Character: Steve Burnside Canon: Silent Hill (just kidding, it's Resident Evil)
Interesting things about the character: - Steve only appears in one game, Resident Evil: Code Veronica. His current icons are from the graphical overhaul recap of the game in Darkside Chronicles. - Steve is actually one of the most widely-hated characters in the fandom due to his angsty personality, his bratty behavior and the fact that his original voice actor might be the worst voice actor in a series rife with bad voice acting. On the flip side, though, he has a lot of frothing teenage fangirls. His Darkside incarnation had a much better VA, luckily. - So why is Steve so goddamn moody? Steve's father was an Umbrella scientist who tried to make quick cash by selling company data on the black market. In retaliation, Umbrella stormed the family's house, shot Steve's mother to death and arrested 17-year-old Steve and his father to ship them off to their private offshore gulag, Rockfort Island. There, after months of subhuman treatment in what amounts to a concentration camp, they're slated to be tortured to death and/or used in horrific viral experiments.
Umbrella Human Resources takes employee loyalty very, very seriously. - Steve and Claire were the only prisoners to survive Wesker's bombing of Rockfort Island and the subsequent T-virus outbreak. Steve's father turned into a zombie and Steve was forced to kill him. - Somehow, in a bizarre plot twist that's left completely unexplained, Steve proves to be capable of flying a cargo plane all by himself. - At 17, he's the youngest playable RE character capable of defending themselves. (Sherry is the real youngest, but she's defenseless.) - Steve died at Umbrella's Antarctic base after he and Claire were captured by lunatic psychobitch Alexia Ashford. She injected him with her custom virus, T-Veronica, which then went haywire, mutating Steve into a Tyrant. He managed to regain control over himself, but the strain on his body (and being impaled through the stomach) killed him. - Wesker stole Steve's body to use as his personal source of T-Veronica, which pops up four years later in South America. - In Darkside Chronicles, Steve has an amusing tendency to break the fourth wall, probably because he's doomed to die anyway, so he can get away with it. - Steve is apparently an ass man.
Interesting things about the canon/fandom: CAPSLOCK EDITION (ahem) - SURVIVAL HORROR BITCHES! THIS GAME IS THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL! ZOMBIES! MONSTERS! SCARY MUTANT THINGS THAT POP OUT AT YOU! SHOOT 'EM IN THE FACE! SHIT, SON, YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER GUN! - THERE'S LIKE SEVEN GAMES ALREADY AND A BUNCH OF SPINOFFS (some of which kind of suck) BUT THEY'RE ON ALL KINDS OF PLATFORMS! PLAY THAT SHIT! - HOT CHICKS! YEAH, THAT'S EVERY VIDEO GAME BUT HEY LADIES AND GAY MEN! LOOK AT THESESEXYBASTARDS! THEY'RE YOUR PLAYABLE CHARACTERS! GET A LOAD OF THAT BEEFCAKE! THOSE HUNKS OF MANLY ARE GODDAMN BADASSES! I COULD STARE AT THE BACK OF THEM FOR A FEW HOURS WHILE I BLOW SHIT UP, HOW ABOUT YOU? - THIS STORYLINE IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS! IT DOUBLES AS A COMEDY! HOW CAN YOU BE TOO SCARED TO PLAY WHEN YOU'RE LAUGHING YOUR ASS OFF!
Anything else?: If you play it, you'll finally get this classic video.
