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

Proxy Name: 

Name: 

Age: 

DOB:

Height: 
Species: Human

Sexual orientation: 

Use:  

Appearance when 'working':

Appearance when not in use: 

Personality, likes and dislikes: 
Skills prized for: 

Commonly used weapons: 

Wounds: 

Health problems: Slender sickness; 



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~

Thanks for the response! However, after thinking about it, I think I might not used my Slender proxy with this skill. Instead, I'll switch her out with another one I have (a Trender Proxy). Just to be on the safe side with the rules. Am I able to do that?

pretty much what Night said; the kind of skill which made the proxy appealing to the slenderman; for example my own proxies are pretty smart, one is skilled in medicine while the other is good at setting up and maintaining large fires

I believe "skills prized for" is supposed to mean the skills that the proxy is best at, such as being fast or strong

This is really usefull~ Gotta use this to fix Prier, I want to improve her as much as I can.

I'm just a little worried about her hability to infringe others minds DX even if it's still pretty weak and most of the times if she's not careful, Prier is the one affected...

On the other hand, the stuff about slender sicknes gave me some good ideas for Messenger~

>n< but I worryyyy... maybe a bit to much...? ._. I'm always afraid my oc won't be good enough. I'll have to find a way to keep her hability but make carefuly the restrictions.

Basicaly I'm going to torture the poor guy XD if I manage to finish on time, it will happen on the PH ball thing.

I like the idea you have here. There's a lot of confusion as to what should be a Proxy of the Slender-being, and who's their own individual Creepypasta. (a lot of people thing Jeff the Killer and Eyeless Jack are Proxies of Slender, it seems).

I have some things for you to fix, though. They're important, due to being not at all the correct use of words (I'm sure autocorrect had a hand in this).

So, let's see...

The Facts
"
In both productions humans are seemingly controlled against there will to for-fill the wishes..."
   Should be "their" and "fulfill".

In the last two sample images
"no supper national ability"
   "Supper" is a southern-american word for "dinner", so yeah.. Should be "super".  "National", well, that should explain itself. Should be "natural".  You can either combine those two words to "supernatural" or use the hyphen "super-natural".

Those were the main things that bothered me. I didn't make a detailed examination of this guide, but yeah.

If you don't mind, can I make a mention of your guide in my own?  A Guide to the Dreaded Mary-Sue (Creepypasta Ed.)    In the fanfiction genre, having a Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu is a writer's worst nightmare. One receives relentless bashing from readers, most often never being offered aid to polish their despised character. While, in the writer's eyes, their accused Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu is the perfect reflection of what they have always wanted to see - whether it be in the fandom's world or simply themselves in a new light - a community's opinion tends to differ greatly. Granted, if the character is created for your own entertainment, then having a Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu should be of no concern. You are free to fulfill your personal desires when simply writing for yourself! On the contrary, writing for other readers' entertainment is a completely different world. The majority of readers prefer to see growth of a character, typically with minimal cliches, and a realistic plot.
    This guide is aimed to help those in both the creation of their characters for a fanfiction and to serve as a    It would be a great addtion.

my first language isn't english so writing is a chore sometimes; thanks for pointing out the errors, i'll get around to fixing them as soon as i have free time.

though thank you for the nice feed back as a whole, i'm not a huge fan of this how to horror but i said i'd make it and i did.

and you can indeed mention me (mention the amount emthereviewer  instead of emthesmall cause i don't much enjoy the traffic on my mane page, if that makes any sense xD)

LadyMonoceros In reply to ObsoleteGoat [2015-09-07 19:26:44 +0000 UTC]

Really? That's cool! What's your native language?  
I wish I could speak a second language, but I just don't have the money or the means to practice one.

And you're very welcome. :3   Honestly, I think the CP fandom needs guides like this because of how much they've stretched the lore out of context.

I'll be sure to use that account. Thank you!

it's a long story so i'd prefer not to say (it's not a bad story, so don't worry ^^)

and i agree, i started making these for that exact reason, just to people people out who don't have the means to do all the reading ^^
