Walter's Past, Present and Personality

[11121_assumption]

Due to the ambiguous nature of Silent Hill 4, a lot of Walter's history is left blank or is never fully explained, including key developments or moments that caused him to become who he is in the game. As such there's a lot of room for headcanons and debates over Walter's past and his character, drawing from hidden information found in the game, the soundtrack, other sources and simply personal preferences. As such this post simply clarifies a bit about how I see and play Walter.

I'll do my best to link sources and explain my reasonings as well. If you want to debate or question some of my choices, you're more than welcome to! My HMD page is right here for that sort of thing!
