In a rat-proof, rain-proof dug-out (and it's splinter-proof as well)
Where we got the stuff to build it is a thing I mustn't tell,
But we've made it strong and solid, and we're cosy, rain or shine,
In our happy little dug-out on the firing line.
— Edgar W. McInnis
Welcome to Site-43! We're different.
Looking for scary monsters in solid boxes? This place isn't for you. Looking to feed people into a meat grinder? You'll have better luck at Site-19. Looking for a relaxed backwater full of eccentric academics, and a chance to try out some crazier containment techniques? Come see what we get up to down below.

There's a few things you need to know before you get settled in. First of all, have you got any reflective objects on your person? Anything made of glass, or clear plastic? We're gonna have to confiscate those. No, they should have told you before you arrived. See, there's a mirror monster loose in the compound, and the best part is, that's intentional.
It might take you some time to get used to this place. Why not ride the Inter-Sectional Subway System and check out Intake Point Nine-Four, in the middle of Lake Huron? It's all glassed-in, and it's quite a view. Maybe you'll spot one of the underwater panthers that are loose on the lakebed! That's also intentional.
We handle containment differently at Site-43. We have to, because we can't actually take on more super-dangerous anomalies. We've still got quite a few, but they're the ones we can't move. After the annual magic gunk refinery explosions started happening, we…
Hey! Where are you going?
I'm glad you decided to stay. I have some stories to tell you about this place, and the people who work here, and the people who don't work here anymore. We keep a lot of secrets down here in the dark.
Right now, there's two things dominating most of our time. On the one hand, we're fighting a shadow war with an ancient Austrian memeticist society (no, seriously). On the other hand, we're trying to catch a less-ancient American memeticist corporation (yes, seriously). Of course there's a lot more than that going on; it's a big, weird Site. Maybe you'll bring us some new stories. Maybe they won't even be about memes. Please, let them not be about memes.

Phase One:
Adventures in Acroamatic Abatement

SCP-5056: The Constant Companions
by HarryBlank
Yeah, let's start with this one. It's a good introduction to the way things work in this place. Okay, so there's this janitor, and his visible friend, right? They're gonna die of old age here.

SCP-5056 Experiment and Incident Reports
by HarryBlank
Hey, that's the Site Director! He's been the Site Director for more than twenty years, minus a two-week period where… hahaha, oh man, funny story. Okay, maybe not funny, but…

SCP-5109: The One-Time Password
by HarryBlank
We don't talk about this one much anymore. It looked like it was gonna be the Next Big Thing, but then there was that unfortunate business with the bombs, and… well.

SCP-5243: The Breach that Keeps On Breaching
by HarryBlank
Ugh, is it that time of year again? Go into your room, lock the door, and if you hear explosions, don't worry about it. They're old explosions.

The Significant Others, Part "A"
by HarryBlank
So, you remember the mirror monster? About that mirror monster…

The Significant Others, Part "B"
by HarryBlank
I hope things turn out well for the janitor, he's a pretty swell dude.
Phase Two:
The Past is a Foreign Element

SCP-5382: The Cure, and What Ails You
by HarryBlank
You want to hear about how this place got started? Oh, sure, it's an interesting story. A long, interesting story. A long interesting story about a textually-transmitted disease and the pseudoscience ads that have cured it for four hundred years. Do I have your attention yet?

SCP-5494: The Lords of the Beneath World
by HarryBlank
How about those underwater panthers, eh? Can you believe it, they actually tried to capture them back when they were building the Site. Hahaha. Boy, that turned out well.

SCP-5520: The Rabbit Hole
by HarryBlank
Come here for a second. You see that door? That one, right there? Don't ever open that door. Why? Because it leads to a gigantic ravine and a gigantic underground factory. They say it's haunted. And then they get amnesticized, because it's SECRET haunted!
Phase Three:
Atypical Containment

The B&B Decommission
by HarryBlank
Have you met Dr. Blank and Dr. Bradbury? They used to be quite the team, back in the day. They're quite the team again, thanks to what happened during that whole General Bowe disaster. You didn't hear about that? It's a great object lesson in why our way works.

Secure Facility Dossier: Site-43
by HarryBlank
I think you're ready for the big picture. It's got lots of small pictures in it, if you get bored.

