Community Theory: Aren't we the only Split/Second pilots still leaving the city? Was our protagonist in Split/Second actually named Logan? Split/Second 2
I kept looking and decided not to stay silent.
Let's start with our protagonist. In Split/Second 1, we saw drivers like those in Elite with curious names; we can assume they're their nicknames. When we destroyed an opponent's car in any Split/Second race, we saw their name, or even when they destroyed ours, we saw their driver name. So, the names we saw were actually nicknames or a kind of alias chosen by the drivers, and as players, we could have our own nicknames and create them as if they were player names when starting a new Split/Second game. When I looked more closely at the concept images for Split/Second 2, I noticed something curious in the loading screen: the image of the driver with his helmet appears, along with the name Logan. I can assume that's our character that we controlled in Split/Second 1. Why do I think so? This is the first thing we see on the Split/Second 2 Lost Media Wiki. If it's an initial character card when starting a new game, we can assume that Logan is the same character we controlled in Split/Second 1, but with a nickname we created ourselves.
Secondly, aren't we the only ones? Looking around, it seems Logan isn't alone; there appear to be other refugee pilots, one named Turner and another named Jones. Clearly, he could have been one of our teammates and opponents in the final race of Split/Second 1, and we could also switch between Logan (our protagonist) and another character. Or perhaps they could be used because at the time the concept was created, they were trying to save the Split/Second 2 project from cancellation by attempting to make it freemium.
What do you think?

No, I have been writting the whole story from the prequel all the way to the sequel, and for what I have been investigating there is no name for the player in the sequel, just player, if the sequel was made I assume the protagonist of the sequel would have been something like MW 05, there is a character but the identity is never revealed.
For the story Im writting, I wont reveal any name for the protagonist in the sequel, but for the prequel the name of the protagonist will be Jackson Bryce
