Character: Chris Redfield Canon: Resident Evil
Interesting things about the character: - He is six years older than his sister Claire. The Redfields' parents were confirmed to have been killed in a car accident. Chris at least partially raised her. - A former Air Force pilot, Chris was kicked out for reasons never really explained. Everybody's got their own theories, though mine involves his apparent inability to respect authority when it clashes with his Boy Scout Superman Hero Guy outlook on life. - He has also been a police officer and a special operative for at least two different agencies. Every group he works for seems to get brutally murdered by zombies and shit. - He spent a few months as a drifter and probably grew a really sweet beard. - The original male protagonist of the RE series, he's also the star of Resident Evils Code Veronica and 5. - Chris' best friend is his original partner, Jill Valentine. He has a tendency to be partnered up with improbably young, attractive women, including B.S.A.A. West Africa Agent Sheva Alomar, and in the upcoming Revelations, some chick named Jessica who wears a dumb hat and seems to be a whiny bitch. - He is an expert at pretty much every modern type of firearm. Chris was the top marksman in S.T.A.R.S. and won a trophy to attest as much, stealing the title from his close friend Forrest Speyer. (Forrest was later eaten by zombie crows.) - Visiting his junk-covered desk in RE2 and 3 provides evidence that he did very little real, actual work during his stint as a police officer. - I'm really not kidding about the boulder thing.

Character: Luis Sera Canon: Biohazard
Interesting things about the character: - His only appearance is in Resident Evil 4, where he actually has about seven collective minutes of screentime before he dies horribly. You spend the rest of the game reading his nerdy science memos. - Luis claims to be a former police officer when you meet him, and his skill at marksmanship seems to back this up-- he is absolutely full of shit, though. - He uses a sweet Red9 pistol, which IS the best freakin' handgun in the game. - He willingly worked for Los Illuminados, a religious cult/terrorist organization bent on taking over the world with a creepy parasite calls Las Plagas. How much he knew about their goings-on is left ambiguous, but Luis blames himself completely for his actions and has a MAJOR guilt complex about it. He was also accidentally in league with Wesker, though he was only trying to save his own ass at the time. - Most of his in-game research involves parasitic creatures that control their hosts, and Ada refers to him as a "brilliant scientist." So yeah. He's pretty good. - His inventions include an anti-Plaga medication and a laser that can destroy maturing Plagas from inside the body without killing the host. Said laser was somehow weaponized, which was probably also Luis' doing. - He also claims to be a ladies' man, but seeing as he strikes out horribly with both Ashley and Ada, this claim is very skeptical. - When you first meet him in the game, he's bound and gagged in a locked wardrobe in an abandoned house after being on the run from the cult for several days. That's why his hair looks so greasy. - This is why he's afraid of tentacles. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ58KB9kPRM)
