SCP-0963, Dr. Elias Shaw.

RAISA Notice: The following is a revision to a previous iteration of this file. Due to the outdated and inconsistent information contained in that file, it has been marked as obsolete, pending review.

Special Containment Procedures:

Description: Upon contact with SCP-0963 the creature or person affected will immediately take on the personality and identity of Dr. Elias Shaw. This effect appears to override and wipe the existing personality of the affected individual, a condition that is currently believed to be unrecoverable. Persons or creatures affected by SCP-0963 are, for all practical purposes, Dr. Elias Shaw. This process only occurs if Dr. Shaw is not touching the medallion personally, and does not occur if Dr. Shaw is holding, wearing, or in some way connected physically to SCP-0963.

Any person or creature that had previously been affected by SCP-0963 will, at the moment of transference, fall into an immediate vegetative state. Brain scans of post-affected persons have revealed a near-complete absence of electrical activity in the frontal lobe, with non-human creatures being similarly affected. As a result, only one instance of Dr. Elias Shaw can exist at any given time. Furthermore, should the host body of SCP-0963 be killed, the personality of Dr. Shaw will remain in a state of stasis1 within SCP-0963 until the next time the medallion comes in contact with a suitable host. To date, the following creatures have been identified as potential hosts for SCP-0963:

  • Homo sapiens^
  • Pan troglodytes^
  • Gorilla gorilla^
  • Pongo pygmaeus^
  • Canis lupus familiaris^
  • Equus caballus^
  • Sus scrofa domesticus^
  • Bos taurus
  • Corvus corax^
  • Nymphicus hollandicus^
  • Columba livia
  • Carassius auratus2

^ Denotes a host in which SCP-0963 is capable of producing speech.

Dr. Ansel Shaw

Dr. Elias Blake Shaw. Dr. Shaw is the son of renowned Foundation researchers Dr. Ansel Shaw3 and Dr. Carolyn Blake-Shaw4. Dr. Shaw was a twenty-nine year old Junior Researcher at the time of the initial 0963-Transference event, but was retained as staff instead of being remanded to containment after a 7-6 vote by the SCP Foundation Overseer Council (See Addendum 0963.2).

Dr. Shaw's condition was determined to have presented the Foundation with a unique opportunity. As Dr. Shaw does not age within SCP-0963, it is possible for Dr. Shaw's personality to be implanted into the bodies of individuals who are braindead, terminally ill and subject to euthanasia, or who have been scheduled to die as a function of state capital punishment
