Fans of Silent Hill may compare him to Harry Mason. Ethan is also implied to have psychic powers like Lucas, down to them both suffering from a Psychic Link developed with the main antagonist. Both are the central protagonists, are being pursued by the police for crimes they didn't commit, and can develop a romance with the female protagonist. Afterwards his hair is more unkempt and he's grown a Beard of Sorrow. Expository Hairstyle Change: In the first two chapters, his hair is neatly slicked back and he's clean-shaven. He isn't seen drinking, but he starts keeping beer in the house after Jason's death, and several bottles are seen in the motel room he kills himself in in the "Origami Blues" ending. #MADISON HEAVY RAIN TRIAL#
Drives Like Crazy: The Bear trial requires Ethan to drive at 60 MPH on a rain-slicked freeway on the wrong side of the road. He either hangs himself in his jail cell after being falsely convicted, shoots himself in a run-down motel room, or similarly offs himself in front of Shaun's grave. Driven to Suicide: Any ending where Shaun dies. It unfortunately doesn't save him and sends Ethan into a six month coma. Diving Save: Tries this in the prologue when he sees Jason about to get hit by a car. Disappeared Dad: If he is killed by the police at the warehouse, he becomes this to Shaun. The game occasionally calls the player out on it: for example, the door leading to freedom in the Butterfly trial is labeled "Coward", and the player is also awarded an identically-named trophy if they choose not to do the trial. Dirty Coward: If he chooses not to complete the trials. Dies Wide Open: Two of his possible deaths have him die this way. Cluster F-Bomb: He has a few moments of this, but a particularly notable one happens if you don't do all the trials, which leaves Ethan without the complete address to where Shaun's being held.Įthan: Finding Shaun is the only thing that matters. Clawing at Own Throat: Does this in "Lexington Station" after the crowded station causes his agoraphobia to flare up. In the latter, there's no option for him to choose not to go to the drug dealer's apartment he can only choose whether or not to go through with killing him at the end. The only exceptions are the first and fourth trials. But Thou Must!: Ethan is usually given the option to walk away from a trial as soon as he learns what it entails. Big "NO!": Yells out one of these in "The Mall" while running into the street to push Jason out of the way of a car. Big Damn Heroes: It's possible for him to save Madison in "The Old Warehouse" by shooting Scott in the back just as he corners her. Big Damn Kiss: With Madison in "On the Loose." It's up to the player if they go through with it. Beware the Nice Ones: He can be played as this depending on the choices the player makes. He goes clean-shaven again in his good endings. Beard of Sorrow: After Jason's death, he puts down the shaving cream. Possibly subverted, if one takes the explanation behind Ethan's blackouts to mean he does have supernatural abilities. He's a human with no supernatural powers, unlike Lucas Kane and Jodie Holmes, who are supernaturally gifted humans, and Kara, Markus and Connor, who are androids. 
Badass Normal: Compared to the other Quantic Dream protagonists.Badass Bookworm: The badass part comes later, but Ethan is a former architect with no fighting experience and is still no slouch when it comes to finding his son.He can give one to Scott if he is alone at the warehouse and chooses not to kill him.Įthan: No one's going to stop me from saving my son.
Badass Baritone: In the Japanese dub, Ethan's voice is much deeper, but it still fits the bill for his fatherly determination.He can still manage to save his son from the Origami Killer, possibly singlehandedly. Action Survivor: He's a former architect and has never used a gun prior to the game's events.If all the QTEs are performed correctly, Ethan can be surprisingly capable, whether navigating a maze of electrical capacitors or outrunning a SWAT team. Action Dad: Overlaps with Action Survivor and Papa Wolf.His life takes a second turn when Shaun goes missing he soon discovers that Shaun may become the Origami Killer's next victim, and is forced to go through five trials sent to him by the killer: danger, suffering, brutal suffering, murder and sacrifice.
