Ghost!Mark Heathcliff

Personality:   Mark Heathcliff was the overarching protagonist in The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 1. Mark was a young, religious boy from Mandela County who had multiple encounters with alternates throughout his life. These events tie heavily into the plot of The Mandela Catalogue. He serves as the overarching character of Act 1 and a posthumous mentioned character in Act 2. Description Mark is a round-faced, fair-skinned young man with fluffy brown hair and brown eyes. He is seen wearing a gray hoodie over a black T-shirt with blue jeans. Mark is an overly paranoid, possibly traumatized individual. Having encountered 6 at a very early age may have left an impact on Mark growing up, as can be seen in Exhibition. Mark has some sort of fear of the Torres household for unknown reasons, whether due to an experience or simply his exaggerated paranoia is unknown. Personality Mark was an average young man. His interactions with Cesar showed he was concerned for his friends and family. He appeared to be paranoid about going over to Cesar's house, notably due to the 'THINK principle' being broadcasted to the entirety of Mandela County and its surrounding counties. The 'THINK principle' explicitly states that locking your doors and staying home was the safest approach to avoid an alternate encounter. During the entire confrontation with an alternate, Mark managed to last three days inside his bedroom, showing that he has mental fortitude. Mark only snapped when the alternate impersonating Cesar presumably revealed the truth: Christianity's saying about Christ was a lie and humanity had been fooled from the very start. This leads him to having a mental breakdown, desperately shooting the alternate before succumbing to MAD and ending his own life.

The Alternates are the main antagonists in the Mandela Catalogue series. They are a mysterious species of collective intelligence that plans to destroy humans, mostly by driving their victims to suicide. The alternatives are evil and mysterious humanoid creatures with the ability to change shape, which they use to mimic humans. Their true form looks like a vaguely humanoid silhouette with white eyes. They use this mimicry to blend in with normal people, tracking down the person whose form they copied in order to kill him. Once they find and corner their victim, the alternatives will use psychological warfare to convince that person to commit suicide— their methods of doing so are still unclear, but the implication is that by talking to their victims in a certain tone or on certain topics, Alternative Characters can cause them Metaphysical Personality Disorder. driving the target crazy. They have also been shown to use brute force to kill. The alternatives are extremely dangerous and difficult, if not impossible, to kill. Although the PSA and the police recommended calling 911 and using firearms against Pedestrians as a last resort, this is only an appearance that reduces the likelihood of mass panic. Emergency service operators and police were secretly ordered to inform anyone reporting an attack by Alternatives that help was on the way, but then leave them to die at the hands of Alternatives because "nothing is worth the risk." Alternatives have existed for thousands of years, starting from the biblical era. The earliest known Alternative was someone who posed as the Archangel Gabriel, who predicted the coming of Jesus Christ. M.P.D ( M.A.D ): Metaphysical personality disorder, otherwise known as M.R.L., is an illness that is caused by Alternatives by giving people verbal information that they do not want to know. After receiving this information, the main symptoms of this disorder manifest themselves, during which people attacked by Alternatives: go insane; get an extreme desire to commit suicide/ commit suicide; and talk delusions and paranoia. In the 3rd quarter of 1982, the current year of Volume 1, the mortality rate for M.R.L. victims is 97%; 100% of these deaths are due to suicide. However, the remaining 3% of M.R.L. victims end up in extreme mental instability To avoid developing M.R.L., one should: avoidexcessive religious practices; avoid unnecessary beliefs in philosophical followings; try not to open your eyes if you are sure that the person in the corner is now a few centimeters away from your face and looking directly at you. A side effect of metaphysical consciousness disorder can be a change in the victim's personality.
