insertmeathere | CANON INFORMATION NIGHT!

The game's pretty big isn't it? With so many characters it's sometimes hard to keep up with everyone's canon and character backgrounds. Not to mention that the apps aren't always placed in the character's journal, and it leaves you wondering how they are, or even where they come from.

WELL WONDER NO MORE! It's time for a canon and character night!

The idea behind this post is primarily an information exchange. Just fill in this form, and think about factoids and things in a list form. Remember, you're trying to sell your character & canon to others, so talk about what makes them unique and fun. With any luck, you'll learn some new things about other people's characters that you can base relationships or friendships on, or even find a new fandom which catches your interest!

Note: Please mark the top of your thread with the canon. This way, other people in your canon can add whatever they want to it, such as their character stuff, and other cool factoids about the canon that they might remember.

You are perfectly fine and more than allowed to ask questions about the fandoms to the other players if you wish as well!

~~AKA GG fills out one post for 75% of her characters!~~

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. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuXkVzBdJQ)

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)

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 THESE SEXY BASTARDS! 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.

I approve of this post x5000.

beautiful post. It's so intriguing, all of it. But I'm still too scared to play.
