History Characters / Crysis

* MajorlyAwesome: Major in the USMC

* WellIntentionedExtremist:[[spoiler: The creation of the Nanosuit itself can be considered extremist, but his methods overall can be considered this.]]

* CloningBlues: Prophet has a hard time accepting that he is not the "real" Lawrence Barnes. Several people treat him as the same, but often still point out that he is really just Barnes' old suit.

--> '''Hargreave''': ''Cleaning up - it's ingenious, isn't it. Think of the Argentine Cattle Crisis two years ago. Or the British BSE outbreak in the last century. The issue was not slaughtering the animals, that was easily done. The problem was disposal. What do you do with the millions of rotting corpses? Well, there you see the answer the Ceph have evolved. They wipe us out, they break us down, they reduce the environmental impact almost to zero. Exemplary.''

** "Better men than you have tried, son. Better men than you, and things so far beyond men you can't even begin to imagine them. Alcatraz - kill him!"

--> '''Hargreave''': [[spoiler: ''Ah - the angels of death at last: my escort to human frailty! Took ya long enough!'']]

* SurroundedByIdiots: How he feels towards the rest of humanity. Given that the Pentagon's two major plans to defeat the Ceph in New York were doomed to fail from the get go (1. [[KillItWithWater flood the city to drown the Ceph]].....except the Ceph are [[TentacledTerror cephalopods]] thus can survive in water. 2. [[NukeEm Nuke the city]]....except that they used nukes on Cephs before and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero it just gave them a power boost]].)....and the [=CryNet=] board wanted to kill Prophet (and the nanosuit program) even though his suit was literally the ONLY way to defeat the Ceph......[[VillainHasAPoint can you blame him?]]

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Collectible lore material in Crysis 3 makes mention of a Nanosuit'd CELL agent codenamed "Silverback" with his real name being "Lockhart". Whether this is Dominic Lockhart, or his nephew who was presumed dead during the Nanosuit trials, is unknown.]]

* YellowPeril: He is [[AcceptableTargets North Korean]] and the primary human antagonist of the game.

%%* BadassInCharge: Of Raptor Team.

* HotScientist: She is called by Tim Gillespie as a "pretty girl".

* AngryBlackMan: In the flashbacks of Crysis 2. [[spoiler:His discussion with Hargreave leaves it completely justified.]]

* AngryBlackMan: While he's mostly calm during the game, this trope is used to ''awesome'' effect in the final level of Crysis 3. [[spoiler: How do you resist a super-powerful EldritchAbomination's attempt to [[TheAssimilator assimilate you]] into its HiveMind?]] Prophet's answer is to get ''[[ThePowerOfHate mad as hell]]'' about it. [[spoiler: The subversion comes in that, while his personality is mostly based off of Barnes, if there are any human remains still within him, they are Hispanic.]]

* TheMeanBrit: He’s the most ill-tempered and loudmouthed of the group and is more prone to insulting people. Although, downplayed as he’s still [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold one of the good guys]].

* {{Jerkass}}: Pretty much sums her up. She doesn't like O'Neill's constant intrusions on the mission (even though they are extremely helpful) and argues with Psycho when he improvises in the mission, even pulling support from Psycho when he undertakes non-critical objectives.
** JerkassHasAPoint: While she is wrong about O'Neill's skills, she is going on what it says in his file, which paints him as too unskilled or unstable to assist in the mission.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eventually shows shades of this towards the end, being more willing to go along with Psycho's field changes to the mission, as they have paid off every time. And she really does have the mission's best interests in mind.

%%* BaldBlackLeaderGuy

%%* BaldBlackLeaderGuy

** EmpoweredBadassNormal: Thanks to the 'Suit.

* BlessedWithSuck: Subverted. Even knowing that the nanosuits are symbiotic and eventually completely replace every cell of the wearer, in a way killing them, he is overjoyed at the idea and EXTREMELY pissed off when his suit is taken from him. His perspective is most likely that even even merged with the nanosuit, he is still himself, just super powered.

* TheHeart: Acts as this towards Raptor team. He is more prone to emotional outbursts because he is more intune with his own emotions. He is the most friendly and concerned with the lives of his fellow soldiers and Marines. He is the first one to call Prophet out on his bullshit when members of their team start dying. But it is most prominent in Crysis 3 when he reminds Prophet of what they are fighting for and what they have sacrificed to get where they are, reminding Prophet of his humanity.

* TheSlowWalk: [[spoiler: performs one toward an injured KPA soldier who caused him to lose the Ceph container and to be unable to save the life of a Marine. Mixed with abit of ImplacableMan as the KPA soldier attempts to gun Psycho down, but Psycho's nanosuit deflects the rounds effortlessly.]]

* BaldOfAwesome
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy

* BadassInCharge: Of Raptor Team.

* BaldOfAwesome
** BaldBlackLeaderGuy

* DeadManWalking: [[spoiler:Due to the Nanosuit.]]

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Thanks to the nanosuit.

* MajorlyAwesome

* SupportingProtagonist: In 1 and ''Warhead''.

* DeadpanSnarker: His narration in ''Legion'' makes it clear he is a very snarky bastard.

