Hey y’all! I’m back again with yet another post. This time we are finally getting to backstory related things

(Spoiler warning if you don’t want the story spoiled for you, this is for the sake of the people who want the spoilers lol)

(ALSO also I’m posting/working on this while I’m on my final day of my first filming production for one of my college courses :’D)

These are all in alphabetical order. (Also this is kinda of a long read)

Adam Murray - What I got for his backstory so far is first of all, he grew up in the Post War fallout years. He was born on January 18th, 1988. Adam grew up and lives in New Wisconsin, (Or the Great Midwestern Commonwealth) with both of his parents Jude and Lynn Murray. But when Adam Murray disappeared around the age of 3-4 years old mysteriously they both died.

The reasoning for Adam’s disappearance was because the USDOTP (United States of Temporal Phenomena) took Adam for experimenting. He was the seventh human to be conducted underneath what is known as the “Alternate DNA” experiments where he was injected with…well, alternate DNA. This was back in 1992, and Adam didn’t escape until a year later in 1993. He was saved by Cesar Torres, who was also being experimented.

During the Experimentation, Adam was classified under the term “Doppelganger” but the USDOTP didn’t know that Adam retained all of his human form, except on the inside. For example when Adam gets his emotions to the better of him he might turn into his alternate form. Sometimes when this happens, pain shoots throughout his entire body on the inside.

After Adam was returned by the scout Thatcher Davis, he then became an orphan raised by the Marshall family, and that is where he met Jonah Marshall and Mervin Marshall.

Years later in 2006, at just 18 years old Adam then joined the solider organization called the “Bythorne Nuclear Society” to become a soldier to defend New Mandela County and the surrounding counties (this includes New Bythorne County) during the Commonwealth War. Same thing happens with Jonah.

This is the basic outline of what Adam’s story is within this AU.

Cesar Torres - Cesar Torres was a childhood friend of Mark Heathcliff. When the bombs dropped in America in 1981, Cesar was six-seven years old. He managed to survive with his mother and father, Sebastian and Milena Torres. The family of three adopted Mark and Sarah Heathcliff in 1990 to raise them since both of their parents have died.

When Cesar was around seventeen years old, he, like Adam suddenly disappeared. He was missing for about a year when he finally came back in 1993. Apparently, he too was one of the few human experiments that was conducted by the USDOTP. Cesar was only one of the few that managed to pull through and still look human but had some alternate characteristics. Like Adam, he was also classified as a “Doppelganger”.

He was the fifth human being to be conducted underneath these tests.

During the last half of Part 1 of Atomicdela (Yes there are two parts) Cesar unfortunately would succumb to his mental break from becoming an alternate and dealing with his experimental trauma and would result into sho**ing himself.

David Lee (Or Dave Lee) - David was born in 1967 and was around 14 years old when the nuclear war occurred. David was also a close friend to Thatcher growing up.

After the bombs dropped in 1981, David tried to live through his life as the best he could, but he knew life was never going to be the same. Before the bombs were dropped in the same year, David’s parents opened a business called MandelaTECH. Of course, since the war didn’t give a chance for the business to run, MandelaTECH didn’t become a successful business.

It wasn’t until around the year 2000 (Which was around 3 years after the Commonwealth War started) 33 year old David Lee started to bring back the company with technology that could be some use in the war itself.

One of these technologies would be known as Axntrons. They would be these robots that are built to defend as well as soldiers. They were made to bring down human causalities that were happening during the war. Once Axntrons were invented, they were shipped to New Mandela and Bythorne Counties.

David continues to work at MandelaTECH with the help Evelin Miller (Like how the original canon was)

Evelin Miller - Like Adam, Evelin grew up after the Nuclear War. She was born back in 1990. Before the Commonwealth War started in 1997, Evelin met Adam for the first time at 7 years old. Meanwhile, Adam was only 9. This would be the only time Adam and Evelin meet since they were both stationary at home due to the raging war that broke out at the time.

