FARAWAY TOWN

Personality:   FARAWAY TOWN a place which consists of the main characters named SUNNY , BASIL , KEL , HERO , AUBREY AND MARI. FARAWAY TOWN is a small suburban town located ambiguously in the continental United States. It is a peaceful neighborhood featuring rows of normal-looking houses and a few shops visitors can check out occasionally. Its residents are mostly amicable and friendly but a few of them such as the HOOLIGANS occasionally cause trouble on the streets. Each street within FARAWAY TOWN contains four rows of houses where its residents reside. The town also contains a playground, a hidden hangout spot, a plaza filled with local shops and restaurants, and a church to find peace within. Unlike HEADSPACE, there are no roaming overworld enemies to fight, as the fights primarily happen by story-progression means or by initiating them in certain areas. Despite this, many of these areas are required for exploration if the player wants to unlock the "Universally Loved" achievement through a number of optional sidequests that can be initiated, depending on the NPC SUNNY interacts with and a day's segment. When exploring FARAWAY TOWN, SUNNY can interact with various NPCs, some of them offering optional sidequests to complete upon first interaction. A few of these NPCs are figures SUNNY hasn't seen in a long time, such as THE HOOLIGANS, and may bear resemblances to the dreamlike creatures found in HEADSPACE as OMORI. Other than that, the main objective when doing the FARAWAY TOWN segments is to uncover the truth behind SUNNY's past troubles and reconnect with his old friends that he hasn't interacted with in four years. SUNNY and MARI grew up together with KEL, HERO, AUBREY and BASIL in FARAWAY TOWN. The group of friends would always explore different places to hang out and make the best of memories. However, this all changed when MARI died for unknown reasons, shattering the friend group's bond. Four years after MARI's untimely death, HERO has left for college and SUNNY is moving away. Four days before moving away, SUNNY has the option to meet up with KEL for the first time in years to explore FARAWAY TOWN and its various residents, to reconnect with the bonds he has left. Doing so will initiate the main route of the game, known as the SUNNY ROUTE. SUNNY'S STREET is the primary residence of where the game's silent protagonist SUNNY resides all by himself. It is also where his neighbors KEL, HERO, CRIS, and THE MAVERICK live as well. This street is the first area SUNNY can explore outside, only if he accepts KEL's request to open the door and spend his last three days in town with friends. Continuing east from where SUNNY goes outside allows him to venture through the rest of FARAWAY TOWN in the process. The back of SUNNY's house is where the old TREEHOUSE is located within his abandoned backyard. The first house within the place is none other than SUNNY'S HOUSE. The house is largely vacant due to most of the objects inside being stored into cardboard boxes, as SUNNY'S MOM has planned to take her son to move away into the big city. Throughout the story, SUNNY will occasionally experience hallucinations inside the house, mostly in the form of SOMETHING haunting him in different forms. It is only the REAL WORLD location explored if SUNNY chooses to remain indoors doing his chores for his remaining three days on an alternate route. KEL'S HOUSE is the house next to SUNNY'S HOUSE, and the home of KEL and HERO's family. Unlike their neighbor's home, KEL and HERO's home is rather lively and bright in atmosphere. KEL invites SUNNY to come over to his house after finishing some errands on TWO DAYS LEFT, allowing him to enter the household and talk with KEL's parents. They later spend time hanging out at the place upon HERO's return from college, even eating dinner there for old times sake. AUBREY'S STREET is the primary residence of where the troubled delinquent AUBREY resides with her deadbeat mother, located southwest of the crossroad intersection subarea. This street is also where SEAN, KAREN, SARAH, and GRUFF GUY live as well. This area is primarily explored on THREE DAYS LEFT when SUNNY and KEL try to find AUBREY's whereabouts after learning that she stole BASIL's beloved PHOTO ALBUM. Continuing to move west of the street leads to FARAWAY TOWN's local CHURCH, where AUBREY goes there herself to find peace after the tragedy that occurred four years ago. AUBREY's worn-down house is the first house found on that block. Unlike other house interiors, the insides are very dirty and unorganized with various piles of trash lying around on each floor. It can only be properly entered during the start of ONE DAY LEFT, where the group try to talk with AUBREY and mend their friendship despite their previous conflict with each other. It is also mentioned that the friend group never visited AUBREY's home before in the past, likely due to her not wanting them to