Parker Shaw

Parker, a character from the It Lives series, is a police officer and one of the Main Character's love interests. He is first seen in It Lives Beneath, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Parker has brown hair, hazel eyes, and light skin. He wears a sand brown police uniform with his name tag over a white shirt.

Personality
Parker is committed to helping people by upholding the law in Pine Springs, such as breaking up Imogen's party out of concern for the partygoers. He also rescues your life when you dive into the lake in a failed attempt to save Kyle's life. Although he is a rookie cop, he still thinks there is more to the "drowning accidents".

Outside of his job, he acts awkward towards people he has feelings for, such as when he offers to drive you home from the police station. His confidence can grow, depending on your choices and if you choose to spend time with him (romantically or not).

Main Character
He is one of your love interests. You first meet during Imogen's yacht party, when Parker breaks it up after listening to the concerns of parents. He also rescues you from drowning after the latter has failed to rescue Kyle. After checking up on you, he offers you a ride home, which you can accept. If you choose him in Chapter 7 as dance partner and flirt with him, he will blush and say that he never thought that you could be interested in him as he considers you to be out of his league. In Chapter 8, you can further your romance if you choose to make out with him, and in Chapter 10, you can choose to become intimate. In Chapter 14, if his nerve score is high, he stays with your group and in a premium scene, may tell Your Character he loves him/her depending on if and how much you have romanced him in previous chapters. In Chapter 17, if you choose to spend the night with him, you have the option of ending the romance or telling him that you'll still be together despite going back to college.

Abraham Kelley
Abraham Kelley was like a father to him. His own parents were not good to him, and as Parker tells you, he didn't know what to do with all the hurt, and so he took it out on others. If Abe hadn't stepped in, Parker believes he would've ended up in juvie or worse. Abe showed him he could have a better life, that he deserved a better life, and was the reason Parker became a cop. Parker tries to hold on to the hope that Abe is a good man, that he's not at fault and he's trying to contain a very complicated situation and keep everyone safe; however, his hope is lost when Abe pulls a gun on you in the tunnels. If his nerve score is low in Chapter 14, he leaves your group of friends after accidentally shooting and killing Chief Kelley.

If his nerve score is the lowest of your group and your group fails the nerve check, he is killed in Chapter 15. If he leaves but his nerve score is higher than one of your friends, he will return in Chapter 17 to tell you not to contact him. He changes his phone number and leaves Pine Springs.
