 Biography of The Operator
All of our theories put into place (Might spoil for you)

I think we should have a thread like this that's active...I know there's a description on the wikidot, but I wanted to make something more concise and organized. I'm gonna organize this into different categories, and hope us unfictionaires can fill in the spots. ANYWHO, let's do this

Quote:
Abilities
Confirmed
- Teleportation
- Time Manipulation (Biggest evidence is in Entry #72)
- Memory Manipulation (Multiple scenarios of memory losses associated with TO)

Speculated
- Can change his own height (How the hell did he fit in the tunnel under the Hospital?)
- Create slight facial features (Entry #72, TO has vague facial features)


Quote:
Biology
Confirmed
- Long Limbs
- No tentacles

Speculated
- Communicates using mental images
- Emits powerful ElectroMagnetic waves (Reasoning for equipment distortion?)


Quote:
Motivations
Confirmed
- (Requires more info)

Speculated
- Wants to watch the world burn
- Feeds off memories to survive
- Acts like a virus and spreads his SlenderSickness



So, here's the first stage of this thread. Hopefully it stays alive and I can build onto it. I'm taking all suggestions in terms of adding onto a category OR adding new categories. As of now it only contains my knowledge, and clearly I don't know as much as others...

I am not sure I see the need for this, personally. It contains spoilers, and it might also get polluted with a lot of the overwrought speculation that occurs on this forum and somehow becomes accepted as canon, thereby misleading readers and confusing them down the road.

I think we can all agree that he's a hollow on the verge of becoming an arrancar.

Is that what you're really worried about? I'm sure the people that make it through 72 entries of marble hornets would know the difference between Fact and Theory. For the most part, new viewers are likely to either just watch from youtube or go through the entries on the wikidot. I don't see how it is that big of a problem. Besides, i'm hoping this thread becomes much more legitimate with more contributions.

Man, when you said arrancar I was thinking "Damn, that must be an important fact that I never heard about, da fuq's an arrancar"

Even if I support this thread, the bad thing is that there are few things that we really know about TO and I guess there is little to be said about it unless we're talking about speculations.

However, I find this much clearer and organised than the wikidot Rolling Eyes

A thread that helps define the limitations and abilities of TO is something that makes sense, even though we probably will never be truly sure about it, so it would be almost only speculation, although we have some facts (like the fact that unlike slendy, TO hasn't tentacles).

I'll post a theory, it has been said or referenced before, so i'll just put it here:

I'm pretty sure that TO powers by themselves are pretty weak at first, it only seems to stalk his victims in the beggining and his powers seem to grow the more the victim is aware/scared of him.

(This is a personal of mine) If he is spotted by someone he is unable to move, no matter what, it seems that his influence over the subject depends on how close he is to TO, if he is caught by a camera or any sort of image recorder, he cannot move away. He only seems to move/teleport whenever he is not being watched by anyone.

He knows when he is being spotted, and although he cannot move when he is on the sight of anyone or a camera, he can see through them, it would be the explanation of why someone with no face (Eyes, nose and ears) can detect the location of someone nearby.

(This one came from #69-72)

His victims develop synthoms (English is not my native language) that are related to the effects of choking, explaining everyone's loss of strenght and coughing, it even explains the memory loss (If you spend too long without air you can develop brain problems, such as the one i just mentioned). This also seems to be is way of attacking people.

The mentioned above also reassembles the theme of water on the overall series and especially the entry with Tim wearing the chest camera (I believe it was #65) where he is being teleported to the Slendyverse after being submerged underwater. (In entry #72 it only seems that he manipulated time until it was night, they were not in the slendyverse in my opinion)

I also believe that Oppy CANNOT manipulate time, but he can take control of people and make them skips chunks of time (Could be another explanation of the memory loss) without them even pick up on it. (If we have to get technical in this, i don't believe he can make the planet spin faster without the whole world knowing about it, i know it sounds ridiculous, but is what i think).

In my opinion, i think he cannot distort the cameras by will, i think they distort when TO uses his powers, the images that we see i'm sure they are memories of the victim that TO is toying with, wich in my opinion explains why the distortion was so fucking loud and convolluted when Tim was resisting it.

And that's all folks! If u have things to correct or to add, just be constructive about it

Do we want speech mimicry under speculation? There's that entry with Jay in the Basement of Doom calling out "Hello?" with "Hello" repeated in a lower voice, followed by a Slendy attack...

The thing is, we see in the most recent entry that Tim and Jay don't lose any time. We are with them the whole time, there's no lost time we can see in the actual Entry. Unless he manipulates us too?

What i'm saying is that, this is something else but Time manipulation, either they were in the process of being teleported to the Slendyverse or they are just frozen or something for a long time whenever they enter a room or when the camera picks up TO.

To make it easier on me, just tell me what point you'd like to put into what category. As this thread grows, i'll be able to make points based off your conversations, but for now say something like:
"Add: Slenderman doesn't need to take shits to Biology"

We definitely don't know how exactly time is manipulated, but we know for sure that in the real world, time is manipulated.

Isn't his height changing confirmed? I mean, compared from different entries and stuff, he's different heights.

I guess we don't know if that's IG or just a result of their OOG needs, though.
