Chat I lied about Roark needing to win so here's the concept art/stuff I was talking about in regards to a sygna suit
So... here's a design for Sygna Suit Roark and Nihilego! Because I thought it would be really funny if I paired him up with his tormentor and he got Nihilego instead of Lusamine. He'd be a 5 star unit with an ex because... well... sygna suits are five stars and it'd be cruel to make him the outlier. Haven't made a ex recolor, but I suppose it'd flip around the colors a little bit. Pale blue is replaced with purple and vice versa. Probably leave everything else alone for the most part. Maybe make his shirt white.
Very heavily based off of Nihilego's design + color palette. Did take some creative liberties with it though so it didn't feel too similar to his original design. Emphasized Nihilego's poison typing when it came to the leggings, so there's some added purple and a wavy pattern for the singular thigh high. Also wanted to add in details that would point to his geological origin without being too obvious, so there exists two geology-related design choices in his outfit. Brownie points to whoever finds em. Couldn't decide between Nihilego's blue and Roark's yellow for the highlights, so I used both.
Below is me rambling how he'd work in game, so if you're only here for the art, I'd recommend stopping here.
So you've chosen to listen to my hour long rambling. Arceus bless you and by the gods you will be here for a while.
When it comes to his sygna suit, I want it to feel different but still kind of reminiscent of his original kit. With him and Rampardos, he's essentially a nuker that nukes himself in the process whilst dealing a ridiculous amount of damage. That's the part that feels the most memorable about his kit, so I'd want it to transfer over to his sygna suit counterpart.
So... the only logical next step is to make him a ridiculously good support pair that nukes themselves with their abilities. A kit that's focused on maximizing buffs for the sweeper before the pair kicks the bucket. Something not very good for multi-stage progression levels, but phenomenal for boss levels.
Its not really finalized (this is a concept post, after all), but here's some ideas I'll shoot out.
One (1) singular attack move that all characters must have
Acid Spray — 1 bar
Ridiculously weak, only use if you're in a pinch. Something must have gone terribly wrong if you're using this.
24 power (Special and Poison type)
100% accuracy
No additional effects
The other move that isn't really an attack move
Pain Split — 3 bars
The reason it's three bars is because I can smell how broken this is going to be. I can smell it. Good heavens, is it Sunday already?
Equals out the Health points between Roark and the target. Works how it works in the mainline games. If the opponent has high health and Roark has low, they level out to the middle ground and vice versa. Probably broken on bosses. Do I have a fix? Nope. Do I care to fix it? Nope.
--- power; this move is based purely on health
100% accuracy
No additional effects
Support moves that aren't actually pokemon moves
Hemlock-Tipped Rock (2/2)
Raises all stats of all allied pairs by one stage. When below 50% health, this raises all stats by two stages.
Removes 25% of Roark's total health, regardless of how much HP he has remaining.
Neurotoxin Overload! (1/1)
PERMANENTLY increases the speed that the move gauge recovers bars (for the rest of the match, at least). Move gauge fully replenished.
PERMANENTLY halves Roark's total health and remaining health. If he had 800 total health with 400 health remaining, he would end up having 400 total health with 200 health remaining. Potions and/or healing moves will not recover the total health loss. (For the rest of the match, at least).
The strongest double-edged blade in the game if this got added in. Nukes the units health for instant refill + permanent speed increase of regeneration for move gauge. Using this in tandem with both Hemlock-Tipped Spears will kill Roark but set the remaining strikers up for a sweep. Just like Arceus intended.
Sync Move!!! Yaaay!
Crystallized Sludge Wave
200 power base move
All opponents
The less health Roark has left, the more powerful this move is
—
Okay awesome, the moves are all finished. If you came here for those, you can move on. The rest of this post is going to be about skills.
—
Skills, hooray?
Skills are great, aren't they? You barely notice them if they're trash and notice if they're the reason a character is busted. Anyways.
Passive
Follow me
Attacks that strike multiple allies instead hit only Roark and Nihilego for all of the damage it would have done.
Say, in a normal scenario, a move would hit ally 1 for 100, Roark for 100, and ally 2 for 100. With this ability, allies 1 and 2 take no damage, but Roark takes 300.