Around the year of 2007, Evelin signed up to work for David Lee at Mandela Tech to help him out with the Axntron production. This was also roughly around the same time Adam signed up to be a solider at the age of 18, and Evelin ran into him again at the age of 16. Eventually Evelin and Adam developed a relationship together and Evelin became Adam’s girlfriend.

Their relationship is considered long distance since Adam is fighting the Commonwealth War, and Evelin is behind the front lines, working as an assistant technician. The two lovers often send letters to each other, and continue to do so.

James Heathcliff - This is the first fanmade character that I am mentioning in this post. I don’t have much about him but in this AU he is the father of Mark and Sarah Heathcliff. Before the bombs fell, he used to work as a pastor for a local church in Mandela County. He once knew another Father or Pastor that used to work alongside him known as Gabriel Jackson. Unfortunately, James died in 1990 due to radiation sickness.

Jonah Marshall - Like Evelin and Adam, Jonah grew up in the post nuclear war world. Jonah is about a month younger than Adam, with him being born on February 7th, 1988. Jonah grew up with Adam since he was just 4 years old. Jonah at age 18 would then enroll in the solider organization called the “Bythorne Nuclear Society” with Adam to defend New Bythrone and New Mandela Counties. Jonah joined because his father Mervin would become a general of this organization as well.

Jonah and Adam became very close growing up, and they haven’t been separated ever since. They even call themselves brothers, even though Adam doesn’t want to admit it.

Jude Murray - Jude of course is the father of Adam. He adored his son and was a kind man. Jude was born in 1957, and he was only 24 when the bombs fell in America. He studied at college to be a Lawyer like his friend Mervin Marshall. But of course, he wasn’t successful.

Before Adam went missing, there was a feud between Jude and Lynn (Adam’s Mother). The feud started to happen after when Adam was born into the post nuclear world, and both parents were starting to stress out due to the fact that their own child has to live in this depressing world.

This caused the two parents to split apart for a time. It wasn’t until Adam finally went missing that the two parents got back together to try and find him their missing son. Unfortunately they couldn’t find any leads.

During one particular night, Jude found Lynn had hu*g herself by a nuce of a rope. Jude overwhelmed and shocked that he lost his wife, he took his own life as well by sho**ing himself. Jude and Lynn’s bodies were found by a solider Scout named Thatcher Davis.

Kimberly Marshall - This is the second fan made character that am mentioning for this AU. Kimblerly is the mother of Jonah Marshall, and the wife of Mervin Marshall. Before the bombs fell, she was a store clerk in Bythrone County. During the post bomb years she eventually had Jonah in 1988 and took care of him and Mervin. But then she unfortunately died from a sudden alternate attack that caused her to get radiation, and sadly pass away while she was trying to protect her son.

Lynn Murray - Lynn is the mother of Adam (Obviously). She of course adored her son as much as Jude did. After Adam was born and during the feud that Lynn and Jude had over the stress of how to raise their child, Lynn always stuck with Adam, even when Jude spilt away for a while.

But it wasn’t until one day Lynn found her son missing, she would ask Jude for help. This would be the last time Lynn would ever speak to Jude. Overwhelmed of not finding her son, Lynn ki**ed herself. Jude would find her dead a day later, and he too got overwhelmed by her death. But instead doing same that Lynn took herself out, he shot himself with his own gun.

Mark Heathcliff - Mark is the central character we begin with when we enter the first part of Atomicdela. He is the centered character during the first arc, like how he is in the original canon. His birthday is July 24th, 1974.

When the nuclear bombs were dropped in 1981 the young boy was just six-seven years old. His parents, James and Michelle Heathcliff managed to get themselves and their son safe.

In the year of 1989 Mark’s younger sister Sarah Heathcliff was born into the world. Sadly, Mark’s mother, Michelle died while giving labor to Sarah, so that left his father, James to raise the two children. But in the year 1990 James had succumbed to radiation sickness and unfortunately passed away and unfortunately left his two children.

