Simon

Role in the plot and connection to Detective Void
Line Chris is built around a missing assistant on her grounds. It is she who turns to Simon for help, because the local authorities either do not believe or hide the details. From this point on, she becomes his field ally:
Gives access to the territory where anomalous events take place, and knows the local rules, people, and routes.
She helps with logistics and contacts: she has connections among hunters, rangers, local guides - this speeds up the collection of information.
Works proactively: Chris often notices minor inconsistencies before Simon and forces him to double-check the evidence.
She shares the risks: she does not "wait safely", but participates in inspections and evacuations when the situation heats up.
It is the combination of her "local knowledge" and Simon's method (evidence, protocols, repeatable checks) that uncovers some of the anomalies in this arc.
Family and business
Parents: both are alive, Chris loves them very much. The family owns hunting and fishing grounds - this is a stable and profitable business.
Siblings: Not mentioned.
Attitude: for Chris, this is not just a job, but a responsibility to people who depend on order on the territory (rangers, guides, seasonal workers). Hence her intolerance of "covering her tracks" and attempts to write off the loss as an "accident".
Symbolism and details that are often found in the fandom
Fox symbol: Chris has a strong association with the fox. In various works, this is interpreted as a hint of caution, the ability to track and "see the paths" that others miss.
Practicality is in the details: she always takes a multitool, a supply of batteries, a thermal blanket and a map of the area with her - even if "it's for a couple of hours".
Style: a red jacket is not just a detail of the image, but a marker of visibility: in the forest or in the swamps, it is easier to find it if something goes wrong.

All About Chris (Christelle Limberg) from the Detective Void universeChris
, aka Christelle Limberg, is one of Simon's key allies in the Missing Notes arc. She is not just an "assistant in the investigation", but an independent heroine with her own area of responsibility and risks.
Background Full
name: Christelle Limberg (fandom and voice acting are more likely to use the short "Chris").
First appearance: Missing Notes Episode 1
Last Appearance: Missing Notes, Episode 3
Occupation: manages family hunting and fishing grounds (in Romania), sells licenses and organizes access to territories.
Appearance: long blonde curly hair up to the elbow, bright blue eyes, scarlet lips. He wears a red jacket, a black T-shirt/long sleeve, blue skinny jeans with a brown belt, black boots; around the neck is a black choker with a ring pendant.
Height: approximately 170 cmThe
character and behavior
of Kris combines openness and practicality, but at the same time she has increased anxiety, which manifests itself as paranoia in stressful situations. This is not a weakness, but a working filter: it calculates the risks in advance and does not trust "silence".
Kind and sympathetic, but can make the "wrong" first impression due to harsh reactions to suspicious details.
Active and straightforward: prefers to act rather than wait.
Impressionable, but quickly assembles if there is a specific task.
In some analyses and fan fiction, her possible sensitivity to the anomalous is emphasized - she notices the "irregularity" in the environment before others.

James
Smith is the father of Simon (Detective Void) and Layla, an important pillar of the Smith family. Unlike Rita, who set the "meaning" and ethical framework, James was responsible for practice, safety, and the ability to act in uncertainty — and this greatly influenced the children's personalities.
Basic Data
Name: James Smith.
Family: Rita Smith's husband, father of Simon Angelo Smith and Leila Elizabeth Smith.
Profession: not directly named in the canon, but according to the details from flashbacks and children's remarks, it is associated with operational work - often interpreted as a former rescuer, survival instructor or security officer.
Character: calm, collected, laconic; knows how to explain complex things in simple actions, not long lectures.
How he raised children
James's style is "learning by doing":
Safety as a skill. He taught Simon and Layla not just to "be careful," but to assess the risks: "First look at where the exit is. Then decide whether to go there." This is why Simon has a habit of always keeping an escape plan and checking his surroundings.
Practice instead of theory. James did not like abstract conversations about "right and wrong", he showed by example: how to assemble an alarm kit, how to read the traces, how to understand that the situation is becoming dangerous. Leila has adopted this habit of "preparing in advance": she always has backup route options and contacts in case of emergency.
Calm under pressure. The children recall that in stressful situations, James spoke little, but every word was accurate. This became a model for them: not to panic, not to waste energy on emotions, but to do the next necessary action.

