Postal (video game series)/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Postal Dude

Your main character. Can be a lunatic or pacifist, your call.

  • Actual Pacifist: Technically achievable in the second game, though very difficult to pull off.
  • Badass: Even if he never kills anyone, just surviving all the batshit insanity of his own universe qualfies him.
    • Badass Pacifist: If the pacifist run is attempted.
    • One Man Army: Invoked, since it's basically the entire game world against the Postal Dude.
    • Sociopathic Hero: Even as a pacifist, he has a very callous amount of respect for human life, even if he's not doing the killing.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Over half of the Postal Dude's dialogue.
  • Going Postal: The whole point to the game is to invoke this trope, though you can be a pacifist if you want.
  • Heroes Love Dogs: He cares quite a bit about Champ, rescuing him is basically the plot of Paradise Lost.
  • Henpecked Husband: The catalyst of the second game plot in fact.
  • I Regret Nothing: His catchphrase, more or less. Standard line if you make him commit suicide.
  • Pet the Dog: When he's given the chance to be a law abiding citizen and he isn't treated like shit, he can be a legitimately nice guy.
  • Unlucky Everydude: Even as a pacifist, he never asked for the shit he has to deal with.