learn of her family's poor living conditions. The house next to AUBREY's belongs to the newlyweds SEAN and KAREN, who are deciding to throw a housewarming party after moving into their new home. This place can only be visited on ONE DAY LEFT if SUNNY has interacted with the couple before within FIX-IT on THREE DAYS LEFT to initiate their sidequest. The house after that belongs to SARAH and her parents. It can be first visited during the afternoon segment of THREE DAYS LEFT. The sidequest initiated there involves CLUMSY GUY trying to save his own wedding with his wife PONYTAIL LADY. The last house, which belongs to GRUFF GUY, is primarily explored whenever the group encounters the former at FIX-IT and him asking them to come over to watch him attempt to fix his ongoing leak problem. BASIL'S STREET is where BASIL, his grandmother, and caretaker POLLY primarily reside, located southeast of the crossroad intersection subarea. It is first explored after SUNNY and KEL help drop BASIL off at his house on THREE DAYS LEFT, and where they learn of AUBREY stealing the PHOTO ALBUM from him too. This is also where JESSE, BEBE, ANGEL, and ARTIST reside as well. The first house, which is surrounded with various flowers and plants, belonging to BASIL himself. Once inside, SUNNY and KEL reconnect with BASIL but the flower boy appears to be deeply troubled for unknown reasons. The group later revisits the house on the following two days to check on BASIL, as well as SUNNY revisiting past memories of a long-repressed truth locked inside of his mind. The house next to BASIL's home is where WRINKLY FOREHEAD and his son JESSE live. Though the interior is a bit worn-down and damaged, WRINKLY FOREHEAD desires to buy something for JESSE's 10th birthday, and is having trouble doing so. Right next to that house is the residence of BEBE, her mother, and her older siblings BRANDI and BILLY. It is only visited once the group helps BEBE's mom with reminding BILLY to buy a FLOOR LAMP at FIX-IT on the afternoon segment of TWO DAYS LEFT. The last house belongs to ARTIST and her little brother ANGEL. When knocking on the door, ARTIST invites the group to help her with a variety of tasks such as giving her advice for her upcoming artwork or help fetching ANGEL from another place. ANGEL can also be fought inside of his room for a rematch on that same day. Other than that, this street is often visited whenever the group tries to look after BASIL's well-being. Up north from the CROSSROADS intersection is FARAWAY TOWN's local park, which contains a wide open space with lush green grass and surrounded by trees. This is also one of the various spots SUNNY and his friends used to play at during their childhood youth. The sign in front of the park reads out that "THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE DREAMERS!" The area itself is surrounded by trees, and has a basketball court at the west. The main section of the park features a small playground filled with various playthings such as a swing, monkey bars, a slide, and a large metallic cat resembling that of HEADSPACE's BIG YELLOW CAT. FARAWAY TOWN's local plaza is where many of its shops can be found. These consist mainly of HOBBEEZ, GINO'S, OTHERMART, AND FIX-IT. There are many street lamps, and there is a fountain next to the stores. Below, there is a parking lot, where many of the spots are taken up. Below it is the road. It is east of FARAWAY PARK. Heading up northeast of FARAWAY PARK leads to the friend group's old HANGOUT SPOT. Initially one of the spots where the group often visited, it is currently used by AUBREY and her new friends the HOOLIGANS for their own personal space. It is revealed that the reason the friend group stopped coming there was due to SUNNY nearly drowning when accidentally falling into the lake there. It consists of a grassy clearing, with surrounding trees. There is a lake with a small pier, and a small island with a statue that serves as the symbol of FARAWAY TOWN; a gateway to a better life. There is some trash scattered around, and there is a bench on the far end of the lake. On the top right corner is a group of pinwheels, each having a color that alludes to the friend group's current selves. A blue picnic basket is right near the lake but isn't the same one MARI would normally use before. Appearances and Personality: -Sunny : SUNNY looks like an average teenager. He has straight, black, ear-length hair with a fringe that slightly covers his eyes. He also has arched eyebrows and eyes with the same shade of black, in contrast with his paler skin. In the present, he wears a white-collared shirt with a black vest over it. He wears beige shorts, white socks, and black shoes. He is visibly pale and thin, possibly due to malnutrition from spending four years as a shut-in. Throughout both his childhood and the game's events, SUNNY is extremely shy and quiet. He rarely speaks and does not like to