WELCOME TO THE SCP FOUNDATION

Welcome
SCP artifacts pose a significant threat to global security. Various agencies from around the world operate to maintain human independence from extra-terrestrial, extra-dimensional, and extra-universal threat. In the past humankind has been at the whim of these bizarre artifacts and similar phenomena, but we have now reached a point in history where we can begin to control and contain these defiances of natural law.

You are now working for the SCP Foundation. You have no need to understand how or why we operate. What you do need to understand is how vital your mission is.

Our Goals

    Observe preternatural phenomena and develop new theories of science based on their observable behavior.
    Contain potentially dangerous phenomena.
    Develop safety procedures for dealing with all future phenomena.
    Observe, detain, and destroy any one or any thing preventing us from accomplishing the above-stated goals.

    Mankind in its present state has been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance. So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? We huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that we didn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men, and rocks that came to life. So we called them 'gods' and 'demons,' and begged them to spare us and prayed for salvation.

    In time, their numbers dwindled and our numbers rose. The world began to make more sense when there were less things to fear. Yet, the unexplained can never truly go away, as if the universe demands the absurd and impossible.

    Mankind must not go back to hiding in fear. No one else will protect us, we must stand up for ourselves.

    While the rest of mankind dwell in the light, we must stand in the darkness to combat it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane, normal world.

    We secure. We contain. We protect.

Interesting.  What kinds of abnormal tech or supernatural allies would we be looking at?

[Latooni Subota]

Linna, I don't know if I'm impressed, or HORRIFIED, at this idea. Well . . scratch that, I know I'm afraid. @.@

[Gekido]

Mmm this is quite a interesting thing you have here. Count me in, however I would like to see the ideas of the others before offering my own character.

[Caitlin]

I looked up what SCP is about and it sounds like a lot of fun.

I'd like to have some more information about the plot, but this does look like an interesting game. :-)

Distinguishing Marks:

Could you give an example for this one? I'm not really sure in what kind of field those marks should relate to.

[Matthew]

Oooh... I've spent way too many hours poking around the SCP wiki, I'm definatly interested...

[TheHangedOne]

Is playing a Human SCP possible? Nothing as overpowered as Cain, of course.

[Lumasan]

While this massive creepy pasta would make an amazing roleplay it would probably scares the shit out of me. I may be a creeper and watch it go down though. After my excursion with the Slenderman last summer (i read everything slender related and watched all of marble hornets and spent the rest of my summer paranoid out of my mind) I want to stay out of being included in anything freaky. But but but! I would really love to follow this.

[GloomCookie]

If it's found on the SCP Wiki, it can be found in this game.

Linna, I don't know if I'm impressed, or HORRIFIED, at this idea. Well . . scratch that, I know I'm afraid. @.@

You should be.  It's the SCP.

The plot will have you all as agents trying to collect an SCP artifact, one of my choosing to make things fun.

Distinguishing marks include: Tattoos, scars, beauty marks, etc.

Oooh... I've spent way too many hours poking around the SCP wiki, I'm definatly interested...

Then you know what to expect.

Everyone will be playing a human agent sent to collect an SCP together.  You may not survive.

Don't worry about the Slender Man, I'm sure we have him contained somewhere.

SCP Field Agent Application

Name: Halden Amsheim
Age: 31 (November 8, 1980)
Gender: Male
Basic Physical Description:
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Height: 182 centimeter
Weight: 72 kilograms
Body: Athletic
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Blue
Distinguishing Marks: A scar on his right arm, where he was bitten by a turtle.


Psychological Profile:
- Adventurous
- Calculated
- Confident
- Curious nature
- Paranoid
- Smokes cigarettes when he's nervous
Phobias: Cacti, Clowns, Food past its expiration date, Mobile phones with an antenna (without antenna is fine), Turtles.
Religious Beliefs: Atheist
Brief Personal History:
Halden is the descendant of an ancient German bloodline. He was born and raised in Beatrice, Nebraska. As a child, he was an adventurous, inquisitive boy, who wondered what made the world tick. When he was nine years old his mother disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Two locals swore they had seen an alien spaceship abduct her, but no evidence was found to support their claims.