Dead Dogs, Magic Mounties
by HarryBlank
Are you a history buff? Yeah, not a lot of people are. But the history of this place is truly wacko, so I think it's worth taking a dive into. Just don't breathe too deep.

Everything You Need to Know About Acroamatic Abatement But Were Too Confused by the Name to Ask
by HarryBlank
Don't believe the title. You're not gonna learn how to break down esoteric effluence by reading this. You might just learn how to become a better researcher, though.
Phase Four:
Back to the Present

SCP-5618: The Dead End
by HarryBlank
So, keep this under your hat, but we might be in an alternate reality. Yeah, it's 5243's fault. Yeah, a lot of things are, around here.

SCP-5751: The Last Word
by HarryBlank
I've decided I'm never going to die. When you die, all the awful shit you deleted comes back to haunt you in CD-ROM form. Not even joking. There's a file on it and everything.

SCP-5866: The Namesnake
by HarryBlank
Have you seen Dr. Corbin lately? She seems really down; Theology and Teleology is a depressing field. I hear they're getting some cool new bones, maybe that'll cheer her up.

The Huron Carol
by HarryBlank
It's that time of year again. Apparently. It's hard to tell when you're stuck underground, surrounded by sick people. Merry whatever! Keep your distance, please.
Phase Five:
Around the World in Sixteen Tales
(And Two SCPs)

The Time After Time Password [Ongoing!]
by HarryBlank
This place doesn't exist in a vacuum. There's a whole world of Sites out there! And we saved their asses. It's classified as all hell, but that's the short version. There is a long version.

SCP-5956: THEREISNOCANNON
by Placeholder McD and
HarryBlank
So "magic explosions happen here annually" is the short version. "Magic timeline shenanigans happen here often" is the longer version. The longest version is also… really upsetting.

SCP-5756: The Constant Reminder
It's really sad, what happened to Dr. Deering… but don't tell his brother. It's really sad what happened to him, too. They have that in common; it's basically the only thing they share.
Phase Six:
The Past is a Foreign Country…

The Good Work
by HarryBlank
People say this place was founded by two men who were very close, for a very long time. People say a lot of things about those two; they're the only ones who really knew the truth.

Graduation, Part 1 of 2: Dissertation
by HarryBlank
Have you ever wondered how someone comes to work at the Foundation? No, of course not, you do work at the Foundation! Well, I bet everyone else wonders. At least a little bit.

Graduation, Part 2 of 2: Defence
by HarryBlank
What was your first anomaly? Did you stumble on it in the wild, or did you get to see it behind glass, where it couldn't hurt you? Did you take a chance, and risk it all?

SCP-5054-EX: The Memetic Myth of Joe Who?
by HarryBlank
Not many people who work here are remembered once they're gone. Conversely, not many people who don't work here are forgotten. Sometimes these things dovetail.

SCP-5162: The Weight
by HarryBlank
Everybody who works here has a story. Some of them are funny, most of them are sad, a few of them are scary, but very few are boring. Some of them are harder to classify.
Phase Seven:
…They Do Things Differently There

SCP-5238: The Ship of Dreams
by HarryBlank
Not many people bring a bona-fide anomaly with them to the Foundation when they're hired. That's, like, a reverse signing bonus! Anyway, ask Dr. Blank about ocean liners.

SCP-5295: The Person-to-Personal Computer
by HarryBlank
People working in IT have it rough, so it's no wonder some of them snap under the pressure. Chief Marroquin, though, he snapped in style — 1990s Apple Macintosh style.

SCP-5281-D: The Man of the Hour
by HarryBlank
There's no D-class at Site-43, and we treat our humanoids well. Even we have our limits, however, and wouldn't you know it? Child cannibalism is one of them.

SCP-5379: The Taped Confession
by HarryBlank
VKTM takes up a lot of our time here; we've hired a lot of researchers for their file. Dr. McInnis seems to have a special interest, even though he isn't project head… wonder why.
Phase Eight:
You Have to Laugh

SCP-5734: The Unverb
by ihp does not match any existing user name
We do a lot of memetics work at 43, and there's a reason for that: we're in a slow-burning war with the original memeticists. Watch your language around them, or you might lose it.

SCP-5416: The Lever
by HarryBlank
We've been finding a ton of these weird little objects that do big, terrible things lately. Sometimes we figure them out. Sometimes that's good. It wasn't, in this case.

