SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard anomalous containment locker in Site-19, and can only be accessed with the approval of at least two personnel with level 3 clearance or more.
SCP-XXXX-B instances are to be kept in standard humanoid containment cells. SCP-XXXX-B instances may be treated as harmless humanoids, however, they must never be directly told that they are not in fact the character they believe they are (See Incident Report XXXX-12a).

Description: SCP-XXXX is a computer permanently logged in to a "Dota 2" account with the game open. Any attempts to close the app or log out of the account have failed and been met with no
response from the application. The computer does not need to be powered and cannot be turned off, as it is presumably powered by anomalous means. Attempts to open the computer have also failed, with no further action taken in this regard for fear of damaging the SCP.
The account's name and profile picture change after every hour, the new name is seemingly picked at random, though it always conforms to the Latin alphabet and some of these names have been shown to relate to current world events. The profile picture will always be related to the profile name in some way.
Examples include:

• Name - Political Tangerine, Picture - Donald Trump
• This name was used immediately after Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States of America
• Name - Professor Chaos, Picture - Butters Stotch (From the Television Series, South Park)
• This name was used after the airing of Episode 6 in Season 6 of the Television Series, South Park, in which the character "Professor Chaos" makes his first appearance in the form of 'Butters Stotch's alter ego'

Attempting to click on anything but the "Find Match" button results in no response from the application.
Note: SCP-XXXX does not appear to require any form of internet connection to find a match or retrieve information on current world events. How SCP-XXXX retrieves this information is still unknown.

After finding a match, the game proceeds as normal. Once a player leaves the server (regardless of if that is through manual disconnect or by the match ending), occupied by the user of SCP-XXXX, the individual will become instances of SCP-XXX-B.
Note: The user of SCP-XXXX will also become an instance of SCP-XXXX-B.

SCP-XXXX-B slowly begins to lose memories over a varying period of time, with the memory loss progressing from most recent to most dated. This loss of memories affects the individual's basic
understanding of the world around them, progressing to a point where the individual only has a fundamental understanding of how to keep themselves alive. (See Experiment Log XXXX-1)
A varying length of time after the end of the match (See Experiment Log XXXX-1), the individual will instantaneously gain the memories of whatever character they played in their match with the user of SCP-XXXX, this also leads them to believe they are the character they have the memories of. They may attempt to carry out their characters actions in-game in real life.
Examples of this include:

• Attempting to find their respective tools/weapons
• Assassinating individuals they deem important (Usually other SCP-XXXX-B instances)
• Building remotely detonated bombs
• Making makeshift smoke-grenades for later use in assassinations
• Mixing any household chemicals for later consumption in the hopes of enhancing their physical abilities

Note: SCP-XXXX-B does not gain any new abilities. They solely gain the memories of the character they played, though they will believe themselves to have this character's abilities, they pose no more threat to foundation personnel than any normal humanoid.

Interview Log 374-963, March ██, ████
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-B-03

Interviewer: Dr.J███

Foreword: SCP-XXXX-B-01 was the first instance of SCP-XXXX-B put in foundation custody, and as such, very little was known about SCP-XXXX-B at the time.

<Begin Log>

Dr.J███: Hello XXXX-B-03, I'm here to ask you some questions.
SCP-XXXX-B-03: Yes, Sir! Though I want to be returned to my gyrocopter right away!
Dr.J███: We'll see what we can do about that. Now, do you recognise any of the individuals in this photograph?
*Dr.J███ places a pictures of SCP-XXXX-B-03's parents on the table*
SCP-XXXX-B-03: Never seen those folk in my life, though they look quite friendly!
Dr.J███: What about this person?
*Dr.J███: places a picture of SCP-XXXX-B-03's significant other on the table*
SCP-XXXX-B-03: Sorry I can't help you with that one either, never seen her before but god she's a pretty one isn't she?
Dr.J███: She is indeed. Now could you tell me where and when you were born?
SCP-XXXX-B-03: Well I was born among in the Keen homeland, right by the sea. Had an absolutely gorgeous view from my window, not that I ever looked at it. The when is a bit more of a sticky situation, see I stopped keeping track after my retirement, thought it wouldn't matter and here I am, wishing I knew!
Dr.J███: Thank you for your help XXXX-B-03, that will be all.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-B-03 is shown on video surveillance of the room to answer all questions without hesitation, or any sign of doubt to their answers. This leads to the conclusion that they do entirely believe themselves to be the fictional character "Gyrocopter" from "Dota 2".

