Elexis Sinclaire is a fictional character in the ''SiN'' first-person shooter video game series by Ritual Entertainment. Elexis is the main antagonist character in the cyberpunk-themed ''SiN'' series, where she is a rich and powerful mad scientist who is secretly engaged in organized crime and planning to make an radical artificial evolutionary advance to the human race, and enemy of the protagonist character, private security force commander John R. Blade. She was introduced in the game ''SiN'' in 1998. Elexis is also the main antagonist in ''Sin: The Movie'', an anime film produced by ADV Films along with Ritual Entertainment. In the 2006 game ''SiN Episodes'', her design was based on the model Bianca Beauchamp. Elexis is often perceived as one of the most sexual (either sexiest or most sexualized) female characters in video gaming. As such, she received a polarized but mostly positive critical reception. ==Appearances== ===In video games=== At the beginning of ''SiN'', the beautiful, promiscuous, charismatic and ruthless Elexis Sinclaire is a genius-level biochemist and genetic engineer who is the CEO of a multibillion dollar pharmaceutical company called the SinTEK Industries. Elexis was born in 2006 and is 31-year-old by the events of the first game. Her biological mother Diane Kettle Sinclair abandoned her at an early age; during her upbringing she learnt from her devoted father, Dr. Thrall Sinclaire, and eventually took a position at SiNtek as a geneticist. Rising through the corporate ranks she eventually rose to supreme power after her father's mysterious disappearance. Elexis and SinTEK turned to illicit trades with their own brands of chemicals and drugs. Eventually her research led to the development of U4, SinTEK's most advanced chemical agent with mutagenetic properties. Ultimately, she secretly plans to overrun the world with her mutants and forcibly evolve the humankind, bringing about a new world order.〔Amanda Du Preez, ''Gendered Bodies and New Technologies: Rethinking Embodiment in a Cyber-Era'', Cambridge Scholars, 2009, p.119.〕 In the games, Elexis is nemesis of the player character, the private security force HARDCORPS commander Colonel John R. Blade, and they are both based in Freeport City, a "near-future mixture of San Francisco, Tokyo and New York."〔 After her narrow escape at the end of ''SiN'', she is missing in the 1999's expansion pack ''SiN: Wages of Sin'' but returns in ''SiN Episodes'', of which just the episode ''Emergence'' was released in 2006 before the series' developer Ritual Entertainment ceased to exist in 2007. Ritual's community relations manager, Steve Hessel, said "the resequencing process that put her DNA back together made her a bit younger, but mentally she's still her brilliant and scheming old self." Elexis appears only in cutscenes during the first game's single-player mode, including the pre-rendered ending cutscene. One of in-game character models of her is also available to use as a "skin" in the game's multiplayer mode, even as the players using it will always see Blade's hands holding the weapon.〔''Maximum PC'', February 1999 (p. 77).〕 The first ''SiN'' also features an Easter egg scene of Elexis masturbating in a hot tub, which is only available after using a cheat mode. In ''SiN Episodes: Emergence'', she only appears in person during the game's introduction cutscene that are run on the engine as she stands over the captured Blade while discussing her current plans with her henchman Viktor. She was supposed to appear in the next eight parts ''SiN Episodes'', but the series was cancelled after only one. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elexis Sinclaire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