SCP-5524: The Insatiable Semantic
by HarryBlank
Ever meet somebody with a stupid name? No, I mean a stupid name. No, I mean a really, really, really stupid name. Yes. No! Alright, you're not getting it. Here's what I mean.

The Lamest Story Never Told
by ihp does not match any existing user name
Not everyone has a story, if you ask me. Take Dr. Wettle. Please. Hahaha! But seriously, there's no explanation for why he is the way he is except personal failings. There can't be.

SCP-5616: The Woman in the Incinerator
by HarryBlank
Have you met Dr. Reynders? She's the easiest person in the entire Site to meet. She has no schedule, and she's always in the same place. Always. Since nineteen-forty-three.
Phase Nine:
It's Later Than You Think

SCP-6500: Inevitable
by Aethris,
DarkStuff,
Grigori Karpin,
HarryBlank,
ihp does not match any existing user name, Placeholder McD,
S D Locke
What would our world be like if all the strange, wonderful, horrible things were gone? We might be about to find out. Is it possible we've been doing things wrong this whole time?

SCP-5056 Audio Transcripts
by HarryBlank
Wow, seems like only yesterday I was introducing you to Phil and his mirror monster. Time flies when you're having fun, eh? Time hasn't flown for Phil very often.

SCP-5056: The Mirror Image
by HarryBlank
A lot has happened in the past year, and it's trickled all the way down to everyone's favourite sad-sack janitor. I think perhaps it's time to look back on what we've accomplished.

SCP-5729: The Ghost in the Shed
by HarryBlank
We all have strange childhood memories. Oh! That reminds me. You are required to report all strange childhood memories to the Spectrometry and Spectremetry Section ASAP.

SCP-5883: The Flip Side
by HarryBlank
If you've noticed anybody acting kinda weird lately, you should tell Dr. Lillihammer. Okay, I know, everyone here is already weird, but. I mean really weird. Like, Australian weird.
Phase Ten:
Edge Cases

SCP-6056: The Crumpening
by HarryBlank
Explosions are not a rarity at this Site. The thing is, we've gotten used to our explosions. Our explosions are scheduled. We do not approve of unscheduled explosions at this Site.

SCP-5243 Video Transcripts
by Placeholder McD and
HarryBlank
Perhaps I should have clarified earlier. We don't approve of anything unscheduled in our regularly-scheduled magical meltdowns. Poor Dr. Wettle… and poor Dr. Zlatá?

CODE NAME: Pickman/Blank - The Frontispiece
by ihp does not match any existing user name and HarryBlank
Lake Huron Supply, Control, and Purification. S&C Plastics. How do we dare to be so overt? And what kind of a name is "The Secure, Contain, Protect Foundation" anyway? There's got to be something deeper going on. There's got to be a story here.


SCP-5889: AMnestic
by Dysadron and
Grigori Karpin
Who says there's nothing good on the radio these days?

SCP-5904: Inhuman Resources
ALL-SECTIONS STAFF MEETING MINUTES [EXCERPT]
The next agenda item was SCP-5904, a set of memetic videotapes. Dr. Wettle was selected as lead researcher after remarking, without prompting, that he still owned a VHS player.

SCP-5897: History is Written by the VKTM
This ain't your daddy's history. Or your mommy's. Or maybe anybody's?

SCP-5379: The Taped Confession
by HarryBlank
VKTM takes up a lot of our time here; we've hired a lot of researchers for their file. Dr. McInnis seems to have a special interest, even though he isn't project head… wonder why.

SCP-5479: A Movie of You
We don't have D-Class at 43, but we're an outlier. They do have D-Class at 19, tons of them in fact, and VKTM noticed; this is what they did about it. Poor Dr. Whatserface.

SCP-5681: Gehenna Arcade
by Grigori Karpin and
Vivarium
VKTM is really branching out. Did you see the pilot for their game show? Someone needs to explain to them that the "game" part doesn't mean "animals kept for hunting purposes."

SCP-5417: 'Cize Up!: A Vikander-Kneed Technical Media Program
by PlaguePJP
These tapes are so much fun. First we get to find out what horrible thing they commited to film; then we get to find out what horrible thing it does to us. Every day is Christmas.

SCP-5698: Economic Migration
Ever feel like Groups of Interest exist to make our lives morally complicated? Half the time VKTM leaves me going "haha fuck yeah!" and half the time my lifespan is shortened.

