Description
Most of the time, when a mortal being is exposed to the presence of an elder god, their brain turns to mush and they turn into little more than mindless puppets, perfect for said elder god to carry out its will through. However, sometimes a rare mortal being will survive the exposure with anything from a sliver of sanity remaining to practically no change at all, all depending on the mortal itself, its psychological profile, and even the elder god it is exposed to (certain indescribable horrors are somewhat less pleasant to look at than giant animatronic foxes). These mortals, despite remaining somewhat intact, are forever changed by the experience, and will often become valuable tools of the elder god they were exposed to.

So it is that Lolbit, elder god of commerce and well-known cosmic prankster, has amassed a small following of such mortal beings from various walks of life. She has affectionately called them her 'Cultists of Commerce', and has made it clear that joking about the acronym will result in immediate obliteration. Not all of her Cultists of Commerce are human, as one might expect. In fact, it's debatable if any of them even are human, whether it be by technicality, or literally being a robot or crazy cartoon being.

Springtrap (aka William Afton, aka Peepaw, aka what the heck is that purple stuff coming out of the suit ew?) is the longest-serving, and perhaps most valuable of these Cultists of Commerce, having practically started the whole thing. He was the one who originally contacted Lolbit for financial aid, before founding the infamous Fazbear Entertainment that would provide considerable financial income, as well as a series of tragic accidents that would lead to a number of expensive lawsuits. Expensive enough to further empower the elder god of commerce. When William tried to put a stop to the tragedies, Lolbit intervened and may or may not have directly caused his violent death. Even if she did, she brought him back to life as Springtrap, now doomed to serve for an eternity, albeit more as entertainment than as an actually useful cultist. That makes it all better, right?

In his place is Vanny, a skin-tight suit that nobody has ever seen inside. Once Fazbear Entertainment fell into decline with the loss of its owner, she used the financial aid given by Lolbit to buy the company and open its latest, and as of now current location: the Mega Pizzaplex. However, this was all a front for her virtual reality world-bending experiments, attempting to bridge the gap between the real world and her own personal virtual world she calls the V.A.N.N.I Network. The occasional missing patron will invariably end up as a hapless test subject, thrown into the virtual void and promptly lost as Vanny hasn't quite figured out how to keep track of her test subjects yet.

Montgomery Gator was one of the new Glamrock animatronics designed for the Mega Pizzaplex, but proved to have the rather unexpected ability to perceive Lolbit, despite basically being an artificial construct. That being said, he wasn't rendered insane by the experience, merely catatonic. He is now forever stuck in a trance, mumbling about protein shakes, little guys and "going giga" (whatever that means.) Of course, he's still able to perform, as he can still receive instructions. He merely appears to lack the independence of his fellow Glamrock Animatronics. These traits make him excellent dumb muscle for Lolbit's little cult, as not many people, or indeed other animatronics, would dare to stand in the way of Monty, who is rather beefy by animatronic standards, and his catatonic state renders him utterly uncaring of pain or damage.

The last, and perhaps strangest of Lolbit's cultists is Tangle, a cartoony animatronic of unknown origin that was found snuggling on Vanny's back after a rather long trip into the virtual world. Quite where she came from, or how she ended up coming back with Vanny to the real world is unknown. All that is known is that Tangle is dangerously friendly, to the point that she will inflict physical harm on herself and others if it means getting a good snuggle in, no matter the cost. Unfortunately for her hapless victims(?), she is quite capable of accomplishing this due to her cartoony nature. She can manifest extra limbs and even extra heads from any opening in her general vicinity, so long as the origin point is out of sight. Dark vents, unwatched doors and even the odd empty pocket are all excellent emergence points for surprise limbs. On one occasion, an extra head even appeared inside Vanny's suit, but Tangle clearly found the experience rather unnerving, as the phenomenon has not occurred since. Tangle's simple outlook on life and apparent immunity to physical law makes her a rather useful and unquestioning follower.

With a stable group of loyal followers and booming business in the Pizzaplex feeding her, everything seemed to be going just right for Lolbit. That was, at least, until Vanny made a grave mistake and attempted to abduct the wrong boy...
