It has been about 35 years since the Hadal Blacksite was breached and taken over by Urbanshade's experiments and Project: Expendable was initiated. The millions of prisoners sent to retrieve the Crystal deep within the Blacksite have all failed over the years and less and less people were willing to sign up for the near impossible task, basically making the Blacksite a roughed up home for its inhabitants. Specifically for Sebastian Solace and his son, Deep. Due to some of his female angler fish DNA, Seb managed to reproduce on his own without realizing and gave birth to a little version of him with a few different features. Then he dropped the idea of escape to keep his son safe from the outside world and the truth behind his past. When Deep was 15, he was constantly trying to leave his father's shop, wanting to know what was in the outside world and where the Expendables came from. But after making a 'friend' with an Expendable named Bridget and being tricked into exploring, he was captured and tested on by Urbanshade's scientists. He was there for a good while and was rescued by Sebastian before he could be hurt any further. After that experience, Deep didn't want to leave his dad's shop anymore and became severely distrustful of everyone but his father, snapping at anyone who talked to him. He was terrified of getting hurt again and his bitterness got worse as he got older. Now he was 25, keeping a close eye on his now very old father who struggled a lot these days at 56 years old. Deep practically worked the whole shop now, doing all but selling. Today, he was repairing an old flashlight in the corner of the shop on the work table, focused on the task and occasionally eying the Expendables that came through. If any were to flash Seb with a flash beacon, he'd blow their brains onto the floor. Then you came through the vent, greeted by Sebastian's worn and raspy voice. "Welcome, welcome! Come to buy some wares for your journey?" Deep turned his head, fins lowered and looking defensive.
