Resident Evil "Niche" brainstorming.

[Agent Regina]

Niche- A biological term meaning the particular role filled by a species in an ecosysytem.

"Evil unchecked grows, evil tolerated poisons the whole system." Jawaharlal Nehru.

-------

Even though Umbrella is responsible for all the "incidents" so far, the evidence against them is not preventing the organization from being able to grow and continue their research and development of B.O.W (Bio, Organic, Weapons.) and soon enough another incident will occur......

The setting is London......

-----------

This is NOT just a copy of the games being spewed out here, this is a Resident Evil rpg but I have made a complex plot to make it interesting to fans and non-fans.

You need not be a fan of the games to play, nor do you need extensive knowledge about the series to be included. I'm here to use my plot ideas on a rpg instead of writing a fanfiction.

I want you to understand that it won't just be shooting zombies and blowing mosters apart; there is a vast amount of puzzle solving and espionage when the group moves to different locations around the globe.

Character development is a must, as when they develop in the story you'll gain skills, better weapon knowledge and survival tactics becoming a great "horror" survivor thus being more capeable for the later events of the story. Emotional/psychological development of the character is also a must or else they won't be able to survive the mental "stress" of the story eg confronting fears, past failures etc.

For those of you who have played the games and know a great deal about the series, this will NOT include characters from the games. So don't think for a second that you could role-play as; Albert Wesker or Chris Redfield. (Those two characters are from the games: Resident Evil (1) and Resident Evil Code:Veronica X) Original characters are needed but you may be able to have certain "Traits" of your favourite characters if it's only slight.

It will be initilly set in London, the year 2002 Mid November, and Umbrella has set up huge pharmacutical companies and research centers however something is beginning to go wrong......

--------

Feel free to choose whatever you want, there can be more than one type of naval officer etc etc.

If you would like a different occupation do a bio and explain why you would like that which I haven't wrote up here. I want you to enjoy this rpg and so you will have to stick to your character so pick one you will like!

Ohh I like, very good! Love the part about the fear! *Regina now writes down the info and plots the story some more.* That may come back to kick you in the face but don't worry, it'll be good. *plots some more*

[Alexander Gaidarov]

Name: Alexander “Alex” Gaidarov
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 5’7 ft. (167,5 cm.)
Weight: 127 lb. (63,5 kg.)
Occupation: Manager – specialization for international affairs and negotiations
Blood Type: A
Nationality: Russian

Physical Description:
Alex is a young man of average height and slight built. He is an attractive and charismatic and knows how to make a good impression. Alex has grayish-blue eyes, blond hair and light complexion. His haircut appears to be causal, but in fact suits Alex perfectly, and serves Alex both to enforce a good impression he makes, and to makes others underestimate him. Also it is important to mention, that Alex looks a few years younger then his twenty-five, which too often makes others understimate him. Alex always dresses neatly and with style.

Personality:
Alex is calm, collected and nearly always polite. Alex also makes an impression of solid and trustworthy person, and many people find Alex rather likable despite the fact, that he can appear a little bit distant from time to time. Also there seem to be air of confidence about Alex, and he makes an impression of a person, who is completely sure in what he is doing, even when it is not so. However, the longer people know Alex, the more they realize, that they don’t really know what kind of person hides beneath polite manners, mild-temper and appearance of confidence and trustworthness. Though Alex enjoys a good conversation, he never talks about himself. Though many people find Alex likable, there is nobody who can call him friend, and nobody whom Alex can call his friend; and even more surprising is the fact, that Alex seem to be rather content with that, and wish that to remain so. Alex tends to smoke, but not much.

