tell me about your knock knock headcanons!
OHHHH YES IT’S TIME
So, it takes place in a place known as the Black Zone, a region in southwestern Siberia that’s been corrupted by eldritch energies. The Soviet Union tried to weaponize the phenomenon. That was the Program. Needless to say, it didn’t go well.
After the fall of the USSR, an international team of supernatural scientists was sent in to find out why the Black Zone was expanding and how it could be brought under control.
They requested aid which never came. The officials deemed it would hurt their reputations to admit they hadn’t prepared enough the first time.
Except two of the scientists had a child together.
HE’S the Lodger: Edgar Lockwood. His parents were from the UK and he sounds like a sort of calculating Salad Fingers.
His bloodline of paranormal researchers was blessed centuries ago by fae beings aaaand he ADAPTED due to being born in the Black Zone.
He’s got a slow-acting weakness to bright sunlight, extra teeth, freaky shadow powers, a healing factor that strengthens in the dark, and a resistance or immunity to most organic toxins. Also, due to the lack of large game and the abundance of scavengable Soviet arms, he is an IMPECCABLE shot. Also, due to the bacteria in a human’s mouth ALSO being full of corruption, he effectively has a venomous bite.
His goal after escaping is to use his abilities to study Black Zone corruption and bring it under control… and reveal the truth about what happened to his international “family”.
He is also genuinely sweet and kind despite being so creepy. Due to his fucked up biology, Edgar’s here for a good time, not a long time, he just has a strange definition of what a “good time” is.
A lot of what you see in the game is Edgar reliving memories from others who died in the Black Zone. AND THE GIRL! She’s a dryad and her name is Spring/Vesna… she has little twig antlers and she’s baby. They’re both like the older AND younger sibling back and forth in an infinite loop because Spring is chronologically older, but developmentally younger.
Sorry I am RAMBLING—
