But What About the Astronauts?: Before the atomic war that destroyed the world happened, several hundred humans was put to cryogenic sleep in relative safety on a moon base to ensure humanity's survival in case of an all-out war.The sole survivor's body is dissolved in the process, but the mind of the character is uploaded to AM's control system, from where they awake several hundred humans kept in cryogenic sleep on a lunar base and start a 300 year process of terraforming the Earth to make it habitable again. Four of the five characters are dead, but they did so when facing and overcoming their inner demons, which allowed the last survivor to take down AM. Big Red Devil: Or more like Man with Red Horns and a Sharp Red Tail.Beat Still My Heart: Gorrister's heart is removed, but AM makes sure he will not die.Badass Grandpa: Hunched, elderly and wrinkled-as-a-prune Nimdok manages to overpower a younger doctor and kill him with a scalpel in a matter of seconds.The Atoner: Several of the characters, particularly Nimdok, a former Nazi scientist working alongside Mengele.As Long as There Is Evil: In the good ending, AM delivers quite the powerful speech on this topic.The only exception is Nimdok, who allows AM the luxury of pretending his tortures are about justice rather than sadism. ![]() His victims were chosen, not out of a desire for justice, but based on how much fun they'd be to torture. An alternative view is that AM's personality is that of a sadistic bully.A much more sympathetic character than Ellen. Also, Gorrister's only real flaw was that he was blaming himself falsely for his wife's mental illness and death, when his mother-in-law was to blame. All the characters are deeply morally flawed, it's just that AM plays on the sources of those flaws. Secondly, she had a strong misandristic outlook on the other characters. You could say that she was always extremely proud of her outward rationality and disdainful of its absence in others, only to be a bag of neuroses within.She's the subject of torture simply because she was a victim of rape. Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Out of all the characters, Ellen had no serious moral flaw.He goes catatonic to the point where he doesn't even fall down. Armor-Piercing Question: Not a question in Nimdok's scenario so much as showing a mirror that shows a person's true self to Doctor Mengele.Showing compassion towards the prisoners in the death camp he has been sent to, he feels horrified when finding out the truth. Amnesiac Dissonance: Such is the case with Nimdok, who was a Nazi scientist working for Mengele and sent many Jews to their dooms, including his own parents.From spending years living in Brazil? From having spent a century burning inside an oven? Or for being Jewish, possibly of Sefardi lineage? ![]() Ambiguously Brown: Nimdok is quite tan. ![]()
