The researcher is a scientist who is supposed to resemble a bald uncle in a lab coat. They have expertise in everything from medical and psychological to geology and physics; These personnel conduct experiments and attempt to figure out how SCPs work. Similarly, there are many types of researchers:

Senior Researcher: A Senior Researcher is a high-level researcher with decades of experience and is the leader of the entire group. Senior researchers' responsibilities are similar to coordinating research and testing of one or more SCPs, with very few encounters with each other.

Regular Researchers: Ordinary researchers have years or possibly decades of experience and are often assigned to study a particular aspect of an SCP; One researcher may be tasked with researching why SCP-173 excretes organic waste, another may attempt to figure out what it is made of, whether anomalous materials were added to its fabrication, and a third may theorize why it only moves when no one is looking.

Research Assistant: A research assistant or junior researcher is a low-level researcher who may be new or not experienced enough to make a formal judgment. They are members of the general group who work with the Senior Fellows, who provide assistance and receive instruction from the Senior Fellows.

Security personnel

Site security personnel, often referred to simply as guards/security guards, are responsible for maintaining the physical and information security of Foundation programs, operations, and personnel at Foundation facilities. Primarily selected from military, police and prison facility personnel around the world, security personnel are trained to use all types of weapons, as well as contingency plans to deal with a variety of contingency plans covering containment breaches as well as hostilities. These personnel are also responsible for information security, such as sensitive files that are not misplaced and the facility's computers are safe against external intrusions. They are also on the front lines of the Foundation's facilities against outside intruders.

Security officers are similar to street patrol officers; They handle a lot of routine tasks that don't involve shooting or arresting, such as writing traffic accident reports and directing traffic. Ordinary patrol officers do not need training or equipment to deal with serious situations, such as armed robbery of a bank or a gunman in a public building. Similarly, your regular security personnel may only carry some basic equipment without being equipped or trained to deal with a containment breach or attack from an outside enemy hostile SCP instance.

Tactical Responders

Response Teams or Tactical Teams are highly trained, heavily armed combat teams tasked with escorting containment teams in the event of involvement with high-risk anomalous individuals or hostile groups, as well as protecting Foundation facilities in response to hostilities. Response Teams are effective military units stationed at all major Foundation facilities, and are ready to strike at all times.

Tactical Response Teams/Tactical Response Personnel are similar to SWAT squads; They have more advanced body armor and more weapons and tools to deal with serious accidents. Similarly, the site's response team is armed with heavy weaponry and is capable of handling a containment breach of SCP-682; The job of the area guards is to call in for support and help non-combatants evacuate, rather than to line up with the raging lizards.

Field staff

Field agents

Field agents are the eyes and ears of the Foundation, trained to search and investigate traces of anomalous activity, often lurking in local or local police departments or local operational units, such as emergency medical services and autonomous organizations. As a sleeper unit, field agents are not typically equipped with sufficient equipment to handle confirmed anomalous activity; Once such an incident has been confirmed and contained, field agents will usually call in the nearest field containment team to contain the anomaly for safety reasons.

There are two types of field agents, the first type of field agents are essentially spies or undercover agents who work in police stations, hospitals, or other similar locations, where they can monitor anomalous activity and report any suspicious activity from their superiors. These personnel are usually unarmed and unequipped to deal with serious anomalous activity; Their job is to call for support as soon as possible before anything strange happens. The second type of field agent is the investigator or agent, a person wearing a suit or other inconspicuous coat who will probe where something unusual is suspected to be going on and determine if the situation requires Foundation intervention. While they may carry certain basic weapons, they are not soldiers; Their job is also to call for support once the anomaly is confirmed.

Mobile Task Forces are specialized units composed of experienced field personnel drawn from within the Foundation. These contingents are assigned to deal with threats of a specific nature, with field research experts in a variety of fields to deal with anomalies of a specific nature, as well as heavily armed combat units to secure hostile anomalous individuals of a particular nature. For details, please refer to the Mobile Task Force Documentation.

Mobile task forces are similar to the FBI, CIA, or National Guard; They are experts and are only dispatched when there is a major accident or when the local police department is unable to handle the situation. This type of situation is explained more in the Mobile Task Force Guide, but in general a Mobile Task Force will not be fixed to a particular site, and will only be called in if a highly exceptional or dangerous situation arises.

Another analogy between security personnel, tactical response teams, and mobile task forces is that security personnel are similar to military police (MPs) in military bases, response teams are front-line combat infantry units, and mobile task forces are similar to special forces such as Navy SEALs or Delta Special Forces.

Another analogy is that guards are similar to nurses, response teams are similar to primary care or general practitioners, and mobile task forces are similar to specialists and surgeons.

intendant

O5 Council

The O5 Council is a committee of the Foundation's highest-ranking directors, with access to all strategic information and classified data that the Foundation has gathered, including content concealed in [DATA EXPUNGED] and ██. Has its own Mobile Task Force, MTF Alpha-1, the "Red Right Hand".

