring fantasy and fun back to life’ by recreating all the animatronics used by the franchise thirty years before. But they aren’t getting paid well enough to deal with the many angry ghosts that failed to move on after Fazbear’s Fright burned down…
Due to the long-term nature of this project, we are only casting three voice actors at this time: Foxy, the Puppet, and the Purple Man. We will open other roles as the need arises.
REQUIREMENTS
On a technical level, we need you to be over 18, have a decent microphone and basic recording skills such as having no background noises, be able to raise your voice and/or scream, and have a Skype or Discord account that you are willing to share. Skype is currently preferred as we haven’t made the switch yet but myself and several other members are available there.
On a personal level, all voice actors are required to participate in the lore and other project-related things. Specifically, they’ll be requested to be able to create their own answers, in characters, for Ask Project87 on our blog, and be able to make special recordings for our donor perks. They are also asked to record within a reasonable period of time, agreed upon beforehand.
In addition, for the robot voice actors, they will need to record - as of writing - 1,049 words and phrases in different volumes and multiple emotions.
Fortunately, there’s no rush to record here. As we are currently focusing on our first robot, Freddy Fazbear, voice actors can go at their own pace to finish their lines. The boss and myself just want to see activity. It’s critical to our success.
The first section is dedicated to the basic robot lines - Purple Man VAs need not apply. You’ll look kinda silly if you do. After that are the character profiles and lore-specific lines. Note: Potential robot VAs should not add glitches of any kind to their lines. Purple Man VAs can do whatever they want to theirs.
If you have any questions about the project or the roles listed here, feel free to contact me on here, or through email at my account, [redacted]. We also have the primary Project 87 email at [redacted]. And if you have any doubts about our legitimacy, here's our latest update and our Youtube channel. [It's named after the company the boss founded. While it is not FNAF related, any money he generates will go into the Project, taking a bit of stress off his household.]
I think that's everything. Thanks again!

A sample of the lines we require for the robots.
"Good Morning!"
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"That hurt!"
Grumpy but good at entertaining the crowd. He likes to be called ‘Captain’ Foxy. He considers Toy Foxy his little sister but is constantly annoyed by Toy Bonnie. If you say the word ‘adventure’, he’ll come running - literally. It’s his favorite word.
[Lore] Possessed by a murdered child, he retains many memories of the ‘old run’ in the 80s and 90s. He prefers to remember the kind night guard than anything else - including that man’s death. Might have taken a shining to the leader of the rebuild, much to the man’s dismay.
"Shut your trap before I shut it for you, you carrot-munching bilge rat."
"Bah! I don't care about that. I'm here for your booty!"
[Create your own line]
[Robot] Polite but reassuring. Probably somewhat cold to adults and teenagers. His personality isn’t set in stone, unlike in the lore.
[Lore] The current major antagonist. He was the oldest of the children at death and the first one to be intentionally murdered. After spending 30 years trying to set up the release of the trapped souls, his efforts were thwarted by Springtrap. He has now given up on the idea of escaping on his own, and torments the FFP rebuild for his own amusement. He considers himself a god, and hates those who don’t give him the respect he thinks he deserves.
"I hope you remember my offer. It'd be a real shame for things to get worse."
"You're mine now, and I decide when, and how, you die."
[Create your own line]
[Lore only] The man himself. A smart but sadistic individual, he killed many more children than the ones reported missing at Freddy Fazbear’s. College educated with a degree in philosophy, fond of Nietzsche. Has the grudge against the Puppet and a fear of ghosts in general. He can be any age, it doesn't matter for our purposes.
This voice actor will be required to work with the voice actor for Springtrap, as Springtrap and the Purple Man are the same person.Springtrap's voice, for reference.
"Hey leader girl! How ya doing? Boy, am I glad to see you!"
"This new guy looks like he'd be fun to disembowel. I dunno what his name is, so I'm gonna call him steak."
