== Personality ==
== Personality ==
Sebastian can be described as snarky, unpredictable, and violent at times. He has grown to deeply hate Urbanshade due to their experiments on him, thus, actively seeks to harm the company. He also often mocks the player after their death, indicating his indifference towards the prisoners that he meets. Sebastianonly treats those who help him with respect, as shown through his various interactions.

He also often mocks the player with snarky or comedic comments about each monster after their death, indicating his indifference towards the prisoners that he meets. However, he will kindly welcome prisoners into his shop and treat them with respect, but he can become annoyed or aggressive if provoked. Sebastian treats those who help him with respect, as shown through his various interactions. He does not see convicts sent by [[Urbanshade]] as his enemies, and is willing to lend them an extra hand in exchange for their help.
<!--T:4-->
Sebastian runs a [[Shops#Sebastian's Shop|makeshift shop]] in which he sells [[Items|items and supplies]] to prisoners in exchange for any [[Currency#Research|research]] that they are carrying. Sebastian kindly welcomes prisoners into his shop and treats them with respect, but he can become annoyed or aggressive if agitated. Sebastian does not see convicts sent by [[Urbanshade]] as his enemies, and is willing to lend them an extra hand in exchange for their help.
== Background ==
In 2013, Sebastian was falsely charged with the murder of 9 people, being sentenced to execution. Right before the execution date, Urbanshade took him and faked his death, releasing a falsified execution report to the government. He was then imprisoned as an LR-P rank prisoner in the [[Hadal Blacksite]].
<!--T:5-->
Sebastian unwillingly supplies items to the player through [[Shops#Dead Drops|Dead Drops]], taking [[Currency#Kroner|kroner]] in exchange for items to be left at the [[Hadal Blacksite|Submarine Dock]]. It is assumed that this exchange was set up by a third party as Sebastian is incredibly reluctant to deliver the items, gaining no benefit from the exchange and often making comments over the nearby radio about how the player is lazy and ungrateful.
In early 2015, Sebastian was chosen for an experiment designed to give humans fish-like gills in order to allow them to breathe underwater, experimenting with various DNA samples of deep sea creatures. While the experiment succeeded in giving him gills, it mutated his appearance beyond recognition. Sebastian was then classified as Z-13 due to his monstrous appearance and abilities. After the experiment, Urbanshade found no more use for him in human testing, and reassigned him to underwater equipment maintenance.
<!--T:6-->
Sebastian can also be seen in front of the player upon death, providing them information by allowing them to view one of these [[Documents]]. He will often reply with snarky or comedic comments about each monster after the player's death. Interestingly, Sebastian has been forbidden from showing [[Mr. Lopee|Mr. Lopee’s]] document.
Seven months later,<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/974102561554587738/1171542785225138176/1190130313754574878 "7 months later, an investigation reveals that he was innocent"] YourFriendZeal on Discord, December 2023</ref> Sebastian was found to be not guilty of the murders he was accused of. This information was not shared with Sebastian, nor was he released from his imprisonment. By that time, the mutation caused by Urbanshade's experiments could no longer be reversed, which left him with his monstrous form permanently. Sebastian was promoted to MR-P, which granted him better living conditions while still keeping him as a prisoner.

=== Flash Beacon ===
{{Further|Flash Beacon}}
After the 'Friendly Fire' update, flashing Sebastian with the Flash Beacon will cause him to grab the player, warn them, and then crush the Flash Beacon before throwing them to the ground, dealing 50 damage. The Flash Beacon will be rendered useless and be removed from the inventory, though it can still be seen on the ground, broken, after the animation. Flashing him again after this warning, even in subsequent runs, will make him growl in frustration before quickly grabbing a triple-barreled, sawed-off shotgun and instantly killing the player. Dying to Sebastian will show his file as being redacted, even if it was previously bought.

Latest revision as of 01:18, 26 August 2024
Sebastian Solace, also known as Z-13, Handy Man, or The Saboteur is a supporting character in Pressure, acting as an ally to the player as they venture through the Hadal Blacksite.
Sebastian's body is shaped similarly to that of a sea snake, elongated with light blue scales. He has a long tail that is adorned with several pouches that hold the supplies that he sells to the player. At the end of his body is a large tail fin. He has three arms, one of which is attached to his left side and is wrapped in a bloodied bandage. His hands are humanoid, yet only have four fingers and are claw-like. Sebastian's face retains a humanoid appearance with fish-like features, such as an anglerfish esca on his forehead, fin-like appendages in place of ears, a fish-like mouth, and a third eye on his right side. He has black, short, wavy hair.
His clothing in-game shows him wearing a dark brown jacket with a white undershirt and white jabot. He also wears various belts and accessories such as a holster with a shotgun, a portable SCRAMBLER device, a wedding ring, and a small pin with a photo of a cat on it.
Personality
Sebastian can be described as snarky, unpredictable, and violent at times. He has grown to deeply hate Urbanshade due to their experiments on him, thus, actively seeks to harm the company. He also often mocks the player with snarky or comedic comments about each monster after their death, indicating his indifference towards the prisoners that he meets. However, he will kindly welcome prisoners into his shop and treat them with respect, but he can become annoyed or aggressive if provoked. Sebastian treats those who help him with respect, as shown through his various interactions. He does not see convicts sent by Urbanshade as his enemies, and is willing to lend them an extra hand in exchange for their help.
Background
In 2013, Sebastian was falsely charged with the murder of 9 people, being sentenced to execution. Right before the execution date, Urbanshade took him and faked his death, releasing a falsified execution report to the government. He was then imprisoned as an LR-P rank prisoner in the Hadal Blacksite.
In early 2015, Sebastian was chosen for an experiment designed to give humans fish-like gills in order to allow them to breathe underwater, experimenting with various DNA samples of deep sea creatures. While the experiment succeeded in giving him gills, it mutated his appearance beyond recognition. Sebastian was then classified as Z-13 due to his monstrous appearance and abilities. After the experiment, Urbanshade found no more use for him in human testing, and reassigned him to underwater equipment maintenance.
Seven months later,[3] Sebastian was found to be not guilty of the murders he was accused of. This information was not shared with Sebastian, nor was he released from his imprisonment. By that time, the mutation caused by Urbanshade's experiments could no longer be reversed, which left him with his monstrous form permanently. Sebastian was promoted to MR-P, which granted him better living conditions while still keeping him as a prisoner.
Prior to the events of the game, Sebastian initiated a site-wide lockdown after feigning the effects of anesthesia. After killing an Elite Guardsman, he stole his keycard and used it to release various monsters.
Sebastian manages both his own makeshift shop and the Pre-Round Shop. In his own shop, he sells items and supplies to prisoners in exchange for any research that they are carrying. Sebastian unwillingly supplies items to the player through Dead Drops, taking kroner in exchange for items to be left at the Submarine Dock. Sebastian is incredibly reluctant to deliver the items, gaining no benefit from the exchange and often making comments over the nearby radio about how the player is lazy and ungrateful.
After the 'Friendly Fire' update, flashing Sebastian with the Flash Beacon will cause him to grab the player, warn them, and then crush the Flash Beacon before throwing them to the ground, dealing 50 damage. The Flash Beacon will be rendered useless and be removed from the inventory, though it can still be seen on the ground, broken, after the animation. Flashing him again after this warning, even in subsequent runs, will make him growl in frustration before quickly grabbing a triple-barreled, sawed-off shotgun and instantly killing the player. Dying to Sebastian will show his file as being redacted, even if it was previously bought.
