SCP-XXXX. Photo desaturated and redacted to neutralise cognitohazardous effects.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a soundproof, opaque humanoid cell on site-41. Meals are to be supplied thrice daily through an airlock door system. Reasonable requests for living amenities from SCP-XXXX may be submitted through writing, and granted with approval from at least two L3 clearance staff members on the basis of good behavior. Any personnel exhibiting signs of SCP-XXXX's influence are to be administered class-D amnestics and reassigned.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a male, humanoid entity of Caucasian appearance, approximately 1.85 meters in height. SCP-XXXX exhibits a visual cognitohazardous effect, causing affected individuals to perceive it as a celebrity of indeterminate nature, with subjects identifying as fans and attempting to earn SCP-XXXX's recognition. To date recorded attempts have included:

• Requests for a signature
• Absolute belief in all statements made by SCP-XXXX
• Pledges of undying loyalty and subservience

Despite displaying recognition of and fervor towards SCP-XXXX, affected individuals cannot recall specifics regarding their fixation, including SCP-XXXX's name and occupation. When questioned subjects will become defensive and agitated, attributing their confusion to a lapse in memory. Despite universally failing to provide specifics regarding SCP-XXXX's identity, subjects have been shown to adopt suggestive questions and statements as fact.

Dr. C████████: What is his name and occupation?
D-XXXX02: Come on, you know, he's famous! I'm not an idiot. What kind of joke is this?
Dr. C████████: Apologies. So you said you were a fan of Tom Cruise?

Dr. C████████: That's actually a picture of Justin Bieber.

Dr. C████████: Your concern is appreciated, D-XXXX03. Please also unlock the tablet in front of you.
[ D-XXXX03 unlocks the tablet.]
D-XXXX03: I dunno what experiment you're doing here doc, but it's the same kid as before. And before you ask it ain't Justin Timberlake either.
Dr. C████████: Thankyou, D-XXXX03. The test is concluded.
Closing Statements: Desaturation and partial redaction appear to have nullified SCP-XXXX's effects. This will serve as the portrait for SCP-XXXX's database entry.

Addendum XXXX/A.2: Request note from SCP-XXXX's cell
The following note was presumably written by SCP-XXXX, and was found during routine meal provision.

To whomever may find this,
My name is Dr. White. I am an esteemed researcher at your facility, however for unknown reasons I have been confined to this cell. I was scheduled for visitation on the 30th of August 2018, however before I could enter a number of blindfolded men accosted me, and I was imprisoned here. Please inform your superiors of this injustice, and have me freed as soon as possible.
Regards,

Dr. White
