Welcome to Horizons!

Summary

Horizons is an IRC roleplay about the SCP Foundation's efforts to keep control and maintain secrecy in an increasingly complicated world.

The Foundation is recruiting whoever can and will get the job done, and accepts no substitutes.

Site-15

Site-15 is one of the Foundation’s most secure sites, and one of, if not its most advanced. Located underneath the Nevada desert and built in 1954, Site 15 boasts robust labs, secure containment, and miles of empty desert. There are 4 task forces that run joint operations at Site-15, Delta-4 ‘Blue Genes’, Epsilon-9 ‘Tooltime’, Omega-5 ‘Classical Education’, and Psi-7, ‘Home Improvement’.

A Note About Canonicity

This RP does not take place within the same canon as any of the 001 Proposals, or any of the canons that pertain to events involving the Foundation before 1983 (except for the canon of Origins, this RPs predecessor). Numerous elements of this RP will contradict your headcanon, but that's not the point. If you have to consider this an alternate-universe version of the Foundation, do so.

Tone

We’re aiming for a tense tone, mixed with intrigue and surprise. Things can be good, and things can be bad. Of course, we can have plots with different tones as well, they just aren't going to be the main focus of the story. There can be happy endings, but no happiest endings.

Time

The date in the game is the same as the date out of game, except thirty-five years in the past. For example, events roleplayed on October 31, 2018 would take place on October 31, 1983 in-character. The game runs on US Eastern Time (UTC/GMT -5).
