He is an ancient and evil god worshiped by groups such as the Children of the Scarlet King as a ruthless powerful monarch often tied to the destruction of the current world as we know it. He serves as the overarching antagonist behind the articles SCP-231 and possibly SCP-2317, and the main antagonist of the "Operation MAGNOLIA" series. He is one of the many anomalies proposed for the title of "SCP-001", an entry originally written for the 2018 Doomsday Contest. Appearance In the tale "Three Short Scenes About Death" the Scarlet King is given a little description. His fist are described as massive and gnarled, holding the chains of his consorts and concubines. The same fists could effortlessly smash a man's throat. The King's voice is described as similar to "the chittering of a billion infinitesimal insects", and swirling and constantly moving. His voice also was neither "high nor low nor cacophonous nor methodical", simply just being. When the Scarlet King first appeared to the Serpent, he took the form of a girl in red clothes sitting on a rocking throne. On other occasions, the Scarlet King was depicted as a gigantic monstrous red whale that swam through the watery abyss, devoured everything in his path and dominated the food chain. According to Tufto's SCP-001 Proposal, the King is more akin to a living idea than an individual entity; in effect, he is the idea of nihilism, the people's dissatisfaction with the modern way of life, and can assimilate an entity thought to be him into an aspect of himself just as it did with SCP-2317-K. He is always depicted as figure with a crown-like ornament over his head showing royalty and associated with the color red, or in the cases of alien cultures lacking the perception of the color red the King would be associated with a color that would be synonymous or close with the color. In SCP-4989, Dr. Simon Kells described looking at the King "like staring at a Pattern Screamer only more hollow". When a group of Foundation agents confronted the physical form of the Scarlet King in his supposed throne room, he appeared as a young malnourished boy with hanging messy hair, crimson red eyes, wearing only a tunic and beaten sandals, and covered in blood, having taken the form of the first child who was sacrificed in his name. Drawn to the chaos caused during the Manhattan Crisis, the Scarlet King manifested himself as a false garden attempting to imitate nature, before battling SCP-2912-JP at which point he transformed into a headless humanoid with no lower body that was solely comprised of bones, fangs, organs, and blood vessels, while surrounded by seven rays of light that could form into gigantic hands and emitting laughing and screams resembling those of a baby. In "Dr. Wondertainment Goes Out With A Bang", the Scarlet King was described as having an anorexic thin humanoid body, standing exactly seven feet tall and emitting blinding red light. His skin resembled that of a burnt corpse, his hands were gnarled claws, and possessed two great antlers behind his head and multiple eyes on his face. When confronting Cornelius Wondertainment he wore a military uniform covered in medals and rank markers. In SCP-5641, the Scarlet King was described as ten trillion times Skanda's size, possessing seven mouths which spoke profanities, eyes that killed anyone who looked into them, and fourteen hands which he used to form all types of mudras. In SCP-6765, the King's body was described as a humanoid with a bleeding red maw surrounded by grasping arms and eyes while clouded by smoke and fire, and poured endless blood and released an endless inhumane scream. In ROUNDERHOUSE's Jade Proposal, the Scarlet King was depicted as a gigantic androgynous red humanoid being with an obscured face and always accompanying his avatar who was depicted as a sleeping man with a long beard, an elaborate headdress and carrying long spears across his back. When approached by Greaves the Scarlet King took the form of a vast red sea, and when he took possession of the lieutenant, manifested at first as Greaves' nervous system glowing red before taking the appearance of a 3 meter tall skinless humanoid with a bare skull, large horns resting atop his head and inscribed with pulsating symbols and markings. Personality The Scarlet King as an old god from the Abyss was shown to be a cruel, manipulative, greedy and selfish individual, though this was more of an image he held to his insecurity and cowardice. After coming into contact with the Tree of Life, he wished to make all of it his property, and if he were to fail then he would destroy existence so no one else would claim it. He became hellbent on conquering everything, especially the Tree of Life, by any means necessary, enslaving and devouring numerous gods and doing whatever pleased him. It is believed that if SCP-999 were to interact with the Scarlet King, then his heart would change and finally see the beauty of the world and abandon his quest of destruction. However, that turned out to be all a lie fabricated by a maddened O5. It was noted that the Scarlet King was always honest, instead having his subjects lie on his behalf. In Tufto's Proposal, however, it is shown that the Scarlet King has no true personality of his own, instead his nature being shaped by the belief of humanity. Because the Indians became furious at the British colonizers for studying and categorizing their culture, taking away their traditions and "civilizing" them, this caused the idea of the Scarlet King to develop and form a deep-seated hatred against the current state of modern world. Because most people believed that the Scarlet King was an ancient demonic god determined to end all existence, it became so, although it can be interpreted that destroying the world means to only destroy the