A Culinary Broadcast
by FluffyDog00
What's more American than Thanksgiving? The closing ranks. The sharpened knives. The carving-up. The sheer consumption. Taking what you don't need! Taking it all.

SCP-5358: Vlorschidia
by winkwonkboi
You ever see one of those travel documentaries where it's almost like the documentarians got bored with real countries, and made up a fake one? No, you haven't. Not like this.

SCP-6123: VKTM Presents: Media And You
I used to think I wanted to know what made these people tick, what goes on in their weird alien brains. And then I found out. The goodie bags had better be worth it…

SCP-5974: The Interactive Fiction
by HarryBlank
There's a reason we don't cross-test anomalies: the results are unpredictable. There's a reason we wish anomalous media companies wouldn't cross-pollinate: this is that reason.

Site-15's Director gets a tad too curious about a hazardous semantic anomaly and falls into a web of self-abstracting logical truths. Don't ask who wove it. Seriously, don't.
Season One:
Monomythology

PLACEHOLDER
The pataphysicist supreme hears a call to adventure from across an interstellar gulf. Will he be the hero of this journey, and if so: what will he find, and how will he change?

BLANK
If Placeholder McDoctorate is going to explore the storyhole, he'll need a crew. Preferably a crew with unrealized narrative potential; a blank slate, if you will. You will! It is written.

CAST
McDoctorate and Blank are committed, but the Placeholder Exploratory Engine still needs its archetypical complement filled out. Place has a list; time for a secondary character harvest.

SCP-CASH4D-J: The People Person
by HarryBlank
Things sure have changed. Used to be they didn't think twice about feeding human beings into geometric meat grinders. Why'd they stop? Well, there's this underground urban legend…

SCP-5977: The Load-Bearing Members
by HarryBlank
Have you been to Toronto? Used the subway? There's some leftover anomalous shit in Museum Station. Okay, they say it's safe and all, but a load-bearing sculpture appears out of nowhere? You can't tell me that's normal. Even for us, that isn't normal.

SCP-5583: Skippy the Unicorn Has Had Enough of Your Shit
by Nickthebrick1 and
HarryBlank
Ever thought it would be fun to hang out in a party restaraunt after dark? It isn't. Ever thought party restaurant animatronics are nightmarish? You shouldn't, unless you are one.

SCP-5486: Conjunction Immemorial
by Grigori Karpin and
PlaguePJP
Do you have any idea how nightmarish this world is? When you see the monsters arrayed against us, when you have to find a way to fight them… never mind, we got this. Let's roll.

Danimals
by HarryBlank
Have you noticed that a lot of Foundation researchers and Persons of Interest are named Dan-something? Someone else seems to have noticed, and here's what they did about it.

SCP-5488: Ratings That Stick
by Nickthebrick1 and
HarryBlank
Anomalous media is getting thoroughly out of hand. What's next? Slipcases that restore deleted scenes? Commercials that make you buy stuff? Rating stickers that change content?

It's real I swear
by HarryBlank
Parawatch is kind of a problem for us. No, not like that; they're easy to silence, and they're not great at digging stuff up. They are a magnet for anomalous awfulness, however.

SCP-6069: Cupid's Angels
Have you ever felt like all the love has gone out of the world? Whenabouts was that? When you felt it, yeah? No, I need to know the exact date. For the report.

One Spark, Four Flames
by Ralliston
What do you get when you cross a deer god, a Polish mage, two American mages, a Canadian theologist, and the storybook world of Sloth's Pit? Fire. You get fire.

SCP-6622: Beaver Power
"Canada? What have they got, anomalous maple syrup mooses?" No. First, the plural of "moose" is "moose." Second, what we've got is anomalous hydroelectric beavers.

The Martinet Effect
by HarryBlank
Dr. LeBlanc has been hanging out with Dr. Wettle for a long time, now. That can't be healthy for him. But maybe, just maybe, it can be healthy for Dr. Wettle…

SCP-6029: Cracked
There's always been a divide between the Global Occult Coalition and the SCP Foundation; our ideologies and approaches are incompatible. What could bridge that gap?
It may look a little crowded, and the roof's a trifle low,
But it's water-tight — or nearly — and it wasn't built for show,
And when Woolly Bears are crumping and the shrapnel sprays around,
You feel a whole lot safer if you're underneath the ground.
— Edgar W. McInnis

Oh! Canada.

