++ Department Overview
[[/=]]
-----

What would eventually become AWD was formed during the Seventh Occult War when, under O5 command, Dr. Olaf Lunden and several other individuals formed the War-Time Production Division (WTPD). The Division, which included members from both the Foundation and Allied Occult Initiative, began to design and construct paraweapons for use against Obskuracorps. While short-lived, this think-tank, composed of mechanical engineers and occult specialists, would produce several anomalous artifacts and weapons that proved extremely useful in the war.

]]

In the wake of the war, it was decided that having a dedicated permanent team for the designing and manufacturing of paraweapons would prove useful. Thus, under the guidance of O5-7, the Department of Anomalous Weapons Development was established in 1947, with Dr. Lunden as its Director. Headquartered initially at [[[scp-1522|Site-6]]], the beginning years of AWD proved extremely prosperous. While the Foundation itself was not involved with any major conflicts at this time, AWD still produced countless designs that would later be integrated into standard MTF gear. Dr. Lunden eventually stepped down from his position as Director in 1979, selecting Dr. Felipe Everest as his replacement. At the time, Dr. Everest was the Regional Director of AWD in Central America.

Almost immediately, there was a noticeable change in AWD. It was at this point that the Headquarters of the Department were relocated to the newly constructed Area-34, a Foundation facility located in the mountains near San Jose, Costa Rica. A focus was placed on studying fields of anomalous sciences that were, at the time, unexplored for potential weaponization. While more simple paraweapons were still made, this saw the rise of weapons and technology that incorporated more esoteric fields such as the Noosphere, nomenclative anomalies, and ontology. While this time also saw a stark increase in the casualties, a majority of these weapons proved to be viable for Foundation use.

It wasn't until 2018 that AWD would receive a new Director. During a visit to Site-01, Dir. Everest's convoy was ambushed by unknown assailants, with him being one of the casualties. It was decided at this time that his son, Dr. Ezra Everest, would inherit the position of Director. Dr. Everest followed in his father's footsteps, focusing on developing and designing more experimental weapons while still producing basic weaponry based on the more well-known fields of anomalous science.

However, AWD would suffer a [[[the-crow-gets-the-last-laugh|significant loss]]] in the attempted decommissioning of SCP-6946. The 32nd decommissioning attempt of the anomaly would result in a massive loss of equipment and of the anomaly itself. This, combined with the mishandling of SCP-6821 -- both of which were directly caused or set in motion by Dr. Ezra Everest -- resulted in the mass downsizing of the Department. Dr. Everest himself was removed as Director. An attempt was made to find a new Director. But with no suitable candidates, the Department quietly entered a reserve period and focused on only maintaining its current projects.

[[span class="rev-blue"]]In 2025, interest in a fully functioning AWD arose. Jimmy Day was appointed as the new Director of AWD by the O5 Council and Ethics Committee. While returning to a fully operational state, AWD still lacks the resources it had before Ezra's bumbling. Director Day aims to [[[the-second-spark|rebuild]]] the Department's reputation and regain trust.[[/span]]

[[tab Intro]]
So, you wanna write something with AWD? Awesome! Being a department, AWD is pretty flexible in what they can do. Below I'll detail how I ([[*user TopDownUnder]]) envision them, but feel free to take them in any direction you want. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to reach out to me!

++* **Themes**

**Hubris:** The most straightforward theme for AWD. Some engineer gets too big for their breeches and end up fucking up terribly. See [[[SCP-6946]]]. Cruelty is usually a major part of this too. See [[[SCP-6821]]]. This theme is more prevalent in the modern day for AWD, especially under Director Ezra Everest.

**Innovation:** AWD usually finds itself under intense amounts of pressure, which is the perfect conditions for innovation. A good bit of AWD articles revolve around the Department trying to find a solution to a problem, with these solutions being as off-the-wall and esoteric as possible. See [[[SCP-359]]] and [[[SCP-6410]]].

**Redemption:** This theme is especially notable in the modern era, namely under Jimmy Day. The Department is trying to pull itself back together after the bumbling of the past era, and is doing everything in its power to make up for these past mistakes. Usually, this is being done by people who had no involvement in the original sin. See [[[The Second Spark]]].

**Military Fiction:** AWD lends itself very well to military fiction and stories about cool pieces of weaponry. The more technojargon you can fit in, the better! See [[[War Machine]]].

++* **Canon**

Like I said above, AWD is pretty flexible. For the most part, it is pretty canon-agnostic. They work fine in Broken Masquerade, Rat's Nest, Our Open Veins, and so on! Feel free to stick them in anywhere.

