Resident Evil Roleplaying

""SHUT THE FUCK UP SOME OF US HAVE A FUCKING HANGOVER, ALRIGHT?!" -RPD

"May I remind you that I am not a person?... I am a god!" - Albert Wesker"

This is a rather trope-heavy Alternate Universe Resident Evil RP group found on Tumblr. It should be noted that there are Resident Evil Revelations spoilers being posted there on a regular basis.

Due to how there have been roleplayers who've left and their characters got reset, the plotline summary is being rewritten. The tropes relating to the characters who have been now taken out of the story be reset, since the roleplayers in question may not go with the different interpretations of the character.

The plotline
The main storyline starts out in August. Wesker is searching for more viral samples and has recruited the Wolfpack to help him. Several BSAA members get involved in the story (though it should be noted that Chris and Jill, despite being two of the main characters in the main series, have avoided most of this conflict). Parker ends up switching sides due to a deal.

Meanwhile, RPD, a sentient bipedal chain-smoking alcoholic licker, had recently been released from testing and is now being used as a weapon, being sent on missions. He and HUNK are sent off to a tanker (in is what is dubbed "The Tanker incident") to retrieve a viral sample. Parker ends up getting sent in as backup, along with Lupo, but Lupo leaves early due to her orders. After they end up in the hospital, it's revealed that RPD had a mind control device placed on him. Parker and HUNK

In November, Parker and HUNK get sent in to deal with Theta-Med, a rival pharmaceutical company. During the course of the incident, both

Due to a one-night stand, Excella is revealed to have become pregnant with Wesker's children (fraternal twins). Her character arc includes how she's adjusting to what's going on.

Leon ends up in a fight with Lupo. During it, she poisons him with a rare poison that requires one to constantly keep one's heart rate up, otherwise one will die. It is then later revealed that Claire is pregnant with his child.

Alfred ends up revealing that he's placed cameras everywhere. This causes everyone to panic, because Alfred put any footage of sexual acts up on the internet for people to watch. This ends up resulting in a fight between Sergei and Nicholai, who were involved with one another. Parker ends up mutating into an Oozelike creature. Raymond and Charlotte end up taking care of him for the duration and Parker's subjected to several. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Harold spend their time getting to know one another.

RPD is still working directly for Wesker,

Alex Wesker, Jake Mueller, and Sherry Birkin end up involved with the main storyline, along with Jessica Sherawat. Alex spends their time probing around, trying to get RPD to join their side with promises of a cure. They also offer HUNK a position as a mercenary, despite how little they would pay HUNK when compared to Umbrella. Jessica generally angers people, especially.

RPD

This roleplay gives examples of:

 * Aborted Arc: Due to many people leaving the group, there've been some major changes.

 * The Charlotte roleplayer is also the Raymond roleplayer.
 * The Wesker roleplayer is also the Harold roleplayer.

 * Actor Allusion: There are references to other characters the roleplayers has played in the past/is currently playing [even in other groups] or the players themselves.

 * Norman: Mr. Mask
 * A God Am I: Wesker.
 * Air Vent Passageway:
 * Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Very much so, especially when several characters go out to get drunk together.
 * The Alcoholic: RPD. Parker has shades of this.
 * All There in the Manual: This shows up on occasion, due to details that aren't terribly important or would squick people out being left out for simplicity's sake.
 * Alternate Universe: The only way to explain Umbrella still around after Resident Evil 5, how only a few of the characters know about very famous events, Raccoon City still being around, all of the ages of the characters being off (28 year old Four Eyes and Party Girl, but Raymond, Parker, and Wesker have aged normally, for example)...
 * Ambiguous Situation:
 * HUNK and Parker's mission in a Theta-Med facility.
 * Am I Just a Toy to You?: Claire to Leon in response to a comment he made during intimacy.
 * Anachronism Stew: STARS and Umbrella still existing as of 2009-2011 (?), people not remembering major bioterror incidents that should remember, character ages being off...

 * Anti-Villain: The Wolfpack and RPD.
 * Arc Welding: Occasionally
 * Artistic License Biology: Alexa is only one month into her pregnancy and the baby's started kicking. This is hand-waved by saying the pregnancy is developing two months ahead of schedule so it's technically three months along. Babies don't start kicking until mid-way through the fifth or sixth month. (The only reason this is being kept is because it's so damn strange.)
 * Asexuality: HUNK. Does not stop the Anons from insinuating other things...

