Prey Video Game - Tumblr Posts
I’m sad, so have some facts about Player from my PREY AU:
OBLIGATORY PREY SPOILER WARNING
(Quick AU notes: Transtar aka shady space corporation is VILE, ACME is Kasma aka even shader corporation and direct competitor of VILE. The faculty is the board of directors/Yu Family. It follows the main canon of PREY, with a few tweaks to make it make more sense. Neuromods allow you to pick up skills with a single injection, but removing them causes complete memory loss starting when it was first added)
- Player is the second minor to have ever boarded Talos I. (Aka space ship) Offically, he wowed the faculty and was given special permission. Unofficially, there are rumours of Blacksheep - the faculty’s adoptive kid - pulling strings to get him aboard, though these haven’t been confirmed or denied by either of them.
- He’s still a close friend to Blacksheep, even after she begins the neuromod rapid removal/adding/simulation??? And changes her name(Was it ever given an actual name? Like the tests??)
- After the personality changes, he was one of the only people Blacksheep (now Carmen) would trust enough to even get near her.
- Blacksheep gave Shadowsan a specialized neuromod before she started the tests, with instructions to install it if one of two criteria were met. (1. The faculty failed to release her and 2. The typhon broke containment) Blacksheep-turned-Carmen gave Player a similar set of instructions. (December and January)
- Player takes the role of a more laid-back (and human) version of January. He helps Carmen escape the initial situation and guides her throughout the ship.
- Tigress hates him lmao, it causes conflict.
- He’s the only one of the gang who gets to experience being mind-jacked. It sucks, period. (“It’s what you want, Player.”)
- Most of the ship (before the Typhon broke containment) viewed him with either Distain or reverence because of his age and friendship with Blacksheep, it made him hella lonely before him and Blacksheep met Ivy and Zack.
SPOILERS FOR THE EPILOGUE OF PREY
If I made a one shot of the epilogue:
- Player is the only person there in the flesh, the rest of Team Red are operators. (Thinking a similar thing to portal with consciousness uploads?? Since it’s not confirmed whether or not any of the cast of PREY is dead and I mean... we know a lot about Brains in the PREY universe...)
(Listen I made the AU I get to make the rules)
- He made the operators.
- Hes very lonely, frustrated, and tired. The operators try to comfort him frequently. (It... rarely works) (“NO! No, I am NOT okay, Happy!?”)
- He’s maybe a few years older??
- He has Carmen’s coat, but refuses to touch it. (Player wants to ‘give it back to her’ when/if he can get her consciousness into a phantom)
- A few of the simulation-run phantoms have tried to kill him, he was mostly saved by his turrets.
- scratch that... a lot of things have tried to kill him by that point lmao
HA! I AM GOING TO USE IT FOR WHATEVER FANDOM I WANT! (Thank you)
Anyways, if a random is tagged below, ask my HCs on it!
