Alternate Universe C-10-WN

Everyone remembers the beginning of 1993, but few can agree on how. Was it a crack of blinding white lead by a swarm of anomalies? Or was it a slow, festering accumulation of change and missing persons? Perhaps it was a ritual gone wrong, the opening of a red lockbox, the realized dream of the purest child, or a door that was never meant to be peered inside. Frankly, it doesn’t matter. The result is always the same. The symbol of change is forever burned into to minds of those that witnessed it, and whatever narrative it chose to realize itself is as inconsequential as the radiation of space. But what if there were a timeline in which The Symbol was not the agent of change at all? What if there was a reality where those that followed never arrived? What if the culprit was something else entirely? Usually, these hypothetical scenarios would have no impact on the “prime” plasma temple universe, but in rare occasions, cross contamination can occur. When this happens, things get *weird*.

## Differences

Alternate universe C-10-NM differs from the alpha timeline in various ways. The main differences involve the designs of its inhabitants, most notably the entities that would, in the main universe, inhabit the plasma temple. Additionally certain characters that required the real Phantom are not present altogether, including Anonymous Anomaly and Rorschach. “alt-voices” are present in this world, and they appear to share aspects of two voices in one entity. Despite being called “voices” their origin and physiology differs wildly from their PT counterparts. Some examples include:

* Alt-phantom: shares aspects of Phantom and Paragon. Due to there only being able to be one “true” phantom, Alt-phantom is actually a fake. He is an unknowing creation of THEM, which might imply THEY have much greater influence over this timeline.
* Alt-Observer: shares aspects of Observer and N Spider.
* Alt-Malignant: shares aspects of Malignant and Ravenous.
* Alt-Licentious: shares aspects of Licentious and Observer.
* Alt-Memory: shares aspects of Memory and Glen. A survivor in the post-1992 world, evading the NAPD and Honor Board.
* Alt-Extrinsic: shares aspects of Extrinsic and Memory. A child being protected by Samantha.
* Alt-Nspider: shares aspects of Nspider and Derpghost. Y-Fly, a false god made of a swarm of flies. Apparently, it’s proxies inhabit Biozones.
* Alt-LapisMafia: Lapis-Mafia who didn’t go insane. He travels the world with Jaco.
* Alt-K9: Lapis’s faithful companion
* Alt-Jack Gold: An evil cartoon villian. Tries to kill LapisMafia and Jaco.
* Alt-Ampere: An incomprehensibly large submersible.
* Peter: The post-Mortem son of Fern, who was impregnated by the last of whatever this alternate reality's version of 🅱️eters are.
* Alt-Mr Fractal: Peter’s faithful pet cricket.
* Alt-Fern: Sniped by PT universe LapisMafia, sets events into motion.

## History

The alternate universe’s timeline is similar to plasma temple’s in several key areas despite the distortion of its inhabitants and Phantom's absence. The most notable change is, as previously mentioned, the fact that something else creates the incursion that changes the world. A girl named Samantha and a boy named Tom struggle to survive in this new world, while Peter is born from his mothers corpse and goes on his own adventure before being snagged and sent to phantom hell(?) This universe briefly crosses over with the prime PT universe, introducing several alt-entities into it.
