trait of:	Having an unknown existence.

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

― H.P. Lovecraft

The trait of characters or archetypes who have a unknown and fathomless existence. Not to be confused with Mystery Embodiment and Undetermined Existence.

Also Called

• Fathomless Existence
• Unknowable Existence

Capabilities

User is or has an fathomless/unknown existence, as all information, knowledge, history, origin, etc., is either totally unknown or a complete mystery, therefore they cannot be compared with/to any other existence. Looking up their history, how they came to be, what allowed them to exist in the first place, or even if they exist would prove impossible.

Since their origin and even the very basis/nature of their being is a mystery, it's impossible to categorize them in any way, including whether or not they're alive/living, dead, undead, amortal, undetermined, self-created, non-created or possibly something else entirely even if they're a human, demon, god, spirit, beast/monster, a threat, friend/foe, eldritch horror, powerful/weak etc. If they even have a history or origin of some kind, then it cannot be traced or understood by anybody/anyone or anything. Unlike Absolute Concealment, their natures aren't covered or blocked in a way. They are just not known or even existing, making them incomprehensible even when they act.

If users of Living Anomaly are beings that escape the rules of a system while still being a part of it, then these are beings who suddenly come into existence inside or outside of the system with no rhyme or reason.

SCP-2950 - Just A Chair (SCP Foundation) is a just a simple chair is it?...

...Well not quite, SCP-2950 is in fact not a chair, its an entity that cannot be defined and can take the form of whatever the majority of people think it is, making its real form, unknown.

"Unknown" Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII Remake) from the Edge of Creation, is unlike all other versions/forms of Sephiroth through out the universes/multiverse of the Final Fantasy franchise, making his origins and existence (as of now) a complete mystery.
