I lament the modern state of the church. No one can fucking settle down in covenant with an honorable fellow Mekhanite anymore. All is abhorrent. Sarkics. Low-ambition amateur bombers with pathetic scruples, and hair-dying practices yet more pathetic. A failure of Protection; MEKHANE hates us all, and it is earned. –O5-1

FOR THE LAST TIME

👏 APOSTASY is the rejection of a faith after having professed it;

👏 HERESY is selective belief in only some of the tenets of a faith one professes, or belief in tenets contrary to those of a faith one professes;

👏 BLASPHEMY is derogation of the honour due to God.

👁️ and 📦 for O5-7 :]]

👁️ EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical...)?: Oh, about that. Technically, as a shapeshifter, Seven could take on any form they wanted, but they always seem to have roughly the same eyes regardless of any other physical alterations. On paper, their eyes are brown, and that’s a close enough description to avoid eliciting too many questions, but if you really pay attention to them, or when the sun hits their eyes just right, you’ll realize they’re actually a shade of yellowish-gold.

📦 PACKAGE - what are some "most likely to..." that can apply to them?: Most likely to win a trivia contest, most likely to get infected by an infohazard and most likely to have an absolutely atrocious sleep schedule (which is impressive considering their competition; none of the O5s really get a lot of sleep)

40 OC Development Questions - Part 2

My previous 40 question ask game has been picking up notes again, and you know what? I love making up these questions so much that I made more. Because why not.

Have some uncommon questions to help with developing your original characters! Feel free to send in some asks with some numbers–pick an oc, or I’ll pick randomly~

Does your oc have dreams or nightmares? What are they like? Is there a recurring one?

How easy to annoy is your oc? Do they have common pet-peeves or are they stoic in response to everything? What is their reaction if the source doesn’t stop?

How does your oc view housework? Do they absolutely hate it? Do they enjoy having their surroundings neat and tidy or do they not notice?

Your oc has to make something for an art exhibition. What would they make? How terrible is it? Would they enjoy making it?

How easily does your oc get attached to things? Does everything have a sentimental value to them, or do they see nothing as more valuable than its practical use? What about with people/animals?

How much has your oc traveled? Why is this? Would they like to travel more? Or are they perfectly fine with staying home?

[parascenium]

THREE, FIVE, SIX, and SEVEN for the respective O5s :]

((ask game))

[THREE] - What is something that gives them grief, or otherwise makes them feel suffering and sorrow?: Three strongly dislikes feeling powerless. Any situation in which she does not have ultimate control will frustrate her to no end, because in her eyes, unpredictable variables are never anything good. Because of this, she always plans for every single possible outcome. Any and all uncertainties must be eliminated as soon as possible. She refuses to leave anything up to chance or—god forbid—fate. (She takes quite the issue with the concept of fate; this often brings her into conflict with Nine, as you’ll later see.)

[FIVE] - Are they competitive? If so, what lengths are they willing to go to in order to win?: Behind that friendly face of Five’s lies the most cutthroat person you’ll ever meet. Manipulation, coercion, and deception are all things he is intimately familiar with. His goal isn’t victory per se, but rather protecting the interests of the Foundation in general, and he will go as far as he needs to in pursuit of it. The Ethics Committee frequently has to intervene and shut down his endeavors. That is to say, the Fire Suppression Department doesn’t exist in this timeline, but if it did, he would have been the first one supporting it.

[SIX] - Is there something they need to "move on" from? If so, is it a specific event or person?: There’s a lot that Six needs to move on from. He made a mistake, once. Back then he was young, naive, and so caught up in the wonders of the anomalous world that he was just discovering for the first time that he didn’t stop to think about the consequences of his actions until it was too late. It was only when people started dying that he realized what he’d made, and by the time he managed to stop it, someone he loved had already been caught in the crossfire. He couldn’t bring himself to make art again after that. He likes to think that it’s all behind him, but in running from it, all he’s done is drag its corpse forwards with him.