Addendum XXXX-1: After Incident XXXX-12a, it is now believed that SCP-XXXX-B instances are kept on the verge of animalistic behaviour by SCP-XXXX, and when that connection is severed, they assume aggressive, violent, and animalistic behaviour. Due to this, changes have been made to Special Containment Procedures.
Request upgrade to Euclid.

Addendum XXXX-2: RE: Upgrade to Euclid - granted by 05 Council.
Reason: Poses a danger to on-site personnel if not handled correctly.

Incident Report XXXX-12a

SCP Involved: SCP-XXXX-B-06
Personnel involved: B████ █████, C████ ██████
Time: 9:31am ██/██/████
Location: Site 19
Description:
Subject SCP-XXXX-B-06 is being escorted to Interview Room 3 by B████ █████ and C████ ██████ (hereafter referred to as Guard 1 and Guard 2 respectively), screaming obscenities at both guards regarding how he would kill them when he broke free of our "Silencing Cuffs" (Note: SCP-XXXX-B-06 was wearing standard-issue, non-anomalous handcuffs). Guard 2 eventually grew extremely annoyed by SCP-XXXX-B-06 and responded that he was wearing normal handcuffs, and couldn't even kill them if he tried. SCP-XXXX-B-06 originally refuted this statement, but when Guard 2 repeated it, SCP-XXXX-B-06 presumably realised the truth behind it.

SCP-XXXX-B-06 stops moving alongside their two guards and begins looking at the floor, its face is not visible. Both guards realised the stop after taking two steps ahead of SCP-XXXX-B-06
and immediately began ordering SCP-XXXX-B-06 to resume walking with them or they would be forced to "drag you there by your shoe". SCP-XXXX-B-06 then began convulsing all over
their body and collapsed to the floor. Guard 1 rushed to SCP-XXXX-B-06's side while Guard 2 called down the hallways for assistance.

SCP-XXXX-B-06 continued to convulse for 12 seconds and then suddenly stopped. The subject assumed a blank face and began looking at Guard 1. After 0.5 seconds, the subject then lunged its head towards Guard 1's neck. 2 seconds after the convulsing stopped, Guard 2 shot the subject in the head, terminating it instantly. Guard 1 was alive when Guard 2 rushed to his side, however, he was fatally wounded and died approximately 15 seconds later due to blood loss.

Following the Incident, Guard 2 was put in weekly therapy sessions and assigned to a different site after the incident.

Knowledge gained from this incident led to the creation of the current containment procedures for all SCP-XXXX-B instances.

Experiment Log XXXX-1

Staff involved: Dr. J███, Dr. R█████████, with Dr. K██████ assisting
Date: July ██, ████
Procedure: One D-Class Personnel placed in a secured test chamber containing SCP-XXXX. The test chamber is to be observed via a remote camera system. D-Class Personnel are instructed to play one game of 'Dota 2' on the computer and then place SCP-XXXX beside the door. The D-Class personnel must then move to the opposite side of the room until Dr. K██████ retrieves SCP-XXXX. D-Class personnel must be briefed on the test 1 week and 1 hour before the planned testing date.
Results: Subject D-125472 (Male 25, no discernable mental abnormalities, no previous experience with 'Dota 2', claims to have previous experience with similar games) is placed in the chamber and told to use SCP-XXXX to play a game of 'Dota 2'. Subject has not been told of SCP-XXXX's properties. Subject does as instructed, and the game lasts 43 minutes and 17 seconds.
Note: Subject chose the character known as "Lifestealer" in his game.