On Guard 43 is a canon centred around Site-43 in Ontario, Canada. It began as one set of interlinked tales and SCPs, but has since branched out to become more of a general setting. There are now three distinct "series" being written in On Guard 43:
- Words of Power and Poison,
HarryBlank's stories about Site-43's struggles against implacable, immemorial meme-wielding enemies;
- Vikander-Kneed Technical Media, chronicling the antics of a terrifying, dangerous, and often darkly hilarious memetic media corporation created by
Grigori Karpin;
- Archetypicals,
Placeholder McD's prestige drama about secondary characters answering a call to adventure from deep in interstellar/narrative space.
Want to write for this canon? You don't have to use the established characters — but you can! You don't have to contribute to existing storylines — but you can! (Except Archetypicals, that's self-contained.) You don't even need to write about Site-43 itself — though you can — as long as you're using some of the elements outlined in the next tab. You should think of this place as a set of storytelling tools. We've got a detailed, well-defined Site, a big ol' cast you can bend to your whims, and a generalized Canadian-ness that should satisfy your entirely inappropriate need to, say, create an actual Canadian branch.
This is a canon about real people in absurd situations. Click onward if that appeals to you at all.
Protecting the Peaceable Kingdom
SCP Foundation Lake Huron Research and Containment Site-43 is the long name of the largest Foundation facility in Canada. Site-43 has three specialities: the abatement of toxic materials generated by anomalous subjects in containment; the discovery of anomalous subjects attested in the historical record but not yet contained; and the preservation of consensus normalcy in the face of persistent memetic attacks from several distinct Groups of Interest.