++* **Themes, of Another Kind**

The primary theme for AWD is [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/theme:flopstyle-dark Flopstyle: DARK]. [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/theme:scp-offices-sigma SCP Offices] is also occasionally used. For WTPD, the [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/theme:3law-7ow 7th Occult War] theme is used. Of course, feel free to use whatever theme you think would fit your article the best!

+++* **Lunden's AWD**
++++* 1940-1979

What would become AWD finds its origins during the 7th Occult War as the War-Time Productions Division. Helmed by Olaf Lunden, this version of AWD is conservative in its designs. Lunden was a cautious director, and preferred to stick to tried and true methods. That's not to say that there wasn't any innovation under him, just that it wasn't as boundary-pushing as future eras. The WTPD era (1940-1945) was easily the most stressful era of AWD, as they were expected to arm all of the Foundation's forces in the war. The end of this era is marked by Lunden passing on his role of Director to Felipe Everest.
[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote dashed"]]
+++* **Felipe's AWD**
++++* 1979-2018

Felipe's AWD is all about innovation, innovation, innovation. This time period saw an expansion in the Foundation's understanding of different fields of parascience. Felipe was eager to put this new knowledge to use, pushing engineers to incorporate weirder and weirder science. This is easily the most successful of all the AWD eras, with many ingenious and timeless designs coming from this era. This era also saw the expansion of AWD to regions that weren't a part of the 7th Occult War, namely Latin America. The Occult Studies Division was opened during this time, to help facilitate collaboration with other Departments. The end of this era is marked by the death of Felipe and the rise of his eldest, Ezra.
[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote dashed"]]
+++* **Ezra's AWD**
++++* 2018-2024

Ezra's era attempts to illuminate the AWD of his father's, with many notable faults. While it did continue the spirit of innovation, this era was marked by a stark increase in causalities (both Foundation and non-Foundation) and multiple momentous failures. All of this could be linked back to Ezra. Unlike his father, Ezra was rash, hotheaded, and incapable of listening to others. He was a genius engineer, but an awful leader. The role of Director served only to amplify his flaws. This era ended following the loss of [[[SCP-6946]]]. The Department was defunded to make up for the cost of losing SCP-6946, which led to Ezra selling unused AWD prototypes. This, combined with his involvement in [[[SCP-6821]]], led to his... execution? Disappearance? No one is sure what the Foundation did to him, but what is known is that AWD was greatly stripped back. It was given only enough resources to maintain its current projects, with no room to start new ones. A majority of its staff left, either transferring to other Departments or leaving the Foundation entirely.
[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote dashed"]]
+++* **Day's AWD**
++++* 2025-

A year after everything with Ezra, the Foundation came to the conclusion that having an operational AWD was better than not. Jimmy Day was brought in by the O5 Council and the Ethics Committee to pull AWD out of the past era. He started with a recruitment drive, going on a tour of Foundation sites across the globe to find the best and brightest. About 2/3rds of the people he tapped ended up joining. While a good start for AWD itself, this led to many outside it having a poor first impression, especially the other Directors he poached workers from. The main focus of this era is AWD redeeming itself, regaining respect amongst the Foundation, and fostering more collaboration with other Departments.

[[tab Notable Characters]]
**Dr. Farhat al-Halaby:** Foundation thaumaturgist. Farhat has had a relatively mundane career at the Foundation -- no major successes or failures to report. Originally a member of the Applied Thaumatology Department, she worked as a consult for other departments, namely AWD's Occult Studies division. Following the re-opening of AWD, she was approached by Jimmy Day and invited to join the new Department. She happily accepted, despite her wife's protests. Even though she's been with the Foundation for well over a decade now, she still feels fresh to everything, and is more than eager to prove herself.

----

**Hugo Berganza:** A representative of INCA to the Foundation. Hugo was close friends with Felipe Everest. He regularly met with Felipe, as AWD was one of the most active Foundation departments in Central America (second only to Parabiology). He was generally well-liked, and liked to keep his meetings friendly. Sadly, he died in 2021, being one of the first victims of SCP-6821-V.

----

**Senior Engineer Fidel Chavez:** The Director for AWD's Engineering & Designing Division. Fidel joined AWD during Felipe's tenure as Director. He worked alongside Ezra Everest, and the duo quickly climbed the ranks together. They were inseparable, sharing workshops in Area-34. This changed, of course, with the death of Felipe. Fidel tried to stick by Ezra's side during this period, but Ezra's worsening temper pushed him away. He was called upon the Ethics Committee to give his testimony on Ezra's actions as Director, which he believes directly led to his disappearance. Despite their rocky relationship towards the end, he worries about his friend's fate. He stayed in AWD during its hibernation, and Jimmy Day elected to keep him when he revitalized the Department. Even so, Fidel isn't the kindest to Jimmy, commonly being uncooperative or slow to enact orders. He probably just misses working under Ezra.

