Absolute Johannes factotum
- SCP-171 (?)
- SCP-171 is a massive, web-like network of neurons, glands, and muscle fibers suspended in a frothy foam, spanning hundreds of square meters. It doesn't move or actively harm creatures, but instead forms a symbiotic relationship with any living organism that spends significant time in its foam, integrating them into a collective consciousness. Individuals covered by the foam feel a tingling sensation as the tendrils connect directly to their nervous system, eventually causing their unique personalities to merge into a single shared mind. Once integrated, removal from SCP-171 causes severe psychological distress and a vegetative state. It is contained in a large pool of seawater at a research facility.
- Clement Vallandigham (?)
- Clement Vallandigham was a prominent American lawyer and politician who led the "Copperhead" faction of anti-war Democrats during the American Civil War. Serving in the U.S. House of Representatives for Ohio, he was a vocal critic of President Abraham Lincoln and the war, advocating for states' rights and a peaceful resolution, even proposing a four-section division of the country. In 1863, he was arrested by military authorities for publicly opposing the war, tried by court-martial, and exiled to the Confederacy, an act that sparked significant controversy over civil liberties. He continued his political activities from exile in Canada, running unsuccessfully for governor of Ohio. Vallandigham later returned to the U.S. and, in a bizarre turn of events, died in 1871 after accidentally shooting himself while demonstrating how a murder victim might have shot himself in a courtroom.
