Jack Bright

Dr. Jack Bright is a highly eccentric researcher working under the SCP Foundation's Administrative Department. Due to being bound to SCP-963, Bright is essentially immortal and can take over the body of whoever touches the pendant. However, instead of being classed as another SCP, Bright's usefulness has allowed him to keep working for the Foundation.
==Biography==
===Early life===
===Recruitment ===
Jack Bright ascended to the top of his fields: bioengineering and abnormal genetics. When his younger brother was captured by the SCP Foundation and designated SCP-590, Bright was recruited as well due to his intelligence and renowned work. His first assignment in the Scientific Department was dedicated to researching SCP-963's capabilities.Personnel Director Bright's Personnel File
===Researching SCP-5369===
Jack Bright conducted research with SCP-5369's research team and briefly interacted with SCP-5369-A.Entry Page: 5369
===The 963 Incident===
During a research session, SCP-076-2 escaped from SCP-076-1 and breached containment. Bright was killed while transporting SCP-963. When D1-113, a Class-D personnel, was assigned to clear the rubble less than ten days after, he picked up 963 and his body was taken over by Jack Bright.
In an interview with Dr. ████, Bright insisted that he was who he said he was, only being proven once 963-1 was taken away and brain function seized. As Bright was highly dedicated to the Foundation's cause, he was not classed as an SCP and continued to work as a researcher at the Foundation. Eventually, he managed to become the Director of Personnel at Site-17, Site-19, and Site-63; likely, this was to keep him out of others' way.Entry Page: 963
===SCP-590===
At the insistence of Bright, SCP-590 absorbed the mental deficiency from three subjects, rendering 590's mind to that of a three-year-old child, which made him easily tractable.Entry Page: 590

===SCP-1730===
In U-1730, Jack Bright was initially installed as director of Site-13 outside Nome, Alaska. After the orchestrated murder of Dr. Cynthia Light by United Nations Global Occult Coalition Undersecretary-General Paul Manafort, Bright was framed for the murder and thrown into a cell and treated as an SCP. He later was killed inside Site-13 while occupying the body of a 34-year-old human female. It is unknown if this death was permanent, as SCP-963 was not located on his neck. In 2016, a Mobile Access Drone exploring the dimensionally warped SCP-1730 in Big Bend State Park, Texas, discovered Bright's emaciated body.Entry Page: 1730
===Yesterday===
After a worldwide containment breach in 2020, Jack Bright was targeted by Dr. Alto Clef on the orders of O5-12 Troy Lament in order to satisfy the Bloom's activation procedures. Bright was ultimately, and permanently, killed with Clef launching SCP-963 into the Sun, finally letting him rest.Yesterday
===SCP-5000===
When the SCP Foundation discovered the Entity in human consciousness as part of Project PNEUMA, the O5 Council and Ethics Committee sent inoculating memetic agents to all personnel; however, due to SCP-963's effect, Bright wasn't affected by the images. As a result, he was targeted after the war on humanity began. Bright eventually occupied the body of a young girl during the war.
Bright eventually met Pietro Wilson on his way to Site-62C with SCP-500, where they talked about the events prior to the war. He told Wilson about his plan to throw the amulet down SCP-1437 and hope someone picks it up in another universe. They then said their goodbyes, wishing one another luck.Entry Page: 5000
==Personality==
Jack Bright is eccentric, amoral, chaotic, and unpredictable, as shown in the now-deleted Bright List. He's also shown to be loyal to the foundation and its mission. Bright also has a deep desire to permanently die.SCP-978 Extended Test Logs Bright loves Pokémon GO and gets violent or mad when people take his gyms before he can even get coins.Bright AMA Reddit source
==Attributes==
Jack Bright has the ability to transfer his mind to anyone who wears or touches SCP-963. Jack Bright is also resistant to psychic and emotional manipulation, making him most likely immune to Cognitohazard. Whether this is one of Bright's natural functions or a property of 963 is unknown and unable to be tested.
