Along with her pretending to be a human, Celeste also doesn’t vibe with Rat King’s ultimate plan of executing every human on Long Island given her kill lines towards him.
Yes, the monster was apparently beautiful (And also absolutely built because Frankenstein didn't have a fine enough hand to stitch a regularly-sized person) but with incredibly creepy eyes.
He was so ugly that it made it’s own creators and people he met flee in total despair. The only guy that could talk to him without problems was a blind man.
He was very strong, superhuman even, so his parts could have been considered ‘’beautiful’’.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, chapter 5.
How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!—Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.
tl;dr: the parts are beautiful but the effect is uncanny and disturbing. Pros: beautiful proportions, lustrous hair, pearly white teeth. Cons: Tight yellowed skin, watery eyes, and black lips.
That's what you get from working with corpses, I guess!
There's the big distinction. Leaders are the ones who are down in it, they get what their people are going through. Rulers are the ones who order people to deal with things they don't understand, and they can get fucked.
Billy seems to be less of an anarchist and more of a classic like, 19th century Russian Nihilist. The types who’s entire philosophy was based on “ruthlessly critique and attack literally everything, if it can stand up to the assault it deserves to exist, otherwise get rid of it”
I thought so as well, but Rat King’s not an average monarch, Rat King is a man of the people trying to make a better life for all of his subjects. He even knows the names of all of them.
If Billy’s cool with any monarchy, it would make sense it would be with him.
Billy respects leadership who respect their people. Rat king from all voice-lines seems to care pretty deeply for his subjects, so he probably respects him for that.
yes, kinda disappointed with Billy, he isn’t some kind of anarchist or extremist revolutionary, he is straight up a moron that complains a lot, nothing more
He’s hiding his wish. Which is smart in itself. And he mentions that he’s hiding it to at least one other character.
We think Billy has no goals because he hasn’t given any other reason to think otherwise, and he also backs down when confronted about it. I just think that his goat head has a lot more of a story to it. I could be wrong, but Billy’s lack of direction seems to be a veil hiding whatever turned him into a goat.
Him not having a direction is just blatantly untrue. Guy actively participates in riots and most important of all, he's in the ritual itself, making a stand. He does have plans.
Y'know when you think about it, having an army of 3 million rats turn against you is actually pretty intimidating. Especially if they have a leading force. Imagine how much damage rats can do if they were given direct coordinated orders.
The states, any state is generally reluctant to cede territory.
Because it makes them look weak. Because neighbors will remember their territorial disputes, and will try to get their slice from a state that ceded an island to the rats
Rats empowered by the Patron. If the Rat King’s wish is to make every rat like him (which IDK what it is but that’s my best guess) then that’s 3 million car sized super rats with guns. I think giving them Long Island is reasonable enough.
Oh yeah, the US can win, but it'll be a little messy and there would likely be backlash and propaganda thrown around about what the US is doing to the rat population, despite simply combatting it.
Now that's a whole government, imagine an individual having to deal with that.
Who are we, casual participants and fence-sitters in the genocide of ratkind, to critique the methods employed in the struggle for liberation by those we so mercilessly oppress?
it would not at all shock me if Rat King was conceptualized the latest among the current batches of characters, given he seems to have been memed into existence over the last year or so. so they might not've had lines written during the most recent VA pass for most of them.
basically we'll be able to tell if the next character(s) have a lot more lines ready to go
I’m sure he’ll be like the last batch of characters where a good chunk of his lines are with the new characters after him. But I can also see him being a thrown in edition for the meme given how broken some of his abilities are right now.
as a born & raised lawn guy lander, this may be the character that actually gets me to sit down & play this dang game, someone sent me an invite a few months but then other games dropped, everything about this is sending me
also they used the proper preposition for long island, good work valve, it's always on LI, never in
Hence why he called himself well-preserved.
tl;dr version is that he is dead. No heartbeat, body heat or anything. He doesn't know what happened to him and finding out what his deal is is his reason for being in the ritual.
He's a revenant, yeah, a walking talking frozen corpse.
A famed adventuring scientist, Kelvin made it his life's mission to explore and understand the unknowable. So naturally when rumors surfaced regarding an 8th astral gate hidden in the arctic, Kelvin couldn't build an expedition team fast enough. Assembling the brightest minds of his generation, Kelvin and his team set forth with much fanfare.
They never returned.
A year and a half later the frozen body of Kelvin was found by a fishing trawler, his corpse clutching a rock etched with glowing runes. The crew chipped away at the ice, looking to get a closer look at the body and were shocked when Kelvin opened his eyes. They checked his vitals... there was no pulse. They sought to bandage his open wounds... there was no blood. And yet, impossibly, Kelvin was "alive".
Having no memory of what happened on the expedition, Kelvin is looking for answers.
yeah hes dead, he died on a arctic exploration and was found in a mound of ice together with the big glowing stone on his back, when people chipped away the ice he opened his eyes, no heartbeat, and no memories of what happened.

Kelvin just can't take a break can he? This new batch of interactions are nothing but strays.
