## Trivia

* Rags is visually inspired by the minor character Birdman from the manga Akira.
* Rags originally was entirely bald but this caused playtesters to often assume she was a man. Adding hair didn't really fix this problem but Talia Mair stopped caring about people thinking Rags is a man.
* Rags' name comes from the fact that Talia Mair would constantly misremember Rebel, a playable character from the video game Nuclear Thone, as having the name Rags.
* The hole in Rags' head is inspired by the tokoloshe from Zulu mythology.
* Rags drilled the hole in her forehead herself. The process was agonizing but has enabled her to see "gentle immaterial things".
* Rags respects Boyle but the two do not speak much.
* Clive and Rags actually know eachother and have travelled together numerous times. Their relationship is complicated.
* Rags claims she can see a third "wriggling thing" within Splig. What she means by this is unclear.
* Cranes is entirely invisible to Rags. This has lead her to verbally doubt his existance on several occasions.
* On a few occasions, Rags has been caught "speaking" to Gospel.
* Objects put into the hole in Rags' skull sometimes take months to re-emerge.
* Rags only has 7 fingers: 3 on the left and 4 on the right, but she claims to have 8.
* Rags is one of the few beings to have seen the Ungod's face.
* Unlike how most commonly refer to Purgatory as being below the material world, Rags often refers to it as being above.
