Of course we need a thread for the one that started it all.
Plot Synopsis: Lara Croft is contacted by the CEO of Natla Technologies, Miss Jacqueline Natla, and hired to recover the piece of the Atlantean Scion from an unfound tomb in the Peruan Andes. Ever the adventurer, Lara accepts the job - but soon discovers that she is not the only person after the artefact, and that her new employer isn't at all what she seems to be. With her fearless acrobatic style, she runs, jumps, swims and climbs her way towards the truth; leaving only a trail of empty tombs and gun-carriages in her wake.
Lara Croft Biography: Lara Croft, daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, was born in England on February 14th 1968. She was raised to be an aristocrat from birth, and had lived in luxury aloof from the world at large. From the age of 3 Lara began her learning with a private tutor. Lara attended Wimbledon High School for girls at the age of 11.
At 16 her parents decided she should broaden her education by studying at Gordonstoun, one of Britain's most prominent boarding schools. After attending a Swiss finishing school at the age of 21, Lara's marriage into wealth had seemed assured, until one day, on her way home from a skiing holiday, her chartered plane crashed deep into the heart of the Himalayan Mountains. Lara probably should have died there, as most people would have, instead she learned how to depend on her wits to stay alive in hostile conditions a world away from her sheltered upbringing.
Two weeks later when she walked into the village of Tokakeriby her experiences had had a profound effect on her and in that process transformed herself as well. Her Himalayan odyssey was both miraculous and enlightening, as the young woman not only survived, but gained a perspective on herself and the world that made her past appear shallow and naive. Out of the darkness of her ordeal, she saw her future reflected in a different light.
She felt profoundly that there was more for her in this life than the coddled existence that had become her numbing habit. She realized that she was only truly alive when she was travelling alone. Over the eight following years she acquired an intimate knowledge of ancient civilizations across the globe. Her family soon disowned their prodigal daughter, hoping she would wed The Earl of Farrington. She turned to writing to fund her trips.
Famed for discovering several ancient sites of profound archaeological interest and gaining some notoriety for having slain an actual Bigfoot in North America, she made a name for herself by publishing travel books & detailed journals of her exploits.
Lara Croft became the seeker of truths, both large and small, and in that pursuit she continues to this day.
Tomb Raider Trailer:
Plot Synopsis: Lara Croft, adventuress nonpareil, having just survived an apocalyptic battle against the last of the three ancient rulers of the fabled continent of Atlantis, is now piloting a yacht away from the former location of the island continent. Huge plumes of smoke, caused by the huge explosion that has consumed the island of Atlantis, billow up from the sea.
As she speeds westward across the Mediterranean Sea, her thoughts repeatedly return to the strangely beautiful cat statues that she came across in the city of Khamoon. It's a shame I had to leave Egypt so abruptly, Lara thinks to herself, I would have enjoyed spending more time examining the artifacts there. Unable to take her mind off of those statues, she changes course, southeast, towards Egypt. Ahh well, I haven't anything else on my agenda today, Lara smiles to herself.
