Silent Hill Origins/Characters: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:41, 9 March 2014

Travis Grady

A trucker with a slight temper problem and a Dark and Troubled Past that, in the words of Zero Punctuation, is the equivalent of a season pass to Silent Hill.

Badass Biker: After finishing the game for the first time, you get a new costume for Travis; motorcycle leathers (which his comments confirm that he owns, alongside a bike).
Berserk Button: Parental Abandonment and Abusive Parents, big time.
Dark and Troubled Past: Which you unfold during the game.
The Ishmael
Nice Hat: His default trucker hat, the Explorer's Costume also gives him one snazzy piece of headgear.
Parental Abandonment: Mother went insane and was locked up in a nuthouse. Dad committed suicide.
Rule of Symbolism: A recurring symbol of his character is a lonely moon; the lyrics to the song O.R.T. on the soundtrack describe him this way. His aforementioned motorcycle leathers have said moon on the back of the jacket.
Spanner in The Works: The Order did not plan on Travis's interference blowing their plans to hell for 7 years.

The Butcher

One of the town's monsters that Travis encounters repeatedly throughout the game. This one "butchers" the other monsters, hence it's name. The bad ending of the game hints that Travis is the Butcher.
