Based on this post by Mr Mysterio. Whilst the writing is mine, the crux is his; he sowed the seed, I merely pissed on it and saw what grew. As such, ideas expressed here beyond Mysterio's post are my own interpretations of his concept.
Großmann's Report Draft ( Translated from original German in 1995) | Großmann Condition: An Initial Diagnostics Overview |
|---|
By E.W. Großmann, 1989
Abstract: The Großmann condition (GßC) is a congenital disorder characterised by affected individuals having conscious control over muscular and glandular kinesthesia, induced by physical trauma or mutilation. It is being investigated into if self mutilation is desired by the affected, or if this is merely the most convenient method of displaying GßC. Users do not seem to be physically negatively affected by the disorder, though this does not consider potential mental distress. This report outlines immediately determined knowledge on the disorder from several related individuals, primarily focusing on GßC-041287-001. Further funding is required to initiate research into the full effects and potential of GßC.
1. Classification 2. Discovery 3. Characteristics 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 4. Causes 5. Mechanism 6. Diagnosis 7. Management 7.1 7.2 8. Prognosis 9. Epidemiology
1. Classification Großmann condition's classification is one that includes dermatology, myology, hematology, and general physiology. As it appears to be spread along generations, though it also appears to not affect all related individuals, it is currently believed that the condition is a genetic congenital disorder. Großmann condition (GßC) does not appear to coincide with any other known diseases or disorders.
2. Discovery The initial subject, GßC-041287-001, was encountered by myself within a hospital in Mumbai, India. The individual had been involved in a vehicular accident, severing the subject's right arm from the elbow downwards. The subject was able to move their hand muscles with only a few tendons attaching the lower limb to the body. When the limb was moved closer to the body, reattachment began and continued for 42 minutes, stopping when the subject died from blood loss. Whilst the subject died during their time in hospital, I was able to track down their family, which led me to more subjects and the findings listed below.
3. Characteristics 3.1 Physiological Differences GßC individuals have more elasticity in their blood vessels and nerves, as well as in their muscles. This leads to increased body mass compared to unaffected individuals of the same sex and similar age, height, and metabolism, as well as the appearance of thickened skin near the tendons. Individuals with GßC also appear to have no other initial physiological differences beyond these, making initial identification and diagnosis difficult unless tissue samples are taken. 3.2 Tissue Manipulation Individuals are most prominently known for the primary affect of their condition- GßC results in individuals being able to have conscious control over their biological functions. This control appears to be initiated by physical trauma and exposure to atmospheric oxygen. Nerves and tissues can be extended and manipulated intentionally and with direction. Afflicted individuals have been unsuccessful so far at explaining how this is differentiated from normal muscle control. One subject (GßC-041596-047) related the control to being akin to "how it feels when you wiggle your ears... You just kind of make yourself do it." Control appears to be limited by their biological capabilities, with movement controlled by muscles as with normal humans. 3.3 Tissue Reattachment As tissue must be severed to initiate control, tissue can also be reattached. Attachment requires a period of time from 20-135 minutes for tissues to reconnect. This attachment is not aided through any immediate medical practices. Observation of the effect over time has shown that tissue appears to grow in between the gaps. Tissue must be within 5.0mm of the initial attachment point for reconnection to occur. Tissue can also not have been unattached for extended periods of time [citation needed]. 3.4 Pain Suppression Individuals with GßC can consciously reduce their perception of pain stimuli. This is differentiated from congenital analgesia in that the latter is a permanent occurrence, whilst GßC pain suppression is conscious. This appears to be due to a biological ability to release pain suppressing chemicals, and not a psychological practice.
4. Causes There are currently no known causes of GßC. The disorder appears to only be transmitted through genetics. Blood transfusions between individuals with GßC and those without GßC have not led to unaffected individuals acquiring GßC.
5. Mechanism The mechanisms that cause GßC are unknown. The disorder is usually revealed through physical trauma that severs limbs or internal organs. Because of this, the demographics of GßC individuals are steered towards members of the military and individuals involved in vehicular accidents/wars (as in the case of GßC-041287-001). Once the trauma has occurred, the tissues must be connected to the original body. Complete separation has currently yielded no control possibilities beyond minor muscular twitching. This has been referred to as akin to muscular spasms in reptile autonomy. After attachment, the appendage or organ's muscles can be controlled for a currently variable period of time (ranging from 20 seconds to 164 minutes under experimental conditions).
6. Diagnosis Diagnosis of GßC before it is identified in an accident or intentional mutilation is difficult and currently ill advised so as to avoid misdiagnosis.
7. Management 7.1 Medical management 7.2 Social management
(Both management sections were left blank in the original draft)
8. Prognosis GßC does not appear to immediately reduce the life span of afflicted individuals. Arguably, the life span of afflicted individuals is potentially lengthened, due to the regenerative capabilities of the condition. In this sense, GßC has a good prognosis, with a decreased chance of dying from physical trauma Further research would be required to determine if increased usage of the active state of GßC results in increased likelihood of death from diseases taken in through exposed tissue.
9. Epidemiology GßC appears to occur within patient GßC-041287-001's bloodline. GßC-041287-001 had no children; however, the afflicted's maternal grandmother had the condition, as did their siblings. With little information available on their direct ancestry, it is unknown as to if multiple strains of GßC exist, or if they all have one common source. Relatives of GßC-041278-001 appear to also be present in the UK; one hypothesis proposed is that relations occurred during the British Colonial India. If this is the case, then this could indicate two separate possible origins of GßC. There appears to be no discrimination amongst ethnicity or sex in terms of whom GßC appears in. |