After finishing the game, Subject appears confused. When asked to explain, Subject proceeds to ask researchers "How did that game end?". Subject is told to continue with the Experiment. Subject places SCP-XXXX beside the chamber door and waits on the opposite side of the chamber. SCP-XXXX is retrieved by Dr. K██████. Subject then proceeds to pace the room.
1 minutes and 12 seconds after the game ended, Subject stands still and begins scanning the entire room. Subject proceeds to ask where he is. Researchers explain he is in a test for SCP-XXXX and re-briefs the subject on the testing procedure. Subject claims they have never heard of this test, and were just in a test with SCP-████.
Note: Subject was used to test the effects of SCP-████ 2 weeks before testing of SCP-XXXX.

Researchers tell the subject to wait for guards to escort them back to their cell, and that it may take upwards of an hour. Subject expresses annoyance at this.
2 minutes and 31 seconds after the game ended, Subject is found to have no recollection of ever being brought into foundation custody.
20 minutes and 6 seconds after the game ended, Subject expresses more confusion at where they are and demands to see their lawyer.
41 minutes and 43 seconds after the game ended, Subject proceeds to lie on the floor and assume the fetal position.
Researchers proceed to wait approximately 10 minutes for any further signs of activity from the Subject. The only activity displayed by Subject during this time is the expected breath cycle, confirming life. After these 10 minutes have elapsed (approximately 51 minutes after the Subject finished interaction with SCP-XXXX), guards are instructed to enter the chamber to retrieve them and escort them to a standard humanoid containment cell.
Upon guards approaching Subject, the Subject attempts to attack guards, and successfully bites █████ █████'s ear off, before being pacified using a taser (█████ █████ was sent to the infirmary immediately).

After regaining consciousness, the Subject screamed statements such as "No chains can hold me", "Wait until I get my claws in you!" and "Your life will be mine". Deep laughter is also heard from the Subject at times.

Experiment Log XXXX-6

Staff involved: Dr. C████ and Dr. G█████
Date: September ██, ████
Procedure: 2 SCP-XXXX-B instances (in this case SCP-XXXX-B-02 and SCP-XXXX-B-10) are exposed to each other through two separate rooms separated by no less than 5 panes of glass. They should be able to hear each other through an intercom button placed on the wall, but no physical contact should be possible.
Note: SCP-XXXX-B-02 believes themself to be 'Dragon Knight', and SCP-XXXX-B-10 believes themself to be 'Lifestealer'
Results: SCP-XXXX-B-02 (Hereafter referred to as Subject 1) and SCP-XXXX-B-10 (Hereafter referred to as Subject 2) are escorted into their respective doors, and both doors are locked.
Subject 1 proceeds to tilt their head in confusion at Subject 2. Subject 2 begins to crawl on all fours towards the glass. Subject 1 appears to notice the intercom now and proceeds to approach it and press the button.
The following is a log of their conversation:

<Begin Log, ██/09/████>

Subject 1: Greetings N'aix
Subject 2 now notices the intercom and approaches it to continue the conversation
Subject 2: Hello Davion, long time no see
Subject 1: Indeed, and I thought no chains could hold a man of your…..stature
Subject 2: Don't worry, none can hold me forever, these chains are a testament to that
Subject 2 raises his forearms to the glass and grins at Subject 1, though no chains are present on Subject 2.
Subject 1: I see. I've been forming some plans of my own, though with little success, these people appear to be dampening my abilities, my blood feels…dull, the dragon's fire inside me is gone.
Subject 2 appears distressed
Subject 2: My Master has not left me, no he has not, but his powers too have been diminished.
Subject 1: I would not be able to assist a creature such as yourself, I hope you understand. There must be more of us here, I could feel your presence in this building long before we met today, and I would presume you feel the same.
Subject 2 nods
Subject 1: Maybe when we escape this place we will meet again, but for now this meeting must end, we are being watched.
Subject 1 gestures to the nearby camera in the opposite corner of the room, and Subject 2 proceeds to nod in further agreement
Subject 1: I bid you well my friend, good luck on your travels.

<End Log, ██/09/████>

Conclusion: SCP-XXXX-B instances have also had their senses altered in such a way that they appear as their respective character to both themselves and other SCP-XXXX-B instances. They also have a sense of connection to other SCP-XXXX-B instances, presumably through SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-B instances are aware of their relationship with other instances and do recall memories of each other.