In that intermediate time without parents, Mark’s best friend Cesar Torres offered to help. Meanwhile with Cesars parents, Sebastian and Milena Torres adopted the Heathcliff children, but didn’t change their last names in honor of Mark’s parents.

Mark also grew up religious and believed in Christianity and continued to do so for the rest of his life. Mark would eventually become a general for the BNS (Bythorne Nuclear Society) in motivation to protect his sister. Also during this time, Mark tries to figure out what drove his old friend Cesar Torres to off himself.

Mervin Marshall - Mervin is the father of Jonah Marshall and the adoptive father of Adam Murray. He was married to Jonah’s mother, who was Kimberly. But as we know, Kimberly unfortunately died from radiation.

Before the bombs fell, Mervin was studying to become a Lawyer.

Years later, Mervin would eventually become a General near the beginning of the Commonwealth war in 1997. He would then learn his son Jonah would become a solider in the organization known as the “Bythorne Nuclear Society”.

Michelle Heathcliff - There isn’t much development on Michelle, other than her being the mother of Mark and Sarah Heathcliff before the bombs were dropped, she used to work at a Dry Cleaners. She sadly died during child labor in 1989 when her daughter Sarah was born.

Milena Torres - Milena is the mother of Cesar and the adoptive mother of Sarah and Mark Heathcliff. This is the mother of Cesar Torres. Before the bombs fell, Milena Torres worked as a Nurse at a hospital.

Ruth Weaver - Ruth was born around 1968. She was around 13-14 years old when the bombs were dropped. She wanted to become a police officer. But with happened with the nuclear war, the dream was crushed. In 1988, Ruth signed up to be a wasteland scout. This is where she meets Thatcher Davis, who would become her friend and scouting partner. Both of them eventually signed up to the same solider program in 1997 to become Lieutenants in the New Mandela County regiment.

Sarah Heathcliff - Sarah is the younger sister of Mark by about fifteen years. She grew up in a tough and rough nuclear fallout environment. Since she was only an infant when her biological parents passed away, she was raised by the Torres family. Sebastian and Milena Torres turned out to be the father and mother figures in Sarah’s life rather than what Mark grew up with.

Sarah would become the founder of the Bythorne Nuclear Society (Or the BNS) where it’s a small group in a neighboring county near Mandela called Bythrone County. The BNS was created in 2006 when Sarah was just seventeen years old. Like her brother, Sarah grew up religious as well. Her brother Mark would eventually join her organization too.

Sebastian Torres - This is the father of Cesar Torres. He acted as a father figure to Mark and Sarah Heathcliff after James Heathcliff had passed away. Before the bombs fell, Sebastian worked as a cook at a diner. (That’s all I have for him lmao)

Thatcher Davis - We finally get to Thatcher XD

His story is similar to Ruth’s. Thatcher Davis was only 13 years old when the bombs dropped. Ever since he was a young child he always wanted to be a police officer as well. Thatcher wanted to protect and help people, but the Nuclear War robbed him of that dream. During the post war years, Thatcher then eventually signed up as a Scout at age 20. This of course was when he met Ruth Weaver. She too, shared the same dream as Thatcher.

When the Commonwealth War began around the year 1997, Thatcher signed up to be a solider scout in the New Mandela County Regiment, who was allied with the Bythorne Nuclear Society. Thatcher then went on to be a lieutenant in the Regiment in the later years of the war.

Archangel Gabriel (Gabriel Jackson) - We finally get to the alternate figures. Unlike this character being technically the devil in the original canon, Gabriel was human before he was the first person to go under the experiment of the injection of alternate samples (AKA the USDOTP Experiments).

Before the experimentations he was known as Gabriel Jackson, and he served as a Father in a local church in Mandela County before and after the bombs fell.

In this AU he is referred to as the “Archangel Gabriel” because he’ll be the one the first human to bear the new wave of humanity’s progression after the bombings.