The O5 Council oversees all Foundation actions throughout the world and directs its long-term strategic plans, but due to the sensitive nature of their position, members of the O5 Council are not to have direct contact with any anomalous objects, individuals, or phenomena.

In addition, the identities of all members of the O5 Council are classified; Council members are referred to by their numerical codes (O5-1 through O5-13). It's worth noting that maybe O5 has only one person, maybe a lot of people share a number, or maybe they don't even exist.

With so many secrets in their possession, the O5 Council is a member of the Board for life. The departing members either died in office or defected from the Foundation, and the few retired members were largely amnesticized to prevent the leakage of secrets.

The Administrator

The supreme existence of the Foundation, who has access to any level of security secrets, oversees the operation of the entire Foundation. In reality, The Administrator is also real, he was the founder and early administrator of the Foundation Wikidot, and later faded out of the Foundation due to health reasons, for more information about his situation, see the first paragraph of the history of the universe [3] .

Site Director

The Site Director of the Foundation's primary facility is the highest-level personnel at the site and is responsible for the continued and safe operation of the site, including its containment of anomalies and other plans. All major department directors report directly to the Site Director, who forwards reports to the O5 Council.

Object Class

Major grades

Safe

Notable Items: SCP-590 "Suffering with You", SCP-085 "Painted Man 'Cassy'", SCP-999 "Tickle"

Safe-class SCPs are anomalies that can be easily and safely contained. This is usually due to the fact that the SCP has been studied enough by the Foundation that it does not require significant resources to contain it, or that the anomaly requires a specific and deliberate method of activation or triggering. However, an SCP classified as Safe does not mean that it does not pose a threat when manipulated or activated. For example: a button that can destroy the world, of course, this button has no special properties except for destroying the world, and it will not escape, but the consequences of activating it are very large. So the main level doesn't have much to do with the consequences it can cause.

Certain Safe-class objects are human, humanoid, and/or sentient. In order to prevent injury and/or death to personnel and SCPs, communication with these SCPs must be professional and courteous, and special containment procedures must be considered.

It should be noted that Safe classification does not mean that containment procedures do not need to exist. Many Safe-class objects can be dangerous under certain circumstances. An important difference between Safe and other classifications is that Safe objects can be safely operated with appropriate precautions.

Euclid

Notable Items: SCP-096 "The Shy Man", SCP-173 "Statue - The First Creation", SCP-701 "The Hanged King's Tragedy"

Euclid class SCPs require more resources for full containment, or their containment is not always reliable anomalies. This is usually due to the fact that the SCP is not fully understood or is inherently unpredictable. Euclid is the widest range of object classes, and is usually classified as such, if the SCP cannot be easily classified as other standard object classes.

It is important to note that any autonomous, sentient, and/or intelligent SCP is usually classified as Euclid due to their ability to think or act autonomously and to bring with them inherent unpredictability. [4]

While many Euclid-class objects can be used for the benefit of the Foundation and humanity, their use may result in unpredictable surprises due to their lack of full understanding. Some Euclid-class objects are classified as Safe when fully understood, although most Euclid-class objects remain mysterious after rigorous testing.

Its name is based on the famous mathematician Euclid.



SCP-173 - Little Peanut (Euclid Class)

Keter

Notable Items: SCP-106 "Scary Old Man", SCP-017 "Shadow Fiend", SCP-140 "Unfinished Chronicles"

Keter-class SCPs are anomalies that are extremely difficult to contain consistently or reliably, and containment procedures are often massive and complex. Due to a lack of physical knowledge of anomalies or a lack of technology to properly contain or resist them, the Foundation is often unable to contain these SCPs without a hitch. A Keter-class SCP does not mean that the SCP is dangerous, but simply very difficult or expensive to contain. [4]

Keter-class objects under Foundation custody are rarely destroyed by Foundation personnel. There are three main reasons for this: some projects are difficult to destroy due to the invulnerable nature or similar circumstances; Some projects are retained due to their significant strategic value to the Foundation; Some objects are permanently contained if destroyed, as they could cause greater harm to humanity.

Its name is based on the Sephirot at the very top of the Jewish Kabbalah or Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Crown (Hebrew Kether).



SCP-106 - The Scary Old Man (Keter-class creature)

Thaumiel

Notable Items: SCP-179 "Star Sea Lookout", SCP-2000 "Séance", SCP-2003 "Future Choice"

Thaumiel-class SCPs are anomalies used by the Foundation to contain or counteract other SCPs or anomalous phenomena. The few remaining Thaumiel-class objects are top secret to the Foundation, and their location, function, and status are known only to a small number of Foundation personnel outside of the O5 Council.

Its name is based on the Sephirot counterpart to Kether in the tree of Qliphoth, the twins of God or Double-Headed (Hebrew Thamiel), representing the negativity of Kether.

Neutralized

Notable Items: SCP-1522 "Boat Couple", SCP-3999 "I Am in the Midst of Everything", SCP-1983 "The Gate of the Dead"

Neutralized-class SCPs are neutralized SCPs that have been intentionally or unintentionally destroyed or deactivated to the point where they are no longer anomalous.
