What are your head cannons?
Mine is that you don't play as the killer or survivor, you play as the entity spec hating the match.
Think about it. The killer has a red stain because the entity is watching through their eyes. But the survivor doesn't, because you are in third person.

Dwight is a pretty cool guy

That Demo is actually a very nice and respectful person.

The trapper is the misunderstood hero of this game. He secretly understands the entity better than any other killer and is doing whatever he can to hinder its grow in power.

My personal head-canon is that the Entity tortures the Killer's in different ways if they don't perform well during the trials.
Killers like Wraith, Nurse, Trapper: Tortured physically, caused pain. Perhaps tortured mentally as well- The Nurse see's her patients, Trapper his Father, Wraith see's Azarov.
Killer's like Ghostface and The Legion however... I think Ghosty get's taunted, see's newspaper articles of his capture. He's (probably) extremely narcissistic, that would be far better torture than physical pain.
The Legion, whichever member failed the Entity, is kept from the group for a set amount of time.
The Blight is deprived of his fix, or just tortured.
Deathslinger is put back into jail, taunted by the men he hates from the outside.
Oni has to watch as the Samurai are dishonored, taunted and called "Oni Yamaoka".
But it also can't torture a few of them. Michael, Pyramid Head, Demo - just to name a few. It can't control any of them. Probably Fredster as well.
Pig *might* see Jigsaw, disappointed in her for ruining his game.
Just to name a few.

And how is Trapper the hero? I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm genuinely curious where you got that idea from.

Nea is believed to be the entity by many players... even the other survivors in the game believe this, as well as certain killers.
The truth is that she was planned to have been drawn into the entity’s realm by the highest authority in the universe, who created and rules over all the billions of galaxies within time and all the atmosphere and space outside of time.
Nea’s mission is unknown... even to herself, and until it’s completed, she cannot be destroyed.

The Spine Chill cat is actually really friendly

The Plague doesn't deserve to be in the Entity's Realm.

He is fighting the entity any chance he has, even if it comes at the cost of the entity inflicting massive amounts of pain on himm.
Like in the DBD mobile lore for killers

Nea is secretly the entity in disguise. She has many forms but she uses the Nea one to provide the survivors with false hope. It also explains why most Nea’s tbag and are toxic to the killers, it’s because she knows that their is nothing they can do to realistically hurt her. Also I would like to believe that Oni and Spirit after discovering their relation to one another have begun being family members.

The entity is Vigo and made the tapes to bring hope to the survivors
4 -
That Quentin is the most powerful survivor as he has summoned the entity through his hatred for Freddy and the entity likes him the most
3 -
That Myers is only there because he wants to be, he is the only Killer that can flat out ignore the Entity's rules and murder Survivors. Every other Killer needs to perform a task to please the Entity first. Myers doesn't.
The Entity is a parasite of the Mind Flayer.

Aha, there's a couple . _.
Dwight is one of the scariest people imaginable due to his ability to manipulate everyone around him.
Wraith deserved so much better than what he got and I'm pretty sure he gets tortured with the view of his village being burned when he does badly in a trial.
David and Dwight sneak off into the woods after the trial to cuddle with each other because despite their differences (even if it isn't romantic) they desperately crave affection- David just being needy and Dwight having been touch starved for years- and for some reason it's those two.
Laurie's hair is genuine straw.

Hi, me again, not here to argue lmao
I remember reading that Evan originally resisted against the entity for a large amount of time, and was tortured and caused great physical grievance, this may be displayed by the metal jutting out of back in his base skin! I like to head canon he is glad when the survivors escape!

PH was created through James' desire for punishment (I've also read hidden homoerotic tendencies, which explains a lot lmaoo) within the confines of SH. PHs only goal and desire is to lay out retribution, pain and punishment. It's his gut instinct.
Going off of this, one could imagine the Entity might deprive him of primal desires like violence and sexual release/frustration (which he exhibits a couple of times in SH2 cutscenes).
PH is mentally, probably more animal instinct than anything, so much like a dog, he could be conditioned to learn that survivors escaping is bad and he will he punished accordingly!!

Welp thanks for my new head canon this is really smart!