----

**Director Jimmy Day:** The current Director of AWD. Jimmy is shrouded in mystery. He's been with the Foundation for a long time, longer than his appearance would let on. There are records of him having worked in other Departments, such as the Applied Force Department and Archival Department, but no one in these departments can recall having ever worked with him. Still, he was handpicked by both the O5 Council and the Ethics Committee to revitalize AWD, and he's been doing a good job at that. Jimmy is generally overly friendly and positive, doing his best to make time to socialize with his staff.

----

**Dr. Sanaa El-Badri:** The Director for AWD's Paraweapon Studies Division. Sanaa wasn't always a member of AWD. Matter of fact, she wasn't even a member of the Foundation. She was a member of the Chaos Insurgency, captured by the Foundation when her cell attacked an outpost. Originally queued for either D-class conscription or execution, Felipe took an interest in her. He pulled some strings and managed to get her hired as a member of AWD, just on a very very tight leash. Sanaa rose the ranks over time, and eventually made it as Director of the Paraweapon Studies Division. Her experience outside the Foundation was invaluable for the Division. Despite her position and the 15+ years she's been with the Foundation, her peers still don't trust her. She's typically left out of more sensitive meetings, with many still waiting for her "inevitable betrayal."

----

**Researcher Alexandria Everest:** The middle child of the Everest family. Alexandria is a member of the Math Department's Esoteric Mathematics Division. She preferred to stay far away from AWD, not caring much for her brother and father's work. When her father passed in 2018, Ezra reached out to her, but she didn't respond. When the Math Department opened the Tactical Mathematics Division in 2020, she was asked to join, but declined. When Ezra disappeared in 2024, she tried to look for him, but didn't dig hard enough. When Jimmy Day reopened AWD, he avoided recruiting Alexandria. Finally, Alexandria decided to do something. She tried to transfer to AWD, but when that was declined, she transferred to Tactical Mathematics. Here, she works alongside AWD, trying to get closer to them to try and figure out what happened to her brother.

----

**Dir. Ezra Everest:** A former Director of AWD. Ezra joined the Foundation under the behest of Felipe Everest, his father, where he proved to be an exceptional engineer. He worked closely alongside Fidel Chavez, the two of them sharing many projects. He never wanted an administrative role, and higher-ups didn't see him fit for one. Of course, this changed when his father died, and he was chosen as the new Director for AWD. This was a terrible time for him to have so many responsibilities thrust upon him. He had just lost his father, he had no contact with the rest of his family, he was pushing away the few friends he had. His already short temper was worsening and he was becoming more and more rash. He caused the near-extinction of SCP-6821 over a personal vendetta. He lost SCP-6946 because of rebellious staff. The final nail in the coffin was when he was caught selling AWD assets to GoIs. Because of his bumbling, AWD was defunded and he was... fired? Terminated? Imprisoned? No one is sure what the Foundation did to him.

----

**Dir. Felipe Everest:** A former Director of AWD. Felipe joined the Foundation in the 1970s as a member of the AWD's burgeoning Latin American branch. A smaller branch then, he quickly rose the ranks to become Regional Director. He became the Director of AWD in 1979, the same year he met his wife. As a Director, he was interested in more obscure, occult methods of weaponcrafting, pushing AWD to try more esoteric sciences. He was a quiet, reserved man, even among his loved ones. He thought more than he spoke, always worried about saying or doing the wrong thing. He worried the most for his three children, Ezra especially.

----

**Dr. Hugh Finners:** A veteran member of AWD. Hugh joined the Foundation in the 1980s, fresh out of college. He helped pioneer research into other dimensions, leading many early extradimensional extrusions. He specializes in extradimensional geometry, topological anomalies, and stable interspatial pathways. He originally left AWD in the 1990s, transferring to the burgeoning Department of Extradimensional Research following a disaster in Portsmouth. He stayed far away from AWD during Ezra's tenure. He hadn't planned on returning, but Jimmy Day is nothing if not convincing.

