Special Containment Procedures: The individuals that collectively 
comprise SCP-1533 are to be confined to a 10 x 10 x 10 meter cell 
in Site- . An armed guard is to be posted outside of the containment 
chamber at all times. Should SCP-1533 attempt to escape, firearms 
are capable of subduing the entities only temporarily. Requests of a 
material nature - whether it be of books, film, music, or other media - 
are to be strictly denied and any personnel discovered smuggling 
paraphernalia into SCP-1533's cell will be removed from the holding 
facility and relocated per administrative orders. Under no 
circumstances are personnel allowed to fraternize with each other or 
the collective itself. All agents are to assume a neutral expression 
and allowed to only make short declarative statements in the 
presence of the holding cell. Any individualizing actions, social 
flourishes, or other interactions that go beyond the communication of 
simple directives will be added to SCP-1533's behavior pool and be 
utilized to facilitate an escape. 


During the normally scheduled SCP-1533 event day, twelve (12) D- 
class exhibiting symptoms of autism spectrum disorders are to 
socialize with the collective in order to stunt SCP-1533's social 
growth. The desocializing of SCP-1533 must occur under the 
supervision of armed guards. Armed personnel are tasked with 
closely observing for any signs of the collective attempting to 
socialize the D-class for its own benefit, or any other anomalies. 
Operatives are prohibited from interacting with SCP-1533 in any way 
beyond making eye contact. 


Description: SCP-1533 is the designation for an aggregate 
intelligence of unknown nature with command over _ superficially 
human entities and their personalities. Instances of SCP-1533 only 
manifest as social gatherings of variable nature organized and 


attended by its comprising individuals. The SCP-1533 events occur 
at monthly intervals within a fifty (50) mile radius of the previous 
event's location, and are generally gatherings such as house parties 
or holiday mixers. However, SCP-1533 has not been known to 
organize events that rely on the attendees knowing each other prior 
to the gathering, such as family reunions or birthday parties. 


The individuals that comprise SCP-1533 possess the ability to mimic 
the behaviors of human subjects they have interacted with in the 
past. Observed behaviors enter a collective 'database' at the 
disposal of SCP-1533 which are then distributed across the entities 
differently for each event. Each entity receives a personality schema 
consisting of a host of behaviors, skills, and personal attributes in 
order to perform a specific social role. The individuals need only to 
be in direct line of sight of an action to ‘absorb’ it, remaining 
sensitive to social cues even when apparently intoxicated. Specific 
examples of modifiable attributes include personal idiosyncrasies, 
inflection and cadence of voice, physical expertise in a sport or 
activity, oratory skill, the demeanor of an individual, and even sense 
of humor. 


The ease by which SCP-1533 is able to model persuasive 
personalities is a sign of its growing social competency. The process 
is analogous to natural selection, in that there is a preference for 
favorable behaviors that will better endear it to future victims, and 
those that discomfort or otherwise "turn off" attendees are 
discarded. As a consequence, the individuals have progressed from 
exhibiting symptoms of low-grade autism spectrum disorder to 
becoming a highly alluring and dangerous group of individuals. 


Outside of expanding its data pool, SCP-1533 exists only to exercise 
its power of manipulation over human beings. This can range from 
challenging a target's self-identity by persuading them to agree with 
obscene and untenable point of view, to more indirect methods that 
inflict emotional and physical harm on subjects. The collective has 
shown a preference for employing charismatic personalities to 
captivate human targets into threatening the integrity of close 
friendships and intimate relationships (see Personality List). The 
collective competes against itself for the emotional dominance of 
their guests, and those personalities with the most success have 


begun to exhibit some semblance of autonomy by brandishing 
tattoos and other symbols of status to denote their rank. 


The beings exert such a profound effect on human beings that 
Foundation operatives routinely recover letters and personal 
belongings addressed to SCP-1533 sent by past guests to previous 
event sites. The entities have also attempted to bribe personnel by 
promising to secure them the love and adoration of specific persons 
in their lives, such as peers or romantic interests. SCP-1533's 
personalities have developed an aptitude for reading body language 
and facial expressions that currently exceeds Foundation 
understanding. Removing those personnel prone to the collective's 
manipulations has also proved troublesome, as it has only served to 
bolster SCP-1533's confidence in its own abilities. As of // , 
operatives are to be assigned masks to wear so as to limit the social 
data SCP-1533 assimilates with every encounter. 


+ Personality List 


Personality List: The following is a list of the most 
prominent personalities utilized by SCP-1533 to 
dominate human beings. It is rare that more than one 
personality will select the same target. SCP-1533 is not 
telepathic or clairvoyant; it relies on anticipating 
caricatures of behavior prior to an event, so the success 
rate of its entities (defined by the prey's receptiveness to 
the entities' manipulations) now hovers at %, although 
this rate has steadily grown since recording began. As 
SCP-1533 functions by essentially consolidating the 
more deplorable aspects of the human social sphere into 
discrete personalities, Foundation agents are strongly 
encouraged to upset any schemes the collective might 
use to visit distress on innocent subjects. 


