==Biography==
=== LIFE ON TERRA ===
Long Before he was known as Evilness, he simply went by his Birth name, Ethan Finley. We'll continue on his Biography referring him as Evilness, though he has not yet earned this Name. Evilness was born in Verse-2, a Universe quite different from ours. For one, Earth continued to be called Terra, even hundreds of years later. In this Version of Earth, there also existed other race of Sentient Humanoids, the Mangus (Mushroom People). Go to Verse-2's Page to Learn more about that Alternate Earth.
Evilness worked as a Warehouse Worker, Lifting Cargo and Keeping track of Incoming Shipments; a Job Evilness did not like, but appreciated for having. Not all was bad, for that was just a Job. Off-Work, Evilness spent the time Writing his Novel, Agent Fire. The first of Three books in a Series he had planned. He was not known, sense the Book never got published, but he had done some Fanfictions in the past, getting quite the Attention on the Internet. Which he did when he felt like it, writing Several Fan Stories of Red vs. Blue, a show he watched in this Universe. It should be noted that RvB was different in this Verse, having 20 Seasons, Andy the Bomb a Villain, and even featuring Jenkins on Blue Team from the very start. 
Evilness would also be very different from the Ethan we all know, for he wasn't as intertwined with other Universes and Projects, finding Red vs. Blue was all he needed. He made by, living off what he made from Work and relaxed writing and watching his Favorite Show, until that...Nice Sunny Day.
=== THE DEVICE, VERSES AND HIS GUILT ===
One day, Evilness and a few of his Co-Workers; took a hiking trip up Mount Spacael; where Evilness would discover something...peculiar. On the shores of the River that laid down from the Mountain, was an Object. Becoming curious, Evilness dug it up, quickly realizing what it was. Somehow, Evilness found a Time-Portal Gun, which he originally believed to be a Replicate, despite it sharing every single detail. Upon finding it, he brought it back to his Co-Workers, finding them Curious, but not entirely Entertained, for they had not watched or even heard of Red vs. Blue. While Evilness began to fiddle with it, accidently powering it on by placing his finger on the Shuffle Button.
Once it casted a Teal Colored Portal, where his Co-Workers became fascinated and surprised by this, as well as Evilness, quickly becoming Enticed and Confused. He actually began to think this WAS a Time-Portal Gun. But becoming curious too, wondering why the Portal was Teal, instead of Pink. While his Co-Workers talked this over, Evilness could not restrain himself, entering the Portal, along with the Tool of course. Once he went through, he was met by the sight of what he desired. Crash Site Bravo. He was fascinated, but also confused, since Donut Holes should only do Time Travel. Before he could figure anything out, he was met by the Reds and Blues. He was quickly met by Washington, who interrogated him. Instead of Fear or Such, Evilness was straight up geeking out, concerning the Red and Blues. Eventually, he used the Time-Portal Gun once more and traveled to a Later Season. Evilness came to see the the Reds and Blues fighting Andy in Season 20.
Just as he decided to leave, Andy the Bomb had fallen where he did in the show, but now...a Portal laid, casting Andy into the Verses. Evilness would be unaware of this for a long time. Next, Evilness moved along the Verses, which ones? We don't know. With the exception of one, The Menacing 7's lair. They would discover this and conclude that he was a Threat. Evilness moved onto a Verse Jumping and Time Traveling Spree, taking great Enjoyment and Treasures. Eventually, he returned to his own Verse, to show his Co-Workers and Family about his Journey. However, he found something else. Something more Dreadful.
His Home Universe, was Destroyed. The very Environment and People around him Disappeared and Fragmented, even the Sky becoming Purple and Cracked, seeing what appeared to be Red Starlights. He would discover it was Tens of years later then when he was previously, the Verse had been liked this for Years; and in that time, there were tales of a Man in Red; carrying a Mystical Device, one that caused this Mess. Quickly, Evilness was Surrounded and Insulted, being called various things, one that stood out to him was Evilness, a name he would adapt after this incident. In Fear, Confusion, and Ungodly Amounts of Guilt, Evilness left his Demolished Universe, spanning across a Verse Tunnel, the only time Evilness and the Time-Portal Gun would ever do.
Evilness never knew how long he was there, but it was longer than he should've been. The Time-Portal Gun losing the Ability to Time Travel, causing the Time-Portal Gun to lose charge and Receiving Verse Trauma, something that would not affect him until Years Later...
