Phenomenon Classification and Assessment

An explanation of the strange. There are many kinds of Phenomenon present within Limbo, and we understand this fact! For all tourists, new visitors, or even old residents simply looking for more structured information, we will briefly explain the classification coding system.

Let's begin with a look at the system. The code used to classify Phenomenon can be easily described like so: [ORIGIN LETTER] || [TYPE NUMBER] || [LOCATION CODE, THREE LETTERS]. This was developed for our internal systems, but they easily allow civilians to understand what each classification means! With that, we can begin with explaining all the possible Origins.

1. P - Primordial: This is used for phenomenon that stem from a facet of existence, whether this be a creature or generalized occurrence.
2. L - Legendary: This is used for phenomenon created from, or the source of, folklore within varying parts of Babylon!
3. E - Emotion: This is used for phenomenon tied to human emotions and fears!
4. H - Hominid: This is used for phenomenon that were once █████. Do not mourn them, it's better this way.

With that said, we can now move onto what the numbers mean, as well as the location codes! There aren't enough types to warrant two separate lists, so we'll briefly explain them here.

1. 01 - Animalia, for phenomenon that manifest as animals or creatures; non-humanoid entities also fall into this category!
2. 02 - Humanoid, for phenomenon that manifest in a more humanoid form! As simple as it gets!
3. 03 - Environmental, for phenomenon that manifest as changes to your environment such as weather or an newly formed building.
4. 04 - Incomprehensible, for phenomenon whose forms can't be properly grasped. An example is "Everything Beneath" (E-04-LIM), a phenomenon whose form is USUALLY akin to that of rotted flesh, coral, and rot. Despite that, it shows several forms in our time studying it, implying that it only picks this one as courtesy.
5. 05 - Object, for phenomenon who manifest as objects. Whether this be usable weaponry, tools, odd machines, or artifacts; they're all simply objects!

Finally, we have the Location Codes, which are as follows: -LIM for Limbo, -ACH for Acheron, -STY for Styx, -███ for ███████████, and finally -SEC for external Sectors! Return

[00:07] User requested access.
[00:08] Computer found.
[00:09] But you already knew that, Ms. Maldicion.
[00:10] Wait. No. You're not Sacchari. Who do you think you are? Stealing from HER. I don't care about her, in truth, but it is important to note. 
[00:12] ...
[00:23] Change of plans, it seems. It seems my sister grows fonder of interlopers, or perhaps, she does not care about gnats.
[00:24] So, Lux Corporation. I raise you this. Rummage through a database. See what you find. It's my domain, after all.
[00:25] I will simply limit your access for my amusement. Check back in time. This site will serve as my communication to you.
[00:26] Or, perhaps I will deliver hints to HER and see how she likes it.
[01:00] ...Hm? Oh. Right. I suppose it's that time again. Why do you even bother to snoop? Do you think you'll discover something groundbreaking?
[01:01] The family's dead. You won't get much about them.
[01:02] Regardless, let's see... I'll give you one on the house, and then hints for the rest.
[01:03] I sincerely do not care if you find that fair. Now then: Magenta.
[01:05] ...
[01:08] ...
[01:08] 1, 2, 3, 4. Okay? Remember that.
[01:09] The term for those that sent her that letter, the technology to change the world, and so the corpse staggered with [X] [Y] [Z], our glorious city.
[01:10] Just don't ask for something stupid, like my favourite kind of dessert. Or something.
        

Password Terminal

Consider this you tool. A gift from me, to you.

The Heart

The one organ that man can never purge, its influence eternal. Hatred given form, love given thought. Something so visceral, and something so powerful.
This is a problem.

Well, this is it.

You know, I was thinking about what to put here, whether I'd make it diagetic or not. I think it's better if you get this, as genuinely as possible. A final send off should be like that, no?

So. I'd like to just say: I loved my time as Sacchari, she was a fun character and I loved her interactions. That said, of course, I am human, and so I've come to realize my limits with her. I don't think I can keep her going in a satisfying way for myself or others, and while sad... It's the way things oughta be, I'd say.

That said! My time in the server is, obviously, not done. While I am definitely taking a break from being an active cast member for now, rest assured, I will make a return with another Redact; I've got a list of books I wanted to read for ages, so I'm using that as well as this break to brainstorm.

Will they ever replace Sacchari? I don't think so. I don't even think they can, all things considered, but that's why I made these images. There's bound to be a little bit of Sacchari in this new character, and... I don't think she's quite gone for good.

We can put an end to this iteration of Sacchari Maldicion, and that is bleak, but... I've had an idea for what to do with her, should I make that new Redact and it works out. You'll see her in another life, just as she will see Satureja.

I hope that Sacchari was enjoyable, and I hope you'll find my next Redact (should I make them in a timely manner) just as enjoyable, even if it's not the same.

Goodbye, Ms. Maldicion. As the cycle spins on, I can only hope we are happy together.

E-02-ACH

INFORMAL NAME:: MAGENTA MARCH OF MANY QUINS
ASSESSMENT: CONTAINED

APPEARANCE: E-02-ACH, like many E- Phenomenon, manifests itself in a relatively human form. The Phenomenon's main body takes on the appearance of a blank faced harlequin, its outfit entirely composed of magenta, black, and white. On its chest, it wears a standard drumline harness with a matching marching drum, though it is never seen with the drumsticks required to strike it. The drum always plays as if struck, however. While it plays, many other harlequins in a variety of colours, sizes, and instrumentation manifest around it, leading to its title as a "march". Rarely, pachyderm-esque harlequins and other 'circus' troupe members may manifest during the march.

