SCP-035

SCP-035 ("The Possessive Mask") is a manipulative being taking the form of a theater mask that switches expressions on whim. The mask is highly cognitohazardous, as well as having the capability to secrete a highly corrosive substance from its eyes and mouth.
Previously, he was known as the Black Lord of Alagadda and the Wearer of the Anguished Mask. He was a member of the Masked Lords of Alagadda, a trio (formerly quartet) of noblemen that assist the Hanged King in ruling Alagadda. He wore the Anguished Mask, which hid the Black Lord's sinister nature. However, after a political dispute, the Black Lord was banished to Earth in the form of his mask.

==== Capture ====
After being banished to the "dimensional backwater" known as Earth, the Black Lord eventually made his way into Venice, Veneto, Italy, being captured by the SCP Foundation in a sealed crypt at an abandoned Venetian house in the 19th century and dubbed SCP-035, being contained at Site-19. It was soon discovered that 035 could possess anything with a humanoid figure, including humans, statues, mannequins, and even corpses. However, due to the corrosive substance that SCP-035 secretes, they all eventually degrade until motionlessness.Entry Page: 035
====Influence ====
After a failed escape attempt facilitated by SCP-035, convincing several Research Department personnel to free him, the perpetrators were terminated, and psychiatric evaluations were made mandatory for all those coming into contact with SCP-035. 035 was also determined to be telepathic, with extreme caution being advised regarding the selection of subjects for testing with 035. At some point, 035 expressed interest in many of the SCPs that possessed regenerative qualities, including SCP-682 and SCP-4715. Dr. ██████, a member of 035's research team, became worried that should 035 attach to any of the scips mentioned, 035 could become unstoppable since their healing factor would balance out the corrosive substance.
====Dormancy ====
The O5 Council declared that 035 be sealed in the facility and forbidden from host privileges after numerous escape attempts were made. After a riot that occurred among 035's research staff when this was announced, all 035 research staff were terminated and 035 became dormant. As a result, it was deemed that all personnel dealing with 035 must be rotated frequently and contact to be as limited as possible. Soon after this, personnel within 10 meters of 035 felt unease, suffered from migraines, and heard whispering. A motion to reinstate 035's host privileges were denied, as this was highly dangerous, especially for a Keter class.
035's containment walls began secreting a highly corrosive blood in patterns of the writings of several ancient languages and diagrams of sacrifice and mutilation, resembling research staff's family and friends. While examining these patterns, researchers heard whispering and high-pitched laughter. With these developments, morale dropped immensely, with all-time high suicidal rates in that wing of Site-19. The glass around 035 occasionally shatters as well, which resulted in six casualties among research and janitorial staff, of which three were fatalities. SCP-148 was proposed to coat the inner and outer walls of 035's containment chamber, which was granted. This resulted in morale to raise significantly and suicide rates to drop dramatically.
However, this only caused the negative energies to spike significantly in the chamber, resulting in temporary psychosis, deafening whispering, suicidal tendencies, migraines, hemorrhaging of blood vessels around the mouth, nose and eyes, more blood formations, increased acidity of the blood, and several other effects. At this time, the walls had roughly two months before complete degradation. Blood eventually coated all surfaces, requiring the use of a hazmat suit when inside the containment cell.
The intensity of the effects increased dramatically, with electronic devices no longer functioning, the cell door becoming stuck for periods of time while personnel are inside, appendages being created out of the corrosive blood and attacking personnel, apparitions forming, and other effects. Cleaning does little to alleviate the increasing blood, with the walls being forced to be replaced in mere days. Considerations are made to move 035 to a new cell and disengage the current cell.
==Alternate realities==
===Wasteland ===
After a nuclear apocalypse, 035 escaped from its cell and became one of many so-called Beasts to roam the post-apocalyptic Earth. Over the course of the next 300 years, he became known as the White Lord, waging war against the armies of the Holy Order of the Assemblage. Many myths were formed around the White Lord, including that he could destroy minds and souls, sat on a black throne, and could make walls bleed. These were believed by the straggler Gareth, who narrowly escaped a battle between the Assemblage and the White Lord's army.Wasteland
==Attributes==
==Containment procedures==
At all times, SCP-035 is kept within a ≥10 cm (4 in) hermetically sealed glass case, contained within a lead-shielded steel and iron room. The doors to SCP-073's room are always triple-locked, though personnel are allowed to enter or leave the room when the need arises. At least two guards must be present and posted at any point. These guards must always remain outside and are not allowed within the containment chamber in any circumstance. Research personnel must never touch SCP-035. 
Every two weeks, SCP-035 must be moved to a new case, as their current case will be permeated with 035's "corruption." Because of this "corruption", the previous case must be disposed of via SCP-101, due to it not being affected by the secretions. Due to SCP-035's negative influence upon humans, a psychologist must be on site at all times. An immediate psychological evaluation must be given to anyone who comes into contact with SCP-035 while it is possessing a host.
