Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter Neutralized Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is kept in a courtroom, located inside the refurnished courthouse, designated as Site-875, located in █████████, Tennessee. All windows inside the courtroom are to be blocked, preventing sunlight from reaching. SCP-XXXX is allowed free roam. The courthouse has been demolished by the Global Occult Coalition in an attempt to terminate SCP-XXXX. See Incident Log Kami-13. After the incident, SCP-XXXX is currently housed in Site-19.

SCP-XXXX's containment chamber is a small courtroom, measuring 6m x 5m x 3m. Four lanterns are used as light sources, the votive candles should be replaced every 8 hours per day. The outer layers of the containment chamber measured 5 meters thick, and SCP-XXXX can only exit through the hallway. Transporting SCP-XXXX to another site requires an armored vehicle with window blinds, and transportation is to take place at midnight.

SCP-XXXX is under the supervision of a minimum of seven six security personnel authorized with Level 3 clearance at all times. The sixth personnel is tasked with surveillance and security to monitor inside and outside the containment chamber. Once the fifth personnel enters, the entrance will be locked. No other personnel are authorized to enter, but personnel can exit at any time. Security personnel must endure fatigue to stay vigilant for 24 hours1. SCP-XXXX shows hostility when monitored by seven personnel towards number seven. Reasonings are unknown.

SCP-XXXX must abduct criminals when subject is isolated.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cloaked, humanoid apparition identified as a male subject. SCP-XXXX wears a tethered, Musou black cloak that covers 75% of the subject’s body. Only the subject's face, forearms, and black boots are visible. SCP-XXXX has currently agonized from amnesia, dysthymia2, and tension headache.

Due to severe damages caused by UV rays, SCP-XXXX's current physical appearances display 50% of human features such as black hair, ash grey eyes, ears, and pale skin. 50% of SCP-XXXX’s skull (from nasal bone to mandible) and forearms (from distal phalanges to elbow) have been exposed. SCP-XXXX does not open its jaw when using verbal communications.

SCP-XXXX manifests a scythe attached with a shoulder strap to carry, designated as SCP-XXXX-B. The description of SCP-XXXX's victims are criminals who commit felonies, including murder, robbery, assault, etc3. SCP-XXXX reacts to criminal activities that happen currently, and shows aggression towards the targeted criminal.

Subject's Ability: Permeation. Subject is intangible and resistant to gunfire, melee weapons, and physical abuse. SCP-XXXX is unable to permeate through anything 5 meters thick, especially soft materials. SCP-XXXX cannot interact with anything abiotic.

Subject's Ability: Teleportation. SCP-XXXX dematerializes from top to bottom before rematerializing at a different location. SCP-XXXX's maximum teleportation range is assumed to be 6,378.1 km4. There is currently no evidence to prove this theory.

When in physical contact with any subjects or objects, SCP-XXXX is able to teleport and permeate with the subject or object.

Subject's Ability: Telepathy. SCP-XXXX is responsive towards fear and hostility. When detecting hostility, SCP-XXXX will become docile. See Addendum Kami-04. SCP-XXXX does not possess intelligence and is confused when discussing topics. However, it is self educated with its ability to read memories.

Subject's Ability: Regeneration. SCP-XXXX is capable of regenerating damaged parts by adapting to dark areas. SCP-XXXX was unable to regain cells and tissues and is only capable of repairing its skeletal structures.

During daytime (after sunrise), SCP-XXXX will become inactive and later enter the “Zombie State." Referred to as the "Sleepwalking State," SCP-XXXX experiences nocturnal lagophthalmos5 while mindless and will not show hostility when provoked by insults or physical violence. During nighttime (after sunset), SCP-XXXX will become docile, more interactive, and cooperative. Interviews with SCP-XXXX are to take place at midnight.

SCP-XXXX is highly sensitive to the natural light source. When exposed, it will receive severe damages to its cloak and skeletal parts as drawbacks. When exposed to the artificial light source, the subject isn't harmed but is rendered translucent. SCP-XXXX will no longer be translucent when returning to a dark area. SCP-XXXX should not be disturbed in its inactive state by decibels above 100 any level of volume.

Additional Note: SCP-XXXX shows hostility over a flashbang. It's effective enough to make SCP-XXXX docile again. In case of emergency, flashbangs are required to awaken the subject even if the subject dislike the method.

