The Insidious Figure (Minor Spoiler?)

[Cteklite]

So, under the Outpost, there's a little hideaway that holds an NPC I've taken to calling "The Insidious Figure," for reasons.

Before the 1.0 update, you had to give him/her 10 climbing ropes and you'd get a neat little kabuki mask. Now, you just walk in there, rummage through the crate in that room, and leave.

To get under the Outpost to find this person, acquire a grappling hook or a ton of climbing ropes, and channel your inner Rico Rodriguez.

Anyway, before I get too far off-topic, here's a few questions.

-What race is the figure?

-Is it a guy or a girl? Personally, I think it's a girl, judging by the little hair bun behind the mask.

-Who's hunting them? Why?

-Why do they really not want you down there with them?

-Does the mask symbolize something, or is it just a fashion statement?

-Will the Figure be used as a quest-giver in a later update, or will we have to perform some kind of obscure ritual to start a secret boss fight and reveal the figure's identity?

That's pretty much it. I apologize to anyone whose eyes burst into flames while reading this text.

Under? So the out post is an island of sorts?

Yeah, its a big floating island in space. You can easily use the spiked ball tech to get under there too.

You fall with that thing now

Oh, nutz. At least I got mine while it was convenient. Seems like chuckles patches out everything that removes the grindey portions of the game. Which is really silly, as you can admin or mod everything without acheivement reprocussions.

Just found him, I had to buy the Pirated Rho mech to fly down there, I made 1/3 using my grapple so i decided to invest

Well idk but you fall off now especially upside down

[Agentkiller]

I played about 20min ago and can climb on the ceiling with no problems.

To resolve the confusion around the spike ball tech, if you have a speed boost buff, or mobility augment, or something, you might fall off walls and ceilings if you go around a sharp corner too fast, but you will stick to them normally.

I was curious one day and used an NPC Controller item from the NPC Controller mod on the insidious mask npc and turns out he is a human named "Cameron". After seeing that i immediately searched if someone know this and had some extra lore and no threads are talking about the man being named Cameron. So i searched the name cameron and turns out there is a statue named "Cameron York Statue" (if u want to spawn, the id is "cameronstatue") which is a statue submitted by a pre-order backer. Even tho they both are humans, the hair of the statue differs with the hair of the npc. I dont know if this is the actual name of the npc or its just the NPC Controller mod generating name for npc's but i rechecked multiple times and the name is consistent after quit the world/game.
