Subject-349227's History
**Designation:** Subject-349227
**Name:** Damos, The Illustrator of Realities
**Object Class:** Euclid
---
**Special Containment Procedures:**
Subject-349227 is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment suite at Site-17, equipped with artist’s tools, sketchbooks, and non-anomalous paints. Interaction with Subject-349227 requires approval from at least two Level 3 personnel. Under no circumstances is Subject-349227 to create art using anomalous inks or pigments, which must remain secured in a separate containment locker.
Subject-349227 is permitted to submit one piece of artwork per week for evaluation, provided it adheres to strict guidelines prohibiting the depiction of complex environments, figures, or creatures. Should the artwork exhibit anomalous properties, it is to be immediately confiscated, and Subject-349227 will be temporarily restricted from artistic activity.
Exploration into Subject-349227's "Illustrated World" is prohibited without explicit authorization from the O5 Council due to the unpredictable and hazardous nature of the environments created.

**Description:**
Subject-349227, known as Damos, is a humanoid male of European descent, approximately 32 years old, with a distinct mustache, monocle, and refined attire reminiscent of late 19th-century fashion. Subject-349227 claims to be an "illustrator of realities" and possesses the anomalous ability to bring his artwork to life through the use of specific inks and pigments. This ability extends to creating fully immersive, self-contained realities referred to as *illustrated worlds.*
The artwork of Subject-349227 is characterized by intricate details and surrealist influences, often blending whimsical and sinister elements. When using anomalous materials, his creations emerge as three-dimensional constructs capable of interaction with the physical world. Small-scale creations, such as flowers or animals, typically remain stable and non-hostile. However, larger and more complex illustrations—particularly landscapes or humanoid figures—exhibit erratic behavior, often posing significant hazards.
Subject-349227 exhibits an eccentric but cooperative personality, frequently inviting Foundation personnel to "step into" his creations. When questioned about the origins of his abilities, he claims to have been "gifted the brush by the muses of the unseen," though no evidence supports this statement. Subject-349227 maintains an enigmatic air, often speaking in metaphorical or poetic terms.

**Addendum 349227-A: Exploration Log**
On ██/██/20██, with authorization from the O5 Council, a team of three researchers entered an illustrated world created by Subject-349227. The artwork depicted a pastoral landscape with vibrant flora, crystal-clear lakes, and an idyllic sky. Upon entering the illustrated world, the following observations were made:
**Lead Researcher Dr. █████:**
"Initially, the world appears stable, almost comforting in its beauty. However, the further we proceed, the more distorted the environment becomes. The flowers start whispering, and the sky changes color as if responding to our thoughts."
**Agent Carson:**
"There's movement in the trees... not animals. They're... they're watching us. This place feels alive, but not in a good way."
**Outcome:**
The team was forced to retreat when the environment became hostile. Trees animated into humanoid forms, and the ground began to split, revealing an endless void. Upon exiting, all team members reported mild hallucinations and an intense compulsion to return.

**Interview Log 349227-B:**
**Interviewer:** Dr. █████
**Interviewee:** Subject-349227
**Dr. █████:** "Your creations are extraordinary but dangerous. Why do you create them?"
**Damos:** [Smiling] "Because reality itself is a canvas, Doctor, and my hand was chosen to paint the unseen truths. My worlds are not dangerous; they are honest."
**Dr. █████:** "Honest in what way?"
**Damos:** "They reflect the minds that enter them. If you see chaos, then perhaps chaos lives in you. If you see beauty... well, you understand."
**Dr. █████:** "Can these worlds be controlled?"
**Damos:** [Pausing thoughtfully] "Control? Control is for the unimaginative. My brush does not lie. It simply reveals."
**Conclusion:**
Subject-349227, Damos, presents both a valuable asset and a significant risk. His ability to create anomalous constructs could prove beneficial for controlled experiments or containment procedures, but the unpredictable nature of his illustrated worlds necessitates extreme caution. Further research into his abilities and origins is ongoing.
