Cosmic Plaything: Dude NEVER catches a break.Cool Shades: He is almost never seen without them.Churchgoing Villain: One mission in 2 involves you going to church to confess your sins, and the Dude wears a cross pin on his lapel in every game since.Come Apocalypse Weekend, the Postal Dude goes out of his way to go to the pound to rescue Champ before he leaves Paradise, Paradise Lost has its entire plot focused around finding Champ, and its now established that Champ is the only person (well, dog) the Dude genuinely and consistently cares about. While this does fit with the Dude being a Jerkass with a Ax-Crazy streak, it would be unthinkable for him to do that now, even for him. The base game of the second game has the Dude kick Champ for peeing on him. Characterization Marches On: A single character trait example.To quote Civvie 11:Ĭivvie: "I've been feeding you fast food and donuts all morning, you should be shitting hot tar, but not hungry." You can only stop when your health is full, and you can eat as fast as you can press the Use key. Big Eater: Eating food restores your health.Big Bad: While he is the "protagonist" of the series, the Dude also doubles as this in the first game and it's remake, given he commits mass murder due to his Ax-Crazy mental state.This is semi-averted in Postal 4: No Regerts, where the Dude now starts the game in his pajamas (a purple nightgown) after losing his old threads alongside his car.Zack Ward makes fun of him for it if you come by to thank him for his help fight him at the end of Friday in Paradise Lost. Badass Longcoat: The Dude is always seen with his long trenchcoat, though what color it is depends on the game (black in 2, brown in III).Badass Baritone: Rick Hunter's voice provides a very deep and threatening aura to him.Ax-Crazy: Mostly due to Videogame Cruelty Potential in the Postal series, though the Dude in the original Postal takes the cake for murdering people on his own volition and being genuinely mentally disturbed.It more or less gets cemented in Paradise Lost where they more or less are actively killing each other on sight. Awful Wedded Life: Postal 2 does not mince anything with regards to what he thinks of his love life and in Apocalypse Weekend, he notably notes his wife moving back to her mother's place was good news.While the Dude may be for most part a huge Jerkass, most of the groups he ends up fighting with are asshole victims ( including the police), some of them however such as the Survivalists in Paradise Lost are not necessarily evil groups and end up as the Dude's enemies only because he is Mis-blamed for attacking them. Anti-Hero: At his best, but him being a Nominal Hero or a Villain Protagonist depends on your playstyle. Plus, The Dude makes absolutely no references to the events of Postal 1 in Postal 2.
