I completely agree with your opinion of the beggining of the game.

Well, I think that it might be a girl if the out of breath sounds are anything to go by. As for why he/she is there, I'd like to think it committed a crime of some sort, and went over the fence, into the woods, to try to lose it's persuers. Found a peace of paper on a tree and was all like, "who's bangin' on a drum out here?" little does our genderly awkward friend know, she just pulled down a poster for a band whose drummer had just started a session. The Slender 5. Much like the Jackson 5, but with less violence involved.

I always thought that the character (i believe that identity is up to interpretation) is some kind of supernatural hunter.

He/She grew tired of the way Slendy was threatening humanity, and was out to sort him out once and for all; little did he/she know it was a death sentence.

Ummm yea that could work I guess.

If that was the case, wouldn't the hunter person have some sort of weapon instead of walking around with just a flashlight?

I laugh every single time the dude takes a step.He sounds like he's stepping on freaking Doritos.

Your opinion is exactly what I was thinking too