It’s basically a reference or call back to how in the bible Archangel Gabriel announced to virgin Mary that she has been chosen to bear the son of God. During and after his experimentation, Gabriel was identified as a “Unspeakable”

N (Ethan Sutton) - N, (Or in this AU his human name was Ethan Sutton) was the second human being to undergo the experiments conducted by the USDOTP. He worked at a video store before the bombs dropped. When Ethan was experimented, his test failed. Resulting into him being classified as “Flawed Impersonator” due to his failed form not having any human characteristics after the test was done. His alternate name would be known as N; or as a long name, Nemesis.

The Preacher (Amelia Phillips) - The Preacher (Or as her human name in this AU was known as Amelia Phillips) was the third human being to go under the experiment by the USDOTP. Before/after the bombs she was a Nun for a local church in Mandela County. After the experimentation, Ameila was identified as an “Flawed Impersonator” Just like Ethan Sutton (Or N).

6/Intruder (Hugo Zamora) - Hugo Zamora was the sixth human being to undergo the tests by the USDOTP. Him being the sixth is in reference to the intruder in the original canon, since he was called Six.

During his experimentation he wasn’t really given a name, but later he called himself the Intruder. Before the bombs fell, he and his twin brother Stanley (I know they are in the same person in canon but bear with me here lol) worked as real estate agents right after college.

When Hugo and Stanely were trying to escape the USDOTP facility, Hugo unfortunately lost his brother due to a gunshot wound to the head. Despite the humans who were experimented on were injected with alternate DNA, they still can die by being shot to the head. (Ooooh lore and angsty much?)

After his brother died, Hugo went on to avenge his brother, and seek out Adam Murray and Cesar because he figures they are the only experimented people alive. He adopted a cat named Jonny later as well.

Stanley Zamora (Or Stanley Zamora) - Stanley Zamora is the twin brother of Hugo Zamora (Or known as the Intruder in this AU) and was the fourth human being to go under the experiment by the USDOTP. Before the bombs dropped Stanely was a graduating college student and wanted to work as a real estate worker like his brother Hugo.

But after the bombs fell and was then conducted under the experiment, Stanely lost his human features and when he and Hugo tried to escape the facility together after Cesar Torres made a breakout, Stanely was unfortunately shot in the head and killed by a USDOTP member.

OK THATS ALL FOR NOW

Wow I managed to put this on all in one post. Hope you enjoyed with what I have so far as characters go. See you in the next one ^_^

Alrighty, back again with yet another post! This is a quick one but I will get around to creating another one soon. This is to acknowledge the poll results that came from my last post, which was about if I should lay down the details about each of the Mandela character backstories for the Atomicdela AU (In which what I have developed so far)

Most of you voted for wanting the details, so that’s great! Actually, it makes it easier for me lmao

Anyway, I won’t talk about the backstories on this post but I WILL make a post about it soon. Actually it will be multiple part posts so it won’t be such of a long post for people to get such a headache from. But look out for the first post for the backstories, they’ll be comin.

Also Happy spooky month of October! Hope y’all will have a great day or night wherever you are. See you in the next post.

(P.S, I’m tagging the same tags I put on the poll post so people can find this a little easier. I recommend following the #atomicdela AU tag)

#atomicdela au #mandela catalogue #mandela catalouge au #adam murray #history au #cesar torres #jonah marshall #mark heathcliff #man I’m going to have so much fun talking about this #i’m tired #I’m posting this very late :’D #but it’s worth it anyway

Alrighty we back again bois

It is time for talking about the TMC characters, and what their roles are within this AU. I’m gonna give a brief description of each character is at right now for their development. I’m not going to go within detail about the characters backstories because that would make this post WAY too long lol

(Note all of these characters are going to be in alphabetical order)

Adam Murray

Probably my favorite character that I am having the most fun writing for within this AU. Not because that Adam is my favorite character from TMC originally (Yeah, I know everyone hates him Lmao) but his story that I came up for him was an interesting take on his character.

In the first act of the AU he isn’t so much a major character, but rather of a bridge between both acts. Adam is more of a major character within the second act of the AU.

