+1 Evil computer
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

I'm Alec and I play this guy here - Sho from the movie Moon Child. In his past life, he was a street rat that grew up to become a mob boss and then was turned into a vampire by his BFF. In this life, he is a trust fund baby that's in America to 'find himself' and he brought with him his fancy sports car, his cosplay collection and his horse.

He is one of the pair of Jrockers that wrote and acted in a story that somehow mashed up everything except giant robots (the G-man saves that sort of thing for his concert storylines) so Rule Of Cool is in full-swing of the movie.
I did read the story in high school though I was one of those people who always thought that keeping one human alive in a slug-form was the worse punishment ever - as in not gory enough. It was during my punk 'studying horror for good ideas' phase.
