Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is let to reside in a 7m x 7m room and should be provided with a bed and some art instruments. It shows no hostility even when provoked. SCP-XXXX not to be allowed to leave it's room without authorization to avoid unwanted instances of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX is to be provided three meals a day. Only female personnel are allowed inside its room.

Description: SCP-XXXX resembles an adolescent black-haired human male around seventeen to nineteen years of age. It does not go by a name and responds to any nickname.

SCP-XXXX was first discovered following a series of incidents of the same person being found dead thrice in a decade and was caught by a police officer that was investigating the case before being secured by the foundation. SCP-XXXX did not resist containment. It has confessed to possess no memory of any family with the exception of few friends whose names it couldn't remember.

Observation results have determined that SCP-XXXX can indeed age, but cycles between the age of seventeen to nineteen. At 11:15 AM on its "nineteenth birthday" (27th of February), SCP-XXXX gets killed, often by unnatural means including dying from choking on its meal, and its corpse instantly decomposes. One hour after its apparent death, it appears on the spot where it died in an unconscious state after regressing back to seventeen years of age. In case SCP-XXXX dies before its birthday, it still reappears as a seventeen year old at the end of the cycle, except that it's corpse does not immediately decompose. SCP-XXXX seems to have no recollection of these events, especially its death, and regards its seemingly immortal cycle as being "unable to age".

SCP-XXXX is known to be able to respawn only on the exact spot it had died. It has been classified safe due to its abilities not being known to let itself escape containment. SCP-XXXX is very friendly and would attempt to provide help whenever asked. When provoked, SCP-XXXX would avoid getting into a fight and attempt to resolve the matter peacefully.

SCP-XXXX is extremely friendly and attempts to befriend anything. It is shown to understand humor and sarcasm and could take offensive jokes lightly. However, it expresses a general fear of hostile creatures and prefers to stay away from them.

SCP-XXXX is well aware of its status as a SCP and does not attempt to escape by any means. When asked about its views regarding containment, it merely states that it "likes it in the foundation" more since it is provided with three meals a day.

SCP-XXXX-1: Males that SCP-XXXX considers a friend seem to inherit SCP-XXXX's cycle of regression, turning into instances of SCP-XXXX-1. Their cycle occurs on the exact same day as SCP-XXXX's cycle occurs. SCP-XXXX-1 that went through a cycle describe the experience as worse than hell and wish to be terminated soon. The foundation currently has no means of curing or terminating these instances. There is no theory on how the SCP-XXXX-1 retain their memories of the cycle unlike SCP-XXXX. Females are seemingly unaffected by this phenomenon. SCP-XXXX-1 cannot create further instances of SCP-XXXX-1 unlike SCP-XXXX. The only means of detecting these instances would be to ask SCP-XXXX itself about its friends or conducting an inspection on SCP-XXXX's "nineteenth birthday" when all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 simultaneously die. Any instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be contained immediately.

Addendum: No male personnel are allowed to interact with SCP-XXXX following the discovery of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX is not to be let near to any male creature, whether a normal human, an animal or a classified SCP. It's abilities have been proven to affect any living creature as long as it is male. When a male begins to interact with SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX's friendly nature easily accepts the male as a friend, regardless of its form or appearance. The male inherits SCP-XXXX's abilities (which could be due to a subconscious action of SCP-XXXX). Since SCP-XXXX's abilities are not very expressive except during the "nineteenth birthday", these instances are hard to detect.

The following interview was conducted by Dr. Garcia Thompson following XXXX's first cycle in the foundation. The cause of SCP-XXXX's death was identified to be due to choking on it's breakfast.

Interviewee: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Thompson

<Begin Log>

Dr. Thompson: How do you feel?

SCP-XXXX: Pretty refreshed. I feel like I lost a couple of inches of height though.

Dr. Thompson: Do you remember something unusual that happened this morning?

SCP-XXXX: I dunno. The last thing I remember, I was idling around after waking up. I had a sudden headache and fainted.

Dr. Thompson: No, I mean, after your breakfast, like around 11:30 AM.

SCP-XXXX: Not sure coz I must have been unconscious. I even missed my breakfast. It's not a new occurrence though. Happens every two years. I normally lose an inch of height or so whenever it happens.

Dr. Thompson: How many times has this happened so far?

SCP-XXXX: Five times, I guess.

Dr. Thompson: Well I guess I'll conclude the interview here.

<End Log>

Observation: SCP-XXXX seems to lose all memory of incidents from one hour prior to it's apparent death.
