SCP OC Maker & Creator

Safe means reliable containment is comparatively straightforward; it does not promise harmlessness. Euclid covers uncertainty or behavior that makes containment less dependable. Keter means maintaining containment is especially difficult or resource-intensive, not that the character wins every fight. For your own draft, connect the class to a specific practical problem. A change in lighting might matter more than the character's size. Write what staff can observe, what they can control and what remains uncertain. If the class feels decorative, return to the behavior before adding stronger effects. This page offers planning prompts, not an automated ruling on what class a finished article deserves.

Thaumiel identifies an anomaly used to help contain other anomalies. Neutralized means the anomalous properties have ceased. Neither is a personality type. Explained is different again: an apparent anomaly has an ordinary explanation. These distinctions can support a quiet story about evidence, maintenance or changing assumptions. Do not select Thaumiel merely because a character is helpful, and do not keep active supernatural effects in a Neutralized present-day description. A former effect can belong in a clearly marked historical note. For staff portraits, omit these labels from the person and keep them attached to the relevant file.

Archon concerns deliberate noncontainment; Cernunnos concerns logistical or ethical barriers to full containment. Ticonderoga is neither containable nor in need of containment. Argus places trusted containment with another organization. Apollyon signals an uncontainable crisis, not a stylish upgrade. Pending and Uncontained describe unresolved classification or containment status. The wiki also has many article-specific esoteric classes. Use their context rather than treating every unfamiliar word as a universal rank. In a personal draft, write why the ordinary choices fail before choosing a special label. A calm observational scene can discuss uncertainty without depicting catastrophe.

Researchers investigate observations; containment specialists help design and maintain procedures; field agents handle work outside the site; site staff keep records, equipment and everyday operations functioning. Those are useful broad roles, not a single rigid career chart shared by every story. Choose an ordinary skill that affects how your person responds to the anomaly. Lyra separates evidence from guesses, while Orin asks whether an enclosure can be maintained by the next shift. Give them colleagues and limits to their knowledge. Avoid borrowing a famous doctor's name, visual signature or reputation. No official badge or logo is needed to communicate a careful scientific workplace.

The familiar file structure pairs an item designation and class with containment procedures and a description. Our editor keeps four compact sections so you can see whether they agree. Write the effect in a sentence that another observer could check, then make each procedure answer a part of that effect. If a paper creature moves loose sheets, closed trays are more relevant than a dramatic wall of unexplained security equipment. Describe one failure condition and one uncertainty. Keep the nickname separate from the designation. SCP-XXXX is a private draft placeholder here, not an available number reserved on the wiki.

The SCP setting includes organizations beyond the Foundation, with different aims and approaches to anomalies. The Groups of Interest hub is the place to check a group before using it in a story. Do not assume every group is a Foundation department or a simple villain faction. A fan staff OC can disagree with another organization without being secretly in charge of it. Start with a small interaction, such as a disputed record or a request to observe an object. Label any invented group as your own. The page does not assign a canon affiliation automatically, and the art avoids all official emblems.
