so, i thought of this a while ago, and here is the scp idea:

This scp would be a humanoid scp, Male, 20s. with his only amoulous feature is that: Currently 3/4 of the Humerus, The Entirety of his Lumbar vertebrae, 3/4 of his Tibia and Femur, The Entirety of his patella and 1/8 of his ribs are composed of glass. and that any bones expect for glass would be rejected by the body and any new broken bones that aren't replaced with glass will also result in rejection, Also he would be required to wear to protective padding at all times, He has diet that requires to intake more calcium, He is also allowed to roam site under the supervision of 1 agent and a member of medical staff, also if he ever to needs surgery medical staff have human shaped glass bones ready for him at all times, also he is to be kept a humanoid containment cell.

You have here what we call the "X that does Y" format. You have "Man who has bones of glass". This is a decent starting off point, but what do you plan to do with it? New series SCPs are much more narrative focused than older ones were. What is the story? Why does the Foundation even care about this guy? How did they find out about him? Are there any unexpected side-effects other than "he has osteoporosis but his bones are glass instead of porous bone"? How does the glass-ification progress? If he's so fragile, why allow him to roam the site, even with supervision? Wouldn't he be better off staying in a safe, protected environment?

I also highly recommend reading http://www.scp-wiki.net/so-you-want-to-write-a-humanoid-scp-object to avoid falling into the "X-Man" trope and just making a human that's different from other humans.

No greenlight yet, you still have a lot of concept to flesh out before I can recommend proceeding to the drafts phase.

Alright, Thanks for criticism most of the points you made were pretty valid, like why would the foundation automatically know about him. Thanks for the criticism.
