Personality of Pebbles

Will: Writing for Five Pebbles was very difficult! It's hard to write both a smug, and angst-feeling character like him.

Will: A lot of players seem to view him as simply a villain for what happened
between him and Moon, or even mistake the rot as an intentional creation.

Will: The story itself in the base game is deeper then that, and Moon would never have
reason to treat him so closely if Five Pebbles was simply a jerk all along. She was a
big sister to him, and he did have his own relationship with Seven Red Suns.

Will: I think we settled on the idea of a mix of helplessness, from something that is physically impossible
for slugcat to comprehend. His "god like" identity seems to be posturing, rather then just bragging.

Will: Under that confidence he is still a dying machine. Eaten from the inside out.

Will: His slow transition from anger to helplessness was based off one of Moon's neuron conversations.

Will: Focusing Spearmaster as a sort of betrayal of trust, that SRS understood his goals, but
then to have the same friend return to them with the worry they might mess up. Only for Moon
to have caused that situation, and not himself, or at least in his isolated point of view!

Will: We noticed his anger slowly subside by Hunter, even giving Moon his regards as he sends the player off.

Will: Because of that Artificer would serve as a transition period of those two
states, and would give us the most interaction out of all the other slugcats.
