HABIT

"You think your body's broken? You're not even close. But that doesn't matter, does it? 'Cause you figure, "I won't care. Do it. Cut me open, HABIT, gut me like a fish. Cut off my fingers, chew 'em in front of me. I won't care, won't give a shit. I won't scream, I won't beg, I won't cry." But you will. They always do. And in that moment, I'll be there. To piss in your wounds, and to burn you alive. You think you're untouchable? Not even God can hide from me."

- HABIT

HABIT is a immensely powerful and mysterious evil force and the main antagonist/protagonist villain in the EverymanHYBRID ARG, a cameo character and heroic figure in Season 1 and a supporting antagonist in Season 2 of the TribeTwelve ARG, and also a Bigger Bad villain in the MLandersen0 ARG.

Background
Not much is known about HABIT and his origin, however, it has been speculated that he is Patient Evan (Fairmount Evan), whose personality and behavior is almost the same. He somehow caused many violent events in the world, like the uprising in Egypt and possibly The Nazi Party and The Holocaust. He revealed that he worked with nazis at some point of history. He also possessed many serial killers, like Vlad the Impaler, Jack the Ripper, and Ed Gein.

EverymanHYBRID
At the start of the series the main focus was on Slender Man as the series main threat, but as the series progressed a new mysterious force known as HABIT came along. At first it was mentioned and hinted at briefly. After the protagonists of the series lose a close friend Ryan they link his death to something called The SEVENTRIALSOFHABIT. This was a tournament held by HABIT that made the participants (who he referred to as rabbits) do seven strange things. These included: After the trials and the deaths of several of the protagonist's friends at the hands of The Rake, Evan tells Vincent Caffarello how he was attacked by their friend Nick and that he killed Nick in self defense. This turns out to be a lie when Jeff goes to Evan's house he finds Nick alive and is stabbed by Evan who has an evil smile on his face. It turns out the HABIT had posessed Evan and inside Evan's body tortured and killed Jeff. HABIT proceeds to burn Jeff's body and afterwards Slenderman shows up to claim it. Following that HABIT goes on to murder Evan's lover Stephanie and eat their newborn baby. After he shows up at another friend of theirs Daniel's house acting like Evan. HABIT procedes to choke Daniel to death.
 * 1) Bury and abandon a cherished object
 * 2) Elect team leaders and eliminate 16 Rabbits
 * 3) Sever ties with a friend, blaming it on them
 * 4) Recite a poem written by HABIT in a crowded area
 * 5) Create a gift for a friend and destroy it in front of them
 * 6) Protest local goverenment to request that HABIT be the place's new leader
 * 7) The final one cryptically said "Keep your body breathing." All evidence points towards the fact that the remaining Rabbits had to kill the rest of them in order to win. (To explain, if RABBIT #2 and RABBIT #3 are left, they have to kill each other. The one that stays alive wins the tournament.)

Later HABIT leaves Evan's body and Evan reunites with Vinny and begins living with him. Evan appears traumatized by what HABIT did in his body. After a long time of silence Vinny and Evan decide to summon HABIT for answers as to what is going on. HABIT returns to Evan's body and tells Vinny how dumb summoning him was. HABIT does admit it took courage and tells Vinny he will be bringing guests to him. HABIT leaves and goes on with his business regarding TribeTwelve's Noah Maxwell.

TribeTwelve
HABIT is a cameo caracter in season 1 and a "hero" later supporting antagonist of season 2 in the Slender series TribeTwelve. He helps Firebrand break free of The Collective, during the video, "Severance", he brings Noah to his house and asks him a couple of questions. He explains a couple of things to him, as well as ordering Noah to draw the symbol that appeared during the last few years. Noah then drew the symbol wrong a couple of times, when HABIT specified that it needs to be fully correct for it to 'work'. After his second try, HABIT firstly warns Noah he'll cut off his right shoulder by taking out a dice with human body parts marked, but the thrid time, he does it correctly. HABIT then explains the meaning of Severance. A man is heard from the bathroom across the room. After HABIT opens the door, it reveals to be a certain stranger, stabbed in the side. There are many speculations who this actually is. Nothing has been confirmed. After the conversation, HABIT kicks Noah out of his house, leaving him to wander Piscataway, New Jersey.

Two months later, in the video Bridge to Nowhere, Noah was transported to an alternate reality(or another dimension) only known as the Candleverse. Jeff (who was killed by HABIT) appears on a bridge Firebrand instructed him to go to, and tells Noah to kill himself, claiming he can't be the hero of this. With Jeff leaving Noah, HABIT appears on camera. For possibly the first time, we hear HABIT's true voice. A sinister, demonic one. HABIT threatens Noah, mocking him with saying he don't have the guts to kill himself, to which Noah spits in his face. Later on, HABIT kicks Noah in the groin, leaving him in his house in Florida.

MLandersen0
After the events of TribeTwelve, HABIT makes a minor appearance in "HELLO" when Vincent drugs Shaun Andersen. He later appears in "GOODBYE" as the main antagonist of the episode, torturing and possibly killing Eric while Vin records the event. At one point, it is stated HABIT has some history with Patrick Andersen, but their relationship is unknown.

Return to EverymanHYBRID
HABIT is seen in one of the latest episodes talking with Vincent. Vincent declares that he doesn't want to hurt people anymore, and that he'd rather die. HABIT unlocks the door for him to leave. As he steps outside, HABIT knocks him out and locks him in Jeff's old room. There is a timer there that is set to go off in a certain amount of time. Vince waits there as the lights go off when time is up.

