Object Classes

Objects of Power, or OoP, is the designation given by the Federal Bureau of Control to mythical and supernatural objects, locations, and phenomena. The Bureau also classifies some mythical beings as Persons of Interest, or POI, and entities are usually classified as Paranatural Entity or PE for their ability to defy known laws of reality.

Overview[]

The Bureau works covertly to avoid detection from powerful PE's that could theoretically wipe it from existence with a single thought, such as the Scarlet King. The OoP has so come to often come into conflict with both the forces of Heaven and Hell in their attempts to maintain a false sense of normalcy among humans, though they also have helped prevent the Apocalypse from taking place on a few occasions thanks to this method.

Object Classes[]

Designated based on the expenses required to contain as well as level of priority and interest among the foundation for the object.

Safe[]

Safe-class OoPs are anomalies that are easily and safely contained. This is often due to the fact that the Bureau has researched the anomaly well enough that containment does not require significant resources or that the anomalies require a specific and conscious activation or trigger. Classifying an OoP as Safe, however, does not mean that handling or activating it does not pose a threat.

Euclid[]

Euclid-class OoPs are anomalies that require more resources to contain completely or where containment isn't always reliable. Usually this is because the Bureau is insufficiently understood or inherently unpredictable. Euclid is the Object Class with the greatest scope, and it's usually a safe bet that an object, entity, or event will be this class if it doesn't easily fall into any of the other standard Object Classes.

As a note, any OoP that's autonomous, sentient and/or sapient is generally classified as Euclid, due to the inherent unpredictability of an object that can act or think on its own.

Keter[]

Keter-class OoPs are anomalies that are exceedingly difficult to contain consistently or reliably, with containment procedures often being extensive and complex. The Bureau often cannot contain these anomalies well due to not having a solid understanding of the anomaly, or lacking the technology to properly contain or counter it. A Keter anomaly does not mean the OoP is dangerous, just that it is simply very difficult or costly to contain.

Thaumiel[]

Thaumiel-class OoPs are anomalies that the FBC specifically uses to contain other anomalies. Even the mere existence of Thaumiel-class objects is classified at the highest levels of the Foundation and their locations, functions, and current status are known to few Foundation personnel outside of the Board.

Neutralized[]

Neutralized OoPs are anomalies that are no longer anomalous, either through having been intentionally or accidentally destroyed, or disabled.

Apollyon[]

Apollyon-class OoPs are anomalies that cannot be contained, are expected to breach containment imminently, or some other similar scenario. Such anomalies are usually associated with world-ending threats or a K-Class Scenario of some kind and require a massive effort from the Foundation to deal with.

Archon[]

Archon-class OoPs are anomalies that could theoretically be contained but are best left uncontained for some reason. Archon anomalies may be a part of consensus reality that is difficult to fully contain or may have adverse effects if put into containment. These OoPs are not uncontainable—the defining feature of the class is that the FBC chooses to not put the anomaly into containment.

Disruption Status[]

Designated based upon ongoing level of disruption the object causes and the reach of its effects.

  • Dark: The known or potential disruption is so low as to not be a concern. The object is essentially inert when not interacted with and may potentially only affect a single individual. The Bureau would find it trivial to clean up after it.
  • Vlam: The known or potential disruption would be localized to a small handful of people. The anomalous effects certainly do affect multiple people, but it would not extend very far. The Bureau would find it relatively simple to neutralize its effects.
  • Keneq: The known or potential disruption would be extended to a number of people roughly defined as a city. The anomalous effects could spread with fairly significant speed, fast enough as to cause concern. The Bureau would find it moderately difficult to neutralize its effects.
  • Ekhi: The known disruption would extend to roughly the size of a large metropolitan area to an entire country. The potential disruption could extend to the entire known world. The spread would be swift and difficult to manage. The Bureau would find it quite difficult to neutralize its effects.
  • Amida: This Disruption Class should be reserved for special circumstances when the Bureau is essentially "declaring war" on an anomaly. When an anomaly poses such a dire threat to the status quo and FBC's veil that there is no other option than to use all possible options in order to Neutralize it. The effects of an Amida anomaly would extend to the entire known world and possibly the entire universe.
