RPC-409 is a hard copy of the book “The King in Yellow" by author Robert E. Chambers. RPC-409 has been rewritten to contain a transcription of the supposedly-fictional "The King in Yellow" play featured in the original stories.. The interpretation somewhat connects to the short excerpts featured in the original stories and has the same anomalous effects mentioned in the short stories have been mirrored. However, new effects have also been noticed during testing alongside certain references from the stories being altered to accommodate certain anomalous effects.
The original effects mentioned in the stories are somewhat present and include:
An extreme compulsion to read the entirety of Act 2. This is unchanged from the original source.
This is proceeded by drastic alterations in personality (occurring in 60% of all testing), designated as RPC-409-1A, or gradual mental deterioration (occurring in the remaining 40%), designated as RPC-409-1B. These appear to be altered from the original concepts somewhat, as the book has never been explained/ doesn’t appear to work this way in the stories.
RPC-409-1A exhibit two randomised but permanent changes after reading 409, behavioural alterations and personality alterations. Personality alterations are less concerning, with many -1A instances altering their personality to be more subdued. Only 30% of cases see an increase in aggressiveness with 6% of cases acting impulsively, meaning fatalities in most aggressive instances are uncommon. Behavioural alterations diagnosed include:
Schizophrenia (3 instances)
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (6 instances)
Tourettes (2 instances)
Bipolar 2 Disorder (5 instances)
And 6 other unique alterations reported
The Subject's Altercation triggers randomly for a short period of time and there appears to be no correlation between the reader’s previous mental state and these diagnosed disorders.
RPC-409-1B instances seem to encompass these mental disorders to the point of psychosis, with some 409-1A instances even converting into 409-1B instances in extreme circumstances. 409-1B instances can also trigger a RPC-409-2 manifestation by mentioning in any context: “The Yellow Sign”. It is unclear at the time if 409-1B instances are compelled to say it by possibly 409-2, or if they say it by their own free will.1
RPC-409-2 is an unidentified humanoid entity that stalks 409-1B instances until they have vacated any surrounding public spaces before displacing them to an unconfirmed location [Attaching GPS devices to 1B instances have left inconclusive results, as the device stops working when the Subject is displaced. According to 409-1B interviews during tests, 409-2 will regularly disguise as either a researcher or security personnel. 409-2 is only visible to 409-1B instances, and will phase through objects if any attempt of physical contact is made.