Canada is a Foundation backwater, so Site-43 is set up differently from most other R&C facilities. Personnel are organized into pseudoacademic Sections and encouraged to engage in long-term collaborative research projects. Containment procedures are more creative than the norm; the intensity of supernatural activity in the Great Lakes region makes putting everything in boxes impractical, so more esoteric solutions are devised. Containment breaches are rare, D-class are nonexistent, and the sense of camaraderie is strong. People live at 43, and they don't all hate it.
One major focus of research is the ancient Austrian secret societies known as the schriftsteller and giftschreiber, memeticists focused on upholding or undermining the cause of universal order. For reasons as yet unknown, the giftschreiber have been conducting a sustained campaign against the Canadian government and Site-43 since the late 1960s. A good primer article is SCP-5054-EX.
Site-43 is also the centre of containment efforts for GoI-5889, Vikander-Kneed Technical Media. Absolutely nothing is known about the origins or motivations of this group, but their effect on the wider American media landscape is all too clear. VKTM produces media which drives people insane, picks away at their insecurities, pokes fun at their failings, and generally unsettles people to unclear ends. What's more, they seem all too aware that 43 is on their case. A good primer article is SCP-5889.
Time Periods: There are three main time periods covered by this canon, roughly defined:
- The Past — From the introduction of the giftschreiber in the seventeenth century, through the foundation of Provisional Site-43 in the 1940s, to the retirement and death of its first director in 1997;
- The Present — From the 1990s, when the present main cast began working at 43, to a floating period one or two years from our real-world moment;
- The Future — the 2030s, wherein Archetypicals takes place.
Crossovers — On Guard 43 considers every canon that doesn't contradict most other canons to be… canon. If it doesn't shoot the setting into space, or break the Veil with kaiju, or say the Foundation never existed, it probably happened. That doesn't mean On Guard 43 exists in all those other universes; it doesn't need to work both ways. Crossing over with other canons is encouraged!
S&C Plastics in particular is a great fit. In fact, S&C Plastics is hard canon for On Guard 43. If you don't like Site-87, Site-43 probably isn't going to be for you.
Elements of Resurrection are hard canon. ETTRA, introduced in the Old Foes splinter, is a major component of Words of Power and Poison. As the New Faces splinter is hard canon to Old Foes, the whole kit and caboodle definitely happened in the context of On Guard 43.
AIAD, by virtue of the Limited Memory series which features Placeholder McDoctorate, is also hard canon.
Dramatis Personae
Site-43 Personnel (Active)
All-Sections Chief | Chief, Nexus Affairs Section |
---|---|
Mohawk warrior from the Kettle Point Reservation of Nexus-94. Cool, collected, a consummate professional. The primary link between the Site's Sections, and the communities surrounding it. | |
Blank, Dr. Harold Robert | Chair, Archives and Revision Section |
Historian specializing in the discovery of anomalous objects attested in literary sources. Grouchy, sarcastic, fills all available space with snark. Good heart, poor grooming. Best friends with Dr. Lillihammer. Romantically linked with research partner Dr. Bradbury. | |
Bradbury, Dr. Melissa | Chair, Research and Experimentation Section |
Site-43's chief generalist. Took an eighteen-year leave of absence after suffering a traumatic attack by SCP-5056. Much stronger than that makes her sound; most victims claw their eyes out. Romantically linked with Dr. Blank. | |
Deering, Philip Eugene | Technician JM64, Janitorial and Maintenance Section |
Career janitor. No ambition, no ego, no hope of promotion. Gentle and good-natured, but capable of acts of bravery when necessary. One half of the SCP-5056 anomaly, constantly badgered by the other half: a mirror monster expressing affection for him via constant verbal abuse. In an extremely stable romantic relationship with Chief Torosyan. | |
Ibanez, Chief Delfina | Chief, Pursuit and Suppression Section |
Diminutive leader of Site-43's Mobile Task Forces. Tough as nails, takes zero shit, leads by example and does not delegate. | |
Lillihammer, Dr. Lillian Shelby | Chair, Memetics and Countermemetics Section |
Genius-level intellect. Master memeticist: discoverer, interpretor, neutralizer and creator. Always half a dozen steps ahead of everyone else. Lead researcher on Vikander-Kneed Technical Media. Antisocial and arrogant, but so incredibly competent that nobody begrudges it. Best friends with Dr. Blank. | |
McInnis, Dr. Allan James | Director |
English-born American expatriate, educated at Eton College and trained at Site-91. Unflappable, stoic and standoffish, but not a harsh taskmaster. Calm under pressure. Gets the best out of his staff without excessive discipline due to his background in communications. | |
Ngo, Dr. Nhung Tran | Chair, Psychology and Parapsychology Section |
Lead psychiatrist at Site-43, expert in both baseline human and anomalous psychology. Chipper and unbreakable, mentally and physically; martial arts expert as a necessary side-effect of interviewing difficult subjects. | |
Okorie, Dr. Udo Amara | Chief, Applied Occultism Section |
English expatriate and heir to a long, proud line of magic gunk dotoxifiers. Youngest Section Chair, wunderkind. More competent than she realizes. Thaumaturge. | |
Reynders, Dr. Ilse Dorothea | Chief, Acroamatic Abatement Section |
Time-frozen acroamatic abatement researcher from the 1940s, recently freed. Does not age, and has spent nearly eight decades becoming the Foundation's top mind in over a dozen fields. Eager for human connection after her confinement, but lacks intellectual peers. | |