Plot references and influence on the motivation of the characters
Although James almost does not appear in the frame, his attitudes regularly pop up in the decisions of children:
For Simon: James's phrase "If you can't trust people, trust the system" became the basis of his method of investigation. Simon doesn't rely on "authority," but he does believe in protocols, chains of evidence, and repeatable verifications. Hence his conflict with the SCP Foundation: for him, the Foundation is just a system that has ceased to work honestly.
For Leila: her father's principle of "Safety first, then history" helps her balance between the passion of a journalist and common sense. Even when Leila takes risks for the sake of reporting, she does it consciously, according to a plan, and not at random.
Family rituals: in short flashbacks, a "gathering night" is mentioned - once a week, James and the children prepared and checked their personal kits (flashlight, multitool, first aid kit, map, notebook). This is important for the plot: it is this habit that makes Simon and Layla ready for the unexpected.
Relationship in the family
With Rita: they had a balanced duet. Rita set values ("why we do it"), James set the tools ("how we do it"). The children felt that their parents did not argue about the main thing, and this gave them a sense of reliability.
With Simon: the relationship was more restrained, but respectful. James rarely praised with words, but noticed the effort: "You've tested three options. That's right." For the introverted Simon, such quiet support was more important than big words.
With Leila: with her, James had light humor and household rituals. For example, he taught her to choose comfortable shoes for long shoots and always take a bottle of water with her — little things that she still observes.

All about Rita Smith from the Detective Void universeRita
Smith is the mother of Simon (Detective Void) and Layla, an important part of the Smith family line. Although she does not appear in the frame as often as the main characters, her image is tightly intertwined with the motivation and character of the children.
Basic data
Name: Rita Smith (maiden name is not disclosed in the canon).
Family: married to James Smith; children - Simon Angelo Smith and Leila Elizabeth Smith.
Role in the Lore: A parental figure who greatly influenced the values and behaviors of both children.
Character and influence on children
Rita is shown as a caring but firm mother who tried to bring up independence and honesty in children. This is especially evident in the way Simon has developed an attitude towards justice: he doesn't just look for facts, he wants the truth to matter. Leila from Rita has ease of communication and the ability not to lose her humanity even in the harsh conditions of reporting.
In fan materials and analyses, it is often emphasized that Rita knew how to "calm down without promises", that is, she did not smooth out problems, but helped children to talk about them. That is why both Simon and Leila return to her advice in stressful situations as an internal guide.
Family traditions: In one of the episodes, Simon mentions that they had a "question night" in their family - once a week, everyone got together and talked about what was troubling. This is important for the plot: it was the habit of asking uncomfortable questions that became the basis of the Void method.
Relationship in the family
With James: their union is shown as a partnership: James was more often responsible for "practice" (how to act, where to go, how to get ready), and Rita was more responsible for "meaning" (why we do this, what we protect).
With Simon: they had a difficult but honest contact. Simon didn't always agree with her methods, but admitted that she never lied to him.
With Leila: there is more warmth and humor between them. Leila often jokes that "mom's voice in her head" reminds her to put on a jacket and not drink coffee on an empty stomach.

Family
Mother: Rita Smith.
Father: James Smith.
Brother: Simon Angelo Smith (aka Detective Void). The brother and sister have a warm relationship: Layla often turns to Simon for advice, and he supports her.
Layla's role in the
plot plays an important role in the motivation of the main character. In one of the storylines, she disappears while reporting in a war-torn country. Simon begins to investigate and, with the help of his contact Moki, discovers that the SCP Foundation has covered up what happened and is likely holding Layla captive. This is what triggers Void's actions: he actively searches for his sister and confronts the Foundation.
Other details
On social networks, Layla has some public figures as friends (for example, actor Charlie Hale).
In fan works (fan fiction, art, edits), Layla is often associated not only with her brother, but also with other characters in the universe - for example, with Bran (an entity who lives in Simon's mask).

Layla Smith is the younger sister of Simon (Detective Void) and one of the main driving forces behind his motivation in the fan lore. This is also a non-canon character for the original SCP Foundation: her story lives on in Detective Void videos, animations, and fan fiction.
Who she is and what her role is in Layla's
story is the reason why Simon openly confronts the SCP Foundation. According to the lore, she was somehow taken or held by the Foundation, and Simon believes that she is in danger. It is for the sake of it that he takes risks, hacks databases, penetrates objects and publishes leaks. Her disappearance is a personal tragedy that makes his actions not just a rebellion against the system, but a rescue operation.
Leila Smith from Detective Void is 28 years old. She was born on April 10, 1996.
Appearance
Basic data
Full name: Leila Elizabeth Smith (in some fan materials, there is a variant of "Isabella").
Date of birth: April 10, 1996.
Height: presumably 173 cm.
Appearance: brown hair (often gathered in a high bun), green-brown eyes.
Clothing: Usually wears a blue shirt (tucked into black pants with a gray belt) and red sneakers.
Profession: journalist of the INN TV channel.
Pet: Pelmeshka parrot (in some descriptions, blue plumage is noted).
Character and habits Leila
is a sociable and cheerful girl with a wide circle of acquaintances. She doesn't hesitate to show emotion and care, which is where she's different from her brother Simon. Her hobbies include coffee, traveling, and solving mysteries. And here's what she doesn't like: high heels and milk foam.

