|-|"The Outsider", or "The Ordinary."=
== The Outsider, or The Ordinary. ==
Female. Yetian-Fijian descent. Islandian origin. Appearance consistent with recorded age of 53. Carries a walking stick with jade inlays; item's purpose unclear, whether occult or practical.
⠀
O5-9 is one of the most unusual O5s, for an oddly mundane reason: she appears to have been inducted directly into the Overseer Council from the public sector.
⠀
The reason for her recruitment is unknown, given her complete lack of previous SDS Foundation experience. Formerly ███████████████████, a noted geologist, she was inducted shortly after retracting a major publication and resigning in scandal. Stated reason for the retraction was scientific misconduct including fabrication of data, but the scandal was more likely a SDS Foundation cover-up: the few available fragments of the retracted publication suggest that Taylor had discovered several geological and geophysical anomalies, and was developing a general theory of their function.
⠀
Strong advocate for research of anomalous phenomena, including those with SDS designations; possible ally of O5-2 ("The Gardener"). Apparently partially responsible for allowing the recent dramatic expansion of the SDS Foundation's classified technical journals (a project apparently spearheaded by Regional Director ████████████████████████, if rumor is correct). Goals appear to include the development of a general explanatory theory for anomalous phenomena.
⠀
O5-9's unusual circumstances have led to a large number of contradictory reports. As far as I can tell, she replaced or superseded a prior O5-9 ("Misfortune").
⠀
It's said her appointment barely passed, with a Council vote of 7 to 6. At least three votes swung to her side at the last moment. Evidence of tension within Overwatch?
⠀
Of note: Many sources claim that O5-9 is personally close with O5-10 ("The Archivist"), but "Legion of Chaos" source claims extreme antagonism. It's doubtful this is a coincidence. The two are intertwined, one way or another. I wouldn't doubt that both claims are true, because both were involved in a certain incident which would be unwise for us to discuss in this forum. One might say I recommend drawing zero conclusions.
|-|"Misfortune"=
== Misfortune ==
Varying age, appearance, etc. Original unknown. Carries a bone-handled knife; obvious occult significance.
⠀
Reputation for being extremely unlucky. Restricted to underwater Foundation facilities. May or may not still hold an Overseer Council position, but certainly plays a role regardless.
⠀
O5-9's personality is based in SDS-███-█. Original version attempted to replicate SDS-███ — successfully. However, SDS-███-█ only holds the memories, experiences, and personality of O5-9 up until his first █████.
⠀
When O5-9 is killed — and he has been killed several times — he is "reset". After each death, he has to be informed of events that took place after the time of his first death.
⠀
Possibly replaced by another O5-9, "The Outsider". Reports claim his removal state that it was not voluntary, and was caused by one or more of the following:
*a series of repeated 'resets' rendering him useless
*corruption or damage to SDS-███-█ causing personality damage
*Resistance to any form of change after being reset repeatedly
*Inability to change with the times due to being reset repeatedly
*Refusal to make use of his vote during an incident in which it was vital post-reset
⠀
Which is most likely is unclear.
|-|"The Lovers", or "Willow"=
== The Lovers, or Willow ==
Both: Male. European/African descent. Abardean origin. Appear to be mid-30's; actual ages unknown. No unusual appearance, except that they are relatively similar in appearance (while apparently unrelated).
⠀
O5-9 is two people sharing the same position. They appear to be lovers. They change positions regularly, with one playing the role of bodyguard/"assistant" to the other.
⠀
O5-9 plays a "support" role within the Foundation. Primarily, O5-9 handles feeding the SDS Foundation. They generally have a hand in procuring mass amounts of food via ordinary methods, and their staff cover it up. But they don't limit themselves to non-anomalous means. Reports also abound of vast anomalous fields growing food to feed Foundation personnel, and entire rivers created in certain remote areas of countries to produce water.
|-|"Out-of-Place"=
== Out-of-Place ==
Male. Luxurian descent. Fluent in English, French, Dutch, and Afrikaner. Appears to be about 50. Formerly affiliated with the Africa Expeditionary Force, the NLE Military Group sent to Africa. Signatory of the █████████████████ Convention.
⠀
Professes irritation towards his employment under Peppa Pig. Frequently rotates residence between multiple locations within Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Luxurian Hongerswak and Luxurian Abard. Perhaps to deter spies?
⠀
Prompted the Overseer Council to declassify a previous iteration of SDS-████.
⠀
Holds great interest towards the concept of "anchoring reality". Sets aside a trust fund to research on counter-ontokinetic stratagems, essentially leading to the discovery of Humes. Preparation against ontokinetic threat?
|-|"The Secret Keeper"=
== The Secret Keeper ==
Male. Caucasian descent. Yetian origin. Confirmed to be between the age of 45 to 51. No unusual appearance.
⠀
The title of O5-9 is passed down to any individual that holds the title of the Director of the Intelligence Agency. It is unknown how many personnel have held the title of O5-9. Records have indicated that the Overseer council has indicted and removed at least one person from the title, for gathering too much information on other council members.
⠀
O5-9 is tasked with keeping the Intelligence Agency in line, and has been known to actively participate in mission regarding new or unknown GoIs, specifically with the "Unified Academy of Thaumatology".
|-|"The Oracle"=
== The Oracle ==
Female. Caucasian descent. Polish origin. Age between 29 and [REDACTED]. No unusual appearance, with the exception of anomalously red irises.
⠀
Foundation thaumaturgy and theology specialist, recruited from an outside cult solely to obtain information about a Level XII Diefic Entity it worshipped. Directly involved in the ███████████████ case. Proven to be a traitor in 285 by taking control over the SDS Foundation in an attempt to murder the rest of the Overseer Council and then putting the blame on a personal enemy of hers. Later revealed to be the result of a non-anomalous human thaumaturge named ██████████████████████ coming into contact with the previously mentioned deity. Dead following direct contact with the rest of the god.
⠀
Current position remains vacant.