=== DEFENDERS FOR HIRE ===
Some Time Later, Evilness came to a decision to leave the Verse Tunnel, unsure where he would land. He would arrive in the Verse known as the Cracked-verse, most commonly referred to as Verse-1. There, he wandered, discovering there was in fact others there, Humans, Robots, Orcs and More. Soon, he wanted to return to Verse-2, to see if he could help anyone who was left, but found that the Time-Portal Gun no longer responded. Evilness realized that he was stuck, forever in this Verse until further notice. However, before breaking down or anything of the sort, he was met with two Strangers, people by the names of Sun-lord and Sheila. They introduced themselves as Members of the Defenders for Hire, a Group they had just Formed with two others, Mate and Roxanne. The reason they had approached was because they detected Versal Energy him and assumed he was a Lost verser, much like themselves.
Evilness answered them, telling the two that he traveled Verses with Device; but it has since stopped working. Sun-lord offered to help him, something Evilness refused at first, but shortly realized that once the Gun was working again, he could return to Verse-2 like he planned before. He accepted it. Originally, he was supposed to be helped, but one thing lead to the other, becoming a Full Member of D.F.H., taking a liking to helping those of this Verse. Eventually, he would get close with Sheila, the two obviously having a possible romantic relationship, one everyone else thought would happen. Even though Guilt remains, he felt Better, now more Alive and Full, having Friends and people he can trust. As a Defender, Evilness learned Caring for Plasma Tech and Driving, taught to him by Sheila. 
At this time, Defenders for Hire met a man by the name of Bucky, someone would play a Bigger part in CrossOver!!! and Collection Three. He was their most trusted ally out of the Defenders, giving Tech, Locations, and event Knowledge of Verses. Bucky would also give them their Ship, one that had the Ability to travel Verses, but did in fact require Many Plasma Fuel and time in between each Jump. Bucky took more of a liking to Evilness, due to his Adventure of the verses, believing he would be a Useful Comrade against Moeszu. The two would stay in Contact beyond his time as a Defender. Bucky would also help Evilness with his Time-Portal Gun, fixing it. Well, traveling Verses that was. It was converted to take Plasma to Recharge, something that came often for this group. However, as all good things come to an End, so did Evilness and the Defenders' Reputation. 
===THE EXCURSED WAR===
While returning from a Recently Successful Mission, the Defenders for Hire received a Message, people we're pleading with them to help anyway they can ganist a Deadly Force. Of course, they agreed to it. When they arrived to their Location, they were met with hundreds of Mushroom People. While Sun-lord, Sheila, and Roxanne talked with their Tribe Leader, Evilness and Mate wondered their Camp, where Evilness became uneasy. He quickly realized this was the famous Magnus Tribe back on his Home Verse, The Magnus Harmony. They were famous for being the Largest and most Peaceful Magnus group of Terra. Evilness became Numb, assuming they were here due to his Manipulation on Time and Space. Once more, he began to feel Guilty and considered verse Jumping away, wishing he wasn't here.
But then, Evilness realized he needed to help them, he had to make up for his Mistakes, well...the best he could anway for these People. Now, they were at War, forging Weapons and Training for a force the Defenders learned were called the Scholar Heroes in Time. The Tribe Leader explained that they first arrived to Maxwell Shore, after leaving their own Universe, which began to Dismantle. Believing a Man in Red with a Device caused it, becoming Defensive and Cautious whenever Evilness is nearby, assuming he could be a Culprit for that Destruction. When they discovered the Scholars discovered unknown people began to move in on their Shores, they became Concern. And that Concern, lead to Suspicious, causing the first Event in this War, The Genocide on Maxwell. Where the Scholars began to attack first, killing tens of Magnus People. This drove the remaining Members to move to this Beach Side, which they simply called Sandy Candy Shores (due to some rocks looking like Candy of their Culture). 
Magnus Harmony knew the Scholars would follow them ,so they prepared for War, making Weapons they thought they never needed to do. They asked for the Defenders Help', due to their history of fighting Battles, in return, they Tribe will give them all the Treasure they have. However, only Evilness and Sheila wanted to help these people the best they could fro Free, but he Deal was made. In fact, they had already given them their Valuables, making Mate very happy. It was unknown when they would invade, Days went by, causing Sun-lord to think that maybe once they left their property, they didn't want to waste more Resources on these People. However, he was wrong. An Week and Half Later, they finally Struck. At the dead of Night, when most were asleep or working, Shit hit the Fan. Explosions and Gunfire roared across the Area, awaking everyone. The Defenders quickly prepared, Ready for a Fight. This Event would be known as The Excursed War, one that destroyed both sides. 
