Hello! Welcome to the Otherside Organization! The world's leading research organization for the Supernatural! We pride ourselves on searching the unsearchable, keeping the unkeepable, and knowing the unknowable!
Founded by an independent group of supernatural cryptid hunters in unison with varying supernatural groups (and by our very generous chief administrator), Otherside was once a lesser-known research organization for occult activity before becoming integrated within numerous government systems.
Otherside's current objective is to gather any/all supernatural objects/persons for study, but depending on how useful the person is, they are also often integrated within the organization in varying roles!

Containment Instructions: OSE-001 is to be kept in the office of the Chief Administrator and used only by authorized personnel of the Otherside Organization to contain their most important articles. Access to the entity will be granted with proper authorization from either them or the Zodiac Council.
Entity Overview: OSE-001 refers to a standard 3-drawer filing cabinet as seen in typical office spaces. Kept within the drawers are a series of articles dedicated to proposals for the āTrueā OSE-001 as nominated by higher-ranking organization staff.
The decision to submit multiple OSE-001 proposals was made as a means to mitigate in-fighting within the organization's ranks. As such, this document will be visible to the broader organization; however, specific proposals themselves will only be accessible to their appropriate rankings and will be treated as separate documents.
Current Proposals:
A Single Spark (Picketās Proposal) (Coming Soon)
Pictured: Picket Polecat, an instance of OSE-243-Sagittarius
Containment Difficulty: Med (Assist/Lucid)
Containment Instructions: Due to a bipartisan agreement between the US Military and Otherside, all sapient beings created by OSE-243 have been granted civilian status and will be treated as such by both parties. OSE-243 itself will be decommissioned, and all anomalous technologies found within it will be integrated into the organization.
Entity Overview: OSE-243 is the now-defunct genetic engineering center, ZODIAC (Note: Despite sharing a name, there's no relation to the Otherside's own Zodiac Council). Investigations into ZODIAC have revealed that the various anomalies there have been deemed impossible to explain using conventional science and are classified as supernatural; however, due to the heavy disclosure and coverage of the subject by the media, covering up OSE-243 has since been deemed impossible.
Known entities created by ZODIAC:
OSE-243-Aries: Human/Animal hybrids (since classified as āSaytrsā for simplicity) of varying types, many have since integrated into the Otherside Organization. Noteworthy traits include the torso/head/upper arms of humans and the legs/ears/tails/forearms of said animals. Traits seem to vary depending on the animal used.
OSE-243-Taurus: Human/Bovine Hybrids (Since classified as āMinotaursā for simplicity), appear to have been made as a proof of concept for the OSE-243-Aries. Noteworthy traits appear to be the torso/head/arms of humans and the legs/ears/tails/horns of a Bovine. Both sexes appear to have a more muscular physique, though females appear to have above-average breast size and a higher lactation rate, despite confirmation of all instances of OSE-243-Taurus being sterile
OSE-243-Gemini: Varying devices used for cultivating other instances of OSE-243 entities. While tech for cultivation has been deemed non-anomalous, the resources required have origins within otherworld magics.
OSE-243-Cancer: Human/Crustation Hybrids (Classified as āCancersā), Noteworthy traits include a human head/torso with the lower body/legs/Arms of an unidentified species of Crab. Other noteworthy traits seem to include an extra pair of eyes on eye-stalks on top of their heads, and high durability
OSE-243-Leo: Varying medical notes/research from the late Eidolon, Sekhmet. Itās unknown how these came into ZODIACās possession, nor how they were translated, though itās theorized that there were connections to Agent āāāāāāās past that caused the circulation of the notes (See interview logs)Ā
OSE-243-Vigro: Two types of female-only Human/Avian hybrids (Classified as āHarpiesā and āHentaursā respectively). The first (Harpies) are humanoids with the head/torso of a human, and the Arms(Wings)/Legs/Tailfeathers of an unidentified species of falcon. The second (Hentaur) seems to simply be humanoids with human upper bodies attached to the lower bodies of an unidentified species of Chicken. Traits shared by both are hair seemingly replaced with feathers and the ability to lay eggs, though eggs laid by Hentaurs seem to explode if left unattended or thrown (Note: refrigerating or fertilizing said eggs does seem to mitigate this)
OSE-243-Libra: Assorted bureaucratohazardous documents used to obtain funding and resources for ZODIAC. Said hazards were ultimately dismantled successfully by Othersideās legal department.
OSE-243-Scorpio: Two Types of Human/Arachnid Hybrids (Classified as āDridersā and āGirtabliluā respectively). The First (Driders) are humanoids with the upper bodies of humans and the lower bodies of an unknown species of Spider. Other features include an extra set of eyes and greyish skin. The Second (Girtablilu) are humanoids with the upper bodies of a human and the lower bodies/arms of an unidentified species of Scorpion.
OSE-243-Sagittarius: Varying creatures of either animals who have anthropomorphic upper bodies with the lower halves of their non-anthropomorphic counterparts or humanoids who have human upper bodies with quadripedal animal lower bodies/ears (Classified as āTaursā and āCentaursā respectively).
OSE-243-Capricorn: A basic Chimera that was used for study, allegedly to bypass complications with reproduction among other creations.
OSE-243-Aquarius: Humanoid entities with the upper bodies of humans, along with the lower bodies and eyes of an unidentified species of snake (Classified as āNagasā).
Researcher Note: It should be mentioned that despite the similarities, these creatures differ from the Serpent folk counterparts, who have reptilian upper bodies, so itās advised not to mistake the two.Ā
OSE-243-Pisces: Humanoid entities with the upper bodies of humans, along with the lower bodies of an unidentified species of fish (classified as āMerfolkā).