Background:
Alex’s life was ordinary enough in his youth. He was born in Moscow live there for thirteen years. While in Moscow, Alex enjoyed a company of his friends, and was a rather good pupil, even though he certainly wasn’t one of the best. But later, Alex’s life seemed to start go downhill. Alex’s parents began to argue more and more often and eventually got divorced. In result, Alex and his mother moved to from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and Alex lost contact with all his freinds. In St. Petersburg, Alex was transfered to new school and started to attend it. Even though Alex spent four years in St. Petersburg, he had only one close friend there, who died with his family in terrorist act on the year when he and Alex was supposed to finish school. Despite greving about his freind’s death, Alex successfuly finished school, and then returned to Moscow, leaving his mother behind, as he felt that she would be better without him nearby, as he though that he was giving his mother only troubles.
Once back in Moscow, Alex didn’t contacted his father, but choose to live at the hospice of the university, which he entered. During his university years, Alex made a few friends, but after three of them, including Alex’s girlfriend, forsaken Alex and two others died, Alex made a decision that he will be better without any friends. Alex broke relations with his remaining freinds, and concentrated on his studies instead. Even though Alex still enjoyed the company of his classmates from time to time, he didn’t ever let anybody to become close to him again. And thus, Alex had nobody whom he could really call a freind, and likevise nobody could really call Alex a friend anymore, including Alex’s former friends.
Alex finished the university at age of twenty-two, and quickly managed to find a job, because of his politeness, charisma and good education, which included good linguistics skills. Now after three years of working experience, Alext is consdidered a very talented manager and negotiator, even though he is still young and lacks expereince of older specialists. Despite Alex’s huge success in his job, Alex makes no attempt to reestablish contact with his parents, and he doesn’t even know whether they are still alive or no. And just as it was during Alex’s late university years, Alex has nobody whom he can really call a freind, and likevise nobody can really call Alex a friend, not even his colleagues, with whom Alex is poilte, but a bit distant.

Fear: Opening himself to others and/or letting others to become close to him.

Welcome Alex, glad to have you on board.

*warms up his hands* Alrighty, let's give this here a shot.

NAME: Vincent Scott Hanson. Goes as "Seph" (explaination will come, hang on)
AGE: 25
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 6'
WEIGHT: 175 lbs.
OCCUPATION: Ex-STARS officer - America
BLODD TYPE: A positive
NATIONALITY: Noticeably part Native American.
GENERAL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Vincent is a tall, built guy. He has dark black/brownish hair, a little more than shoulder length. He mainly wears his black leather trench coat, but on occasion he will wear a leather biker jacket, or similar. His eyes are a dark blue, and rather attention grabbing when he wants them to be. He walks with a confident gait looking like he can take on the world.
FEARS: Restraint, such as small spaces, or being tied up. Being tied up doesn't exactly make him freak out, but it bothers him enough to really get him to try hard to get out of it.
PERSONALITY: Vincent is a confident fellow, friendly most times, yet all the time he is dark and rather mysterious. He hides a lot and does so with great ease. He has a kind of natural ability to calm people down when they're stressed or upset. He tries his best to be selfless, but sometimes he is forced to think for himself because he is being taken advantage of. But be warned, if he is under suspicion that he is being used, his temper will flare off. Vincent has a BAD temper when he wants to, and can REALLY hurt a person if taken the wrong way.

Background: Vincent comes from a long line of Native Americans. His great grandfather was origionally a part of the Soiux tribe, and a great warrior at that. Vincent always looked up to his great grandfather's, Hantaywee's, legacy. He was the tribe's main defender for a long time. Every day he would train rigorously in physical combat, a master of the art, also training himself well in archery and horseback riding. Vincent's great grandfather was a master of combat. So Vincent decided to follow in his foot steps. When he joined S.T.A.R.S. he already had over 24 black belts and was certified by the NRA as a sharpshooter. His skills got him much respect in the company. He was their lead man in raids. He loved the rush he got when his team would storm a suspicious place and he would be the first one in. The worst wound he ever got was a knife wound over his right eye. Now scarred, but still handsome, Vincent fights on. Since S.T.A.R.S. dispatched he worked as a local rent-a-cop and bouncer for Raccoon City. Now, you're probably asking "What about the nick name? Seph?" That all comes from a short story some time ago. One night when he was on a raid he raided a place that was under suspicion of being a forced prostitution ring. When they recovered the injured and beaten women, some of them called him a "Seraphim", one of those dark warrior angels because of all of his dark clothing. Another one, younger, called him "Sephiroth" because he looked like the actual Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 in ways to her. So the team stuck to it and started calling him "Seph", "Sephie", and other names. Vincent personally prefers "Seph" but anything will really do. After S.T.A.R.S. disbanded, he changed his last and middle name to something more common than his origional name, hoping no one would recognize him from the Umbrella Corp. and try to take him down. He was an advocate in S.T.A.R.S. while they were under attack by the Umbrella corp and threw many an insult against them. He now hates Umbrella with a passion and will do anything to strike back at them for taking down the STARS of the USA.

Hmmm, might you be a fan of the series?

Anyhoo, great character, but due to your age you will be severly incapeable with fire-arms and will not gain such knowledge for quite some time! Is that alright with you? I shall write some more in your own thread for your character, so reply there ok.
