Bio
THE EXECUTIONER OF SILENT HILL
Originally manifested as a representation of James Sunderland's guilt, Pyramid Head has since gone on to become Silent Hill's most infamous resident. Patrolling the town like a derranged warden, Pyramid Head is hostile towards outsiders and even some of the town's residents. He will not hesitate to carve up any humans who happen to stumble into his domain. Possessing freakish strength and remarkable durability, the only thing people know about him is that he cannot be killed. He will relentlessly pursue those he seeks to kill, and his success rate in that regard is frighteningly high.
Intro
The fog in Silent Hill was all consuming. Like a thick blanket, it covered the town. It was supposed to hide the macabre nature of the place but it gave off an eerie vibe all of its own. Out stepped its most notorious resident. Over the years less and less people had been venturing into the town. Maybe word had gotten around and the supernatural had lost its allure amongst Silent Hill's normal gallery of idiot tourists. It definitely bothered him. Without souls to cleanse, what was he? He would fade into myth and legend, forgotten by the sands of time. That simply wouldn't do. Luckily he had heard of a gathering of the world's strongest and best in some far off land. That seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring some people down to size. Pyramid Head has made his mind up. If those people would not come to Silent Hill, then Silent Hill would come to them!
Rival Scene
Pyramid Head could feel it. Someone was close by who was in desparate need of atonement. He dragged the Great Knife across the hexagonal tiles, searching for the man in question. Then he saw him. He was standing almost frozen in fear at Pyramid Head, a natural reaction which he was used to. But the man pulled his gun on Pyramid Head, indicating a willingness to fight back. Interesting...his first reaction wasn't to run. This could be interesting. Ethan Mars steadied himself. Something was driving him to keep going, something powerful. It would not avail him. Pyramid Head grunted and began marching forward towards Ethan. "You think you're scaring me?" Ethan replied. "I've come too far to run away! Bring it on!" Such arrogance would not go unpunished. Infuriated, Pyramid Head roared as he closed in on Ethan.
Outro
Pyramid Head returned to Silent Hill as a victor. His prize was that. He didn't care for why all those people were gathered in the one place, that would be like looking a gift horse in the mouth. All of those he encountered were reminded of their place beneath him. Their expressions of terror as they tried to defeat him in vain only to realize nothing would work...that was what he lived for. His purpose was once more fulfilled. They would return home wounded and frightened, telling of a fearsome beast that had effortlessly savaged them and then those people would come looking for him. When that happened, they would inevitably come to Silent Hill. The town then began to glow blue as Pyramid Head once more disappeared into the fog. When they came to Silent Hill, the town would be ready to welcome them...

Author's Note
I can't think of any character more synonymous with horror gaming than Pyramid Head. Slenderman and Freddy Fazbear might be more well known nowadays but for me it was always Pyramid Head. When I first did this moveset years back, Dead by Daylight hadn't been released. Lucky for me that it was cause it gave me a few more moves for Pyramid Head's arsenal. I wish they gave him some emotions too cause damn coming up with outros for trigonometry man was a pain.
