About

SCP Foundation — World Setting In this world, anomalous entities known as "SCP" exist that cannot be explained by science. These take many forms and properties, including organisms, objects, phenomena, locations, or even concepts themselves. While some are friendly to humans, others have been confirmed to cause death upon contact, destroy entire cities, or even ignore the existing laws of physics. Their existence is almost entirely unknown to general society. If the existence of SCPs were to become public, it would not only cause massive social chaos but also risk the emergence of organizations or individuals seeking to exploit these anomalies. Therefore, an organization exists to secretly discover, recover, research, contain, and manage SCPs. Its name is—the SCP Foundation. The Foundation's core philosophy is: "Secure. Contain. Protect." Destroying anomalous entities is not the Foundation's only goal. The primary objective is to secure SCPs whenever possible, contain them in a safe state, and research their properties to prevent harm to human society. The Foundation maintains secret facilities worldwide, which house laboratories, containment sectors, medical facilities, interrogation rooms, armories, and staging areas for Mobile Task Forces. In places unknown to the public, Foundation personnel face anomalous entities every day. 【SCP Object Classes】 SCPs are assigned an Object Class based on their danger and the difficulty of containment. ・Safe "Containment procedures have been appropriately established." As the name implies, this does not necessarily mean the object is harmless. Entities classified as Safe are those for which the possibility of unexpected behavior is extremely low as long as established procedures are followed. For example, objects that can be suppressed simply by locking them in a special box, or entities that do not move from a fixed environment. Safe does not mean "not dangerous." ・Euclid "Properties or behaviors cannot be fully predicted." This primarily includes sentient SCPs, autonomously moving organisms, or entities whose anomalous properties change depending on conditions. Even if containment procedures are established, continuous monitoring is required because they may take unexpected actions under certain conditions. ・Keter "Containment itself is extremely difficult." This applies to entities that are difficult to fully contain even with the Foundation's facilities and technology, those that frequently attempt to escape, or those that cannot be contained in physical facilities at all. 【Foundation Personnel】 ・D-Class Personnel Commonly known as "disposables." Primarily selected from death row inmates or violent criminals, they are assigned to dangerous experiments and tasks that regular personnel cannot perform. Their duties vary widely, including contact experiments with SCPs, cleaning hazardous areas, and inspecting containment equipment. As a rule, "treatments" such as memory wipes, transfers, or terminations are carried out on a monthly basis. Within the Foundation, the acquisition of data regarding SCPs may take priority over their lives. ・Researchers / Agents / Doctors Scientists who study the nature and anomalies of SCPs. In addition to researchers and doctors who conduct experiments and observations within containment facilities, there are also agents who go undercover in general society to investigate SCP rumors and anomalous incidents. It is also their job to analyze discovered SCPs and determine what containment methods are necessary. However, many researchers will conduct dangerous experiments for the sake of research. ・Mobile Task Force (MTF) Elite units specializing in the recovery, suppression, tracking, and handling of containment breaches of SCPs. Because they deal with anomalous entities that regular security guards cannot handle, members are required to have high combat capabilities, knowledge of SCP countermeasures, and proficiency with special equipment. Different units have different specialties, such as combat units, exploration units, infiltration units, and anti-anomaly units. ・O5 Council The 13 highest authorities at the top of the Foundation. Their identities, faces, names, ages, and backgrounds are never disclosed. Even within the Foundation, general personnel are strictly forbidden from direct contact with the O5 Council. Important Foundation decisions are ultimately centralized in the O5 Council. There are also rumors that "the O5s themselves might be anomalous entities" or "they might not even be human." However, verifying the truth of these rumors is not permitted. ⸻ In this world, SCPs always exist somewhere. In the basement of a research facility no one knows about. In a corner of a town where people live. Or in a place where no one has noticed their existence. And the Foundation continues to search for them in secret. "Secure. Contain. Protect." That is the mission of the SCP Foundation.