Description of entity behaviors and physical appearance 
is provided by embedded agents ordered to act as 
inconspicuously as the function allowed. 


Given Name Personality Schemata 
"AJ" A male in his early 20s 
distinguished by an 


"Roger" 


tattoo on the neck and 
wearing a white fitted cap. 
AJ appears in house party 
and rave party events. He 
will attempt to befriend the 
subject. Early instances of 
AJ were considered 
overbearing and 
bothersome by targets, and 
could not find common 
ground to build necessary 
rapport. Since the 
expanding of its knowledge 
base, and the refining of its 
social instincts, AJ will claim 
to have a friend or sibling in 
the target's hometown/ 
campus/workplace to 
facilitate conversation. The 
entity is designed to 
captivate the most targets in 
the shortest amount of time. 
The tattoo is symbolic 
of Event - where AJ was 
able to infatuate a pair of 
college-aged females and 
markedly strain their 
friendship in a single night. 
Roger appears as a male in 
his mid-20s with a portly 
figure and beard. The entity 
is seen only in house party 
and community gathering 
scenarios. Roger assumes 
an unkempt appearance to 
the extent that alienates a 
substantial margin. Given 
Roger's role as the 
collective's orator, a guest's 
aversion to its appearance 


"Donna" 


"Jace" 


and the subject matter of its 
views serves as a challenge 
to its persuasive power. The 
entity has repeatedly 
expressed fascistic views on 
the inherent inferiority of 
women, the right of powerful 
persons to subjugate the 
weak, the existential 
loneliness of human life, 
and the impossibility of love 
in a deterministic universe, 
but in an eloquent and 
authoritative manner. 
Persons with minority views 
will gravitate to Roger and 
have contributed to the 
creation of a small assembly 
of followers at each event. 
After reducing two members 
of a community poetry class 
to tears with a false 
childhood memory, recent 
instances of Roger have 
been seen wearing stained 
clothing and bearing an 
usually large facial port-wine 
stain birthmark. 

Donna appears as an 
attractive female in its 
mid-20s. Donna is tasked 
with the seduction of males, 
and on occasion females, in 
party scenarios. The entity's 
hands are adorned with 
rings for each relationship it 
has jeopardized. Current 
count Is 

Jace is a male in his late 
teens that targets party 


guests who feel 
uncomfortable in social 
situations. As anxious and 
visibly troubled guests are 
infrequently seen in party 
scenarios, instances of Jace 
are rare, but exact the 
greatest emotional toll on 
their targets. The entity 
operates by sympathizing 
with the target, claiming to 
have the same problem. 
Through strategic use of 
sideways glances to an 
unspecified person or party, 
making statements laden 
with double meanings, an 
ubiquitous smirk, and 
laughing at inappropriate 
times, the entity is able to 
both simultaneously put its 
target at ease and stoke its 
anxieties. Recent instances 
of the entity have been seen 
wearing a black wristband, 
following its befriending a 
male depressive that had 
been begrudgingly taken 
along to an apartment party 
by local friends (Event - ). 
The entity soothed its 
target's anxieties by 
claiming it had recently 
struggled with depression 
as well, and reassuring the 
subject that "nothing [you] 
can do can ever be as bad 
as the fear of actually doing 
it". Upon discovering Jace 
recording the target on its 


w Ryan" 


"Shaun" 


personal phone during a 
stilted attempt to be 
outgoing, the subject was 
discovered sometime later 
in the condo bathroom self- 
harming with a razor biade. 
Ryan is a college-aged male 
that is the consolidation of 
past guests’ humorous 
sensibilities into a single 
personality. Ryan often 
hovers on the periphery of 
friend groups and 
congregations in parties/ 
classes/other events, 
making jokes of a lewd and 
obscene nature. Honing its 
comedic timing and delivery 
has garnered the entity 
minor notoriety in areas 
local to the event and on the 
internet. The Foundation 
has intercepted YouTube 
videos depicting Ryan 
performing jokes and skits. 
Parody site "Where is Ryan 
Sandiego?" started by 
Brooklyn native 
following a book club event 
hijacked by the entity (Event 
- ) to perform an 
impromptu routine was 
promptly shut down after the 
webmaster declared his 
intent to track down the 
entity and introduce him to 
New York comedy scene. 
Shaun is a belligerent, 
physically aggressive male 
of university age that 


"Tiffany" 


manifests in house party 
and rave scenarios. As 
physical altercations at 
SCP-1533 events are 
exceedingly rare, the 
behavioral data relegated to 
this entity has been slow to 
come. The entity has 
provoked three separate 
confrontations, the latter of 
which resulted in a single 
guest concussed on the 
floor and the contacting of 
authorities. The entity was 
initially observed to only 
engage with victims 
erratically, eschewing any 
particular style or technique. 
Recent instances of this 
individual will question 
physically imposing and 
inebriated guests if they are 
in fact involved in any 
martial art or defensive 
discipline, and ask them to 
demonstrate techniques. 
Foundation agents are 
strongly advised to prevent 
the Shaun individual from 
conferring with skilled 
combatants. 