The killers told The Twins that The Blight is a drug dealer to keep them away from him and avoid experimentation

It's hard to garner exactly where PH really stands. He's only there as kind of like... A mutual agreement with the Entity. That's the canon explanation for his ability to ignore the Entity's rules (his cages instead of hooks), similar to how Demo works. It's only there because it wants to be.
I'm kind of the opinion that Pyramid Head really shouldn't be there, as it has no purpose to exist because James has more than likely already been punished, which means that *probably...
The Pyramid Head('s) shown in SH2 have killed themselves. They served their purpose, James has realized his guilt. Pyramid Head is James' Id, it has no purpose to exist without him. I'm pretty sure that if Pyramid Head had a face, it'd be a twisted horrific version of James' face.
But back to the main point, he's only there as part of an agreement with the Entity and I don't think it can punish him.
"There was an unspoken agreement in that moment. The billowing cloud was an invitation to duty and sadism, and Pyramid Head, taking a step into The Fog, accepted his obligation once more."
I'd be really interested to see how the Entity interacts with the beings it can't control, like Mikey and PH. Does it just kind of... Begrudgingly keep them? Lore-Wise, they probably perform pretty well, but the Entity has been shown to like control, just by the existence of the game in general.

(Warning, phat walls of text with some spoilers, I labelled the biggest spoiler but if you dont want SH3 in particular spoiled don't read this)
It does seem very out of place, though I dont think they could have chosen a better SH killer or survivor! There was a thread on the forums talking about lore explanation wise, especially with Cheryl (PHAT SPOILER) being the vessel to carry Silent Hill's god. Even as a remnant after throwing it up, she still contains the heart of silent hill, its effects and power chasing her for the rest of her life. The final phone call before she appears in the fog is theorised to be a final message from Silent Hill! It's likely, in a lore sense, Cheryl was begrudgingly given up by SH to the Entity to put out feelers, as with its power SH is likely a multidimensional being/power in and of itself
SH certainly does have some influence in the realm, with Cheryl being the only survivor able to call upon the entity (repressed alliance).
Now, with the fact that the effects and remnants of SH have followed Cheryl, or Heather, her whole life. With this in mind, and SHs likely influence within the Entity's realm, one might argue that SH forcibly manifested Pyramid Head even after having served his purpose, roaming Silent Hill to perform violent acts, likely in anger or annoyance at Heather's defiance, seeing as, even though the Entity's realm is timeless, they were likely taken in after the events of SH3, seeing as PH would have no other reason to exist/manifest until after SH3.
(And yes, if he has a face, its James in some form, for sure)
Back on track, if SH instead manifested PH as it (likely being a multidimensional being) felt or saw the Entity's calling before it came, to put out more feelers, additionally, the punishment PH would exact within the realm would have a chance to fuel SH as a being or power. If we ever were to see more SH characters or even legendary skins this could be seen as SH sending out more and more influence into the realm.
I think the Entity assumes it has some control over PH, and likely does, being, probably, one of SH's more minor manifestations (based on his multiple iterations and appearances). But the limit of interaction it has is probably keeping it away from desires or violence, operating of SH's power.
Of course this whole idea in itself is absolutely ######### if the Entity has the ability to basically pull the plug on external influences and shut it off, though perhaps there would be weakness when it's looking for more survivors and/or killers in other dimensions.
(All of that aside, yes I'd love to see how the Entity interacts with all the different killers in punishment and reward, I want to know particularly his interactions with the demogorgon, being mostly a beast, and Evan (who originally heavily resisted aiding the entity).)