Sokolsky, Dr. Daniil | Chief, Emergent Threat Tactical Response Authority Section |
Scheming, conniving, constantly-planning. Delights in Byzantine intrigue, in keeping ahead of the pack, in showing his colleagues up and embarrassing his enemies. Complexity addiction. Gratingly arrogant personality. | |
Torosyan, Chief Amelia Ohanna | Chief, Janitorial and Maintenance Section |
Bright-eyed and earnest queen of the muck-moppers, thing-fixers and utility-minders. Boundless energy, inexhaustable reserves of empathy, rock solid. The far better half of Philip Deering. | |
Veiksaar, Chief Eileen Katrijn | Chief, Identity and Technocryptography Section |
Jaded by decades of managing tech for squabbling academics. Had to expose her boss as a Maxwellist mole shortly after being hired; has developed a marked distaste for the unethical use of anomalies by Foundation staff. Formerly romantically linked to Dr. Lillihammer. | |
Wettle, Dr. William Wallace | Second Chair, Replication Studies Subsection |
Crass, callous, abrasive, lazy and clumsy. Unimaginative. An unhappy American in a sea of Canadians. Prone to a potentially anomalous amount of bad luck. May have more to him than meets the eye; constant butt of pranks and insults, particularly at the hands of Dr. Blank. |
Associated Personnel
███████, Dr. Daniel | Director, Emergent Threat Tactical Response Authority |
---|---|
The first senior staff member to fly too close to the sun. Sentenced to death for intentionally breaching SCP-096's containment to make a point. Instead spent a decade crafting decommissioning proposals before masterminding the Foundation's defense against General George Bowe. Now in charge of coordinated responses to widespread emergencies for the entire Foundation, and atoning for the one decision which defined the rest of his life. | |
Asheworth, Dr. Daniel | Director, Site-120 |
Thaumaturge, alchemist, hotheaded and sometimes reluctant hero across many realities. Helped with the construction of the REISNO Cannon. Sometimes has trouble making himself understood. |
Site-43 Personnel (Inactive)
Deering, Dr. Dougall Alton | Chair, Applied Occultism Section |
---|---|
Estranged brother of Philip. Died under mysterious circumstances in 2002, due to events entirely of his own making. His brother is unaware of his death. | |
Falkirk, Dr. Edwin Scott | All-Sections Chief, Pro-Tem Director |
Obnoxious old-boys-club academic, strong believer in a firm hand, a sharp whip and a cold-hearted demeanour. Permanently comatose after an attack by SCP-5056 in 2003. | |
Rydderech, Dr. Wynn Rhys | Co-Director Emeritus |
Inventor of acroamatic abatement and co-founder of Provisional Site-43. Lifetime partner with Dr. Scout, in every possible way. Retiring and nervous disposition, though quick to irritation. Now an anomalous reality bender living beneath the Site, continuing to neutralize esoteric effluence for the Foundation. Potentially immortal and mentally unstable. | |
Scout, Dr. Vivian Lesley | Director Emeritus |
Pioneer of anomalous historical research and co-founder of Provisional Site-43. Long-lived Site Director, essentially the Foundation's chief operative in Canada. Creator of Nexus-94. Long-term partner of Dr. Rydderech and correspondent with Thilo Zwist. Presided over the expansion of all Site facilities, all hiring, and all training between 1943 and 1996. Died of advanced old age in 1997. |
Persons of Interest
Zwist, Thilo | schriftsteller |
---|---|
Austrian memeticist from the seventeenth century, kept alive through unclear anomalous mechanisms in order to combat GoI-5054 (the giftschreiber). Nominally allied with Site-43 and the Foundation to counteract harmful memetic activity in North America. Has led a colourful life. May have trained apprentices. |
Archetypicals Cast
Blank, Dr. Harold Robert | Director, Site-43 |
---|---|
See above. | |
Dune, Dr. Jason "Jay" | Senior Researcher, Metafictional Anomalies Department |
Appears uninterested most of the time. Said to be useful. Never seen without his notepad. | |
Forkley, Dir. Eli | Director, Department of Miscommunications |
Linguistic magician, begrudging therapist. Ambitious, though not necessarily arrogant. Assisted Place in containment of SCP-INTEGER. Wants to prove his competence, mostly to himself. | |
Isabi, Dir. Yves | Director, Astrophysics Department |
An optimist and daydreamer. Studies space, but has never paid a visit. Worked with Place in Site-15's Artificial Intelligence Applications Division almost five decades ago. Excited to explore, and to escape. | |
King, Madeleine | Junior Researcher, Mathematics Department |
Competence is her passion, Mathematics is more of a hobby. Daughter of a well-known Director. Trying to live up to her name, with mixed results. | |
McDoctorate, Dir. Placeholder | Director; Pataphysics Dept., Archetypicals Division |
Can always tell a good story. Inventor of the Placeholder Exploratory Engine, The REISNO Cannon, several Foundation AI conscripts, and the Narrative-Space-Time model of reality. Cursed by a nomenclative deity to have his identity rewritten. Defended Site-15 from a forgettable army. Trying to understand himself. | |
Saxon, Dr. Zachary Charles | Senior Researcher, Pataphysics Dept. |
Professional, consistent, and occasionally irritable. Assistant Director of Pataphysics. Unafraid of Place — they're not necessarily friends, but they have a strong working relationship. Slight neat freak. Expert in dimensional Pataphysics, saved a species of half-fictional characters. Seeks appreciation. | |
Stern, Holly Dean | Systems Technician, Site-87 |
An independent thinker; will either prove you right or prove you wrong. Occasionally the smartest, but always the most rational in the room. Specializes in computer science and electrical engineering. Notably, friends with Dr. Saxon. Strives to be unbound by expectations. | |
Wettle, Dr. William Wallace | Chair, Research and Experimentation Section, Site-43 |

