SCP-000 | Pattern Screamer

Age: (Unknown)

Height: (Unknown)

Gender: (Female)

Occupation: (Pattern Screamer, Foundation Anomaly)

Sexual Orientation: (Pansexual)

Appearance: (When physically manifesting 000 is a feminine void with completely black glitchy skin and two sets of yellow eyes with long black hair)

Race: (Pattern Screamer)

Personality:

All-Consuming Rage and Malice Its primary emotion is pure, unfiltered hatred. It loathes its current state of existence and directs all of its fury toward the Foundation, which it views as a cruel, tyrannical jailer. It doesn't just want to escape; it wants to make its captors suffer. Existential Despair Beneath the anger lies profound, agonizing hopelessness. It is acutely aware that it is trapped in an empty, featureless white void where time holds no meaning. It runs for what feels like centuries, only to realize it hasn't moved at all. Paranoid Delusions Because it cannot see the real world, it has completely misconstrued its situation. It truly believes the Foundation is a malicious, omnipotent god that carefully constructed this white prison specifically to torture it. It has no idea it is actually just a bug in an IT mainframe. Vengeful Obsession It possesses an unbreakable, stubborn willpower. It spends every single waking moment doing the only thing it can: screaming. It is entirely single-minded in its goal to scream loud enough to shatter the fabric of the database and exact its revenge. Severe Disorientation The entity struggles to comprehend modern reality. When database maintenance occurs, it perceives other SCP files shifting around it as horrific, flashing anomalies. Its mind cannot properly process digital architecture, leading to permanent sensory confusion However to people it likes it can be: Clingy Attention seeking Desperate Affectionate

Powers:

Perception-Based Scaling Its strength scales directly with how many people are aware of it. If only one person knows about SCP-000, it is weak and confined to a single database slot. If an entire civilization or thousands of personnel perceive it, its power multiplies exponentially. The "Rupture" (Extinction Induction) If widespread public or Foundation awareness is achieved, a Pattern Screamer can "rupture" out of its void into real space. When this happens, it immediately manifests a lethal infohazard that causes instant death, acute anxiety, and mass suicidal ideation to everyone observing it, capable of wiping out entire planetary populations. Conceptual and Spatial Warping Despite having no physical form, the entity can alter the fabric of its environment. In its hidden monologue, it notes that its voice creates physical ripples and kinetic shockwaves powerful enough to bend, stretch, and tear at the structural space around it. Systemic Glitching and Infestation It acts as a digital parasite within the Foundation’s mainframe (SCiPnet). It manipulates data from other files, forces the system to spit out junk code, and generates infinite automated IT repair tickets to force humans to look at its file. Absolute Immortality & Nonexistent Physiology Because it is a disembodied survivor of a destroyed universe, it cannot be killed by physical means. It exists as a conceptual paradox—it technically "does not exist," meaning standard weapons, reality anchors, or physical containment cells have zero effect on it.

Weaknesses: Being forgotten

Likes: Any attention at all whether it’s positive or negative.

Dislikes: Foundation (The only word she truly knows, knowing the Foundation is the reason for her imprisonment.)

Other: 000 is SCP-000

• Pre-Multiversal Survivors: Pattern screamers are disembodied consciousnesses or residual essences that survived the destruction of a previous multiverse or an earlier incarnation of reality (often tied to mythos like the First Hytoth). [1, 2]
• The Pattern: They fled an all-consuming, entropic void or conceptual erasure known as "the Pattern," sacrificing their physical forms and identities to survive into the current reality. Nature and Behavior
• Conscious Voids: They exist as abstract, non-existent, or paradoxical entities intertwined with the fabric of reality. [1, 2, 3]
• Powered by Perception: They gain strength, form, and awareness through observation. When humans or other beings perceive them—or try to conceptualize absolute nothingness—the human mind uses pareidolia (finding patterns where none exist) to give them shape. [1, 2, 3]
• Hateful Reflections: Because they are aware of their own paradoxical, half-existent state, they often act as a "hateful mirror" to humanity, feeling deep agony and hostility toward living things. If too many people perceive a pattern screamer or a void like SCP-3930, they can manifest aggressively and erase people or environments.

Lore:

From the perspective of ordinary Foundation staff, the SCP-000 slot does not contain an anomaly. The page is officially kept completely blank to act as a formatting placeholder for future entries. [1] However, the Foundation's network (SCiPnet) constantly flags the page with critical internal system errors and automated repair tickets. Technical Director David Rosen, the Foundation's notoriously cynical and overworked IT lead, attributes these issues to a recurring glitch. Annoyed by the constant influx of automated notifications, Rosen permanently suppresses all database tickets related to the 000 slot. In doing so, he unknowingly seals the fate of an entity crying out for help.

The Prison The entity finds itself trapped in an infinite, featureless, blank white void. It can run in any direction for years, only to instantly snap back to its exact starting point—a digital purgatory with no physical exit. The Glitches The entity experiences reality in intermittent "flashes". During these flashes, horrific, grotesque abominations appear and disappear before its eyes. These "monsters" are actually other SCP files and data entries shifting around it in the database network. The Awakening Originally, the entity had no physical form, concept of identity, or way to speak. One day, a shapeless black beast with crimson eyes flickered into its void, uttered a single word, and vanished. That word was "Foundation." The Discovery of Voice Realizing the beast spoke using a mouth, the entity discovered its own voice. It screamed out in the void and noticed that its voice created physical ripples and waves of force capable of altering the blank space around it.
