So it's me again, been a while since I posted anything. First off, I decided to abandon the whole Exodus idea, for now at least. So instead I'm trying to develop a new storyline that focuses on a team of veteran SCP agents who are tasked with hunting down a vareity of newly discovered SCP artifacts that are responsible for numerous anomalous murders across the globe…
I've got a pretty good idea of how I want to tell the story, but the problem I'm having is the SCPs themselves; the idea I have is of this collection of objects, like little totems or statues, each of which spawns a anomalous being, what I'm currently calling an Entity. Each object [I like the name Totem, so let's use that for now!], has its own design and motiff, which is shared by the Entity it creates.
Initially, the Totem only spawns a single Entity, which goes out and procedes to hunt down and kill people, following a set pattern unique to each Totem; after the Entity kills a certain number of people, the Totem itself will generate an anomalous effect, which again differs between individual Totems. I wanted to make it like a supernatural murder investigation, having it so that the Foundation team in the story has to race to both find the Totem's location while also trying to predict the potential targets for the Entity.
Now, the problem I'm having is that I'm struggling to think of some sort of common factor that connects the victims; is it something that they have in common, like profession or behavior? Should it be that they were all present at some sort of anomalous event, or that they possess some sort of specific object? I need to come up with something that ties a group of potential targets together that doesn't involve being related biologically [though I suppose I could use this concept once], but at the same time the connection needs to be isolated enough that the Foundation agents don't end up with having to protect hundreds of potential victims. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
PS: While I'm asking for a hand, I also need some help identifying a task force that one of the characters was reasigned from; it's the task force that's members are required to look underage in order to investigate this anomalous rumor or something that spreads through children, anybody remember the SCP's name?
