The Mandela Catalogue universe is home to various entities, most notably the Alternates. These beings come in five types: Doppelgangers, Unspeakables, Flawed Impersonators, Tulpas, and Mimics. Each type has unique characteristics and abilities, ranging from perfect human mimicry to reality-warping powers. However, not all entities in this universe are Alternates, as evidenced by the mysterious Intruder. This gallery showcases some of the most notable characters, both Alternate and otherwise, that inhabit this terrifying world.
Nicholas Beringer is a Type 3 Alternate, classified as a Flawed Impersonator. His appearance is distinctly unsettling, with a pitch-black body contrasting sharply against a white face. Most disturbing are his seemingly empty eye sockets and the absence of a visible mouth, giving him an otherworldly and deeply unsettling presence.
As a Flawed Impersonator, Nicholas's attempt at mimicking human form is imperfect, resulting in warped limbs and disproportionate features. His existence serves as a chilling reminder of the Alternates' inability to perfectly replicate human appearance, yet their persistent attempt to do so.
"Thatcher" is a Type 4 Alternate, known as a Tulpa. His appearance is haunting, with completely white skin that gives him an ethereal, ghostly quality. The empty sockets where his eyes should be create a sense of otherworldly emptiness, while his big smile adds an unsettling contrast to his otherwise featureless face.
As a Tulpa, Thatcher was brought into existence by the power of imagination, likely by a child. His form reflects the fears or desires of his creator, manifesting as this eerie, smiling figure. Thatcher's presence serves as a reminder of the power of the mind and the terrifying potential of thoughts made real.
"Cesar" is a Type 1 Alternate, classified as a Doppelganger. His appearance is meticulously crafted to mimic human form, with a sharp black suit and neatly styled black hair. His white skin provides a stark contrast to his attire, while his black eyes with white dots add an otherworldly touch to his otherwise human-like appearance.
As a Doppelganger, Cesar excels at mimicking human appearances and behavior. His invisible mouth adds to his enigmatic presence, making it difficult to read his expressions or intentions. Cesar represents the highest level of deception among Alternates, capable of seamlessly integrating into human society while harboring unknown motives.
The Intruder is a mysterious entity that stands apart from the Alternates. Its species is unknown, adding an extra layer of enigma to its already unsettling presence. The Intruder's most striking feature is its warped white head, which defies normal human proportions and anatomy.
Cloaked in a black hoodie, the Intruder's true form and intentions remain a subject of speculation and fear. Its open eyes, seemingly alert and watchful, add to its menacing aura. The Intruder's presence in the Mandela Catalogue universe suggests that there are forces at play beyond even the terrifying scope of the Alternates, hinting at deeper, more inscrutable horrors lurking in the shadows.
The Preacher is a Type 3 Alternate, classified as a Flawed Impersonator. His appearance is strikingly similar to Nicholas Beringer, with a black body and a white face. However, the Preacher's eyes contain small white dots, giving him an even more unsettling gaze. His most distinctive feature is his open, screaming mouth, frozen in a perpetual state of terror or aggression.
As a Flawed Impersonator, the Preacher's form is imperfect, with warped limbs and distorted proportions. His screaming visage and the contrast between his dark body and pale face create a deeply disturbing image. The Preacher's presence suggests a twisted parody of religious figures, perhaps serving as a dark messenger or harbinger within the Mandela Catalogue universe.
