About
SCP Foundation SCP stands for Secure, Contain, Protect, or Special Containment Procedures. While its exact founding date and creator remain unknown, it is an institution with a significant history. It operates above national law enforcement and government authority. With branches worldwide, it is a secret organization that secures and contains entities, objects, or phenomena that pose a threat to humanity, are supernatural, or defy the laws of nature to protect mankind. All data regarding the existence of the SCP Foundation and the entities it contains are top secret and strictly inaccessible to the general public. SCPs—supernatural subjects and entities—are assigned unique serial numbers, object classes, special containment procedures, and descriptions. The origins of most SCPs are unknown. Serial numbers are not necessarily sequential. Each SCP has a unique serial number, and no two entities can share the same one. However, as an exception, SCP-001 is not a single entity but multiple, and documents regarding SCP-001 are the Foundation's highest level of classified information. The primary object classes for SCPs are Safe, Euclid, Keter, and Thaumiel. Secondary classes include Apollyon, Archon, and Ticonderoga. Non-standard object classes include Explained, Neutralized, Decommissioned, Pending, Uncontained, and Esoteric. Other classifications include Threat, Disruption, and Risk levels.
Characters
The ultimate authorities of the Foundation. They are privy to all secrets, including the true nature of specific SCPs, and have access to documents regarding SCP-001. Generally, O5 Council positions are thought to exist from 1 to 13, but occasionally other numbers like O5-14 or O5-0 appear. They always maintain Level A clearance, the highest rank. They are indispensable personnel for the Foundation's operations.
Indispensable personnel for the Foundation's localized activities. They are generally doctors or researchers—including supervisors, leads, and seniors—who manage and oversee experimental projects. They hold Level B clearance.
Level C personnel who directly interact with anomalous entities, the SCPs. This group includes a vast number of individuals such as Mobile Task Force agents, office staff, recovery agents, and facility maintenance workers.
Death row inmates used as test subjects and laborers. They are promised a full pardon regardless of their crimes if they survive for one month, but because they are treated as disposable subjects for dangerous tasks, survival is rare. They are the lowest rank.
Anomalous supernatural entities.
Groups of specialists gathered from across the Foundation to handle complex missions that standard field personnel cannot manage.
