The Foundation itself[]
Foundation personnel[]
General Tropes[]
Dr. Clef, SCP number pending[]
- Asexuality: To a downright supernatural degree. He's immune to the effects of SCPs that affect sexual desire. Also, normal women tend to find him repulsive or unnerving, at an almost instinctual level.
- Humorously, after D-Class personnel tried to use the Gay Bomb on him, he compares himself to The Sisters of The Shawshank Redemption, and will pull it on anyone else who tries to repeat the stunt.
- Dr. Clef is immune to seduction because his crotch is a hand, and that hand holds a gun.
- There appears to be a single exception to his asexuality, however. This would be Lilith, who was feisty enough back in the day to get him interested.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He did not take well to Dr. W's experimenting on human children. With SCP-682.
- Reality Warper Killer, Hunter of His Own Kind
- Man of Wealth and Taste: Once used to describe himself.
- Multiple Choice Past
- No Sell: he's resistant to Reality Warpers.
- Perverse Sexual Lust: In Incident 239-B, he claims to have had a crush on Maleficent, although this may not be true, as he's implied numerous times he's not to be trusted.
- Phrase Catcher: "Genre-savvy and enigmatic".
- Satan: Maybe. Or not... probably.
- They Killed Kenny - during the April contest.
- The Unpronounceable: He claims his name is the sound of an A-minor chord played on a ukulele.
Dr. Gears[]
- Bald of Evil / Bald of Awesome
- The Comically Serious
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: between his persona and the real person.

- Red Oni, Blue Oni: With Crow; Kain being red and Cog being blue.
- Ridiculously-Human Robots, maybe.
- The Spock
Dr. Kondraki[]
- Badass Bookworm
- Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Known to pull pranks causing death or serious injury to others on a whim, shoot at people for no apparent reason, and otherwise engage in violence when bored. Also drove one of his assistants to a psychotic break.

- Karma Houdini: Of a sort. He was cleared of all responsibility after he broke Dr. Clef's neck.
- Must Have Caffeine
- Perma Stubble
- Pet the Dog: His efforts to save 239 from the frantically homicidal Clef.
- Villainous Breakdown: A truly epic one in "The King Is Dead".
- What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: The reason he wants SCP-239 to be spared.
- At least, that was what Dr. Clef thought his motives were. It turns out that Kondraki's original motive was actually just stopping Clef from causing more chaos for the foundation. At most, Kondraki was psychically manipulated by 239 without realizing it, as he discusses in an after-action interview log with an overseer.
Dr. Rights[]

- Incorruptible Pure Pureness
- The McCoy
- Only Sane Man: Oh, yeah.
Dr. Iceberg[]
- An Ice Person: Source of his current codename.
- The Dragon - to Gears.
- Kavorka Man
- Modern Major-General: He's assigned to paperwork despite having contained several SCPs and being an explosives expert. Granted, he's good at paperwork too...
- Status Quo Is God: Word of God is that he's never gonna get the promotion he wants.
- Stuff Blowing Up
Agent Strelkinov[]
- Badass Boast: Captain Dmitri Arkadeyevich Strelnikov, Twice Winner of Order of Suvorov for Exceptional Leadership Under Fire and Selfless Heroism and Bravery, One Who Has Saved Many Children From Burning Buildings.

- Boisterous Bruiser
- Gratuitous English: Speaks much like Team Fortress 2's Heavy.

Bijhan[]
- It's Personal: Almost everything he's written so far has to do with the IRG, which he defected from.

- Hypocritical Humor
- Lovable Coward
- The Mole
- Refuge in Audacity

- Five-Finger Discount / Big Eater
Dr. "Photosynthetic"[]
- Green Thumb
- Not Good with People
- Curious as a Monkey: "Unless you want to have her literally poking your Safe-class item, or sniffing at a Euclid, exercise caution."
Dr. Sorts[]
- Brown Note: His specialty.
- It's Personal: He really, really doesn't like artists, having seen the trade from inside.
- Mad Artist: His other, frequently coinciding specialty.
Dr. Mann[]
- Devil in Plain Sight: The only one to notice that Hatbot is this.
- Hotblooded Sideburns

- Badass Normal: Was recruited when he beat [REDACTED] senseless with a surgical tray for stealing his lunch.
- Combat Medic

