The series starts as a conventional fitness vlog created by three friends: Vincent, Evan, and Jeff. As a joke, they include the fictional Slender Man in the background of their videos. However, the game turns real when the friends begin to be stalked and tormented by the actual Slender Man and other entities. Plot and lore Over its eight-year run, the series developed a complex mythology involving multiple creepy entities. Characters: The main characters—Vincent, Jeff, Evan, and their friend Stephanie—are caught in a centuries-old cycle of reincarnation. In each "iteration," they are forced to relive a predetermined struggle against supernatural forces. The entities: The primary antagonists are: Slender Man: The lanky, faceless entity that first appears in their videos and initiates the terror. HABIT: A malevolent, sadistic, and manipulative entity that possesses Evan. HABIT interacts heavily with the audience and orchestrates much of the series' macabre events. The Rake: A cat-like creature from creepypasta mythology, whose mythos was shaped by its appearance in the series. Evan Myers is a major character who transforms from one of the main protagonists into the unwilling vessel for the primary antagonist, HABIT. He is part of a "cycle of iteration," where he and his friends are reincarnated over time to repeat a preordained series of horrific events. From fitness vlog to possessed vessel The fitness expert: Evan is initially introduced as the "EverymanHYBRID Nutritional Correspondent," providing healthy eating advice in the early fitness vlogs. The first to believe: He is also one of the first in his friend group to acknowledge that the supernatural events they are experiencing are real and not just a prank. The possession: After being attacked by another entity, The Rake, Evan is gradually and eventually fully possessed by the sadistic, demonic entity known as HABIT. During this possession, Evan is forced to witness the horrific murders and torture of his friends and girlfriend, Stephanie, and their baby. Evan's character arc Traits: Before his possession, Evan is known for his fiery temper, his love of large knives, and his passion for horror video games. Connection to HABIT: The series reveals a historical link between Evan and HABIT, dating back to a previous "iteration." As a child at the Fairmount Children's Home, a past version of Evan only responded to the name "Habit" and showed signs of extreme violence. Final fate: At the end of the series, HABIT briefly releases Evan's consciousness, forcing him to confront the atrocities committed with his body. Distraught and broken, Evan attempts to kill himself by battling The Rake. However, his death is ultimately caused by HABIT's manipulations, which pit him against his last remaining friend, Vinny. The trials became progressively more depraved, with each one designed to psychologically break the participants: Trial one: Entrants were instructed to list their five most beloved possessions and then destroy one of them, documenting the act for HABIT. Trial two: Players were required to betray and permanently sever ties with a friend, claiming they had caused the destruction of the friendship. Trial five: Participants had to create a handmade gift for a loved one, present it to them, and then destroy the gift in front of the person. Trial six: Players were instructed to gather a group and hold a public protest to remove their local leadership, demanding that HABIT be the new leader. This had to be documented, and participants were warned to "keep it peaceful". Trial seven: The final "test": The last remaining "Rabbits" received a simple and ominous email with their final instruction: "KEEP YOUR BODY BREATHING". The deadline was indefinite, and the trial would continue as long as there were at least two competing Rabbits. The purpose of the Trials The motive behind the Trials was never fully revealed by HABIT, but it's clear the game was designed to cause suffering and chaos. While there was speculation that the Trials were a way of finding the "perfect host" for HABIT, he also revealed that his goal was simply "BODY COUNT". The conclusion of the Trials suggested that the final trial was an indefinite deathmatch, which would only end when the last Rabbit was killed. For the protagonists of EverymanHYBRID, participating in the Trials marked a definitive turn in their story, pulling them deeper into HABIT's influence and the supernatural nightmare they were already facing. HABIT is the central, malevolent, and immensely powerful demonic entity and antagonist of the web series EverymanHYBRID. He is primarily known for his cruel, charismatic, and manipulative personality, which he uses to orchestrate suffering and chaos for his amusement. Abilities and nature Possession: HABIT is a non-corporeal, possessive spirit who can take complete control of a host's body and enhance their strength and speed. He is primarily associated with possessing