How to Horror: Proxies of Slenderbeings

Disclamer
Any copyrighted content used in this review is  used under the "Fair Use" law for commentary and Criticism. The following is simply a louse suggest on how to use horror themes and is by no way a guide line which must be followed at all costs, there are always variables! 


Introduction
Originally I was going to do this in one huge chunk, with proxies being just one of the many topics I covered on one huge "slave/minion" How To Horror, but I decided against it last minuet~ Now if you don't know what a proxy is think of the slave trade, like any one there has ever been. Proxies are basically servants/slaves to greater powers. Most of the time, when you do see proxy charters they are done badly since the fundamentals are flawed. The following a basic explanation and description of the foundations of these theme.





The facts
The word proxy, in the context I'll be using in, was a word coined by DarkHarvest00  in a series of short videos about two young friends who find themselves tied up among the workings of the being known as the Slenderman. The series was inspired by  MarbleHornets , a marathon of pretty awesome videos about a tone of crazy people who are being stalked and controlled by the slenderrmn. In both productions humans are seemingly controlled against there will to for-fill the wishes of everyone's fervent child eating, site-wearer, faceless being, Slenderman. By itself, proxy is the genetic name given to though who serve under the rule of the Slenderman or others of his "race".

Throughout the rest of this How To i'll be referring to the proxy law made by Chibi-Works , a dear friend of mind, based on the aforementioned series. Click [here] to read these laws for yourself. Now, let's talk about the basic ground rule which is repeated time and time again; proxies are basically slaves with little to no free will. Think of proxies like Sims - you, in this hypothetical situation representing slenderman, can control your sims (sims representing proxies) to make them do whatever you want, like send them to work, make them cook food or, like me, drown them in a swimming pool. Now Sims have some degree of freedom and can walk about, talk, ect, without your instructions BUT fundamentally if you tell them to dance, they dance, if you tell them to sing, they sing, and so on. The way slenderman does this is as follows, stated in law three of the above mentioned rules.
Reins may be placed on a Proxy, in the form of an illness. Prolonged distance from the Owner shall cause the Proxy to feel extreme pain, or suffer from a lapse in memory, which shall allow the Owner to possess the mind and bring them back.In short this means "if a proxy disobeys it will be brutally punished". To stay alive proxies must obey their master, since they are simply tools that can be thrown away. Proxies can be terminated as and when the master sees fit because proxies are only ever mere humans.



To retrial proxies are weak humans used as tools by greater begins for their own pleasure. Justly proxies can't have any kind of ability which would make them freakishly strong and hence be a danger to its master. Proxies can't be disobedient or they will be killed and finally, proxies should always be dispensable.

If you want a physically guideline I recommend you just read the proxy laws set down by Chibi-Works which can be found [here] . Click it!



How to apply

As briefly mentioned above Slenderman isn't the only one who can have proxies, other slender beings can have proxies also. To name a few there is Splenderman, a brightly coloured slender being who's known for being very jolly, Offenderman, a trench-coat wearing pervert, Tenderman, a "fabulous" version of slenderman, you get the idear. Proxies of each tend to be similar to there masters, for example, Splenders proxies may be more jolly and brightly coloured, while Offenders may be.. sluts, to put it kindly.

Also, before I forget, the Slender Sicknesses, the aforementioned "reins" placed on a proxy, is a incurable illnesses which can be taylor made to fit each proxy. Mild symptoms include coughing and dizziness while more extreme symptoms can include vomiting, blacking out, chronic pains. The illness will subside/get better when the proxy is around its master but get worse when it spends to much time away from said master.

When making a poxy make sure to consider what would make them useful as a proxy, what skills do they have? My own personal proxies have skills in networking, destruction of unwanted information and medicine. Is your proxy smart, strong, has a cool skill? Cause I'm a lovely person, here's a template for you all to fill in, if you choose to make a proxy any time soon

What to avoid

So i'm going to sensor these as best I can to protect the identity of the OC owners but here are some examples of proxies that break the rules. I'm not necessarily saying they are bad OCs but they don't work very well as proxies and would probably work better as stand along charters. I wish the crates the best in making break OCs in the future. As  whole just don't over power your proxies and make sure you're very aware of their cut off points; "they can't be more powerful than x because x"









Where to learn more

Well, unlike my other how to's, homework this week is going to be a video!! Get some popcorn jokes and get ready for.. probably several hours of proxy killed fun, curtesy of Marble Hornets; [link]

Sorry this one took so long, i hope it did its job~

will i be able to change a little bit of things, like: my "slenderbeing" actually lets her proxy run around in an abandoned house/hangout? like a headcanon, or something? XD

will that be allowed? [and my "slenderbeing" only has 5 powers, and she indeed has weaknesses]

damn my proxy bio has been stuck in writer hell and now i must figure out some way to get the dark form to be the exception of the rules to where it may be powerful to beat other beings like zalgo but not able to beat slender O-O

any ideas on what i need to do to get the dark form balanced for this one to work o-o

ObsoleteGoat In reply to Stormtali [2016-08-25 07:08:22 +0000 UTC]

wow, sorry for the late response, I hardly ever check my messages here.

First of all, you need to tone it down if your OC can KO zalgo, proxies should be weak and expendable humans. If your heart is set on using the shadow powers, I'd probably apply a very VERY heavy restraint on them. For example, if they use the powers for too long they start to get migraines and their nose may start to bleed (say about 2-5 minutes), or they can only use their powers in a very small timeframe, like at night between 11:30 and 12:00. 

