Once he returns home, the Dude informs his wife the Bitch that he's 'on some kind of vacation', so she decides to get him to do more things for her for the rest of the week. After cashing his check, the Postal Dude goes to Lucky Ganesh to get some milk. However, if the Dude breaks into the money bin to get the money from there, an alarm will sound and he will have his first clash against the Police. Just as the Postal Dude is cashing his check, a group of bank robbers arrives to commit a stick-up. After getting his paycheck, the Dude then proceeds to go to cash the check in the Fee of America bank. This and a video game-protest mob by the Parents for Decency began his second reign of terror. When the Postal Dude goes to the RWS headquarters on Monday, he is informed by Vince Desi that he's fired. He lives in a shabby trailer in a small neighborhood with his pet Champ the dog and unnamed wife, who continuously gives him orders while forcing the Dude to do various annoying errands. In POSTAL 2, he has moved out from his original home to the town of Paradise after accepting a job at the local video game developer. The Postal Dude in POSTAL 2, right before blowing himself up Hunter had also re-recorded all of the Dude's lines. This continued in POSTAL Redux, with the Postal Dude's grunts now being replaced with ones recorded by Rick Hunter. In a 2007 interview on the now-defunct Postal Nation, it was explained as reinventing the Dude's character between the two games, and a natural decision to have Hunter voice the role in full. When POSTAL 2 came around, the devs simply decided to keep Rick Hunter as the voice of the Postal Dude. The grunts and moans were separate voiceovers done by Vince Desi. The reason for this is that the voice heard in the game is not the Postal Dude verbally, but an inner one, implying either unhinged thoughts, demonic possession, or both. In the game files of the original POSTAL, the voice files of Rick Hunter are labelled as 'Demon'. In the Steam Trading Card Artwork, Profile Backgrounds, and the original POSTAL's 'about' section on RWS' website, he uses his POSTAL 2 appearance with a plain blue T-shirt, longer and more unkempt hair, and fingerless gloves. In the photograph, the Postal Dude differs greatly from his later appearances, being a troubled young man with a mop haircut wielding an AK-47.

The only clear image found of him is in concept art and a photograph that appeared in POSTAL's advertising campaign. This is thrown further upon the completion of the Super Delivery campaign, where the Co-Op Dudes (red, blue, yellow, and green coats) lie dead at the grave in that campaign's version of 'The End'.īy default, he wears a red trench coat in the original disk version of the game and a black coat in later re-releases and as the default color in Redux. His true identity is thrown into further chaos as of POSTAL Redux, which reveals the existence of multiple Postal Dudes four of which band together to break the Campaign/Rampage Dude out of the Asylum in the Co-op ending. The Postal Dude is never seen directly, only being seen as the player's sprite in gameplay and in the surreal images that play before each level, although his image is heavily distorted. Redux's Rampage ending implies that his condition is beginning to worsen, seemingly locked in an 'endless struggle against himself'.

By the end, he has a breakdown, collapses, and is contained in a mental asylum after either attempting a school shooting (original) or gatecrashing what appears to be his own funeral (Redux). The manual, however, does mention that the Dude believes his town to be under some sort of madness outbreak and that it's up to him to stop it, as well as the in-game diary of the Dude ranting about 'cleansing' the Earth. Here, very little is known of the Dude, only that he's been evicted from his home (there's a moving van parked in front of his home) and has been driven insane as a result, but no real back story evolves during the game. He wears his trademark leather trench coat and sunglasses at all times, though he can wear various outfits that will affect how the people of Paradise view him and will affect the HUD with unique designs as well.

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 Whiney Congressmen Play Violent Video Games.' The Dude appears as calm and easy-going, but can be sociopathic and cynical when pushed to the edge.
