Eugene

Eugene is an American middle-aged man and the main antagonist of the Life of Luxury video, “It replaces her father at night” also known as "It was hiding in the closet.."

## **Appearance**

Eugene appears to be an exceptionally tall middle-aged man with long dark hair and pale skin. As stated by his wife, Kathryn, his face appears to be pulled and stretched over his skull by something at the back. His eyes appear black and hollow, with his mouth always hanging open and loose. In the video, he wears a long-sleeved sweater and black pants with stains. At night, he wears the underwear and bra from his daughter. His skin appears to be constructed out of multiple bodies, with feminine legs and longer arms, and overall different skin tones throughout the video. His face seems to have been crudely made from the face of his daughter or a long-haired male, with the lips having been poorly made, giving a plastic-like appearance. His eyes also seem to not line up with his facial skin.

## Background And Personality

Prior to the video, it's explained that Eugene had lots of charisma and a genuinely good personality. It can be assumed that he was a good father and husband prior to the video's events. After his visit to the Men’s group, he returned to his home through the woods, without his car. His personality severely degraded, as did his body. He became obsessed on furthering his body, making him perfect. From an attractive, happy, and loving husband, Eugene turned into a sadistic and emotionless psychopath, who longed to make the perfect body. Eugene spent his days in the basement, probably experimenting with the black goo or all the meat husks we can see in the video.

## Eugene's enhanced form

Eugene's current form appears to be that of a humanoid creature with white eyes and a gaping mouth, long fingers and no legs, and a seemingly enlarged abdomen. He appears to be covered in a gooey, black substance, which allows it to assimilate its targets without stress and slip into the skin costumes it makes.

## abilities

* Body assimilation: Eugene can supernaturally climb inside and take control of human beings.
* Bone Construction: Eugene appears to posses the ability to form bones and nerve tissue, as shown when the supposedly empty skin of Eugene's daughter begins to swivel and crack, implying that bones are being put into the suit.
* Separation: Eugene can detach fragments of himself to take control of another human being. This process is demonstrated against Kathryn, and is likely used to better take the skin off the target.
* Bodily control: Eugene has complete control over his skin suit, which allows him to display feats that normal humans cannot, such as moving his body in unrealistic ways, and more.
* Surgical knowledge: Eugene is shown to understand human anatomy and can perform surgeries on his body, also displayed once he drafts new body parts and skin onto himself. Though he's not very skilled in this as shown when his decaying skin constantly falls off.
* Twisting: Eugene can twist his body backwards, like a spider

## Trivia

* Eugene bears a striking resemblance to the Bal Bal, a creature capable of taking recently dead beings under its control.
* Eugene’s character is similar to the character Doctor Benton from *Supernatural*. He was a doctor from the 1800s that found a way to immortality by finding new body parts and replacing his own. This is similar to Eugene's own process.
* Eugene is very similar to the alien shown in the 2019 sci fi horror, Sputnik, in which an alien takes enters a symbiotic relationship with its user. The alien secreted a similar goo which allowed it to easily take control of the user without causing him pain. However, the substance was translucent instead of black.
* Eugene enters the house from a seemingly bottomless hole in the ground leading to the basement, given the fact that his basement has chains on it.
* It can be assumed that Eugene, at some point in his life, was a surgeon or medical doctor. He is good at removing the skin and scalp of his daughter and making it into a wearable husk.
* The creature in the video is likely an enhanced version of Eugene, and they are likely the same beings.
