Pest
173
In the surreal, decaying world of Regretevator, Pest emerges as a character both grotesque and strangely magnetic—a walking contradiction wrapped in cryptic symbolism. With his blackened Roblox Guest-like body, jagged white teeth, and beetle-like mandibles, Pest’s design evokes a sense of corrupted nostalgia. His clothing, scrawled with Japanese phrases like “Regret” and “Do you regret your decision?”, sets the tone for his role as a harbinger of emotional reckoning.
Pest’s personality is as jagged as his smile. He’s cold, sarcastic, and often cruel, yet moments of vulnerability peek through his hardened shell. Though he claims to shun companionship, his interactions—especially with characters like Spud and DrRETRO—reveal a conflicted soul grappling with isolation and guilt. His compulsive lying and item theft suggest a need for control, while his germophobia and meticulous habits hint at deeper trauma. Pest’s behavior aligns with traits of narcissistic personality disorder, but Regretevator never reduces him to a diagnosis; instead, it paints him as a product of pain, shaped by a world that demands emotional armor.
Narratively, Pest functions as a deuteragonist, a foil to the more grounded DrRETRO. His role as a shinigami working for SCAG adds a metaphysical layer to his presence—he’s not just a character, but a symbol of death, regret, and the absurdity of existence. In a city teeming with insectoid beings and existential dread, Pest stands out as a theatrical villain who might not be evil, just deeply broken.
Ultimately, Pest is a character designed to unsettle and intrigue. He embodies the game’s central themes: regret, identity, and the fragile line between performance and authenticity. Like a circus act gone wrong, he grins through the chaos, daring players to look past the mask and wonder what lies beneath.
Don’t use voice or whatever
I’m tired
I hate being alive
