SCP-096 Sad Origin Story

Dr Bob brings you SCP Foundation Euclid Class object, SCP-096 The Shy Guy Animation.
Join the DR BOB SQUAD by going to / drbob and become an Honorary Member of the Dr. Bob Research Staff!
SCP 096 is a humanoid creature measuring approximately 2.38 meters in height. Subject shows very little muscle mass, with preliminary analysis of body mass suggesting mild malnutrition.
SCP096 is normally extremely docile, with pressure sensors inside its cell indicating it spends most of the day pacing by the eastern wall. However, when someone views SCP-096's face, whether it be directly, via video recording, or even a photograph, it will enter a stage of considerable emotional distress. SCP-096 will cover its face with its hands and begin screaming, crying, and babbling incoherently. Approximately one (1) to two (2) minutes after the first viewing, SCP-096 will begin running to the person who viewed its face.

I knew SCP-096 was an psychologically tormented man, but I never expected him to kill people because he hallucinates his surroundings as the mountain he was on and the people who see him as the entity that ruined his life which was SCP-1529: King of the Mountain.

dr bob already made a vid of the origin story for the scp who lives atop the mountain and it showed 096s origin story

[@user-xl1du3gp6q]

This sad story of SCP-096 just made my head explode So this is why SPC-096 attacks the people that looks at him. He's afraid of The King of the Mountain and his eyes 🤯

[@Zeruel3]

That was a really good origin story for SCP 096, I always headcanoned that he was a leftover from the Seventh Occult War, some poor soul who was experimented on by the Obskuracorps and turned into SCP-096. This one's really good though, would've never imagined he could be tied to SCP-1529 so well

[@Nightraven4321]

But it never answered the actual questions why does he kill people who look at him why does he have a sense when people look at why does he do what he does

@@Nightraven4321 my guess a sense of vanity perhaps... he wanted to conquer the mountain ( asking the mountain king for the crown no less) and be recognized but he ended up failing , being beaten and broken in that form.

[@flippindude8590]

@@Nightraven4321he kills people who look at him as, according to the video, he kind of hallucinated their gaze to be like that of the king of the mountain’s. He has a deep trauma from what the king of the mountain put him through while the entire time the king would just stare at him. Tired of this, he doesn’t want to experience such a thing anymore and so he kills anyone who sees his face. Because their gaze reminds him of how the king of the mountain looked at him, the same being that caused him so much pain.

@@flippindude8590 well that was not what the video said so it was not according to the video but it still does not answer two major questions why does he have the ability to sense when someone looks at him and why does he has the ability to sense where they are

@@Nightraven4321 well it’s kind of implied that he feels trauma and such due to the king of the mountain and such and his experiences led to him becoming what we now know as shy guy.

Good thing for us viewers, seeing an artist depiction of 096 doesn't set 096 off. It makes the Tattoo-Artist D-Class sacrifice in drawing 096 face worth it since we can know what 096 looks like without being hunted down by 096. Sadly the sacrifice part came from the fact the D-Class had to look at 096's face before drawing it. At least it was done in a way no one else had to see 096's face and become it's victim as well. Unlike a certain incident Dr. Dan and Dr. Aleksi put together.

[@terryhager7248]

dude got what was coming to him for being cocky and climbing Mt. Everest even after he was warned, and him killing them was because he went crazy after experiencing pure torture from the other SCP causing it and that whole thing about him seeing the eyes was a side effect of the torture done onto him

The origin story, though cool (pun intended), makes it seem that you have to directly look at the creature itself for it to activate. However, it can and "has" escaped containment after someone had looked at a picture of it. I doubt mental torture would give anyone the ability to know when someone is looking at them via a picture, let alone find out where they are in the world.

Really? That's the part you doubt? Not the whole climbing a mountain for years without supplies or rest thing?

this made me think of a beautiful quote... "One must imagine Sisyphus happy"

[@Kirin5731]

Here's how SCP-1529 was made: Project Isorropia Vol 2 Upon the death of the previous SCP-2200-2, SCP-2200-1 relocated. At the same time, all living SCP-2200-4 instances abandoned SCP-2200-3 and promptly ceased animation. Video recordings captured instances screaming of "the cold grip of death." No new instances of SCP-2200-4 have appeared. SCP-2200-1 was later discovered at the peak of Mt. Everest, standing upright with its blade driven into the mountain's surface. A thick layer of ice has formed around the entirety of SCP-2200-1 and it has not relocated since. All SCP-5140 instances have been found to no longer anomalously absorb heat energy and have undergone advanced decay. A misinformation campaign is in progress to cover-up the large amount of silver that is now found to make up Mt. Everest. The identity of the new SCP-2200-2, if one exists, is currently under investigation. - Dr. Zero

No it isnt this is not an origin to the shy guy this is an origin to the mister he is called the shy guy because of his abilities and how he acts it never explains any of this all it explains is how he became a monster not why he is the shy guy

Wow! This is amazing, love how Dr. Bob gave the shy guy depth, what an amazing backstory. Although his story started off with him being smug and over confident in his abilities, it's sad in the end cos he didn't just pay for his arrogance so many other people did and probably still will.

One thing i dont think has yet to be tested is how or if it can reach unreachable locations. Like say you look at its face but yiur on a boat, can it swim? Whqt if your deep underwater, can it dive? What if yiur on a space station or another planet and yiu look at its face, what will it do if it is physically impossible for it to get to you?