* HeroicMime: Justified heavily. For the beginning, he's hungover, and then [[spoiler:his lungs are injured beyond repair]]. In ''Legion'', however, he talkative. ''Very'' talkative, and the 2.0 suit is actively making him more eloquent and verbose.
** That said, he appears to be the one talking and narrating in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOyD7SoY7LU&has_verified=1 Be The Weapon]] trailer, reflecting how the suit has made him an EmpoweredBadassNormal.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname[=/=]CodeName: Unlike the other Nanosuit wearers, his name isn't even mentioned at all, nor his rank.
** ''Legion'' gives his old human name as [[spoiler:"James Rodriquez"]], but only in passing. As far as he's concerned, his name is Alcatraz now.

* PopCulturedBadass: His narration in ''Legion'' is riddled with pop culture references, some of them quite subtle.
* SemperFi: He's a Force Recon Marine. In ''Legion'' his personality is very much what you'd expect from such a person.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: According to his narration in ''Legion'', he is actually afraid of water due to a bad incident in his childhood. He got over it for the most part during training, but the sinking of his submarine brought it all the way back to the forefront.

* BigBad: Of the third game, and the entire series, as it's revealed that he is the main planner behind the Ceph attack that drove the plot of the previous games.

* ClusterFBomb: Very fond of using the word "fuck".

The leader of the U.S. Army Delta Force's Raptor Team in Crysis 1/Warhead. TheDragon to Jacob Hargreave, as revealed in Crysis 2. Eventually his personality copy becomes the primary protagonist and playable character in ''Crysis 3''.

* BackForTheDead: In Crysis 2. [[spoiler:"Technically" subverted at the end.]]

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: a copy of him was one of the two operators of the Nanosuit 2 in Crysis 2. The entire time, yes. And in Crysis 3, he's essentially performed a GrandTheftMe in a benevolent sense to keep fighting in Alcatraz's corpse.]]
* DeadManWalking: [[spoiler:Due to the Nanosuit. Also becomes quite literal in 3, where his copy is literally walking around in Alcatraz's corpse. This is lampshaded multiple times.]]

* FusionDance[=/=]GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Of a sort with Alcatraz and SECOND over the course of ''Crysis 2''. See Prophet II’s example.]]
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler: "Had to break the link" to the Nanosuit 2, so he shot himself in the head after giving it to Alcatraz in Crysis 2.]]

* SupportingProtagonist: In every game but ''3'', where his copy is more up front.

* MajorlyAwesome:

* LoopholeAbuse: Averted. Lee tries to use this as justification for torturing Psycho. Lee claims that the Nanosuit is not a recognizable uniform, therefore Psycho does not qualify for rights as a POW. Abit of DidntDoTheHomework on the devs, as the Geneva Convention declares that a recognizable uniform is anything that easily distinguishes a combatant from a civilian, and the Nanosuit is VERY recognizable. Even still, the Geneva Conventions would still grant Psycho basic protections if he were dressed as a civilian. No matter which way you cut it, Colonel Lee was committing a war crime.

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: a copy of him was one of the two operators of the Nanosuit 2 in Crysis 2. The entire time, yes. And in Crysis 3, he's essentially performed a {{GrandTheftMe}} in a benevolent sense to keep fighting in Alcatraz's corpse.]]

* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known By His]] CodeName: Unlike the other Nanosuit wearers, his name isn't even mentioned at all, nor his rank.

* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: Collectible lore material in Crysis 3 makes mention of a Nanosuit'd CELL agent codenamed "Silverback" with his real name being "Lockhart". Whether this is Dominic Lockhart, or his nephew who was presumed dead during the Nanosuit trials, is unknown.]]

** BaldBlackLeaderGuy

* BadassBeard: [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110403205434/crysis/images/e/eb/Nathan.jpg Have a look]].

* AdaptationalBadass: His A.I. has been improved in ''Crysis: Remastered'' to make the fight with him more of a dynamic boss fight. He can now jump between levels, allowing him to run around the entire arena instead of being limited to the upper platform, and will use a combination of Cloak Mode and Speed Mode to vanish for several seconds and reappear at a new location whenever he takes a set amount of damage. This is actually a carry-over from the Xbox 360[=/=]Playstation 3 port of the game (on which ''Crysis: Remastered'' seems to be based), where the improvements to his A.I. were originally made.

* MadeOfIron: Thanks to his suit being overcharged by the energy burst from the Ceph vessel reactivating, he can tank a little over a full mag of automatic weapons fire.

* AdaptationalBadass: His A.I. has been improved in ''Crysis: Remastered'' to make the fight with him more of a dynamic boss fight. He can now jump between levels, allowing him to run around the entire arena instead of being limited to the upper platform, and can now use Speed Mode to FlashStep. This is actually a carry-over from the Xbox 360[=/=]Playstation 3 port of the game (on which ''Crysis: Remastered'' seems to be based), where the improvements to his A.I. were originally made (the main difference being he would use cloak mode to teleport instead of using speed mode).

* MightyGlacier: Kyong wields a minigun and can take a lot more hits than a normal Nanosuit soldier, but he doesn't use any Nanosuit powers (other than punching you with strength mode if you get too close) and therefore isn't anywhere nearly as maneuverable as the regular KPA Nanosuit enemies. This is improved in ''Crysis: Remastered'', which overhauls his A.I. and gives him the ability to use Speed Mode to FlashStep.
