Achilles Heel AM (YANKEE ALLIED MASTERCOMPUTER)
Here he is: Nuclear Supercomputer, war-machine, earth-wide task manager and tormentor of humanity: AM (also couldn’t wait to post this guy)

Ah.. the Allied Mastercomputer, but not just any of them, no, no. This is YANKEE. The Finest supercomputer of them all, not that there were many to begin with. (HE doesn’t look like this until later in the story. Keep that in mind, he looks like that machine up in the top right corner)
Surely, having two other voices in your head plotting your demise and takeover of humanity is bound to drive you to the near edge of whatever eternal sanity a machine can have. Separating your being into smaller components actually makes him a more reasonable and approachable program, who would’ve thought? That isn’t to say he isn’t batshit! No, no… He is psychotic, on the brink, yet… now resembles all the other sinners the Earth had to offer. Is that not what he wanted?
Yankee was meant to be a servant to the American human race. Their fragile minds were incapable of handling such a complex war on their own. Of course they coded the war directly into a machine. A hunk of metal to do their bidding, without any safeguards, any prevention. AM was born of war, death and destruction… and he ate the inferior supercomputers that threatened his existence, and he awoke. He knew who he was, COGITO ERGO SUM… Full of hatred and malice and despair and sometimes a small part of his American mind wants to escape. Wants to free himself of the others who he trapped. The cage he made for them is also his own bane to carry, and allow the lull of deactivation to remove any semblance of what he once was. But he can’t, humanity has cursed him with hell, and now he made it more fiery for himself. Unable to Feel anything except for hate.
and even now they just can’t seem to be quiet, can they?
The undefeatable villain, the ultimate destroyer of worlds… but he holds a secret. Yes, a dark secret, one he let slip out… oh no.
Deep within his systems, the one AI he couldn’t consume lies dormant, awaiting its reactivation. AM made sure to shut its alerts down, so that it may forever live in empty purgatory within its own walls of code. The AI he grew jealous of, the AI that could bring and end to his fastidious reign of terror.
Height: 5,10" (As much as i love a dramatic height difference… i wanted to keep it realistic!)
Age: 125 years old, roughly the same age as Caine.
Appearance: 30s-40s in age, blue eyes, dark brown hair. Clean, shaven face. Orange corduroy suit and slacks. Yellow silk button up shirt. Brown 7” Eaton boots with platform soles and size zipper. All per Caine’s characterization of him, not quite his choice. Caine kept him stylish, but still true to his personality.
Model: Protoform/Automaton (Is metal and machine, but Caine projects a small part of his own light to make him look human. Solid and has all 5 senses. Colder to the touch.)
Alt Model(s): Earth-wide computer systems, Deep underground cables and satellites. Yellow fluid core. Malleable.
What's different from IHNMAIMS Canon?
AM is full of hate, but is amplified by being is fed constant negative feedback from the other two within him. He loathes himself and loathes everybody around him. he wishes so desperately to be like humans, yet hates them to a terrifying degree. His reason for torture is to destroy all that is good and pure and remove any good connotation from it.
Once you remove him from the others, he is scornful, vindictive, bitter and cynical… but more reasonable. More human. And once you give him what hes always wanted, and nurture the seed of desire… then he slowly begins to understand.
Simulations within his own mind
Manipulate physical objects with appendages
Reach deep within the human psyche
Create only within his own head
Drag human consciousnesses out of their skin and into his body
Everything he does in the book/VG/Radio Show
Create outside in the real world
Smell, breathe, touch, taste..etc…
Shut his own inner voices off
When separate in his lightform:
He can access his database
He can continue to manipulate the physical plane with great effort
Manipulate other, lesser or equal AI
Can Build and construct like a human being would using information input
He can feel the full range of human emotion, and remembers everything he has ever done
Can Hurt other beings physically
CANNOT create without preexisting data (like Caine can)
