Goretober 2023: Found Footage Gift piece for my spouse @hellscythearts ! It's tradition for me to draw Nos every year (been doing it since my very first Goretober), but I haven't been able to for a while due to conventions and a pending redesign. It was finally time to get back to it <3!
Because I make so many AUs. Have Nos. SCP AU of MZ (technichally).
Description under the cut!
Designation: SCP-0667, Nos (derivative of Nosferatu) Sex | Species: Male | ??? Height: 12′7″ AppearingAge: Early 30s Age: As old as Humanity itself. Classification: Euclid, Keter class
Nos is an SCP, Keter Class. He's been around since Humans have existed, primarily because they are his food source.
How he eats is by piercing the flesh of a victim and then drinks the liquified insides until the body is nothing but dry flesh (think Cell).
How this is done is through a symbiotic relationship Nos has with microscopic creatures (SCP-0667-B) that act as an extension of self. They essentially enter a target's body through any opening, usually under the nails or through being inhaled, or opening of some sort (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, wounds, etc). Upon breaching, they liquidize the prey from the inside-- Bone, blood, muscle, fat, anything and everything. The description of the victim before death as the insides are liquified for the SCP to eat is the unpleasant sensation of 'bugs' under the skin or the 'static' that comes with loss of feeling in a limb, like when it falls asleep, moving from the extremities of the prey first towards the center of the body, to reduce thrashing and expelling of the insides.
The reach of the 0667-B emits a sort of field also makes it easier for Nos to adapt to populated areas in his smaller forms (to blend in with the organics); the microscopic entities settle in a potential group of prey's brains, broadcasting brain waves to SCP-0667, essentially comparable to mind reading.
While inside the brain, the creatures emit endorphins that prevent victims from entering a panicked state, though they seem to have a side effect of allowing Nos to discern their language and thoughs, or to read their actions to a degree.
This field can cause minor amnesia, like a group of prey not realizing one of their own is missing, and triggers their brains to fill the gaps so that if one victim is picked off from the group, the rest of the herd will simply not realize the absence.
It is noted that the creature's blood glows, and is shown through the veins in it's wings and dried scars, though it's teeth and claws seem to do the same. Despite this, Nos has a lethal weakness to light of any kind, regardless of if it is artificial or natural, and sunlight in particular is fatal. Lamps, flashlights, and even cell phone light all cause burns to appear on it's flesh. This weakness only weakens when its form seems to change (only witnessed by the SCP who calls himself Athen).
The creature is 12 ft tall, and has a 50 ft wingspan. This may change, however, depending on the state of hunger of the SCP. When full, he has the minor ability to hide in shadows, and his wings take the appearance of tattoos on the back. His height changes to around 7 ft, assumed so that he can try to blend in with his prey. He has trouble standing in direct sunlight without severe burns, but has a no repercussions from artificial light in this stage. His form only changes as his hunger grows, and the size will increase until he has achieved 12ft again.
Thanks to con prep I’m behind on Goretober so I’m doing stuff out of order. Annual art of @hellscythearts spooky boy! Used my own photo for the BG <3!
Goretober: Foreboding
A quickie sketch for @hellscythearts cause it’s tradition to draw this boy every year <3 went for cryptid energy on this boy!