SCP-XXXX is neither an ancient god nor an angel. SCP-XXXX completely lacks other desires and was unable to determine what it wants and when asked about why it targets criminals, SCP-XXXX responded that its actions weren't intentional, but instructional. SCP-XXXX cannot be viewed when photographed or in surveillance and doing so resulted in an image of SCP-XXXX-B suspending in mid-air. Interviews with SCP-XXXX are to be audio recorded only.

SCP-XXXX: …█████ █████… You've committed… robbery…

Criminal: WHERE AM I? AND WHAT ARE YOU?

SCP-XXXX: …You reek of iron… The victim is… A woman…

Criminal: W-What?

SCP-XXXX: …Any last words?…

[SCP-XXXX terminates the subject. A drop can be heard, possibly the sound of the subject's upper body.]

[End Of Recording]

Addendum Kami-01: SCP-XXXX was first discovered after being involved with the "Grim Reaper Case." SCP-XXXX is responsible for worldwide executions. Criminal activities have slightly decreased ever since SCP-XXXX was introduced to the public. Even after its recovery, SCP-XXXX continues to abduct criminals and is currently responsible for the "Missing Person Cases."

Addendum Kami-02: On 01/29/2021, SCP-XXXX was finally recovered from an abandoned courthouse. A field agent spotted four children entering the courthouse, and upon entering, SCP-XXXX is seen showing benevolent behavior towards the children. The children, along with their families, were given Class-A amnestics. The courthouse, SCP-XXXX is housed in, is designated as Site-875.

Addendum Kami-03: Upon examination on one of its victims, internal structures such as veins, muscle tissues, and bones have been exposed. The corpse has not yet secreted blood, it is believed the weapon constructed an invisible barrier. Within two minutes, the victim's corpse finally secrete blood and flooded the body tray.

Addendum Kami-04: SCP-XXXX does not always condemn criminals as it once became docile and protected a bullied victim. The bullied researcher requested SCP-XXXX to stand down and explained that execution is unnecessary. SCP-XXXX cooperated and no one is executed.

Addendum Kami-05: All SCP-XXXX's death counts are referred to as "executions." SCP-XXXX will accept termination tasks if the phrase "execute" is used. SCP-XXXX will not accept if the phrase "terminate" or "neutralize" is used.

Interviewed: [Officer Conway]

Interviewer: [Dr. ████]

[Begin Recording]

[Long silence after the recorder has been turned on]

Conway: What am I doing here?

Dr. ████: We're discussing how you first encountered the grim reaper.

Conway: The grim reaper? Right, what do you want to know?

Dr. ████: From the beginning. Where and when?

Conway: *Sigh*… Last night, I believe it's somewhere on New Years' Eve, me and Kyle were on patrol. We were just sipping coffee until Kyle pointed towards the forest. There was a forest fire. But not the one you see in Australia. It was… purple…

Dr. ████: Purple?

Conway: The fire in the woods, it's purple. We walked into the woods to investigate. There was no sign of the purple fire. Instead… we found the grim reaper.

Dr. ████: What was it doing?

Conway: Nothing actually. We just flash our lights at him and he was sitting there, staring at his arm. He then disappeared and returned, grabbing a man by the neck. He said something about "Ethan Maguire" and "the murder of over 40 women" or something and killed him. We both asked him to put his hands in the air. We both fired our guns, see if that did anything. Thought we killed him, turns out he just disappeared again. We only learned he's resistant to gunfire.

Dr. ████: Then what happened?

Conway: We got out, called the ambulance, and then we realized something odd. There was no fire. It's like there wasn't even a fire in the first place. In the morning, Kyle and I revisited the forest. There are no ashes or burnt wood. Nothing, it's completely normal… Everything just disappeared.

Dr. ████: And about the man who died?

Conway: I still remember that name and everything. During an autopsy, the body was identified as Ethan Maguire. What's strange was that he was just an ordinary citizen, a ██-year-old businessman, and his marital status is single.

Dr. ████: Did Maguire commit any crimes?

Conway: No, there are no criminal records of that man.

Dr. ████: How many cases are there? Recently.

Conway: Six. One of them was about a cloaked figure decapitating someone from the top of a fucking building. And another one, he murdered a mob boss from Italy. After retrieving the bodies, all of his victims matched the criminal database.

Dr. ████: I… see…

Conway: On top of a fucking building! He scared the living shit out of two children and a mother who watched the head fall to the ground.

Dr. ████: Ok, thank you for today.
