As a Whole
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: They're almost never seen containing or researching any anomalies. This is hand waved by their blog's mun saying that keeping their anomalies in containment is one of the few things they're good at.
Dr. Jack Bright
A Level 4 researcher and one of the main characters. Loyal to the Foundation, sometimes excessively so.
Dr. Alto Clef
A Level 4 researcher and one of the main characters. Small and cursed.
- Embarrassing Nickname: "Butterball".
- Hunter of His Own Kind: Reality benders, to be precise.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: An odd example. He's called "Alto Clef" because nobody can pronounce the sound of an A-major chord on a ukelele, but that isn't his real name either.
- Third Eye: Though it's never shown to have any notable anomalous properties.
Dr. Benjamin Kondraki
A Level 4 researcher and one of the main characters. Prone to paranoia.
- Adaptational Nice Guy
- Papa Wolf: To ☻ and the Chipotle Cult.
- Properly Paranoid: At least as far as the New Years' incident is concerned.
Dr. Everett King
Self-described mathematician, researcher, bastard, and idiot.
- Cut Your Heart Out With A Spoon: Is very fond of this type of threat.Dr. King, addressing someone who called him "Dr. King Kong": is that joke (not a funny one at that) going to be worth it when i force you to relive the process of losing your baby teeth and growing in new ones?
Dr. Charles Ogden Gears
A Level 4 researcher. Actually a robot. Somehow capable of more emotion than many of his alternate-universe counterparts. May or may not be illiterate.
Dr. Julian Iceberg
Dr. Gears' assistant. An egotistical Type Green with aspirations toward promotion and half a brain cell.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Iceberg's reaction to finding out that Clef has been weakening his powers is to beat him unconscious with his own laptop and then go sulk in another dimension.
- An Ice Person
- Trademark Favorite Food: Chocolate.
Dr. R. Gerald
A researcher who inadvertently sows disaster wherever he goes. Surprisingly optimistic.
- Drives Like Crazy: SCP-666-J. Do we need to say more?
Dr. Simon Glass
The Foundation psychologist. Owns several therapy animals.

- Only Sane Man: The reason why he's the one conducting the therapy sessions.
Researcher James Talloran

- Adaptational Villainy: Played with. While not an outright villain, this version of Talloran takes up a much more antagonistic role than he did in the original article.
- Berserk Button: Reality benders.
- Glasgow Grin: Sports a rather prominent one on his character art.
- Pillow Pistol: He keeps a dagger in his pillowcase.
- Seen It All
- Survivor Guilt: He blames himself for the deaths of the other personnel involved in 3999's "containment". It doesn't help that said deaths were actually his fault.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He believes that reality benders are dangerous and should immediately be terminated if possible. Understandable, but not ideal when the rest of the foundation wants the reality bender kept alive.
Dr. Cimmerian
Ethics Committee liaison. Surprisingly not launched into the sun.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: After the Foundation's camping trip was cut short by the AAM showing up, his response was to angrily throw cheese onto a restroom ceiling. According to Kondraki, this isn't even the first time he's done this.

- Pungeon Master: To the point where puns rank higher on the list of priorities than his personal safety.

- Came Back Wrong: After ◇ killed him.
- Extreme Omnivore
- MacGyvering: When the Harmony Cult raided the Foundation, he set up a base in a broom closet. All the traps he managed to make were VERY effective. And then he got into the vents...
- Taking You with Me: Coffee attempts to do this during his fight with ◇.
Dr. Melody Rose
A young researcher that takes care of plants. She seemingly appeared out of nowhere and worked under Dr. Pines, whose position she got after they were decommissioned. She also is normal sized.

- Body Horror: Their organs are color-coded and neatly labelled, for some reason.

♡
The mother of the Harmony Cult and a leader. She was the one that founded it and got to decide its name. Although she sees herself as a good mother she is in reality very manipulative, atleast to ♤, another leader that sees her as his mom.
- Mama Bear: For some reason keep the anons taunting her, although she already proven to be dangerous by killing Half-Circle for hurting one of her children. One can only wonder why they do it.
- Team Mom
♤
He is the youngest leader, but also the most dangerous power wise. The mods stated that he is being manipulated by the other leaders. He likely does not know what the Harmony Cult really is. ♤ is also the tallest in the cult.
♧
A shapeshifter that might have planned this all. They are very manipulative and sadistic. To continue on with their plan is their first motive and disregards with that other peoples mental health. As seen in 'A Mother's Heart', where they kidnapped and hurt a child to motivate ♡ to continue on with their plans. They, too are a leader of the Harmony Cult. They may or may not be a version of 682.

⊙
They were the one to have started sending song lyrics as warnings, but stopped when ☻ told the Foundation that they are indeed warnings.
◒
He strongly abides by the Harmony Cult's beliefs, even to the point of going against direct orders from the cult's leaders.

As it later turned out, he is the single dad anon that has been around since the start.
- Would Hurt a Child
