Authors' Resources

Per the greenlighting policy, first-time authors must get concepts reviewed in the Ideas Critique Forum or IRC chatrooms before creating a feedback thread in the Drafts and Critique forum. Draft critique can still be sought via IRC and PM without greenlights.

When you have a draft that you know for sure the audience will like, bring it to Drafts Critique Forum. Please note that the forums move much slower than the chat, and the draft forum moves slower than the ideas forum!

The mainsite-run IRC chatrooms are the most reliable source of real-time critique discussion.

SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 20x20x5 metered room, with the walls being 1.5 meters thick and made of lead. The cell is to be monitored by four Night vision cameras, each surrounding the for corners of the cell, and is to be flooded by Black-lights each 24 hours of each day. A backup generator is to power these Black-lights in case of an power outage.The door that allows entrance into SCP-XXXX's cell is to be guarded by two Level-4 Security Guards wearing heat proof amour, and are to escort SCP-XXXX when needed.
In case of a breach attempt, the Guards are to freeze the door using Liquid-Nitrogen and then are to shine 16 Gigawatt Black-lights into the entrance chamber, and then are to immediately reach the nearest breach shelter and have MTF units on standby to re-contain SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is humanoid in appearance but with a heavy cloak of unknown origin. SCP-XXXX face is concealed by a mask, with it’s eyes the color black and with no reflection of any light. SCP-XXXX’s is roughly 1.8 meters tall, with a shroud of dark mist constantly forming under its waist and surround him in a three meter area.

SCP-3507 is free to roam the facility, with two Level-4 escorts to shine Black-lights on it to weaken it’s powers. Over the time, SCP-3507 has gained immunity towards Black-lights, and is able to now walk with some difficulty in them.

When approached 5 meters away from SCP-XXXX, four instances of SCP-XXXX will form on each corner from the black mist, the instances being referred to SCP-XXXX-1. These instances, called Guards from Foundation Personnel, are similar in appearance to SCP-XXXX, but with red eyes instead of black. If still approached, the guards will pull out a double-bladed weapon, with the blades having a core of solid black and a core of red. The heat temperature of the blades are similar to that of plasma. If sill approached until less then 3 meters away from it, the guards will attack the target, causing it to be charred and burned until killed.

This only happens with organic matter unless you throw something towards SCP-XXXX. (See Addendum 3507-1)

If wanted to be spoken to, two instances of SCP-XXXX, referred to as SCP-XXXX-2, will form from the black mist, these instances will have yellow eyes instead of black, and will answer questions that are approved to answer by SCP-XXXX.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered in Russia, ██████, where reports were notified to the SCP Foundation about a strange man with black mist coming off of him, and where it’s shadow was darker then the night. A MTF unit was sent to discover it, but lost contact upon coming within three meters of it. That was when a man shined a black-light on it, there by rendering it unable to move. The man was able to be contained, and was escorted to Site-██.

Addendum XXXX-1
One Class-D, Caucasian Male, is instructed to throw a metal cube at SCP-XXXX. Upon passing the 5 meter mark, the SCP-3507-1 instances formed and disintegrated the cube with the weapons. Then came towards the Class-D and attacked him until he was charred and terminated. Then the went back to SCP-3507 and melted into the black mist

SCP-XXXX-2: English and Latin.
Dr. Griseo: What are those weapons called that you’re “Guards” use?

Dr. Griseo: Okay then, that is all.
Dr.Griseo leaves the room as the SCP-XXXX-2 instances dissolve into the black mist

The origin of SCP-XXXX is still a mystery and is still taking place in Russia, ██████. It is to be noted that SCP-XXXX does take a interest in SCP-███ and will often try to go towards it, even though it’s in a restricted area. It is requested to have more security on SCP-███ cell while SCP-XXXX wonders the facility when granted. Many time's SCP-XXXX has requested to go to Salar de Uyuni and be released. The request was stated by SCP-XXXX-2
