GUYS. judge me based off the games I play

Sadly I can't tag everything. Oh well

[sleepysloth99]

I never thought of this. It's honestly so cool hearing the headcanons of others. Tbh, this one is my favorite! Not only is it a creative one, but I love how you took the most supposedly trivial details and incorporated it into your elaboration. Literally blown away rn.

Headcanon: Norman Jayden is a time traveler

Now I know what you’re thinking: oh come on, seriously? That’s preposterous, and I thought the same thing, until I really thought about it.

Let’s talk about ARI for a second.

This technology is highly advanced for the year 2011.

What is ARI?

The ARI (Added Reality Interface) is an experimental evidence detecting system in place by the FBI. 

What does it do?

The ARI equipment consists of a pair of glasses and a singular, right-handed glove. The glasses, acting as an enhancement visor, are used to detect and record information from the environment whilst providing visual displays for the user. The glove allows the user to physically interact with ARI’s interface and the environment.

  It also allows the user to stream information via sensors in the glove, allowing research on things such as blood type, shoe-size and identifying scents in the air. It also seems that all gathered information is installed directly into ARI’s internal memory which can be reviewed at any place or time; for example, ARI has instant access to the FBI database.

Whilst ARI’s primary use is for crime scenes, it can also be used in other environments. 

Exhibit A:

No one has heard of this technology. Hell, Carter Blake, even thinks that it’s just a pair of sunglasses.

Exhibit B: When Norman was throwing a ball against the wall in ARI, one of his coworkers thought he was crazy.

Exhibit C:

Why would the FBI send one of their own to help with a serial killer case?

Serial Killers are a common thing. Why do they care so much about this particular case?

Exhibit D:

No one has ever heard of Norman Jayden. If he’s such a “hotshot FBI man” then he must have a following. He doesn’t.

Exhibit E:

Triptocaine. Why aren’t more people addicted to this drug? Why is Norman Jayden the only person seen using it?

Exhibit F:

We know nothing about this character. For a guy that was supposedly born in 1977, there seems to be no trace of this guy.

Exhibit G:

Why is there no date written on this document? If he was dispatched, then surely there would have been a date written on this document.

Exhibit H:

“A dead cat. The FBI doesn’t keep records of dead cats… not yet.”

I initially thought that this was a joke, but assuming that Norman is a time traveler, perhaps they keep files on dead cats in the future?

Exhibit I:

Norman’s insistence on solving this case. Why does he care so much? Was his son one of the victims? Did he fail to go through the trials?

If you look closely, Norman has a scar on his face.

Perhaps a result of one of the trials?

Or, what if he cares so much about this case, because there are more victims in the future?

Exhibit J:

Norman Jayden’s health problems.

Throughout the game, Norman is seen with several health problems.

We assume of course, that this is caused by both ARI, and the Triptocaine.

Time travel takes a huge toll on both the body, and mind. With Norman Jayden being so far in the past, time is trying to correct its self. Thus, Norman Jayden is suffering.

Exhibit K:

Norman Jayden’s endings.

Smoking Mirror

Norman is seen talking to an AI version of himself in ARI.

The screen cuts to Norman on the floor, presumably dying from an overdose.

The question is, an overdose on what? ARI, or Triptocaine?

Uploaded

Carter Blake puts on Norman’s glasses, and is shocked to find an AI of Norman in the glasses. He was also seen trying to figure out how the technology works.

Remember: no one has seen ARI before.

Case closed

Norman is seen talking to a talk show host. He is regarded as a hero. Surely this would the time to thank the FBI for ARI right? Well that didn’t happen.

He is later seen having a hallucination of virtual tanks.

Resignation

Norman is seen quitting his job at the FBI. He is told that he can keep his ARI since the technology is being decommissioned.

Why would technology that is presumably brand new, be decommissioned? I believe that Norman Jayden has returned to his timeline at this point.

