Yapping about Doorman lore...
So I've noticed due to the Deadlock community being new and not a whooooole lot of details concerning the lore being out yet, we've all been filling in gaps with our own interpretations.
(which is new to me because I'm always in 20+ year old fandoms with very few of these kind of situations.)
And because I especially like the Doorman and have been scouring the AO3 tag like a crazy person, i've become particularly interested in the interpretations with his relationship to the Baroness in general. I'm even more interested if and when we're going to get an answer about this whole aspect of his character, but a few of the common ones I tend to see are:
- The Doorman created the Baroness and the building acts as an extension of his power. Usually paired with him knowing everything that happens in the whole of the hotel at all times, though that's normally a common element no matter what for obvious reasons.
- The Baroness is its own entity that the Doorman had attached himself to. I've read a few fics where he can even talk to the building itself, which I think is fun.
- The Baroness is a normal hotel (aside from being in the Deadlock universe and being canonically haunted), and Doorman started working there at its inception. Probably not an *as* plausible conclusion, but I really like when people choose this one and write in a Baroness owner that writes Doorman's checks.
I just kinda want to know more headcanons and what people either like the most or just believe is canon. I personally think option one is the most likely candidate that will be revealed as more lore is created, but y'know, we dunno yet!
There are probably more interpretations at this point as well, which is kinda why i'm posting this out of curiosity for what everyone else thinks ☺️
