ABOUT YOU: Hello! I'm already here with Vincent Smith (Silent Hill 3). I did have Kimie but her energy was too much. (laughs) I needed the energy of an amoeba and that is where this new character comes to help me.

CHARACTER: Henry Townshend of Silent Hill 4.
CHARACTER INFO: Henry's the protagonist of Silent Hill 4. He is fairly articulate in his thoughts but he has issues with conveying what he's thinking aloud. Honestly, he's just a very socially awkward person who lived quite well without any connections to anyone due to his awkwardness. He lived two years in an apartment building with people only knowing his name and face, and no other facts about him. As I mentioned, unlike Vincent, he has very low energy and tends to stare blankly at people before saying something. He does, however, care deeply for people and wants to protect them as best he can.

In his canon, he was locked in his room which became its own reality. He wasn't able to exit his apartment no matter what he did, but a hole manifested in his room and he was able to crawl out into different pocket worlds. These worlds were traps for the people brought there and Henry was meant to be a witness to their gruesome deaths. He was trying to figure out why everything was happening before he came to Etraya.

(Also, due to the manner in which he speaks, it's very unlikely he'll ever be able to explain that he's a Silent Hill protagonist unless asked specific questions. So, that's fun!)

Silent Hill does come with a lot of trigger warnings. Henry has a lot less since he's not part of a cult and is more of a victim of what is going on. He has a lot of information that he knows, but he has a very hard time explaining what he's thinking to others.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: May be embarrassing to say, but everything! Let's do everything! There really isn't anything that I'm not down for with Henry. Like he's willing to do whatever he can to help those that are around him, or really do any task that they ask as he has the backbone of an eclair. I am going to set up an open log for him sometime this week of him taking his apartment door off - so, yeah, hope to meet others that he can be awkward.

I think the main thing is... Henry doesn't dislike people. He cares about people, but his social awkwardness has made it difficult for him to get close to others. However, he is starting and wanting to come back to finding connections with others and looking out for them (as they would him).

I know I said I loved Vincent when you apped him, but did I also mention Silent Hill 4 is a favorite of mine?

[badfengshui]

Gasp. You did not.

But it's also a favorite of mine. I have a soft spot for Silent Hill 4. I was rewatching some LPs and feeling the great affection in my heart.

The man the LEGEND!

I just remembered that Hank can be used as a nickname for Henry. So. 🤝 Dunno if they’re both Henrys, but if Hank believes enough... He too can Henry.

Him taking his door off is so valid honestly. Who wants a repeat of that whole SH4 thing, y’know. All those pesky chains.

[badfengshui]

He too can be Henry!

Who wants to repeat that? He doesn't! It was scary and he can barely explain it to anyone! But he tries his best. TT_TT;
