Sunnydale OSI focuses on all aspects of the struggle for control of the regoin surrounding the Hellmouth. From the demonic haunt of Willy's Alibi to the containment cells of the Office for Subterranean Intelligence to the bright and shiny halls of Sunnydale High, everyone has a part to play. These are the stories which have been retold many times, and most characters who have been around since the beginning can tell most of these stories.

Some of the following information is NOT in-character knowledge outside a small circle. If there is any doubt in your mind as to whether your character knows about an ongoing or closed plotline, please ask a mod.