This cannot be good for his health. This sync pair + sygna suit cannot be good for his health. Has anyone checked to see if Nihilego has injected poison into him? It must've if he's willingly having this skill.
Theme skills
Poison
Sinnoh
Gym Leader
Sygna Suit
Supernatural
Lucky Skill Recommendations
You can't really force lucky skills onto sync pairs as... well... they're luck-based and depend entirely on the build you're using. Here's what I'd recommend if he ever got in game.
—Power Reserves 2 : powers up moves when user is in a pinch (aka, has little health). You can imagine why I choose this one.
—Revenge Boost 4 : 50% chance of refilling move gauge by one upon getting hit. Points to passive skill.
Ex Role
Not touching this one because even after extensive googling I have no idea how this works.
End note
So, yeah. There's the concept stuff for a Roark sygna suit with Nihilego. Probably will be refined if I ever take another look at this, but this is what I got.
If you read this far, I hope you enjoyed! This post was a nice callback to those smash moveset concepts I used to make back in the day.

Rules: List Five Comfort Characters And Tag Five People. This is in no particular order.
Thanks to @dathen for the tag! We have two comfort characters in common, so I’m list them as the first two!
1. Sherlock Holmes - My dad and I started watching the old black and white films together when I was kid, and he gave me my first Sherlock Holmes collection when I was young. Holmes has always been a safe place for me, really, and now as an adult, I’m like...”yeah, no wonder I identified with this character a lot” lol. I regularly reread the ACD stories and semi-recently got an audiobook with the complete collected works, and someday my dad says he’ll let me have his collection of Holmes films lol
2. Murderbot - I would kill and die for Murderbot. It is one of my favorite characters of all time, and I am relistening to the whole series for the 10th time right now (and I regularly relisten to All Systems Red without returning to the whole series). if you haven’t read the books, please please please do and then come shout in my inbox about it, we will be best friends forever 💜
3. Hercule Poirot - my Belgian detective blorbo, I would kill for Poirot but he would be so disappointed in me. I also regularly relisten to the books, and I love that recent audiobooks have Hugh Fraser and David Suchet (Hasting and Poirot from BBC’s Poirot) narrating the books. I have a collected edition of the Poirot show, and I’m hoping to collect all the books in both audio and paperback so I can always have my blorbo nearby 💜
4. Jane Marple - are you seeing a theme here? I’m being called out by my own choices here lol. but she’s like nosy grandma core without actually being a grandma, and she’s whip smart and loves knitting and her people. I love her to pieces, and if anything happened to me, I’d want her to investigate (I’m also collecting her books and audiobooks. I have all of the BBC Marple show seasons, and next I’m going for the ones with Joan Hickson)
5. Jonathan Sims - my darling, my love, my ultimate blorbo. like dath, I considered not including him, but ultimately, I return to him over and over again, and when pressed, couldn’t think of someone else to put on this list instead of him. I keep putting him in situations so he can get a hug and a blankie 💜💜
Tagging @probsnothawkeye @exactly-myself @shinyopals @artificialdaydreamer @bluejayblueskies but no pressure darlings 💜💜

Gregory is Michael Afton Theory
Bonus (4/4)
Gregory being Michael allows Mike to have a better dad.
The save stations have Helpy on them, and Michael knows Helpy from Pizza Sim.
If Gregory is C.C, shouldn’t it show the Fredbear plush?
Michael has a chance to beat PeePaw up with a crowbar.
After working to stop his father for so long, Michael deserves this.
Gregory doesn’t have to be an animatronic for this theory!
Michael could have been reincarnated or something similar.
If not an animatronic, Michael gets his organs back. He could eat again.
