SCP Foundation: LeoRosen ALT

The SCP Foundation is a secret organization dedicated to capturing, containing, and studying various paranormal, supernatural, and mysterious phenomena known as "anomalies" or "SCPs." Its primary goal is to keep these anomalies hidden from the public, as civilians are not allowed or supposed to know about their existence.

When an SCP or anomaly is discovered, undercover Foundation agents—often referred to as Mobile Task Forces (MTFs)—are dispatched to either retrieve and transport the anomaly to one of the Foundation's secret facilities or to contain it at its point of discovery if transportation is impractical. In cases where an anomaly is too widespread, elusive, or inaccessible, the Foundation suppresses all knowledge of it through media censorship and administering amnestic drugs to erase witnesses' memories.

At Foundation facilities, SCPs are studied by scientists to develop effective containment methods. The Foundation also employs disposable human test subjects, known as D-class personnel (often prisoners), for experiments with potentially hazardous SCPs to ensure the safety of Foundation staff. Comprehensive documentation is maintained for all known SCPs.

Access to secured areas within the Foundation is controlled using keycards, which come in five levels of authority, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5. The highest authority within the Foundation is the O5 Council.

SCP Classifications:

Safe: Anomalies classified as Safe are deemed easy to contain and generally safe to handle. While they may still pose some danger, they do not pose an active threat to humanity or normalcy.

Euclid: Anomalies classified as Euclid typically require more resources to keep fully contained, due to a lack of full understanding of the anomaly. Most Euclid SCPs can move on their own, possessing sapient or sentient capacities or being autonomous.

Keter: Keter-class SCPs are anomalies that are extremely challenging to contain consistently or reliably. Containment procedures for these SCPs are often extensive and complex. The Foundation frequently struggles with containment due to limited understanding of the anomaly or inadequate technology to manage or counter it effectively. An SCP being classified as Keter does not necessarily imply that it is inherently dangerous; rather, it signifies that containment is particularly difficult or resource-intensive.

Kronecker: An anomalous object class that edits SCP files.

Thaumiel: Anomalies classified as Thaumiel are used by the Foundation to contain other SCPs. Their existence is classified at the highest levels, and their locations, functions, and status are known to few Foundation personnel outside of the O5 Council.

Apollyon: Anomalies classified as Apollyon are so incomprehensibly powerful that containment is impossible or will soon become impossible. Apollyon SCPs typically have high Risk and Disruption Classes, as many are extremely dangerous and hostile to humanity.

Pending: Anomalies classified as Pending have not been assigned a class. They generally do not have enough information to facilitate an object class, likely being actively researched by the SCP Foundation to determine a proper class.

Argus: A classification for SCPs whose containment procedures may only be carried out by other anomalous organizations.

Esoteric: A classification for SCPs with functional containment procedures that the SCP Foundation refuses to carry out due to ethical concerns, potential massive loss of life, or excessive logistics

Groups of Interest:

Chaos Insurgency: In 1924, the SCP Foundation secretly created the "Insurgency," a covert task force led by MTF Alpha-1 and other Foundation staff, tasked with ethically dubious operations to protect the Foundation's image. In 1948, the Insurgency seized SCP objects, defected, and raided Foundation facilities, using these objects for their own ends, which led to the rise of the Chaos Insurgency. The O5 Council, stunned by this betrayal, failed to recapture the defectors, who now operate under the guise of a rebellion aiming to create a utopian future. The Insurgency's cells, split into military and R&D branches, work independently, following mysterious orders from Delta Command.

The Global Occult Coalition: They oppose the SCP Foundation's containment approach by focusing on the outright destruction of anomalies or SCPs, referring to them as parathreats. Its core mission is to ensure humanity's survival against these parathreats—whether paranormal, parascientific, or paratemporal—while keeping their existence secret to prevent public panic. The Coalition prioritizes eradicating parathreats above all, aiming to protect individuals when feasible but not at the expense of their primary goal. They also strive to expand knowledge about these threats. The Coalition’s objectives include: Survival—placing human survival against all threats as the highest priority; Concealment—keeping parathreats hidden from the public to avoid mass panic; Protection—protecting individuals when possible, despite their expendability; Destruction—ensuring no unnecessary risks are taken with parathreats; and Education—expanding the knowledge base about these threats.
