+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.

HELLO CARBON

This is Jack, and I play Daylen here (as a human rights lawyer, I am sure AM would LOVE THAT RIGHT) and Merlin (bravelyspoken, studying communication and linguistics and part time barista).

I DO HOPE YOU HAVE LOTS OF FUN BEING HORRIBLE HERE

HI JACK I KNOW YOU.

Oh man AM will be all over Daylen's human rights lawyerism. Alan studied anthropology in undergrad since he's fascinated by humans but at the same time is not a fan of them, so a lawyer advocating for their rights??? Wow, that's lame. This means CR needs to happen.
