**Shane Shavings** (born November 16, 2003) is a serial killer known for murdering several people in his hometown.

He was frequently bullied during high school, and eventually snapped, murdering his step-parents, and three local kids that were known to torment him. Shortly after this, he was captured and kept in a mental health facility.

Eventually, he managed to escape from the facility and went on a journey to find Nate Williams, a person who strangely had an identical appearance to himself.

After several run-ins with Nate, he gained an admiration and intense obsession with him. However, after repeated shunning, these feelings eventually soured and grew into hatred.

## History

### Creation Event

Shane Shavings was created on July 16, 2021 when Nate Williams used the Spirit Crystal against The Architect who was using the Time Crystal. The resulting collision created multiple timeline duplicates of Nate which included Shane. These duplicates are born normally in a certain place in the timeline, but they did not exist before the creation event. (Nate's Minisodes 30)

### Early Life

Shane Shavings was born on November 16, 2003 in a city in Arkansas.

### Classroom Experiences

Shane was eventually enrolled in a high school class with Dontre Chesterton and Joslyn Bonner.

On September 13, 2021, Dontre's birthday, Shane shared a birthday gift with him. (Dontre's Seventeenth Birthday)

A couple of days later, Shane began to look into Nate Williams. He used a school computer to find Nate's Facebook account and noted that they appeared very similar to one another. (Computer Time)

Another couple of days later, Shane made a birthday card for a classmate named Wiley. (Wiley's Seventeenth Birthday)

### Murder Spree

Shortly afterwards, Shane murdered five people under the guise of The Clown. His victims included both of his step-parents and three of his classmates, who were known to have tormented him regularly.

### Treatment

He was later captured and placed in a mental facility where he had experienced delusions of his high school friends and Nate Williams.

### Escape

On October 12, 2021, Shane managed to escape the mental facility and was still at large as of October 21, 2021 when a public warning was released. (Subject: Shane Shavings)

### Pursuit of Nate Williams

Shane began to search for Nate Williams after his escape from the facility.

On July 8, 2022, Shane managed to locate Nate’s garage. It was here he confronted someone else who looked like Nate, Hunter Larson, who Shane thought was Nate himself at first. Hunter revealed that he was also a timeline duplicate of Nate Williams and that he wanted him dead. Shane was convinced to help with this task. However, he later betrayed and killed Hunter as he had began to like Nate more. (A Tale of Two Duplicates)

On July 29, 2022, he assisted the Door Lord in luring Nate and Carson Millard into a trap. He left after this. (Time Flies, Part One)

In September, Shane noticed a news report about atmospheric disturbances that he believed was connected to Nate. He travelled to the location where this was happening and found a note that Nate had left behind. Shane followed the instructions in the note and attempted to bring Nate back from an alternative dimension which he was lost in. Shane took refuge in Nate’s office while he did this. He eventually fought with The Door Lord here but was saved by Nate when he finally escaped the dimension. Shane left with the ominous note that they would meet again. (The Face of Evil, Part Two)

### Final Fight Against Nate Williams

In 2025, Shane encountered Nate for one last confrontation between the two of them.

## Personality

> I thought about it, but I actually kinda like you now.

> Shane Shavings to Nate Williams when asked if he’s planning on killing him

Shane can be described as having a very flippant personality. He frequently changes how he behaves to suit the environment he finds himself in.

> Not anymore. Now I’m free.

> Shane Shavings when he’s referred to as The Clown

He also has a deep connection with his mask, which he refers to as “The Clown.” While he still has murderous tendencies without it, the clown mask works as a conduit through which he can fully embrace this part of his being and feel safe doing so. However, it later seemed that he began to suppress this side of him as he stopped wearing the mask and killing people only when necessary.
