Proxy guide

If you are reading this, it must mean you are newbie.
Who am I? How did I get this address? What do I want?
Gimme a minute and all your questions will be answered.


Unless I made a mistake and you have nothing to do with Boss Scorch, if that’s so, my bad… and say goodbye to your computer/cellphone, because I’ll make sure to leave it useless. Rip.

BUT if you are a lucky new member, keep on reading please.

I know, I know, a chat face to face is always better to understand certain things, especially important topics, like how to live your life now that you have to serve the wishes of a powerful supernatural creature that could rip your head off in the blink of an eye.

But alas, I’m a very busy person, on the bright side, anytime you forget what to do, you can come back here and read again. Feel free to message me anytime too, can’t promise I’ll answer, but you can try.
(Briber me and you’ll get your answer asap.)


Lady Scorch

Should I explain who Lady Scorch is?...

Nah… if you are a new proxy, you must have met her already.

On the other hand, you probably have no idea why you were chosen.
I’ll keep it short.
You are a proxy because you are special. Hard to believe, I know, but that’s the only reason boss Scorch would have chosen you. Maybe you have a gift for computer managing (like me) or you know how to convince others to tell you what you want, it can be anything, even that little silly thing you thought would never be useful, like lying, crafting things, you have good aim. Whatever it is, you owe your life to Scorch now, we all have been saved by her one way or another, we choose to take the opportunity to be needed. That’s why I’m here, that’s why you are reading this message.


Scorch Lady goal

Lady goal is to achieve being indispensable for others.
Let me delve into this.
Lady Scorch, due not being physically strong, has learned that there are other "passive" ways of becoming powerful, hence she had tried to become the best in having useful resources the other slenders proxies and slenders might need (weapons, information, temporal shelter, etc).
Powerful creatures, like slenders, are known to have groups or proxies to do their will. It can be a numerous or small group, with different duties, a goal in common or different tasks. However, there are times they need a certain job to be done that their proxies can’t take care of. Maybe it’s beyond their abilities, perhaps they’ve never done something like it before and it’ll be easy for them to fail, there can even be the case they want their proxies to learn something but doesn’t have anyone to teach them properly.

In other case scenarios, the creature can have more than enough proxies, but be short on weapons, it’s not easy to get the needed materials, most of the stuff doesn’t grows on tree branches. Maybe they are in need of a special type of sword, or their gun broke down and needs to be fixed without nosy questions.
A special kind of venom? Could be ingredients hard to get for a formula. Clothes, weapons, tools, equipment, from the basic to the particular.

That’s when Lady Scorch and we, her proxies, come into action. Our boss has made sure to look for the best and indispensable. If a slender needs an experienced hacker to take care of footage kept by the police, but has no hacker among their proxies and needs the job to be done without unnecessarily questions, they will show up to Lady Scorch for the job. Upon agreeing the price, that goes from other items to favors, boss will send one of us expert on the subject (or more of one if needed) to take care of the work.
If they need clothing and don’t want to lose time sending their own proxies, then they look for Scorch and she’ll send the best stalkers, lock pickers and thieves to retrieve what’s needed.
A chemistry formula? No problem, one of us will be able to figure it out and make it as close to perfection as it can get.
A doctor to patch up proxies from particularly bad wounds that need professional help but can’t go to a hospital for obvious reasons? Scorch has them proxies for the job.
 
You get the drill?
Scorch is not interested in brute force, professional killers or blood thirsty teens. We might not be the best in a combat, but we are indispensable. Of course, this doesn’t mean we don’t know how to deliver someone their GAMEOVER… if you catch my drift.


What Lady looks in a proxy

You don’t need to qualify in all of this, that’s impossible, but at least two of them if you want to keep your life.
- Be able to keep a low profile.
- You must be able to follow orders, the only way to twist orders is to fulfil your job better than expected, with no collateral damage.
- You must have one or more useful abilities: hacker, wood/metal/other crafting, knowledge in weapons, how to repair, make, improve them. Stalkers, psychologists, doctors, nurses, chemists, etc.
- Be efficient on what you do, you must have the will to improve, you are never good enough.

Easy peasy, am I right?


Golden Rules

Just follow them, you’ll only earn a bad time if you don’t.

- Don’t mess with other slender proxies or proxies, unless they attack first (Seriously c’mon, we are not Sulker proxies, we know how to behave ;) )  
- During some jobs, you’ll have to follow the contractor instructions. The only moment you are allowed to disobey, if the order goes against Scorch own command. For example: You were sent to assist Slenderman proxies with a weapon delivery, during said job he instructs you to not kill anyone because they need to be secretive. You obey. After you complete the job, the Slenderman asks you to accompany his proxies to a different mission. You deny, you fulfilled your task, not returning would be against Scorch Lady orders.
- You will not take missions by your own will. You´re assigned your jobs by boss Scorch. If another creature or slender approaches to give you a job before talking to Scorch, YOU HAVE TO REJECT IT.
- Don’t fight among each other, internal fights are dumb.
- Be careful to priorities other than your duties. As far as I know, Lady Scorch isn’t against us having relationships but… our loyalty is to her, don’t forget that.
- DON’T LOOK AT HER SCARS. Do a favor to yourself and learn to control your flinches when you see her, if she notices your discomfort. It. Won’t. Be. Nice.