In later life, his adventurous and inquisitive nature urged him to become a biologist, more specifically, an exobiologist, with a minor in microbiology. Due to his drive to leave no stone uncovered, he became an expert in his field and was contacted by Special Agent Fox Mulder from the FBI on more than one occasion.

Special Agent Mulder always told him that “The Truth is out there,” and though Halden presumed his mother to be dead, he had vain hopes that the X Files project could help him uncover the truth. Inspired by Special Agent Mulder, Halden joined the FBI, where he worked as a field agent on his own cases of the X Files.

Recently, Halden learned more details about the SCP Foundation. Throughout the years he had come into contact with their agents on several occasions, and even worked alongside them on one specific case, involving flying turtles, where he gave them detailed notes of his findings. The organization recovered the creatures and left without leaving a trace. At the time Halden hadn't known that it was the SCP Foundation who was involved, since they had led him to believe that they were a capture and retrieve team from the FBI. Intrigued by his recent discoveries, he decided to apply to the SCP Foundation for a job.


Previous Employment: FBI (X Files)
Experience with the Supernatural (if applicable):
Beatrice – Nebraska, January 2, 1990. Halden's mother was abducted by aliens. Apart from two eye-witnesses, no evidence was found to support this claim.
Beatrice – Nebraska, March 9, 1996. Halden witnessed a clown turning into a giant black cockroach, after which it fled into the sewer system. On closer inspection the clown outfit turned out to be a disguise.
Princeton University – New Jersey, September 23, 2000. The mobile phone from a friend became 'alive' while he was calling, and its 'liquid' antenna penetrated his friend's eardrum, killing him in the process.
Desert – Arizona, July 28, 2002. Halden witnessed a cactus vibrate in the desert, after which it shot poisonous needles in all directions. The vibrations stopped after the cactus lost all of its needles.
Beach – Abaco Island, December 1, 2005. While Halden was on vacation on a tropical island, he witnessed a group of turtles spurting wings, after which the carnivorous creatures hunted after men and animals alike.
Lincolnia – Maryland, February 18, 2010. While on an assignment, Halden witnessed four ethereal squirrels rape a pack of rats in an abandoned mansion. No offspring was produced.
Next of Kin:
Father: Henry (June 9, 1948 – Current)
Mother: Samantha (August 4, 1951 – Missing, presumed deceased)
Sister: Rachel (May 28, 1983 – Current)

[Caitlin]

I hope this is okay, I had to do quite a bit of research on SCP, their writing-style and how to create a psychological profile.

At least it should make for an interesting read. :)

[AndyZ]

I didn't realize this was something that already existed.  I'm in too many things right now with stuff that I don't know, so I can't add another and expect to do it justice.  I hope this goes well for everyone, though.

[Caitlin]

Until today I was completely unfamiliar with this as well, but it's pretty straight forward. The cases encountered are entertaining to read about and I don't think it poses a lot of challenge for a seasoned role player to emulate the style of SCP Foundation.

[Lumasan]

If I can manage to keep my paranoia in check (I don't think I'll be reading the wiki thoroughly, and only in the daytime) I MAY give this a try. Still can't decide. How many people are you looking for before you start?

[Caitlin]

I'm really curious to what this game would be like. I hope my application is up to the standards Linna is looking for. :-)

I'm also hoping to see more people interested in this game. One thing I'm curious about though; what kind of SCP's make people paranoid? I only read about 5 of them so far, and though I thought them to be very well done, none were of the level that they made me look over my shoulder. :o

Approximately 4, though more may be included if I want to ramp up the difficulty/nightmare fuel.

Please refer to SCP-426, SCP-914, SCP-087 and SCP-173

FFFFFFFFFFFF SCP-173 is nightmare fuel alone. It's also the basis for the SCP freeware game at the moment. They are working on other cases as well, but I heard of this from my room mate. I'm going to give it a go reading some of the case files tonight, and make a profile because I've decided to be a manly woman. X3

[persephone325]

I friggen' love SCP and it scares the crap out of me. Count me very interested.

