Superhuman/Supernatural/Paranormal Rants (or Props) (Continued)

[Philote]

I've started reading through that site as well now, it seems pretty interesting. 682 and 914 have caught my attention.

[Mik_Hael]

I'm thinking of making a few after I finish reading all of them, there's no shortage of reality benders there.

I'm thinking of a sentient being, that is able to vastly alter reality at a whim, but simply, doesn't exist.

[Mik_Hael]

Creating something weird my be a challenge, I just read about a tentacled giant cow heart with four spider legs and a stinger which speaks in phylisophical poetic verse in the voice of an elderly lisping englishman.

[Zaleramancer]

They won't care for that. Especially not for your first one.

Considering how even the admins seem to casually throw around insults in their.. reviews, I expect the proverbial excrement to hit the rotating air-moving blades.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

What types of viruses have you come across in your reviewing the site? What types of illnesses/bacteria/viruses?

[Zaleramancer]

These Here.

One that causes spontaneous human combustion.

One that causes you to grow cysts filled with mosquitoes.

One that turns you into a clockwork organism.

One that makes you vomit up semi-useful items.

One that causes openings in your body to fuse together.

One that turns you into a wild humanoid that must eat bone marrow to survive.

One that causes you to loose your immune system.

One that turns you into a mass of nasty gunky polyps that eats and molests nearby things.

And one that freezes you to death.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I'm guessing there's one that causes gender reversal, right?

Or how's about a sentient pathogen, one that can shift from virus to bacteria, as well as being able to change its contagion factor, by becoming contagious or airborne at will?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I remember there being one that causes you to rapidly mutate to adapt to dangerous situation, but only during times of high stress.

[Zaleramancer]

There's an item that does that, with the chance of genital mutilation.

And how hostile would that be?

Almost forgot: there's a macro-virus. Twenty centimeters tall.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, the one I thought of is just a gender-swap virus, with the added chance of ending up with both or no gender.

And the pathogen would be highly aggressive. Considering that it's sentient. Capable of mimicking any currently existing illness or mutating your genetics with horrific effects.  It was only contained because researchers used a trap that bends light (turning the trap invisible), and then they placed a goat inside. When the pathogen was detected in the sterile environment, it immediately shut, thus sealing the pathogen inside for safe transportation. The area in which it resided was then sterilized, nuclear style, to prevent any possibility of the pathogen spreading. The name of the area that remains behind today? Chernobyl.

[Zaleramancer]

Just avoid making things that only move when you aren't watching.

I mean, one or two are interesting, but after twenty or so it begins to wear on you.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 No, this pathogen has no problem like that. It moves like a normal germ. Only much smarter.

Oh, and it can shift between any carbon-based life-forms, as well as anything with any other kind of electrical network of sentience. Basically, it is a pathogen that can infect living things and electronics.

[Zaleramancer]

A Keter-Class being capable of viral spreading..

That's gonna be slated for termination as swiftly as possible.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Why?

[Zaleramancer]

It's hostile to humanity, and unless it proves unkillable or has some useful properties, it's going to be terminated.

[Zaleramancer]

Unless they want to use it for scientific research.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Of course they want it for research!

They just have to find a way to kill it first, as a failsafe. Without losing so many of their operatives in the process. It is as yet unkillable, from anything other than nuclear bombing.

Assuming the other germs actually died, and were not actually just scattered to the four winds.

[Philote]

What do you guys think of expanding this SCP-# idea:

Item causes a radius where sentients will come under the hallucination that completely ordinary objects are actually artifacts of increasingly deadly ability.

Those touching the SCP-# can see through the collective hallucinations to see what the objects truly are for the period that they are in contact with the SCP-#.

The SCP-# is capable of being destroyed, but after destruction the hallucinations persist but the ability to see through them is lost. Multiple cases of this SCP-# have been found at what is now current day foundation buildings.

The hallucinations worsen after prolonged exposure leading victims to even commit murders in the name of "Testing" the supposedly deadly artifacts.

Several SCP have no known SCP-# related to them, bringing up the question of whether they truly exist or not.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Interesting. I like it.

I was thinking of something as well, but I forgot what it was.

[Zaleramancer]

Curious Factoid: Sauropods, such as Apatosaurus, supposedly had air-sacks and hollow bones, to reduce their weight.

They also did not live in water.
