Okay, well I haven't been too active, but here is some awesome info to make up for it. I got it from my most recent run through LIN, so it technically isn't new, but some new stuff has come to light.

So, I reread all the documents, to make sure Alex's age was never even hinted at, and it wasn't, not even once. I also came across something else, and forgive me for not being able to quote, because it was probably a month ago now, but I recall Spencer saying something about how amazing it was that Alex could mimic somebody simply by looking at them.

I forgot how he worded it exactly, but I just couldn't believe I overlooked that before. Basically, that could be a possible power, or hobby....of his. It could even help explain why it looks like two Chris' in the trailer for Revelations.

Also, we know that Revelations takes place before the events of RE5, I'm sure I read that somewhere, and it certainly has to take place before the events of LIN, which takes place either in 2005 or 2006. Obviously Chris is built in RER, so after 2003 obviously. So I'd guess sometime between 2003 & 2006.

That's not it though! I think that the events of RER are mentioned in LIN, via documents of course. At one point it mentions how there was an osolated island out in some ocean somewhere, again, apologies for it not being fresh on my mind, and how everything just dissapeared. It mentions how Alex finally created what Spencer needed, something for his immortality plan, utopia, etc, etc. Anyway, It mentions how Alex, and all the research and everybody just dissapeared, and Spencer thought he was betrayed, so did I, but then I thought, perhaps the reason for Alex and all the research and everything dissapearing was because of the events of RER, Chris & Jill destroy everything in a classic RE finish to that game.

Which makes sense, the reason for them being on a ship in the middle of the ocean, which a wierd perfect storm going on, perhaps they are on their way to, or from the island, of course which is right up Alex's ally.

So now that everyone is privy to the new stuff, what do you think?

Really nice finds... That would be a possible scenario, although I'll stick to my Gaiden theory for as long as I can What I'd like to know is that was Alex ever referred to as he or she?

RER is going to be set in 2005 btw.

I think Spike has pretty much unveiled RER for us lol. If I had to bet, I'd say Spike has nailed it.

Nooo! It will be Gaiden! My prophecies! My precious...

Wow, I actually like that find. Really nice one too I would have never thought of
that. Hm, I might have to read more about these theories before I start going
"I likey that one" blabla

I think shapeshifting is definitely not out of the question. I mean...Look what the viruses can do in these games. To me pyro/telekinetic powers are going too far, and my mind control theory was pushing it. But shapeshifting I could easily live with.

Well in all honesty, whatever virus that was given to the Wesker children may just exaggerate each individual's talents to an extreme degree. Alex may have been very adept at nearly becoming people before the virus, and afterwards it might have given him the ability to complete that transformation.

That Al was adept at fashion and watching The Matrix.
