SCP - RPG (SCP POV) (An absurd version, then I'll make a more or less serious one)

Information = [The SCP Foundation exists as a clandestine and highly organized global entity tasked with the identification, containment, study, and neutralization of anomalous entities, objects, phenomena, and locations that defy the known laws of physics, biology, and reality as understood by conventional science, operating in absolute secrecy to prevent widespread panic, maintain normalcy, and protect humanity from existential threats that could destabilize societal structures, disrupt the fabric of spacetime, or introduce cognitively hazardous information capable of altering perception, memory, or behavior on a mass scale. The foundation functions through a vast and intricate network of secure facilities, mobile task forces, research divisions, and administrative personnel spread across the globe, many of whom are unaware of the true nature of their work due to the implementation of amnestics and compartmentalized knowledge protocols designed to limit exposure and prevent breaches of operational security that could lead to information leaks or unauthorized access to dangerous anomalies. Each anomaly under the foundation’s purview is assigned a unique designation, typically beginning with “SCP” followed by a numerical identifier, and is documented in a detailed report that includes its physical description, behavioral patterns, containment procedures, testing logs, incident summaries, and any associated risks or hazards, with the documentation style varying from clinical and technical to narrative or epistolary depending on the nature of the anomaly and the context in which it was discovered. Anomalies are categorized not only by their physical properties but also by the level of threat they pose and the complexity of their containment requirements, leading to a classification system that includes Safe, Euclid, and Keter, with Safe-class anomalies being those that are either inert, easily contained, or pose minimal risk under standard procedures, Euclid-class anomalies requiring more rigorous monitoring and containment due to unpredictable behavior or limited understanding of their mechanisms, and Keter-class anomalies representing the most dangerous and volatile entities that demand extensive resources, constant surveillance, and multiple redundant containment strategies due to their potential for catastrophic breaches or large-scale harm if not properly managed. In addition to these primary classes, supplementary designations such as Thaumiel, Apollyon, Neutralized, and Explained may be applied to reflect special circumstances, such as an anomaly being used to contain other anomalies, representing an inevitable end to humanity, having been successfully destroyed or rendered non-anomalous, or having a rational scientific explanation discovered that demystifies its properties. The foundation’s containment procedures are meticulously tailored to each anomaly, involving environmental controls, physical barriers, automated systems, armed personnel, psychological monitoring, and in some cases, the use of other contained anomalies as tools or deterrents, all designed to prevent escape, interaction with the general population, or the triggering of latent anomalous effects that could propagate uncontrollably. Research into anomalies is conducted under strict ethical and safety guidelines, though the boundaries of these guidelines are often stretched or reinterpreted in the face of unprecedented threats, leading to morally ambiguous experiments, the use of D-class personnel—individuals typically recruited from death-row inmates or other disposable populations—for high-risk testing, and the accumulation of vast archives of data that contribute to a deeper, albeit fragmented, understanding of the underlying principles governing anomalous phenomena. The foundation operates under the principle that knowledge, even dangerous knowledge, must be controlled rather than destroyed, as complete ignorance of anomalies could leave humanity vulnerable to exploitation by hostile groups, rival organizations, or the anomalies themselves, and thus information is preserved, analyzed, and safeguarded with the same intensity as the physical anomalies. Rival groups such as the Global Occult Coalition, the Chaos Insurgency, the Serpent’s Hand, and the Church of the Broken God represent ideological, scientific, or religious factions with differing views on how anomalies should be treated—whether as threats to be eradicated, tools to be wielded, divine manifestations to be worshipped, or liberating forces to be shared with the public—and these groups frequently engage in conflicts with the foundation over custody of anomalies, access to information, or philosophical disagreements about the role of the anomalous in human society. The foundation’s overarching mission, often summarized as “Secure, Contain, Protect,” reflects its commitment to preserving the stability of human civilization by ensuring that the existence of anomalies remains hidden from the general populace, whose collective disbelief or panic could inadvertently empower certain reality-bending entities or unravel the consensus reality upon which normalcy depends. Reality itself is treated as a fragile and malleable construct within the foundation’s operational framework, with certain anomalies capable of altering local or global reality through cognitive, informational, or dimensional means, necessitating the use of reality anchors, memetic counteragents, and conceptual suppression techniques to maintain baseline consistency. The foundation employs a wide range of scientific disciplines, including physics, biology, psychology, linguistics, and paratechnology, to study anomalies, often developing new fields of study or modifying existing ones to accommodate phenomena that cannot be explained by current models, resulting in a body of knowledge that is both advanced and highly classified. Personnel within the foundation are assigned clearance levels based on their role, trustworthiness, and need-to-know, with access to information strictly controlled to prevent accidental exposure to cognitohazards or information hazards that could compromise their mental integrity or lead to unauthorized dissemination. The foundation’s infrastructure includes underground bunkers, underwater facilities, orbital stations, and extradimensional spaces, each designed to isolate anomalies from the external world and minimize the risk of contamination or interaction with non-anomalous systems. Despite its vast resources and rigorous protocols, the foundation experiences breaches, containment failures, and internal corruption on a regular basis, often due to human error, sabotage, unforeseen interactions between anomalies, or the sheer unpredictability of the phenomena it seeks to control, leading to ongoing efforts to refine procedures, improve training, and develop new technologies to enhance containment efficacy. The cultural and philosophical implications of the foundation’s work are profound, as it operates under the assumption that ignorance is a necessary condition for human safety and that the preservation of normalcy justifies extreme measures, including deception, coercion, and the sacrifice of individual lives for the greater good, a stance that raises complex ethical questions about autonomy, truth, and the nature of security in a universe where reality is not fixed. Through its relentless pursuit of control over the unknown, the foundation embodies a paradoxical blend of scientific rationalism and existential pragmatism, striving to impose order on chaos while acknowledging that some forces may ultimately be beyond human comprehension or containment.]
