Non-Anomalous Reality is my SCP Foundation AU revolving around a [REDACTED] city, where those who worked at the other universe’s foundation live and work. It’s a cute slice-of-life I made to take a break from writing lore for Scolopendra, my main canon.

Here are all the major Scolopendra characters (minus SCP-590, I need to make a separate post for anomalies) as they are in the AU

—♟️—

Isaiah “Canis” John Wojciechowski

- Definitely not a serial killer. Definitely not

- Works at his dad’s pest control company, him and clef are the only two people there but they get the job done

- Dropped out of high school in 12th grade after having a mental breakdown

- In a relationship with Iceberg, they live in a shitty flat together

- Their relationship is super tumultuous, often strained by Iceberg’s addiction and Canis’s violent behavior to outsiders, as well as both of their respective mental instability

- Professional bar hopper

- Goes on illegal hunting trips around the woods surrounding the city, scares the shit out of hikers there for thrills

- Can’t drive, refuses to learn

- Goes to his sister’s church every sunday for mass even though he left catholicism behind long ago, hopes to fix his relationship with her even though she can’t even look at him

- Micheal bails him out of jail whenever he gets into fights

- “Sir please I swear he started it this time you just have to trust me”

- Undiagnosed autism and ptsd

- After his parents divorced his mother got custody of him somehow for the majority of the month. After he dropped out she kicked him out

Julian “Iceberg” Sila Steele

- Miserable office worker, in corporate at a motor manufacturing company

- STILL Gears’ assistant

- About once every two years he gets put on house arrest for arson charges, Gears slips the jury cash underneath the table to get him light sentences

- Argues with losers on imageboards for fun

- Survives off of pizza rolls and white claws

- “No baby I’m not cheating on you if the girl is fictional”

- Loves mecha series’

- Really bad at bleaching his own hair but insists on it even though it decreases his chance of a promotion

- Used to live in Alaska but moved into the city for the college, got the nickname “Iceberg” there and it stuck

- I was going to make him have an actual job but the pen pusher identity can never be separated from Iceberg

- Canis has to drag him out of bed every day for work

- Claims that he’s just working at the company to acquire funds to get a doctorate even though he’s pushing 40

- Diagnosed bipolar

Micheal Delton

- College American military history professor

- Owns + sells land, lowkey sees teaching as a side hustle

- Is absurdly harsh on his students, 0 credit even if you’re a minute late

- Doesn’t give that much work anyways so it’s not that bad really

- Easily pissed off when Roche comes to bother him

- Still lets him sleep in his class

- All his students are practically soldiers by the end of the first semester

- Is super embarrassed when people bring up his very obvious relationship

- If you pester him enough he’ll admit to it

- “Roche does NOT by any means slip ketamine into my morning coffee”

- Was a general in the cold war before being discharged for being gay

- Has undiagnosed bpd

- Met Roche at the job, as of now they refer to each other as husbands but they aren’t legally wed

- Texan, moved to the city to prospect for new land. Lives in Texas during the summer.

- Provides Roche a lot of support when he’s having a manic or depressive episode, completely willing to take time off of work if it happens

N.S. Roche

-College chemical biology teacher

- His class is super small and extremely devoted to him, a la The Secret History

- Easy on his students

- But expects them to discover a new drug by the end of the first semester

- Whenever he doesn’t have a class he’ll take naps in Micheal’s classroom, he really enjoys ragebaiting him on the job

- The amount of fumes that come from his lab could knock out the unsuspecting passerby out in a minute

- Doesn’t regard lab safety as a “concern of [his]”, makes students sign a waver before every lab

- Relatively open about his relationship, regularly claims to slip ketamine into Micheal’s morning coffee and that this “is just the beginning of his true colors”

- Iceberg took his class while he was in college, never really recovered from the fumes

- Diagnosed with bipolar when he was in college

- Agent Canis

• we all know him by this point

• grief-stricken over the loss of his former lover

• more mature than his previous self

• sole bodyguard of O5-6 and ranch hand of the Penal Colony, in order to not lengthen Egaire Sébastien.

- Juliet von Marzanna

• the manifestation of Canis’s grief over Iceberg’s death

• first name is obviously a female version of Julian (in additional reference to Canis’s serial murders of women in Fetcher) and a reference to Juliet from Romeo and Juliet. Marzanna is a goddess of winter, death, and rebirth in Slavic folklore.

• exclusively appears in Canis’s dreams

• very resembling of the original Iceberg, sans wearing a kigurumi mask that’s meant to look like the common fandom version of himself. When the mask is opened his face is revealed to be made of locusts.

- O5-6 “The Cowboy”

• “real” name is Micheal Delton

• patriarch of the Colony

• originally was a Vaquero who was seduced by the idea of the American dream, joining the US army in the war of 1812 where he was subsequently invited to join the foundation in its early days

• tbh he’s supposed to be the head of the MTF division but in truth he’s only a piece of propaganda to allure agents into giving everything up for the prospect of greatness. Honestly he’s kind of a cult leader at this point

• gay and married to O5-7 but won’t directly admit it

• hypermasculine and extremely toxic about it

• American nationalist even though he’s technically Mexican

• gave up Wesley to the foundation as a display of his devotion

• obsessed with the idea of being chivalrous yet independent, made to mock the modern interpretation of the cowboy that’s so far detached from it’s original purpose to herd cows that’s it’s turned into a violent bounty hunter

• loves chess but is ultimately often defeated by O5-7 as he values short term satisfaction over victory in the long run

- O5-7 “the apothecary”

• “real name” is N.S. Roche

• comedically french

• war doctor in the napoleonic war fueled by the desire to save others. Was recruited to the foundation as one of the first doctors and subsequently was killed by his own experiment “Scolopendra Imperatoris” (anomaly affecting those with unwavering belief and judgement). Was in a gay relationship with Micheal at the time

• Micheal’s grief and anger of his death and the foundation’s willingness to have him die somehow resurrected his ass but something was off. Should have stayed dead imo. Do you see the irony of Micheal being upset at the foundation’s treatment of it’s staff

• a complete shut in, trapping himself into the right wing of the Colony in search of the answer to Scolopendra Imperatoris, aiming to make “the perfect man”

• does care about Wesley. He really does but he’s so obsessed with creating something perfect that he’s ignoring what’s the closest thing he has to someone who is the same as himself

• often defeats O5-6 in chess but is never satisfied with his final win, challenging him to another match every single noon

• “matriarch” of the Colony. Plays the role to reflect the classic nuclear family dynamic

- Egaire Sebastién

• true form of O5-7, only exists when exposed to sunlight. Exists because unlike Canis, Micheal isn’t able to directly confront his guilt, preferring to keep it as some form of “motivator” like Roche.

• so grotesque it only appears as a silhouette, but is meant to look like a giant centipede made of human parts

• every section of the body is one person that O5-6 was personally responsible for the death of. As of now it has over 400 sections.

• secretes an absolutely disgusting scent. Sickly sweet with an undertone of late stage decay

• highly aggressive and feeds on minerals, usually siphoning them from deposits underground. But he’s more than willing to collect his feed from trace elements in humans, but he’s not able to suppress his hunger

- SCP-590

• Holden “Wesley” Delton

• 14ish

• I actually have not written the entirety of his abilities tbh

• has an extremely close relationship with Canis and has little attachment to anyone else

• biologically Roche’s, was born from a clot of his blood that he spilled during an incident