By the time Morning came, it seemed like the Magnus and Scholars both had a chance to win, thanks to the help of the Defenders, who were more Combat Ready then their Clients. However, this is where everything fell apart. As the Defenders became ever so exhausted and wounded, they began to Retreat to their Ship, assuming the War would've been lost and didn't wish to risk their own Lives. Sheila and Evilness at first, were against it, but as they followed with the Plan, Sheila was wounded, leaving her to be crippled and left behind. As Evilness and Roxanne realized she wasn't with them they attempted to find her, but once seeing ehr from a Distance and nearly killed by Burn, she quickly and mysteriously disappeared, appearing as if she was disintegrated. In that moment of Anger and Loss, Evilness and Roxanne pushed into the Fight, nearly killing Burn. Once his Adrakline began to fade, Evilness realized there was nothing for him. No Hope, No Sheila, No End to his Guilt. He left the War, teleporting elsewhere, leaving the Defenders to leave on their own. Unknown to him, but he did assume, Evilness wasn't there to see the Scholars win, believed to kill every Member, except one.
===TRAVELING THE VERSES===
Once more, Evilness casted himself into the Verse Tunnels, running away from his Guilt and Sadness, however, his Time-Portal Gun would not along it, causing serious Mental and Physical Damage to him, on top of his Verse Trauma. Unknown to him, he was shortly pushed out of the Tunnels by an Unknown Force. If he was in there longer, he could've died. When Evilness awoke, he discovered he was taken care by two people he did not know, Eric Delfingh and his Daughter, Van. They explained they had found him greatly wounded by their Home and healed back to Health. Evilness simply thanked them and tried to leave using his Time-Portal Gun once he got it back, but couldn't. The Charge had fallen low and could not work without Plasma Energy. Evilness asked Eric and Van if they had Plasma Energy to spare, but Eric explained that they had none at the moment, due to their Shipment of Plasma being raided by Vampire Soldiers. Unsure what to do and unable to even make his own Way in life, Evilness offered to help them retrieve it if possible. They were pleased, but didn't simply sit around and waited to see if their patient was successful. Both readied their Weapons and showed Evilness where they believed these Thugs were at. 
Just as they hoped, Eric, Van, and Evilness found their Camp and attacked, proving to one another each of them were Skillful Soldiers. In the End, they succeeded their Guest, retrieving Plasma Energy, plus some. Evilness took as much as he needed to enter the Verse Tunnels. He said his Thanks and Goodbye to the two, only if he truly felt better about himself, but Sheila and the War continued to plague his Mind. Once he attempted to enter the Verse Tunnels, Evilness discovered he still couldn't and as he considered staying in this Verse which he currently did not know the name of, he was met by a familiar face, Bucky. Surprised and fairly excited, Evilness talked with him and learned very important information. Bucky explained who he really was, a Verse Historian, someone who watched over the Verses and recorded the History of who they watch. Evilness had no believed at first, but Bucky proved it by revealing his true form and transporting himself and Evilness to his own Home.
Bucky, revealing his true name was Balu Clucky Mann' San, was able to persuade Evilness to believe him and he didn't care. Why would he? Evilness no longer wanted to take part in anything Bucky had planned, but he changed his decision once Bucky mentioned Sheila. He explained that Sheila was one of many People affected by a Versal Error, one that torn Inhabitants from their Verses and placed them somewhere else, by complete random. Sheila and others would be able to be tracked own and brought back to their Verses (if they were alive), but in order to do that, Bucky knew of several Verse-breaking Elements that could've caused this Issue and had prevented such tracking to be done, leading Bucky to believe there is someone behind this madness. Evilness agreed to help, specifically to help Sheila. Now, what happens after is unsure. Evilness, Bucky, and a few others went after these Anomalies, but how long was Evilness at this, we don't know. But Evilness gained a lot knowledge about Verses, Andy's Arrival to Verse-1, and even stuff that weren't important.
