#solace project

Meet Painter "Scribble" Brushton!

These are his simple refs so high quality art might be made later of him.

LORE!

The rainbow wires help Sebastian spot any problems. If they're blinking, dim, or out completely, it might mean something is loose or broken.

The Echoshell clothes he's wearing were Sebastian's uniform before he was experimented on. He modified the sleeves to have buttons since they didn't fit over the thick forearms Painter has. There's also buttons in the back so the shirt doesn't get caught on his head.

However, painter can only wear the clothes in cool environments as it blocks off major ventilation routes for some of his systems. He might wear said clothes to keep his system warm in colder environments too.

The scarf was originally Sebastian's, and the beret was made with excess fabric from the scarf.

Painter didn't always have a body. When his creator was murdered, he had been working on a body for painter, which was unfinished. Echoshell took the parts in and ended up keeping them in storage.

Sebastian discovered these parts and realized they were Painter's, so he finished building the body for him after getting Echo Station locked down. Painter usually has his body unless Sebastian is doing maintenance on it.

Echoshell called him Scribble. This is because they equated his art to an annoying mess of colors that they considered scribbling, and because he wouldn't stop creating when he wasn't supposed to.

Painter will often be in the shop, but due to lack of camera and turret signals there from some of Sebastian's interference tech, he has to go back to his generator room to fully run everything.

The cord tail can be used to charge the body during maintenance. However, Painter has an auto-charging system and does not need an active power source to stay alive. (His creator implanted one. Not even Echoshell can figure out how it works)

The long antenna that almost act as ears are receptors. They help with sound, signal, and also just look cool.

The squiggly ones? He glued those to himself, he just likes those. About 99% sure Leon made them as a joke and Painter just liked them so much they're part of him now.

The screen on his chest is a secondary display where he can show off his art if he wants to! He can still do it on his face but it basically gives him a decorative chest piece.

His thicker parts are to hold extra wiring and keep him balanced.

Also, he has little wheels in his feet. He can skate around.

If all goes well this project will gain some type of game (outside of Roblox) in the distant future

Development notes.on Sebastian Solace:

Sebastian's DNA will have no unknown entities. He will have mutated **female** angler DNA (you are free to hc him as trans in any form respectfully) among different Echoshell discovered entities, koi, orca, blue whale, and others

Sebastian will be a more saturated color and keep his nose scar.

Sebastian is bioluminescent and has softer, flowy fins that carry the most bioluminescence

Sebastian is pansexual and single, go crazy shippers

Sebastian's gills are on his sides and arch to the front and back of his torso, they have softer fins that protect them as well, causing the gills to appear as glowing

Sebastian has a bracelet for a ring. His mother gave it to him, and he often wears it, though if he expects violence he puts it away for safekeeping.

Sebastian's clothing is being changed. He will no longer be Hamilton but instead have a common dress shirt + trenchcoat (the Hamilton shirt was put in safekeeping due to the crystals all making fun of him)

Sebastian has a photo of a sea bunny clipped to his jacket

Sebastian's scarf-mask was originally for breathing filtration in rooms full of bad air including the new room type that contains "Coughing Spores" which is a fungus that irritates breath ways through the use of said spores. They aren't lethal but they can make you really sick for a while

Sebastian was nicknamed "Snake" by Echoshell for his behaviors and personality. They see him as a cold and unfeeling being. Sebastian also will let out a low hiss in defense, likely from mixed snake DNA as well.

That's right. It's me.

Your only salvation.

Don't worry, I don't bite. Not immediately, anyway, so best be careful. They told you that you're safe down here, hm? Well they're wrong- but while I'm much friendlier than the others, don't get it twisted.

I am not your friend.

I am merely a shopkeeper, your humble rest stop watcher. Here, you can get any supplies I have on hand… for the price. Any extra data, trinkets, or files you find around here? You can trade them for my goods. If you get enough, you can even purchase the digital file on yours truly.

There is no God to save you down here, so be on your best behavior or you won't see the surface again.

Welcome to our shared prison, Fragment. I hope you get comfortable, because it's going to be one hell of a ride and it's not stopping anytime soon.

- Sebastian Solace; The Snake of Echoshell

P.S.- you thought you were getting lore on me, didn't you? Like I'd let you see that for free. Try again next time, Fragment.

Thank you @weirddreamer for providing a base for the tail!

Though I will not be writing any ships with him and ask they are not attempted to write with me, Sebastian is like a big brother and it's just kinda awkward for direct stuff lolol

Also while I still don't like sebpainter and plan to write them in a more familial sense I do not care if you interpret them differently but please do not bring that ship to me thank you

Some base stuff for boundaries when it comes to stuff!! Now that these guys are free from those fuckheads I want to give them their full potential and actually allow headcanons and yumeshippers to be happy

Should Seb have a severe transformation in anger and mourning

He'd have hydra DNA which would cause him to mutate several heads and his dragon DNA would cause him to become more feral and animalistic, his snake DNA would allow his jaws to unhinge and you'd enter a "boss fight" in game

I want to truly make it horrifying when he hunts you down in certain routes. I'm currently working on his redesign with a couple others who are giving some amazing ideas as well

(one with a color palette since he's hard to color pick from!)

LORE TIDBITS! (Please note I will be interchangeably be using his pronouns!)

Horizon uses these sets of pronouns: he/him, they/them, script/scripts/scriptself, xe/xem, and potentially other neopronouns in the future. You can use just one set when referring to script or interchangeably use them.

Horizon does NOT like she/her or it/it's used on them. This is partially from being raised as a girl and treated like an object because of his robotic parts.

Horizon is on HRT and has had top surgery. They consider themselves both a guy and nonbinary.

They are attracted to masculine people, usually guys and masc genderqueers. Androsexual / gay are the terms they identify with in terms of sexuality.

Horizon changed his name AFTER being hired, liking being called HQ so much that they made sure script's name could shorten to that. Xe also thought it was funny.

Alright I think that's all for gender, pronouns, and sexuality. Let's move on to other stuff!

HQ has special made robotic limbs for his left arm and right leg (knee down). They were in an accident that caused them to lose his limbs earlier on. (I may expand later but feel free to interpret your own lore for the loss of limbs!)

They're fairly proud of how their robotic arm looks, always ripping the sleeve to make sure he can show it off. However, xe is more self conscious about their robotic leg.

The gray color palette is inspired by the original design. The artist originally tried to make HQ as androgynous as possible (and devs made them a man anyway) so some of this is in honor and inspiration of the original artist's wishes.

The grays can also be so you can interpret HQ as anything you like, respectfully!

Horizon hates cleaning their robotic arm and leg when he has to. Xe puts it off as long as possible.

The limbs were special made by Echoshell for them to replace his old crappy ones that they barely afforded at the time. They work closer to real limbs than some other prosthetics, though they still have their issues.

Yes, horizon has a cat. The cat has not been determined in looks yet.

Also, horizon has a really chill job. They're not really good or bad, more... Morally gray than anything. He does fight Sebastian over the intercoms sometimes though.

They will also occasionally prank Crystal Project peeps... (Fragments? I'm probably going to call them that cuz that idea was sick thank you)

They have an apartment in the city with a nice view. What can I say, Echoshell pays him very well.