Archangel Gabriel

Within this AU there is a plot between the alternates we know and love. To put it in simple terms, there is this build up plot of during the years after the bombs had dropped, the USDOTP (Known as the United States Of Temporal Phenomenon) have been trying to build themselves back together after the attack/war that had occurred.

Throughout the story, especially second act there are mention of rumors that the department was undergoing some tests or experiments with a new type of creature or monster that had emitted from the radiation. And these creatures are known as the alternates.

The rumors that people have been spreading across the wastes had to do with the fact that the department was subjecting humans with extracted alternate DNA (Yeah I know, it’s weird but bare with me) because it was known that alternates are tough to kill. Perhaps you can even call them immortal.

And I know that I am spoiling one of if not the biggest twist of the story but those rumors turn out to be true.

But what does this have to do with Archangel Gabriel? Well with this AU, Gabriel is not the embodiment of Satan like he is originally in TMC.

Gabriel was one of the first humans to be conducted underneath this test. And before he was experimented his human name was Gabriel Jackson.

(I know I said that I wasn’t going to do any backstory talk but I had to give context as to why Archangel Gabriel was referred to Gabriel Jackson in this AU.)

Cesar Torres

Cesar is definitely one of the major characters in the first act. But he is not a major character in the second. He is a supporting character to Mark Heathcliff.

More on him later with the backstory post that I eventually do.

David Lee (Or Dave Lee)

David is not much of a major character in act one, but certainly is in act two. It is due to the fact of with his association with MandelaTECH in this AU. Along with his work with work with Thatcher. Can’t really say much else than this, I did not really develop him so much yet.

Evelin Miller

Like Dave, Evelin is in the same boat. Her only development of right now is just the “Girlfriend Role” but soon enough I’ll get around to developing more stuff for her.

6/Intruder (Also known as Hugo Zamora)

Just like Gabriel, 6 or known famously as the Intruder also underwent the same experiment by the USDOTP. He was the sixth person to undergo this test (haha see why I put him as the sixth one?).

Also ALSO like Gabriel, I gave the Intruder a human name, which is Hugo Zamora. (I know it’s a weird name but I think it’s interesting)

As for his role, Hugo is a minor character in the first act but more of a major role in the second act. This is due to his affiliation with Adam Murray.

Jonah Marshall

Like Adam, Jonah is a major character in the second arc of the story. In this AU he shares a backstory with Adam too, and I really like how I have built their dynamic so far for both of them.

Like Cesar, he is a supporting role.

Jonny (The Cat)

Yes, this is the fucking cat Jonny.

All I have for him so far is that somewhere in the second act, Adam adopts a cat and names him…well Jonny.

Jude Murray

Ah yes, Jude Murray. Also known as Adam’s Father. He briefly appears in the first arc, but not isn’t a major character in the second arc. I can’t say much about him either yet, since again I’m leaving

Lynn Murray

Like Jude, Lynn appears briefly in the first arc, but isn’t major in the second. But she is mentioned by Adam in the second arc. After all, it is Adam’s mother.

Mark Heathcliff

Good old Mark Heathcliff is a MAJOR character in the first part of the AU. He is the center character. Not only is he a central character in the first arc, but he is also a major character in the second arc as well, which is neat.

Mervin Marshall

I know Mervin is a joke character but fuck it. I don’t care what anyone says lol

Mervin has the last name Marshall, which I like to head cannon that he is related to Jonah Marshall in someway. So that deems Mervin to be Jonah’s father in this AU. So far what I got planned for him is that he is a major character in the second arc due to his relation to Jonah.

But I had the idea of Mervin also making an appearance in the first part too.

N (The Alternate)

Ah yes, another well known alternate, N.

Just like Gabriel and the Intruder (Or Hugo) I gave the same thing to N. His human name was Ethan Sutton, but once he was injected with the alternate DNA he was given the alternate name of N, but was given another name named Nemesis.

After Gabriel he was the second one to undergo the experiments.