[Caitlin]

I'm going to give it a go reading some of the case files tonight, and make a profile because I've decided to be a manly woman. X3

O.o

I read about SCP-173 and I really don't see what's so scary about it... Just don't blink!

I also read about SCP-087 and though I found it originally scary, it merely became interesting as I kept reading. It reminded me of a similar story I once read where a boy and girl where locked up in a similar staircase and they had to keep going down in order to prevent an evil from destroying them. I believe they were locked up in a tessaract. Since their staircase was also desintegrating around them, and since their journey took them several days, 087 was kind of mild compared to all of that. Although they didn't have a faceless face hunting after them, or a crying girl at the bottom.

This will probably be quite the interesting game hehe, my agent might freak my co-workers out more than some of the SCP's we're going to encounter. :P

I'll read about the other two SCP's later today. ^_^

[Question Mark]

I also want to add how much I freaking love SCPs.  Some of them are absolutely brilliant, and most of them make me sit back and really think about it.  It's a brilliant fusion of cold, analytical horror and science thought games.

Also, SCP-914 is my personal favorite.  Throw something in, and see what comes out!  Just don't use it on people.  Or meat.  Or anything alive.   ...or was alive.

[Caitlin]

Aye, I agree, I'd love to do some experimenting with SCP-914 myself. ;D

*Stares at his cup of hot coffee and wonders what will come out on the 1:1 and very fine setting.*

Oh and I also want to insert a car wreckage and use the fine setting on that one. I might just get me a new car that way. XD

[Question Mark]

I've always wanted to try a Rubix cube, or some other simple mechanical device operated by a person, like a bike.  Or throw in a bunch of lumps of isolated elements: an ounce of titanium, an ounce of carbon, and two ounces of hydrogen, and then put it on very fine.  Hmm...

[Caitlin]

Name: Agent Brooks
Date: ██/██/20██
Total Items: One (1) cup of coffee in a ceramic mug

Input: One (1) cup of coffee in a ceramic mug
Setting: Very Fine
Output: A cylinder of roughly equal size to that of the mug. When Agent Brooks approached it, it fired a large arc of energy, hitting him in the face. Agent Brooks was thrown backwards against the far wall, but sustained only superficial injuries. The cylinder was later determined to be made of the same ceramic material as the mug and had no apparent means of generating the energy blast. Notably, Agent Brooks has reported an inability to sleep since the incident, and is beginning to suffer the effects of extended sleep deprivation.

Apparently it doesn't end up being the delicious coffee I envisioned... I suppose it's better to let D-class personnel test the coffee first before I take a sip of it myself.

Aye true, or a battery operated soldier toy. It might end up being an artificial intelligent mini soldier that wants to rule the world! ^_^

I also wonder what happens if we'd insert plants in it, especially carnivorous plants. That could be interesting... ;)

[DeviantMunster]

Name: Laura Stone
Age: 26
Gender: F

Basic Physical Description:
Caucasian Female
5'7"
132 lb
Blonde hair
Green eyes
Distinguishing Marks:
None

Psychological Profile:
-Perceptive
-Calculated
-Curious
-Low Self-Esteem
-Personal
-Has not taken a life
-Inexperienced
Phobias:
Acrophobia

Religious Beliefs: Eastern-Orthodox

Brief Personal History:
Born in NYC in [DATA EXPUNGED]. Of middle-class descent, had a seemingly trauma-free childhood. Moved into a private academy in Manhattan before gaining scholarship to Oxford, UK. Took several linguistic classes and foreign language courses before switching to criminal psychology, eventually going on to major in law. Not long after she joined the FBI as a trainee, eventually becoming a linguist, and finally transferring to the BAU.
Mother died 8 years before when she was 18. Laura's relationship with her father is intimate and healthy. Dated a James Morrison "on and off" for 8 months before finally being broken off by incident with SCP-829.
Believed to be of healthy state of mind, but yet inexperienced with life and possibly naive, despite work with the FBI.

