While my custom
projects will still be linked to the original Tomb Raider games
fictional 'universe' and background, they will now take place during
the 1920s/ 30s. This being the case, all of my future levels are
going to feature a new character called Melissa Goldfeld. Here is
some information about her and some the other new characters. More
will be added later as my project proceeds.
Melissa Goldfeld
Our
new heroine is an American agent working for a special unit that was
set up by President Theodore Roosevelt to investigate ancient
mythology and the paranormal. A former circus performer, she was recruited for her agility and excellent ballistic
skills which make her an invaluable field agent. Although not an
academic she is tenacious and a keen learner.
Colonel Arthur Hamilton Graves
Inspired by the early protagonist of the original
tomb raider before being replaced by Jacqueline Natla. Arthur
Hamilton Graves is a former colonel in the British army who is now a
mercenary and adventurer. Like Melissa, he is a member of the agency
although his motives for joining remain a mystery. He is known as a
strict authoritarian and staunch capitalist who expects the best from
the other agents who work under him.
The
Great Zorono
An
ominous figure from New Orleans who is shrouded in
mystery. He appears to be an Entertainer and Magician with an
entourage of followers. His true identity is unknown for he always
wears a comical mask. Many suspect him to be the leader of a sinister
cult in the Deep South. Those that dare to oppose him do not last
long and quickly 'disappear'.