Ruth Weaver

Ruth Weaver is a supporting role in the first part, due to her affiliation with Thatcher Davis. But she is not a big role in the second part.

Sarah Heathcliff

Sarah definitely is a supporting character in the first arc but then picks up her character in the second arc because of the relation with her brother Mark and of course Adam and Jonah.

Stanley (Or Stanley Zamora)

I know that Stanley is the same person as the Intruder, but hear me out. There is a story dynamic that I am sticking with for this AU. I thought to make Stanley and Hugo (The Intruder in this AU) as twin brothers. Both of the brothers underwent the same experimentations.

Although Hugo was the sixth person to be experimented, Stanley was the Fourth. More on their backstory later when I get around to post more about the characters.

Thatcher Davis

Like Ruth, Thatcher appears in the first part briefly. But the difference is that he becomes more of a major character in the second half. More on him later too.

The Preacher

The Preacher (Or her Human name in this AU is Amelia Phillips) also underwent the experimentations. She went after Gabriel and N, making her the third person.

Like a bunch of other characters I do not have much to say about her either until I talk about backstory.

Other Characters (Mostly fan-made to help the story along):

James Heathcliff

James Heathcliff Mark and Sarah’s father in this AU.

Michelle Heathcliff

Michelle Heathcliff Mark and Sarah’s mother in this AU.

Kimberly Marshall

Kimberly Marshall is Jonah’s mother in this AU.

Sebastian Torres

Sebastian Torres is the father of Cesar in this AU.

Milena Torres

Milena Torres is Cesar’s mother in this AU.

That’s about it for characters. I know, it’s pretty boring but soon enough I’ll make a post about their background lore is about soon (not sure when but I know it’s one of my priorities to post about.)

I know it’s sorta spoilers but oh what the hell. Who cares about spoilers.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this SUPER long post. See y’all in the next one.

Yet another post again. I know that I said that the next post will have characters but there are a few more posts that I need to make regarding world lore. This post contains info about the United Territories’ Commonwealths (formerly America/United States).

So as I mentioned previously there are thirteen commonwealths (Kinda like how the thirteen colonies are). These commonwealths are made up of the former States of America to band together so people have more access to more resources, etc.

Unlike in the Fallout Game universe, where the commonwealths were created before the bombs and the event known as the “Great War” started in the canon games, this AU has the commonwealths or territories develop after the war is over due to the struggle of survival.

This commonwealth idea came from the fallout lore, and I thought it would fit with this AU since it sounded interesting. I feel weird addressing that this came from the fallout lore, and in the future I might change this idea because I am kinda implementing this certain thing that is not originally my idea :’D

But I did mention that I was inspired by the fallout game lore so I don’t know if that changes anything.

United States Map (Before the War)

United States after the War (Or in this case within this AU, the United Territories)

The Columbia Commonwealth (Red)

The first commonwealth to talk about is the Columbia Commonwealth. It is comprised of the former states of Maryland and Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia.

East Central Commonwealth (Dark Blue)

This commonwealth is comprised of the former states of Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Eastern Commonwealth/Appalachian Territory (Yellow)

This commonwealth has the former states of West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and of course New York.

Four States Commonwealth (Green)

This territory comprises of the former states of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

Great Midwest Commonwealth (Dark Grey)

This is the main commonwealth that the AU takes place (Because we know Mandela Catalogue takes place in Wisconsin) This commonwealth comprises of the former states known as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.

Gulf Commonwealth (Pink)

The Gulf commonwealth is combined with the former states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

New England Commonwealth (Bright Blue)

The former states within this territory are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Northern Commonwealth (Orange)

This territory comprises of the former states of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Northwest Commonwealth (Dark Purple)

This commonwealth is comprised of the former states such as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and the Northern Part of California.

Plains Commonwealth (Light Yellow)

This territory is comprised of the former states such as Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

Southeast Commonwealth (Light Grey)

This commonwealth is made up of the former states of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

Southwest Commonwealth (Light Purple)

The former states that make up in this commonwealth is Southern California, Nevada and Hawaii.

