DETAILS ZU WEITEREN CHARAKTEREN VON
PRINCE OF PERSIA® 3 (Arbeitstitel)
UND ZU FARAHS RÜCKKEHR!
Düsseldorf, 22. August 2005 – Ubisoft, einer der weltweit größten
Publisher und Hersteller für Computer- und Videospiele, veröffentlichte
heute erste Details zu den weiteren Charakteren von Prince of Persia® 3
(Arbeitstitel), wie z. B. Kaileena und Farah, zwei wichtige Verbündete
aus der Prince of Persia®-Saga.
Seit Sands of Time wird die Rückkehr Farahs von den Fans sehnlichst
erwartet. Ihre Rückkehr ist eine weitere Verbindung zu den Anfängen der
Saga, die durch atmosphärische Rückgriffe auf den ersten Teil
unterstrichen wird.
Sieben Jahre sind seit Farahs letztem Auftritt verstrichen. In dieser
Zeit wurde sie weiser und reifer. Sie kam unfreiwillig nach Babylon,
nicht auf der Suche nach Vergeltung, sondern nach Vergebung. Farrah
wurde von skrupellosen Angreifern eingesperrt und musste machtlos
zusehen, wie ihre Stadt zerstört wurde. Sie konnte nichts für die
anderen tun. Diese Schuld frisst sich in ihr Gewissen – und treibt sie
bei ihrer Suche voran, seit sie den Prinzen zufällig in Babylon
getroffen hat.
Das Spiel erscheint im Dezember 2005 für PlayStation®2 Xbox® Microsoft und GameCube™ .
Secondary Characters
Kaileena
Backstory:
Kaileena’s origins remain a mystery, save for information gleaned from
“historical records” of rather dubious origins. The most common
theory is that she was created by the gods – an unwitting byproduct of
the creation of Time itself. An accident, if you will. But
this is a rather esoteric approach to explaining her existence.
It’s also incorrect.
In truth, Kaileena is a Daeva; descended from a mythical race of
creatures said to come from the hidden province of Aresura. This
explains Kaileena’s powers: her ability to foresee the future, to
reshape people into monsters, to levitate and use powerful magic
spells. But it does not explain how or why she came to reside on
the Island of Time.
The Island of Time is a dark and isolated bit of land shrouded in mist
and encircled by turbulent seas. Through a rather tragic (and
ironic) series of events, Kaileena fled to the Island and built a grand
fortress there – all in an attempt to ward off her untimely
demise. For you see, she had glimpsed her future – and knew that
one day The Prince would find and kill her. Too late she
realized, she had not built a fortress, but a tomb.
But The Prince – not content simply to change his fate - also
endeavored to change hers. He fought FATE itself – physically
manifested in the form of a creature known as the Dahaka. And The
Prince won, slaying the monster! Kaileena – who had spent centuries
awaiting her end, suddenly found herself free. The Prince offered
her a chance to begin life anew – in HIS time. Together, the two
of them left the Island (and the past) behind them.
And so the story should be over: happily ever after. Unfortunately it’s not that simple.
For Kaileena was a Daeva. And even in death she had power.
As The Prince would learn during the adventure of Warrior Within,
Kaileena’s remains WERE the Sands of Time. In bringing Kaileena
OUT of the past, he created a ripple effect: Without the Sands being
created, they were never found by the Maharaja of India – never stolen
by King Sharaman – never unleashed upon the unsuspecting people of
Azad. History had been altered.
Personality:
As our story opens, Kaileena begins to sense that neither she nor The
Prince have actually managed to escape their fates, merely switch the
environments in which events would unfold.
But, for Kaileena, at least, the time for running is over. Her
freedom, however brief, has helped her realize she spent too long
trying to outrun the inevitable. All she can do now is try to
minimize the damage done by their meddling. The desperate, bitter
woman we met on the Island is now a calm and soothing force.
She’s the voice of reason – the voice of prophecy – And she will guide
us through this tale.
Kaileena approaches events with a cool objectivity. She’s an
observer – a story teller. Because of her omniscient supernatural
abilities, her perspective is “wider” than that of any other
character. Clearly she hopes The Prince will succeed in his
endeavors – and this can’t help but color her speech. But alas,
she can no longer intervene. She – like us – must sit back – and
hope for the best.
It’s up to The Prince to finally set things right.
