> The FFOS motto

> "In any organization, even one as competent and regimented as the FFOS. Problems most typically arise due to human error. People make mistakes, forget things, become complacent or any number of other things that can result in things going wrong. This is the way things have been for thousands of years and despite this issue humans have continued marching ahead. In the case of the FFOS though, mistakes cost lives often many of them and in some cases potentially all of them"

The **Federal Foundation of the Occult and Supernatural**, commonly abbreviated **The FFOS**, is the an organization dedicated to containing anything they deem anomalous.

## Overview

The FFOS is in responsible for tracking down and confining individuals, entities, locations, and aspects which break natural law. The bulk of works on the FFOS Database (also known as the Almanac) are "Standard Containment Measures": organized internal documentation that specifies an Article of Interest and the ways of keeping it confined. The existence of AOIs and the FFOS is withheld from the public to prevent mass panic and to allow civilization to function normally. When an AOI is discovered or theorized, the Foundation deploys agents known as hunters to confirm. When the AOI is confirmed, The Gatherer division is sent either to collect and transport the AOI to a Foundation facility. For the most part, the primary facility that AOIs are sent to are the Headquarters (Site-0). If an AOI is too widespread, elusive, or otherwise inaccessible, containment consists of suppressing all knowledge of the Article from the masses. Once AOIs are contained, they are studied by Foundation scientists. Subjects acquired by the Foundation are used to interact with dangerous AOIs due to the danger posed by those AOIs and the expendability of the subjects.

The Foundation keeps documentation for all AOIs in its possession, which might contain or link to associated reports and data. These publications define the AOIs and provide advice for properly containing them.

## History

The Foundation's founding is a long complicated story. Created after the Old Hunters temporarily disbanded, R, also known as Doctor R, created the Hunter Corps. After finding the AOI-LOI-001 (SPACE-TIME INTERSECTION), R created the "Hunters Initiative" in 1962. The first iteration of it. This Foundation ran till 1994 until November 3. Day of the Dark Sun. Everyone in the foundation was killed apart from R. He left, leaving the HQ and going to England to live.

Many years later. 2001, R was approached by a mysterious figure. Telling him to set up another foundation. R went back, leaving his orphanage full of children and estate. R remade the Foundation, and the rest is history.