Previous Employment:
FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) - Dealt in crimes relating to serial murders, kidnappings, serial rapes, and single murders. Shown surprising ability at "getting inside" the mind of a criminal.

Experience with the Supernatural (if applicable):
Exposed to SCP-829 for a brief period of five (5) days. Exhibited signs of contamination while engaging in activities with current partner, James Morrison. SCP Foundation only learned of exposure after-the-fact, SCP-829 having been disposed of in trash on the sixth (6th) day. When investigated, relationship was seemingly broken off and Mrs. Stone had of her free will stopped application of substance to nails. Apparently acquired from [DATA EXPUNGED]. Investigating further.

Next of Kin:
Mother - Elizabeth Stone - Deceased
Father - Isaac Stone - Alive

[Caitlin]

Is this still going to happen? It's been 3 days now since the latest update from Linna. Currently I'm keeping a spot open in my schedule for this game, but more information about if/ when it'll take place would be appreciated. I'd really like to join a group game again, but I can only afford one in my schedule. If this game won't be happening I'd like to know about it so I can join something else instead.

[DeviantMunster]

I believe it is. I asked her a question, which she answered, not a day ago.

Linna's a lord :p

Or so he wants us to think. -grins wickedly-

Either way, I'm glad to hear that this hopefully won't die due to inactivity. I had that happening a little bit too often lately and it grows old quick. ;)

Then again, the vacation period likely also had something to do with that. Now that most people are returning from their vacations the stories will likely pick up again too. ^_^

I'm here hun just waiting for more people to show interest.  I guess I could put some more info but that requires thinking.

The game will take place in a fairly modern world like we know and love.  Every agent has been recruited and is part of Mobile Response Team Gamma, assigned to monitor and try to intercept SCPs, deal with rival organizations and handle public relations and make Foundation activities 'disappear'.  Most will be assigned to the American Midwest and Southeast, and will more than likely travel far away from major areas of civilization.  They will be responsible for taking any actions necessary to keep Foundation activities a secret and secure SCPs, up to and including annihilation of local population centers*.  The objective of MTF Gamma is to do whatever is necessary to achieve the objectives, regardless of cost or collateral damage.

*Population Centers of 10,000 individuals or less

Pretty much your job is to do whatever you need to do to ensure that your objective is accomplished.  You may face safe or euclid objects, but expect to deal with Keter objects that are extremely dangerous.  You'll also occasionally deal with organizations hostile to the Foundation and will need to cover up your activities.  I'll leave that up to you, but you can pretty much expect to deal with stuff that'll make you question what's what in our messed up universe.

[Caitlin]

Hmm... Midwest... It makes me wonder if there is a sentient man-eating cornfield somewhere out there.

[Question Mark]

Maybe a cowboy hat that possesses the wearer with murderous intent?

[GloomCookie]

I'm getting neat ideas now XD

[Caitlin]

If you need SCP related ideas, feel free to contact me at any time lol. My mind is... Well, fucked up. I always get the craziest ideas and I'm even considering to add some SCP's to the actual files. :-p

To stick to the mid west theme, how about a hungry hyperactive pony with 8 legs and bloodshot eyes, that has a taste for human finger nails and isn't too picky about how he eats them? That ought to be pretty creepy. :p

I'm not sure if I should call it a catterpilar pony or a spider pony though. ;)

Another good one could be a hankerchief that tries to choke you whenever you blow your nose. It just sucks itself to your face and refuses to let go, not letting you breath.

Or a murderous TomTom device, that picks a route that will certainly get you killed. Some call it a bug, others call it intent... -grins-

There is lots of other stuff that we can do with every day devices too.

[Cold Heritage]

I want to be cool like Agent Lament and Agent Dodridge. :(

[Question Mark]

What about something a little less harmful, like a ranch house which is twice the size on the inside than it is on the outside, and is steadily growing.

Or sentient crop circles: symbols that appear in corn fields with alarming regularity, and can vanish and re-appear within seconds?