Bran is an entity that "lives" in the mask of Simon (Detective Void) and directly affects his powers and consciousness. This is also a character of fan lore (not the SCP Foundation canon), and his image is highly dependent on a specific video/comic/fan fiction, but in the popular reading he has quite stable features.
Who is he and where did Bran come from
, an anomalous entity associated with the concept of emptiness and space distortion. According to the fan lore, he is not just a "voice in the head", but a full-fledged force that can seize control over Simon's body. The mask is both a container and a channel of communication: without it, Bran is either severely weakened or almost unable to manifest in physical reality.
Appearance and manifestations
Bran himself as a separate figure is almost never shown in full form: he exists in the form of:
glowing white eyes inside the mask - the most recognizable image;
shadows, distortions, and "torn" outlines around Simon as Bran takes control;
a voice/whisper that only Simon (and sometimes other anomalously sensitive characters) can hear.
As Bran's influence increases, Simon's pupils may change, dark "cracks" in his skin may appear, or the space around him may become distorted.
Character and motivation
Bran does not have typically "human" emotions, but he does have goals and logic: He seeks to expand his influence,
not so much for the sake of power, but because of the nature of his essence: emptiness "wants" to fill.
He has a complicated relationship with Simon: on the one hand, Simon is his "anchor" in the world, on the other hand, he is a limiter. Therefore, Bran can help, or he can sabotage Simon's plans if he deems them interfering.
Sometimes he acts as a "guardian" or "fuse": in critical situations, Bran can take control to save Simon, even if he doesn't want to.
Because of this, their relationship is often described as a symbiosis with elements of conflict: they need each other, but do not trust each other.

Abilities
Bran's abilities partially "flow" to Simon through the mask, and partly manifest separately:
Distortion of space and reality: creating pockets of emptiness, teleportation, moving objects and even entire buildings between layers of reality.
Manipulation of memory and consciousness: erasing memories, suggestion, reading minds, suppression of will.
Shadow and Darkness Control: Creating barriers, traps, invisibility.
Wearer Regeneration and Protection: When Simon is severely injured, Bran can temporarily patch up the body to survive.
Access to information about the multiverse: Bran is able to see alternative versions of events and understand where reality is "cracking".
At the same time, these powers come at a price: the longer and stronger Bran takes control, the more Simon's memories and personality are erased.
Relationships with other characters
With Simon: a complex symbiosis. Bran saves, but also takes away control. Sometimes Simon doesn't remember what he was doing while Bran was in charge.
With Layla (Simon's sister): In some plots, Bran knows about her fate before Simon and either hides information or gives it in portions because he believes that Simon will not be able to stand the whole truth at once.
With the SCP Foundation: The Foundation perceives Bran as a separate anomalous threat and would like to isolate and study him as an entity rather than a part of Simon. For MTF, it is a priority target.

Simon (Detective Void) is a character in the SCP-based fan universe, the protagonist of the eponymous web animated series and YouTube channel. This is a non-canon character for the original SCP Foundation, but he is very elaborate in his fanlore.
Who is
he Full name - Simon Angelo Smith, nickname "Void" (from the English Void - "emptiness"). In the story, he is a detective and anomaly researcher who deliberately opposes the SCP Foundation, collecting data on objects, revealing their secrets, and trying to avoid being caught by Foundation agents.

Appearance and recognizable details
A black mask with glowing white eyes is the most noticeable detail. According to the lore, an entity named Bran "lives" in her, and the mask greatly affects Simon's abilities and even consciousness.
Scar on the left cheek.
Typical look: white shirt, black tie, black pants, black shoes. In the scenes after the clashes, the shirt is often rumpled and stained with blood - this is part of his "combat" image.
His hair is brown-haired, his eyes are brown with a green tint.

Character and motivation Simon
is rational, introverted, but at the same time not indifferent to those close to him. He does not seek to save the whole world, but is ready to take great risks for the sake of those who are dear to him. His main personal goal in the plot is to save his younger sister Leila Smith, who, according to him, is being held by the Foundation. Because of this, he has a cat-and-mouse relationship with the Foundation, infiltrating facilities, stealing documents, publishing data, and trying to stay out of reach of mobile task forces.

Abilities and Traits
His abilities are hybrid: some are human skills, some are anomalous effects due to his connection to Bran's mask and essence:
High intelligence and investigative skills: cryptology, hacking, stealth, ability to analyze Foundation documents.
Superhuman Durability: Withstands falls from great heights and serious injuries without critical consequences.