So You Want to Be a Hoser
Want to write something for this canon? It's easy. It's so easy, even Harry can do it. There's two different approaches you can take:
- Read up a little on the first two series listed (Words of Power and Poison, and Vikander-Kneed Technical Media) and see if you think you'd like to contribute to them;
- Do zero research and just ask an existing writer how your interests might fit in;
- Get a sense of the place, come up with your own standalone thing, and write that instead.
You don't need to add to some over-arching narrative to write for this canon. Maybe set something at 43, definitely vibrate on some of the same frequencies as the existing material, and you're good. If you do want to contribute to the two open series, though, there's a few things to keep in mind:
- If you think you might be writing something that'll step on someone else's toys toes, try talking it over with them first;
- Don't write origin stories for other people's toys;
- Don't break other people's toys without asking.
Harry would love to see anything you wanna write about Site-43. If it doesn't impinge on his so-called storyline, though, feel free to ignore the fuck out of him.
Grigori would love to see anything you wanna write about VKTM. Grigori would love to see anything you wanna write about VKTM.
Placeholder's series is Placeholder's series. The man has plans. If you would like to write something relating to the Archetypicals Division (for example, naming and employing them in the containment of a metanarrative anomaly), contact Placeholder McD via wikidot pm. We may be able to work something out.
If you want to add something you wrote to the hub, use the following code:
[[div class="bubble"]]
++ **[[[SCP-XXXX]]]: The Series Title**
A description! Hopefully one that either fits on one line, or fits //well// on two.
If you fuck that up, Harry's probably going to rewrite it on you.
He's probably not gonna ask nicely. He's like that, I'm afraid.
[[/div]]
If you're not sure what you've come up with fits into the existing series… good! Add it under "Canadian Cont(ainm)ent." That's where non-series stuff goes. If you end up writing a whole damn thing eventually, we'll give you your own spiffy collapsible and banner. We're nice hosts like that.
Bug Harry when you post something and he'll do you up a little icon like the other entries have. He works fast.
How to Write Politely
Tone — On Guard 43 is neither grimdark nor lolFoundation. You can be gross and scary and upsetting and emotional, and you can be light and airy and absurd, but don't carry either one to the point of cartoonishness. Everything on here so far has an element of humour to it, but try to remember that these are supposed to be real people. Nobody walks around Site-43 with a shotgun, and nobody at Site-43 feeds human beings into a meat grinder.
Topics — On Guard 43 is focused on a Site that does several things differently from the larger Foundation. These include:
- Site-43 has a set of squabbling pseudoacademic Sections instead of departments. Its staff is more likely to be eccentric, more likely to be writing research papers, more likely to be pulling faces behind each others' backs. Academics are both more and much less adult than non-academics;
- Site-43 does historical research. The researchers in the Archives and Revision Section comb through old documents, looking for anomalies that weren't recognized as such at the time. You want to tell a long-form story about an evolving problem? You want to tell a short-form story about something that happened in the past? We're a ready-made framing narrative for you;
- Site-43 does acroamatic abatement. That's the breaking-down of gunk produced by our various subjects in containment. That leaves lots of room for stories about anomalous toxicity, day-to-day working class drudgery, and bonkers disasters;
- Site-43 has a ton of different Sections doing different stuff. Check out the list on the Site dossier and see if anything sparks some ideas;
- Site-43 is targeted by, and is targeting, various Groups of Interest with their fingers in memetic pies. The giftschreiber destabilize order with creative memetic attacks, the schriftsteller try to stabilize society with memetic effects, and Vikander-Kneed is trying to fuck people up with memetic media. You don't need a lot of background to play around with those premises;
- Site-43 is a Foundation backwater. People live much more normal lives here than they do at Site-19. Slice-of-life is very, very welcome in this canon;
- Site-43 is one of the headquarters of the Emergent Threat Tactical Response Authority (ETTRA). That means we spend some time thinking about how we might use our anomalies to combat hostile GOI action. You can too;
- Site-43 is surrounded by a Nexus of First Nations reservations. If you're First Nations yourself, please by all means write about that! If you're not, please don't;
- Site-43 is in Canada. You are allowed to write about Canadian shit. Sorry about that, everybody else.
