Postal Dude

Plots

Dude

The Dude appears as calm and easy-going, but can be sociopathic and cynical when pushed to the edge. He often states he doesn't like video games after killing people. However, he is seen supporting them, since at one point the Dude sets up a petition to "Make Whiney Congressmen Play Violent Video Games". He wears his trademark leather trench coat and sunglasses at all times. Here, very little is known of the Dude, only that he's been evicted from his home (there's a moving van parked in front of his home) and has been driven insane as a result, but no real back story evolves during the game. The manual however, does mention that the Dude believes his town to be under some sort of madness outbreak and that it's up to him to stop it, as well as the in-game diary of the Dude ranting about "cleansing" the Earth. By the end, he has a breakdown, collapses, and is contained in a mental asylum for study after either attempting a other massacre. Redux's Rampage ending implies that his condition is beginning to worsen, seemingly locked in an "endless struggle against himself". Later he has moved out from his original home to the town of Paradise after accepting a job at the local video game developer. He lives in a shabby trailer in a small neighborhood with his pet Champ the dog and unnamed wife, who continuously gives him orders while forcing the Dude to do various annoying errands.
In the original game, the Postal Dude appears to be nothing more than a homicidal psychopath who hates everyone and everything. The Dude is shown as an antisocial and reclusive loner who is usually just minding his own business. On the surface, he is a very easygoing and imperturbable guy, usually not minding the stuff happening around him and constantly making unflattering and sarcastic remarks about them. Despite all that, he also displays extreme psychotic tendencies, in particular his penchant for bouts of murderous violence against anyone he comes across for a variety of reasons, and sometimes for no reason at all. He tends to view these violent acts in a very blasé fashion (like he doesn't care), or with wry observations ("it's like bowling, only cooler!"), sick humor jokes ("Have a nice day!", "edged weapons -- someone could lose a limb...hehe, yeah!") Or cold self-reflection ("Guns don't kill people, I DO."). In general, he seems to take glee in murdering his enemies and those he does not like. He also loves his dog Champ dearly, going to great lengths to save him on both expansions of the second game. It is also shown that he is very impatient and has a dangerously short temper.