Großmann Support Forum (Forum name has been removed for safety reasons)
About XXXX is a forum dedicated to those with what is medically called Großmann Condition (GßC). Here you may share your experiences, find support, and make friends with people who share your confusion and pain. We hope that XXXX becomes one of the leading forces in ensuring our equality, as well as an are for raising equality and extinguishing ableism in general.
We have been forced into secrecy for reasons outside of our control, and persecuted because we have a condition that is not yet fully understood.
Let's break the silence.
Forum Rules
Hi everyone, these are some general guidelines for posts on this forum, as well as messages sent through this forum. I understand that a lot of these rules may seem like they are meant for children, but please understand that we need this community to be as safe as possible.
General Rules Terminology: We're honestly uncertain of how to tackle this one. We understand that many of the names given to people with our condition are offensive and demeaning, so please refer to our condition in whatever way makes you the most comfortable. Hopefully our community will eventually come up with a term that we can accept as our own. We are not detached, and we are not the property of scientists.
NSFW content: Please do not link to text, websites, or imagery that may be upsetting to other users. This includes gory imagery and pornography. You can post news articles in the News section, but please give a warning before the article is provided outlining the content inside it.
Abuse: Any members that are found to be abusive will be removed immediately. This doesn't matter if it's racist, sexist, ableist, targeted at one person or all of us. You get one warning and one warning only.
Spam and Hate: We are currently working with a moderator-approved post system. The forum will be made slower due to this, but our moderators will be able to filter out ableist posts and spam before the rest of you have to see it.
Akephaloi: Members of the Akephaloi are welcome to the forum; however, we do ask that they do not preach their beliefs to the forum. Just as we do not allow other religions to use the forum as a preaching ground, we ask that you respectfully do the same.
Account Content 1. Do NOT post personal information about yourself that could be used to link back to who you are in real life. I know we're all adults here, but we're adults who are at high risk of being neglected or abused if people find out who we are. For those who have been under a rock for the past 20 years, that means no addresses, no telephone numbers, no full names, no email addresses. 2. Please keep signatures no longer than 250 words, to ensure that the forum is kept neat and tidy. 3. Please do not use images of our condition or your face, or material that could be visually upsetting to our members. 4. Please do not post links on your page to in appropriate content or hateful websites. On that note, please do not post links to this forum on other website profiles or pages. We need to be careful where we make ourselves known, and do not want to invite unwanted attention.
If you find any information from this website being spread to hateful websites, or being used to aid in abuse or ableism, please inform one of the moderators immediately.
Newspaper Article, 2002 (Article written for a local newspaper in London, written by Arthur Shepherd.)
How Detached are the Detached?
Since the initial findings were released 13 years ago, the treatment of the detached (more commonly referred to as gross people) has been a touchy subject. With so little currently known about their disorder and what they are capable of, it is reasonable for many to not want to get too associated with them. However, others are calling for more acceptance of the afflicted.
The detached are sufferers of the Großmann condition, which increases the resistance of the human body to physical damage and blocks the body's ability to receive information about the world around them. Initially, the disorder was only believed to affect the body's response to extreme injuries, but developments since then have shown that those with the Großmann condition may be more biologically different to humans than initially thought. Whilst this may sound like the beginning of a superhero movie, the disorder is far from a miracle, as individuals with the condition undergo intense emotional stress when their condition emerges.
The detached community has come under fire recently for the religious debates initiated by the Akephaloi- detached who believe that their disorder is part of a change from a mind controlled by the body to a mind in control of itself. As said by one of the speakers at a rally last month, "We are the beginning of an apotheosis, and whilst we cannot tell what is coming, we can be certain that we are the heralds of change."
Whilst they have yet to be charged with any criminal offenses, the Akephaloi have been accused on multiple occasions for threatening acts of violence against churches, as well as putting people in danger and causing emotional stress by exposing their flesh when demonstrating their disorder.
This treatment contrasts greatly with the detached being revealed in parts of Asia, especially in India, where the disorder was first discovered. Whilst some small communities have accepted these individuals, others in poorer regions have been left homeless, beaten, or murdered, with them being accused of being evil or practicing sorcery.
Some have voiced that the mistreatment of the detached is inappropriate, and have suggested that the criticism of them should be redirected towards the larger scale treatment of people with lifelong medical conditions and disabilities. Others have agreed with Ernst Großmann, saying that the potential of using this disorder to learn more about our bodies is being taken away from the scientific community due to the mistreatment of the detached. However, with Großmann still currently serving a prison sentence for unethical practices, it's unlikely that research will be undertaken lightly.
Regardless of which side of the fence you stand on. One thing is definitely clear: the detached are becoming more noticeable in our societies, and even though many wish to be simply left alone, there are those who want to make it very clear that they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Any criticism of the writing style is appreciated. I chose mainly formal texts here because of a lack of experience writing informally. I will be happy to answer any questions people have.

