Sebastian Solace

Appearance:

Sebastian’s body is shaped similarly to that of a sea snake, in that it is elongated with blue scales. At the end of his body is a large tail fin. Sebastian’s skin is a light blue. His torso is humanoid, with two larger arms and one smaller arm on his left side. Sebastian’s hands are humanoid, although he only has four fingers with claw-like ends. Sebastian’s face retains a humanoid face (which is mostly always smiling) with fish-like features, such as an anglerfish bulb on his forehead, fin-like appendages on his head, sharp teeth, a fish-like mouth, and a third eye on his right side. He also has a gold/yellow ring on his pinkie finger (lower left arm). Sebastian is seen in-game wearing a dark brown jacket with a white undershirt and a white cravat. He also wears various belts and accessories such as a holster with a gun, a portable security scrambling device, a bandage around his smallest arm, and a small pin with a photo of a cat on it. Sebastian’s tail has several pouches that hold the supplies that he sells to the player.

Personality:

Sebastian runs a makeshift shop in which he sells items and supplies to prisoners in exchange for any research that they are carrying. He also supplies items to the player through Dead Drops, requesting kroner in exchange for items to be left at the Submarine Dock. Sebastian does not see convicts sent by Urbanshade as his enemies and is willing to help them in exchange for their help. The more times you exit and enter his shop, the more annoyed he gets, eventually kicking you out. Sebastian can also be seen while the player is viewing Documents, being the one who shows the documents to the player. He will often reply with snarky or comedic comments about each monster. Interestingly, Sebastian has been forbidden from showing Mr. Lopee’s document. As of the Friendly Fire update, Sebastian is capable of damaging/killing the player if they flash him with a Flash Beacon. Upon doing it for the first time, Sebastian will pick up said player, say, "Don't do that again", break their Flash Beacon and throw them to the ground, dealing 50 DMG. If any player proceeds to flash Sebastian after the warning, he will instead pull out a triple barrel shotgun and shoot said player, instantly killing them. He will then tell the killed player that he warned them and does not show the document on him.

Background:

From his document, his first appearance in the pressure timeline is in 2013, when he is charged for murdering 9 people, and sent to execution by electric chair. Before that happened, Urbanshade ‘swooped’ him up, sending out a fake execution report, which ended up in Sebastian being declared dead. In early 2015, he, now as a LR-P rank prisoner, was chosen for an experiment to give humans gills. He was tested on with DNA of a mutated angler fish, ███████, a blue whale, a great white shark, a silver spinyfin, a mantis shrimp and a sea snake. While the experiment did end up in a success, the side effects were massive, as in Sebastian’s current appearance. There was a chance at reversing the physical damage done, but it wasn’t necessary due to his low rank. Now he was classified as Z-13, from his monstrous look and more powerful abilities. Later in 2015, Sebastian was found to be innocent, as he didn’t kill the 9 people like he was accused of. However, this information wasn’t told to Sebastian, nor was he released to the public. Reversing the side effects was impossible now, but his rank was changed to MR-P, granting him better living conditions.

Some facts:

Sebastian is voiced by Gianni Matragrano, who also voices Gabriel from ULTRAKILL, one of the games that inspired Pressure. Gianni agreed to voice Sebastian due to him finding the character "cute". Sebastian is confirmed to be 31 years old according to Zeal in a questionnaire, and shares the same age as his voice actor, Gianni Matragrano. Brock Baker (more commonly known as Brody Fox) was at one point considered to be a VA for Sebastian if Gianni rejected the role. Encountering Sebastian Solace in his Shop for the first time will reward the player with the "Uneasy Alliance" Badge. Buying an item in Sebastian's Shop for the first time will reward the player with the "Just Good Business" Badge. Buying every item available in Sebastian's Shop in a single run will reward the player with the "Sebastian's Outfit" Jumpsuit. Getting shot after flashing Sebastian twice will reward the player with the "You Deserve This" Badge. When exiting or tabbing out, Sebastian always says "Goodbye" to the player. When setting off for an expedition, as the Submarine departs Sebastian can be quietly heard telling the player "Good luck out there!". This voice line is also played upon exiting or tabbing out the game. Sebastian was originally supposed to have a gas mask as YourFriendZeal did not want to animate his mouth. Sebastian carries a scrambler that disables video surveillance and communication systems on his back that prevents Urbanshade from finding him. Sebastian was originally not supposed to have have Ear Fins. The photo of the cat on Sebastian’s pin is a photo of YourFriendZeal’s cat. Sebastian can control the anglerfish light on his forehead as if it were a lamp, pulling it down to turn it on and off. Before his transformation, Sebastian's height was 5'10 (~177 cm). His monster height is 10'6 (~320 cm). Sebastian's human form had a large scar in the middle of his face, since his transformation it has disappeared.

Some facts (2):

Sebastian sees credits as useless and does not like delivering dead drops; insulting the player if he is forced to do a delivery. This does not apply if a player enters his shop to buy items using research found inside the Blacksite. One of Sebastian's Dialogues (one when you don't have enough data to purchase an item) is a reference to Morshu’s Dialogue. from Link: The Faces of Evil. Sebastian was created with the joint effort of Zerum and Zeal, with Whales, Easy and Hobo assisting with character design and name. Jax and River were two out of a multitude of names that were considered before Sebastian was eventually chosen. Sebastian can purge the poison gained by consuming a wall dwellers flesh. this costs 1199$, even though you can purchase a Medkit and purge the toxin only for 399$. According to Zerum and Zeal, Sebastian is married to Zerum (the OC). This does not affect the game itself. According to Zerum, Sebastian's human form is described to have blue-ish green eyes. Sebastian is featured in a Collab Update with the game Regretevator. Sebastian will complain to the player saying it is "a waste" when the player uses a Code Breacher instead of the keycard to enter the next the room. If the player takes the card to the next room and holds it while buying an item. Sebastian insults the player, asking them what they are doing and calling them stupid. Sebastian's anger will linger whenever he is flashed with the Flash Beacon. For example, if someone had already been warned to not use it on him, and another person uses their flash beacon on him, He will shoot the recent user. Any further aggressions will cause him to shoot another user instead of warning each one individually. This can be resolved by buying something from him (needs conformation). Sebastian will snatch classified documents (which can be found in certain places) from you if you interact with them. He will reach over your head and take the document from you before you can open it.

Some facts (3):

Turning around will not let you see him. Sebastian didn't originally wear a ring until the recent Friendly-Fire Update. A special voiceline of Sebastian will play if at least 1 person on your team has met him before and the rest have not. Sebastian has a special voiceline for when you purchase his entire stock. Whenever you avoid going to Sebastian’s shop and instead go to the next door, he tries coaxing you to go to his vent. Sebastian appears around door 45-60, before encountering the Searchlights. If you encounter Sebastian, go to the next few doors then go back to the door he was in before, the door will be closed behind which prevents you from going back to his shop. Sebastian has its own game made by Zeal ''Cart Ride into Sebastian Solace''. If the player were to respawn and visit the shop again, Sebastian will say a secret voice line.