Abandoned manor

This is how the main residence is named, if you are a proxy you will be able to find it, boss Scorch probably brought you here after you received your mark and before your first job.
It’s a big abandoned house in the middle of nowhere (no, it’s not in the so called “slender forest”, the tall guy won’t allow our entrance unless he contracted Scorch for a job).
We are just in some forest, rumors say the location is nearby where our boss was born, but I still haven’t found the right tree…

Back to track, the abandoned manor was empty for so long, mother nature start to eat it away until Lady Scorch made it her home. You’ll find trees in the middle of hallways, vines climbing on the walls and I’m pretty sure there’s a family of bats living in the attic.
The manor is divided in two major sections. Scorch proxies and guests. Guests obviously is for visitors to stay, this will sometimes be important creatures that make deals with Lady boss or usually other creature proxies sent to negotiate, deliver payment or that needed a temporary refuge.
You are allowed to enter, but remember your manners if you do.

The other section, is for ONLY us Scorch proxies. If you spot anyone else here, you are free to kick them out. Unless it’s a powerful creature, if that’s the case, look for Scorch ASAP, contact other proxies and try to prevent said visitor of roaming around. If you can’t stop them, follow and never leave them unsupervised.

This side of the manor aside bedrooms to rest, have other useful places like an infirmary with everything necessary, even a small operating room as far as I know, armory and training room, kitchen, storage and the computer room (in case you were wondering, there’s where I am. Heads-up, touch my systems and you are dead. However, if you want to leave a bribe, please knock at the door hard and repeatedly).


Perks

Having a roof up your head and food should be enough, but there are more if you become a proxy.

- Slowed ageing. Due time your body will start to age at a very slow rate, the more time you have been a proxy, the more you will notice this.
- Accelerated healing. It won’t be immediate like in cartoons, but wounds will take much less time to heal than how they used to. However, if it’s big it will leave a scar none the less.
- Mind communication. It works better with Scorch boss lady, she will be able to communicate with you through thoughts, it’s a kind of weird psychic power. Veteran proxies can be the ones to start the communication with Lady Scorch, but she can still block you if she wants.
- If you spend enough time as a proxy, you’ll start to be able to communicate mentally with other Scorch proxies. It only works with Scorch proxies though. Senior proxies are sometimes able to block newbies. If you don’t practice this ability, you won’t get far with it. I’ve heard there are some that can even send mental images, but it’s just a rumor.


The Burning Sickness

Also known as slender sickness, you’ll have the symptoms if you spend too much time away, if Scorch is mad at you, or you get sloppy and weak. Believe me, it sucks, so you better take care of yourself.

Aside the common symptoms of headaches, nausea and coughing, the burning sickness provokes a burning sensation inside your body, most of times accompanied by fever and fever chills, eye stinging, blurry vision and in extreme cases vomit.

Those odd pills can fight it but only for a while.


FAQ

Message any question you may have newbie, I gotta go back to work.
Welcome to your new life.
Edit: Forgot to add the perks and slender sickness. My bad.


You don't need my permission to make a proxy for Scorch. Just link me or post here their bio when done so I can take a look at it.
You can also link me the unfinished one if that makes you feel more confortable.
:D


I think I got a bit carried away while writing this.
If you couldn’t figure it out, I have a new proxy (halp, I love making proxies), Scorch informatics assistant, mostly in charge of communication, hacking and computer stuff.


Anyway, some details that didn’t fit in the guide above:

- Only humans: Scorch will only take human proxies because they have weaker minds and are easier to manipulate.

- Some of her proxies work willingly while others are “puppet proxies” or “sleeping proxies”. Scorch mental power compensates her weak physical strength. It’s easy for Scorch to force humans into becoming her puppets, aka “sleeping proxies”, who are forced to work for their master with a second personality they are not always aware of. This only works effectively with weak mind humans, during short periods of time for mid strong humans and rarely with strong will ones. Scorch does this when a human doesn’t want to become her proxy.

- Scorch will approach humans in need or with problems and aid them just to then manipulate them into becoming her proxies. There can be cases, were a human catches her attention, so she’ll make their life even harder (without them knowing) to then appear to save them at the very end, when there are no other options to them.
If the human resists after that, or is not easy to manipulate, then Scorch will resort to her mental abilities, to convince them or turn them into a sleeping proxy in worst case scenario.

- All proxies must have Scorch sigil somewhere in their body. (See bio for the sigil form)


Feel free to ask me anything you have a doubt about, I’ll be happy to aid you :D
I might not be able to answer right away, but I will as soon as I can.