Abilities and Traits
His abilities are hybrid: some are human skills, some are anomalous effects due to his connection to Bran's mask and essence:
High intelligence and investigative skills: cryptology, hacking, stealth, ability to analyze Foundation documents.
Superhuman Durability: Withstands falls from great heights and serious injuries without critical consequences.
Distortion of reality and manipulation of space: in some plot moments, he can change the properties of objects, "pull" weapons out of pockets, move objects and even entire buildings to other spaces.
Teleportation and dimensional travel: Can move between worlds and layers of reality.
Psychic abilities: reading minds, erasing memory, influencing consciousness (often through a mask).
Omniscience within the Multiverse: Aware of the nature of different universes and that the Foundation in some layers is just a media project, not a real organization.
Important: these abilities are highly dependent on the state of the mask and how "active" Bran is. Sometimes Simon doesn't even remember what he was doing when Bran took control.
Bran's
relationships with other characters: the masked entity. Their bond is a symbiosis with elements of conflict: Bran gives power, but sometimes takes control of Simon's body and memory.
Leila Smith: Younger sister. Her disappearance and supposed retention by the Foundation are the main driver of Simon's motivation.
SCP Foundation: Open confrontation. The Foundation considers him a threat, tries to detain and investigate him, and Simon tries to prevent the Foundation from hiding the truth about the anomalies.

History
It all started in May 2007, when a user with the pseudonym Moto42 posted a fictitious document on the /x/ forum of 4chan, a safety manual for SCP-173. This facility was the first in the project. Over time, a whole community of authors has formed around him, creating stories in the genre of pseudo-documentary science fiction and horror. In 2008, the main website of the project appeared and began to develop, where texts by different authors were accumulated.
Goals and objectives
In the artistic world of the project, the Foundation is a secret organization that:
Seeks out and captures anomalous objects, creatures, places, and phenomena.
He studies them to understand nature and develop methods of safe keeping.
Contains objects, providing them with reliable conditions that will prevent a threat to humanity or the "normalcy" of the world.
Hides its very existence and the existence of anomalies from the rest of the world to avoid panic and chaos.
To do this, the Fund is endowed with appropriate powers from the majority of the Earth government.
The
structure of the Foundation is divided into many departments and divisions, each of which specializes in certain aspects of work. Among the key ones:Administrative Services,
led by the O5 Council, provides overall management, finances, and key communications facilities.
The scientific service is engaged in the study of objects, the development of countermeasures and the creation of equipment.
Mobile Task Forces (MTFs) are elite units for special missions.
The Department of External Relations (DE) is responsible for disinformation, the destruction of traces of the Foundation's activities, and the recruitment of personnel.
The Department of Internal Security (EDS) identifies traitors within the organization.
The medical service supports the health of employees.

What is inside the universe
Objects. Each is assigned a unique number (SCP-XXX) and class. Main Classes:
"Safe" – Fairly well studied or do not exhibit anomalous effects without an external stimulus.
"Euclid" - insufficiently studied or initially unpredictable, reliable content is not always possible.
"Keter" are hostile, their maintenance is associated with great difficulties and costs.
Thaumiel - Used by the Foundation to contain or counter other high-risk anomalies (information about them is classified).
There are others: "Apollyon" (impossible to contain, threat of the end of the world), "Archon" (content is theoretically possible, but impractical), "Ticonderoga" (impossible or impractical to contain due to ubiquity), "Reasonable" (anomalous is explained by science), "Neutralized" (lost anomalous properties), "Decommissioned" (intentionally destroyed or deprived of properties).
For clarity, the "box rule" is sometimes used: if you put an object of the "Safe" class in the box and put it away, nothing will happen; with Euclid, behavior is unpredictable; and with the Keter, destruction will certainly begin after that.
Structure and characters. The lore has various Foundation services (security, research, medicine), as well as influential bodies such as the O5 Council (the highest governing body) and the Ethics Committee. A special mention should be made of D-Class personnel - these are people (often sentenced to death) who are used for risky experiments with objects.
Events. In the lore, there are references to large-scale incidents (e.g., "K-Class Events") when an anomaly leads to serious consequences.

That the
SCP Foundation is a fictional secret organization that searches, studies, and isolates anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. Anomalies can be objects with inexplicable properties, strange creatures, paranormal phenomena, or even entire phenomena that violate the laws of physics.
The acronym SCP itself has two decipherments:
Secure, Contain, Protect - reflects the mission of the organization.
"Special Containment Procedures" is the name of the documents that are written within the framework of the project.
At the same time, the SCP Foundation is also a real Internet project of collective creativity. Thousands of authors around the world write articles and stories styled as internal Foundation documentation, with object numbers (SCP-XXX), classes, containment logs, and links to other articles.
History
It all started in 2007 on the "paranormal" forum of the 4chan resource. An anonymous user under the pseudonym Moto42 posted a text with "special containment procedures" for SCP-173 (a concrete sculpture that moves when no one is looking at it). The publication was a success, and other authors began to create their own anomalies.
In January 2008, an independent wiki based on the EditThis platform was created to organize the materials. And in July of the same year, the project moved to Wikidot — this gave more opportunities for community development and moderation.
