History Characters / Crysis

* GlassCannon: Though he can still dish out the damage, he's a lot less tanky than Alcatraz or Prophet 2.0 (or even Psycho in ''Crysis: Warhead''), thanks to Nanosuit 1.0's much weaker Armor Mode. He's a little tougher in ''Crysis: Remastered'', as Armor Mode now reduces incoming damage to about 30%, but still not nearly as tough as Nanosuit 2.0's Armor Mode.

* 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.]]

* TheProtagonist: Of the whole plot.
** SupportingProtagonist: In every game but ''3'', where his copy is more up front.

Introduced at the end of Crysis 2, and 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.

* TheProtagonist: Of the third game.

* AnimatedArmor: [[spoiler:This essentially who he is. A major story element is Prophet coming to terms with who/what he is, since the original Major Lawrence Barnes committed suicide in New York 20 years ago; and Alcatraz, the Marine Barnes gave the Nanosuit to, is little more than the corpse that keeps the nanosuit human shaped, his personality having been lost at the end of Crysis 2. All nanosuits eventually copy the memories/personalities of the user, while consuming their physical bodies to be turned into more nanites for the suit.]]

* AngryBlackMan: Subverted. 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.]]

[[folder: [[spoiler: Prophet II]]]]

[[folder: Sean O'Neill]]

[[folder: Colonel Lee "Gold Lion" Kim-sun]]

[[folder: Commander Emerson]]
''''Voiced By:'''' Kathryn Akin
--> ''"Fine, have it your way, but you are on your own while you go off mission"''

* 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.

[[folder: Dr. Nathan Gould]]

* 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.

* GlassCannon: Though he can still dish out the damage, he's a lot less tanky than Alcatraz or Prophet 2.0 (or even Psycho in ''Crysis: Warhead''), thanks to Nanosuit 1.0's much weaker Armor 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.

[[folder:James "Alcatraz" Rodriquez]]

* WalkingSpoiler: The that he exists at all gives away the final fates of two major characters.

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

* [[spoiler: {{Transhuman}}: Implied. 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 possible he regained and merged with his nanosuit between the defeat of the Alpha Ceph and the events of TheStinger. Alternatively, he may simply be [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower just that good without superpowers]], old man or not, he was still in both the SAS and Delta Force.]]

* Transhuman: [[spoiler: In a way, the "original" Alcatraz died soon after being interred in the Nanosuit 2.0, as its pointed out later in the game that most of Alcatraz's thought processes are performed by the suit, not his own brain. Definitely by the end, when he really dies and the Prophet personality copy takes over whats left of his corpse.]]

[[folder: Commander Emmerson]]

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

* GreenEyes: Not that you can tell in the suit.

* DarkActionGirl: Former Navy SEAL working for CELL and Hargreave despite much less evil or impulsively violent than Lockhart or the typical trope example.

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

* BackForTheDead: In Crysis 2. [[spoiler:Technically subverted at the end.]]
* BadassNormal: As shown in the comics, he was already badass before putting on the suit.
* BadassBoast: Practically ''every'' line of dialogue Prophet says in the final mission of Crysis 3 is this.
-->"NO. This suit is MINE. Let me show you what I CAN DO!"

* 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.]]

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Thanks to the 'Suit.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: His opinion in 2 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]].]]

* AngryBlackMan: Subverted. 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. 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.

* FusionDance[=/=]GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: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.]]

* [[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 possible he regained and merged with his nanosuit between the defeat of the Alpha Ceph and the events of TheStinger. Alternatively, he may simply be [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower just that good without superpowers]]; dude is ex-SAS and Delta Force, after all.]]
