Alex Mercer ([PROTOTYPE]) Discussion: A New World Order

[PROTOTYPE] is an open world sandbox game series for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 that revolves around the character of Alexander "Alex" J Mercer, otherwise known as "The Prototype."




Backstory:
Alex was a 30-year old scientist for Gentek and head of the Blacklight team, tasked with creating weaponized viruses using samples given to them by the government. With Mercer's Help, the team soon created a particularly potent virus codenamed "Blacklight." Despite his successes, Mercer was considered a potential liability by Blackwatch, an elite army created to combat exotic threats, and congress proposed an investigation. When he learned that a general purge was about to be unleashed upon the Gentek scientists, Mercer fled, fearing for his life. In the event he was caught, Mercer had smuggled a vial of the Blacklight virus out of quarantine and taken it with him. But Blackwatch was too quick for him. While attempting to escape the city by train, Mercer was cornered in Penn Station by Blackwatch agents. In a fit of frustration and rage, he threw the vial to the floor, smashing it and unleashing a biological apocalypse. He was promptly shot by Blackwatch operatives. As he fell, he collapsed onto the viral sample, becoming infected as he died. His body was taken back to Gentek in a body bag. Little did they know, as he was transported, the virus was reconstructing Mercer's body, cell by cell; his biomass feeding the virus as it replicated the still-living matter it had infected.

What is Prototype? Why should I care about it? Why should I support this character? He's a guy that is weapons? What is blade tornado? Is it like the Mario tornado? Why is this guy so important that he should be battling with the likes of Mario and Sonic? How does the final smash work? Is that description of the character just copy and pasted from a Wiki?

Well, at least there are a bunch of pictures. I still don't know how any of the moves work, but you have pictures.

Like Omega said, you need to describe why this character should be in, how his moves work, and possibly explain the origin of these moves.

I myself know who this is, but you did not give a good explanation, and that is how you hook people into a character.

Lol no

Add reasoning as to why this goon should be in. I see literally no reasoning. Also, the moves...why are you so lazy? At least tell me what they DO.

Honestly a Wall of Shame worthy thread.

Yes, someone move this to the Wall of Shame so I can remake it.

Moved to the Wall of Shame as per originator's request.
