Background / History
Pure Black built his audience through highly skilled action-game footage and strategy videos. During his Black Flag streams, he records material for his uploads; his fluid, focused Batman gameplay and no-damage boss clear earned him a reputation as a “Raptor-style” guide creator. 161 162
His viewers also knew him for the contrast between that action-game competence and his timid reactions to horror. His past fear while playing Resident Evil became a recurring joke among his cilicili audience, who pushed him to try Wu Wei’s new horror releases. 161 162
Following his Outlast and Silent Hill PT broadcasts, Pure Black’s explosive reactions and willingness to continue despite panic made him the leading streamer among C Station’s “Three Cowards.” 207
Personality
Pure Black is confident, analytical, and composed when playing action games, where he readily narrates his decisions and trusts his mechanical ability. He often recognizes level-design cues quickly, such as identifying alternate routes or interpreting the placement of hiding cabinets as a warning of nearby enemies. 161 163 167
In horror games, however, his bravado repeatedly collapses into screaming, frantic commentary, and overcautious movement. He is self-aware about his fear and frequently uses humor, self-encouragement, or avoidance to cope—yet his curiosity and determination keep him moving forward even after severe scares. 168 179 184 243

Story Role / Major Arcs
*Outlast* Broadcast
At his viewers’ request, Pure Black buys and begins the Platinum Studio horror game initially introduced as Escape. He plays as reporter Miles, entering Jushan Mental Hospital with only a DV camera, batteries, and a folder. The discovery that he has no weapons—and can only “hide, escape, or die”—immediately changes his approach. 162 163
Inside the hospital, he endures environmental scares, a wheelchair-patient ambush, and pursuit by a lunatic wielding a nail-studded club. His panic becomes a major attraction of the stream, but he still progresses by restoring power and repeatedly escaping enemies. 166 167 168
*Silent Hill PT* Broadcast
After finishing Outlast, Pure Black claims there is “nothing left to fear” and begins streaming Silent Hill PT. His initial attempt to appear brave quickly gives way to anxiety as he explores the looping corridor and encounters its increasingly unnatural changes. 178 179 182
He eventually confronts Lisa, survives the bathroom sequence involving the crying infant, and lowers his headphone volume to make the experience bearable. Even after ignoring the phone’s intended sequence and triggering the warning against looking back too late, he continues the demo. 183 184 185
*Resident Evil 7* Broadcast
Before starting the Resident Evil 7 demo, Pure Black brings a throat lozenge in anticipation of screaming himself hoarse again. He initially reacts with fear to its oppressive house, puzzles, cockroaches, and sound design, including being startled by his own shadow. 208 209
While controlling Ethan, he finds Mia and briefly feels safer with a companion, only for her unstable behavior and disappearance to renew his anxiety. Later encounters with Mia—including her knife attack and the chainsaw severing Ethan’s left hand—leave him terrified and desperate. 241 242 245 248
As the story progresses and Ethan gains weapons, Pure Black’s fear shifts into investment in Mia’s rescue and the truth behind Eveline. He reaches the final confrontation, aids Ethan’s fight against Eveline, and praises the completed game for portraying “the courage of an ordinary husband willing to go through fire and water for his wife.” 252 254 256
