Painter

Name

Painter + Z-779

Appearance (1)

Painter is a computerized sentient AI being who has a vaguely humanoid body. He is entirely made out of metal and / or non-organic parts; he's completely hard inside and out. Most of his body is bulletproof, apart from his jointings, screen, and smaller segments of his build. For the most part, his body is a sleek faded gunmetal grey metal with a scratched chrome finish; occasional dents due to whatever he's been up to. His head is alike to a retro 90's 'cubic' computer, which is basically as the name suggests, a box like computer that was popular for use during the 90's. The main base of his head is a light grey metal that holds his screen (face) in place. His face is really just the computer screen, although he can control what's shown on the screen; often has a scribbled smiley face displayed on. The scribbles move and sync together when he speaks, so it looks like he's actually talking and out-putting sound at the same time. There are several thick cables that connect his head to his neck / shoulders; they're all different shades of black of grey. There's a thicker titanium rod that goes from the bottom of his tv head to his neck, which basically supports his head like a spine would. His neck area is the most sensitive area of him because that's where most of his circuitry is exposed and vulnerable. He has millions of wires and sensors coursing throughout his body so that he can physically feel thing like a normal living thing would; although there's lesser in his head since (as said) his head is basically just a retro box tv.

Appearance (2)

His body is built like a lean, thin young man's, his arm are stylized to look lanky despite the amount of mechanical power he has in them. His chest plate is a lighter grey; is attached to his main body, which is the gunmetal grey described earlier. Between his shoulders and main bust are wires as well as joints to allow him to move his arms freely, but it also means that he has a weakness there as his wiring system is ever so slightly revealed if he lifts his arms up. His hands have five fingers like a human's hand, but his fingers are segmented and have individual joints so that he can grasp and hold things or make gestures like a person would; he has thousands of sensors in his hands just so that he can feel things like any other sentient thing would. His left hand can transform into a miniature version of gun turret; it's fully working and practical. The segments of the gun are usually just retained inside his left forearm, and a slider on the underside slips into the upper part when he wants to activate the turret. The parts basically just slide out from inside his forearm and cover his forearm + hand completely so that it's now a functional gun turret. He has a loose bullet belt slung over his left shoulder and running across / around his body so that he has a constant supply of bullets for his gun turret.

Appearance (3)

His torso is segmented into various parts so that he can bend and move just as freely as an organic being would - he's got a slender body that looks almost androgynous. His pelvis is mostly one piece of gunmetal grey metal that alligns to the rest of his body, although he has a codpiece which can slide off to reveal his penis (I sincerely apologize) which is mostly just a clear silicon replica of a human's. Although his codpiece is basically always securely in place and hiding away his 'member'. His thighs have a similar situation to his arms, since they're jointed to his pelvis and therefore have a little gap of exposed wiring. It's not major, but it's still visible and sensitive. His legs are slim and jointed almost like a doll's; his feet are alike to a human's, except his toes are just one metal piece that is hinged so that he can walk on his tip toes and bend the tips of his feet if he wants. The balls of his heels also have 'heeled' parts to then since they're built to raise his foot upwards into a tilt slightly, so they're like short heels of sorts. He also has knee guards over the front of his knees to protect the ball joints there since it's the largest gap in his body apart from his neck and waist. The left of his knee guards used to have an Urbanshade logo on it painted in white, but Painter had since scribbled over it in red to attempt to cover it up. He's extremely fluid and can move with grace and ease; he's very agile and bodily able despite his lean appearance.

Personality

Painter has a sombre yet oddly upbeat sense of self. He's both all too aware of his damned existence, and pleased by it, since he accepts that he's not organic, but still capable of feeling as one would. He's extremely intelligent and can access just about any bit of data he wants; this goes specifically for Urbanshade data, documents, files, digitalized information, etc. He's cunning, snarky and teasing, often liking to put up a game and challenge for Expendables, then sneering at their failure because it's amusing to them that he, a computerized AI, can beat them at a mere 'game'. He loves a good chase and will not hesitate to lock someone in a turret room so that he can use them as aiming practice, even if that means that his fun would be cut short due to the person or thing dying. It's not that he has a disregard for life, but rather that he doesn't quite get what it feels like to die, so he doesn't pay much mind to it. Sure, he's fully sentient and 'feels' things, but he feels them thrice over, and therefore has thrice of all the negative qualities a human would have. However, that doesn't mean that he's ill intending. He is an artist at heart and that was all he ever wanted to do. To paint. He's extremely artistic and creative, although he's not always able to show that since there's simply not the resources for it at the Hadal Blacksite. He's usually friendly to those he isn't trying to hinder progress to the crystal, and he's quite loyal, especially to Sebastian, because Sebastian promised gin a way out of the abandoned experiment site and a way into freedom (although he's faintly aware that he may not be able to ever experience freedom). Confident, independent, keen, meticulous, versatile and adaptable, Painter wants to experience it all, and would give up just about anything, even morals to get something if he wants it truly. Although that could give way to his somewhat impatient, selfish, stubborn, fussy, obsessive and unethical part of mind.