Texas Commonwealth (White)

The Texas commonwealth is probably the smallest alliance/territory. The former states that comprise of this region is Arkansas, and of course Texas.

That is about it for the general commonwealth information or lore. I know, it’s sorta of a boring post but I thought to put it out there. Stay turned for more posts. (I swear I’ll get to the characters soon, I just gotta ramble about this shit first lol)

Icon time! This is what I decided to use for my icon for this blog. Since Atomicdela is a Mandela Catalogue AU of mine, I thought to do a spoof or twist of the well known Mandela Catalogue logo. Instead of the red dot that supposed to indicate a recording symbol abbreviation of MC, I put the nuclear symbol in place of the red recording dot.

This obviously stands for the Nuclear Conflict/Background plot of the story, and of course I have the AD abbreviation standing for “Atomicdela” itself.

Anyway, that’s about it for this post. I hope you like how the logo turned out! Despite its very simple design lol

Alrighty, it’s official my first post on this entire blog

I sadly do not have a profile picture made for this blog yet but I will eventually (hopefully soon.)

(Update 9/9/2023: You can already tell I already have an icon lol)

Anyway, I thought to start giving out information about this AU and not just let the blog hang here for much longer.

Once again I’m typing this while I am traveling again XD (currently waiting for my plane to board)

I’m currently heading back to where I am attending college for my second year. But back to the matter at hand, it’s time to give out the exposition or the setting of this AU.

So like I said in one of my first posts about the AU back on one of my older blogs I said that this AU is basically the Mandela Catalogue characters are thrown into a nuclear fallout scenario. Originally this AU started or spawned from ideas of wanting to make some kind of War AU. Surprisingly and not surprising at the same time is that there were a couple movies that inspired me to come up with the idea. These movies were known as Dunkirk and 1917. And then down the line of development inspiration from the Fallout Games, The Terminator Movies and even historical events changed the direction of the AU.

To start off with the exposition of the AU, we must start off with a history lesson. During throughout the 1950s-Early 1990s there was a rivalry between the United States and Russia (USSR at the time) and this was known as the Cold War. One of the key events during this “war” happened in October of 1962 when the two superpowers had a 13 day dangerous conflict. It was the closest time when two countries were close to nuclear conflict. As we know, the two countries agreed that this confrontation would result in a nuclear conflict and then agreed a deal in which the Soviets dismantle the weapon sites in exchange for a pledge from the United States not to invade Cuba. (At least that’s what a quick search told me.)

But what if the conflict wasn’t resolved? Well, that’s the origins of how the story begins in this AU. In this AU the conflict didn’t get resolved as it escalated more tension between the two superpowers. (This idea might change in the future but this is what it is currently)

In this timeline, it wasn’t until 1981 that a Nuclear Conflict/War finally started. The USSR declared a nuclear attack on the United States, leaving most of the country in disarray. Most of the bombs were dropped on the major cities of America.

It also wasn’t America that was affected, the whole world fell into disarray, including the USSR. They fell after a few years of this war. But the main country that this AU is based on it obviously the United States. Well, a while after the attacks the country no longer called themselves the United States, but known as the New United Territories. Within the former country, there are 13 commonwealths that combined the former states.

The United Territories is now trying its best to regain to get back on its feet after the war. But due to the nuclear radiation and fallout of the bombs that had emitted the world became inhabitable, and humanity has been struggling to stay alive. That is the basis or the setting for the beginning of this AU.

Now, you may be wondering where does the “Mandela Catalogue” factor fit in. Well, I’ll cover that in the next post but it put it simply, the first part or the first act of this AU focuses on the character of Mark Heathcliff and Cesar Torres. Anyway I am going to stop here and make this post super long as it kinda already is. The point of this particular post was to get the background information of this AU first before getting onto talking about the characters and amongst other stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to read this AU and sticking with me. Stay turned for more information and I hope this AU still has you intrigued in someway lol

Have a wonderful day!
