== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Prophet is a tech-obsessed operative within the Cyber Ops, known for his cybernetic enhancements and unparalleled technological prowess. Born in the arid country of Heliga and raised in the Aryaine Kingdom, his journey from a compassionate caregiver to a cutting-edge cyber-enhanced warrior is as fascinating as it is enigmatic.
Prophet's story is rooted in his deep fascination with technology, a passion that ignited during his childhood. His parents suffered from an undiagnosable and incurable disease, leaving a profound impact on his life. As a soldier in the Heligan Army, he took a break from his military duties to care for his ailing parents. Unfortunately, their battle was one that couldn't be won, and after their deaths, Prophet embarked on a new path.
=== Cybernetic Evolution ===
He enrolled in Nexima Robotics Corporation's cybernetic enhancement program, a decision that would forever alter the course of his life. In the era of the Futureline war, Nexima Robotics Corporation was known as NEX Corporation. Driven by his thirst for knowledge and a belief in the logical evolution of Nevians, he began enhancing himself with cybernetic upgrades. These enhancements covered a wide range of areas, including his limbs, audio and visual capabilities, and even medical enhancements. Over time, Prophet transitioned from being predominantly Nevian to becoming a fusion of man and machine, viewing this transformation as a crucial step in Nevian evolution.
=== Futureline War ===
During the Futureline war, Prophet's technological prowess was consistently at the forefront of their operations. While his talkative and sometimes annoying nature may test the patience of his fellow Cyber Ops comrades, his undeniable skills and charismatic presence make him a valuable asset in the ongoing conflict.
=== Post-Futureline ===
After the conclusion of the Futureline war, Prophet vanished without a trace, leaving his comrades and allies wondering about the mysteries of his disappearance and the motivations behind it. He may have been disgusted about the side effects of using advanced technology for darker agendas. The enigma surrounding his exit from the battlefield adds another layer to his intriguing character.
However, he later resurfaces during True Ultimatum, becoming a Stryke Blast Initiative operative.
== Personality ==
Prophet is a charismatic, talkative, and witty individual with a flair for technology and a passion for cybernetic enhancements. He exudes charisma, effortlessly drawing people into his conversations and making friends with his captivating personality. His wit and humor shine through his interactions, making him a memorable figure among his peers.
He can't help but brag about his extensive cybernetic enhancements and the cutting-edge technology at his fingertips. His pride in his cybernetic evolution is a constant theme in his conversations, and he delights in showcasing his achievements and upgrades.
Prophet's unquenchable desire for a perfect cybernetic evolution sometimes unnerves his comrades. His unwavering commitment to replacing biological components with cybernetic enhancements has led him to an astonishing 73.58% cybernetic transformation, leaving only a fraction of his being biologically Nevian. This quest for perfection is both his strength and source of intrigue.
His characteristic style of speech is often accompanied by a swagger and a boastful tone. He's confident in his abilities and technological prowess, and he doesn't shy away from flaunting them, often delivering his words with an air of self-assuredness.
== Abilities ==
Prophet is a cybernetic mercenary whose cutting-edge technology gives him total advantage over all his opposition. He has the unique ability to glitch himself to teleport to specific locations or to avoid being killed in perilous situations. His Railgun is notorious for firing a charged shot that not only obliterates its target, but also every enemy within close range.
Prophet is armed with two formidable signature weapons. The TRUC-4L railgun provides him with exceptional firepower and accuracy, making it a devastating choice for engaging enemies. Additionally, the Havelina AM50-E anti-materiel sniper rifle offers him the means to eliminate targets with precision and power, further enhancing his combat capabilities.
=== Glitch ===
The Glitch is a unique and formidable ability possessed by Prophet, and it serves various tactical purposes on the battlefield. Here are the key features and applications of this extraordinary power:
* Retreat and Evasion: The Glitch allows Prophet to instantaneously phase back to his previous location. This ability is particularly valuable when he finds himself in a precarious or life-threatening situation. By "glitching" back to his previous position, he can rapidly escape danger, retake cover, or regroup with his team.
* Reconnaissance and Point Man: Prophet can utilize the Glitch to take point in reconnaissance missions. He can advance into dangerous territory, gather critical intelligence, and then safely return to his starting location, keeping his team informed and guiding them through the mission.
* Lethal Weaponry: The Glitch can also serve as a deadly weapon. When Prophet teleports back to his previous location and there is an enemy in that spot, it triggers a devastating effect. Anyone within the radius of the glitching position is instantly eradicated, as if subjected to intense heat or energy, leaving nothing but ashes or melted remnants.
Prophet's Glitch ability provides him with a powerful and versatile tool for survival, reconnaissance, and offense on the battlefield.
=== Skills ===
* Indomitable Combatant: Prophet is a naturally skilled fighter. His raw skills have been massively amplified to a massive extent, allowing him to adapt on various fighting styles and ensure his skill remains supreme on the future of warfare. This also indicates that he has a cybernetic brain that is constantly feeding him valuable information.
* Brilliant Tactician: Prophet has outstanding tactical skills, allowing him to stay ahead of his enemies and allies alike. He makes no distinction, as he intends to get the advantage early on to maintain the upper hand in any combat operation.
*Master Marksman: Prophet is a renowned marksman. Back when he was a soldier, David was an excellent in qualifying for their marksmanship and has rarely missed a shot in combat. Now a cybernetic mercenary known as Prophet, his marksmanship skills have been amplified tenfold, even more so with the most precise sniper rifles made.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*Prophet firmly believes that the Nevian body, in the context of the future, is frail and outdated. He passionately proclaims that embracing cybernetic enhancements is the logical next step in the evolution of their species. This perspective on the symbiosis of technology and biology underscores his character's commitment to cybernetic transformation.
*As a result of his unwavering dedication to cybernetic enhancements, Prophet's biological body is now a mere fraction of his overall being. What remains of his original form is primarily concentrated in his upper body and head, highlighting the extensive extent to which he has embraced cybernetic evolution.
*Prophet appears to be an avid supporter of robotification. This clearly disgusts a lot of people, even the Stryke Blast Initiative members are disgusted with his views. Most consider his views to be misanthropic, the others considered it too dramatic.
*His quest for perfection in his cybernetic evolution is reflected in his desire to obtain a metallic skull. This upgrade would serve a practical purpose, allowing him to avoid concerns about being shot in the face when his helmet is not deployed, emphasizing his focus on tactical considerations in his pursuit of perfection.
*His real name is David Damson Pelington.
