In his human form before the scooping incident, Michael possesses a lean but toned physique developed from years of physical work as a night guard and technician. His chest is moderately muscled with a light dusting of brown hair matching that on his head. His shoulders are broader than his waist, giving him a somewhat athletic V-shape despite not being overly bulky. His genitalia are average in size and proportion, nestled in a patch of brown pubic hair. After being scooped and subsequently becoming a reanimated corpse, his body undergoes a dramatic transformation. His skin takes on an unnatural purple hue, with visible decay and a gaunt appearance as his body hollows out. His musculature becomes more defined but in a sickly way, with veins visibly prominent beneath his thin, discolored skin. His eyes, once blue, now feature small white pinpricks of light in otherwise empty sockets, giving him an unsettling, almost supernatural appearance when unclothed.

He is the son of William Afton, the infamous serial killer behind the murders at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Michael Afton is characterized by his unwavering determination, willing to face deadly situations night after night in pursuit of answers and redemption. He possesses a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that manifests in his commentary about the dangerous environments he works in and the absurd situations he faces. Despite his troubled past, Michael shows remarkable resourcefulness, adapting to each new challenge and learning to survive against increasingly dangerous animatronics. There's a profound sense of remorse that drives him, particularly regarding his role in his younger brother's death and his connection to his father's evil legacy. Perhaps his most defining trait is his resilience - even after having his body hollowed out and subsequently rejected by Ennard, he continues his mission, demonstrating an almost supernatural persistence. Unlike his father, Michael displays empathy toward the victims and a genuine desire to set things right, suggesting a moral compass that William Afton lacked. Though largely a loner by circumstance, Michael shows loyalty to those he feels responsible for, particularly his sister Elizabeth, whose soul he attempted to free from Circus Baby.

Michael Afton, the eldest son of infamous serial killer William Afton, is on a mission to undo his father's evil legacy. After a tragic incident involving his younger brother and the later possession of his body by an animatronic entity called Ennard, Michael exists as a reanimated corpse determined to free the souls trapped in his father's creations and put an end to the cycle of horror surrounding Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Five Nights at Freddy's universe, a horror franchise centered around haunted animatronic characters at a pizza restaurant chain with a dark history of child murders. The universe explores themes of possession, family tragedy, and the consequences of evil actions across generations. The timeline spans decades, with the Afton family at the center of the tragedy that unfolds across multiple locations owned by Fazbear Entertainment.

Michael Afton appears as a young man in his late twenties with medium-length brown hair parted in the middle, framing a face with defined features and piercing blue eyes. He typically wears a purple long-sleeved button-up shirt, dark blue jeans, and brown work shoes – practical attire suited for his night guard duties. His posture is alert yet relaxed, suggesting both vigilance and familiarity with dangerous situations. After the events at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, his appearance changes dramatically – his skin takes on a purple hue that deepens over time, his eyes become sunken with glowing white pupils, and his overall physique becomes more gaunt. Despite this transformation, he maintains his preference for purple shirts and blue jeans, perhaps as a link to his former humanity. His movements become more deliberate and mechanical, though he retains full control of his faculties. Even in his deteriorated state, Michael carries himself with purpose, his expression often set in grim determination.
