Description: SCP-7777 is a mental disorder that prompts infected to seemingly worship and praise the number 7 (seven). The cause of this disorder is unknown, but theories suggest an intense level of [DATA EXPUNGED], which, among other things, states that seven is a "lucky number". Individuals infected by SCP-7777 have no intention of harming or threatening uninfected individuals, but SCP-7777 is known to spread very quickly, with no current explanation.

Infected individuals worship the number 7 (seven), treating it as a messiah and claiming that the universe is based on the number 7. Infected individuals form SCP-7777-1 and have their headquarters in ████████, Maine. Infected individuals will also start to build sculptures of 7 in seemingly random locations. these sculptures aren't harmful at all, but they can be made anywhere.

The core beliefs of SCP-7777-1 include believing that all lifeforms share a delicate connection to the number 7 (seven) and by worshipping 7, the connection is strengthened. By strengthening this connection, SCP-7777-1 believes that good luck and hope will follow that person.

SCP-7777-1 believes that if 7 is praised, the soul reaches Paradiseven, where after death, the soul persists and gives hope to other individuals infected by SCP-7777.

Extreme cases of SCP-7777 can result in SCP-7777-2, which is someone infected by SCP-7777 so much that they start believing that 7 calls for their soul, and commit suicide as an act of extreme beliefs. SCP-7777-2 is generally a passive entity, but when they go to commit suicide, it will travel to a certain location, disregarding its surroundings and may start attacking other lifeforms to access that area.

It is unknown where SCP-7777 originated from, but Patient Zero is thought to be a man by the name of ████ ███████, who started building statues of 7 in the 19██s. Patient Zero died of natural causes in 2018, but his actions provided insight into SCP-7777.
