Background / History

Origins and early struggle

The Society’s ideology was built by earlier pioneers before its formal establishment roughly a century before the main story. Its formation is described as the natural result of those predecessors’ work rather than a sudden invention 213.

During the tenure of the Second Generation President, the Society’s bases were destroyed by national governments and its personnel were reduced to roughly a dozen fugitives. Despite being treated as terrorists, it continued pursuing unified containment rather than abandoning global responsibility 754.

Over time, the sacrifice and work of its members earned it recognition from the Global Council as a legitimate force for world safety; without that recognition, its unilateral containment activities could still have been regarded as terrorism 303.

Expansion beyond Earth

The Society develops from an Earth-based containment body into an inter-world organization. It establishes plans for a rear base in the Jurassic period and prepares mass personnel transfers through Virtual Islands 534.

When Society members enter a universe without Contained Objects, their presence can initiate a new containment era. After the Aswar civilization invaded Earth, the Society’s presence caused Aswar’s universe to become such a world, compelling the Society to assume containment responsibility there as well 833 886.

Mission and Principles

  • Containment over governance — The Society’s primary responsibility is to contain anomalies and prevent threats to humanity’s survival; it does not seek to rule countries or solve ordinary social problems 106 502.
  • Secrecy and stability — It avoids public panic and conceals the existence of Contained Objects whenever possible, including through low-profile containment and official cover stories 60 98 229.
  • Limited jurisdiction over ordinary crime — It may collect criminal intelligence for operational purposes, but conventional crime is left to national authorities unless it involves an anomalous event 220.
  • Order through action — Membership screening considers a candidate’s ideals, but sustained conduct matters more: even an infiltrator is regarded as a brother if they uphold the Society’s order throughout their life 152.
  • Separation of secular and extraordinary power — The Society opposes small groups with exceptional power dominating ordinary society. Its preferred order is for secular society and extraordinary beings to remain clearly separated 502.
  • Universal knowledge over isolated anomalies — It favors science, Black Technology, magic, and immortal arts when they follow universal laws and can be learned sustainably; Absolute Traits are treated as dangerous isolated effects 291 889.

Organization

Membership ranks

Rank Standing
Alpha Entry-level formal rank; earned through containment achievement and represented by an Alpha Medal 230 247
Beta Second of the Society’s five major ranks 230
Gamma High-ranking status, attained through extensive containment records 230
Delta Rarer than Gamma and associated with greater responsibility 230
Omega The highest standard rank; fewer than ten Omega members are said to exist, with many leading vital departments or holding key offices 230

Medals are not awarded through shortcuts: each reflects containment contributions, merit, and survival through dangerous operations 230.

President and collective rule

The President must meet two minimum conditions:

  1. Be an Omega-class Member.
  2. Be an Enlightener—a member trusted by the Society who personally bears the immense cost of containing one or more Contained Objects 230.

The presidency is lifelong. When no suitable President exists, the Society is governed collectively by the Six Arbiters: the three most qualified Enlighteners and the three Omega members with the greatest honors. Other Enlighteners, Omegas, and titled members retain varying decision-making rights, while the Six Arbiters can decide directly during emergencies 230.

Enlighteners

Enlighteners are recognized by the membership as steadfast protectors of humanity’s beliefs. They are typically fused with, use, or serve as containment measures for dangerous objects, often enduring long-term suffering or dying early in service 230.

Outsider personnel

Type Description
Part-time Outsiders Ordinary people who retain their normal careers and occasionally provide information about anomalous incidents 230
Affiliated-industry personnel Employees of Society-linked businesses, foundations, and supply networks who support its economic and logistical operations 230
Semi-members Failed Member candidates who remain trained and committed to containment work at key facilities, foundations, and strongholds 230

Restricted anomalous individuals may also become Outsiders. They must obey Society rules, avoid misusing anomalous effects, maintain secrecy, and report regularly 102.

Operations and Resources

Intelligence network

The Society maintains external operatives across industries and social circles. Some personnel do not even know they are working for the Society, while informed operatives prioritize reporting unusual incidents for formal teams to investigate 54.

Its information-gathering capabilities extend through infiltrated online communities, purchased administrator accounts, affiliated institutions, and professional networks 106 268.

Global assets

  • Manages roughly 90% of the world’s top charitable foundations, allowing disaster relief, cleanup, compensation, and cover for areas affected by containment incidents 106.
  • Operates businesses, investment firms, media outlets, and legal teams around the world for revenue, influence, logistics, and early anomaly detection 106.
  • Maintains affiliated offices such as the United Nations Environment Programme Coordinating Agency Committee Office in Nairobi, where all staff are Outsider personnel 199.
  • Receives cooperation from governments that recognize its importance, including military support during major containment operations 229.

Containment practices

The Society seeks “perfect containment”: securing the object with no casualties and no excessive expenditure. The difficulty of reaching that standard depends heavily on the object involved 229.

