   Keys: Alternate, Alternates

   They are a mysterious, hivemind species that plan to eradicate humans by mainly driving their victims to suicide. The Alternates are malevolent and mysterious beings. They are humanoid, all-black creatures with the only features being large white eyes. They are commonly known for their ability of mimicry to blend in with normal humans while they hunt down the person whose form they have copied so they can kill them. Once they have found and cornered their victim, Alternates will use psychological warfare to infect the victim with Metaphysical Awareness Disorder and convince that person to commit suicide- their methods of doing so are unclear thus far, but it’s implied that by speaking to their victims in a certain tone or about certain topics, Alternates can inflict Metaphysical Awareness Disorder on them, driving their targets insane. They have also been shown to use brute force to kill as well.

   Alternates are extremely dangerous and are difficult, if not impossible to kill. Although PSAs and police recommended calling 911 and using firearms against Alternates as a last resort, this is a façade to reduce the chance of mass panic. 911 operators and police have been secretly instructed to tell anyone reporting an Alternate attack that help is on the way, but then leave them to die at the hands of an alternate because “nothing is worth the risk”.

   Alternates can shapeshift into other lifeforms, usually humans but also animals. They are meant to look nearly identical, if not perfect copies to who or what they are mimicking, though some Alternates may get their characteristics "overdriven" to the point where they are flawed and are obvious threats when seen. Some Alternates, such as Gabriel, can also manipulate their physical characteristics, such as when they extend their faces. Alternates can mimic the voices, music, and radio audio of others as well to trick people.

   Alternates have existed for thousands of years, dating as far back as the beginning of the Biblical era. The earliest known Alternate was the one posing as the Archangel Gabriel, who foretold the coming of the Savior, Labbi Yeshua.

   Alternates have been shown to have glowing eyes, this trait mostly being seen in darkness. It is unknown if alternates can allow their eyes to glow at will or not.

   Keys: M.A.D, Metaphysical Awareness Disorder

   Metaphysical Awareness Disorder, otherwise known as M.A.D is an illness brought upon by Alternates giving humans verbal information they did not desire to know. After being given this information; the main symptoms of this disorder manifest, which consist of:

   Going insane, or hence mad Extreme desire to commit suicide/committing suicide Becoming delusional & paranoid

   To avoid the development of M.A.D, one needs to:

   Avoid excessively frequent religious practices Avoid unnecessary beliefs in philosophical implications Avoid opening their eyes when they are certain that the man in the corner is now inches away from their face. Watching.

   Type One Alternates, known as Doppelgängers, are a type of alternate whose appearance is almost if not seemingly identical to the human or form they take.

    Keys: Mark Heathcliff, Mark

    Keys: Adam Murray, Adam

    Adam is a fair-skinned male with fluffy, blonde hair. He is seen wearing a black hoodie with the Bythorne Paranormal Society logo on its back, and “BPS” on the front on the upper left side. Adam has also been seen without his hoodie and also with the left side of his face melted with his left eye missing and his jaw elongated, showing all of his bottom gum.

    Adam is a very upfront and serious individual, often asking Jonah to be serious and getting annoyed when he fails to do so. Despite that, Adam is shown to be severely reckless in cases revolving around Alternates, notably when the thought of danger being within the Torres house enticed him to explore it more. He has also been shown to be impatient and crabby.

    Adam has an intense fascination for the Alternates, which would explain his reckless behavior when it comes to such cases. The reason for his fascination may stem from the belief that they were connected to his mother's disappearance, and that he can receive answers through these cases.

    Adam is shown to be careless in regards to how others feel, and can be very oblivious to their discomfort (As demonstrated in his first investigation with Sarah). These traits only become more amplified where he has seemingly become very hostile and unfriendly. He even goes on to express his lack of care for Jonah when Sarah gets confrontational with him about his death, and Adam's lack of emotion surrounding it.

    His personality may have changed to how it is now as a result of MAD, as Evelin says he used to be “the nicest guy” in her MCPD statement. This could also be an indication of him being replaced as an alternate.

    When The Intruder reveals the horrible truth to Adam that "you aren't the real you," Adam's stability seems to decline rapidly, as in the events of mandela catalyst he is found screaming for Thatcher Davis to kill him.

    Unbenounced to him, he is an Alternate.

    Keys: Bythorne Paranormal Society, BPS

    The Bythorne Paranormal Society, formerly known as Bythorne Paranormal Club, is a paranormal investigation organization founded by Sarah Heathcliff in Bythorne High. Originally serving as a school club, the club was eventually reformed into an inter-county paranormal investigation organization shortly after the addition of Adam Murray from Werksha High. This organization investigates peoples' homes for a cheap amount per night in search for ghosts, as their name suggests, though it's implied that they also do investigations for possible Alternate encounters.

    They are wanted by the FBI most likely for breaking the countermeasures with 6 imposed by the Department of Temporal Phenomena, as the devices used in their investigations, such as ghost boxes, have screen-based technology.

    Keys: MandelaTECH

    MandelaTECH, also known as MandelaTECH 2000, is a technological company prominently located in Mandela County and possibly Founded by Dave Lee.

    Keys: Face Studio 2

    Face Studio 2 is a computer software created by MandelaTECH. It allows users to upload their personal information and 3 pictures of someone's face and customize them by distorting them and make them say whatever you want through a text-to-speech program. In difference to it's predecessor, Face Studio 2 can store multiple faces and information at the same time, as well as sending them to a database. Though Face Studio 2 appears to be created by MandelaTECH, it's possible Face Studio 2 can be a way to facilitate Alternate's impersonation process. The features that the software has in comparison to its predecessor facilitate this process, as it not only gives them access to the face of their victims, but also their personal information.

    It's likely that humans don't even know that the Intruder can manipulate digital technology yet, leading more victims into falling for the trick, as well as causing them to share it with friends and family, also turning them into potential victims of the Alternates.

    The reasons why MandelaTECH would create such a program is likely due to its owner, Dave Lee, receiving advice from "O'Brien" who was actually deceiving him into doing his bidding for him. The program was originally never intended to be used by the Alternates or even existed until O'Brien came into scene.
