Drifter

"An aimless wanderer, someone without a permanent home." -dr1ft3r, 10.18.2014
=== Quick Introduction ===
Drifter, also often stylized as "dr1ft3r" and "_dr1ft3r_", is a person of unknown origin that appeared in headspace on an unknown date in mid October of 2014 in the Traditional Headspaces generation. However, he and his beautiful vehicle began to coexist in every other generation, besides the Dixon Headspaces. Lots of conspiracies and theories on his identity have been curated by numerous different people and sources, but none of them have been confirmed. Some include that he could be Norman, the aged up Crack Kid, or an alter ego of one of the main protagonists. His identity is completely unknown, other than the fact that he is a country fan, enjoying old country music and classical country artists, along with horror and genres alike. The only time he spoke publicly was on October 18th, 2014, and he has not spoken since. His public statement was, "An aimless wanderer, someone without a permanent home.". It is unknown what the meaning of this statement was, and who he was referring to in it remains unknown. Fans in headspace have theorized that he was referring to himself, as one other fan had mentioned in a thread under a post created about it in a reddit dedicated to the mysterious user, that the statement was a quote from a dictionary, describing the meaning of his name/alias. This has resulted in the phenomenon becoming the most famous mystery of headspace, alongside the origin of Harold Dunkelburger. He has not noticed his newfound fame, according to NN (News: Now). As of October 18th, he is blissfully unaware of all of the people who are questioning his identity, along with his existence, flat out. Fans have theorized about his appearance ever since he rose to fame in late October of 2014, some theorizing that he is between 5'7-5'11, and some theorizing that he is over 6 feet. The general consensus seems to believe that he has brown hair, due to the man in his profile picture, which is a country singer and celebrity named Hank Williams, Junior. His profile pictures across all platforms on all known accounts are of the same man, and mostly the same image. Some fans theorize that he looks the exact same as, or is Hank, but generally, they all just believe they look similar. There is lots of room for error in these theories, but we won't know until he hopefully confirms some of them.
He owns a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster, which, unmodified, costs $452,000, alone. The stunning aventador was last seen on November 1st in New York City, and has yet to have it's unbridled beauty be witnessed again. The car is white, and it's been reposted hundreds of times in just his subreddit alone within 3 days. Nobody has seen him enter or exit the car, but it was identified as his car after a fan uploaded to reddit that his license plate read "DR1FT3R", along with an image of it. It was confirmed as his after the user uploaded an image from inside of a store of his shoes along with the caption, "LOL just realized my car is visible. don't track me down ☠️", the same beautiful white aventador parked outside in the background, visible through the glass.

