![]() In the game files of the original POSTAL, the voice files of Rick Hunter are labelled as "Demon". In the Steam Trading Card Artwork, Profile Backgrounds, and the original POSTAL's "about" section on RWS' website, he uses his POSTAL 2 appearance with a plain blue T-shirt, longer and more unkempt hair, and fingerless gloves. ![]() In the photograph, the Postal Dude differs greatly from his later appearances, being a troubled young man with a mop haircut wielding an AK-47. The only clear image found of him is in concept art and a photograph that appeared in POSTAL's advertising campaign. This is thrown further upon the completion of the Super Delivery campaign, where the Co-Op Dudes (red, blue, yellow, and green coats) lie dead at the grave in that campaign's version of "The End".īy default, he wears a red trench coat in the original disk version of the game and a black coat in later re-releases and as the default color in Redux. His true identity is thrown into further chaos as of POSTAL Redux, which reveals the existence of multiple Postal Dudes four of which band together to break the Campaign/Rampage Dude out of the asylum in the Co-op ending. The Postal Dude is never seen directly, only being seen as the player's sprite in gameplay and in the surreal images that play before each level, although his image is heavily distorted. Redux's Rampage ending implies that his condition is beginning to worsen, seemingly locked in an "endless struggle against himself". By the end, he has a breakdown, collapses, and is contained in a mental asylum for study after either attempting a massacre at an elementary school (original) or witnessing what appears to be his own funeral (Redux). The manual ( War Journal in Redux), 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. 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. He wears his trademark leather trench coat and sunglasses at all times, though he can wear various outfits that will affect how the people of Paradise view him and will affect the HUD with unique designs as well. He often states he doesn't like video games after killing people, however he is seen supporting them, since at one point he sets up a petition to "Make Whiney Congressmen Play Violent Video Games." He appears as calm and easy-going, but can be sociopathic and cynical when pushed to the edge. The Dude is antisocial with a hate towards the absurdity of his town of Paradise.
