Jack Bright is no longer a figure within the SCP community. Fictional representation has been replaced by Elias Shaw. "The List" has also been purged accordingly.


** Junior Researcher James, who's implied to be Dr. Bright's son. Two of his [=SCPs=], [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-789-j SCP-789-J]] and [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-078-j SCP-078-J]], which are funny if not childish. Then we have [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682-j SCP-682-J]], which are his drawings of SCP-682 and his versions of its description. One of the picture is SCP-682 eating a researcher.

** Most of the items on [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-things-dr-bright-is-not-allowed-to-do-at-the-foundation the list of things Dr. Bright is not allowed to do at the Foundation]] imply quite a few such incidents coming from just one guy.



* PoliceCodeForEverything: Mostly inverted by the things Dr. Bright is not allowed to do. However, there are codes for: Necrophilia[[note]](I do NOT want to know)[[/note]] and the Bright Family Reunion.[[note]](Code Brown. Find a place to hide, and make sure you leave an offering of booze outside your door.)[[/note]]



* RedShirt: The Class D's, of course. Lampshaded: Dr. Bright cannot change the standard issue D-Class uniform to black pants with a red polo shirt.
--> "84.1. I see your reasoning, but we just don't want to be associated with Franchise/StarTrek."

* {{Panacea}}: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-500 SCP-500]] are pills that cure any disease, but there's just about fifty of them and they're impossible to replicate perfectly (though knockoffs ''can'' work if you're lucky). Later, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-427 SCP-427: the Lovecraftian Locket]] was developed out of one of the pills and has eclipsed it in use, although with the possible side effect of mutating you into a squid.

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7179 SCP-7179]] is an afterlife consisting of an island paradise with a beach house, three willing and non-sentient sex partners, and all the food, drink, and drugs you could ever want. But there's no way to leave and you're stuck there for eternity, so you will enjoy yourself for a few years at most before you start going insane from boredom and loneliness.
** In the tale ''[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/visionsofabetterworld Visions of a Better World]]'', one of the possible futures has the Foundation infect the world's population with [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-217 SCP-217]], a virus that converts people and animals into clockwork beings. Their idea is that illness will become nonexistent and injuries can be easily treated by repairing them as one repairs a broken-down bicycle. Once the whole world is transformed, the clockwork humans no longer have emotions, curiosity, or imagination, and there's no further progress to be made and nothing to work toward. They no longer see the point of living and die.

* OminousMessageFromTheFuture: While it is unclear exactly who or what is responsible for its creation, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6135 SCP-6135]], an anomalous recording of Billy Joel's ''We Didn't Start the Fire'', contains several additional verses which appear to predict future events (of course, the documentation in question was written in 1991, so many of these events will be familiar to modern readers). The real kicker comes at the end, when it's revealed that "Research into the identities of Tim [[SpellMyNameWithAnS McVay]] and Harry Potter is ongoing."

*** "Safe": Easily contained and not liable to escape.
*** "Euclid": Requires a significant amount of resources to contain, and containment may not be reliable. By default, any SCP that exhibits sentience is classified as Euclid due to the inherent unpredictability of entities capable of independent thought and action.
*** "Keter": Highly difficult to contain, often requiring vast amounts of resources and complex containment procedures. Also highly liable to escaping.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A group calling itself "The Chaos Insurgency" cannot possibly be up to any good. Neither can the Church of the Broken God. Or the Sarckic Cults and their "fleshcrafters". [[CharacterizationMarchesOn The Church has since subverted this trope.]] While the name can and likely means to inspire wariness or fear, the Church [[GodIsGood (or rather, MEKHANE Themselves)]] are firmly for humanity.
