Item #: SCP-DS1-J
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-DS1-J is to be kept in a dimly lit cell with light levels no higher than a bonfire (250~ lumens) from fixtures on each corner of the chamber. Light levels can be raised for the purposes of experimentation, but should not be kept any higher than 250~ lumens when inert. SCP-DS1-J-1 and SCP-DS1-J-2 should be left near SCP-DS1-J at all times to prevent SCP-DS1-J from becoming agitated and entering a rage state. Requests to "duel" SCP-DS1-J must be cleared by a researcher with Level 3 Clearance or above, and probably have some experience in swordplay to avoid being humiliated in front of other researchers.
Description: SCP-DS1-J consists of the skeletal remains of an unknown male approximately 183cm tall, a straight sword and a kite shield recovered from ████████ █████ ████████, Michigan, with many indecipherable phrases in white chalk surrounding the corpse. SCP-DS1-J-1 is a kite shield of unknown make, though presumably made around ███ to 1███. SCP-DS1-J-2 is a straight sword also of unknown make, with the same estimate as SCP-DS1-J-1's time of creation. When SCP-DS1-J is alone in its containment chamber, the remains are inanimate.
Upon entering SCP-DS1-J's containment chamber, subjects report feeling the urge to "challenge" SCP-DS1-J. When a formal challenge is issued to SCP-DS1-J, it will become animate and reassemble, save for its head, which it must reattach manually. However, if SCP-DS1-J is challenged by any subjects that are in possession of conventional firearms when challenging SCP-DS1-J, it will return to a dormant state.
In all attempted tests, no subject has ever been able to overpower or defeat SCP-DS1-J. Upon concession of defeat, near-fatal or fatal injury, subjects report hearing the phrase "get good." SCP-DS1-J will then return to the far side of the containment chamber, collapsing and becoming inanimate again. Following hearing the phrase, all injury incurred from fighting SCP-DS1-J will regenerate revert and subjects will exhibit no signs of exhaustion.
If subjects leave the room during the "duel," SCP-DS1-J will not pursue the subject, but instead return to dormancy. Upon doing so, subjects reportedly hear the words "[EXPLETIVE REDACTED] scrub," among various other insults.
In tests where a subject challenged SCP-DS1-J, but had more than one test subject attempting to fight, SCP-DS1-J would not animate. All three test subjects report hearing "Wow, seriously? [MULTIPLE EXPLETIVES REDACTED], [RACIST EXPLETIVE REDACTED]"
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.