Personality & Appearance
A really 'sassy' person. He's a maniac, but has his 'warm' side, although it just usually leads up to his personal profit. He makes fun out of people, considering them mere 'Rabbits', waiting for slaughter. His sense of humor reminds people of Beetlejuice, or even The Joker.

HABIT's appearance depends on the host he's inHABITing, but when he inHABIT's Evan, he makes him look more cheerful, happy and well. It's most likely due to his 'healing' powers. He's very often seen with a specific purple distortion when shown on camera.

Relationships

 * Vincent Caffarello (Frenemy): Vin obviously dislikes HABIT, but, afraid for his life, started following his orders for a while. When Vincent decided to cut his ties with HABIT, he knocked him out and had him placed in Jeff's room for an unknown extent of time. Its unknown what HABIT thinks of Vin afterwards, but Vin likely still fears and dislikes HABIT.
 * Slender Man (Possible Ally): Not much is know about the relationship between the two, but HABIT has stated that Slender Man is one of the few friends he has. HABIT always refers to the Slender Man as "Stick-In-The-Mud."
 * The Things (Relationship Unknown): HABIT has stated once or twice that the unseen cameramen that follow him give him the creeps. It seems that he sees them as pets, or even slaves, as he once called one a "good dog."
 * The Rake (Ally): It's implied that the Rake is a loyal ally to HABIT. HABIT has stated that it is one of the only friends he has.
 * Evan (Enemy/Vessel): HABIT and Evan are somehow connected to each other (this may have to do with "Fairmount Evan.") However, Evan despises HABIT with a passion for killing his friends and family. Regardless of this, he accepts to attempt to become his vessel again for answers.
 * Jeff (Enemy): HABIT's relationship with Jeff is more like a relationship between a bully and a nerd, he is always making fun of him. HABIT claims that he respects Jeff to some extent for being a smart guy. Regardless of this, HABIT violently tortures him to death and burns his body.
 * Noah Maxwell (Frenemy): Noah clearly does not want to get involved with HABIT and the things he does. This is clear when he states several times about what a monster HABIT is, making it obvious that the things HABIT does deeply disturbs Noah. Noah even goes as far as spitting in HABIT's face. However, HABIT encourages and helps Noah for unknown reasons (this is likely due to his future relationship with Noah as he becomes Firebrand.)
 * Firebrand (Mutual Ally): HABIT saved Future Noah from The Collective for unknown reasons. Its unknown if Noah still dislikes HABIT as Firebrand, as he does call him a 'loathsome entity', but they appear to be working together to some extent against the Collective.
 * The Collective (Relationship Unknown): Its theorized that HABIT was a former Collective member and then he defected and became more powerful than ever. As stated previously, he may be working against the Collective.
 * Patrick Andersen (Relationship Unknown): HABIT states that he is familiar with the entity that has possessed Michael (Patrick), but their relationship other than that is unknown.

Quotes
"You, you really, you really think that you're the boss? You really think that you can just.. tell all of us what to do, and we'll do it. They might, maybe. But me, not so much. I know, oh, I know you're powerful. I know you're a big strong man, but you gotta remember who brought you these little fish. You gotta remember that whatever I want, I get. Whatever I want! If I want their fucking blood, then I will take it! There ain't a GOD damn thing you can do about it. You may scare Evan, but he's just a bitch. Not me. I will fuck you up the next chance I get. Now... let's talk about these little fishes."

Theories

 * HABIT is either a ghost, spirit, demon, or possibly a fallen angel that can possess people. The scenes in Ryan & the SEVENTRIALSOFHABIT seem to indicate that he is currently possessing Evan.
 * HABIT is an unreasonably powerful alternate personality of Evan's. Also, Evan of the Mining Town Four was nicknamed HABIT.
 * HABIT is the incarnation of evil itself.
 * HABIT is the Rake - the circumstances around Ryan's death seems to indicate he was killed by the Rake after having entered HABIT's contest. Also, Alex, who has been persecuted by the Rake, had for a while his channel's background changed to a dead rabbit. Additionally, on the MLAndersen0 video, GOODBYE, HABIT acts a little bit like the Rake at times; he crawls and jumps around Shaun.
 * HABITTwitter-0.jpg is an electronic presence, a "ghost in the machine," who can interact directly through Twitter and e-mail.
 * The Rake is one of HABIT's "experiments" similar to Nicholas who is described in the blog post, "A LITTLE ONGOING EXPERIMENT OF MINE."
 * If he is not Slenderman's enemy, HABIT could be a "Slenderproxy" (a term used in other series to mean someone who works for Slenderman.) His habit of writing in all caps has been exhibited by known Slenderproxies in other series. Similarly HABIT's seemingly otherworldy powers make him a "Black Pawn Revanent," another term popularized in other series. They are proxies that the Slenderman has given powers like his own, but weaker.
 * HABIT may have been a former Collective member and then he defected and became more powerful than ever.
 * HABIT's experiment is to try to create a "perfect shell" for him to inhabit.
 * HABIT knows something about/has history with/is connected to the entity Patrick and/or Michael Andersen from MLAndersen0 and knows things about him that make Michael/Patrick enlightened and trained to be strategic around The Slender Man.
 * HABIT is a combination of the souls of the worst serial killers in history.
 * HABIT is an entity that utilizes the Severence/Observer symbol to control people.
