The Mandela Catalogue Discussion Thread

A discussion thread relating to the ARG The Mandela Catalogue.

This video explains it perfectly.

 

[Sans2345]

And this one.

 

[Shmooply]

oh boy here we go...

So the abilities for the alternates would be something like this:
Superhuman Strength that will likely net them tier 9-C or 9-B because of this.
Higher Dimensional Existence? I dunno - Alternates are stated to exist on different spectrums.
Shapeshifting and Voice Mimicry - After their target has died, an alternate will take on their appearance and voice with varying degrees of success
Possibly Longevity - Gabriel has existed for millenia, and is still alive. It is implied other alternates can live for a very long time
Invisibility - Alternates have the ability to go invisible at will, requiring the aid of advanced technology to sense their presence
Immersion and Technology Manipulation - Alternates can enter and exit televisions at will and change the content that is being displayed on them, they have consistently shown to be able to mess with other pieces of technology such as cameras
Possibly Flight - Gabriel has been depicted as an angel that can fly, also this alternate exists
Information Analysis? Telepathy? Maybe it's nothing at all - Alternates know information that their targets do not desire to know
Social Influencing - Rather than relying on assault or murder, alternates prefer to use psychological warfare. Up to 97% of people that communicated with an alternate later ended up committing suicide, alternates are responsible for the disappearance of over 3,426 children.

Is there anything that I missed?

I just saw a simple theory video and that's all, but if they kill people by making them commit suicide, why would they get 9C?

 

[Shmooply]

Oof, I forgot that the being that "tampered" with a corpse so badly that it needed to be censored is classified as being something else than an alternate, so they likely don't scale or have the invisibility stuff, oh well.

 

[Sans2345]

I think the creature from the TV are called "Intruders" they have the ability to kidnap multiple children.

 

[Sans2345]

Also i believe Alternate Gabriel could have a profile however his powers would kind of be a mystery.

 

[Sans2345]

I believe Alternate Gabriel would have darkness manipulation due to it suddenly getting dark upon his presence.

 

[Sans2345]

Bump


Also, i believe the creator said that the hooded man is another creature.

 

[Sans2345]

Actually Satan in the Mandela Catalogue universe would have god like powers, plus having the ability to create Alternates.

[Sans2345]

Bump

 

[Sans2345]

Volume 2 is out.

 

[Shmooply]

Sweet.

 

[Sans2345]

I have my theories about it:

1: The voice we hear sounds very similar to the voice of Satan in this universe.
2: The entity we see must be a different type of alternate.
3: The being on the TV must have the ability to make noises to that of a cat.

 

[Sans2345]

 

[Shmooply]

 

[Sans2345]

So uh, would it be possible to create a profile for the Alternates?

At this point, i 100% believe The Intruder is not an alternate.

 

[Sans2345]

Well volume 333 is almost here, i think a profile for the Alternates could work.

 

[Sans2345]

[Sans2345]

Big lore dump from Alex from the recent interview, apparently Satan is the original Alternate and is the hive mind of the Alternates.


And apparently Alex is remaking Volume 1 with new scenes, that will hopefully get something to tier the characters instead of being unknown tier.


If there is new stuff from the remake, someone can edit the pages if they wish.

 

[Sans2345]

 

[Sans2345]

I still wonder when the alternates are going to get a tier change, unknown is still a bit iffy to me.

 

[Sans2345]

So about Adam Murray, what tier would he be?
