Hail, True Body (TMC AU) - masterpost
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS AU
Artwork by @catsharkie!
Just so it's all in one place on here and I can add to this post as new parts come out, here is a masterpost for my Mandela Catalogue AU called 'Hail, True Body'.
"Mark doesn't die in September 1992 and his friend Cesar Torres has been acting strange ever since his mother died. Things begin to unravel from there."
A Mandela Catalogue canon divergence AU where an alternate tries a little too hard to be human. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
This AU is pretty big and will cover the story of many of the TMC characters, but Mark and the alternate formerly known as Cesar Torres are one of the big focal points of the AU as a whole.
Off hiatus!
Next chapter update is coming in February!
Please be aware of each fic's tags before you read!

Lost Spirit ADAM wants to BATTLE!
Battle isn’t really the word, it’s more “show you the horrors”
Adam is the dark-type specialist, who you fight twice along the BPS story route! Once as a BPS Admin and again in a double battle under the battle class Lost Spirit! What an edgelord.
Team info under the cut!
Adam’s ace is a Zangoose! I love it’s cute but aggressive design, and it’s natural rivalry with snakes works with the biblical angle of the series. The biblical theming is stronger in Adam’s team than the others, which took some research on my end lol. He also uses a staraptor, as starlies signal new beginnings and innocence (apparently lol). He caught it on his first BPS mission! Also in the biblical thread is Flapple, an apple wyrm that I think looks like a snake! Snakes, apples, you get it. Evie has the partner evolution, appletun! They raised them both from applins, such fun couple activities.
Now for more pokemon symbology, absol is the disaster pokemon, said to bring ruin wherever it goes (though in reality it desperately tries to tell others of their prophetic visions). Zoroark is a shape shifting trickster Pokémon, capable of replicating the shape of humans and Pokémon alike. Sableye doesn’t have as much meaning, I think the eyes and general gremliny structure reminded me a lot of Catalyst!Adam. This one kind of skittish, and Adam probably caught it while sitting in an abandoned house somewhere.
