SCP Foundation

SCP-Break idea that revolves around a maybe "immortal" person who corrupts and slowly dismantles the nation/sovereign group he resides in.

I trimmed your thread summary above, since it was taking up a lot of space on the forum listing. Try to keep thread descriptions and titles under 7 lines so you don't visually crowd out other people's threads. ~Zyn

Was considering this for the contest but I'm having trouble writing it in terms of the given cliches to write about. Also since this is stage-0, in the ideas phase. I don't know if this is too similar to another SCP on the site.

So the idea is a person who corrupts any sovereign group or nation he resides in. When regarding him and SCP, this makes him anti-SCP generally, as I'm not sure if that's an observed cliche nowadays.

How I could write this is with his story revolving around a list of given evidence of all nations he has resided in the past, as they have been shown to either fall, dismantle, surrender, become partitioned, corrupt immensely or generally worsen conditions. Upon his discovery and examination of his effects, the organization realized he couldn't be contained for the sake of the organization getting destroyed.

His "containment procedure" could be the organization complying to his interests and convincing him to reside in international waters, which broadens his unholy "aura" so much that since he isn't residing in any sovereign group, he corrupts the Earth in a global scale instead. IT forces the Earth as a whole to slowly but surely dissolve into disarray, chaos, bad luck, etc. For the greater good, all nations share the bad luck he emits.

He could be an explanation to all destruction and negatives about the history of humanity, with all positive things coming to an end. Although it doesn't have to be this "big" of scale I'm describing it with. I wouldn't count on making him immortal, more so just long lived over centuries.

EDIT: Also something that I forgot about completely was the idea of termination. I could use suggestions for working around that, and as to why the SCP can't just outright terminate him.

So the idea is a person who corrupts any sovereign group or nation he resides in.

I think we already had something like this posted, only it was a rose. It didn't really go too well because it came off as way too overpowered and difficult for the Foundation to figure out that the small thing was anomalous (you as the author know exactly how this thing works, but the Foundation wouldn't even know to look for the guy to begin with. How often to people blame the collapse of civilization on one person, let alone one who has no idea what they're doing? There are billions of people in the world and it'd be pretty impossible to track even a couple thousand living in territories that crumble apart).

I honestly can't really recommend that you write this up as an SCP. We've seen a lot of people try and the articles get deleted pretty quickly, because something as unfightable as this is just boring. The Foundation can't do anything, the world is doomed, etc. doesn't really make for a fun story because the ending is so predictable and set in stone.

Also, there isn't really any explanation for why this random dude just projects an aura that wrecks everywhere he exists in. Maaaaaaaaybe you'd be able to scrape a tale out of this, but I personally don't see this working as an SCP.