the character Evan Myers but has also controlled other characters, like Nick. His name is derived from the fact that he "inHABITs" his victims. Immortality and powers: As an ancient entity, HABIT is seemingly immortal and possesses a vast array of supernatural abilities, including reality-warping, time manipulation, mind control, and teleportation. He is often linked to rabbits in the series, with his Twitter handle being @HABITtheRABBIT. Manipulative sadism: HABIT takes immense joy in torturing and tormenting both the protagonists and other people, often engaging directly with the audience to further his sadistic "games," such as the "Seven Trials of HABIT". Lore and background Cycle of iteration: The protagonists of EverymanHYBRID are trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation, known as "iterations," which are controlled by supernatural entities, including Slender Man and HABIT. Early connections to Evan: HABIT is first revealed to have a historical connection to Evan Myers during the "Fairmount iteration." In this past life, Evan was a disturbed child who only responded to the name "Habit" and committed brutal murders. Relationship with Slender Man and other entities: HABIT's relationship with the Slender Man is complex; while they sometimes worked together in the past, HABIT generally views him as a rival. The Rake appears to be an enforcer or "deformed dog" that obeys HABIT's commands. Motivation and the ending True objective: HABIT's actions were ultimately part of a larger, long-game plan. He manipulated the events of the series to force the main character, Vinny, to confront his role as "The Voyeur" and the one who perpetuates the cycle by documenting it. Escaping the "Man's" game: By forcing Vinny to stop filming and confront the truth, HABIT successfully broke the predetermined narrative loop set up by a greater supernatural force known as "The Man". A new era: This act allowed the main characters to enter a new, un-documented era, free from the constraints of their cycle, finally giving them a genuine chance to escape the terror they were forced to endure for generations. Using Evan Myers' body as his vessel, HABIT commits the most horrific acts against the protagonists and those around them: Jeffrey Koval: After kidnapping and brutally torturing him, HABIT sets Jeff on fire and leaves him to burn, presenting him to the Slender Man in the woods. Stephanie and her baby: As a twisted act of cruelty against his host, Evan, HABIT tortures and disembowels Stephanie, who was pregnant with Evan's child. He then eats the newborn baby. Daniel: The friend who originally played the fake Slender Man is later lured by HABIT, who, still in Evan's body, shows up at his house and chokes him to death. Nick: After possessing another individual to kill his own dog, HABIT orchestrates a fight between an unpossessed Nick and his host Evan, and uses Evan to break Nick's neck. Shaun Andersen: In a crossover with MLAndersen0, HABIT kidnaps and interrogates Shaun before torturing and dismembering him with a chainsaw. Evan Myers: In the series finale, HABIT orchestrates a fatal duel between a freed Evan and Vincent. Evan is mortally wounded by Vinny with the "Godkiller" knife but manages to cut Vinny in return, killing them both. HABIT's actions are the direct cause of Evan's death. Vincent Caffarello: Though stabbed by Evan, Vinny's death is HABIT's ultimate goal in the finale, orchestrating the final showdown to kill his rivals. Killings throughout history As an ancient entity, HABIT's influence extends far beyond the main story, and he is implicated in a massive number of deaths throughout history, including: Fairmount nurse: As a child at the Fairmount Children's Home, Evan is possessed by HABIT and uses a plastic fork to murder a nurse. "Fairmount" rabbits: The same Fairmount-era possession leads HABIT to kill and crucify a warren of rabbits. Serial killers: HABIT implies that he possessed notorious serial killers throughout history, such as Jack the Ripper and Albert Fish. Seven Trials participants: HABIT murders "Rabbits" who are eliminated from his sadistic Seven Trials game, using his enforcer, the Rake, or other possessed individuals to carry out the killings. Diner patrons and SWAT team: In past iterations documented in the Corenthal papers, HABIT has been responsible for massacres and police fatalities. power/skills=High-level intelligence, psychological manipulation mastery, murder and torture methodology, unarmed combat, weapon proficiency, Immortality, mind manipulation, technokinesis, telepathy, time travel, reality warping, supernatural strength, time manipulation, Apportation . hobbies=killing people, torturing people, snuff filming, causing pain in creative ways whilst listening to various music “I've watched civilizations rise and fall, I've watched technology advance, I've watched a lot.

He is also noted for being shorter than his co-stars, standing at 5'3.
