“	Uncomfortable. Uneasy. There's uh, uh, voices. Like usual. Things I can see, you know. The same. I just… the things I see aren't going away. There are more of them. Different… I know I sound crazy, but it's like I'm addressing a dozen people at the same time, and more every day. It's… (pauses) it hurts, pretty bad. I know I sound nuts, I'm sorry. I… I don't know if you do. Or, I don't know if you can. In the story, you don't try to help. This is going to sound crazy, seriously, but I can- I can see what you're thinking. I know you're afraid.

Background

SCP-3812 is a reality-altering entity, making it extremely difficult to describe accurately due to its influence on reality itself. It is known that SCP-3812 was once Sam Howell, a non-anomalous African-American man believed to have died in 1996. Shortly after his death, witnesses observed SCP-3812 emerging from its grave before disappearing. The entity came to the attention of the Foundation after its presence led to the destruction of an apartment building in Warsaw, Poland. SCP-3812's constantly shifting appearance, resulting from its anomalous abilities, makes tracking it nearly impossible. Currently, its location is recorded at 26°26’49”S 137°56’27”W in the South Pacific Ocean.

SCP-3812 exhibits severe symptoms of an advanced form of Eigenmann-Vietor schizophrenia, characterized by extreme paranoia, mood disturbances, a distorted sense of reality, and hallucinations that include hearing, seeing, and feeling things that aren’t there.

Since SCP-3812 was first discovered over twenty years ago, these symptoms have progressively worsened. Initially, SCP-3812 interacted with Foundation staff and sought assistance to manage its condition. However, it has become increasingly reclusive and unpredictable, often altering reality to match its distorted perception. As a result, it’s difficult to track how often these alterations occur, except in cases where residual signs are left behind.

Containing SCP-3812 is impossible through conventional methods, as it alters reality to remove any confinement or relocate itself. Even attempts to sedate or neutralize it are ineffective since it changes reality to negate any threats. Consequently, containment efforts focus on managing the damage caused by its reality-altering episodes rather than confining the entity.

Over time, SCP-3812’s physical form has become less human-like, taking on various shapes. Additionally, it causes distortions in space and time around it, occasionally accompanied by violent outbursts capable of massive destruction. While SCP-3812 is usually passive, these outbursts are deadly to any nearby life and can lead to large-scale damage if not controlled.

Personality

• Mental Illness: SCP-3812 exhibits signs of an extremely advanced Eigenmann-Vietor schizophrenia complex, specifically: extreme paranoia, extreme dysphoria, extreme mania/depression, inability to properly percieve their surroundings, inability to discern the difference between the real and imagined, inability to differentiate between living and dead beings, inability to control expressions of emotion, hearing voices that are not there, seeing things that are not there, feeling or otherwise experiencing stimuli that do not exist, etcetera. During interviews he would note that he would hear voices and things he can see that aren't going away. This extends to him even having multiple personalities in his head, some personalities hating the world and the narrative, viewing it as something making them torment.

Over time, SCP-3812 has become significantly less humanoid in appearance, and is now only vaguely humanoid and occasionally manifests in a variety of shapes and appearances)

State of Being: Regular (Formerly), Transcendent (Currently. SCP-3812 transcended above its narrative reality, no longer being bound by the rules or laws of the world, with it being noted that he'll either reach the top or just keep going to higher narrative, metaphysical dimensions. Where higher energy metaphysical dimensions perceive our reality similar to how we perceive the reality of characters in a comic book, being able to change the story simply by telling it differently, altering the baseline of reality, and changing the most fundamental aspects)

In-Universe Creator: Unknown

Occupation: None

Containment Status: Partially Contained (SCP-3812 is currently only partially contained, SCP-3812 is constantly monitored by Mobile Task Force Ganymede-66 "Starlight Knights", who are able to maintain a 5km quarantined area of exclusion around SCP-3812. Current containment efforts focus on mitigating SCP-3812's influence on population centers, as well as research into the full breadth of SCP-3812's anomalous capabilities in order to establish a more comprehensive containment procedure. SCP-3812 is realistically impossible to contain within any form of containment cell)

Affiliations: The Foundation (Formerly. SCP-3812 when initially discovered was responsive to questioning and sought help in managing its condition from Foundation researchers)

