Some facts about Astar:
Astar Magdalene (probably not his real name) / Age: 26 (maybe) / Currently residing in Mandela
Was born during a period where alternates had become common knowledge; exhibited "strange" behaviors as a child which resulted in his parents abandoning him for fear of him being an alternate
Put in the foster care system where he was passed from family to family; treated poorly in most & was abandoned several more times for the same reasons
Eventually managed to figure something out for work & bought a cheap home in Mandela; lived there for a year, battling a worsening mental state & periodically attempting suicide
One attempt, where he tried to drown himself when he was 25, was successful, and he was clinically dead for a while. While dying, he had a vision of Gabriel, who told him his life had been meaningless & that he was "finally waking up." Paramedics managed to revive him after a passerby called them
After that he became fascinated by alternates; he wants to know everything they know & more, about their biology, and what M.A.D. is. If his life didn't mean anything, then he has nothing to lose anyway
Spends most of his time working online (he runs a site selling handcrafted items mostly but does other things too), but often goes out at night to watch people & see if he can distinguish any alternates, or actively chasing alternate reports
After his near death he's gained the ability to sense the presence of alternates; he gets a strange rush which usually makes him excited
Most definitely neurodivergent (the "strange behaviors" as a kid was totally just early signs of it)
Is most comfortable around people his age or younger; has a deep distrust of any older adults and especially older men
Abnormally strong for his size & agile; doesn't resort to violence often but if pushed, can get extremely brutal
Can you hear us? Can you feel what we’re going through? Fear. Hunger. Death. A never-ending siege. The silence of the world hurts as much as the bombs.
We're crying out to your humanity—please don't look away. Speak about us. Stand with us. We're not okay. We're trying to survive.
This is not a nightmare. It's our reality.
Don't forget us. Do something—anything. Share. Donate. Repost. Help keep us alive.

Not only is AI dangerous because of the implications but, even more importantly, it’s damaging the backbone of online society: Those of us who make stupid little edits in the free knock off photoshop app on our phones
They say the Devil is beautiful
Sorry for Astar posting twice in a row I just like this little freak 💔💔 anyway Astar doesn’t get pushed to violence often but when he does…it’s not a pretty sight. He doesn’t fight fair…he fights to survive
Since everyone's been asking about Gabriel's fear I'm gonna try and guess it :D
He's afraid of being wrong
More specifically, he's afraid of being wrong about his perception of humans, and what that means for him and what he's done. Probably his whole identity, too, since we don't know a lot about him and what we do know leaves the impression that his identity is built around his hate for humanity
Obviously, it's not a 'cower and cry and shiver like a mouse' kind of fear, but the kind that can be easily ignored until something happens to bring the thought back to the front of his mind, and then be swiftly ignored again, rinse and repeat until it can't be ignored
So, in a way, it's more like the fear of losing sight of who he is and his purpose
But I'm just throwing wild guesses here :p
This is a really interesting take! I'm assuming for this you mean AiA Gabriel, and if so, then I think that's an informed guess!
On that topic, though, I really need some of ya'll to be more specific in your asks in you're asking about CANON Mandela characters or AU Mandela characters 😭😭 A lot of the time I have to guess who you're talking about, and my opinions/responses will change depending on who you're talking about. If you asked me what I think canon Gabriel fears, I don't think he fears anything, because I don't think alternates feel fear. But if you're talking about AiA alternates, who CAN have feelings, then yeah I'd say Gabriel can fear something.
This isn't a purely dedicated TMC roleplay/ask blog, and AiA AU content will get mixed in with canon TMC stuff, so if possible it'd really help if you clarified more who you're talking about in your ask (unless it's SUPER obvious, like asking Gabriel about his barista job).
