## Biography

### Creating the Celestial Spear

Eugene Finch is one of the world's most famous hypnotists and was in frequent competition with rival hypnotist Leland Bore.

Eugene and Sharron Lutz, a fellow occultist and close acquaintance, began to explore the field of necromancy and the possibility of manipulating the spirits of the deceased. Eugene had often heard from others of their anxiety towards death and their fears of the unknown, so he wanted to provide a way to let people experience the afterlife without the permanency of death. Eugene's pet cat Felix had recently died, so he and Sharron attempted necromancy on Felix's spirit. They successfully managed to transfer Felix's spirit into an animatronic body, in which he was able to communicate through spoken language and aid Eugene with his humanoid body.

Eugene continued working on his project, while also using his necromancy to perform seances for the public. His new performing act contributed to a waning interest in the art of hypnotism, leading to Leland Bore's loss in popularity. Leland became resentful and discovered that Eugene's project could be instead exploited for monetary gain.

Eventually, Eugene had fully constructed the Gareville in a metaphysical plane known as the Noosphere and had hired various talents to perform their individual passions to customers. The talents his scout had hired included director Anne Daction, circus performer Harvey Hornswoggle, animatronic designer Anna Log, jousting announcer Albert, virtual reality operator Aeris, Sharron Lutz, and barista Joebeans. However, Leland decided to act on his capitalist desires and took over the project, erasing the memories of all the talents and providing them with new names through the signing of a contract. Leland also erased the memory of Eugene, and partially the memories of the Drawtectives, who arrived aboard the Celestial Spear with Eugene.

### Uncovering the Mystery

Completely unaware of anything, Eugene was greeted by the Drawtectives, who quickly adopted him as their honorary son. Rosé had found a note in her pocket with the name "Eugene" written on it, and by chance guessed that that was his name. Eugene figured he would follow York, Grandma, and Rosé as they made their way through the Celestial Spear's 1st Class car.

He followed the Drawtectives into their first experience, and near-immediately left the group in order to spin a camera around. He then went over to the snack table and ate some sandwiches, and left the room again with York, Grandma, and Rosé.

After watching the Ticket Taker take a person's ticket, he pushed everyone into the second experience. There he established his familial connection to York, Grandma, and Rosé, and ran into the circus excitedly. Inside, he had a fun time watching the Drawtectives draw Harvey Hornswoggle's acts. He was given a business card for Tallon Tscoutt, who works for **Eugene Finch** as Harvey informed the Drawtectives of how well known Eugene was around the circus.

Once the group left the second experience, they entered the third with the intention of being allowed to stay, and not being forced back into the main hallway. Eugene was disallowed from seducing the owner of the next establishment. There, he learned that his pre-memory loss self was the person who had contract negotiations with VIP Experience tenants. Once the group decided it was best to leave, they discovered a newspaper about Eugene's career as a psychic.

## Personality

Eugene is sometimes quite timid, as he was often very confused on account of having no memory. He is apprehensive to make many decisions. However, other times, he shows a happy childlike innocence and is easily entertained. As the series went on, Eugene became more ambitious, pushing the Drawtectives into the second experience, and taking the initiative to read *The Royal Times*. He is very kind at heart and willing to go to extreme lengths to help others.

## Appearance

Eugene is a human with black hair swept to his right. He has a small amount of pink eyeliner at a sharp point on both of his eyes.

### Clothing

* Purple cloak with star-patterned undercoat
* Black, golden striped shawl
* Golden chains

## Trivia

* Eugene's name is based on the word "engine" and the folkloric association between finches taking souls to the afterlife.
* Eugene was the first character created for Season 2, as Julia posted a tweet back in 2019 that she had begun designing characters for Season 2, along with an early design of Eugene.
* Eugene is one of the two characters on the initial promotional poster for Season 2. The other being the Ticket Taker.
* According to a Drawfee stream on 11/29/21, Eugene was originally supposed to be a very sad, sultry character, rather than goofy and childlike.
* Eugene is associated with the color teal, as opposed to Leland Bore's purple. He is also associated with the imagery of moons and cats, which can be seen in various backgrounds, such as in the Harvey Hornswoggle Circus and in Moon Hoot.
* Eugene likes pickles.
* He dislikes spicy food, and especially hot gazpacho soup, which is his least favourite soup.
* Eugene is a lefty.
* Eugene appears to have bad luck with dice, losing dice throws in both S2E05 and S2E06.
* According to Julia during a Drawfee stream on 07/25/22, Eugene has a rib tattoo.
* Eugene's character was developed as a way to catch things the players didn't and to move the story along when necessary.
* Eugene's name is often spelled Eugine in select documents due to Leland Bore always misspelling his name.
* Eugene's hair is usually neat and styled, but on the day Season 2 takes place on, he woke up, ran his fingers through his hair, and did not style it otherwise.
* Julia places Eugene's age as approximately thirty, which makes him as older than at least one of his honorary Parents (Rosé, who Karina describes as being in her twenties)