[Caitlin]

Or... Trees that stand still and do nothing special, except that they give you a creepy feeling as if they're trying to sneak up on you. It'd be especially cool if that tree would 'follow' you around, by appearing at places you go to and look over your shoulder, where it simply stands there... Doing nothing. Mwahaha. (Such a tree would be perfect for my paranoid character lol, I can already picture him running to the tree and yell at it out of frustration, anger and fear.)

[Question Mark]

Wait...  Is your character Durkon Thundershield?

It all makes sense now.

[Caitlin]

Lol, no he's not exactly a dwarf, but he is very paranoid. ^_^

I'll do my best to add some humour into the game as well. Humour and horror, it's such a lovely combination. ;)

[GloomCookie]

We have two agents so far and if interested, I can start the game with just two, but I'd rather aim for about four characters to make sure we have a rounded, diverse group of agents.  I'll let you guys be the judges of that.

[Caitlin]

Two? I think you mean three, I'm counting myself, QuestionMark and DeviantMunster. At least, us three filled in an application. The way you wrote it in the sign up I had the impression that we had to fill in a template like a ciriculum vitae and apply for a job at SCP.

One more would be nice to have though!

[GloomCookie]

*facepalm* Three.  Ok I'll post a thread tomorrow.

[Question Mark]

*facepalm* Three.  Ok I'll post a thread tomorrow.

WOOHOO!!

[GloomCookie]

Ok guys, thread is located here and I added a 4th member of the cast XD

Name: Walton the Cat (SCP-2001)
Age: ~60
Gender: Male
Basic Physical Description: A small grey and white domestic housecat with typical striping along his back and tail.  Often wears a red bow tie.
Distinguishing Marks: N/A

Psychological Profile: Forthcoming and honest, Walton prefers observing his surroundings and has gained a healthy respect for humans both for their greater strength but also for their ability to reason when the need arises.  He is generally trusting of people once he gets to know them and feels safe around them, but has been known to hold grudges.
Phobias: Claustrophobia
Religious Beliefs: Non-Aligned Christian
Brief Personal History: Walter was born sometime in 1940, though whether he saw any of WWII is unknown.  At the time he was an ordinary feline and possessed no intelligence beyond normal.  It was around 1951 that Walton was, from his personal accounts, awoken.  He remembered a strange setup that began testing him and made him evolve higher brain functions.  He doesn't remember who or why this happened, only that he was shortly after discarded and left to roam the streets of London.

He came to the notice of the SCP in 2001 when rumors floated in to the SCP office in London of a feline for sale by a street bum that could, reportedly, talk.  The agents went and took the cat, causing amnesia in the man and leaving it at that.  Walton reacted to this by biding his time before trying to escape, faking the tests until he could manipulate the locks and be let out.  He'd nearly escaped when he was apprehended, and it became aware he was very intelligent when he began to swear at the agents.

Because of Walton's safe nature and tendency to break out of locked areas, he has been granted status as an SCP agent, though he now also possesses a GPS tracking chip due to his nature as an SCP as well, due to the Foundation being unable to identify how or why he became intelligent.  In 2012, Walton asked for a transfer to the US offices, and an opening was available in the Midwest and Southeastern mobile task force Gamma.

Previous Employment: N/A
Experience with the Supernatural (if applicable): Is currently an SCP due to possible exposure to an as-yet identified SCP.
Next of Kin: Countless normal kittens from almost 50 years of unrestrained mating throughout London.

[Caitlin]

Without the tie and with gold coloured eyes he'd look just like my own cat. ;D

[GloomCookie]

This is actually Walton's second appearance.  He showed up in another paranormal RP I was running but it dropped out so I'm hoping Walton can lend more adorableness to the game.

[GloomCookie]

Check the first post for handy links.  NPC bios will be located there if they'll be a recurring feature.

[Wintercat]

Looks like a fun idea, a fan of SCP and definitely finding this interesting. Do you mind if I follow along to read the tale as it goes? Might be interested to play, but I've felt myself jinxing a couple games in the past (then again, summer did bring some slow season to games anyway) so I figure I'd only watch in this case.

Just checking for permission first.
