SCP-6001 “Avalon” – Glossary

This glossary only covers terms that a SCP fan is expected to know from other SCP stories. Since it’s a shared universe, details and truths vary from story to story. You do not need to click through to the linked articles, but feel free to go as deep down the rabbit hole as you like. I’ve only included the big things here; for a deep dive that you can read afterward, check out this Reddit post by the story’s author.

  • Anomalies: Objects, entities, or circumstances that The SCP Foundation considers abnormal enough to protect humanity from them.
  • The Absent Party: In our world, Nobody is a strange individual with unknowable motivations somehow limited in how they can affect the world or be affected.
  • The Artists Cultural Collective: In our world, Are We Cool Yet? is a group of experimental artists using anomalous materials.
  • Cook, ramen: In our world, SCP-5031: “Yet Another Murder Monster” is a creature that the SCP Foundation kept imprisoned in darkness until a researcher realized it enjoyed music and cooking and could be taught language. A personal favorite of Gregory’s.
  • The Council: In our world, the SCP Foundation is controlled by the O5 Council, a group of 13 strange individuals with top-level clearance. Reports of their identities vary.
  • D-Class: Expendable orange-jumpsuited personnel, generally recruited from a pool of people incarcerated for violent crimes and used as experimental fodder.
  • The Everywhere Chair: In our world, SCP-1609: “The Remains of a Chair” is a pile of wood chips capable of teleportation and traumatized by being thrown in a woodchipper by another secret organization.
  • Feathers: In our world, SCP-469: “Many-Winged Angel” is a biblically-correct angel that feeds on sound.
  • The flowers bloomed: In our world, SCP-001 (Lily’s Proposal): “The World’s Gone Beautiful” is a dimension where the world ends peacefully just after an anomalous floral bloom.
  • The Global Peacekeeping Initiative: A combination of our world’s Global Occult Coalition (an occult group seeking to destroy all anomalies) and the Unusual Incidents Unit (the FBI’s anomaly branch, AKA the X-Files division).
  • Hairy patron: In our world, SCP-1000: “Bigfoot.”
  • Immortigon: In our world, SCP-682: “Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.” A dragon that can’t be destroyed and tries to hatefully kill all other life because it is “disgusting.”
  • Large Floating Orb: In our world, SCP-3201: “well, it was low-entropy while it lasted.” Ball-lightning turns out to be a species of archivist. Another highlight of Gregory’s.
  • Man in a black suit: In our world, SCP-4999: “Someone to Watch Over Us” is a figure that appears to neglected people just before they are going to die alone.
  • Mechanical God: In our world, the Church of the Broken God “believes flesh and life to be inherently evil or ‘broken'” and strives to collect and reassemble the fragments of a mechanical God.
  • The Nightland Covenant: In our world, SCP-1000, “Bigfoot,” or the Children of the Night, are deliberately kept in exile by the SCP Foundation.
  • The Partnership of Three: In our world, Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. is a club of rich collectors and hedonists that seeks out anomalous items.
  • Portland: In our world, Portland, Oregon (or maybe Maine?) either is or provides access to a paranormal city-state composed of three overlapping cities. A “shared canon” in which many stories take place.
  • SCP: Formally, “Special Containment Procedures,” the documents describing how to contain (or try to contain) anomalies. Colloquially, anomalies are sometimes called SCPs or “skips.” See also The SCP Foundation.
  • The SCP Foundation: A global secret organization empowered and entrusted by every major national government with the task of containing anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. Their mission is to “secure, contain, and protect,” often using morally questionable means.
  • That Girl: In our world, SCP-231: “Special Personnel Requirements,” a girl who must be unspeakably tortured to prevent the apocalypse.
  • The Shared Apex Ascension: In our world, Wilson’s Wildlife Solutions is a rogue wildlife service that handles anomalous animals.
  • The Statue: In our world, SCP-173: “The Sculpture.” A statue that can’t move as long as it’s being watched but wants to kill you. Clearly inspired by Doctor Who’s episode “Blink.” The first SCP to be written.
  • The Synthetic Assembly: A combination of our world’s Andersons Robotics (a company that makes synthetic robots) and the Church of the Broken God (see Mechanical God).
  • The Unbound Charity: A combination of our world’s Manna Charitable Foundation (a group that recklessly deploys anomalies to try and help people) and Wondertainment (an entity that makes anomalous toys).
  • The Unnamed: In our world, SCP-4000: “Taboo” is a fae realm. You must not name it or anything within it or you may be replaced.
  • Vending machine: In our world, SCP-294: “The Coffee Machine.” A weird vending machine. An early SCP.
  • The Wanderers of All Creation: A combination of our world’s Wanderer’s Library (librarians of an infinite library), Chaos Insurgency (a rogue power-seeking splinter group of the Foundation), and Serpent’s Hand (an occult group seeking to free anomalies).

  • The Workshop Union: A combination of our world’s Prometheus Labs (an anomalous research group) and The Factory (an obscure group that can mass-produce anomalous artifacts).