Enemies:

Height: Unknown

Weight: Unknown

Status: Alive

Alignment: Initially Neutral Good (SCP-3812 when initially discovered was responsive to questioning and sought help in managing its condition from Foundation researchers), Chaotic Evil for some parts (Over time, SCP-3812 became more isolated and withdrawn, eventually becoming entirely unresponsive and acting in erratic and unpredictable ways. Some parts of SCP-3812 want to unmake the world and unmake everything)

Threat Level: Multiversal Threat (Suppose SCP-3812 were to be faced with an overexposure of narrative. In that case, they might attempt to ease themselves by collapsing all lower energy realities into something perceptible, having multiple realities become compressed into the same meta-space, having their parts become intertwined in such an incomprehensible way that not only would the ability for conscious thought be nearly immediately annihilated, but physical space would also become so compressed and broken that the boundaries between all lower realities would cease to exist completely. Currently, SCP-3812 is not able to accurately perceive the world around it. It will occasionally alter reality to diminish the discrepancy between how it perceives something and the way that something is in acutuality. While SCP-3812 is usually docile and aimless, its random outbursts are invariable fatal to any living creature nearby and can be extremely disastrous on a massive scale if not properly contained. Noted by Dr. Kari Yamamara that SCP-3812 is the most dangerous anomaly on Earth, and potentially in the universe)