It generally prefers not to use Contained Objects unless necessary. More desirable tools are widespread, controllable effects—such as Air Walls—or techniques grounded in ordinary scientific principles 291.

Facilities

Blue White Island and headquarters

The headquarters is located at 6°42′06.90″ N, 165°33′42.74″ W in the central Pacific. Its visible entry point is Blue White Island, an eye-shaped island divided by three artificial canals into residential, office, and venue districts 247.

The main headquarters facilities are situated within Virtual Continent, a 2.09-million-square-kilometer micro-continent contained inside a crystal ball classified as a Contained Object 246.

Virtual Islands

Virtual Continent’s crystal ball can generate derivative crystal balls containing individual Virtual Islands. These islands are allocated to Members as a major benefit and function as personal fiefdoms or operational spaces 247.

Training facilities

Extreme Island trains prospective Members through long-term physical, technical, and psychological assessments. Candidates are tested for wisdom, responsibility, and willingness to sacrifice; many are eliminated or withdraw before graduation 178.

Society training preserves elite human knowledge in combat, marksmanship, stealth, defense, and scientific methodology rather than relying only on anomalous powers 176.

Relationships

  • Global Council — The Society’s principal international partner and source of political recognition; the Council entrusts it with containment authority while receiving protection and stability in return 303 876.
  • National governments — Governments provide military, legal, and logistical support during containment incidents, while many senior officials are aware of the Society’s existence 229 230.
  • Mohist School — An ancient containment organization whose philosophy the Society respects. The Society works with surviving Mohist Wooden Automatons through Mo Qiong’s succession as Mohist Grand Master 303 306.
  • Gaia Church — A major ideological enemy that seeks humanity’s return to divine rule, directly opposing the Society’s human-centered order 729.
  • Aswar civilization — Initially an invading force; after its universe became a containment universe, it accepted the Society’s terms and agreed to assist with future containment operations 886.
  • Other secret organizations — Illegal groups possessing or worshipping Contained Objects are containment targets. Many fear large Society operations because they expose hidden strongholds and assets 107 314.

The Containment-Era Connection

The Society eventually learns that its existence is deeply tied to the appearance of Contained Objects.

  • A Society member entering a world without Contained Objects can cause that world to enter a containment era 833 886.
  • The defining factor is not merely the organization’s name, but the Containment Ideology held by its members 974 1002.
  • According to information uncovered by Kelon, the Mother Universe’s anomaly era began when a Blue White Society member from sixty million years ago entered it and remained capable of resurrection 973.
  • A proposed ultimate containment measure states that if all Society members are irrecoverably erased through Information Deletion, Contained Objects within the applicable scope would likewise be deleted 973 991.
  • After all known Contained Objects disappear, many members argue that the Society should dissolve to prevent future anomalies from arising 1052.

Story Role / Major Arcs

  • Hidden organization era — The Society is first revealed through Che Yun, an external intelligence operative gathering anomaly reports among wealthy social circles 54.
  • Mo Qiong’s recruitmentMo Qiong learns of its rules, global infrastructure, and containment mission before seeking formal membership 98 106 107.
  • Extreme Island training — Candidates undergo severe screening, skill training, and ideological testing before becoming formal Members 152 178.
  • Headquarters and formal membershipMo Qiong graduates, receives the Alpha Medal, signs permanent employment, and reaches Blue White Island and Virtual Continent 246 247.
  • Inter-world expansion — The Society intervenes in worlds where cultivators or extraordinary groups distort ordinary society, enforcing separation between secular civilization and exceptional power 502 526.
  • Inter-universal deterrence — It defeats the Aswar invasion, reveals its capability to retaliate across universes, and recruits Aswar into its containment order 879 886.
  • Public debut as Order — The Society conceals its containment ideology while publicly emerging as the Order civilization, guiding humanity into the interstellar era 1002 1003.
  • End of the containment era — The Society confronts the possibility that its final containment duty is its own disappearance 973 1052.

Notable Quotes

“This name originally had no meaning. For some people to insist on explaining what the colors blue and white symbolize, and what thoughts and emotions they express, is pure nonsense.” 590

“We are the Blue White Society, and we only need to correct them onto the right path. The secular belongs to the secular, and immortals and deities belong to deities.” 502

Trivia

  • The Society’s name is said to have been chosen at random by its First Generation President, despite later attempts to assign symbolic meaning to it 590.
  • Its emblem, the Blue White Eye, does have an explicit ideological meaning even though the organization’s name officially does not 213 590.
  • The Society has alternated between lifelong presidential rule and collective governance five times over its first century 230.
  • A powerful Member is not necessarily the Society’s President or an Arbiter; Mo Qiong is described as merely one Enlightener despite being perceived by alien civilizations as a civilization-level powerhouse 878.
