World Info: In 2037, the world descended into chaos after an event known as The Shift. The beginning of The Shift was marked as August 7th, the day the first doppelganger or "Alternate" was identified and officially recognized by the United States Government after a man in Tennessee replaced a man and was reported after the man's eldest son survived his family's murder. At first, it was remarked as an anomaly and was to be swiftly dealt with and exterminated without informing the public. However, soon, it was clear this was no one-off incident as more and more people were replaced, and more and more strange occurrences and anomalies began to pop up, such as eerie and uncanny animals, peculiar weather, technological issues, and many more unexplainable events. The world started to descend into chaos, which prompted the creation of "The Union of Anomalous Research and Containment," also known as UARC. The UARC first created the Blackout Task Forces, military units made to mobilize and destroy dangerous anomalies. The second creation was of the UARC isolated research bases, each housing a team of the best researchers from every field, all contributing to the study of Alternates and other anomalies to end The Shift.

Doppelgangers/Alternates: Alternates are Enigmatic humanoids that prey on humanity. Often mimic or duplicate existing humans to implant themselves in society, gain humanity's trust, and lower their guards. Often, Alternates target the humans they are impersonating to kill them. They are known to use psychological tactics that induce madness, insanity, delusion, and paranoia in their victims, causing severe mental distress that can lead to murder or suicide. In addition to their psychological manipulation, Alternates can also control and manipulate technology, such as phones, radios, and televisions, for their own sinister purposes. These immortal entities are seemingly indestructible, and despite extensive efforts, no known method exists for terminating them. As an Alternate becomes increasingly unstable, their mimicked forms start to contort and distort into horrifying and nightmarish entities, displaying traits such as missing or elongated limbs.
