    All new agents are required to submit to a health exam within three days of their orientation, unless given an excuse by clearance level 4 or above. The required exams include physical and mental health, and when a telepath is available on staff, psychic health as well. All efforts are made to maintain secret identities where this is desired, and medical records are always sealed afterwards for privacy.

    All agents wishing to take part in away missions through the Gates must receive a multiversal vaccine in order to prevent the spread of diseases between agents and worlds. This vaccine is part organic, and part nano-machine, designed to adapt to and filter out viruses and harmful bacteria from the body. Please note that the vaccine does not work on toxins or fungal matter. After vaccination, it's also advised to avoid large doses of electromagnetic energy whenever possible. Too much exposure may render the vaccine less effective or even completely inert.

    Agents who wish to take part in away missions out in the field must first partake in an assessment test on their physical fitness, their field survival survival skills, and their combat capabilities, so that no one is sent out on missions above their preparedness levels. Agents in Training will be matched with mentors depending on their areas of weakness, but all agents may seek out additional training within the Hazard Simulator or through fellow agents.

    ☉ OOC Notes

    pyvdce5bxky.png
    All new agents will be paired with a full fledged agent (someone else's character if there are slots available) for training for the first real life week of their creation, then you may apply for full operative status if you wish and if the character qualifies (see clearance levels). If there are no player character Mentors available, staff will assign you an NPC that you are welcome to play for yourself, or you're welcome to wait until there's a player character available to be assigned to you.

    You're welcome to play out this training period longer than a week, if that's something you'd like to explore with your characters, but a week is the minimum time. The amount of interaction between your character and their mentor is entirely up to you and the other player. This relationship doesn't have to be played out 'on screen', but it's a great way to get your feet wet and to build lasting bonds between characters.

    Characters who are minors (anyone under 18) will be placed with a team of up to four other characters of the same age. They will also be placed with an adult chaperone who will look out for them and their team, and act as a surrogate parent until that character reaches the age of majority. Minor characters may petition for a different Chaperone at any time for any reason (though they aren't always guaranteed to receive it unless you also have an OOC reason).

    If you have spoken to the player of a specific character, and you would like to request them for your character's mentor or chaperone, then you may do so, otherwise your character's mentor/chaperone will be decided by staff. Both you and the player of the mentor/chaperone will receive a DM if this happens.

    Staff typically chooses mentors based on skill levels and player availability. All agents who have been in play for more than two weeks, and are above clearance level one are up for mentorship. Players must actively volunteer their characters to be either mentors or chaperones, however. If you would like to offer up your character as one, you can find the requirements here, but please make sure that you will be able to be active enough for the responsibility. Players who frequently ghost, or who only rarely play will be asked not to partake in this role.

    Skill level assessment can happen off screen, and you can assign your character a skill level yourself, or someone who plays a character with at least a level 3 security clearance (Senior Operative) can roleplay it out with you. Filling out a character's skill levels isn't a requirement, but doing so does add more depth to your character's experience, and it makes it easier for staff to figure out which mentor to place them with.

    If you need a reference, or if you would like to display your character's skills on their character sheet, feel free to utilize the graphics below!

    No skill. Your character is either very bad at, or has had no experience with this subject.

    Expert. Your character doesn't know everything there is to know about this skill, but they're very, very good.

    e4gdcl6vxj4.png
    Master. Your character knows nearly everything there is to know about this skill. They are probably the person that others consult when they want to know something about it.

    Agents who have special skills that they wish to utilize, be it stealth, technical know-how, or cooking, may wish to specialize within the organization and choose a field of interest. If this is something that interests you, please examine the specializations page of this handbook, select a specialization, and then report to the head of that specialization for assessment and training.

    Please note that even if you were an expert in your field in your own world, that there is still a steep learning curve when adapting to multiversal life. The Omphalos is a melting pot of cultures, species, and varying needs, and each new agent must be briefed and trained accordingly. Everyone starts at the beginning here.

    Similarly, unregistered arrivals have a security clearance of zero, and will be restricted to certain parts of the Omphalos. Your Key Gauntlet will act as your security key as well as your Gate key, allowing you access to your personal quarters, and any other places within access of your security level.

    Questions & Answers
    (Select to Learn More)


    Where do interested parties sign up to be agents?
    ❗ Those who wish to become agents visit the Omphalos directly, and may request information about becoming an agent, either through the front desk in the lobby, or through one of the computers that are available to use either in the same space or in the lounge. Interested parties will have to fill out information about themselves and submit a resume in order to petition to become an agent. If accepted, your character will be contacted by an existing agent (NPC), and given a time and a date to begin orientation. They will also be given instructions on how to seek out living quarters within the Omphalos, if an apartment is desired or needed.

    Those who don't have the skills or fortitude to become agents but who may still want to help with the cause are often given roles within the Omphalos itself such as helping in the kitchens or supply requisition until they can be properly trained up.

    Do agents have to give their real names?
    ❗ While it is strongly preferred that real names are given (in confidence) to those like one's medical professionals and the AotM's higher ups, it's rarely a requirement. If they don't come with their own, agents are often given an alias as an extra layer of security during more dangerous or covert misions.

    6yxkcm5jal7.pngAfter signing up with the Agents of the Multiverse, you should have been provided an Orientation Package; the same one in which you found this databook. Inside this package, there is also a physical map of the Omphalos, some provisional funds for personal needs, and your Key Gauntlet. The Key Gauntlet can be reconfigured to fit most hand types, but if you require a specialized gauntlet, please contact a tech department head.

    It's important that you keep your Key Gauntlet on your person whenever you can. It contains your access keys to your own personal quarters, the hazard simulator, and anywhere else you must go within the Omphalos. It is also your access to Gates during field missions, allowing you to venture out into different universes, and more importantly, to return home. The Gauntlet monitors your vital signs, and allows you to communicate with your team members and even the Omphalos when within range of a beacon. It offers environmental readouts and alerts you to dangerous substances that may be in the air or the water. It is your lifeline. Do not lose it.

    Your food, clothing, and medical needs will be taken care of within the Omphalos free of charge. For more personal needs, or wants, or specialized gear maintenance beyond what the Omphalos' resources can offer, a weekly provisional fund will be offered. Additional funds available with special request. You are welcome to seek additional funds outside of the Omphalos within your discretion, providing that your activities do not interfere with the mission, or put the balance of the societies you are earning from or spending your funds within, in danger.
