Personnel Summary – Larry Johnson
Codename: 'Cherry'
Current Position: Epsilon-11, Site-65

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Larry Johnson, codenamed “Cherry”, was born on July 26, 2003, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Raised in a lower-income, high-crime neighborhood, Johnson experienced loss and hardship from an early age. His father, a corrections officer, was killed during a prison riot when Larry was 8. His mother, a nurse, worked double shifts to support him and his younger sister. This upbringing forged a hardened sense of self-reliance and an early understanding of violence, order, and survival.

Despite limited access to resources, Johnson excelled in both academics and athletics. He earned a full scholarship to study law, graduating early with high honors. While attending college, he worked part-time as a tactical security consultant for a private corrections firm. His ability to balance legal theory with real-world security operations made him stand out among his peers.

At age 19, Johnson accepted a position as a Lead Captain at a maximum-security prison known for housing dangerous federal inmates and high-risk organized crime affiliates. Within two years, he earned commendations for handling multiple riot situations, de-escalating hostage crises, and personally preventing two attempted prison breaks. During this time, he developed his command style—firm, calculating, and mission-first, with zero tolerance for unnecessary risk or procedural failure.

It was during one of these incidents—an attempted containment of a high-profile inmate with suspected anomalous capabilities—that Johnson caught the attention of SCP Foundation recruitment scouts embedded within the federal corrections system. His refusal to panic under extreme pressure, and his ability to lead a fractured unit through a life-threatening situation, placed him on a short list of potential operatives for special assignment.

Upon recruitment, Johnson underwent a six-month screening and induction process into the Internal Security Department (ISD). There, he worked blacksite intelligence and internal counterinsurgency operations, where he demonstrated an exceptional aptitude for rooting out information leaks and handling compromised personnel. His knowledge of law enforcement structures and tactical containment protocols allowed him to adapt quickly.

He was later transferred into the DEA for the field to deal with surface SCP's and CI, and eventually into the GENSEC Security Department (GSD), where he was assigned to internal facility protection, strategic threat suppression, and high-risk escort operations. Working under GENSEC command, Johnson distinguished himself through his tight operational control, non-lethal takedown expertise, and flawless adherence to Foundation containment protocols. .

During one early mission, Johnson’s team was exposed to an unidentified Class-IV psychic entity. While several members were incapacitated or mentally fractured, Cherry remained lucid and in command, leading to a successful extraction. It was after this event that command noted his unusually high resistance to mental degradation under anomalous exposure, resulting in his transfer to Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox"), the Foundation’s elite rapid-response breach suppression unit.

Rising quickly through the ranks, Johnson was promoted to Lieutenant after successfully leading a live-fire operation to recontain a rogue biohazard SCP during a double-breach event at Site-65. His actions directly prevented the loss of critical infrastructure and the death of several key researchers. Despite sustaining injuries, he refused evac until all personnel were accounted for and site security was restored.

Now stationed at Site-65, Cherry serves as one of the youngest task force lieutenants on record, operating under a command model that blends traditional military discipline with Foundation-level containment strategy. He remains highly respected by subordinates and senior command alike, known for his quiet demeanor, decisive leadership, and unwavering survival instinct.

“Survival isn't luck—it's discipline. It's knowing when to shoot, when to run, and when to stand your ground even when everything says not to.”
