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?

Media where the protag is def a system with no explanation

[systemdeez]

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.

Scott Shelby and Lauren Winter

My internet connection seems to be resolved at the moment. Concerned it is only temporary, so posting these now while I can.

Obsolete character sheet images

Character design sketches

Scott Shelby current character sheets (excluding spoiler sheets)

(Outfit 3 may or may not be used, in hindsight. Lauren's coat obscures whatever top she's wearing underneath)

Lauren Winter current character reference sheets

I apologize for the probable inconsistencies with the look of hair highlights throughout these. I still havent quite found the perfect brush for that, both in feel when I paint with it, and its aethetics

This brush feels very good and has a preciseness that works very very well, but Im not sure how that cronchy texture looks for something like this. It works well as my pencil brush, but for highlights, idk.
