What is SCP?
SCP refers to the fictional universe called the SCP Foundation. It is a collaborative internet writing project where people create stories about strange objects, creatures, and phenomena that break the laws of normal science.
The name SCP stands for:
Secure – Find and capture anomalous objects or entities.
Contain – Keep them locked away so they cannot harm the public.
Protect – Protect humanity from these anomalies and keep them secret.

What is The SCP Foundation?
In the universe of SCP, the Foundation is a secret global organization that operates outside normal governments.
Its job is to:
Locate supernatural or anomalous things Contain them in special facilities Study them scientifically Prevent the public from discovering them
Examples of anomalies they contain include: Objects that break physics, Immortal creatures, Reality-altering entities, Dangerous supernatural artifacts
============
SCP Object Classes:
Safe
A Safe-class SCP is an anomaly that can be contained easily and reliably with the correct procedures. As long as the containment rules are followed, it will not escape or cause problems. However, Safe does not mean harmless, because a Safe SCP can still be dangerous if someone interacts with it incorrectly.
Euclid
A Euclid-class SCP is an anomaly that is unpredictable or not completely understood, which makes containment more complicated. These SCPs may move, think, or behave differently over time, so the Foundation cannot always guarantee perfect containment.
Keter
A Keter-class SCP is an anomaly that is extremely difficult to contain or constantly attempts to escape containment. These SCPs usually require complex facilities, constant monitoring, and large resources to keep under control.
Neutralized
A Neutralized SCP is an anomaly that no longer exists or has lost its anomalous properties. This can happen if the SCP is destroyed, dies, or stops showing any abnormal behavior.
Explained
An Explained SCP is something that was once believed to be anomalous but was later understood through normal science or investigation. Because it is no longer mysterious, it does not require containment.
Thaumiel
A Thaumiel-class SCP is an anomaly that the Foundation uses to help contain other SCPs. These objects or entities are usually extremely valuable to the Foundation and are often highly classified.
Apollyon
An Apollyon-class SCP is an anomaly that cannot be contained at all and is often connected to an inevitable catastrophic event. The Foundation can only observe or delay the effects rather than truly contain it.
Archon
An Archon-class SCP is an anomaly that could technically be contained, but the Foundation chooses not to contain it because doing so would cause greater harm or disruption to the world.

SCPs Classification according to MC System
Minor Anomaly-Class
Minor-Class anomalies are phenomena that exhibit small deviations from normal physical laws but pose little to no threat to reality or human safety. Their effects are typically localized, limited in scale, and easily manageable with basic containment measures. While unusual, these anomalies rarely demonstrate complex behavior or independent influence over their surroundings.
Stable Anomaly-Class
Stable-Class anomalies possess consistent anomalous properties that follow a predictable pattern. Although their abilities may exceed normal physics, their behavior remains stable enough that containment and observation can be maintained without significant risk of escalation. These anomalies rarely evolve or change their capabilities over time.
Hazard-Class
Hazard-Class anomalies possess abilities capable of causing significant harm to individuals, environments, or localized regions. Their anomalous properties often demonstrate destructive potential or dangerous side effects that require careful monitoring and specialized containment procedures. If left unmanaged, these anomalies could result in serious casualties or structural damage.
Authority-Class
Authority-Class anomalies possess influence over large systems such as ecosystems, populations, conceptual phenomena, or other anomalous entities. Their abilities often extend beyond direct physical effects and may include control, manipulation, or domination over complex structures or forces. These anomalies represent a major strategic threat due to the scale of their influence.
Apollyon-Class
Apollyon-Class anomalies represent phenomena whose scale or power exceeds the limits of conventional containment. Their existence may threaten civilizations, planetary systems, or the stability of reality itself. At this level, containment is either impossible or temporary, and most efforts are focused on mitigation, observation, or delaying catastrophic consequences.
Paradox-Class
Paradox-Class entities exist beyond conventional logic, causality, and fundamental rules governing reality. Their existence may contradict known laws of physics, temporal order, or conceptual consistency. These anomalies often demonstrate properties that cannot be fully understood or modeled by any existing scientific framework.
Unclassifiable-Class
Unclassifiable anomalies cannot be accurately categorized within existing classification frameworks due to incomplete data, unstable properties, or constantly shifting anomalous behavior. Their nature may change over time, defying consistent observation or measurement, making definitive classification impossible.
HAX-Class
HAX-Class anomalies are entities or phenomena capable of bypassing or overriding conventional limitations of reality, causality, or containment logic. Their abilities often ignore established physical or conceptual rules, allowing them to manipulate outcomes, negate defenses, or alter fundamental systems governing existence.
Most anomalies in this class are higher-dimensional entities or special narrative-level phenomena whose influence extends beyond normal space, time, or universal structures. Because their abilities operate outside conventional frameworks, standard containment methods are usually ineffective.
