RPC Authority / YMMV

Alternative Character Interpretation:
- RPC-010-1 closing the door, which was being held open by a child, as a CSD attempts to enter. Does it mean that RPC-010-1 has some sort of sentience or was it merely being controlled by Ms. Jackson? The Authority itself debates over this.
- Mother. She's pretty polite in the letter she sent alongside RPC-239, but is this a case of Affably Evil or Faux Affably Evil?
Broken Base:
- RPC-840. While it's a pretty highly rated article overall, some people are all but fond of it establishing that humans come from Venus and that every civilization that becomes too advanced is exterminated by a god, especially since the latter greatly limits what kind of extraterrestrial anomalies can be created by other authors.^note It's no wonder that some people refuse to acknowledge 840 completely, and one of the reasons Cosmic Embers was created is exactly because of this RPC's existence.
- The site itself. Either it's considered something superior to the SCP Foundation, more faithful to the latter's roots and with a better community, or just a rip-off with lower writing standards and a worse community. Very rarely you will find someone who enjoys both sites equally.
Complete Monster:
- Ms. Jackson is the elementary school teacher monitoring RPC-010. Living inside her class along with her 31 students for years, Ms. Jackson tortures and murders the children on a daily basis if they fail to meet her expectations, using an anomolous object called the Happy Box to bring them back each time that they die in a perpetual cycle of pain; Ms. Jackson has lashed a girl for failing her math quiz and strangled a boy to death when he began sleepwalking. Occasionally reading stories about disturbing topics such as rape and murder to her class, Ms. Jackson once did something so horrible to her new student that an Authority researcher requested an immediate transfer to another site out of disgust.
- RPC-142, also known as "Reanimator", is a sadistic Serial Killer and Serial Rapist who takes advantage of his immortality to satisfy his misogyny by going on killing sprees against women, having raped and murdered several over the years, with his MO involving the mutilation and dismemberment of his victims. After breaking into a strip club, the Reanimator slaughtered eight people inside with a hatchet and charged at the police officers when they tried to stop him; when he was killed by said officers, the Reanimator was caught days later trying to strangle a woman to death behind a bar. While under custody of the Authority, he had a brief conversation with a figure from his past, Jerome, whose loved one had been murdered by the Reanimator, mockingly commenting that he was "not the first guy whose got pissed at me over some bitch" before admitting to be a monster. Eventually escaping and jumping from a bridge to his death, the Reanimator is currently free to resume his serial killings anywhere in the world.
- RPC-239, also known as "Bobo the Clown", was once a mundane but sadistic Serial Killer named Lucas Walker Jr., having terrorized a town before his death. Lucas was soon resurrected in the body of a living clown puppet by a mysterious entity called "Mother" for the purposes of freeing dangerous RPCs, a job he's all too happy to do. He is also given the ability to permanently erase the consciousness of those he makes physical contact with and turn them to his enslaved puppets, which he does to 17 personnel, and has an additional 109 killed in an attempt to start a mass containment breach. When foiled and detained, he recognizes a researcher interrogating him as the older brother of a boy he killed as a human, and repeatedly mocks him over it.
- The original RPC-913, also known as "the Crooked Man", was captured by the GARD, who made over 15 sacrifices to it in the attempt to use a ritual to control it. RPC-913 soon manages to escape, killing everyone in the place where it was trapped but one person, who however has his memories messed up by the creature. Years later, the Authority and the FOA find RPC-913 feeding on hikers and locals before it uses its powers to force several soldiers to shoot at each other and affect the remaining ones as well, going as far as forcing one to kill his own wife and daughters. Ultimately, RPC-913 is an entity whose only goal is causing as much suffering as possible.
- Cosmic Embers Alternate Continuity: Snee is a Septed obsessed with recreating the Humanoids. In order to achieve this goal, Snee created a terrorist group known as the Brothers and Sisters of the Soil so they could terraform other planets. Not content with other races, Snee annihilated an entire species of sapient aliens on the planet dubbed "New Earth" and later surrounded the planet with a magnetic field to destroy all forms of technology. After brainwashing and genetically manipulating thousands of humans, Snee and the Brothers and Sisters of the Soil later killed 26 soldiers within the GRPC before being subdued and arrested.
Fandom Rivalry: With the SCP Foundation, which is inevitable as the RPC wiki is a splinter site of the former due to political and creative differences.
Magnificent Bastard: Cosmic Embers Alternate Continuity: GRP-002-A is a god-like entity who existed only for a fraction of a second at the beginning of the universe. In that short time, however, he predicted everything that would happen in the universe, and so formulated a plan to achieve "rebirth". Creating some orbs who allow others—or rather, perfect copies of them—to go back in time to the moment he was still alive, GRP-002-A granted wishes to those he encountered to further reach his goals, mainly doing this with the Karza and the GRPC. While GRP-002-A is willing to harm innocents to obtain what he wants, he's also able to do good and overall demonstrates to be genuinely affable when interacting with others.
Moral Event Horizon:
- If what RPC-010-2 normally does to her students is not enough, then she definitely crossed it when she did something so horrible that even an Authority researcher was disgusted by it.
- RPC-142 crossed it with all the women he has murdered and raped. What's worse is him essentially admitting that he has no humanity.
- RPC-239 crossed it long ago by killing Aaron Harker's little brother.
- RPC-548 crosses it with its desire to kill the entire human race for an Irrational Hatred.
Overshadowed by Controversy: If you've heard talking about the RPC Authority, chances are that you've heard about its controversial origins following the 2018 pride month controversy on the SCP Foundation site.
