Silent Hill Suppliment - MrGone's Character Sheets

maps, and supplies, such as bandages and ammunition,
though rarely in large quantities.
Guardians
Certain creatures, powerful and dangerous, seem to
be especially designated to serve some higher purpose.
These creatures are known as Guardians. At least a
handful are human, or mostly human, but they are
unmistakably tied to Silent Hill's unholy power. Some
Guardians are more intricate, intelligent monsters. They
are unflagging stalkers or defenders, and only certain
types of weapons can deal them harm. Even if they seem
to be slain, they will return again, only to continue their
purposes.
Accounts point to a number of different beings that
fall under this category. One seems to be a man in his
early 20's, one who attempts to look like a young
teenager, making himself look quite awkward in the
process. This childish appearance belies a monstrous
rage, one that will send him into a murderous rampage at
the right provocation. Others speak of a famous
therapist, one who once toured the self-help circuit, who
has since become a merciless revealer of dark secrets.
Consensus among travelers seems to indicate that
Guardians are relatively few in number, which is a very
good thing.
The Otherside
Every town and city has a dark side, an underneath
that people only see when they know where to look.
Silent Hill shares this quality, but instead of remaining
hidden, the dark side shows itself in a very literal way.
Sometimes, it a black cloud rolls out, digging its
polluting tendrils into the town. Other times, the traveler
is shunted into a living nightmare.
In either case, the world around the traveler decays,
and almost bleeds. The first to change is almost always
the walls. Replacing bricks and paint is rusted, wire
mesh, with blood oozing down. Following that is the
floor, which is replaced with a thin grating, or rusted,
riveted steel plates, suspending the traveler above a
bottomless dark. Instead of normal items, this nightmare
is decorated by mutilated bodies hung from meat-hooks
and viscera.
While all these accouterments do not manifest in
every location, the grating seems to be consistent. Much
like the monsters, however, the town twists itself
especially for each traveler. The specifics of the
transformation also change depending on the location.
Should an atrocity have been committed nearby, the
Otherside will echo it.
The Otherside is not inescapable, and many thank
God for that. Sometimes, just as it arrived, it will recede,
the world returning to normal with the darkness' passing.
Travelers are not always so lucky. The Otherside
sometimes seems to require a task to be complete before
it will release its grip. Such tasks can be anything from
slaying a powerful monster to finding a certain key or
opening a certain entrance.
The Otherside seems to cover all of Silent Hill, even
the 'normal' roads of the town, which are, instead
replaced with the thin grating. While dwelling in the
Otherside, darkness is prevalent. Few sources of light
exist there, so any light-producing equipment will prove
indispensable in the Otherside.
Besides the profound darkness, the corrupting touch
of the Otherside has other, far-reaching consequences.
Temporal distortions are worst in the Otherside, and time
ceases to have any meaning. Space, too, malfunctions.
Travelers can travel for hours in the Otherside, take an
elevator up to the place the started, even though that
should be impossible.
The Otherside behaves by rules that are
unknowable, and travelers are forced through such a
place. They can only hurry through and pray that their
stay won't be long.
The Siren
Certain reports of the dealings in the town indicate
that the transition to the Otherside is punctuated by the
sound of siren, which is detectable no matter where in
town a person may be. This siren is beneficial, as it gives
travelers a chance to brace for the worse. Siren sounds
seem to be another variable in the town, so not all are
fortunate enough to benefit from it.
Unplaces
Otherside manifestations include much more than
just warped versions of existing environments. It also
contains places that do not exist in 'normal' reality.
Buildings that should have only 3 floors have 4 instead.
A building that has only one basement will grow a second
in the Otherside.
Such locations are called 'Unplaces' because they do
not correspond to any real-world space. Often, the
monstrous, hidden history of a place is exposed in its
Unplace. While Unplaces usually exist as extensions to
buildings in 'normal' Silent Hill, sometimes an entire
structure may exist only as an Unplace. One traveler
reported that he entered an old-time prison underneath the
Toluca County Historical society. Despite the building's
entire destruction in the early 1900's, he claims to have
explored the prison at length, which means that it was
surely an Unplace.
Entering an Unplace can be done through a number
of means, and certain actions will open the way, even if
the Otherside is not currently manifested.
