UNLOCKABLE ROLES

On the
outside, Amanda
Evert was a graduate student of social anthropology;
on the inside, she was an intense chronicler of
the metaphysical. She believed wholeheartedly
that the common notion of reality is nothing but
a thin, drab layer pulled over the infinite truth
of the soul.
She studied
every religious and mystical system in the world,
past and present, and while still at university
was already something of an expert on theology
and mysticism. She had a pet theory that fragments
of a single, long forgotten mystical belief system
exist within the rites and rituals of shamanism,
witchcraft and many religions.
Her dream
was to rediscover this supreme knowledge from
the past and teach it to people so they could
gain spiritual enlightenment. At the time it seemed
more like a youthful dalliance than a true obsession;
something Lara considered harmless.
She was
undoubtedly comfortable with exploring beyond
the boundaries of scientific inquiry, but she
was also a brilliant researcher who was still
in touch with the modern world. She was young,
a bit bookish, not too self-confident, and a bit
of a hippy.
Her relationship
with Lara is typified by playful philosophical
banter; they disagreed, but they crossed intellectual
swords without becoming exasperated or angry at
the others' firm viewpoint.
Then
one day in Peru, while excavating a tomb Lara
believed contained the last queen of Tiwanaku,
her team of graduate students breeched a new room
and all hell broke loose.
Lara
was the only one to return to the surface, where
the team's structural engineer, Anaya Imanu, listened
in horror to Lara's story of how a malevolent
entity of some kind slaughtered everyone in the
tomb, except for Lara and Amanda. But as the two
tried to escape, Amanda set off a trap that sealed
the room, brought down the roof, and drowned Amanda.
When
players complete Tomb
Raider Legend, they will be able to play through
the game using the Amanda model!
