Sepia Device Description: Sepia Device: Has The Ability To Remove Anomalous Properties From Anomalous Objects, Entities Or Beings. How This Device Works Is Unknown But It Is Believed To Rival The Foundation And GOC In Terms Of Technological Advancement.

Only Able To Remove Properties From Randomly Spawning Anomalies ( The Orb, 016, Spaz Anomaly Etc), The Produce Of These Anomalies ( 016-2 , Orb Anomalies) And Other GOI Anomalies (CotBG COG, Chicago Drug Users, Sarkic 2191, if used on a Sarkic cultist, volutaar or karcist however, the subject will instead die.)

NOTES

How we differentiate from the GOC:

While you all may think that SEPIA is simply a GOC copy, you may be right, you're not entirely wrong. But that doesn't mean this one will function the same, there was 1 flaw we can all agree upon in GOC where there first thought they had when spotting an anomaly was to simply destroy it. However SEPIA don't instantly nuke every teleporting chair they find, instead Anomalies they do see will be captured. Then they will attempt to remove its anomalous property entirely and release it. For example you captured an anomalous humanoid who has pyrokinetic powers. The Sepia SWEP will have it be used on him for about 1 whole minute. This will return him to a normal human being, his memory will be wiped and then he shall be set free back into society. Over all yes it may seem like GOC but SEPIA actually does something with the anomalies they get other than just keeping them in a cell and then shooting them 10 min later. If they recovered an anomalous object like the 016, 005 or the Armour cog etc. They can render it a normal object again then leave it. This will cause other GOIs to attempt to get these anomalies before SEPIA gets there hands on them.

Why we wish to add SEPIA:

Another main reason we wish to add this GOI is because we believe that the surface at the moment has a huge gap in its food chain. By which we mean that the GOI's have almost free reign of the surface and no one can really stand up to them, and if they can, the foundation doesn't try that much, so we intend on adding a GOI that can cause some sort of conflict, hopefully giving other GOIs a consistent enemy on surface as SEPIA will also be friendly with the foundation, because as we all know the foundation is strong defensively but on the offensive side they are lacking, so we hope this will sort of provide some competition to fix this, hopefully you agree as well.

LORE

 

[IC LORE] 
   Unintelligible murmuring fills the room, footsteps can be heard in the hallway before before a man in a fully black suit swings the door open and steps into view

Stranger: "Alright. Settle down everyone and pay attention."

   Murmuring continues

Stranger: "That means shut the fuck up, NOW!"

   His booming voice rattles in the operatives skulls and they snap their heads to the front of the room

Stranger: ***sigh*** "You would *think* that a covert operations team would be able to listen the first time. Let this be a warning now, the operation you're about to be briefed on is of the upmost importance, if you fuck around in this city like you are now, for even a second, it will surely be a death sentence. Now listen carefully. My name is Agent Fulcrum, and you gentlemen have all been hand selected to carry out this operation, designated DEADZONE

   Agent Fulcrum swaps the slide on the projector

Agent Fulcrum: "This, is Ovis City, looks like a regular old place doesn't it, nothing unusual here is there? Well. You know that's not true, otherwise you wouldn't be here right now would you? This entire city is a problem, the whole thing, is one extremely large anomaly, with smaller pockets of unrelated anomalous activity spread throughout it. The anomalous properties of this city must be cleansed at all costs."

   Next slide
 

Agent Fulcrum: "Description; Ovis City's anomalous properties consist of some sort of resurrection ability, when people that reside within this city expire, their bodies are, as you would expect, are resurrected by this force after an average time of 5 minutes, this varies from time to time however, and they have no recollection of any life events that happened to them, the only thing they remember is their lingual and practical skills, all of their other memories are seemingly...replaced by false events that never truly happened, and the revived subjects are none the wiser to this effect. Now. I know this sounds trivial to you men doesn't it? You gentlemen may be asking between yourselves,"Why were we hand selected for this? It's child's play" Lord have mercy upon those who think this way, while cleansing the city might *seem* like a simple task, it is to be told to you men that we are NOT the only ones aware of these properties.

   Next slide

Agent Fulcrum: "Inside the city, we have detected and confirmed the presence of **The Chaos Insurgency**, their motivations are not totally know, but the insurgency doesn't just show up in places without a reason, as is their nature of using the anomalous to "strengthen humanity". We believe their intentions are to harvest the resurrection abilities of the city for their own use, but this is just a theory we have. Ontop of the insurgency, we also have satellite images of these. 

   The projector slide changes, showing an eagle eye view of a Sarkic Kiraak

Agent Fulcrum: "You boys know what this is?"

Operative #1: "Jesus Christ, Is that a meat pile?"

