The Postal Dude

The Postal Dude, Jr. is the main protagonist from the Postal games.

A red-headed, trenchcoated man whose life is filled with violence, insanity and the bizarre shenanigans of the world around him. Never a dull moment for him, it's up to the player to decide how he acts.

Personality
The Dude appears as calm and easy-going, but can be sociopathic and cynical when pushed to the edge. He often states he doesn't like video games after killing people, however he is seen supporting them, since at one point he sets up a petition to "Make Whiny Congressmen Play Violent Video Games."

Abilities
The dude is an ax crazy man that uses various weapons to cause mayhem such as a shovel, picket sign, badgersaw, list goes on. His only attacking move solely with his body is a single kick.

The Dude is able to use weapons that center around this aspect, like a flamethrower and molotovs in Postal 1, and in 2, he gets a Can of Stynx, gasoline, matches, Napalm and gasoline Piss, and a Napalm Launcher.

The Dude's wide array of explosive weapons are sticks of dynamite, Grenades, Jihad Grenades, Krotchy Grenades, Flash Grenades, Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, Cat Launchers, and Napalm Launchers.

Trivia

 * The Postal Dude is ranked in the top 10 most brutal video game characters ever made. As such, he is very controversial, while in return RWS replies that they did not create the Dude as a violent person in the first place, and leave players free to decide if he will be good or evil.


 * The Postal Dude's age has never been revealed, though the POSTAL concepts from 1996 mentions that he is 27 years old.
 * Postal Dude had longer hair in POSTAL 1.
 * In the POSTAL 2 beta shown at E3 2002, the Postal Dude had no glasses, exposing his reddish eyes, and he was much taller and thin. Later depictions (retail POSTAL 2 onwards) of the Dude gave him green eyes.
 * In the POSTAL games, he is called the "Postal Dude" because he is the representative character for the series. In the film, he is called the "Postal Dude" by the people of Paradise because they pinned him as going postal at the Little Germany festival and causing a massacre, when in fact Al Qaeda were largely responsible for the death toll.