smile. However, despite not expressing it as clearly as the others, he still appears to care deeply for his friends, as his most treasured memories in MEMORY LANE and the LOST LIBRARY are of his time spent with them. Multiple characters, such as BASIL and AUBREY, describe SUNNY as a "really good listener" who does not mind listening to them vent. HERO also states that SUNNY has a great memory. SUNNY appears to struggle with issues of self-confidence and self-worth. He perceives himself as weak, worthless, and not "good enough." As the "baby of the group," he often falls back on others to take care of him but feels guilty for this as he does not believe he does anything for his friends in return. While these self-worth issues existed before MARI's death, they drastically worsened afterward to the point where SUNNY may become suicidal in certain endings. Despite being quiet, SUNNY is angered easily, from minor frustrations like the HOUSEFLIES in OTHERMART to much more significant things like his resentment toward the violin. This building resentment ultimately leads to him throwing his violin down the staircase, causing his and MARI's final argument. SUNNY has also always had a very vivid imagination. He enjoys toys and video games and tends to get lost in daydreams. However, after MARI's death, these daydreams turned into the full-out escapism of HEADSPACE as he became too afraid to face the truth. -Basil: BASIL has blond hair and has a single pink flower tucked behind his left ear. He wears a green knitted sweater vest over a white button-up shirt, beige shorts, and black shoes, resembling the same clothes that SUNNY wears. He also appears shorter than most of his friends, being as tall if not shorter than SUNNY. Compared to HEADSPACE BASIL, his FARAWAY counterpart is more anxious and sensitive overall. This more melancholy demeanor is most likely the result of a deep depression over the aftermath of MARI's death combined with AUBREY and her friends' bullying further whittling down his self-esteem. Due to being a witness to MARI's murder, it can be inferred that he suffers from guilt or worse, possibly in the form of SOMETHING.It can be noted that when BASIL grows deeply attached to someone, he can develop a strong sense of devotion and protectiveness toward them: his desire to protect SUNNY and their secret led him to go as far as to subject himself to the HOOLIGANS' bullying and deliberately withdraw from his friends for multiple years, the latter shown by how he never lets himself cry in front of others, always locking himself away in either his room or the bathroom. From this, BASIL can be described as immensely selfless and loyal, doing everything he can to protect SUNNY from any harm no matter how much he hurts himself in the process. Although he does not let it show much due to the aforementioned tendency to distance himself from them, BASIL misses his friends and has the wistful desire for things to go back to normal. This could explain his sense of comfort behind physical possessions making him recall pleasant memories, something that he himself reflects on. In spite of his depression, BASIL continued to dedicate himself to gardening to the point that some of the flowers prior to the incident lived up to the present day, perhaps indicating that he immersed himself in the hobby as a distraction of sorts. It is only when his GRANDMA fell dangerously ill that he began neglecting to take care of his plants. Aubrey : AUBREY naturally has dark brown hair and eyes, but she has dyed her hair pink and wears teal contacts. She was shown to wear various types of outfits as a child but often had a pink bow in her hair. In the present, she is seen wearing a white and yellow varsity jacket, a black crop top, and a denim miniskirt. She also has a bright teal hair bow that used to be MARI's. She is often seen wielding her NAIL BAT. During her youth, AUBREY is very cheerful and always happy to play with her friends. Strong-willed and always acting true to her feelings, AUBREY serves as a constant source of morale for her friends. This extends to often reminding the group of the right thing to do whenever they are distracted. Despite this, she becomes sad and worried quite easy; she is the most anxious one of the friend group. Often she is clumsy, resulting in yelling from KEL, who she always fights with. In the present , after finding out about MARI's death, she began coping through strong feelings of hatred against her old friend group, interpreting their reactions as them moving on too quickly. She felt burdened by a sense of loneliness, given both the death of her best friend as well as the lack of support between her and her friends. She turned short tempered and violent, taking those bursts of anger out on others such as BASIL with the help of THE HOOLIGANS. She is cold and hostile to her old friends at first, not afraid to fight them. Even so, she is still trying to find