CAPABILITIES AND BEHAVIOUR: E-02-ACH, as one of our more recent containments, lacks an intricate understanding of what it is capable of and what its behaviour truly entails. With what we've observed so far, E-02-ACH will remain docile and idle for long stretches of time, only becoming active when many humans are harmed within a ~15m radius of the Phenomenon's main body. When activity begins, this Phenomenon will appear in a random location nearby and begin its march. It will start walking aimlessly, manifesting its sub-bodies, only stopping when confronted by others. With our restrictions in place, there is no discernible pattern to what it does when confronted, but its sub-bodies will become incredibly hostile should the main body be attacked, or the parade be impeded. Those who perish to any of the sub bodies will have their head sprout an instrument (or, oddly, a gramophone) as their body follows behind the main body. Is it forming a parade of the damned?

A Glimpse in the Past

Each day, I am blessed by an angel's light
In a world like this, there's nothing warmer
My wounded heart's first and only respite

A visage so holy, it pushes me to right
To elevate me beyond a martyr
Each day, I am blessed by an angel's light

I act of fright, of blight and spite
Yet she claims it only makes me sweeter
My wounded heart's first and only respite

Curse the axon, curse the dendrite
In comparison to her, I am lesser.
Each day, I am blessed by an angel's light

So why is it that my nerves are set alight?
Will my life be what's needed to capture
My wounded heart's first and only respite?

I watch now, as the day shifts to twilight
And ask myself: will I be this light's killer? Must I wound her?
Each day, I am blessed by an angel's light
My wounded heart's first and only respite

By S.M.E.

...To think I would write such things. I believe this was my first, wasn't it?
Yes. It was.
How despicable.

Acere Satureja Evlogia, commonly referred to as Acere Satureja and posthumously titled The Baroness of Hell, is recognized as the founding Baroness and architect of Babylon, a city she did not inherit but brought into existence through means that remain disputed and poorly documented. Said to have existed “long before the Fount sprung forth,” Acere’s origins fall outside conventional historical record, situating her more in the realm of foundational myth than verifiable biography. Nevertheless, her authorship of Babylon’s societal framework is treated by scholars as incontestable: its rigid civic hierarchies, austere theological doctrine, and the elevation of art as both sacrament and instrument are attributed directly to her governance. As matriarch of the Evlogia Family, she established the dynastic customs that continue to define the bloodline’s authority, including the succession rites observed by the current Baroness, Satureja Mezzo Evlogia, who bears her name in deliberate homage.

Acere also founded the Ambrosial Concord, an institution whose influence permeates the city’s authoritative and cultural life, though its internal workings remain opaque. Most significantly, she is credited as the originating force behind the Worldsmith, a process-bound figure integrated into the foundation of Babylon and widely regarded as the city’s singular engine of material and conceptual production. Contemporary accounts describe the Worldsmith only in oblique terms—an apparatus that renders thought into structure and absence into substance—yet avoid technical elaboration, suggesting either lost knowledge or deliberate suppression. Through these undertakings, Acere is widely considered the backbone of the Singularity that defines Babylon’s continued existence. Though frequently characterized as ruthless in her consolidation of power, and reputed to have possessed an intellect of uncommon and unsettling acuity, official historiography maintains a measured tone in recounting her rule. Even so, the enduring atmosphere of reverence mixed with apprehension surrounding her legacy indicates that Acere’s influence is not confined to the past, but remains embedded—structurally and ideologically-within the city she created.

You have a genuine perfect view into Babylon. You can ask me anything you like. You can input ANY password you like... and you put in the words "frozen yogurt". Do you hear yourself? Do you think you're intelligent for this? Maybe I should alert Sacchari herself so she can butcher you to bits. Maybe I should tell my sister that the people coming to our city are a bunch of unintelligent ingrates. Maybe I should shut your bus down from the inside out and force you to walk. Is that a fair price?

...I haven't had it before.

The Elysian Pantheon

Many residents in Dis have surely noticed it! Our fabled Concord has been partnered with another group, of folks "just as important", at least that's what our Baronness says. This new trio, dubbed the Elysian Pantheon, seem to be apprentices to the current Concord, perhaps allowing them to allow them more leisure.

An angel, a puppet, and a demon. The three that we have to deal with, and yet... We're missing one, the one to replace me. I wonder who she has in mind. Despite how close we are, my sister has no need to share every little element of her ideas with me. I am content with that. If anyone would know, that glorified passage would. Alas, you don't have it here, now do you?

There wasn't anything to it.

Yes, yes. I know. You're sad that there is nothing here. Do you think I would let you find every little secret by hand? Do you understand how self centered you must be? A thief of a thief. She had stolen this, and now, you try to steal more from it. I permit you to explore, because my sister shant care. I do not hand you answers, for something like you does not deserve them. Do I make myself clear, interloper?

The Venetian Marksman

Venus, also known as the Venetian Marksman, is a Grade 9 mercenary operating within Sector 1, focusing primarily on the City of Babylon. Despite his grade, Venus primarily focuses on detaining and combating Contortions and other "anomalous" phenomenon. He is primarily seen around Limbo, sporting a Dimensional Bag to carry the cores of the creatures he fights, as well as his weaponry and any other 'loot' he may acquire.

Venus' title comes from the weaponry he employs, primarily using a variety of firearms. The most infamous one, and the one many associate with him, is his Golden Revolver. It is incredibly rare to see him use other weapons in public appearances, though prying eyes have reported a variety of weaponry; some definitely... more Contortion than standard to have been employed.

I always found him interesting.
