* James Sunderland is a young man drawn to Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his wife, who had died three years earlier. Near the end of James' strange odyssey, he comes to realize the truth about his wifes death: that she did not die three years earlier of a fatal illness, but in fact died fairly recently when he euthanized her. There has even been speculation that her body is in the car, probably in the trunk as to remain out of view. This would lend to the theory that the 'In Water' ending is the true ending; James came, with the body, to their 'special place' to commit suicide alongside his wife in a place full of memories. The implication is that he suffered a nervous breakdown or psychotic break after killing his wife and blocked the three years of her illness from his memory. James' ultimate fate is dependent on which ending is achieved, based on the player's actions during the course of the game. In one ending, James comes to accept what he did to Mary, forgives himself and leaves Silent Hill, possibly taking Laura as his adopted daughter as Mary wanted ('Leave'). In another ending, he comes to terms with his loss of Mary by beginning a relationship with Maria (see below.) In yet another ending, James cannot live with his guilt and commits suicide ('In Water'). And in yet another ending, James decides to resurrect Mary using the dark supernatural powers of Silent Hill ('Rebirth'). Once the previous four endings are completed, a fifth, comedic, ending can be unlocked where James finds out that all the scenario was the work of a dog in the observation tower in the Hotel. In some special editions of the game, there is a sixth ending where James is confronted by Harry Mason and a group of UFO's who abduct him. While there is no single correct ending, both the actions of James, himself, and the details of Silent Hill 4 seem to point that James (and Mary) never come back from their trip to the town.



* Mary Sheperd-Sunderland was James' late wife; however, unlike the three years that he claims she's been gone, it's much more likely that she has only been dead for a week or so. She had long been suffering from a terminal illness, but died instead when James smothered her with a pillow after he couldn't stand to watch her suffer anymore. Her disease is never mentioned by name, but it confined her to bed for three years and possibly disfigured her physically, as well as made her verbally abusive to those around her from the agony it kept her in. In the game, James guilt takes Marys form as Maria, haunting him relentlessly.



* Angela Orosco is a young woman of about nineteen who James meets in Silent Hill. She states that she is searching for her mother. Very little explicit information is revealed about her, save that she was very dependent on her mother for comfort and that her father, Thomas, repeatedly raped and otherwise abused her. Clues throughout the game imply that Angelas mother convinced her that she deserved to be raped, and that eventually the poor woman stabbed her father to death with a kitchen knife and ran away. When James meets her, Angela seems unaware of her past, but still retains her extreme fear of physical contact. At the end of the game it seems Angela is full of guilt over her actions, unable to forgive or even justify her actions against an abusive household. Her personal demons are manifested as fires burning everywhere (possibly representing suicidal tendencies) and the Abstract Daddy monster James encounters.



* Eddie Dombrowski is an unstable young man James meets in town. As the story progresses, James learns that Eddie, after a lifetime of ridicule, ran away from his hometown after killing a dog and shooting the dog's owner in the leg. While exploring the town, James finds a number of bodies killed execution-style, some or all of which may have been killed by Eddie. In the end, Eddie confronts James, threatening to kill him after James states that he too finds Eddie's actions repugnant. James guns Eddie down in self-defense. Eddie's demons in the town manifested as everything -- not just people, but everything -- laughing at or otherwise making fun of him, which only catered to and increased his homicidal tendencies as he was permitted to shoot anything and everything in sight.



* Laura is a smug little girl James encounters in town several times. She claims that she was in the hospital at the same time as Mary, recently, but James refuses to believe her. Eventually, James discovers that Laura was a close friend of his dead wife's, and that Laura felt James never cared about and even hated Mary. It is implied and widely believed that Laura, being an innocent child, does not see any of the monsters the other characters encounter, and leaves Silent Hill, either with or without James depending on the ending.



* Maria is a seductive young woman that bears a remarkable resemblance to James late wife. She tempts and clings to James and as the story progresses, James sees Maria repeatedly killed. In the end, James recognizes Maria for what she really is: an embodiment of lust and selfish desire, simply created to quell his feelings of guilt over what he did to Mary. Depending on the acquired ending, James either guns her down after she becomes a monster or escapes Silent Hill with her. This possible ending suggests that she will come down with the same disease that Mary had and James will inflict the same fate upon Maria as he did his wife Mary. In the sub-scenario "Born From a Wish", which is playable in either the PS2 Greatest Hits or the XBox versions of the game, players control Maria, who has only existed for a few minutes at the beginning and as such, has no idea what is going on. However, events in the scenario show the player how she transitions from being a soulless creation of the town, to the product of James' desires (hence the title "Born From a Wish") that will ultimately serve her role in James' crucible.



Sorry, что начинаю на английском, но мне ближе язык оригинала, т.е. на котором игра вышла, и который точнее передаёт чувства и атмосферу...

[Heather's Lover]

Алиса, молодец!!! Инфа супер! Мне, кстати, тоже на английском ближе

[Sunderlend]

А примите в свои ряды фаната Марии? Просто чё-то нет клуба "Фанатов Марии", вот я и решил, что может в клуб "Фанатов Silent Hill 2" вступить.