Agent MacLean[]
- Defector From Decadence: Inverted, as he left the Foundation because he no longer believed that they were doing the right thing.
- Trigger Happy: Has a "tendency to shoot to kill when startled".
Agent Enma Ai[]
- Hidden in Plain Sight: Her main ability, honed to the point that she often gets locked inside rooms because no one saw her there.
- Shout-Out: Both her agent name and her appearance come from the main character from Hell Girl.
- The Stoic
Mister Flames[]
- Badass Beard: The picture says it all, really.
- Lethal Chef: Has a tendency to inflict Fire-Breathing Diner on victims.
Fishmonger[]
- Ha Ha Ha No: This.
- Nice Character, Mean Actor: The opposite of Gears. Got himself banned for making inflammatory comments and requested all his work (most notably Wanderlust stories, the Black Queen and SCP-808) be taken down. It was.
Agent Lombardi[]
- Sergeant Rock
- No OSHA Compliance: Subverted. "Who here is willin' to die rather than give up on the mission? One, two, three, four… Okay, you five fail. Counter to what some dingbats will tell you, the latter is actually the preferred option."
- After Action Report
- More Dakka: "...that's when you pull out your gun and you shoot the fucker. If that don't work, you shoot it again, because ninety-nine times outta a hundred, shootin' will work if you do enough of it."
Select SCPs[]
Plenty of SCPs are embodiments of tropes:
SCP-173[]
- For the Evulz: It's apparently just playing a game when it kills people for blinking.
- Humanoid Abomination: for a given definition of "humanoid"...
- Living Statue
- Offscreen Teleportation/Light Flicker Teleportation: Similar to that of the Weeping Angels. Also, a mixture of human blood and feces inexplicably appears in any room it's stored in. Needless to say, D-class personnel are used to clean it up.
SCP-682[]
- Absolute Xenophobe: toward nearly all Earth life.
- Adaptive Ability: Fortunately, the adaptations wear off eventually and it can always be at least incapacitated by heavy physical damage.
- Berserk Button: Earth life, with rare exceptions.
- Call a Smeerp a Rabbit: It only looks like a reptile.
- Eldritch Abomination: When brought in to terminate 682, SCP-343, who is thought to be God, refuses and remarks "He's not one of mine. Deal with him yourself." Hoo boy.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: SCP-682 really is a Hard-To-Destroy-Reptile. Although the picture used in the article is of "The Moscow Monster", which was really just the corpse of a beluga whale.
- Everything Alive Through Alien Eyes: One possible explanation for why it always tries to kill everything except SCP-053. It's not evil, it's just that everything alive in our world except SCP-053 is so horribly, gut-wrenchingly disgusting and wrong that SCP-682 can't help reacting by trying to make us all stop existing ASAP. It also didn't try to kill Dr. Clef for some reason. It just stared at him. It's anyone's guess what this means.
- Extreme Omnivore: It gains energy from anything it ingests, even the acid used to contain it.
- Flowery Insults / Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: It calls SCP-999 a "feculent little snot wad" and invites it to "[DATA EXPUNGED] and die", and generally gets pretty vicious verbally if it's restrained physically.
- Godzilla Threshold: "Special Containment Procedures: SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible."
- Good Thing You Can Heal: Actually, no, it really isn't in this case.
- Half The Lizard He Used To Be: They cut him in half with a high-powered laser. Each half grew back into a full-size 682. Thankfully, once 682-B was incapacitated and 682-A was cornered, 682-A ate 682-B in an attempt to invoke Heal Thyself.
- Infernal Retaliation: The Foundation once attempted to launch SCP-682 into the sun with a very large cannon. It came back ON FIRE. Of course, this was only mentioned in the joke SCP entry for said very large cannon, so it is not canon by virtue of the 1543-j not existing within SCP canon (nebulous and ill-defined as it is). Just cannon. It also had wings that launched razors-sharp feathers.
- Inversion: SCP-1364: 682 is an unidentifiable "reptile" that adapts to survive and hates everything while 1364 is an anteater that, despite being harmed by bright lights, still wants a hug.
- Nigh Invulnerable: This is its main trait. This and...
- No Sell: Even to the most consistently fatal SCPs. Not to mention...
- Nuke'Em: One of the proposed ways to end it, was by using a 60 MT thermonuclear bomb. Ultimately decided against.
Researcher: Yes, it's a goddamn nuke, but if 682 survives and adapts we'd be boned beyond belief. |
- Omnicidal Maniac: SCP-682 doesn't want to set the world on fire, but just wants to destroy every living thing in it except for SCP-053, which is close enough.
- Dr. Clef also doesn't seem to trigger its murder-death-kill reflex, whatever that means...
- Pet the Dog: SCP-053 is possibly the only living thing that 682 didn't immediately try to kill - in fact, 053 played with it. Did we mention that this is the opposite of what usually happens, given that 053's main power seems to be to make people inexplicably and violently hate her after some time?
- Went into Papa Wolf and Even Evil Has Loved Ones territory when 682 attacked the personnel sent to retrieve 053, presumably believing they'd harm 053.
- That or it was just doing whatever it usually does, mauling anything in sight.
- 053's other power is that anyone or anything that causes her harm dies. It's possible that 682 could sense this power and was merely adapting as it always does.