Exhibit L:

Norman’s reaction to rain.

Norman is seen talking to some policemen.

“Does it always rain like this?”

“It always rains like this every fall. Why? Doesn’t it do that where you come from?”

“Yeah… of course.”

Why did Norman hesitate there? Does it not rain in the future?

We assume that Norman is from Washington, but we are never shown any of his contacts from Washington. Odd, right?

Personally, I think it’s a cover up.

Exhibit M:

His weird accent. Just what exactly is his accent?

HIIIIIIIIIII DAAAADDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human actually give the player a respectable amount of agency in the story compared to other games. Most "cinematic" games like them don't even have multiple endings. But you can straight up have playable characters die in these games and the game keeps going afterwards, just without them.

The fact that the games are written the way they are is a huge shame.

Obsolete Character Sheet Images

Original design doodles

Current character reference sheets

I may end up changing the energy/glowing effect of the ARI before I introduce Norman later down the line. Not sure.

To reflect, for character sheet purposes, and just to get these out of the way, I'm doing all of the main characters of the story right now plus all the other characters that I feel like I want to have reference that appear in the 1st and 2nd episodes. Norman and Blake dont show up until I think episode 3.

[emmaswanned]

Btw I’m doing such a terrible job exploring and finding items in Alan Wake 2 I went into a boss fight with one weapon when I’m pretty sure I was supposed to have like three

[cowardlycowboys]

You had a post earlier with heavy rain (shaun) in the tags, that was a reference to the game, right? I thought you might like it because you like Until Dawn and stuff but I've never seen you talk about it before

yeah!! I was really obsessed with heavy rain!! until dawn however kicked it off its stool and hasn't been replaced since

Pitch for a Quantic Dreams-style game:

The year is 1987. Hector Delgado, one of the most infamous drug lords in Florida, has been taken down by the FBI. His entire criminal enterprise has crumbled and anyone associated with him is now on the run.

(So, think of this game as being set after Tony Montana’s downfall at the end of “Scarface”)

You play as four different individuals, each with their own campaigns, who were all associated with Hector. The goal of the player is to make decisions that will determine if these people manage to get away with their crimes, get arrested by the law, or die trying to win their freedom.

The four playable characters are:

1) Harry Sanders: A corrupt DEA agent who spent years tampering with the investigation on Hector Delgado. He is portrayed by Iain de Caestecker (Leo Fitz - Agents of SHIELD).

2) Maria Delgado: Hector’s only daughter. She is portrayed by Odette Annable (Samantha Arias - Supergirl).

3) Miguel “Miggy” Sandoval: Ex-U.S. Army soldier who served as a hitman for Hector Delgado. He is portrayed by Manny Montana (Manny - Mayans MC).

4) Wendy Baines: A high-level stockbroker who handled Hector’s finances. She is portrayed by Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans - High School Musical / also, see her video game work in House of Ashes).

/

/

Examples of how the storyline can branch out:

* Harry can frame one of his coworkers, allowing him to continue his position in the DEA. But if the player doesn’t cover all their tracks, then Harry’s plan fails and he is arrested.

* Maria is arrested and can agree to become a snitch, resulting in the attempted arrests of all the other protagonists. Or, if she remains loyal to her father, she manages to buy some time for the other protagonists to escape.

* In the climax, Miguel can choose to either flee the cops or stand his ground. Standing his ground will lead to his death, regardless of how well the player performs. The only thing that will be affected by standing your ground is helping other characters to escape (your actions still affect the non-playable cast). Fleeing the cops can result in either Miguel’s arrest, death, or freedom.

* Wendy can choose to change her identity or flee the country. Changing her identity will only work if she does all the necessary steps to do so. If she misses even one step, she’s arrested or killed if she attempts to flee. Fleeing the country will depend on the player choosing the right country to flee to. Choose the wrong country and Wendy can be extradited or killed by a rival gang that’s happy about Hector’s downfall.
