Isaac Clarke

Isaac Clarke is the main protagonist from the Dead Space series.
== Charactah Account ==
Isaac is an engineer with the CEC, dispatched on the USG Kellion to repair the Ishimura. He is also looking for his girlfriend Nicole who is stationed there. He quickly finds that the Ishimura has been overrun with Necromorphs and has to fight through all of them while repairing the ship and rescuing Nicole. By the time of Dead Space 2, his sanity has taken a couple of hits and he has been locked away in an asylum on Titan Station. Unfortunately, another Necromorph attack happens there and Isaac has to once again fight to survive. In Dead Space 3, he travels across the galaxy in hopes of stopping the Necromorph threat permanently.
As a CEC Engineer, Isaac is extremely resourceful. He displays his best abilities in hacking, repairing and dismantling electronic devices, and has extensive knowledge of high-tech mining tools and other weapons, which he uses to his advantage when in dangerous situations. An example of this came about during the Sprawl outbreak, where he dismantled a Kinesis Therapy machine box in the hospital and removed its Kinesis Module for his own uses, along with a Stasis Module some time later. He was also able to improvise a makeshift Plasma Cutter using a flashlight and a surgical module when he tried to help a survivor. Due to his experiences on the USG Ishimura and the betrayal of Kendra, Isaac was understandably reluctant to trust fellow survivors. However, he would still go out of his way to help others if the situation allowed for it.

== Trivia ==
* Isaac Clarke is voiced and modeled after Gunner Wright in Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3. Prior to this in Dead Space, Isaac's face appeared somewhat more rounded along with a wider jawline and his hairline seemed to be receding. Although the player can clearly see Isaac's slightly battered face at the end of Dead Space, Isaac's visage can be glimpsed during the game's intro sequence. After the Kellion crash lands inside the Ishimura, the player can rotate the camera view around as Kendra and Hammond argued.
* The name, "Isaac Clarke" pays homage to the world's renowned science fiction authors, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.
** Likewise, the names of his parents, Octavia Clarke and Poul Clarke are likely tributes to the esteemed sci-fi writers named Octavia Butler and Poul Anderson respectively.
* Even though Isaac is actually 49 years old, he is biologically 47 or 48 due to the effects of Stasis containment during his three years on the Sprawl.
* Isaac seems to be very mentally resilient. He suffered from three betrayals, the deaths of several allies, three years of mental torture on the Sprawl, constant peril in each installment and he is still capable of communicating socially with ease. Except in Dead Space 3: Awakened where he lost his sanity and went against Carver (who was also suffering from hallucinations) to try to slow him down because of the heavy dementia from the Brethren Moons.
* According to the scales in the first Store that you came across in Dead Space 2, Isaac weighs 195lbs with his Patient Suit on. His weight rises from 195 to 255 pounds after wearing the CEC Engineering Suit.
* Isaac's cameo in Dead Space 2: Severed is a wanted poster marking him as extremely dangerous.
* In Dead Space, Isaac holds his Plasma Cutter with one hand standing still while aiming. However, in Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, he uses a two-handed grip.
* In Dead Space 3, Isaac wears a flight jacket with a RIG attached, brown gloves and a shirt with an unknown logo with the words, "New Horizon" and "Hope". This is actually a stripped-down version of the Hacker Suit from Dead Space 2.
* Nicole is not the only person that Isaac knew serving aboard the Ishimura. A comment in Isaac's "diary" (accessed via the Objectives tab in the Menu) that appears while he was on the Mining Deck implied his familiarity with some of the mining crew or even implied that he had been a crew member on the Ishimura at one time.
* It is revealed in the Extraction comic that Isaac strongly dislikes the Unitologists.
* In the PS3 version of Dead Space: Extraction, the trophy for completing the game on the Impossible difficulty is called "Isaac 2.0".
* In Dead Space 2, Isaac canonically takes damage in only seven cases (the Slasher that pins him down in Chapter 1; being tossed out of the train car in Chapter 2; being slammed multiple times by the Tormenter in Chapter 5; being assaulted by a Drag Tentacle in Chapter 11; being thrown off the drill at the beginning of Chapter 13; being stabbed in the eye with the needle from the NoonTech Diagnostic Machine in Chapter 13 and being impaled twice from a Javelin Gun by Tiedemann in Chapter 15).
** Interestingly, Isaac's gameplay health status only goes down in the first and last instances.
* Isaac is one of the only eleven known survivors of a Necromorph outbreak with the others being Lexine Weller, Ellie Langford, Stefan Schneider, Tyler Radikov, Alejandro Borges, John Carver, Robert Norton, Isabel Cho, Nickolas Kuttner and Nolan Stross.
** Isaac and Lexine Weller are the only two characters known to have survived both the events on Aegis VII and those on Titan Station.
** Isaac is the only character to survive the events of all three major Necromorph outbreaks and is also the character responsible for stopping all three outbreaks.
* Isaac has been likened to the character named Ellen Ripley from the Alien movies due to his surviving the outbreak despite a non-military background as well as the fact that he becomes a source of information on the creatures similar to Ripley.
* Isaac is a playable character in the European "Death Edition" of Dante's Inferno.
** Additionally, Isaac is a playable character in the Skate 3 Free Skate Mode with the code, "deadspacetoo".
** As part of the marketing promotion for Dead Space 2, Isaac Clarke is also available in Dragon Age II. The players could access the exclusive Ser Isaac's armor by using a one-time activation code supplied with Dead Space 2. This ended on March 31, 2012.
** He is also a playable character in the game, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale with his default appearance which was the Arctic Survival Suit. His rival in the game is Zeus from the God of War franchise.
** Isaac was also planned to be featured in MySims Agents, but was removed before it was publishedas it was said by the MySims Agents concept artist named Genevieve Tsai, but there is still an Isaac Clarke costume that you can dress your character in. Isaac Clarke appeared in MySims SkyHeroes.
* Throughout the series, Isaac shows unusual amounts of physical strength such as being able to dismember the Necromorphs with one or two swings with a weapon or by stomping on them. This is also exemplified when he effortlessly wields the heavier tools such as the Line Gun which weighs sixty pounds according to its bio-card.
* At the beginning of the Awakened DLC, Isaac's left eye is no longer swollen from the explosion that he took earlier. Also, Isaac's suit still has its helmet intact, despite him ripping it clean off his face prior to the battle with the Moon. It is unknown how his suit was suddenly repaired without a Suit Kiosk and also how his wounds healed so quickly though this could simply be an oversight from the developers or an intentional decision given the DLC's hallucinatory themes.
* Isaac seems to be resistant to many forms of damage that would normally incapacitate or kill a human. He can survive falls and otherwise fatal stabbings from the Necromorphs such as in the beginning of Dead Space 2 when he survives multiple stabbings from a Slasher while being pinned down. Near the end of the game, Isaac also survives taking a Javelin spear in the shoulder and another spear in his left hand from Hans Tiedemann before killing him. In Dead Space 3, he could survive multiple fatal gunshots as well as being thrown off a cliff.
* Isaac and John Carver's masks are available in the game, Army Of Two: The Devil's Cartel as one of the choices for the player's mask. Both franchises are published by Electronic Arts.