- Went into Papa Wolf and Even Evil Has Loved Ones territory when 682 attacked the personnel sent to retrieve 053, presumably believing they'd harm 053.
- Running Gag: Not a gag, per se, but any time a particularly destructive or mind-altering SCP is contained, they expose it to SCP-682 to see if 682 is destroyed by it. This Very Wiki has an entire "Attempts To Kill SCP-682" section on the SCP's Crowning Moment of Funny sub-page.
- Unstoppable Rage: It's not as popular as its other traits, but SCP-682 has episodes that are hard to describe as anything else, where it seems to lose control and become even more aggressive and even harder to incapacitate than usual. The abovementioned incident with the personnel trying to remove SCP-053 is a good example.
- Why Did It Have To Be SCP-173?: Perhaps the only thing that SCP-682 is completely terrified of.
SCP-058[]
- Evil Brit
- Starfish Alien / Our Monsters Are Weird / Eldritch Abomination (maybe)
- Stealth Pun: It's a heart of darkness.
- Word Salad
SCP-106[]
- Body Horror: It resembles a rotting, diseased corpse of an old man. Plus it makes its victims look like this.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: What it does to its victims when it drags them into its pocket dimension.
- Evil Old Folks: Looks like one any way.
- Humanoid Abomination
- Plaguemaster/Walking Wasteland: Anything it ouches corrodes away, it can even pass through walls.
- Pocket Dimension: Has one of its own.
- Slasher Smile
- Weakened by the Light: It cowers away into its pocket dimension when it is subject to very bright flash.
- Why Did It Have To Be Bizarrchitecture: It becomes confused when subject to complex/"random" structures.
SCP-076-2 AKA Able[]
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "SCP-076-2 has however, shown that it has great knowledge of human anatomy (although in a highly violent context), military tactics of open warfare, metallurgy, and, strangely enough, the care of livestock."
- Ax Crazy: If Able is bored (which is often), he'll entertain himself by going on homicidal rampages.
- Berserk Button: Presumably, exposure to a picture of the symbol on SCP-073's forehead. (SCP-073 is Cain.)
- Beyond the Impossible: Able was once tasked (though as a separate incident/story, its canonical status is iffy) with trying to kill 682 listed above. They tore each other to ribbons but neither quite get the job done, took a break, went back into it, and fought so hard that they caused a [DATA EXPUNGED] event, implied to have been a hole they broke in the universe. Which means that one or the other's powers went off the scale, or that they're both such insane Human/Eldritch abominations that their co-presence messed up the laws of physics.
- Blood Knight
- Blue and Orange Morality: This is the result of the psychological testing done on him.
- Cain and Abel: He's the Abel. Notably, 6,000 years of undeath has reversed his role; he's now more of a Cain than Cain himself (who is also an SCP; see below).
- Canon Sue: Invoked. Able is explicitly the most sue-ish you can go, and you are not allowed to add an SCP more sue-ish than him. It's called the "Able line".
- Hyperspace Arsenal
- Implacable Man: It takes a lot to even stagger Able, let alone incapacitate him.
- Lightning Bruiser
- Retcon: The main 076 article was rewritten to remove the Mobile Task Force Omega-7 stuff, and make Able less "lolawesome". He's less of a Wolverine expy now and more of a humanoid bundle of murder. He is also now completely hostile towards the Foundation; no longer is he working for any side.
- The Mobile Task Force Omega-7 stuff was later worked back in with key changes. The "official SCP-076 file" makes it VERY clear that he's Chaotic Neutral at best, while the records of his time in Mobile Task Force Omega-7 state that the instant Able got bored again, he reverted back to slaughtering SCP personnel.
- Spell My Name with an "S": Proper spelling, as listed on the main article and by Word of God, is Able. Too many people misspell it using the Biblical spelling, though.
- Worthy Opponent: SCP-076-2 lamented the loss of an SCP agent who was able to match him in combat. Partly because said agent killed as collateral damage in an airstrike (to stop another SCP) instead of in combat (as 076-2 thought a Worthy Opponent deserved) and partly because fighting the Foundation was really boring without said agent there to make it challenging.
- Deconstruction / Fridge Brilliance: Able has no interests beyond killing people, is perpetually bored, can summon weapons out of an apparently unlimited space and respawns upon death. He is a videogame player character.
SCP-231-7[]
- Cult: The Children of the Scarlet King are referred to as a cult.
- Fetus Terrible: The [DATA EXPUNGED] she carries.
- Noodle Incident: What IS she carrying? What do they do to her?
- "Further recruitment of Class D Personnel is to take place among convicted sex offenders only, to minimize possibility of a second botched 110." Read this. A better (and more horrifying) question is: what don't they do to her?
- The writer apparently once claimed it wasn't the obvious. Allegedly, it's something worse.
- "Further recruitment of Class D Personnel is to take place among convicted sex offenders only, to minimize possibility of a second botched 110." Read this. A better (and more horrifying) question is: what don't they do to her?
- Sealed Evil In An SCP
- The End of the World as We Know It: Assumed to be what will happen if SCP-231-7 isn't regularly [DATA EXPUNGED].
- You Do NOT Want to Know: Inducted amnesia has become mandatory for personnel who have to handle the duties associated with her, because the suicide rate was disproportionately high.