Three serpent folk scientists connected to the Body Artists (a group of interest founded by the late Typhon and Echidna. Research into their history is likely needed) had been captured and detained by the Otherside organization. Said scientists have been given the designation OSE-243-Oroboros. Due to a connected history, Anastasia has volunteered to integrate one of their members. The following are the interview logs between the two:
ā Interview Log ā
Anastasia: Well, itās not every day we manage to find living members of an ancient breeding cult, let alone the SAME ones responsible for MY creation all those years ago.
OSE-243-Oroboros: Ah, I thought you looked familiar. Howās the family, little Ana?
Anastasia: Still dead, I was the White Armyās only āsuccess storyā for what good it did them. Regardless, I take it you still go by āDr. Sukkubā, or is it-
OSE-243-Oroboros: Lamia, actually
Anastasia: Ah, so youāre no longer hiding it
Lamia: You already got my associates and me in custody, so thereās not much of a point now, is there?
Anastasia: I suppose not, especially since we found Sekhmetās research while seizing your lab.
Lamia: She did contribute a lot to our projects, but I suppose you wouldnāt know a whole lot about that, now would you?
Anastasia: ā¦I know enough that the research wasnāt meant for human use, let alone to help them create artificial eidolons. What was the motive?
Lamia: ā¦When humans discovered the bomb, we all thought humanityās time was limited, just one bad day, and EVERYTHING would go up in smoke. But that time never came; humans were too scared to use the very death gods they created.
Anastasia: So you thought an arms race with Eidolons would kill them faster? I bet the surviving pantheons would be laughing right now if that wasnāt so pathetic.
Lamia: You gravely underestimate what this means for humanity. They only had to deal with tanks and guns before; now they have access to what are effectively tanks and guns with an equal sapience as them.
Anastasia: You act as if thatās new for them
Lamia: Given the lack of knowledge on Eidolons as of late, it may as well be
ā End Log ā
Update: A note from one of the Zodiac Council members has been attached to this document
āWith the capture of Lamia and her words, itās naive to assume that just locking all or simply integrating all of the OSE-243 instances would make this all go away. Anastasia theorises that Sekmetās research has been circulating in and out of the otherworld for well over a century now, and with biological research being far better now than it has ever been, whatās stopping every other nation from just bypassing our organization and making their own artificial Eidolons? Especially now that itās been proven to be more than possible with a simple genetics lab and minor government funding?
Itās a rare consensus, but a majority of us within the A Rank, along with Victor himself, had ultimately come to the same conclusion: We canāt keep this secret anymore.ā - ZC-4

Administrator:
Victor Montauk (AKA: OSE-001-SUPERBIA) - The Leader of Otherside, said to have knowledge of how most entities work dating back to the times of creation
Rank A:
The Zodiac Council: A group of twelve who seem to have power over the inner workings of Otherside. Not much is known about this group as only Rank A or Higher are privy to their activities. It's a rare occurrence to have all members meet at once due to each member being designated to a specific site.
The Suits: A group of five randomly-picked individuals who have been given equal power to the Zodiac Council. Unlike the Zodiac, they are actually more known among the lower ranks. They act as the Ethics Committee of Otherside, ensuring any orders from the Zodiac Council do as little damage as possible.
Public Relations (New): A recently-minted branch after OSE-243 caused a broken veil scenario. This branch consists of one Zodiac member, one Suit member, and Victor himself. It's through this branch ((RMBL PAK)) was formed.
Rank B:
Head Researchers: Leaders the research teams within Otherside, they often are put in charge of multiple anomalies at once, depending on whether or not a connection can be found between them
Hunters: The private militia of Otherside, they often take care of retrieving artifacts, detaining criminal Eidolons, and destroying more dangerous threats such as Demons. It's highly recommended to have at least one Eidolon on a hunting team.
Wardens: Keepers of containment sites for artifacts and dangerous supernatural threats. These tend to be extremely powerful Eidolons.
Rank C:
Researchers: Scientists in charge of researching the traits/behaviors of the supernatural.
Agents: Average people in charge of investigating reports of supernatural happenings. They only get involved directly in emergencies.
Guards: Assists Wardens in maintaining containment sites, which tend to be less powerful eidolons or average humans.
Rank D:
Fodder: Prisoners who wound up selected for entity testing. This is not a rank you want to be in.

Lore: "I have gone by many names throughout the centuries. Watcher, Traveler, The Witness of History. The Achaeans called me Seramedes. But in my homeland, I was called Seratsu.
I was born 3000 years ago in Nippon. As the first humans came to the land, my gaze turned outward. Curious. Against the wishes of my brethren, I set out to see the wide wide world. Watching Humanity grow in number, civilizations rise and fall. I have witnessed the Trojan War, the Persian expansion, the rise of great men. You could say it never got boring. It wasn't until the early 15th century when a priest, out of some misunderstanding, sealed me in a box. There I would be stuck for 600 or so years until I was finally freed by a curious museum worker.
Now I stand free once again. Here to see how the world has changed and bear witness to the worlds created by others. And I wish to share that with all of you. Will you join me on my journey?"

Lore: At an unknown date (rough est. the early 2000s), a company made Taurs of various types under a military contract. The said contract fell through after drone warfare was deemed cheaper, so now the numerous taurs that were made were immediately deemed obsolete from the get-go. Unable to dispose of them due to an unrelated PR disaster within the government, Taurs were given citizenship status (though a few did ultimately see military use).
Cut to the present day, Picket barely remembers much of what happened during his creation and decides to start a streaming career. Currently lives in a flat with two (three?) other Taurs.
