Character Bio: Prophet (Laurence Barnes)

Post » Thu Jun 02, 2011 2:33 pm

Prophet(Laurence Barnes): Highly decorated former Special Forces officer, now facing the limits of his seasoned physical and psychological prowess.

Image

In 2020 Prophet let an elite Delta Force squad, equipped with state-of-the-art Nanosuit combat tech, deployed to the Lingshan Island following a hostile incursion from North Korean Forces. Three years later, the mission remains shrouded in mystery, and the waters around Lingshan are interdicted to all sea and air traffic.

Conspiracy theories abound, and rumors persist that Prophet was the only member of his squad to make it out alive. His current whereabouts are unknown, though evidence has emerged linking him to the Hargreave-Rasch Corporation, whose subsidiary CryNet were responsible for developing the Nanosuit combat tech.

Yeah, I love the detail in character animation and apperance.

Kinda raises questions to what happened to Nomad/Psycho though. I dont really want them back, but I wonder if we'll find out where they went.

Looks like the suits protection doesn't protect from scars after being shot in face.

Also, Psycho and Nomad have to return. It's just impossible that two biggest badasses died just like that, off-screen. I hope that there will be some direct continuation of C1, because i loved this story.

If the powers that be wanted to keep the island incident secret they may have imprisoned Nomad, Psycho & Helena on the island, or quietly done away with them. Maybe Prophet himself set them up knowing that keeping the incident secret was more important than a few lives lost.

It says 'rumours persist that Prophet was the only member of his squad to make it out alive'...

So basically the whereabouts & fate of Nomad & Psycho are unknown.

My guess is they won't even be mentioned in Crysis 2 but they could be mentioned in Crysis 3. More likely to be Psycho as Nomad was pretty much a 'blank' character.

Psycho is a better side main character, but as a protagonist he failed. They should add in Nomad and Psycho to crysis 3 but Nomad is more important because he was the main character of the original and there's so much different background information and such you could add on. I really want to find out what happened to Nomad if he didn't die because he was kind of the epic hero type in crysis 1 so it would be cool if he came back in crysis 3 to save the protagonist in the nick of time quite like prophet did in the first one. I think Psycho can be sacrificed but he was a really good character and they could make it so that Psycho was actually a spy for the SAS in the lingshan islands that would be a cool add in.

I'm hoping that crysis 3 starts with a different character, so each crysis game follows the main events of the ceph invasion and battles: Lingshan Islands, New York etc with the protagonists being the respective heroes of each battle, if not I hope they don't continue with Alcatraz because I just find it annoying when a game just ditches the original protagonist in the form of a new more badass guy that they'll stick with later, thats like.......like........betrayal!

@ JackPumpkinhead

Its a videogame! Dont expect any scientific correctness.

I think Sykes and Nomad will reapppear in some game or DLC... they have too much story potential as that they could be declared MIA forever!

I think Nomad and Psycho are "Death" officially, but in reality they are just "MIA".

They could reappear in a DLC ......

There is/was a tremendous amount of evidence that we would be playing as Nomad again, but it seems like they made some weird last minute decision to change the character. The login name in the above video is Nomad, the voice in the be the weapon trailer sounds A LOT like Nomad, and someone said when you quicksave in the leaked beta the name of the save is NOMAD. There are other examples too, but basically it just doesnt make any sense.

i just want to pint out that crytek should not use the same old
basic storyline that is found everywhere and anywhere,
resident evil, left 4 dead, to name a few. about infection,
and destruction of cities that comes with it.
they should be more creative. this is what makes
crysis 1 a great game! sorry if i offended u.