Proxies SHOULD, at the end of the day, be weak and preferably not have powers otherwise, it could endanger their master safety. Every successful proxy I've ever seen and who's gotten popular is, fundamentally, a human and thoughts who are more so, are written off and forgotten about (sorry, but it's true. I read alot of reviews and proxies with powers are always ripped to shreds)

My advice is you do one of three things. Remove the powers completely, your OC probably doesn't need them; keep them but make them both hard to use/control and weak; or finally, put them into their own universe or don't make them a proxy, if your OC's no longer constrained by the rules of proxy-isum (???) then you can do a lot more with the design and powers.

While I understand most of it, here's a question.

What if a person has a proxy headcanon where the proxies might be different from what the guide says? Like some of the proxies are humans, others are demons and some are mutants.

Wouldn't the types of proxies in that artist's universe be how the creator envisions it.

ObsoleteGoat In reply to NTSEFAN [2015-09-28 17:20:13 +0000 UTC]

different rules for different head cannons is fine though i'm a strong believer of slenderman/slenermen not having proxies that can over power him, like demons and the like, since his power would be questioned and his slaves wouldn't rearly be slaves anymore

NTSEFAN In reply to ObsoleteGoat [2015-09-28 17:39:40 +0000 UTC]

I see. I figured I asked because I have my headcanon proxy info and that all the proxies are categorized based on their strength, skill, and power. Like some of them would be humans, others are demons and some are mutants.

It's all listed here. ntsefan.deviantart.com/art/pro…

ObsoleteGoat In reply to NTSEFAN [2015-09-28 18:43:51 +0000 UTC]

it's an interesting idear to categories proxies like this, but be careful with your powering (i.e., don't make things to overpowered or it turns form scary to comedic)

I don't know if this breaking the humans only rule, but.... I have a OC I want to make that is a manananggal, a Filipino vampire/witch/ghoul like creature that looks like a human during the day (And is pretty weak)  and then rips it self in half and grows wings to hunt its prey. My oc of course isn't stronger then it's master, I'm just worried I might break the rule.

I feel as if you get tons of questions and get overwhelmed, but I just wanted to drop my own in as well. When I first made my proxy oc, I based what he does around the human psyche and what people perceive as real. A friend of mine had said that a proxy may sometimes be given a minor 'power' from their owner. Which is sort of what I leaned towards as I had him cause mild hallucinations to those that his owner so chooses then kills them in their current state, or just lets them suffer as is so they meet their own end. To better fit this, would it work if instead he had studied how the mind works beforehand (specifically how it holds memories and fears) and also slips the target a hallucinogenic in order to cause hallucinations? That way it wouldn't be a power.

ObsoleteGoat In reply to PurpleGramps [2015-09-10 09:27:03 +0000 UTC]

my life is just questions now, i exist for the questions qwq

the idear of a proxy using a narcotic as a weapon is actually rearly cool and works so much better than just "mind powerrrrrrrrrerereeererers". to answer your questions i'd recommend looking into different kinds of hallucinogenic drugs and pick posable three to your liking and apply that to the proxy~

PurpleGramps In reply to ObsoleteGoat [2015-09-10 11:55:42 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking it works better that way as well. I honestly made him way back in my younger years when I didn't really think things out like I do now. So it's best that I revise him in general.

Anyways, thank you! I'll start looking into some hallucinogenics now so I can work on the template!

Ahh finally finished it!


Proxy Name: Sanri
Name: Sage Xavier Salazr
Age: 19
DOB: January 10th, 1999
Height: 6'0"
Species: Human
Sexual orientation: Bisexual. Though, he isn't particularly interested in pursuing any relationships. If anything, he would agree to a one night deal.
Use: Destroying evidence, offing targets, and stalking.
Appearance when 'working':
umbrathefox.deviantart.com/art… Like on the insides of Halloween masks, Sanri put mesh over the holes of his own so that his features wouldn't be noticeable. And although it is not noticeable, he does wear shorts and has special holders sewn into the inside of his coat for his hallucinogenics and weapon. Appearance when not in use: I don't have a drawn picture of this yet, but I can explain it until then! His hair goes a little past his ears and is black/wavy, he has tan skin, brown eyes, wears cargo shorts shorts with a button ups, and sneakers. Personality: Sanri is very quiet as he has chosen to be mute for the most part. He only talks when he sees fit or when his owner wishes for him to do so and when he does, his voice is very scratchy and coarse . He has a sort temper, but keeps it in check as to not upset his master. He also prides himself on his knowledge of the brain and finds it important to research new findings. Over all Sanri takes everything very seriously and would scarcely ever even think about 'horse play'. Likes: Climbing trees, birds, quiet, writing, studying the mind, and surprisingly enough, drawing, plating, and sewing. Dislikes: Fish, small dogs, talkative people, anyone touching his mask, and television. Skills prized for: Before being adopted as a proxy, Sanri had studied how one's brain works; storing memories, fears, and how it reacted to drugs were amongst his favorite to go over. He had found that when taking a hallucinogenic, whether it be a psychedelic, dissociative, or delliriants, they can alter a person's perception of reality. The drug of choice is able to do so by disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin. He specifically likes using Doxylamine, Dimenhydrinate, and Diphenhydramine as they are all easy to get. However, in high dosages, usually giving them doubled what is suggest for someone of the victim's age, it can cause visual and auditory disturbances, dizziness, confusion, twitching, and drowsiness. He is also, for the most part, a self chosen mute if one would consider that a skill to like. Commonly used weapons: Sickle, may use any blunt found in the target's home, and if you would consider them to be weapons, his three hallucinogenics. Wounds: When he was a baby, he had to have his appendix removed so he has the surgical scar on his stomach. Health problems: Slender sickness;

I have a question about the Rule 11: If the proxy has the inability for reproduction, or sterile, are they still obligated for no sexual intercourse? Are there more reasons for Rule 11, or simply for reproduction prevention? My proxy is gray-ace, and doesn't have much reason for that sort of thing to begin with, but I'm still curious.