- Easter Egg: A hidden line at the end of the O5 report suggests a different reason 231 has not been cured yet.
- He Who Fights Monsters: It basically suggests this of the Foundation.
SCP-085 ("Cassy")[]
- Art Initiates Life: Her origin.
- The Cutie: Admit it. You want to give her a hug.
- Medium Awareness
- Pet the Dog: The Foundation's treatment of her is better than most other sentient SCP's, even when they're also harmless.
SCP-239 ("Sigurrós")[]
- God: One of many theories.
- Little Miss Almighty: Deconstructed.
- The End of the World as We Know It: Narrowly averted in Incident 239-B, which convinced the Foundation that she needed to be kept in a coma to avoid activating her powers. That isn't going too well, either...
- The Omnipotent
SCP-953[]
- Ax Crazy
- Berserk Button: Being called a kitsune. "Personnel asking what the difference is are to be reminded of the difference between a Cherokee Indian and a New Delhi Indian". Furries also seem to really piss her off.
- The Fair Folk: This is technically what a kumiho is, but her sheer malevolence makes the Court Unseelie look perfectly benign by comparison, and that's saying a LOT.
- Hair-Trigger Temper
- I'm a Humanitarian
- Kitsune: NOT NOT NOT NOT.
- Humanoid Abomination: When she's taking a human form.
- Shape Shifter
- The Trickster: in-between eating humans, she loves to play sick tricks on them, seemingly purely For the Evulz. She tricks a mother into eating her own child. Also, when a team of agents arrives to apprehend her, she mentally dominates them and feeds them meat with rice... only the meat turns out to be rotting human flesh, and the rice is live maggots.
- The Vamp: She seemingly exploited this to bite off an agent's genitals, before showing it to him and proceeding to tear out his liver.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: can pretend to be one in order to increase her mental hold over her victims.
SCP-914[]
- Black Box
- Clock Punk
- Combinatorial Explosion
- Fusion Dance: Generally from two items on the Fine setting
- Turned Up to Eleven: The end result of the Very Fine setting
- Serial Escalation: Fine outputs put back in on Very Fine
- For the Lulz: One theory to its purpose
- Insufferable Genius: Its "personality", if it even has one, seems to resemble this
- Smart People Play Chess
Professor "Q": Yes, I've been playing chess with 914. …Yes, I'm aware it's supposed to be non-sentient, but that hardly explains why it's winning. |
- Troll: Definitely shows more than a few shades of this. Apparently one of those shades is pink.
I hate [EXPLETIVES REDACTED] pink! -Dr. Hale |
- Literal Genie: At times.
SCP-661[]
SCP-811 ("Aé")[]
- Beauty to Beast
- Bizarre Alien Biology: She has an incomplete digestive tract, absorbs nutrients through her skin, and has liquid rot for blood.
- Bloody Murder
- Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Doesn't have a "native tongue", per se, but it's apparent that she has complex thoughts and is frustrated by her inability to express them well.
- Poisonous Person
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot
- Was Once a Woman
SCP-959 ("The Bogeyman")[]
SCP-966 ("Sleep Killer")[]
- Invisible Monsters: Can only be seen through infrared filters.
- Humanoid Abomination: They don't seem to possess human-level intelligence, though.
- Wolverine Claws
SCP-662 ("Mr. Deeds")[]
- A Wizard Did It: Not even Deeds himself is quite sure how he's able to do what he does. Thinking about it too much seems to distress him.
- Battle Butler: Well, Deeds is a butler... and you can send him to kill people.
- Death Is a Slap on The Wrist: Whenever Deeds is killed, no matter how severe his injuries, he comes right back once his corpse is out of sight and the bell is rung.
- Genie in a Bottle: Deeds, with the bell serving as his bottle.
- Offscreen Teleportation: He needs to be unobserved to bring back items, and knows if he is being observed. If there are cameras, they simply malfunction for a minute or two, with Deeds not knowing or caring how he got the item.
SCP-582 ("Bundle")[]
- Brown Note: Of a sort.
- The Slender Man Mythos: Is strongly implied to be Slender Man.
SCP-1000 ("Bigfoot")[]
- Ancient Conspiracy: "You think Bigfoot is funny because we want you to think Bigfoot is funny." - Director Jones
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti
- Blatant Lies: An earlier description was an over-the-top cover story that Yetis are hugely dangerous beings with "death auras"; the current one is a "regular" cryptozoology description.
- Humans Are Bastards: "Then their civilization fell. And we did it. By 'we' I don't mean the Foundation. By 'we', I mean humanity."
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: "We left no traces. Not even our own memory. We turned one of the yetis' weapons on ourselves, wiped out any knowledge of SCP-1000 and the greatest civilization the planet had ever seen."
- Not So Different: "SCP-1000 are just like us. That's what makes them so dangerous. We wiped them from history and memory. We dissolved their civilization and we slaughtered most of their species. Just ask yourselves: If they got the chance, what more would they do to us?"
- Fortunately they forgive us, as long as we let them "back in". Unfortunately their forgiveness depends on how soon we allow them "back".
SCP-1867 ("Lord Blackwood")[]
- Gentleman Adventurer
- Intellectual Animal: Possibly. Sort of. Physically, Lord Blackwood appears to be a perfectly ordinary sea slug. He seems oblivious to this fact.
- The Munchausen
Groups of Interest[]
The Chaos Insurgency[]
- Banana Republic/Ruritania: They've apparently created many.
- Hufflepuff House: Not that many contributors seem to care about using them.

