And you're looking for canon characters, not OCs?

No, these NPCs are original characters.
Silent Hill games typically had other NPCs to interact with and they typically helped to move the plot forward.

I've always thought isolation was scarier.

It is, but Silent Hill games typically offer a FEW humans to interact with. They provide a sense of brief relief from wandering around in stifling darkness and fog with... things roaming about.
Then again, this won't exactly be isolation either, since there'll be a small group of R Pers.

Cutting this thread. If people didn't sign up for the other one, I doubt this one will fly, judging by the lack of posts.

Sweet. I'll take any help I can get with ideas.
I won't spoil too much about what I have so far, some of it is revealed later.
But the basic gist of the NPCs I have so far include:
1) A meek, sickly, frail man with a problem involving substance abuse. 2) A paranoid, rigid, brooding, and world-weary man who wants to leave his past behind.
I basically want NP Cs that can be interacted with. They need to have interesting personas and VERY clear problems/vices/anxieties/etc. The relevance of these problems/vices/anxieties/etc become evident a bit into the game.