 * You do not constantly tease Chris about the notion that he's on steroids for too long...
 * Parker does not take kindly to people killing civilians for fun.
 * You do not threaten peoples' children in front of either Lupo or Excella. They will end you if they can.
 * You do not insult Keith's mother.
 * Beware the Honest Ones
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Big Bad: Wesker. Obviously.
 * Bigger Bad: Alex Wesker
 * Bigger Is Better in Bed: It is normally a non-issue, because other characters having sex don't mention any specific sizes, though there's at least one or two references Excella makes to Wesker being on the larger side, because the condoms Charlotte was handing out for Valentine's Day were "too small," and Alfred mentioned that Parker is "well-endowed."
 * The Big Bad Shuffle: Albert Wesker, Alex Wesker, and Veltro. Maybe.
 * Big No: HUNK once.
 * Bilingual Backfire: RPD knows Italian, so he understands what Parker says. This ends up a problem, because he understands what "ora" means. ("Now.")
 * Bilingual Dialogue: Beltway lapses into Spanish, Four Eyes into Japanese, Lupo into French, Sergei into Russian, Bertha into German, Rachel into Swedish, and Parker, Excella, and Charlotte into Italian.

 * Bullying a Dragon: Keith when he taunts Bertha.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Beltway, Four Eyes, and Quint
 * But Not Too Bi/But Not Too Gay: Sometimes, Depending on the Writer
 * Canon Discontinuity: Any interactions between the characters in the RP group and other RP groups are non-canon by default.
 * Due to roleplayers changing, certain things are reset, to be fair to the newer players that come along.
 * Can't Have Sex Ever: Excella cockblocking Parker for a period of time.
 * Can't Hold His Liquor: Parker seems to be an odd case. He became an alcoholic after the Terragrigia Panic in-canon. Justified in that
 * Carpet of Virility: Parker as Type 2. He's described as being like a big, cuddly teddy bear. By HUNK.

 * Continuity Nod: Depending on the Writer, naturally. Some writers throw in quite a few references, while others keep it to a minimum. This includes both nods to the roleplay storyline and nods to the games.
 * Continuity Reboot: This plotline is actually the result of one.
 * Cooldown Hug: Quint gives Keith one of these after he fights with and tries to attack someone.
 * Cosmic Plaything: Most of the cast. (It is lampshaded often by Billy)

 * Horror, action, romance, comedy, drama, or a mix of some? Depends on the writer, too.
 * The style of roleplaying: Script, in the tags, or story?
 * Length of the posts: One line, a few, a paragraph or two, or half a page? Depends both on the writer and the thread.
 * And the emphasis on the Myth Arcs of the story in the roleplays. Certain characters are heavily involved (such as HUNK, RPD, Parker, Excella, and Wesker), while others are less so (such as Brad, Keith, and Nemesis).
 * Destructive Savior: Wesker thinking of himself as a savior, while him and his subordinates causing quite a bit of destruction, would fall under this.
 * Destructo-Nookie:
 * Did Not Do the Research: In-story example: Wesker either does not know or does not care about the Geneva Convention at all.
 * OOC examples include when roleplayers goof on details such as halter tops having arm straps.
 * Did They or Didn't They?: Sometimes shows up. Some of the roleplayers keep it ambiguous.
 * Ditzy Genius: Quint
 * The Dog Bites Back:

 * Evil Costume Switch

 * Evilutionary Biologist: Wesker
 * Evil Virtues: Several of the Anti Villains have things they will not do.

 * The plot thread involving HUNK and Parker has taken six months to write and it's still not done yet. It has taken up a few hours, in-story time. Maybe.

 * Eyes of Gold:  infected himself and this is one of the side effects.
 * Face Heel Turn:
 * Fan Disservice: Shirtless Parker. It Makes Sense in Context

 * Flash Back: Many, including:
 * The members of Spec-Ops have been doing flashback roleplays recently.
 * Tweed and Rebecca in Raccoon City.
 * Wesker and Charlie meeting before Charlie joined the BSAA.
 * A strange example is any thread that lasts longer than a day or two. It technically all becomes a flashback after a week, due to how the story is written in real time, where a normal day passing equals a day in-game.