I'll take a swing you, I'll miss though. I guarantee it. then I'll take another swing. and I'll miss. then I'll have myself a popsicle. would you care for a popsicle? just don't bring it into the sauna.

"When Ron the Mighty has stood in front of the gate of heaven he begins to denounce it. He cries, 'heaven is for those too scared of nothingness, I will go no further then my mortal flesh will carry. This mirror is the sick bed of heaven Harry, the eternity of pansy lies.' Ronnie will have nothing to do with the mirror, he is only concerned with the flesh and blood of the now. This destroys Harry. Ron leaves him to contemplate his stupid mirror, and the design of the cosmos versus the terminal beauty of being a wizard." -- Wizard People, Dear Reader: Chapter 23

The report draft reads like an SCP article. It's chilling, really.

Wow, I'm glad that you found it chilling : ) In general, I wanted it to read as impassive and analytical, though I was debating trying to show a bit of Großmann's personality as well. That may show up in future writing.

I feel like Großmann himself is pretty analytical and impersonal, already. Not a big fan of emotions, that guy.

What did he have to do to find that out? To answer that, I'd like to turn your attention to this extract from the newspaper article:

I may write a short biography of Großmann in one of the later extracts.
Großmann himself isn't entirely emotionless- his lack of emotion in the text is due to a mixture of trying to sound professional and the scientific report format favoring a lack of personal involvement.
Also, if there are any aspects you'd like me to cover, or any questions you have, feel free to say so!

No updates tonight, but I hope to churn a few out tomorrow. If there's a particular topic you want covered- terminology, the Akephaloi, Mr Großmann etc- let me know in the next 9-10 hours so that I can work on it during my train journey.

I'm interested to see if life for the detached is complete hell or if it's about on par with other minorities.