Admittedly, I don't know about Silent Hill 3 as much as I do SH2. I haven't even played any of them, regrettably, I haven't been super into the idea until recent years. And at first glance, the SH lore is a little... Bloated and confusing, but that's the case with a lot of games with a lot of lore and history. If the rumours of a Silent Hill 1 remake for PS5 are true, I'll have to make sure and get it (Even if I don't always think remakes are good for the industry.)
But, everything you said does make some sense considering the games' combined lore. I've always wondered why James wasn't the survivor instead (I mean, from a deal point it makes sense - They wanted something from the first three games. Midwich from SH1, PH from SH2 and Cheryl from SH3) but from a lore point, I think it's because James is kind of a bad person. And by kind of, I mean a really bad one. I mean, all of SH2 is about him coming into terms with what he's done, so...
I suppose another Head-Canon I have is that the Entity needs good people to be the Survivor's. It feeds off all the survivor's emotions, but the games put a focus on hope. Someone like James wouldn't have any hope left. A terrible person wouldn't have the emotions the Entity needs to feed.
Demogorgon is probably the biggest mystery to me, considering it just a beast, with somewhat of a hive mind with the Mind Flayer. I don't know how the Entity could possibly punish it when it's also there more than likely due to an agreement between two greater beings.
Evan isn't the only one who resisted at first. It's theorized that Wraith and Nurse did too, along with a few others probably. Wraith seemed to be a good man, and Nurse's blink sound is literally her screaming in pain from the blink, so I'm pretty sure they had to be tortured. You'd think Doc got tortured too, considering his appearance, but nope. Dude did that too himself, (far as I understand).
Compared to the rest of the Killer's, Doc is pretty... One dimensional.

Yeah, James is the guy who DCs when he's downed first.
Yeah exactly! Without any hope (which Cheryl has had to rely on for her whole life, including previous reincarnations, which you will come to better terms with if you do get the so rumoured remaster) the entity would have nothing to feed off of or enjoy, seeing as this is basically for sport in its eyes (if you can say that it has eyes).
Yeah more than likely Demopup has some sort of organised calling.
I knew about Wraith (im just a massive Evan fanboy so he would be my first choice), but the Nurse one is a shocker to me, guess i'm never playing nurse again :(( I feel bad!
Yeah Herman's just a massive jackass... rip killers with interesting lore but he built different.
1 -
I'd honestly rather a new game, but I'm pretty sure it won't happen.
Exactly. Cheryl must be quite the snack for the Entity, considering all the ######### she's gone through. Same with Laurie, Quentin... Ash.
I'm just kind of imagining the Entity waving it's spider, tentacle thing at Demo like a disappointed dog owner as Punishment.
Oh, yeah. Blinking *tears* her apart, as far as I understand. She and Wraith are the ones tied together the most, (Other than Kazan and Rin, being distant relatives) since they're the only two that operate in the "Spirit World", one of the realms within the Entity. It's why they can be lightburned. It makes me wonder if Wraith is in pain when Cloaked. Funny how the Spirit doesn't interact with the Spirit World at all.
Clown is kind of the same way. Honestly, even Legion's backstory is more boring to me than someone like Huntress, or Blight (who has the best lore in the game imo)
1 -
I have to agree, I feel like a lot of characters backstories were kinda cut and dry, more so on the killer side than survivor!
I'd love to know more snippets of information about characters like this, maybe we should put it in the next developer q&a?!
Yeah you'd think Spirit would, it'd be cool to get a lightburn on her as well, it would also add a way to actually mindgame spirit, depending on the spirit's skill level!

The observer is the protagonist of DBD, and the matches we play are memories of the trials that he's experiencing.

It's mainly the earlier characters. The new characters have fantastic writing. It's night and day to look at something like the twins or Blight, then look at something like "Machete man with daddy issues". The archives really deliberate on lore now. Trapper's archive gave him a lot more character.
As far as I understand (All this info is from the Wiki, so it might be wrong now) Spirit ACTUALLY operates in the Ethereal Plane.
1 -
Yeah, suppose its expected though, the older killers eventually will become the relics of the past wont they, much like poor Evan's kit that they r e f u s e to update
and cool, I thought it was too fancy not to be its own thing
0 -
Honestly, a few of them already have imo. Oni is just Myers but way better. I'm just hoping that they EVENTUALLY buff poor Trapper eventually.
Yeah, a few of the killers have unique "sub-realms". Freddy has the Dream World, Demo and the Upside Down.
1 -
Mmm yeah, I never thought about Oni and Myers' similarities
I wish we had more interaction with the upside down as part of demogorgon gameplay, it may have ended up making him a lot more interesting and probably more viable
