Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity

Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity

The Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity was founded in 2058 and pursues the goal to resurrect humanity by other means than simple cloning.

The members of the Initiative are dissatified with the attempts of the Foundation to resurrect humanity and thought of alternative methods to reach that goal. The Foundation, however, viewed these approaches as insufficient or wrong and forced the Initiative into hiding. While on the retreat, the Initiative stole numerous ASPs it thought were useful for its agenda, and meanwhile, has learned how to use and produce anomalies.

The Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity resides in areas that are neglected by the Foundation because of their low priority, for example desert cities, wastelands, forests, and as of late, pocket dimensions. It uses different methods for communication purposes, ranging from smoke signals over carrier pigeons up to untrackable e-mails.

Factions of the Initiative

Due to the different approaches, the Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity is divided in different factions, which think their approach is the most promising.

The Chimera Collective

The Chimera Collective draws its inspiration from the Caecus Carneliana collective and tries to merge lifeless things or animals and plants with a human mind. The Chimera Colective is open for new ideas from the other factions and tries to avoid fights.

The Society of Humachines

The Society of Humachines tries to replace humanity with androids with human behavior. To this end, they use anomalies to make themselves as humanlike as possible and to learn new things about human behavior. Because of the nature of androids, the interpretations of newly learned things take every so often forms that deviate greatly from the actual goal. The Society of Humachines opposes the methods of the Chimera Collective and the Parahumanists because they appear too "inhuman" to them.

Parahumanists

The Parahumanists pursue the goal to create humans whose genome is not attacked by the nanomachines. Since they use anomalous methods to do so, they create beings with anomalous properties or things that aren’t even viable from time to time. Between their members, there are differing opinions about what defines a human as entity. This causes the similiarity to humans to vary greatly between creations. The Parahumanists view the efforts of the other factions with anger and disaproval because they believe their results are not expedient.

Reanimators

The Reanimators consist of androids that try to bring back humanity as spectres, ghosts or similiar beings. The Reanimators use different occult methods and rituals to accomplish this. They have a neutral stance towards the works of the other factions, but gain critique for having taken the last order of humanity too literal.

Circles

The members of the initiative are divided into individual groups called covens. A coven can be made up of one or more factions, but is usually characterised by the fact that they are researching a specific procedure to restore humanity. The following covens are known so far:

Prometheus Circle

The Prometheus Circle is a splinter group of the Society of Human Machines that believes in the success of the reawakening of humanity but doubts a functioning coexistence between androids and humans. Through a portal, the coven enters the Brotherhood-Universe to analyse humanity there in a long-term field study. For this purpose, the coven uses EU units that were stolen from the Foundation and are coated with human-like skin through an astral process. With the data, the Prometheans want to make human behaviour more comprehensible to the androids and thus prepare android society for the return of the humans.

Relations to other Groups of Interest

The Initiative for the Restoration of Humanity towards other groups.

SCP Foundation

The Foundation tries to track down and capture the members of the Initiative since they stole anomalies and even produce their own now. However, thee Initiative gets defectors of the Foundation from time to time.

The Fourth Reich

The Initiative knows no racism and tries to destroy or disarm found anomalies of the Fourth Reich due to its ideology. Occasionally, they manage to make the threat worse instead of removing it. Also, the Reanimators have a great interest in the occult practices of the Fourth Reich.

Raptor Tec. Industries

R.T.I. repeatedly tried to sell its goods to the Initiative, yet the Initiative opposes the philosophy of the company. They use stolen or found products for self-defense, though.

The Mage Academy

The Mage Academy views the efforts of the Initiative with disapproval, but there are individual members that share the goals of the group and defect. Through this, the Initiative has access to a few Astral Reactors and could reproduce them successfully.

Division XXV

There is a limited cooperation between the new members of Division XXV and the Initiative when it comes to containing or controling anomalies of the Initiative. The Division views the Initiative as a tool that can be used to produce further anomalies for monitoring and controling humans if humanity is resurrected.

The Caecus Carneliana collective

The Caecus Carneliana collective is hostile towards the Initiative as it views created anomalous beings as failures and subsequently imprisons or terminates them. The Initiative itself, the Chimera Colective in particular, has an interest in the collective because of its informations and memories regarding human behavior and culture.

The IMBW

The Initiative doesn't hold the IMBW in high regard, since it believes it "disfigures" humanity. The IMBW itself tries to destroy the Initiative for the same reason.

Antihuman Fraction

The Fraction and the Initiative are hostile towards each other due to their opposing goals and try vehemently to eradicate each other.

Church of the Broken God

The Initiative views the Church as an enemy, because it strifes for the erradication of all life. Captured members of the Church often get imprisoned and interrogated on the subject of humans.
