Founding Organizations:
1. SCP FOUNDATION/SCPF - A clandestine organization dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting anomalous objects and entities, serving as one of the founding organizations of the GRDSC and playing a crucial role in anomaly containment and research.
2. UN GoC (United Nations Global Occult Coalition) - A coalition of nations supporting GRDSC's efforts in anomaly containment and exploration, providing resources and diplomatic backing to further their objectives since the founding of the organization.
3. GRU P DIVISION - A Russian military intelligence agency specializing in anomalous research and containment, contributing its expertise and resources to the formation of the GRDSC during its inception.
4. FBI - The Federal Bureau of Investigation, representing the United States' interest in anomaly containment and research, collaborating with other founding organizations to establish the GRDSC and its mission.
5. CIA - The Central Intelligence Agency, involved in intelligence gathering and analysis related to anomalous phenomena, joining forces with other founding organizations to form the GRDSC and address global anomalous threats.
6. NSA - The National Security Agency, responsible for signals intelligence and cybersecurity, contributing its expertise to the GRDSC's efforts in monitoring and analyzing anomalous communications and technological anomalies.
7. Serpent's Hand - A loosely organized collective of anomalous individuals and entities advocating for the freedom and liberation of anomalous beings, participating in the early collaboration that led to the formation of the GRDSC.
8. Church Of The Broken God - A religious organization venerating anomalous machinery and artifacts, aligning its goals with the containment and study of SCPs, and contributing to the establishment of the GRDSC.
These founding organizations came together during the tumultuous period of the First Great War, recognizing the need for a unified approach to anomalous threats and the exploration of space-time anomalies. Through their collaboration, the GRDSC was born, dedicated to understanding and containing the anomalies that threaten the stability of reality.
Opposing Organizations:
1. Chaos Insurgency - A splinter group originating from the SCP Foundation, the Chaos Insurgency seeks to exploit anomalies for their own gain, often coming into conflict with GRDSC operatives in their pursuit of anomalous artifacts and technologies.
2. Unusual incidents Unit - A branch of the FBI tasked with investigating and containing anomalous phenomena within the United States, sometimes at odds with the GRDSC's methods and objectives.
3. The Fifth Church (Thothist Cult) - A religious organization worshiping Thoth and his pantheon, The Fifth Church often clashes with the GRDSC due to their conflicting beliefs and agendas regarding the nature of anomalous entities.
4. The Black Queen - A mysterious group of anomalous entities led by the Black Queen, the Court operates in opposition to the GRDSC's efforts to contain and study anomalies, often engaging in covert activities to undermine GRDSC operations.
5. Marshall, Carter, and Dark - A high-end auction house dealing in anomalous artifacts and services, MC&D frequently comes into conflict with the GRDSC over the acquisition and control of valuable anomalous items.
6. Are We Cool Yet? - An artist collective that creates anomalous art pieces, often with dangerous or unpredictable effects, AWCY? opposes the GRDSC's efforts to contain and regulate anomalous creativity.
7. The Global Occult Coalition's Red Right Hand - A covert division of the UN GoC specializing in assassination and sabotage, the Red Right Hand occasionally targets GRDSC personnel and facilities in their pursuit of anomalous containment objectives.
8. Sarkic Cults - Ancient and esoteric groups worshiping entities known as the Sarkics, these cults often clash with the GRDSC due to their use of anomalous rituals and biological augmentation.
These opposing organizations represent various factions and entities that stand in opposition to the GRDSC's mission of anomaly containment and research. Their conflicting agendas and methods frequently lead to confrontations and conflicts in the pursuit of anomalous knowledge and power.

Original Canon Rules (GRDSC):
1. Consistency: GOIs within the GRDSC canon must maintain internal consistency, adhering to established lore and principles. Events, anomalies, and narratives associated with GOIs should align with their established characteristics and motivations.
2. Authenticity: Content creators are encouraged to maintain the authenticity and integrity of GOIs within the GRDSC universe. GOIs should embody distinct tones, themes, and aesthetics that contribute to the richness of the setting.
3. Collaboration: Collaboration between content creators is encouraged to develop GOIs that are interconnected with other elements of the GRDSC canon. Cross-references and shared narratives enrich the storytelling experience and contribute to the depth of the universe.
4. World-Building: Content creators are encouraged to contribute to the world-building efforts of GOIs, introducing new locations, organizations, and anomalies that expand their lore and significance within the GRDSC universe.
5. Canon Compliance: GOIs should adhere to established canon while also allowing for flexibility and creativity in exploring new narratives and ideas. Canon compliance ensures coherence within the GRDSC universe while still allowing for innovation and expansion.
Extended Canon Rules (GRDSC):
1. Interpretation: Content creators are encouraged to explore alternative interpretations and perspectives within GOIs, offering fresh insights and pushing the boundaries of conventional storytelling.
2. Expansion: The GRDSC universe is open to the expansion and evolution of GOIs, with new concepts, anomalies, and narratives continually enriching their lore and significance. Content creators are encouraged to introduce innovative ideas that contribute to the ever-growing complexity of GOIs.
3. Innovation: Innovation is valued within GOIs, with content creators encouraged to experiment with new storytelling techniques, formats, and mediums. Non-traditional narratives and multimedia projects are welcome additions that contribute to the diversity of GOIs.
4. Inclusivity: GOIs should embrace diversity and inclusivity, welcoming narratives that explore a wide range of perspectives, cultures, and identities. Content creators are encouraged to celebrate diversity within GOIs, promoting inclusivity and representation.
5. Adaptation: Adaptation and reinterpretation of existing GOIs are encouraged, allowing content creators to put their unique spin on established lore and themes. Remixes, reimaginings, and alternative takes on GOIs contribute to the dynamic nature of the GRDSC universe.
