History Characters / Crysis

* TranquilFury: In contrast to his usual hotheaded explosions of rage, [[spoiler: after losing the captured Ceph container AND being unable to revive the Marine he tried to save. He notices one of the KPA Nanosuit soldiers survived the fall. He calmly and quietly starts walking toward the injured soldier, before throwing him into the water and forcibly drowning him.]]
** A bigger example is when[[spoiler: he calmly confronts the Crynet board members before killing them. His tone of voice and calm expression serve to make him scarier than ever before. "Good evening, members of the board. I was a [[FlayingAlive guest]] at one of your [[TortureCellar hospitals]] a little while ago, ''and I'd like to make a [[{{Understatement}} complaint]]]].'' Surmounts to say that when he is yelling and being loud, he is only aggravated at best. Its when he starts being quiet that you should fear for your life.

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: what the nanosuits do to their wearers, subtly enough that they do not even realize it. Copying their memories and personality, even as they consume/convert the wearer's organic matter. By the end of Crysis 2, Prophet's personality (mainly basing itself off of Lawrence Barnes) exerted itself to pull {{GrandTheftMe}} in a benevolent sense to keep fighting in Alcatraz's corpse. The suit had tried to copy Alcatraz's personality, but he died before the upload could be complete, leaving Prophet in charge, but able to use the fragment of Alcatraz that were copied to impersonate him.]]

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: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, assuming there is still organic human matter within him.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld[=/=]TimeAbyss: [[spoiler: He's actually a HumanPopsicle in a secret vault whose brain is connected to a computer network through which he interacts with the outside world. He apparently froze himself around the late 1970's, and the fact he was an adult at the time of the Tunguska explosion suggests that even before he went into cryostasis he had already extended his life unnaturally, presumably using the same Ceph technology Karl Ernst Rasch did.]]

U.S. Navy VTOL pilot [[spoiler:and former Raptor Team candidate]].

* GlassCannon: Though he can still dish out the damage, he's a lot less tanky than Alcatraz or Prophet 2.0, thanks to Nanosuit 1.0's much weaker Armor Mode.

* [[spoiler: {{Transhuman}}: A popular fan theory. In the secret ending to 3, he demonstrates several of the Nanosuit 1.0's abilities: outpacing the CELL team sent to protect the Crynet board (Speed Mode), remaining unseen when targets looked in his direction in an area with little to no concealment (Cloak), and night vision in darkened environments despite having no visible night optics (Generation 1.0 Nanovision), and wields two .50 caliber pistols (thus using them 1 handed each) (Strength Mode). It's likely he regained and merged with his nanosuit between the defeat of the Alpha Ceph and the events of TheStinger.]]

[[folder:"Alcatraz"]]

* HandicappedBadass: An extreme example. Due to his injuries, if the suit fails, his time left is measured in SECONDS. This is displayed a couple of times where his nanosuit is disabled and he can only stumble forward at best, is helpless and dying on the ground at worst.

The player character of ''Crysis 3'', This Prophet is the result of the Nanosuit’s copy of the original Prophet’s mind taking over what remains of Alcatraz’s as a result of his death, creating a gestalt that also calls itself Prophet, with enough of Barnes' and Alcatraz's memories to impersonate either of them.

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: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.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Transhuman}}: A popular fan theory.

Unless he's simply just that good, it's likely he obtained some sort of upgrade between the defeat of the Alpha Ceph and the events of TheStinger.]]

* FinalBoss: Alpha Ceph is the last enemy that was fought in the entire trilogy.

* ArchEnemy: Prophet considers him as this, as he refers Alpha Ceph as the "strongest alien".

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of "Crysis" and "Crysis 2".

[[folder:General Kyong Ri "King Tiger" Chan]]

The military leader of the KPA's military operations on Lingshan Island

* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Villainous example as he doesn't wear a helmet in order to be more easily recognizable to the PlayerCharacter.

* FeaturelessProtagonist

* SemperFi

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld[=/=]TimeAbyss: [[spoiler: He's actually a HumanPopsicle in a secret vault whose brain is connected to a computer network through which he interacts with the outside world. The fact he was an adult at the time of the Tunguska explosion suggests that even before he went into cryostasis he had already extended his life unnaturally, presumably using the same Ceph technology Karl Ernst Rasch did.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler: Hargreave, who turned himself into a HumanPopsicle to extend his life, mentions that Rasch took "a different road to immortality". ''Crysis 3'' shows that Rasch has survived into the present day by integrating Ceph technology into his body, however this left him vulnerable to being taken over by the Alpha Ceph.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Transhuman}}: In the secret ending to 3, he demonstrates several of the Nanosuit 1.0's abilities: outpacing the CELL team sent to protect the Crynet board (Speed Mode), remaining unseen when targets looked in his direction in an area with little to no concealment (Cloak), and night vision in darkened environments despite having no visible night optics (Generation 1.0 Nanovision), and wields two .50 caliber pistols (thus using them 1 handed each) (Strength Mode). It's likely he obtained some sort of upgrade between the defeat of the Alpha Ceph and the events of TheStinger.]]

* ContractualBossImmunity: Averted. Kyong's suit may be overcharged and able to soak more damage, but he's still a human-sized opponent and thus subject to the game's physics system. Thrown objects will knock him to the ground and stun him, and you can even knock him into a nearby pool of water where he'll drown.

* KickTheDog: He shoots a technician in the face for telling him his plan to open the Ceph ship is dangerous.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld[=/=]TimeAbyss: [[spoiler:See FridgeLogic on the main page.]]