Operative #2 "It looks like a mound of bodies."

Agent Fulcrum: "Anyone else wish to take a guess? no? alright. You're both wrong."

   The slide changes to a body camera snapshot
 

Agent Fulcrum: "this is a tree of flesh, in case you aren't aware, these are typically produced by another GOI we believed to be residing within the city, known as the Sarkic Cults, up until recently, we were not sure if this had something to do with the city's anomalous property or if we indeed had a Sarkic cell, the people who are involved have manipulation over flesh and are able to change their physiology at will, we sent a scout into the city with a body camera to observe this cultist cell, these are the final moments his body camera picked up before we lost contact. "

   Agent Fulcrum walks out of the way, turning off the lights and switching slides, starting up a video clip on the projector, showing the time [23:37], date [17/5/20], and agent codename [Agent Phantom]

Agent Phantom: "Control, this is Agent Phantom, i'm closing in on the target area. Over."

SEPIA Command: "Copy that Phantom, switch to Infra-Red vision and remain watch your surroundings. Over"

   After a period of silence, the Kiraak comes into view on Phantoms body camera, away from the tree there are 3 figures in robes, surrounding a bound civilian and chanting

Agent Phantom: "Control, are you seeing this? Over."

   Radio Static and the body camera footage begins to scramble slightly

Agent Phantom: "Control, the tree is in sight, possible hostiles also in the surrounding are-"

   The heavy footsteps of an extremely large creature charging are heard out of view, closing in on Phantom extremely fast

Agent Phantom: "W-WHAT THE FUCK?!"

   Phantoms rifle comes into view before opening fire, dumping his magazine into the charging creature as the bullets ricochet off of its heavy bone armour plating

Agent Phantom: "CONTROL! CONFIRMED SARKIC ACTIVITY, SEND THE CLEANSERS! G-GAH! NO! LET GO OF MEEE!"

   Phantom is grabbed by the head and lifted off the ground by the creature, writhing and kicking in pain as he attempts to escape its grasp, the creature brings its face into view of the camera, letting out a deafening roar as it throws phantom to the ground, looming over him before it begins to pummel into the ground repeatedly, its claws becoming bloody as blood, guts and other viscera are flying into the air as Phantom is painfully ripped to shreds alive, screaming and gargling on his own blood before the video feed pauses on the Abominations face

   Agent Fulcrum steps back into view

Agent Fulcrum: "This is what we are up against, its unknown just how many of these are within the city, you will need this device on your mission.

   Agent Fulcrum picks a brief case off the ground, opening it to reveal its contents, a small, seemingly harmless olive green metal box

Agent Fulcrum: "This is a SEPIA Device, it will remove the anomalous nature of any item it is placed upon and render it neutralised, field and lab testing have shown promising results, its *almost* 100% effective against any anomaly, especially humanoid anomalies and objects with anomalous properties. *almost* is a key work here. it was discovered that members of the Sarkic cults that can transform their physiology, like the one behind me, perish after coming into contact with the machine and having their power stripped, almost like its what is keeping them alive, this is a crucial piece of information, as it will be easier to strip these fleshy bastards of their powers rather than shooting them, you saw what little damage bullets did to that thing.

Agent Fulcrum: "you will not be alone, inside the city in an unknown location, there is an foundation site who are also working on containing the city and eliminating the threats inside it, if you can establish contact with them, they are sure to aid us."
 

   An alarm sounds in the halls and a woman's voice is heard over the intercom system

Intercom system: "Cleansing team Omega, Bay 5 is ready for Departure."

Agent Fulcrum: "That sounds like your queue. This briefing is over. Gear up and get ready men, you leave at 15 hundred hours."

 

[OOC LORE] 
SEPIA is a highly organized, covert operations organisation with unknown origin and unknown funding, they posses highly advanced technology, using only the most cutting edge equipment to help them achieve their goal of an anomaly-free world, using their tactics and equipment to destroy any opposition who may use the anomalous entities of the world for their own gains such as the Chaos Insurgency. Their view of the anomalous is almost similar to the Global Occult Coalition, but their methods of handling these types of entities are almost polar opposites. Their goals regarding these anomalous entities, and some times logged SCP objects, is to remove there their anomalous property entirely rendering the object neutralised while fully intact, as they see the anomalous in general as a corruption, simply plaguing humanities evolution by the gods, attempting to bend and control humanities evolutionary path in their own way. Not alot of information is known on how they achieve this feat, except for their use of SEPIA DEVICES that can vary in size, from either a pocket device, to sometimes entire machines the size of a semi truck if the situation requires it .They mostly utilize infiltration, espionage and identity warfare but will occasionally go head strong when needed to, such as the current situation in Ovis city regarding the amount of anomalous and GOI activity.