[SEVEN] - Are they secretive? If so, what about? Is it something small, or something serious?: It’s quite difficult, I think, to get this high up in the Foundation without harboring a few secrets of your own. Seven isn’t the biggest fan of all the lies and secrecy, but they—often not by choice—have been embroiled in it pretty much their whole life, even before they joined the Foundation. They really only keep big secrets. Their past in the Serpent’s Hand is one (though it’s become more of an open secret among those who know where to look), and they are certainly not above going behind the Council’s backs to pursue their more dubious goals.

[THREE] - What is something that gives them grief, or otherwise makes them feel suffering and sorrow?

[SEVEN, REVERSED] - Do they struggle with imposter syndrome (self-doubt of intellect, skills, or accomplishments among high-achieving individuals or in comparison to their peers)?

[EIGHT] - Have they been in a situation where they've manipulated someone into doing something for them/in their favor?

[EIGHT, REVERSED] - How do they define freedom? Do they feel free in their life, or is something keeping them entrapped?

[NINE] - Are they an anxious person? If so, what makes them feel that way, and how intense do their feelings get?

[KNIGHT] - What is a belief they have that they would "die on that hill" for? Is there anything that could change their mind, or are they steadfast?

[KNIGHT, REVERSED] - Are they good at guessing/predicting how situations/events will turn out?

[QUEEN] - Are they more objective (neutral) or subjective (emotional) when passing judgment?

[QUEEN, REVERSED] - Do they resent anybody? If so, who and why?

[KING] - Do people consider them disciplined, or are they more rebellious?

[KING, REVERSED] - Do they believe social hierarchies are necessary, or do they believe that these systems are tools for control?

Hello and welcome!

This is an SCP oc blog (trying to be an ask/rp blog but i’m not. very good at that) for my version of the O5 council, featuring O5-3 “The Mastermind”, O5-6 “The Wordsmith”, and O5-7 “The Mnemonist”. Further information on my Council can be found here (currently only has 3, 5, 6, and 7, but will be updated later to include more members)

O5-2, -5, -9, and -13 may pop in from time to time as well, though I gotta write dossiers for all of them except for Five first

Ran by @maybemoss! Feel free to send in asks :)

[parascenium]

Characters

O5-3 “The Mastermind” (she/they)

European descent. Appears to be mid-30s. Typically represents the Foundation in negotiations with external parties both above and below the Veil. A notorious schemer. Said to be highly intimidating. Capable of reading people to an astonishing extent, so much so that some say they are able to read minds; while this claim remains unsubstantiated, it is true that they demonstrate extremely extensive knowledge about various Groups and Persons of Interest, whether through anomalous or mundane means.

O5-5 “The Middleman” (he/him)

South Asian descent. Appears to be early-50s. The most commonly-seen member of the O5 Council. Often described as charismatic and kind by those that have met him. Oversees personnel allocation and internal security. A certain source claims that his benevolent reputation is nothing but a fabrication, referring to him as ‘arguably the coldest member of the Council’. Good at getting people to do what he wants, whether they know it or not. Apparently very ruthless when dealing with defectors.

O5-6 “The Wordsmith” (he/him)

African descent. Appears to be in his 40s. A recent addition to the Council. An expert in memetics, particularly infohazards. Has an unusually high Cognitive Resistance Value even for the field. Said to have a flair for the dramatic and a love of art. Supposedly was involved in anomalous art communities in his youth, but later decried the movement and joined the Foundation following a personal tragedy. A remarkably good liar and secret-keeper.

O5-7 “The Mnemonist” (they/them)

Polymorph, appearance varies. Said to be obsessed with knowledge to an almost fanatical extent. Uncannily good memory. Responsible for facilitating communication between the Antimemetics Division and the Foundation at large; additionally also manages the Foundation’s archives, and is one of RAISA’s go-to O5 contacts next to O5-12. Rumors link them to a presumed-deceased informant associated with the Serpent’s Hand. Information on this is exceptionally scarce; antimemetic influence suspected.