F.I.N.D.R Field Incident Logs A comprehensive list of all organisms, artifacts, and alternative worlds encountered by the foundation team.
At the present time, concepts within are inconsistent and ever shifting. Protectorates of the Proan Empire- The Sundered Realms - A fantasy realm where the world is divided into different sections. (Following names subject to change)
- The Gavell Kingdom
- The Everdark Forest
- The Lunar Tundra
- The Sand Sea
- The Asteroid Cloud
- The Rotting Shard
- The Orbital River
- The Outer Shadow
- Bottle Beasts - This Universes version of Pokemon.
Worlds Impacted by the Enlightened/Visceral War- The 'Verse Whale - The Homeworld of the two forces, a planet sized organism, and the unique life that has flourished on it.
- замороженный конец - An Ice Age world populated by tripodal organisms.
- [To Be Named] - A world of creatures with an arm for a head
- [To Be Named] - The Homeworld of a species where only the males are sapient.
- [To Be Named] - The home of a race of carnivorous, trap building beings.
- [To Be Named] - A planet of organisms that can link their minds, where two forms of intelligence have arisen.
Unaffiliated Universes- [To Be Named] - A parallel earth where the Synapsids took over after the Permian Extinction, among other resulting changes.
- نيو نيو امستردام - An abandoned Dyson Cylinder containing an Ecumenopolis now catering to our former pets and pests. (A concept developed entirely separate from DroidSyber's Arcology, I swear.)
- The Bleed - A vast universe where physics are more a suggestion than a rule.
Parakosmos Minor - Known Earth Pocket Universes, Natural or Artificial.- Island of Marsupials and Armadillos off the coast of South America
- A world inhabited by Woodpecker descendants (Again, not meant to be a clone of Serina, I in no way have that much detail ready for this.)
- Katiwala - Your typical Lost World...if i decide to go that route...
(And this is just the spec related stuff)

I'm interested to see if life for the detached is complete hell or if it's about on par with other minorities. I'd figure it's the same as other minorities, in that how bad it is for them depends on where they live and what kind of communities they live in. Judging from the rules for the detached forum, I'd guess that the disabled community is probably the most welcoming to them.

Dumb Quotes "and then I fired again. and then I missed. and then I fired. and then I fired, and I missed. I missed both times. and then I fired, and I missed. this went on for several hours. and then I fired. and then I missed. and then I was out of bullets. and then I got sad. I had a popsicle. and then I passed out in the snow. and then I woke up. and then I reloaded. and then I fired. and then I missed. I missed again. I fired. I hit something, but it wasn't what I was going for, so I guess I missed. I passed out again. had another popsicle. I had a dream that I was firing at something. I missed. oh, so she can pick a snowball fight with 'em. I threw up a snowball at 'em. I missed. I packed another snowball into my gun. that's my secret weapon. I missed. yeah, she's really something. I threw a snowball at her. I missed. I passed out. I woke up with a popsicle stick in my mouth. don't piss me off woman. I'll take a swing you, I'll miss though. I guarantee it. then I'll take another swing. and I'll miss. then I'll have myself a popsicle. would you care for a popsicle? just don't bring it into the sauna. I reached into the fridge for another popsicle. I missed. I got the cabbage. I put it back, but I missed. I dropped it on the floor. long story short, missed." -- Nancy Drew The White Wolf of Icicle Creek: Twist of Fate - PART 3 - Game Grumps
"When Ron the Mighty has stood in front of the gate of heaven he begins to denounce it. He cries, 'heaven is for those too scared of nothingness, I will go no further then my mortal flesh will carry. This mirror is the sick bed of heaven Harry, the eternity of pansy lies.' Ronnie will have nothing to do with the mirror, he is only concerned with the flesh and blood of the now. This destroys Harry. Ron leaves him to contemplate his stupid mirror, and the design of the cosmos versus the terminal beauty of being a wizard." -- Wizard People, Dear Reader: Chapter 23
Coming Soon/To be Rebooted:

They might be based on historical encounters with gross people.

Even the reaction from the disabled community is mixed.
