Sebastian Solace  Handy Man  The Saboteur  Z-13

I still have yet to understand everything about PRESSURE's worldbuilding and lore, everything written down is my interpretation of the character without knowing everything about the game

why do i always like the super overrated ones, man. just kidding, they're popular for a reason and i think we should all use that mindset when it comes to picking the 'overrated' favs. Sebastian Solace is the face of PRESSURE, voiced by Gianni, he's the shopkeeper you meet when you traverse to the halfway point of the game. He trades the data assets you collect by going room to room, treating it as monetary value, in turn for supplies he scavanges throughout the facility. He uses these assets to sell to a rival organization to the company you are forcibly working for. It's implied this is his way of making a plan to escape the facility he's in hiding in with this trade.

Sebastian Solace was wrongfully deemed guilty of murdering 9 individuals at the age of 21 in 2015, thus sending him to be sentenced to death, before he could be executed however Urbanshade paid the prison he was held in to take Sebastian in for DNA experimentation. The DNA experimentation was to give humans the ability to breathe under water by giving them gills. He was injected with DNA strands froma blue whale, a sea snake, a great white shark, a female anglerfish, a silver spinyfin, a mantis shrimp, and a unknown classified entity that has yet to be uncovered. Sebastian was given the ability to breathe underwater, and thus having Urbanshade have their employees undergo the experimentation to be given gills. Unlike Sebastian however, the side effects of the bodily changes had more refinement via other experimentation and then was proceedurley given to all Urbanshade employees. Thus resulting in them not looking the way that he does. Sebastian could have had these bodily effects reversed in a period of time, but due to his prisoner status they decided it wasn't neccessary. He was then assigned to underwater equipment maintenance due to his inability to have human traits to test on.

Honestly, i didn't see myself liking this character. I thought he was very groundbreaking as a concept though. A fully voice acted uniquely modeled character that not only assists you VIA the shop, but he also shows you documents of monsters you die to in game. He IS the face of PRESSURE. And they have a right in showing him everywhere too, he's cool. I don't think I resonated with him much though until he showed his document. I think it is incredibly interesting that he chooses to show you this vulnerable piece of information about himself to the player in trade for information. You really learn so much about the facility and even himself as a person when handed this document. He is Urbanshades greatest threat, and he has his claws on this document written about him. He has gained so much power over this company that has unfairly taken the rest of his life and to think how the owner of urbanshade feels knowing how much of his corporeal nightmare has slipped from his hands. Post friendly-fire update Sebastian is much more meaner now, which i've heard mixed opinions about but in all honesty I do actually like it. It makes his writing make more sense. He was an innocent man turned violent and cruel on his environment. Even if he is nice sometimes and is a helpful guide on avoiding entities, he is not your ally. He does not want you to succeed. Sebastian wants to diverge your goal of obtaining The Blacksite's power source that you are forced to get for as long as possible, until he can find a way to escape. It's conflicting how he wants the player, me, to fail and is willing to make it harder for me if possible, but also in a sense i'm rooting for him too. It's fun, I like it a lot. I like him a lot. His development as a character is so limited and is very rough with the game's narrative limitations and all of the decisions the devs want to write for him. So I like to interpret a lot for him outside of his existence as a game mechanic. There's so much and yet so little about him that I really cannot help myself but draw and headcanon for him. He's great.