current state of the world and return humanity to ancient feudalism, which would also result in him completing his mission and ceasing to exist. According to URA-9521, a cephalopod-like monster born from the union of the King and a Daeva matriarch, the King was for the most part a mindless force that learned from the people believing in the ideology he represented, and even advised the Foundation that they should concentrate more on his followers rather than the King himself. In ROUNDERHOUSE's Jade Proposal, not much is known about the Scarlet King's personality. The art representation of him portrayed the Scarlet King as a softer figure, appearing more magnanimously indifferent to the sacrifices offered by his Daeva rather than vengeful and demanding. He is also often depicted as dancing with his Maharaja, and the Daevas believe that the Scarlet King is their protector while he considered them his chosen people. He didn't take well to the arrival of the Foundation personnel in Korar, which disturbed his dreams that maintained the realm, but was willing to bond with Lt. Lucian Greaves in order to save the Daevas and get back at their common enemies. Powers and Abilities The Scarlet King's true power is unknown, though he can impregnate various females in groups of seven with his Scarlet Spawn, whose birth caused great catastrophes around the world. Legends portray him as capable to conquer and destroy entire worlds and civilizations, and threaten other low elder gods. The Scarlet King is stated to be powerful enough to threaten all of Creation and the Tree of Knowledge itself, making him a multiversal threat. He also feeds on the negative feelings of people as he did with Dr. Clef which resulted in the latter's madness and is apparently responsible for giving most reality-benders their powers. Although he and his followers were able to defeat both Mekhane and Nahash, in another account he was described as being weaker than his aunt Yaldabaoth, the Brothers Death, Ama Kubeya and Sanna, having defeated the latter only through the help of Jeser. In SCP-6765, the King's corpse is shown to be capable of mass destruction and had power over blood and the memories stored in it, as shown when confronted by armed Foundation agents it simply removed their memories on how to operate a firearm. In SCP-8008's altered reality of Eluthertopia, the Scarlet King was the source of the Anti-Magic, a form of creation magic that was sent back in time to convert matter into pure energy, in a way destroying matter, which counteracted the Metegian creation magic of the three goddesses Inanna, Gaea and Mary, though they could be combined and used interchangeably. As a living idea born from humanity's dissatisfaction with the lifeless modern world and the desire to return to the old ways of life, the Scarlet King was created and shaped by humanity, acting as premodernity's vengeance against modernity and as long as modernity exists in its current state the Scarlet King would also persist existing. As a result, the Scarlet King exists as an entity in the noosphere, the human collective consciousness, just like SCP-3125, WAN, SCP-6820-A and possibly the Neon God, and could both affect and be affected by humanity: the idea of the King would haunt those who learned about his true nature, inflicting dreams in them and corrupting them, while various incarnations of the King would be created from the belief of various legends, such as his origin as a god which would be retroactively written as somewhat being the case. When people began interacting with the idea of the Scarlet King, he would also affect reality by creating portals to a hellish dimension, create sounds of hymns sung about him, manifest human blood in specific places and fires that formed imagery about him. However, the Foundation would later use SCP-6659 to completely destroy the idea of the Scarlet King from the noosphere, trapping him inside a sacrificial dagger acting as his totem and liberating humanity from his influence. In SCP-5317, it is revealed that the Scarlet King is a pawn of the anafabula designated as SCP-2747. Because the Scarlet King has the character tropes of a stereotypical Big Bad of a story, he acts as a plot point that allows 2747 to manifest in the story. SCP-2747 used the Scarlet King to drive stories to boring and unsatisfying endings which paved way for the antinarrative to manifest itself and devour the entirety of those realities. In SCP-6747, after Dr. King partially merged with SCP-2747, becoming a powerful antinarrative entity designated SCP-6747-C, he also became an iteration of the Scarlet King, suggesting that most if not all incarnations of the Scarlet King are manifestations of SCP-2747. In ROUNDERHOUSE's Jade Proposal, the Scarlet King was a formless god representing the survival in the unforgiving nature. Although he was left in a weakened state his dreams of the Daeva and Korar became real, albeit in the astral plane which was likely connected to the Oneiroi dreamworld. As the Daevas were nature spirits, the Scarlet King held great power over plant life, or more broadly over nature. However, he alone was unable to maintain Korar and needed to possess an avatar, the Scarlet Maharaja, to reach his full potential. The Scarlet Maharaja was one of the most powerful sorcerers the world had ever seen, but was limited by the fact that he needed to be put asleep in order for the Daevas and Korar to exist. Only those with a strong mind could host the Scarlet as his being could easily annihilate the mind of a normal human. Lucian Greaves proved to be strong enough to be possessed by the Scarlet, causing them to manifest in a new body separate from the lieutenant's original one, and easily massacred an entire fleet of modified Mekhanites without even touching them.