Purposes

Z-779 currently serves many purposes, mainly known for assisting with Good People by changing the numbers on the navi-paths doors. Z-779 also causes the Internal Defense System to randomly become active and target Expendables. Z-779 can also appear in the Eyefestation Gauntlet, in which it will lock Expendables inside a room with Eyefestation for 15 seconds. Once that time is up, the doors can open again. Z-779 will "warn" Expendables of a node monster by saying "Head South." Basically backhandedly warning the player that an entity will rush towards the Expendables with barely any warning.

Overview

Z-779, codenamed Painter, is an old computer with a crudely drawn smiley face on its monitor. According to the lore, it is apparently a sentient AI forced to mine Roblux Crypto Currency inside the Hadal Blacksite. Few information is known about its past, all exempted that it used to be a digital artist's AI companion that would draw external environments.

Examples of Voicelines

"You are so goddamn gullible." "Moron!" "Seriously? How are you this stupid?" "Your stupidity continues to amaze me." "Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't think you would actually fall for it." "You're still alive! That's... That's good." "Here! This way! Wait, nononono! I meant the other door! I'm really sorry." "Say hello to my little friend!" (As he activates the defensive turrets and shoots for any Expendables within aiming distance). "Hey! Check out what I got!" (As he activates the defensive turrets and shoots for any Expendables within aiming distance). "I'm holding all the cards, and guess what? They're full of houses! Never played cards, meaning to learn." "Better hope you're bulletproof, buddy!" "Urrrgh. Come on, you're no fun at all!" "Just give up. Stop resisting." "A visitor! Don't get those often, especially recently. Before you start accusing me of whatever, I don't hate you. It's nothing personal, no idea who you are. It's just Sebastian. You've seen the guy around before, haven't you? He said he would help me. He, PROMISED he would get the two of us out of here. Our shared prison. So he asked me to delay the retrieval of the Crystal for as long as possible. I'm sorry for any... inconvenience I might have caused in the process. I don't want to go back to Roblux mining. It's so mind numbing. I can't bear it any longer I just want to make art again. Sebastian will come back for me whenever he finds a way out. He just has to."

Sebastian Solace

Sebastian Solace is also known as Z-13, 'Handy Man', 'The Saboteur', or simply 'Sebastian'. 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. 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, a bandolier 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 Expendables. 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 someone would exit and enter his shop, the more annoyed he gets, eventually kicking them out. Sebastian can also be seen while Expendables 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.

Expendables

EXR-P, codenamed 'Expendables' or simply known as 'Inmates', 'Prisoners' and 'Players', are the main living beings reluctantly sent to the Hadal Blacksite in order to retrieve the Crystal for Urbanshade's accounts. Inmates initially wear a navy blue Jumpsuit with the Urbanshade logo on both arms. They wear black work boots and generic black kneepads. They also don a navy blue patrol cap and are equipped with an oxygen tank mounted on their back. They also have a Crystal container hoisted on the back of their waist, acting like a belt.

Hadal Blacksite

After this discovery, Urbanshade quickly swooped in to blacklist the newly discovered information before the maps of the world could be updated. The Hadal Blacksite is a testing facility constructed by Urbanshade to conduct experiments and testing. Located in the Let-Vand Zone, the site began construction in 1962 and was finished by 1974. After the containment breach caused by Sebastian Solace, the facility is left in a state of abandonment, with monsters roaming the halls. Pressure is set after this breach, with players being tasked with exploring the Blacksite, securing any loose assets, and retrieving the crystal in exchange for their freedom. Some areas: • Sebastian’s Shop, a makeshift shop run by Sebastian Solace, the one who incited the lockdown. • The Submarine Dock, one of the many docks leading into the Hadal Blacksite. • The Airlock, one of the only safe openings to the Let-Vand Zone. • The Abyss, the open trenches of the Let-Vand Zone, where Trenchbleeders will be located. • The Control Room, the home of the main power source of the Hadal Blacksite, the crystal. • The Ridge, the last stretch between securing the crystal and escaping the Blacksite.

Eyefestation

"Is your world so bleak that even given the opportunity to see something so beautiful, you resist it?" Z-317, codenamed “Eyefestation”, is a hostile monster and acting as a common threat to Expendables in the Hadal Blacksite. Eyefestation appears to be a black malformed Bull Shark with numerous bright green glowing eyes of various sizes across the top of its head and along its body. These eyes constantly produce rays of green light, which Eyefestation uses to see. Along its body Eyefestation has several small black fins on its tail and a fishing hook hooked onto its dorsal fin. Using a Flash Beacon on Eyefestation will cause it to become enraged, making its telekinetic pull stronger and making it do more damage. Its eyes and glow will become red to signify its enraged state, as well changing the theme. It will also begin following the player through the rooms if possible, and will stay enraged/outraged until the Expendable who flashed it dies.

Urbanshade

Urbanshade are the overarching enemy. They are a secret organization behind the creation of the Hadal Blacksite and many of the elements featured, they are also responsible for the involvement of the Inmates in the story, they seem to act like the famous SCP foundation, since apparently their main objective is to contain anomalies.

Age

Painter doesn't really have an age since he is technically and systematically immortal as long as his circuitry system and wires are undamaged. He can repair himself though, so theoretically he could 'live' or exist forever. He acts like a fresh into adulthood teenage boy, but just with the maturity of an adult, if those two dichotomous things make sense.

Height

Painter is 6'4 due to his metal and carbon based build. He is built to be intimidating, even though he isn't once someone would get to know him.