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled[=/=]DrivenToSuicide: In ''Crysis: Escalation'', 24 hours after the U.S. government ''sells the Marine Corps'' to CELL, a group of CELL operatives arrives at his home to arrest him for [[InsaneTrollLogic treason against CELL.]] He kills the first group of 8 sent to take him in, but after seeing more reinforcements arrive, he chooses to shoot himself.

* PutOnABus: In the third game, a dataslate says he was able to get a job as a biomedical engineer.

* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:Prophet lets him do this, breaking the link to the HiveMind before a Ceph kills him.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:See Hargreave.]]

** BroughtDownToBadass: Even after CELL skins off his Nanosuit, he's still a very competent BadassNormal, showing off exactly why he was in both Delta Force and the British SAS. [[spoiler: Subverted, see Transhuman below.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Transhuman}}: In the secret ending to 3, he demonstrates several of the Nanosuit 1.0's abilities: outpacing the CELL team sent to protect the Crynet board (Speed Mode), remaining unseen when targets looked in his direction in an area with little to no concealment (Cloak), and night vision in darkened environments despite having no visible night optics (Generation 1.0 Nanovision), and wields two .50 caliber pistols (thus using them 1 handed each) (Strength Mode).]]

* DeadPersonImpersonation: it assumes Prophet’s identity. [[spoiler:The revisions in ''Crysis 3'' turn the entirety of ''Crysis: Legion'' also into this; turns out Prophet was using what small fragments were left of Alcatraz to impersonate Alcatraz in front of Marine command.]]
* FusionDance[=/=]GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Of a sort with Alcatraz and SECOND over the course of ''Crysis 2''. By the time of ''Crysis 3'', neither Barnes nor Alcatraz exists anymore. They've merged into a gestalt that also calls itself Prophet, with enough of Barnes' and Alcatraz's memories to impersonate either of them.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: His opinion in 2 and 3 is that while he's willing to use his abilities to help, he'd happily remove his suit and move on. [[spoiler:Pity [[ClingyCostume he]] [[BlessedWithSuck can't]] [[DeadManWalking do that]].]]

* MajorlyAwesome

** 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.
* BackForTheDead: In Crysis 2. [[spoiler:Subverted at the end.]]

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: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 he is literally walking around in Alcatraz's corpse. This is lampshaded multiple times.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: In 3 [[spoiler:and ''Legion'']].
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:The revisions in ''Crysis 3'' turn the entirety of ''Crysis: Legion'' into this; turns out Prophet was using what small fragments were left of Alcatraz to impersonate Alcatraz in front of Marine command.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[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.]][[spoiler: It didn't stick.]]

* FusionDance[=/=]GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Of a sort with Alcatraz and SECOND over the course of ''Crysis 2''. By the time of ''Crysis 3'', neither Barnes nor Alcatraz exists anymore. They've merged into a gestalt that also calls itself Prophet, with enough of Barnes' and Alcatraz's memories to impersonate either of them.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: His opinion in 2 and 3 is that while he's willing to use his abilities to help, he'd happily remove his suit and move on. [[spoiler:Pity [[ClingyCostume he]] [[BlessedWithSuck can't]] [[DeadManWalking do that]].]]
* LastOfHisKind: Subverted in 3. While he's the last anti-CELL Nanosuit wearer to not end up "skinned", [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary information in intel items]] reveals that [[EvilCounterpart they have their own operator]], [[TheGhost Silverback]]. [[spoiler: And the secret ending of 3 heavily implies that Psycho had several of his Nanosuit's abilities merged into him.]]

** SupportingProtagonist: In every game but ''3'', where he's more up front.
* RedRightHand: In ''3'', [[spoiler: the Nanosuit's replication of Prophet's human body would be perfect if not for the glowing bits in his eyes.]]
* {{Transhuman}}: [[spoiler:Becomes this over the course of the main games and the process is completed by the end, when the unlocked Nanosuit 2.0 assumes the form of Barnes' human body and demonstrates its cloaking ability in that form.]]

* FusionDance[=/=]GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Of a sort with SECOND and Prophet over the course of ''Crysis 2''. See Prophet's example.]]

* BadassInCharge: Of Raptor Team.

* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler:How he views the Nanosuits after learning they are symbiotic.]]

* DeadManWalking: [[spoiler:Due to the Nanosuit. Also becomes quite literal in 3, where he is literally walking around in Alcatraz's corpse. This is lampshaded multiple times.]]

* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:The revisions in ''Crysis 3'' turn the entirety of ''Crysis: Legion'' into this; turns out Prophet was using what small fragments were left of Alcatraz to impersonate Alcatraz in front of Marine command.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[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.]][[spoiler: It didn't stick.]]

** SupportingProtagonist: In every game but ''3'', where he's more up front.

* FusionDance: [[spoiler:With Prophet and Alcatraz over the course of Crysis 2.]]

* FusionDance[=/=]GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Of a sort with Alcatraz and SECOND over the course of ''Crysis 2''. By the time of ''Crysis 3'', neither Barnes nor Alcatraz exists anymore. They've merged into a gestalt that calls itself Prophet, with enough of Barnes' and Alcatraz's memories to impersonate either of them.]]

[[folder:James "Alcatraz" Rodriquez]]

* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Villainous example. Like General Kyong, Colonel Lee does not wear a helmet in order to be more recognizable. He does, however, wear some aviator sunglasses.

* Jerkass: Pretty much sums her up. She doesn't like O'Neill's constant intrusions on the mission (even tho 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.

* 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 [[EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods 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 tho his suit was literally the ONLY way to defeat the Ceph......[[VillainHasAPoint can you blame him?]]