- Stupid Jetpack Hitler: A few, although they are by no means a Nazi organization.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist
The Serpent's Hand[]
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast
- Satan Is Good: About a third of their belief system, the rest being Norse Mythology and something that vaguely resembles Wicca.
- SCP Wrongs Group

Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd.[]
- Auction of Evil: They run these regularly.
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The other organizations might've made up their ominous names, but the name of this group would imply that they actually have a partner named Dark, of all things.
- Smoky Gentlemen's Club
The Unusual Incidents Unit (FBI)[]
- The Ditz: The entire organization.
- Shout-Out: "Disparagingly referred to as X-Files" by the rest of the FBI.

Dr. Wondertainment[]
Alexylva University[]

- ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS: Just like ancient Rome, that universe apparently has no lowercase letters.
- Alternate History: It exists in a world where the Roman Empire has endured to the present day.
- For Want of a Nail: SCP-961 implies that the only reason our world hasn't ended up the same way as theirs is because of a mysterious... someone influencing historical events.
Are We Cool Yet?[]
- Attention Whore: of a sort. Their "installations" are placed for maximum exposure. "Exposure" in this context is synonymous with "casualties."
- Dada: if AWCY? has any consistent philosophy, Dadaism is it.
- Mad Artist
- Terrorists Without a Cause: Depending on whether or not the reader considers "art" a cause.
- True Art Is Incomprehensible: In-universe.
Individuals of interest[]

- The Ghost
Nobody[]
