'''AM''' is the antagonist of Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story
The short story was adapted into a 1995 point-and-click
While AM originates from /lit/ media, he is also well-known in /v/ because of his game's classic status, expanded narrative, and the fact that he's voiced by the original writer himself. As AM has been given a body and a voice thanks to the video game

AM is
AM was included as a one of the original members of "[[Alliances#Team_Schizo|Team Schizo]]" alliance due to his misanthropic insanity. Some have considered AM to be the prime catalyst for the current schizo alliance the moment he was added to the background of the first crossover image featuring [[batter|The Batter]] and [[Grimm]], which would promptly end up spiraling into an alliance encompassing several videogame characters beyond the RPG Maker niche.
▲AM is easily one of the most popular characters in King of /v/ due to his unique "oddball" qualities as a contestant, like his origin in literature, antiquity, extreme personality and nature as a character overall, often allowing him to upset much higher seeded contenders. While his relatively simple design has made AM a frequent subject of fan art and image edits, he is perhaps most well known in the tournaments for ''HATEposting'', a series of roleplaying posts in which he addresses his opponents (typically at the very beginning of each round) and proposes a personalized trial they must succeed in order to defeat him, just like he does in the actual game with his human victims.
▲=== '''Tournament History'''===
▲While AM originates from /lit/ media, he is also well-known in /v/ because of the game's classic status, expanded narrative, and the fact that he's voiced by the original writer himself. He first appeared as a nominee for [[King of /v/ 2021]], where he successfully qualified for the main bracket as the 69th seed. However, some anons have noticed that AM was not subjected to the restrictions stemming from his origins compared to fellow /lit/ guy [[Geralt of Rivia]], who was the most notable guy that was disallowed despite being far more well-known for his /v/ series.
Nevertheless, AM immediately gained a presence in the contest threads; he received a good deal of fan art because of his relatively unusual, simple-to-draw appearance. The first round saw him defeat [[Alex (YIIK)|Alex]] from ''YIIK: A Postmodern RPG'', who was fittingly depicted in his panicked, hands-over-head pose. In the next round, AM subjected the #5 seed [[Baba (Baba is You)|Baba]] with overwhelmingly difficult and confusing word puzzles, causing Baba to surrender out of despair. AM then encountered ''Shin Megami Tensei'''s [[Demi-fiend]] in round 3, a demon who was once a human - and therefore a valid target of his misanthropism. The machine won by 40 votes and progressed to the sweet 16, facing off against [[King of /v/ 2019|2019]]'s bronze medalist [[Kazuma Kiryu]]. Unfortunately, last round's battle had left AM weakened, causing him to be finally shut down by the Yakuza Dragon as a result.
[[File:AMbloodtribute.png|thumb|right|125px|The infamous blood tribute to AM.]]AM would make act of presence
Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of the tournament happened during AM's encounter with #2 seed [[Vergil]], when an anon offered a blood tribute in support of the god machine much to the shock and horror of many onlooking anons. The quarterfinals round would be an encounter against bio-terrorist [[Albert Wesker]]. With Wesker unable to genderbend AM through genetic modification due to being a machine, AM opted to use Wesker's own strategy against him by massproducing female "AMdroids" to bribe the voters with, giving him the upper hand in the match. In spite of his best efforts, however, the supercomputer's run would come to an end by succumbing to [[Jack Garland]]'s sheer ''CHAOS'' in the semi-finals.
Despite falling short, AM notably ended up garnering a great amount of fanart and campaign posts this year, being the only character across the four main tournaments of the 2022 season to receive past 100+ booru entries.
AM will return once again for [[King of /v/ 2022|King of /v/ 2024]].
