Hello,

I am seeking some greenlights to start writing my first draft. Here is the basic idea:

Core Concept:

SCP-8187 is a two-dimensional entity with abilities that seem nearly omnipotent. It can change its form, manipulate reality, ignore the laws of physics, and control time. It has two main forms: a humanoid one with wings (which it calls "Bronze") and a pentagonal shape.  

Containment:

To keep it contained, it needs to be in a graphene enclosure with samples of all 92 naturally occurring metals. Even though it could easily escape, it stays in containment as long as it has the metals.  

Behavior:

SCP-8187 doesn't seem to be malicious and actually shows a fondness for humanity. It disappears for about five minutes at a time and communicates telepathically. The entity enjoys learning about human history and culture.  

I'm new here, so if there is any steps I am missing, I'd appreciate the corrections and guidance. Thank you.

Sorry for the wrong formatting; I will ensure that I verify the pinned threads and give my idea accordingly in my next post.

Regarding your second point, rest assured that this idea is my own original work and not AI-generated in any capacity. I can see why you'd be concerned, since AI-generated material tends to be lacking in the nuances and novelty we aim for in SCP ideas. I'm developing this idea around the concept of omnipotence, an idea I've been pondering recently, and also an original character I thought about and illustrated a few years ago.

Thank you for pointing these out and I hope to be able to show you a properly formatted version of my concept for criticism in the near future.

Page Type: SCP Article

Genre (Optional): Science Fiction, Mystery, Potential for Horror elements

Page Layout (Optional): Standard SCP Article format

Elevator Pitch: A two-dimensional being with a benevolent appearance and nearly omnipotent powers needs a precise configuration of every naturally occurring metal to contain it and has expressed a desire to cooperate with the Foundation, even going so far as to intervene in other SCPs' containment breaches.

Central Narrative: The report is a summary of the containment and discovery of SCP-8187, a potent two-dimensional entity. It provides the entity's unusual containment procedures, its interactions with Foundation personnel, demonstrated utility, and implications of its ability, particularly with regards to another potential hostile entity and other SCP objects. The story is presented through the initial containment, observed behaviors, and significant events of SCP-8187's ability and personality.

Hook/Attention-Grabber (Optional): The contrast of SCP-8187's massive power and his seemingly benign appearance, along with its bizarre request for a complete set of Earth metals, creates a curious anomaly. Its disruption of SCP-173 containment brings into sharp relief questions regarding his motives as well as his power limits.

Additional Notes (Optional): Object class has been updated to Thaumiel since SCP-8187 is actively assisting in the containment of other anomalies. Interaction with the potentially hostile entity "Eliza Glockenspiel" and the long-term consequences of their interaction are under ongoing research.

Thanks for taking the time to give such detailed feedback on my idea. Your point about the "overpowered humanoid" trope was a really good observation, and it's definitely made me rethink things.

Just to clarify a few of the points you brought up:

Benevolence, Not Just "Helpful":
My intention wasn't for SCP-8187 to deliberately want to help the Foundation. It's more about an inherent sense of kindness where it naturally creates positive outcomes and tries to prevent greater harm based on its own (sometimes unusual) moral code. So its actions might not always line up with our ethics, which is something I want to explore.

Motivation for Metals:
I'm considering the idea that it sees the metal setup as a form of worship it accepts (even if the Foundation wouldn't see it that way). It's more about its perspective and how it interacts with our world rather than a practical need for it.

Why Care?:
I'm hoping the intrigue will come from learning about its different kind of morality, the mystery of where it's from and what it is, and the potential problems that come up because of its goodness and its connection to the potentially malevolent "Eliza Glockenspiel." The Foundation trying to study and contain all this will be a big part of the story.

SCP-173:
You're right, I'm probably going to redact the SCP number for now to keep things a bit more vague.

Foundation Containment & SRAs:
After you mentioned it, I looked into Scranton Reality Anchors, and I agree it's something I need to address. I'm thinking its basic two-dimensional nature might make SRAs less effective or even cause unexpected issues.

I'm not sure which anomaly you are referring to when you say, "why would the Foundation not contain this anomaly?" Is it Eliza, the main SCP, or the [REDACTED] SCP? Assuming you mean the [REDACTED] SCP, I guess it does make sense that the anomaly should be contained using an SRA, I just thought it might be a good story element to update his object class to Thaumiel, so it could directly show his benevolence rather than just telling it. But if it makes more sense for the Foundation to use an SRA, that's fine.

Your feedback was super helpful, and I'm focusing on building those areas, especially its unique morality and the dynamic with Eliza.

If you have any other thoughts, please let me know.

Thanks again for the constructive criticism – it's really helping me make the idea better!

P.S. No I did not use AI.

Best way I can describe it is like paper with zero length, but still visible and not penetrable.

Sorry, I meant to reply to the person who asked about his 2D body. I said I did not use AI in the P.S. of my post

I can’t really prove it then. Also, what do you mean by “Zyyyyn…”?

Oh i see

So, did my idea just get rejected or am I supposed to create a new thread with an improvised version? I’m not entirely sure how this works
