Horizon Initiative

The Horizon Initiative (GoI-16) is a religious alliance between three representatives of the Abrahamic religions and several other classic religions, such as Eastern religions and the New Path, formed from the tenements of the Initiative. The Initiative's main goal is to collect anomalous objects and artifacts, utilizing these relics to shape the world around them and become closer to God.
In addition, the Initiative combined the works of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity to create the Universal Texts. With this, they seek to find more religious texts that confine to their worldview to add to the Texts. However, for organizations that do not fit, such as the Fifthist Church, the Church of the Broken God, Sarkic Cults, or the Church of the Second Hytoth, the Initiative seeks to utterly annihilate these groups for their heathenry; this is mainly spurred by Project Malleus leader Henry DeMontfort.
However, the Initiative has a relatively amiable relationship with the SCP Foundation, the Global Occult Coalition, and Marshall, Carter and Dark, Ltd, and an outright friendly status with the Serpent's Hand and the Manna Charitable Organization.
==History==
=== Origins===
The Horizon Initiative was founded in the late 1960s CE by three representatives from three sects of the Abrahamic religions: the Islamic Attiba al-Kitab, the Jewish Sons of Shammai, and the Christian Ordinis Occulti Luminis, as well as many other representatives from different sects and religions.Horizon Initiative Hub
===Golden Age of Demonics===
The Horizon Initiative was one of many groups during the Golden Age of Demonics that opposed the use of demonic technology in everyday life, predicting terrible events to come that were ultimately dismissed. This eventually became true, as demons rebelled against their masters; this ultimately ended the Golden Age.A Brief Explanation of Demonics
===Development of the Hoffman PETU ===
In a grant request for the Hoffman Portable Electro-Thaumic Unit, it was proposed that the device could be sold to the Initiative, the SCP Foundation, the Catholic Church, and the Global Occult Coalition.GRANT REQUEST FOR UTILIZATION OF ELECTRO-THAUMIC COMPUTERS TO PERFORM EXORCISMS OF DEMONIC ENTITIES
==Organization==
The organization for the Initiative is relatively straightforward, having a council of sorts and three corps.
*The Tribunal - Council of the Horizon Initiative, composed of a representative from each of the founding sects: Samuel of the Sons of Shammai, Adnan of the Attiba al-Kitab, and Bernard of the Ordinis Occulti Luminis. The Tribunal is a relatively fragile alliance, with the radical Samuel and the pacifistic Adnan being kept in check by the neutral Bernard.
*Scribe Corps - Support staff of the Horizon Initiative. Much of the Scribe Corps consists of researchers and archivists who dedicate their lives to studying artifacts recovered by them other two Corps. Currently, they're focusing their efforts on the Universal Texts, hoping to unite the bickering Initiative together under one holy book.
*Shepherd Corps - The Horizon Initiative's operatives in the field. Most are undercover and planted within communities with the goal of providing intelligence and spreading the good word of the Texts. They generally operate in pairs of two, under the jurisdiction of the District Head of the Corps. Shepherds use anomalous items in their work, taking advantage of their properties in combat or research.
*Project Malleus - Known as the Wolves, Project Malleus is the combat arm of the Initiative. They are composed of the most zealous members in the Initiative, led by Henry DeMontfort. Malleus is responsible for most of the offensive attacks from the Initiative, typically aimed at anomalous religious groups. They have a strong rivalry with the Shepherd Corps, and are treated with distrust by the other Corps due to their unpredictable and intimidating nature.
===Locations===
There are Horizon Initiative bases in all major countries. There are Horizon Initiative bases in the United States, Russia, France, Italy, Germany, Finland, Mexico, Japan, China, India and Thailand. Since the Horizon Initiative actively cooperates with the United Nations, their bases are protected and disguised as government facilities.
