BACKSTORY

Outrun is completely clean, no drugs, no illegal stuff, just an upstanding citizen. But his friend Charon always ran with the wrong people. Despite this they are good friends and Charon would tell Outrun everything about what he was doing, even if Outrun disapproved. Mentions one day that Charon was doing business with the gangs because they were franky taking over the city and he needed ro get in their good graces. Later that night Outrun hears a bashing on his door, opens it, and Charon burst in, blood everywhere, guts and intestines coming out, barely gets the words "hide", before Outrun hears rushing footsteps. Outrun tries to pick up Charon, but Charon pleads with him to please just hide. Outrun, hearing the footsteps get closer does so and hides in a closet. Cowering and peering through a crack, he watches as several gang members come in and start hacking at him with meat cleavers. This event fractures his psyche, splitting him into three personalities. You got like 3 outruns Work week outrun: good guy, friendly Weekend out: just Charon, or well his memory of him, drugs, sex, sin Phone call outrun: unhinged, un relenting, brutal. He uses a set of different masks to hide/assume a different personality, separating Outrun from the slaughtering he commits. Outrun deals with the loss by hunting down the gang members that killed Charon. He occasionally hears a payphone ringing, deafeningly so, beckoning him to pick up. When he does answer, someone on the other end tells him a gang location so he Dons a mask, letting "It" take control. While "It" slaughters, Outrun won't remember a thing. Charon, Outrun's dead friend appears differently for each psyche. Normal outrun thinks charon is on one of his "business trips", drug/ party outrun thinks charon is partying next to him, and murder outrun sees him as a guardian angel that disapears as soon as he appears.