----

**Dr. Akabi Hayk:** Foundation therapist, parapsychologist, and psychiatrist. Hayk serves many roles at the Foundation, but her main concern is the mental wellbeing of both its staff and prisoners. She was Ezra's personal therapist during his time as Director, and did her best to try and steer him from the path he followed. After his disappearance, Akabi moved to Site-225 until Jimmy restarted AWD. She didn't want to return to Area-34, already knowing how stressful it would be, but one major thing forced her: her wife. Marrying Farhat was easily the best thing she'd ever done in her life, even if her family back home didn't fully agree. She was a little upset when Farhat accepted the invitation to join AWD, but at least they got a nice apartment in a nearby city. Akabi puts on a nice face with everyone at AWD, but she harbors a deep distrust for Jimmy.

----

**Specialist Klymene:** A Foundation occultist. Klymene is the founding and current Director for the Occult Studies division. Klymene is an enigmatic person.

----

**Dir. Olaf Lunden:** The founding Director for AWD. Olaf was born in Sweden, 1906. He was young during WWI. While it didn't hit Sweden directly, the Allied blockades still starved the country. His father left to fight in WWI for the British, and when he returned went to fight in the Finnish Civil War. His father instilled in Olaf a deep sense of duty and diligence. Olaf joined the Foundation in 1934, as a member of the now-defunct Manufacturing Department. When WWII and the 7th Occult War started, Olaf helped form the WTPD, serving as its //de facto// leader. After the end of the war, the O5 Council was impressed, and accepted his proposal for AWD. Olaf quietly stepped down from his role as Director in 1979, passing on his role to a young Felipe Everest. Nothing is known about his life after the Foundation, but he always spoke of starting a farm in his retirement. Olaf was described by his peers as a hardy, down-to-earth man.

----

**Dr. Vivian Shing:** Foundation entomologist. The daughter of immigrants, Vivian studied bugs in college before being recruited by the Foundation. She was part of the same flock of new recruits as Katherine Summers at Site-225. The two grew close at the Site before a death in the family forced Viv to move to China's Site-37. Years later, she was invited to AWD. She went to Area-34 to scope it out. She hadn't been planning on joining, not wanting to be involved in weaponizing bugs, until she saw Kat there. Viv has been described as "vibrant" by her peers, a source of unending optimism, and not scared to let her emotions show.

----

**Dr. Katherine Summers:** Foundation parabiologist. A Portland native. She accidentally stumbled into 3Ports in her early teens, and moved there until she graduated from Deer College. She was scouted and hired by the Foundation shortly afterwards. She was part of the same flock of new recruits as Vivian Shing at Site-225. The two grew close at the Site before Viv abruptly left one day, transferring to Site-37 without a word to Kat. Years later, she was invited to AWD. After some convincing from Site-225's Director, she went. She hadn't been planning on joining until she saw Viv there. Kat is a reserved individual, staying quiet even when she has something to say. She is incredibly wary of AWD, worried it'll end the exact same way. She is also deeply untrusting of Jimmy, put off by how much of a mystery the guy is.

**Description of Target:** Blah blah blah. If you're using this in an SCP file, keep this section short, cause your reader should know what the target is already. Refer to whatever the target is as Subject, even if the target is multiple things. If it's a species, refer to it as Species. If it's a place, Location, etc etc.

**Potential Termination Methods/Potential Use Cases:**

[[tab Glossary]]

**Eigenweapon/Paraweapon:** Any weapon made utilizing the anomalous. Both terms are relatively interchangeable, but eigenweapon carries connotations of weapons of mass destruction.

----

**Hephaesium/Hephasium:** Spelled both ways at the same time. Hephaesium is an alloy composed of iron, beryllium bronze, and several unknown components. It's primarily used to animate structures. The two biggest flaws of hephaesium is that the means of its production has been lost, and structures made of it rust and become inert over time. The acquisition and reverse-engineering of hephaesium is a major goal for AWD and the Foundation at large.

----

**INCA:** //Institución de Normalidad Centroamericana//. The Institution of Central American Normalcy. GoI-0827. INCA works as the primary normalcy preservation organization in Central America, serving Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The organization is a separate entity from these countries' governments, but works closely with them. Given AWD's HQ location in Costa Rica, they often interact with INCA.

----

**Prototype-XXXX:** The designation for prototypes made by AWD. If it's made using a specific SCP, then it inherits that SCP's number. If it's part of a series of prototypes, a -X will be added to denote what iteration it is. Weapons start out as prototypes, and are only promoted to weapons after testing.

----

**Weapon-XXXX:** The designation for weapons made by AWD. If it's made using a specific SCP, then it inherits that SCP's number. If it's a part of a series of weapons, a -X will be added to denote what iteration it is.
