* ThoseWackyNazis: The German Anomalous and Research Division is a group of interest formed during UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo based on the common stereotype that Nazis were [[{{Ghostapo}} highly invested occult research]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to its SCP predecessor, by a long shot; mostly due to RPC's emphasis on more mature, sophisticated storytelling, the overall greater negative vibe of the RPC as an organization, and the main universe itself being depicted as somewhat of a CrapsackWorld. There's also more [[WouldHurtAChild prolicide]] within its fiction.
%%* DePower: Many [=RPCs=] apply to this trope, known in-universe as neutralized anomalies.

* NegativeContinuity: {{Averted}}, unlike its [[Website/SCPFoundation Spiritual Predecessor]]. Theoretically, articles posted to the RPC Wiki maintain a more or less consistent continuity, with some designated [[http://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/non-canon#pages Non-canon]] to indicate they take place outside said limits.

[[https://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/ The RPC Authority]] is a collaborative wiki that focuses on documents, reports, and scientific research on various anomalous entities, objects, areas, events, and so on. RPC stands for Research, Protection, Containment. The [=RPC=] Authority's goal is to capture and research (emphasis on research, hence the title) anomalies to protect the Earth and the rest of the universe and use their research to benefit civilization as a whole. However, the [=RPC=] Authority is willing to commit questionable actions to preserve the safety of civilization and secrecy of the anomalies. To make matters worse, the anomalies are not the only things that the Authority deals with because they also face more dangerous Groups of Interest, like [[EvilutionaryBiologist The Church of Malthus]], [[ThoseWackyNazis the German Anomalous Research Division]], [[RedChina The PCAAO]], and [[TheAlliance UNAAC]].

* AlienGeometry: The Anderson Coherency Scale measures just how 'stable' the Authority would define pocket dimensions to alternate realities. Many can appear dreamlike, or even nightmarish.

* AncientOrderOfProtectors: A monastery on the slopes of smoke-belching Mount Vesuvius were called upon for help to contain the anomalous remenants of the renaissance era since 1514.

* AntiHero: The [=RPC=] Authority is an organization version of this trope. They're willing to sacrifice prisoners called [=CSD=]'s (the [=RPC=] equivalent to the [[Website/SCPFoundation SCP's D-personnel]]) and sometimes animals for either containing or experimenting with the anomalies in order to protect civilian lives.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Many, such as [=RPC=]-[[https://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/rpc-730 730]] mutated witchetty grubs 4cm long with spider like legs and large fangs.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to its SCP predecessor, by a long shot; mostly due to RPC's emphasis on more lowbrow, sophisticated storytelling, the overall greater negative vibe of the RPC as an organization, and the main universe itself being depicted as a CrapsackWorld. There's also more [[WouldHurtAChild prolicide]] within its fiction.

* MirrorUniverse: There is a universe where the Authority (supposedly) become straight up {{Knight Templar}}s and brand themselves as the Righteous Central Protection Authority.

%%* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to its SCP predecessor, by a long shot; mostly due to RPC's emphasis on more lowbrow, sophisticated storytelling, and the community's negative opinion on author avatars and anomalies that are PlayedForLaughs. There's also more [[WouldHurtAChild prolicide]] within its fiction.

* EvilCounterpart: The [[https://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/rcpa-hub Righteous Central Protection Authority]] is an alternate version of the Authority from another universe that activately uses anomalies to ensure their dominance over the world.

* {{Expy}}: Since the site is a [[invoked]]SpiritualSuccessor of the SCP Foundation supposed to take the Foundation back to its roots, it's no surprise that the titular Authority is an expy of the Foundation working in very similar ways.

* GrandTheftMe: [=RPC=]-[[https://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/rpc-134 134]] is a species of Galápagos tortoise that, when certain phrases are spoken near it, transfers the speakers consciousness into the tortoise, leaving their original body brain-dead. Unfortunately, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome tortoise brains aren't exactly capable of higher brain functions such as "sapience"]], so the resulting RPC-134-1 is stripped of any human intelligence.

* CanonImmigrant: [[https://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/rpc-548 RPC-548]], who used to be the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20180606103858/https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1548 original SCP-1548]] before being moved to the RPC site by its author.

* SpacePeople: The main theme of the [[http://rpcauthority.wikidot.com/cosmic-embers-hub Cosmic Embers]] canon, where humanity lives in space.