MANAGMENT

All of this is subject to change in the event SEPIA is accepted, especially group managment

Group idea could be better to be honest (especially that heavy, medic, and sniper thing or whatever, just make it a specialist 3 slot job who can choose loadout), not to mention I dont think itll work well (same fate an UIU+GOC), but im not entirely against it, so neutral

 

also sarkic and church owner having management positions is iffy, as they may take the priority over one group than the other, and leave the other one in the dust

The Group Is A Much Needed Mediator On The Surface Keeping The Different GOIs Under Control As Well As Adding A Much Needed Haste On The Surface Rather Than Everyone Just Sitting Back ANd Relaxing Forcing Them To Keep Moving And Being Actively Performing Tasks. Also A Nice Change From Just Adding GOC Back 100 Times.

In Regards To This It Is Not Uncommon For People To Have Management Positions In Multiple Groups, They Do Not Own The Group And Meerly Assist With The Management Of It. If You Check Out The Group Management Spreadsheet You Will See Some Group Owners Be Involved In Multiple Groups As Is Common.

Yes, I know this.  I was simply referring to how they will manage 2 groups that conflict (if this is accepted of course), and may take priority over the other.  I couldn't care less if they managed one group or 10, as that is irrelevant, if not better, as they have more management experience.  However, I still believe that them managing 2 groups which conflict may lead to favoritism.

The point of managment being brought up is an important one, and im glad you decided to bring it up, we infact have plans in place for what will happen to managment if this gets accepted, if, and only if, this becomes a large problem of favouritism towards one group, then personally i plan on leaving sepia managment for sarkics, take this how you will however as im just an internet stranger,  the other 2 have plans in place for managment too if this gets accepted, however it is not within my place to site these decisions until the job possibly gets accepted, we did discuss amongst us that people may have a problem with sarkic AND church managment running another GOI and taking this into account we have contingency plans in place, i do thank you for the feedback

Honestly putting Viper in charge of anything is bound for it to die, especially so with things like GOC copies.

[bucks00001 4]

Neutral

Yeah good idea but then again it should have less slots like 3 or maybe 4, as it has heavy weapons that can deal a lot of damage. There's also Harrow23 which strengthens the foundation, and with the goi's being nerfed it would be too OP as it is, however it is a good idea and it could work just less firepower please.

A group thats friendly to Foundation will be nice atleast, instead of all hostile to foundation.
Managers are all mature atleast. 
Perhaps some loadout changes for balancing, but seems fine as is IMO- Especially compared to current GOI loadouts. 

[Shadow 103]

Would love it

Does the server need it? No

The server is already TDM. If you add this it will be even more just with extra foundation units lol

 

Fix the TDM happening on the surface and then add this

Bootleg GOC. Also as plague said, a lot of groups where viper is part of management is destined to die.

The similarities to GOC are on purpose, people keep resuggesting GOC as a surface job but it always gets denied, we made this to appease some of those people and hopefully bring forward more RP with its purpose rather it being just a massive TDM group, despite the weapons and jobs we aim to make this a predominantly passive RP job and there will be rules added to make sure it stays that way, those are there for the purpose of being able to sustain ourselves to some degree with just how powerful some of the surface GOIs are now.

It is Foundation GOC.
The only differences between GOC are that SEPIA is going to bumlick Foundation all the time, participating on raids/defenses n shit (don´t come with the excuse that "We are going to be independent, Foundation won´t control us", because the same shit happened with the last UIU. But can´t wait until a war between SEPIA and Foundation guys!) ; "won´t necessarly destroy anomalies" ; doesn´t have the suits...

If the purpose of the job is to fight and contain anomalies for Foundation, we have Harrow-23 and NU7 for that, so why another "MTF"? 

Bad owner, boring job + no purpose to add this

We aim to be on friendly terms with the foundation, not allied, we can help each other out from time to time but we will not be connected forces 100% of the time  as thats just broken and unfair for any GOI on the receiving end of the raid.

There is no other way to describe this part as, yes, we will be predominately independent and doing our own thing, if push comes to shove we will redo the relation woth foundation to neutral to add another element and avoid the bumlicking (not bumlicking foundation will be in the rules and will result in a tier to prevent this happening).

Regarding job managment, as stated in the thread and in a reply to elk, the managment for this jobn, just like every other aspect of it, is subject to change, we would like to before this gets either accepted or denied, sit in a call with xunt or cale and have a discussion about what we could change to make it more balanced and fun, even if that includes switching 1 or 2 more Hierarchy to make the job the best it can be.

 

These are all valid concerns and im more than happy to address these further if its needed, criticism is necessary to make a group function as it dictates what the best course of action is for it.
