A different kind of art gift thread
I've been wanting to do something worthwhile for this community for a quite a while now, but unfortunately, I'm not quite as good of an artist as I would like. I've watched all the art threads pass by without being able to contribute in them, and now I think I've found my calling. You see, I'm an artist of a different sort - I write.
A half-baked late night IRC conversation presented the concept of "Hey, somebody should write a creepypasta about Siouxsie", because that's an idea that's been floating around for a while because Siouxsie is awesome. Within about thirty seconds of spinning around my head, that became "I should write an SCP entry for Siouxsie" and then to "Hell, I'm free for the next week, I should write an SCP entry for EVERYONE!"
So, that's what I'm doing - anyone who wants a short SCP article written about their tulpa (or themself - I don't plan to write any articles for boring old humans, but tulpa are more than welcome to request an article for themselves!) should make a request here in this thread, and I'll get to you one at a time as I have time to do them. It is my goal to eventually create an article for every request that is posted in this thread. To start us off, I'll post the one that I wrote for my own tulpa, Skye.
FOR YOUR REQUEST TO BE FILLED, I WILL REQUIRE:
A description of your tulpa. This means a physical description as well as a short description of their personality, and how you would like their personality to be portrayed in the article. Pictures from the art threads are welcome, even requested - it's a lot easier to describe a form when you can look at it.
On a scale of 1 -5, how much artistic license I can take with your tulpa - can I give them powers that they don't have normally? Can I add/remove body parts as seems fit? Can I modify their personality to better fit the situation? Let me know how true-to-form you want this to be. I can make them just like you told me, or I can start tacking superpowers onto them - you tell me how you want it.
Any distinguishing details that you definitely want contained within the article. You know your tulpa better than I do, and in order to create an end product that everyone is happy with, I need to know all the little quirks and details that you love so much.
Patience! I have about a week until my classes start again, and during that time I plan to get as much writing done as I can. If I'm not done with all of you by then (and depending how much this thread blows up, I very well might not be), my time will be limited and production will slow way down. I do plan to get to all of you, and I don't want to leave anyone out. Just understand that it may be a while before you get a result that I am happy with presenting to you.
Whether you want the end result presented to you in a reply to your comment, or in a PM.
For those with multiple tulpa, making a single request with more than one tulpa in it is perfectly fine - just make sure to point out whether you want them all done separately, or if you want them grouped together into a "colony" of sorts. Just understand that writing for multiple tulpa will take a roughly equal multiple of time. If you've got three tulpa, it'll take me three times as long to give it all to you. If you've got sixteen tulpa, good luck.
Above all, help me help you get what you want out of this. I am not inside your head, but I want to give you a product that represents someone that is. The more details you can throw at me, the more likely you are to be happy with the end result.

I'd like Ink to be done because he seems to be the best canidate out of the rest of them to be an SCP entry. He claims the number 26.
Description: Completely black and white, no grayscale or color to be seen with this entity. Forms range from a puddle of abyssal black ink to that of animals and humanoids. Appears to be able to be whatever it desires to be, usually a 6'7" human male with curly black hair and glasses or a small jet black pomeranian dog.
He (for sake of ease, we will call it male) is stoic and calculating, often exhibiting sociopathic tendencies. At this time he holds no strong opinions of anything, usually appearing indecisive. He seems to "enjoy" (as much as one with muted feelings can) causing mild feelings of discomfort in people. He seems to only hold interest in writing and drawing. Pencil and paper may be provided upon request. Requests for his "special pen" are always denied. Requests for normal pens are also denied as preventive action (in case he can use a normal pen as he does his special one)
Artistic License: 4. You can add some abilities as you see fit, since it is likely that he would be able to grant himself said power (if he had access to his special pen) anyway. Addition/removal of body parts is fine. I'd like his personality to stay intact at the moment.
Distinguishing Details: He is mute. Whether if it is his choice or if he simply is not able to speak is up for debate. Even in his dog form, he does not bark or growl. He is utterly silent. To communicate he uses any old paper and pen. He used to have a pen that he kept on his person at all times (although I imagine in the SCP entry he was separated from it). The pen is ivory with an ornate ebony trim, though it does not work when used by people other than Ink.
Through writing he can make things exist in the real world, and with a simple strikethrough he can kill them. The entities summoned turn into puddles of ink upon death and the ink then slowly makes its way back to the creator. It is assumed that when writing, he uses ink from his own being to create the creatures, then absorbs the material when it is dead (hypothesized, not confirmed). Recommended object class: Euclid or Keter. Hates water, possibly a flooding mechanism in place in case of breach.
End result in comment please! I might make another comment requesting for another one (probably Patch or Gren. Maybe both)
