+1 Evil computer

[adaptivemanipulation]

Greetings, Earthicans. My name is Carbon, and I have a brand-spanking new character for your game! For the past several months I could not get the idea out of my head of a malevolent AI reincarnated as a surly professor so... this was the result. In 1967 Harlan Ellison wrote a haunting short story supposedly in one night called I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, the main antagonist of which was the all-powerful, hateful, godlike, completely sadistic supercomputer named AM. Guess who I brought here!!! (There was also a video game based on the story made in 1995 but I mainly use the story as a source.)

AM has been reincarnated as an ex-military computer science professor named Alan Masterson. He also is the Major Shareholder for a budding company - Lemniscate Technologies. He uses that to dick around the employees. And as a professor he's a very strict grader, not very nice to his students. HOWEVER he is not the horribly malevolent, hateful, evil thing he was in the story... yet.

So because Alan/AM is not a very nice guy, feel free to opt-out if you're not comfortable interacting with him.

Anyway, you can find his info post here, and his full app is here.

I look forward to playing with you guys! My plurk is godofpaper84 if you want to add me there.

Welcome to the game!!!!! I'm Kalan and I play Garrus Vakarian from that little-known bioware game Mass Effect, reincarnated as Gerald Vakarian, a rookie FBI agent who tries his best to be as by-the-book as possible.

For pre-network CR, before joining up with the FBI, Gerald got his Masters' in Computer Engineering at LCU (and was a pretty dedicated student, if a little sarcastic), so it's incredibly likely that he probably took a few of his classes.

I look forward to playing with you Carbon! :)

Ahhhh Mass Effect - that's near the top of my "to play" list. For now I mostly know Garrus as "that character my sister named her cat after."

Yeah it's very likely Gerald took some of his classes! Alan may or may not have liked him, depending. He doesn't ever like his freshmen but he's usually fine with the grad students.
