Got Crysis 3 not long ago. and played the fuck out of it for a few hours. and I can't get enough of the Ceph. they're pretty cool enemies.

A quick recap about the Ceph, is that in Crysis, it's explained that the Ceph aren't aliens. they are in fact native to earth. millions of years ago. having developed and advanced ages before humans. going into hibernation when the climate started changing, but failed to wake up until humans arrived.

Woken up by humans investigating their under ground hibernations, they started fighting back against what they had thought were alien invaders. But were in fact the new sentient inhabitants of earth.

boneless squid like creatures, they make use of anti gravity technology to allow them to freely travel around in air as easily as they could in their original under water environments. otherwise, they use robotic exoskeletal suits to move and fight on land with gravity. their head occupying a helmet with many optical sensors, their body taking up the torso of the robot. with some Ceph sporting either tentacles or a tail that comes out from the back or lower back of the robot exoskeleton.

this particular Ceph stalker is of the Crysis 3 veriety, after having had their hive mind taken away, surviving ceph had gone feral and animalistic. these ceph traveling primarily four legged, with the front legs consisting of two jointless arms tipped with long blades, and their back digigrade style bypedal legs.


I've also really wanted to make a ceph character. so I'll use this one. after having lost the hive mind. most ceph had become feral, but this particular one retained it's intelligence, but lost it's aggressiveness. taking in the new environment created by the humans, it had adopted the name "Jerry" from a character it saw while scraping through various human media it could find.

keeping it's advanced intelligence, it was able to retain and make use of various advanced ceph weaponry and keep them stored away in a compartmentalization system used by ceph robotic suits. able to store several weapons at once to take out for use, and the suit's power systems able to power the weapons for nearly unlimited supply of ammunition. including such weapons like the Ceph Bolt Sniper anti-material rifle. http://www.lonewolf3d.com/images/Cr.....tning_side.jpg As well as cloaking.

Jerry having gained the ability to speak, but only through a fairly mono-toned electro-robotic voice, and is very meticulous and wordy with his speech. and often over explains things with rapid quick details.


so yeah. it's early morning. and going to try to get some more sleep. have fun with Jerry. =w=