 * Lupo/Chris
 * HUNK having a crush on Quint
 * Foreign Cuss Word
 * Foreign Language Tirade: Excella
 * Forgets to Eat: Four Eyes.

 * The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Sergei alludes to it at one point, likening himself to War and Wesker to Pestilence, wondering who Famine and Death are.

 * Genre Savvy:
 * Excella knows that Law of Inverse Fertility applies in this story's universe.
 * HUNK knows to not split up.
 * Gentleman and a Scholar/Cultured Warrior: Parker. Between the Divine Comedy quotes on occasion, fondness for opera, and multiple literary allusions, the politeness, and the fighting, he's somehow a mix of these two tropes.
 * Raymond also falls under this, due to his fondness for opera and books.
 * German Dialects: Bertha's roleplayer uses a generic German Accent.
 * Germanic Efficiency: Bertha
 * Get Back in the Closet: Averted. Some people outside of the group took issue with Raymond/Parker. Both the Raymond and Parker roleplayers responded to the questions and then continued writing the pairing anyway. They still get a few bothersome anons, but they are normally dealt with quickly.

 * Laser-Guided Amnesia:
 * Late Arrival Spoiler: A lot of the stuff is spoiler tagged on here. Certain spoilers are even revealed in characters' profiles and descriptions.
 * Law of Inverse Fertility
 * The Laws and Customs of War: Wesker completely ignores it. Parker even asks him whether or not he has even heard of the Geneva Convention.

 * Leitmotif: Several of the roleplayers have music players on their pages that act as this.

 * Mister Seahorse: Brought up at one point by Sergei as a joke, saying that Parker's possibly carrying Nemesis's child, due to what Nemesis has been implied as doing to him. Then it gets brought up again by an anon. Eventually Sergei and Parker discuss the concept as a whole. The reason given for why Parker would actually be worried has to do with how Nemesis may have Bizarre Alien Biology.

 * Multinational Team: The Wolfpack and the BSAA both fall under this.
 * Multipurpose Tongue: RPD

 * Naughty Tentacles: Nemesis has them.
 * Never Gets Drunk: Beltway and Wesker (it takes a lot to get them drunk).

 * Non-Action Guy: Charlotte.
 * Nonuniform Uniform: The Wolfpack
 * No Periods, Period: Despite the story going on for several months in the timeline, many of the female characters don't make reference to them being on their periods. It's justified with Excella, since she's pregnant. This is averted with Bertha and Lupo, though.

 * Pop-Cultured Badass: Quint, like in Canon.

 * Real Time: Aside from certain story arcs, the whole roleplay falls under this. There has been talk of stopping this, so that there aren't problems with certain storylines.

 * The Resenter: Four Eyes resents how Wesker limits her research.
 * Reset Button: Certain characters have gotten reboots (such as Chris, due to certain plotline issues; others are rebooted due to characters changing writers [Wesker is the exception, due to how involved he was with many of the plotlines]). The plotline catalogued here is actually a reboot itself.

 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Parker and whoever he's with. This gets lampshaded a lot. Despite this, though, he's still the guy that
 * Sex God: According to Alfred, who put footage of Parker  having sex up on the internet, Parker is this and even has a cult following.
 * Sex Is Violence: The whole premise of
 * Shipper on Deck: Parker spends some time trying to get Quint and HUNK, and Chris and Jill together. Charlie ends up setting up Parker and Raymond. Unlike Parker's efforts though, Charlie's plan works.
 * Shout-Out: Holy crap...
 * Ghostbusters: RPD really likes the movie.
 * Doctor Who:
 * Non-canon crack roleplays between Parker and Four Eyes where they have adventures with the TARDIS.

 * Timey-Wimey Ball: Non-time travel example. Depending on who you ask, the timeline will be different in certain places and in overall length (how many days passed between specific events). Chat RPs are normally considered canon, but it's hard to place them on the canon timeline.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Anons

 * What Measure Is a Non-Human?: RPD has problems with this.
 * Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 * Wicked Cultured: Both Excella and Wesker exemplify this, but mainly Excella. Being raised in Milan, Excella has an extensive knowledge of classical Italian literature, art, and music. This adds to her charm and makes her manipulative powers even more effective. She has also been credited to wearing expensive designer clothing and always having a professional, yet elegant appearance.
