History
ARCAM Corporation (Japanese: アーカム・財団, Hepburn: Aakamu Saitan) (AC) was founded in the United States and has branches covering all countries from across the globe. Its origins were traced to Tea Flatte Arcam who had created the company as part of a mission placed on her by Merlin.
The ARCAM Corporation functioned as a global, non-governmental peacekeeping entity that mobilised its immense private military and scientific resources to protect ancient, high-tech relics from modern exploitation. Operating from a sophisticated mobile command centre near Mount Ararat, the organisation coordinated a high-stakes archaeological recovery to secure the legendary Ark before rival national militaries could weaponise its perceived power. The conglomerate utilised its elite special operatives, known as Spriggans, to infiltrate hostile zones and neutralise high-threat paramilitary units that sought to seize the site. Beyond its combat role, the firm provided the necessary technological shielding and advanced research equipment to contain the volatile energy signatures emitted by the artifact. Throughout the operation, the corporation’s leadership maintained a firm stance as the self-appointed guardians of 'out-of-place artifacts', ensuring that the prehistoric technology was either sealed away or destroyed to prevent a global catastrophe. By leveraging its vast diplomatic and financial reach, the organisation successfully obscured the discovery from the public eye, reinforcing its status as a silent, global arbiter of forbidden history. The ARCAM Corporation expanded its global reach by deploying its specialized resources to the treacherous terrain of a remote mountain range to investigate reports of a mysterious, high-frequency signal. Acting as an independent scientific authority, the organization utilized its advanced tracking arrays to locate a hidden, prehistoric laboratory containing a dormant biological entity of extraterrestrial origin. To secure the site against a rogue military faction, the conglomerate authorized the use of experimental, muscle-enhancing combat suits for its field agents, providing them with the physical superiority needed to bypass automated defense systems. Within the subterranean facility, the firm’s research teams worked frantically to decipher ancient data logs while simultaneously preparing a containment field to prevent the entity’s premature awakening. Despite the overwhelming firepower of their adversaries, the corporation maintained its commitment to its core mandate by opting to trigger a localized self-destruction sequence, ensuring that the volatile biological data remained permanently inaccessible to those who would use it for conquest.
Overview
In appearance, the ARCAM Corporation was an international research organization whose global personnel consisted entirely of adult human bureaucrats, elite scientific researchers, and specialized paramilitary forces. The company was also shown to be officially referred to as the ARCAM Foundation. Its mission is to covertly secure and destroy all ancient artifacts from all known enemies that may use them for their own benefit. They featured standard bipedal human physical frameworks that spanned separate administrative and combat divisions, with their specialized security troops maintaining heavily conditioned physical forms to endure high-stakes field drops and subterranean combat engagements. The organization possessed no unified natural physiology, hair requirements, or skin coloration, allowing its administrative board and research teams to present a clean, professional corporate appearance while managing high-tech laboratory facilities. They expanded their visual identity by providing their private military forces with distinct operational attire that completely rejected standard state military camouflages. Their garments consisted of dark, high-tech tactical combat suits layered beneath specialized equipment harnesses, reinforced utility belts, and durable field boots, with their elite Spriggan operators openly wearing sleek, form-fitting armored muscle suits built with advanced integrated mesh layers to project an imposing and high-tech presence.
They relied on their comprehensive institutional tracking databases and exceptionally high scientific intellect to execute complex historical excavations, decode ancient languages, and monitor ongoing artifact disruptions across multiple distances. The company possessed its own army that served as a paramilitary wing with their duties varying. Their main purpose was to conduct operations on various artifact locations and its aggressors, ranging from private corporate military wings to national militaries.
ARCAM did not possess a single shared, innate supernatural superpower or natural physical invulnerability, relying instead on high-grade military engineering, massive financial wealth, and a revolutionary technological breakthrough centered on the refinement of a legendary metal known as Orichalcum. This specialized material science allowed their engineers to manufacture advanced Armored Muscle Suits that artificially amplified a wearers physical strength, enhanced their running velocities, and resisted high-caliber firearm impacts. Their primary capabilities allowed them to command a private global army capable of matching state militaries, secure high-threat doomsday artifacts like Noah's Ark, and maintain an independent, highly disciplined network of secret agents capable of overriding national jurisdictions to protect humanity
One of their divisions consisted of special agents known as Spriggans who were recruited for covert work in hostile areas without compromising the company.
Creations of the company included:
- Armored Muscle Suit :
- J-15 Pistol Rounds :
The main headquarters of the corporation was situated in the United States. High-risk out-of-place artifacts were stored in their underground safes in New York. In addition, a Research Facility was responsible for R&D work.
