* GenreRefugee: The Alpha Foundation's sheer strength can be summarized as the logical conclusion of the protagonist's journey in a SpiritCultivationGenre work, only transplanted into the SCP wiki's hard sci-fi in such a way that it stands out among multiple branches that usually don't do "powerful" characters.

A radical and extremely powerful alternate counterpart of the SCP Foundation, supposedly from the 81st century of Project Palisade's timeline (or at least one version of it -- time and narrativistics apparently don't mix well.) Their identifying trait is their complete mastery over pataphysics, which eventually allowed them to use narrative traversal and weaponry to unite their entire narrative stack into one whole multiversal federation that exists in a true utopia. Still, it becomes apparent they still have their own threats to deal with, leading to an existential paranoia that sets them down a dark path.

The Alpha Foundation originates from the Chinese branch. While they lack their own page, they are the focus characters of the Chinese Pataphysics Department's endgame.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Once SCP-3812 and THE WORM were dead by their hands, the Alpha Foundation learned that the only remaining threat to their existence was the authors, prompting them to plot a neutralization plan.
* DisturbingStatistic: A common way of showing off their power is to use ridiculous orders of magnitude for specific quantities of assets that dwarf any other Foundation's reserves.

* RageAgainstTheAuthor: They know the only thing that could kill them is an author. Naturally, their response is to start gathering power to defeat them. With traditional combat and weapons.

* PretentiousLatinMotto: Ecce Homo Platonis. Ecce Homo ("Behold, the man") is a phrase from Literature/TheBible said by Pontus Pilatus when presenting Jesus bound and whipped. The addition of "Platonis" makes it "Behold, the man of Plato," a reference to an anecdote about Diogenes the Cynic where he responded to Plato's defition of a man as "featherless biped" by bringing a plucked chicken and declaring "Here is Plato's man." The motto reflects how they pretend to be a serious and dignified institution while actually being rather silly.

* DeathSeeker: Taking a picture of the lake with SCP-978 produced a photo of the bodies in the water alive and with their identities restored. Assuming SCP-2316's powers work in reverse (i.e. somehow removing a body would weaken it), this would kill the entity outright.
