Y'all, I'm Andrew McKnight, I'm the double two age old, and I come from Austin, Texas - even if I might be anywhere, USA at any point in time, more to that IN!
ANDREW McKnight
Age: 22 (born July 13, 1997) Birthplace: Austin, Texas Current residence: Austin, Texas Occupation: Roadie Marital Status: Single Species: European Polecat Height: 6’ 0” (183 cm) Weight: 190 lbs. (86 kg)
I've always wanted to be a musician, ever since I got use of memory. I wanted to be a big rockstar, command the attention of millions, but God hasn't blessed me with the legendary amount of talent needed from the get go, so I've been hustling, bro, heheh. Not gonna quit until I get the dream.
One thing led to another in my life and all of a sudden I ended up becoming a roadie. It is not the commonest job, but I love it! These people adore guys who can lift, and in turn, they keep me happy with extra perks. Roadies live like the rock stars they tend to if they're any good, and I'm excellent. You need to be constantly impressing everyone, notoriety goes a long way in the industry.
I confess I'm a total gym bunny, hah. Since I was 16 and stepped my paw for the first time in a fitness center, I always wanted to become a super-polecat, and right now I feel the closest to that goal I've ever been. My time is now, not as 24, 26, 36, 40-something, my peak is now and you can bet I'm gonna juice it for as long as I can.
I'll be budbud with the competitors, sure, no one died from deciding to not be an asshole. We can drink beer, we can chill, we can joke around and shit, but once Ludwig says the challenge is a go, you become yet another sandbag to carry around and put you in place. Nothing personal, it's just how it is. And if they want to come to me with some bullshit? I'll just badmouth them to their favorite singer. I got my contacts, and I know how to hit where it really hurts.
These guys will very likely underestimate me because I'm the youngest of the bunch, that kinda goes without saying, if they make an age tally and see I'm the youngest by two days over the next youngest, I'm getting the prepuber brand, like it or not. It's true I don't know like... old people shit yet, I'm the only one in it with no idea of how to build a 401k, and I just learned how to not fuck up on my taxes. But youth is the key. I'm sure I can survive through much more than they can even think of, and I can't wait for the badass youngster to become the number one. I'll take down their show faster than I can take down Lollapalooza, haha!
I'm the American Mustelid Alpha because I got so much going for me, dude, like so freakin' much. This is one of the ways I feel I can become a rockstar and with that dream hanging on my face, I'll take down whoever stands in the way. I want to create a McKnight Empire, I want to be the kingpin mustelid, flex on the daytime, give you a show at nighttime - and I'm getting there, but winning AMA would make it a rockstar speedrun 100%... a video game term, just in case these guys too old for it, heheh.
America, if you're ready to rock and roll, I'm ready to rock the boat and hit number one in the charts. Mark my words!

Behold the Texan Longhorn! Andrew is a young polecat from Austin who's trying to carve himself a space in this world. At 22, he's the youngest mustelid to survive the selections, but he's made it clear since he stepped in Apopka that the word "fear" never existed in his vocabulary. He's not just in for the thrill of competition, but also to get a small revenge on all the people who doubted him as he grew up - namely, his parents. Is he gonna survive the grueling challenges lying ahead in American Mustelid Alpha, or has he bitten off more than he can chew?
Thanks a bunch to the amazing Crocdragon89 who took on the duty of drawing the whole cast and played a major part in bringing our vision to life! <3
From now on, we'll be posting each upcoming episode in two parts for easier reading - first part coming out on Tuesdays, second part on Thursdays. Episode 2, "What Are The Chances?", will be out on January 5th and 7th!
American Mustelid Alpha is the brainchild of HeadQuarters (the joint project of Qovapryi and Harlow). Andrew McKnight and all mentioned characters belong to them both.
