Apotheosis

Part 1

Apotheosis is a Greek word meaning to transform into a god, which is sometimes meant metaphorically and sometimes meant quite literally.

Obviously, since this is the SCP universe, which is no stranger to godlike entities, the apotheosis we'll be talking about here is literal, and on an unprecedented scale.

In the apotheosis canon, large portions of humanity become akin to gods, and the foundation finds itself struggling to maintain normalcy in a drastically

different world.

I'll be honest and say right away that if you're looking for sparse, dark horror,

you won't really find it here, and the Apotheosis Canon leans far closer to X-Men comics

than Lovecraft's stories.

If that excites you though, then you're in for a treat.

Apotheosis begins with SCP 3396, which is described as a Category 4 extra-dimensional

entity which exists as a gestalt of physically and metaphysically

mutagenic symbiotes that currently inhabit and affect approximately 6% of the global

population.

That's a bit of a word salad, but basically this is the entity that is responsible for altering

humanity, currently affecting 6% of the population.

The central nexus of this alien entity is located around 75 kilometers southeast of Death Valley

in the Mojave Desert.

Visually it appears as a massive structure, resembling both a tree and an insect, 27 meters tall and 23 meters wide,

typically iridescent blue-green in color, although this can vary.

The entity is selectively tangible, meaning that normal physical interactions with it have proved impossible. This central nexus of the entity releases a luminous blue-green fluid from its primary trunk and branches,

which pools at its base.
