Oswald is the protagonist of Into the Pit, the first story from Fazbear Frights 1: Into the Pit. He's a young boy who, after many boring days in his dying town, decides to enter a strange ball pit that seemingly lets him travel in time.
Physical Appearance[]
Oswald has freckles and a cowlick. He wears a chain around his neck with his house key on it.
In the scrapped artwork for the story, along with the video game adaptation, Oswald has spiky brown hair that is slicked back, light peach skin, and brown eyes (although they are blue on his sprite). He wears deep blue jeans with black shoes, a red and yellow striped t-shirt, and a deep blue opened up hoodie.
Personality[]
Oswald is somewhat pessimistic due to the closure of a mill which left many without a job. He's also embarrassed by his family and electronics, hiding his outdated technology from others in his class and arguing with his father over his out-of-date tastes. Despite his desire to do more, Oswald is very understanding of his family's and others' financial situation and tries his best to be respectful. Oswald likes to draw as a way to escape from his boring day to day life. He also likes sci-fi, watching monster movies and reading a science fiction book series. Oswald used to be more cowardly, running away and hiding from the yellow rabbit, but grows to be brave and fight the monster to save his father.
History[]
Backstory[]
Oswald grew up in a town that had a local mill, where most residents worked at including Oswald's father. During preschool, Oswald got picked on by others due to a cartoon that aired on a little-kid channel about a big pink cat named Oswald. A kid named Dylan Cooper and his friends started calling Oswald "Oswald the Ocelot." Oswald later became friends with a boy named Ben, and the two would have fun no matter what they did. In his free time, Oswald enjoyed drawing. He wasn't the best, but still enjoyed getting lost in the scenes he created and thought he had a nice cartoonish style.
At home, Oswald mostly hung out with his father, as his mother worked long shifts at a hospital. Depending on her work schedule, Oswald's family would celebrate a one-night-a-week event known as Family Fun Night. First they'd get dinner at either a pizza, Chinese, or Mexican restaurant, then they'd do a fun activity together. This could either be seeing a kid friendly movie, going to the bowling alley, or to the roller rink where Oswald's parents went on dates in high school. Since Oswald was a terrible skater, they'd help him skate by holding his hands and keeping him up. The evening usually ended with a waffle cone at the ice-cream place downtown, where Oswald's dad would get made fun of for always choosing vanilla.
When Oswald was seven, the mill closed down and left hundreds of people without jobs. Most moved away, which led to many establishments in town to close their doors. Oswald's family, however, decided to stay thanks to his mom's steady job and his grandmother occasionally needing help. Oswald's dad got a new job at the Snack Space, although he made less than what he did at the mill. Family Fun Night became an at-home affair, with Oswald's mother making something for dinner that's easy but festive. After eating, they'd either play board games or watch a movie rented from Red Box. If the weather was nice, they'd pack a picnic of cold cuts and salads from the Snack Space and head to the state park, eating dinner at a wooden table and watching squirrels, birds, and racoons. Afterwards, they go for a walk on one of the hiking trails. While Oswald still enjoyed these nights, he still understood they were tight on money.
Things got worse for Oswald about three years after the mill's closure when Ben's father got a new, higher paying job 500 miles away. On top of that, in history they were taught about the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the man responsible, Lee Harvey Oswald. With Dylan Cooper tormenting him more, less places in town to have fun, his family stuck with very outdated technology, and Ben no longer around, Oswald begins to feel even more bored and upset than before. As the final day of school approached, he began to draw mechanical bears, bunnies, and birds. Oswald himself is unsure as to why, but every time he opens his notebook he drew the mechanical animals.
Into the Pit[]
As Oswald is driven to his final day of fifth grade at Westbrook Elementary he points out a decaying possum still on the side of the road, which has been made worse by the previous night's rain. His father makes a remark that nothing looks deader than a dead possum, but Oswald tells him their town does as they pass boarded-up storefronts and empty, dusty display windows. His dad tries encouraging Oswald to have fun as he pulls into the drop-off line and drops Oswald off at school. He's momentarily stopped by Dylan, but is left alone and able to make it to class. While others played on their electronic devices, Oswald draws more mechanical animals until the teacher turns the lights off and puts on a movie. At recess, Oswald sits on a bench while others excitedly spoke about their summer plans, missing Ben even more.
