How to Horror: Proxies of Slenderbeings

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 Nobody, 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 Nobody 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:

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~
