hc dump? hc dump, this ain't our first rodeo, so let's go!

>born to upper class family, made up of bethany and fredrick martin‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ in milford, delware--the couple having separated when eugene was‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ pretty young, freddie never really being apart in the small child's life.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >after the divorce, bethany martin, an inspiring politician, moved ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ to seattle with her kid in tow. due to her work within the community,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ mostly in anti-conduit organizations, was quickly offered a role in‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ city council. eventually, she became the city's local representative.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >when eugene lashed out at school, when his conduit gene be‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ -came active, augustine offered her a deal: allow them to whisk‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ him off to curdan cay, and they would cover up the ordeal entirely.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ knowing this incident could harm her career, she, of course, agreed.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>as far as the public knows, eugene was just another helpless victim‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ that'd been killed, not the conduit himself. (though, rumors did still fly.)‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >to this day, bethany still 'mourns' the 'loss' of her child, now using‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ his apparent death as apart of her usual anti-conduit propaganda.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >feeling betrayed, once he escaped curdan cay, now free, he‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ dropped the martin name entirely, deciding on 'eugene sims'.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>he hasn't decided if he'll ever go public against his mother,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ considering his preference to stay behind the scenes, but…‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >at the least, he has a new family now, in delsin, and fetch.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>naturally, he has some lasting scars, both physical and mental, from curdun cay‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ and their experiments, being used as a training tool for other conduits, basically.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >most notably, two circular burn marks sit on either temple, with lightning-esque‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ scars branching out from it. going across his face, and down both sides of his‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ body. this was because of the electrified chair that was often used during long‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ days to continue forcing out his abilities, pushing him further and further.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>a few other issues developed because of this, such as‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ occasional seizures, memory issues, and a slight stutter.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >his powers are replication-based, shaping hard-light certain‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ objects/entities that’ve been mentally recorded, now re-played.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ such as his angels/demons, wings, swords, etc etc, which are‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ all based off things from heaven’s hellfire, a video game, ofc.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >he can also travel through screens, and make mini replica‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ worlds based off what’s displayed, pulling people into them.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >minorly, he can copy faces and voices from videos, too.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>his form/body in general can flicker and glitch, he seems‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ almost slightly too animated compared to his surroundings.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>in the early years of curdun cay, eugene was actually rather close‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ with celia penderghast, or. well, as close as two people could get,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ in their situation anyway. neighboring cells, slipped notes, etc etc.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >he was heartbroken by her apparent death, and now that he’s‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ aware she’s actually alive, has been trying to track her down.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >delsin gave him one of the paper doves she’d left behind.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>there's a stray cat that comes and goes from eugene's dominion, a little calico‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ with a bob tail. he's affectionally named them 'hethoenne' or 'hethie', a reference‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ to a character from heaven's hellfire. they usually appear on cold or rainy days,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ curling up in his lap as he plays games or works on programming/hacking jobs.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>The Gang(tm) regularly ends up in news coverage and in general‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ the media spot-light quite a bit, helping conduits and what not. eugene‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ofc, isn't. the biggest fan of this, and tries to step back, allowing delsin‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ and fetch the spotlight. to the point most people aren't even aware what‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ he looks like, outside of his he who dwells form, only used during battles.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >people still ask about him though, a bit curious, so. delsin and fetch,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ respecting eugene's wishes, have started making up the most random‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ shit about him, see what people actually believe, you know? asdfghjkl‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>augustine and eugene had… a weird relationship, in augustine's‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ eyes it was almost maternal. she saw it as a necessary evil, it was‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ for their own good, for young conduits like eugene, or celia. teaching‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ them, protecting them, raising them, that's how she saw it, anyway.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ >eugene did see his parts of his actual mother in augustine too,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ but not in a good way, of course. he was always terrified of her.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>a random funfact/hc abt gene that isn't rlly important, but i think ‏‏‎ ‎ is kinda funny anyway: the schools gene went to growing up were,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‏‏‎ ‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ like. rich kid catholic schools, y'know? the really really private ones.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

>ur random mini hc of the day: heaven’s hellfire, aka the game eugene’s rlly into + ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ his powers are based on, is like. a mix of world of warcraft and league of legends.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‎

>a silly/mini hc abt eugene: his eyes are sort of? screen-like? they can display‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ different things, basically! some examples being: tv static, usually when using‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ his powers. a blue/crash screen, usually when caught off guard. X’s or swirls‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ when tired, injured, or otherwise dazed. hearts when he’s fanboying about ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ something, etc etc. idk it’s not like… anything important, but i think it’s cute.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