In that time, Evilness adapted a new look and on one of these Missions, got wounded, leading him to be nearly blind in his Left Eye. Whatever it was that made him do it, Evilness was drawn to Verse-1 in his free time, helping People. He had also met back with the Defenders, well...who was left, Sun-lord and Roxanne. While Sun-lord was pleased to see him again, Roxanne was Upset, even furious about Evilness' Leave like that during the War. Shortly, the three went to a Swamp Village and helped them fend off Orc Invaders. Even after that, Roxanne didn't trust him. Sun-lord continued to be friendly to their old friend. When the two talked to one another, Evilness learned from his former boss that a former S.H.I.T. Member was being hunted down by Scholar Soldiers. Feeling to make up for the War, Evilness chose to help him instead of Sun-lord and Roxanne. He would meet with...Davie.
===A GUN'S SOUL?=== 
Mostly Seen "A Gun's Soul, Part 3", "A Gun's Soul? Trilogy", and "Exposition, Pt. 1"
In Verse-1, Evilness would be sent to meet Davie Alveolus, someone who pleaded for the Defenders' Help. Evilness learned from Sun-lord that Davie had made contact with them before his betrayal to the Scholar Heroes in Time. He requested the group to pick him up at the Snowed Cliffs of Death, somewhere he thought S.H.I.T. wouldn't find him. Davie had taken several Sentient Weapons, something Scholar experimented with. Evilness would go to the Snowed Cliffs of Death, to find Davie was not there, curious about what happened to him, Evilness was able to come across Jeep tracks, where he found a Scholar Security Guard named Chick, though Evilness would not know this for some time. He followed him back to a fellow named Stu, another S.H.I.T. Member. There, he kept back and watched the two, shortly coming across someone he would shortly know as Player. Apparently, Player had came across one such Weapon and was met with Chick and Stu. 
In the moment, Evilness spontaneously attacked the two to protect Player and the weapon, in the chaos, Evilness accidently killed Chick. Something everyone thought, but as we'll see in "The Lost Essence", only Chick's Physical Form was killed. Evilness called Player and the gun over to him, where he took them and himself to another Verse, one that was a Prearrange Mesh, something he had recently learned about from Bucky. There, he introduces himself as Ethan, in hopes to reduce fear or caution to Player and the Weapon; because he assumed Evilness would drive them off. The weapon, who will be known as Gun, realzies this may be the same Ethan who the Scholars are looking to kill. Evilness explains to them that he broke time and possibly space, leading Player and Gun to be confused. As he begins to talk about his mistakes, he suddenly sees someone in the distance., telling Player to get down and hide, just in case.

== Personality==
This Covers Many Points Already Seen in Biography
Overall, Evilness maintains the same Personality across his Appearances, being a Guilt-driven Soldier looking to help anyone he can for the Crimes he believed he caused. Before he went by Evilness, Ethan Finley was kind-hearted and creative, looking to become a well-known author or celebrity. As we know, that all came crashing down when he found the Time-Portal Gun. Believing he ruined his Universe, Evilness cowarded with the Verse Tunnels and due to immense Pressure and Mental Corruption Verse Traveling can do for long periods of time, Evilness was not himself anymore, simply one who punished himself for what he did. This would make him who he is today, with the exception of one more defenstantiting Blow to his will. Coming across the Defenders for Hire, Evilness too ka liking to one member, Sheila and practically fell in love. 
That brought him back just well enough to live with the Guilt, but then came the day Sheila disappeared, sending Evilness into a deeper hole. With the help of others overtime and the idea to save Sheila from an unknown force, Evilness was once more dedicated to helping others and making up for his mistakes, which seemed to grow over the years. Evilness would become Kind, if not Wise, when he meets with his Alternate Self once more after the IKEA Incident.

===PRODUCTION=== 
*The Entire Idea of Evilness and his Verse Travels, was based on a Pre-SAMSS Video Idea, where Ethan, The Slimed Artist came across this Time-Portal Gun and traveled different Universes of Halo Machinimas he watched, messing around and such. It would be Scrapped, but eventually as SAMSS became a thing and evolved as it went on, the Idea was brought back and changed heavily, becoming the most, if not, Defining Moment in SAMSS Lore.
* Evilness initially had Fender as his last Name, but it was changed to support more of the Alternate Version factor of things, since he and Ethan Fender share little similarities.
*Evilness' Snap-On Shoulder Armor was based on Production Mistakes, where his Shoulders appear to repeatedly switch in between Scenes. So, it was added an in-universe reason, A Snap-On Shoulder Armor, which Evilness oftenly switches between both his Shoulders, depending on what he's doing. Right Side or Off whilst Chilling, when it's on his Left; it's for Combat, protecting the Left Side of him; due to him having less focus on his Left Side because his Damaged Left Eye.
