Showbit - The Agony
āHey now, this is a family show. So how about you tell our audience a little about yourself?ā
Unique Iterated Trait - Pocket World
Showbit has the unique pleasure of having full access to a little pocket world he can control, which goes about as well as you would think for a Habit. He uses it to host his game show āTraumathonā, dragging humans into it to torture, but every now and then heāll drag down the occasional Habit.
Backstory
A Habit with big ambitions, Showbit was more than happy to start forcing his host Jack into committing atrocities for his own sick pleasure. Of course, his host wasnāt going to take that lying down. Much like the average Evan, he was going to fight his Habit with everything he had, and he managed to completely handicap him by pulling his own canine teeth and nails out, essentially declawing Showbit.
Showbit didnāt take it well.
He took over and started subjecting Jack to all kinds of physical and psychological torture to break him entirely. Sure, it hurt for him to experience, since they share a body, but it was all worth it in the end when he drove Jack completely off the deep end.
So, whatās a Habit to do when they have a host they can puppet around completely and an entire iteration to play with? Well, for this egotistical narcissist, it meant getting as many people to watch him being a menace as possible. What? Heās not compensating for anything, who told you that?
Of course, like a surprising amount of Habits, he eventually bit off more than he could chew, and for him, that happened a lot sooner than most. He āinvitedā Centralia onto his show, and it turns out, the pipsqueak was a lot tougher than Showbit makes himself seem. On the bright side, Centralia wanted nothing more than a father figure. On the not so bright side? Showbit did not want a kid. Ever. Ugh!
