Description

An ad of a camera model

The Archivist is an entity that appears in the form of many devices which are used for recording visual images, videos, sounds or similar phenomenon. It is similar to the front rooms' equivalent of a camera or recorder. It usually takes up the guise of a 1940s, hand-held camera, though it is seen to appear as a modern-day camera, tape-recorder, or just about any devices that can retain data and filter it back out.

Behaviors

Despite its appearance, the Archivist is alive, evident either by its shuttering lenses if seen as a camera or it's non-stop whirring as a recorder.

It only exists to take and share to whatever crosses its path.

As it is but a small varying device, it cannot cause harm to anything or anyone. Though, frequent exposure to said entity can cause nightmares and hallucinations. The hallucinations usually end after a few days. It is advised that any encounters with said entity should not exceed over a long period of time. Encounters with the Archivist have not resulted in many deaths, but it had resulted in a few cases of suicide. The suicides are often recorded as photos by the Archivists and given to unlucky wanderers. Anything given by the Archivist must be taken. It is relatively a harmless and safe entity to encounter.

Biology

The Archivist has never shown itself as anything but devices. The only differing account was by one wanderer, named [REDACTED], who has long since disappear. They have said the entity came to them in a nightmare after their encounter with a camera. It was described as a tall, black being with horns that stretched up, impossibly high into the sky. It has no face, just a flat surface of black. Some files made of the entity has it have eyes. It makes no sound.

"It then proceeded to climb onto my shoulders and as I gasp for air from its heavy limbs, it hunched over to grab my face with its long fingers. It was like the touch of cold intestines. It then just stared into my face with its own blank face. I woke up after what felt like hours of the most terrifying staring-contest I've ever had."

It has never appeared in this form outside of the hysterical minds of wanderers.

The Records

In an ironic twist, a database of unknown origins was discovered and holds some interesting files on said entity. It is believed that it was created by a wanderer by the name of [REDACTED]. Interesting enough were the drawings done by [REDACTED]. Some have credited the creator to the same wanderer who dreamt of the entity, but no links between the two have been found conclusive. It also worth to note the creator of the Records has been adding to the database and will continue to update said database.