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Multiple Personalities (SCP-3812 has multiple personalities in his head that he can talk with), Irregular Physiology (SCP-3812 became a slowly rotating mass of matter and energy and transformed into a many-pointed star amde of a bright white material), Omnipresence (True Omnipresence; SCP-3812 exists in all realities simultaneously), Transcendence, Extra-Planar Existence, & Higher-Dimensional Existence (SCP-3812 transcended above its narrative reality, no longer being bound by the rules or laws of the world, with it being noted that he'll either reach the top or just keep going to higher narrative, metaphysical dimensions. Where higher energy metaphysical dimensions perceive our reality similar to how we perceive the reality of characters in a comic book, being able to change the story simply by telling it differently, altering the baseline of reality and changing the most fundamental aspects), Reality Separation (SCP-3812 is a being that looks over reality like one looks over thoughts and ideas, being so totally separate from reality that it may as well be words on a page), Reality Warping (SCP-3812 has an active, aggressive, anomalous influence on relaity. SCP-3812 is a reality-altering enitty, which due to their latent effect on reality, it is nearly impossible to describe SCP-3812 in any meaningful way. Its presence resulted in demolition of an apartment building in Warsaw, Poland. Currently SCP-3812 is not able to accurately perceive the world around it, and will occassionally alter reality in order to diminish the discrepancy between how it perceives something, and the way that something is in acutuality. It is impossible to know how often reality has been modified, only how often SCP-3812 has not created a clean alteration and has left behind evidence of its influence on reality. SCP-3812 can alter reality to remove the containment cell. For around 72 hours, multiple anomalous phenomena occured around SCP-3812, all of which failed to kill them), Transformation (Shapeshifting; Due to its anomalous capabilities, SCP-3812's appearance varies significantly, making it exceedingly difficult to track), Teleportation (SCP-3812 can alter reality to move itself to another location), Telepathy (SCP-3812 is able to see what Dr. Quint is thinking. SCP-3812 sent telepathic signals to every human on Earth simultaneously screaming and begging for help in their heads), Restoration (Even if caught unaware, SCP-3812 cannot be tranquilized or amnesticized, as SCP-3812 will alter reality to remove or eliminate any threats to itself or its freedom of movement), Fusionism (Suppose SCP-3812 were to be faced with an overexposure of narrative. In that case, they might attempt to ease itself by collapsing all lower energy realities into something perceptible, having multiple realities become compressed into the same meta-space, having their parts become intertwined in such an incomprehensible way that not only would the ability for conscious thought be nearly immediately annihilated, physical space would become so compressed and broken that the boundaries between all lower realities would cease to exist completely), Erasure (Physical Erasure & Existence Erasure; A record recovered from a Foundation deepwell information security vault indicates that at some point in the past, one or more governments discovered SCP-3812 independent of the Foundation and attempted to terminate it, as a result, SCP-3812 swiftly removed them and any memory of them from the Earth. Evidence suggests that SCP-3812 caused the disappearance of an entire island off the coast of California, no fewer than 200 individuals in southern California have a vague recollection of such an island existing, and 14 people were unable to justify the disappearances of family members who lived in the area at the the time. Eraed the entire country of Mongolia. Time Erasure; Due to the nature of the alterations it is highly likely that any individuals affected no longer exist as a result of SCP-3812's influence. SCP-3812 can blink one into non-existence. Metaphysical Erasure; Multiple incorporea instances of SCP-3812 begin to fall away from the central mass of the entity, as if they were dying, each of the incorporeal instances becomes hostile to the main instance and attacks it, SCP-3812 does not initially seem to notice, but eventually appears to look in their direction, causing them to disappear suddenly. Conceptual Erasure; Dr. Kari Yamamara notes that if it got the idea in its head that it didn't like the concept of empathy, empathy would no longer exist. SCP-3812 removed a concept in the 1980's, potentially being something as fundamental as emotion, and the entire concept was wiped clean from reality and the collective consciousness of all sentient beings), Deconstruction (Macroscopic; A large number of objects fall from the sky onto SCP-3812, the rods appear to pierce SCP-3812's body, but upon further inspection simply disintergrate within a half meter from SCP-3812), Space-Time Manipulation (SCP-3812 produces a latent anomalous effect on local reality, specifically in the form of temporal and spatial distortions surrounding the entity, these distortions are occassionally accompanied by random, violent outbursts that may dramatically shift or damage local space and time. Creates spatial and temporal distortions around it), Time Manipulation (SCP-3812 is capable of altering events throughout time to prevent its containment), Plot Manipulation (It is theorized by Dr. Kari Yamamara that SCP-3812's powers cannot be detected by their equipment because he is manipulating a higher state of reality known as a "narrative". Possessing the power to manipulate every facet of any and every aspect of everything they've ever encountered. Having access to higher energy metaphysical dimensions that perceive our reality similar to how we perceive the reality of characters in a comic book, being able to change the story simply by telling it differently, altering the baseline of reality and changing the most fundamental aspects), Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (SCP-3812 is an entity with access to higher energy metaphysical dimensions), Temperature Manipulation (SCP-3812 is observed walking across a stretch of desert in the American southwest, a path of temperate climate is present along SCP-3812's travel path, the climate diminishes slowly over time), Explosion Manipulation (SCP-3812 became violent after coming into contact with SCP-███, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the hospital. Caused a powerful explosion recorded in Eastern Russia), Memory Manipulation (SCP-3812 sent telepathic signals to every human on Earth simultaneously screaming and begging for help in their heads and then removed this event from the public consciousness), Data Manipulation (SCP-3812 altered the personnel database of 56 broken employee database files used in testing).

'Resistance to Information Analysis & Cosmic Awareness (Dr. Kari Yamamara notes that their equipment cannot detect SCP-3812, equipment they've made to measure reality and compare it to a baseline), Power Nullification (SCP-███ attempted to use a powerful anti-metaphysical field to come into contact with SCP-3812 but had no noticeable detrimental effect on SCP-3812's abilities), Gravity Manipulation & Black Holes (SCP-3712 passed through a graviational anomaly, later detemrined to be a freestanding, stable, naked singulairty, completely unphazed), Plot Manipulation & Law Manipulation (SCP-3812 transcendend above its narrative reality, no longer being bound by the rules or laws of the world)

Other

Standard Tactics: SCP-3812 acts purely on impulse and changes realitiy to match those impulses.

Weaknesses: SCP-3812 exhibits signs of an extremely advanced Eigenmann-Vietor schizophrenia complex, specifically: extreme paranoia, extreme dysphoria, extreme mania/depression, inability to properly percieve their surroundings, inability to discern the difference between the real and imagined, inability to differentiate between living and dead beings, inability to control expressions of emotion, hearing voices that are not there, seeing things that are not there, feeling or otherwise experiencing stimuli that do not exist, etcetera. Due to being insane, SCP-3812 isn't capable of comprhending the kind of things it can do to everyone, instead just acting on impulse and changing things to fit those impulses.