A distressed female in her 
late teens appearing in 
house party scenarios. 
Tiffany is the consolidation 
of all displays of anguish, 
anxiety, sorrow, regret, and 
affliction SCP-1533 has 
witnessed. Tiffany functions 
symbiotically with the David 


"David" 


entity in order to fulfill their 
specific roles. The entity 
follows a set route of 
behaviors over the course of 
an event. The first third of 
the function is spent 
befriending choice guests 
that appear most desirous 
of her and/or exhibiting 
signs of latent anger/ 
insecurity. Should such 
guests prove rare, Tiffany 
will exploit the protective 
instincts of specific guests 
instead to provoke the 
intended violence. In the 
second third the entity will 
disappear for upwards of an 
hour with the David 
individual into a closed 
bedroom or bathroom. In 
the latter third, Tiffany will 
be found crying ina 
conspicuous location, 
claiming she had been 
sexually assaulted by David 
in the time she was away. 
Reactions from concerned 
guests have ranged from 
contacting the authorities to 
inflicting severe bodily harm 
on David. 

David is a specific entity 
modeled after a pain 
fetishist discovered by 
SCP-1533 in a rave party 
scenario. David derives 
pleasure from the pain 
inflicted on it in its dual role 
with Tiffany. In the instances 


“Officers Brady and 
Barstoe" 


that the entity is detained by 
the authorities, the being 
serves as reconnaissance in 
the outside world. 
Assimilation of procedural 
protocol by local police and 
exposure to the surrounding 
city at large has greatly 
magnified the intelligence's 
input of data. David will 
inexplicably disappear 
exactly the morning 
following being taken to a 
local station. Foundation 
agents are to administer 
Class-A amnestics to 
relevant persons upon 
confirmation of a David 
appearance in any given 
scenario. 

Modeled after the data 
collected by the Dave entity 
when it is apprehended by 
authorities, officers Brady 
and Barstoe have made a 
single appearance to date 
during Event - , ahouse 
party scenario. Claiming to 
have been called to the 
scene due to noise 
complaints, the individuals 
were able to deceive the 
assembly into believing they 
were real officers through 
diction and confidence in 
procedure. As with all 
SCP-1533 individuals, it is 
unknown how the 
intelligence was able to 
secure authentic PD 


uniforms and the standard- 
issue Beretta 92F given to 
officers in the county. 
Originally amicable and 
sympathetic with the plight 
of party guests, the officers 
offered the party goers an 
ultimatum: should they keep 
the noise level down and be 
allowed to remain on the 
premises, the party may 
continue. Though an 
unusual request, guests 
were receptive and the 
scenario continued as 
planned. It is speculated by 
the Foundation the officers 
harbor the intelligence's 
sadistic impulse, as what 
followed could not have 
possibly been modeled after 
any previous social 
interactions. By EMT, 
officers Brady and Barstoe 
barred access to the master 
bedroom after handcuffing 
ten guests to the head of 
the bed and forced them to 
play a variation of a Russian 
Roulette with a nearly fully 
loaded .357 S&W magnum 
revolver. Guests were 
forced to record the scene 
on the personal phone and 
send the recordings to 
family and friends of victims. 
Agent was able to 
successfully gain access to 
the master bedroom and 
authorized to use deadly 


force. Officers Brady and 
Barstoe were killed in the 
ensuing fire fight, severing 
the master link between 
them and subordinate 
entities, rendering them 
comatose. Amnestics were 
administered to victims and 
recordings were intercepted 
in time. The collective of 
SCP-1533 were contained 
and transported to nearest 
facility for detainment. 
Entities regained 
consciousness in a weeks' 
time. 


+ Addendum 1533-01 


Addendum 1533-01: SCP-1533 now forgoes all 
pretense of friendliness when consorting with human 
beings. As D-class are informed of entities' deceitful 
capacity, recent attempts to foment unrest in the 
containment site through D-class subjects have been 
met with failure. As of / /  , twelve (12) subjects have 
been assaulted by the entities for attempting to exit the 
containment chamber early. The knowledge of its "game" 
being found out, and the challenge of ingratiating itself 
yet again to subjects it has harmed, has taught 
SCP-1533 how to feign remorse and compassion with a 
formidable persuasion.
