I like the approach SNW is taking with long lived races. Where Guinan was all calm and wise, Pelia is a quirky ball of energy. Maybe it’s because Guinan is much younger and Pelia knows that there is something significantly worse than death. Boredom.
I think there was an episode of Voyager to that effect; a Q decides to show up on Voyager of all places wanting to kill himself because immortality, omniscience and omnipotence get boring after awhile, and Actual Q is (for some reason) cast as the responsible adult in this situation.
Q showed up on voyager because he knew that Janeway would happily oblige on account of her being a bloodthirsty war criminal, chomping at the bit to extinguish more life in her eternal quest for caffeine

I think that’s almost the entirety of why Q was so… Q. When you’re already a god, what’s left to strive for but amusing yourself?

Other Q really just had to make himself look like Tuvix and Janeway would’ve killed him instantly
I came here for blood and coffee, and I’m just about out of coffee.
And further supported by the Q Continuum being shown to be full of bored Q who have already seen and done everything.
It’s too late. They’ve seen it all.
They’re max level with BiS gear. Time to start alts!
Q’s final scene was Picard’s Season 2 only redeeming quality. Then Season 3 retconned that too.
