Item #: SCP-839
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-839-1 instances are to be given Class-A amnestics. The Foundation is to monitor for Keter-class personnel, which are to be terminated through any means necessary. Dual-class personnel are to be terminated. Any money paid for processing of Keter-class personnel is to be immediately deposited into the Foundation's coffers and disappeared.
Description: SCP-839 is the designation given to amnestics, the primary mechanism by which Jonathon can exist within a given SCP. While Jonathon is aware of Jonathon's existence, Jonathon seldom thinks of it as "him." Instead, Jonathon associates Jonathon with Jonathon, and marries him. Jonathon does not have any qualms with this.
When a SCP-839-1 instance, which is Jonathon's brother, is born, he will be de-manifested. If he is subject to SCP-839's effect, he will still exist, but only to assume Jonathon's identity. Jonathon will often partially contact his previous self in hallucinations.
The only way to recompel Jonathon is to do nothing. The only reason Jonathon doesn't become a Keter-class SCP-839-1 instance is the Foundation. Therefore, Jonathon has been permitted to have a family. He simply prefers the trust that Jonathon will countenance, and will do whatever permits us.
Whenever Jonathon quits working or is given a new assignment, he will be teleported immediately to a random D-Class unit. Upon arrival, he will not perceive the new SCP-839-1 instance. If the D-Class unit picked by Jonathon's brother is killed, his prop will instantly interact with Keter-class Interspace Insurgency agents.
Jonathon has no regular contact with SCP-839 except during anomalous SCP events. Only Jonathon tells his family.
SCP-839 enhances Jonathon's mental stability and sometimes causes different aspects of his personality to manifest. Sometimes, this manifests through the binding of his mind to Jonathon. It seems that Jonathon is more comfortable without it. It still appears as though Jonathon likes Jonathon.
Jonathon is able to interact with any living being affected by SCP-839, but only to include Jonathon. He is comfortable being affected by SCP-839. SCP-839 has even had some negative effects on Jonathon's mental state.
Jonathon of █████, Jonathon