=== Media ===
These are all of Drifter's known social media accounts, and popular fan accounts for him, along with the most popular subreddit(s). Please note that the user may have more under different usernames. We, nor most of his fan communities condone posting them if they are found.
==== r/dr1ft3r ====
r/dr1ft3r is a reddit community, dedicated to "decoding" and explaining the mysterious user's posts, news regarding different aspects about him, fun facts, questions, and other things alike. It currently has a little over 24,000 members as of October 31st, and is swiftly climbing to reddit's most popular communities, alongside only a few other subreddits ranking higher than itself. It is not an official subreddit, but more of an unofficial fan-made subreddit, as the subject is unaware of the existence of the subreddit. However, u/dr1ft3r does exist on Reddit, but it is unknown as to whether it is really him or not, as it is a blank page with his profile picture, display name, username, and it is only in very few subreddits, most of which being about country music and similar topics. The user has yet to make a post, or even comment on a post. Lots of fans have debated whether it is him or just a long-lived fan that snatched the username before him. The general consensus believes that it is in fact him, as the join date links back to before he was hugely popular. In fact, the join date was the night that his instagram account was created.
==== dr1ft3r on Instagram ====
dr1ft3r's Instagram account was created on October 18th, the same date of which his first post was created. He currently has 8 posts, all of which have a very long caption, a quote from an unknown source, or just no caption at all. Most of these posts are images of scenery from games, created by an unknown company. The name of the game has yet to be discovered, but it does have a small cult following. All of the scenery posts appear to be from the same game, around the same area, most of them picturing a covered bridge on a hill, with a creek running underneath of it. Some users have theorized that dr1ft3r may be the creator of the game, seeing as he has posted comments referencing various unknown facts and parts the game pictured in the post of which the comment was left under. 
On Instagram, he does provide pronouns in the headline section of his account, which possibly means that he is a male, seeing as the pronouns list, "he/him/his". They are located right next to his display name, and above his bio, to the right. His display name has been glitched out since he created the account, therefore nobody knows his real name, unless it is genuinely, and simply just "Drifter".
dr1ft3r's Instagram bio has a simplistic quote, created by himself, "an aimless wanderer, someone without a permanent home.", which references his name/alias.
==== _dr1ft3r_ on Twitter ====
_dr1ft3r_'s account on Twitter was created on October 22nd, 2014, and has not made a single post. His bio matches that of his instagram account, "an aimless wanderer, someone without a permanent home.". Fans yet again theorize that this isn't an official account, but just a mere fan that snatched the username before the original user could, due to the lack of posts and activity on the account, whereas other fans believe that this must be him, as the accounts both emit the same behaviors: inactivity, uncertainty, vagueness, etc. Nobody will know unless he confirms it's status of ownership. 
==== _dr1ft3r_ on Musical.ly ====
_dr1ft3r_ is an account on Musical.ly which was created on the same date that dr1ft3r joined Instagram, leading fans to believe that it is him, as it would've been too early for a fan to steal the legendary username. It is completely blank, other than the bio, which is the exact same as all of his other accounts, and his pronouns, which are the same as his Instagram account.

=== Fan Theories ===
Fans all around the world have created custom theories, mostly supported by evidence from his accounts on various platforms, none of which having been confirmed by dr1ft3r. Some of the most popular ones are about his physical appearance, his personality type, and things similar to the previously mentioned.
==== Norman Theory ====
The Norman Theory was coined by a fan on October 28th, 2014. It states that it could possibly be Norman Reedus, an ex-protagonist that was dating the famous Damien Reedus, having took his last name as an alias to confuse the man. The theory isn't well supported, and the only points are that the HW theory states that he matched the (very vague) fan created profile, stating that he is between 5'7 and 5'11, and somewhere between 150-180 pounds, which Norman matches, very barely. Norman being brown haired, 5'11, and 180 pounds. 
===== Theory confirmed? =====
No, the theory has been proven to be false by both of the involved parties.
==== Grown Crack Kid theory ====
The Grown Crack Kid theory was coined by Norman himself, who got into the fanbase after seeing the Norman theory, leading fans to think that the premise of the theory is even less correct than they believed it to be previously, as nobody would be in their own fanbase. Norman has theorized that, seeing as the Crack Kid has grown up, and nobody besides his other father has seen him grown, it could be him, as his account left instagram shortly before the mysterious account was created. He also stated that the mysterious user types similar to "somebody he used to know", but also stated that he is uncomfortable saying who, as it is "highly unlikely" that it is them, and that he is almost certain that the user isn't. Both dr1ft3r and the creator of the theory, Norman, have proven this to be false.
===== Theory confirmed? =====
No, the theory has been proven to be false by both of the involved parties.
==== Norman Reedus' theory ====
As stated in the previously listed theory, the Grown Crack Kid theory, Norman stated that the mysterious user types similar to "somebody he used to know", but also stated that he is uncomfortable saying who, as it is "highly unlikely" that it is them, and that he is almost certain that the user isn't. dr1ft3r recently responded to this on November 2nd, at 5:38 PM, replying to his comment on a popular reddit post in the r/dr1ft3r community, "well done norman". Norman has not been online on the website since, but has gone live on instagram, stating that he is "very shocked", but glad that the user is okay, following his statement with an apology to the user for his "behavior" and the potential reveal of his identity. Fans discovered that dr1ft3r was present in the live, but did not respond to anything being said. 
===== Theory confirmed? =====
Yes, the theory has been confirmed by both involved parties. Norman Reedus and dr1ft3r both spoke on the topic, though dr1ft3r spoke very briefly -- in fact, barely at all, he did confirm it.