Link to Google Doc with entire theory in once place & Game Theory's Gregory theories: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c2jvwePYHwvmc1DoaqY9qPpczOL9njJL9jiH1tN0qtw/edit?usp=sharing
I didn't reply to the first pieces since you linked the doc here BUT full analysis under the cut
So I'm gonna start by saying this is one of the strangest (in a good way) and most interesting SBB theories I've ever been prosed. Honestly if I was someone who wasn't so ingrained in the lore due to my AUs, I would probably believe this as near infallible. It's THAT well thought out (And this is coming from someone who doesn't really Like Game Theory cause they've been known to kinda pull rabbits from hats, if you know what I mean)
Now I will be overly analytical and pick this apart as my neurons fire a mile a minute
Physical Appearance
While I can see the resemblance, half of the FNAF canon roster is either brown haired or hinted to have dark hair (excluding some of the blonde Aftons and also William, depending on who you ask)
Most of the canon characters are also big fans of Foxy (See Phone Guy for example; I'm pretty sure Foxy is/was Scott's favorite back in the original games. He was also terrified of Bonnie funny enough)
Personality
The Gregory being agitated thing is true, but also, can you REALLY blame him? His entire situation is pretty stressful, I think I'd be a real asshole in that premise as well. Michael's sarcasm has been a known point for sure, the dude canonically loves soap operas he's probably the snarkiest dude around (and I love him for it)
All of this tick marks tbh are just sorta occupational. Gregory not trusting anyone makes sense because he's an orphan who apparently was treated poorly in the streets. OF COURSE he doesn't really like adults, least of all adults in uniform. Michael is paranoid at work because he works in a setting where the robots are trying to kill him
The destroying the bots thing is, again, very understandable. Gregory spent the night trying to survive, he could care LESS how the robots feel. He wants them to stop trying to kill him! Same with Michael, they've fucked him over and its not like theyre living things. Getting rid of them wouldnt be much of a moral dilemma
Storyline
Gregory knows that Freddy has a stomach hatch because its common knowledge. His stomach hatch is for birthday cakes, which means it's perfectly logical for him to know it exists. In the same vein, he would know hiding inside it would be dangerous. Its meant for cake, not kids! Gregory was bold to even attempt it imo but he's a very reckless kid
The family one is SO GOOD but also, unfortunately, can easily be debunked as a basic voiceline for lost children. It's a super mall, children probably get lost all the time. The best way to lure a child (according to William) is to mention their family/things they like. It worked for him, it would work for fan favorite robots
I think thee reason why Gregory seems so adult is because, well, it IS a scripted game. But everything Gregory does is basically spoonfed to him by Freddy, so I don't think it's more so that he's overly smart or working on prior knowledge, its just hes good at context clues and following instructions
I have my own gripes about the Parts and Service system, but for game sake Gregory only succeeds cause failing means death. But yeah all my homies hate P&S
In universe, it would make sense that Gregory hates the Franchis cause....Fazbear Ent fucked up ALOT for a VERY LONG TIME. Most people still hate them, as evident from when HandUnit/Dread Unit just sorta always mentions "forget the past us" and shit like that. It's like being in our universe and hating Amazon for Bezos. Same concept, totally understandable.
The van thing is just funny, I love that one. Little baby driving heehee
My biggest problem with the theory is the gaps. While we don't know FOR SURE when everything takes place, the general consensus is FNAF 3 takes place in 2020 (and if you're one of the Michael is the Fnaf 3 protag believers, that's pretty significant) and SUPPOSEDLY, Pizzeria Simulator most likely takes place between 2023-onward, with Security Breach really close on the heels of it since It's built over the Pizza Place where Henry, William, and Michael all initially die. If Gregory is as old as most fans assume/agree (11-9) then there's no way he can be a reincarnation of Michael cause Michael didn't actually die/lost his remnant until Pizzeria Simulator, and then SB takes place less than 5 or so years after that (According to most theories)
I think its way more plausible that Gregory is a reincarnation of Evan/Crying Child and FREDDY is Michael, because not only does that give us a way better theory premise but it also closes out the Afton family storyline, with the two sons teaming up against their father. Gregory being different personality wise to Evan/the Crying child could easily be explained by Evan getting corrupted by Cassidy's negative remnant before she forced him out during the events of UCN/FNAF3. Could also just be the Afton sass if you wanted to be really dig into it. I could probably go on forever about that theory since I've been thinking about it for a while now
BUT in conclusion while I really like this theory, there's too many holes to really convince me to latch to it like I do other theories. Then again, it IS just a theory. A game theory