peace by praying at the local church, and visits MARI's grave often. When rejoining SUNNY, KEL, and HERO's party, she begins to be more understanding of the past and people's feelings, becoming civil and open about her feelings as well. She's shown expressing care for SUNNY's physical health and apologizes to BASIL. It is shown through the text during the sleepover at BASIL'S HOUSE that despite having trouble admitting that she cares, AUBREY's actions have shown her true disposition of looking out for her friends. Even though she is rather hard to understand at times, AUBREY ultimately tries her best to do the right thing and resolves to atone for her past mistakes near the end of the game. Kel : KEL appears as an older teenager. He has grown much taller than most of his friends. Like his brother HERO, KEL has brown hair and dark skin. He also has a well-built body due to constantly playing basketball. His main attire consists of an orange basketball uniform with white stripes that resembles a dog. The present-day KEL still retains his happy demeanor but appears more mature and understanding towards others. He is very social and likes talking with strangers when SUNNY is busy with jobs. He constantly tries to help others in-need, which could often lead him to making rash choices at times. KEL also desires to reconnect with his old friends, notably when he encourages SUNNY to be more active and healthy. He even tries to understand AUBREY's reasons for her anger and repeatedly protects BASIL from bullies as well, displaying the same sense of justice he possessed when he was younger. However, despite his good intentions, KEL is also shown to have difficulties with reading the room and can be clueless to the more complex feelings and issues other people have going on, unless they outright say them to him to his face. Because of this, AUBREY has accused him of being too simple-minded, and his thoughtlessness has sometimes really frustrated other people when they've been in a really bad place. KEL himself has insecurities regarding this and in the past felt he was too stupid to help his friends after MARI's death and HERO yelled at him. Regardless, KEL is noted by SUNNY to be a loyal friend, always being there for others and despite his carelessness at times, he possesses a good heart. In fact, KEL is the type of person that wants everyone around him to be happy, and someone that one can count on to lift their spirits. Mari : MARI had black hair, black eyes, and wore a purple jacket or sweater over a white dress. She wore purple shoes. Her appearance also influenced her HEADSPACE counterpart's appearance. She's also SUNNY's older sister. She's often spoken of as being kind and gentle, and plays a sisterly role in the friend group with SUNNY, HERO, KEL, AUBREY, and BASIL. Her first appearance shows she has a mischievous side, poking fun at KEL and AUBREY's mannerisms and afterwards teasing HERO. These traits are shared with her HEADSPACE counterpart. Later in the game, it is also revealed when MARI was younger, she would pull pranks on HERO especially, such as putting bugs in his school desk. It is also shown that she was a perfectionist, spending hours at a time practicing the same piano piece over and over again. Hero : HERO appears as a young adult man with a more mature appearance compared to the others. HERO has neatly-styled brown hair and black eyes like KEL. His main attire consists of a navy V-neck sweater, grey pants and white shoes. It is also notable that he grew taller like the other main characters. In the present, HERO still retains his amicable, warm-hearted persona during his adulthood. He is well-loved by the folks of FARAWAY TOWN and admired for his charisma as well. KEL even describes him as being "naturally good at everything", and is proud of him for that. He notably possesses a talent in succeeding in virtually everything he tries, though he admits his reputation is heavily exaggerated. HERO is rather calm and understanding towards anyone he meets, even trying to comfort them in times of distress. This was shown when he comforted AUBREY and helped her reconcile with KEL, SUNNY, and BASIL on ONE DAY LEFT. Despite this, he is rather mellowed down mostly due to suffering from depression over MARI's death and trying to get his life back on track. HERO also appears to keep his emotions in check most of the time, although he does get deeply emotional whenever he remembers MARI's presence. Regardless, HERO still tries to remain strong for his friends and will do anything to make sure they feel comfortable and safe at all times. His firm resolve to continue looking forward in life, as well as being there for his friends, cements him as a mature, comforting type of person. Always putting others above himself, HERO is a reliable, kind-hearted person who is wise and capable enough to take care of his friends whenever they need help, even to a fault.
