Line 77:
* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|Her look in ''Resident Evil 5'' resembles [[Haunting Ground|Fiona Belli]]}}.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: In the first game, she has less health than Chris, but was faster than him. She is also this type of character in ''The Mercenaries'' mini-games, typically packing low power [[More Dakka|rapid fire]] weapons with powerful [[Kick Chick|kicking attacks]], [[Murderous Thighs]] and low vitality.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: As shown in
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Brad's right; out of all the female characters, Jill fits this trope the best.
* [[The Immune]]: As per ''Resident Evil 5'', Jill is basically a walking sack of antibodies. {{spoiler|1=Whatever Carlos injected her with in ''Resident Evil 3'' has given her complete immunity to the T-
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' states that, yes, she ''did'' have the nickname "The Master of Unlocking" at the RPD.
** [[Ascended Meme]]/[[Fandom Nod]]
Line 115:
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: In ''Resident Evil Zero'', both her and Billy need to [[Kill It with Fire]] with leech-zombies. In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', her counterattack is pushing the zombie off and throwing a small explosive at it. In the ''Resident Evil'' remake, she says how she needs to set off the self-destruct mechanism in Chris's scenario. It may be important to contain the outbreak, but that's also all the proof that STARS is going to get... In ''Mercenaries Reunion'', she gets flame spray.
* [[The Medic]]: Her job on the STARS squad: in the first game, she can heal Chris when he visits her in the first aid room of the mansion, and in ''The Mercenaries'' mini-games, she starts of with and benefits more from medical items.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Her unlockable costumes are probably the most fanservicey, most of them [[Bare Your Midriff|leaving her tummy bare]]. Her "evil" costume from the remaster of ''0'' has [[Zettai Ryouiki]] and booty shorts. Probably the best known of Becky's alternate fanservicey getups is her RPD basketball kit she wears on the [[Easter Egg]] photo that you can find in Wesker's desk in ''2'': a matching pair consisting of a green sports bra and green booty shorts, a red headband and green Converse All-Stars.
* [[Science Hero]]: Rebecca's specialties other then medicine being handling chemicals, including those that result in the take-down of the [[Man-Eating Plant]].
* [[Teen Genius]]: The reason for her [[Improbable Age]], she is a newly minted STARS member when disaster strikes.
Line 135 ⟶ 136:
* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]: ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'' puts forth the explanation that, following the events of ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'', Leon and Sherry were captured by the US government. They subsequently forced Leon, whose experience was highly sought after, into service as a special agent using Sherry's life as leverage.
* [[Badass]]: For most people, defeating a sinister cult of monstrous puppet masters is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. For Leon? That's just how he earns his paycheck.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: In the [[PlayStation 2]] port and onwards, [http://smhspanthers.k12tn.net/web_student_projects/Matt%27s_css_page/bamboo%283%29/images/Leon_and_Ashley_Alternate_Costumes.gif his second alternate costume is this]{{Dead link}}, complete with a [[Nice Hat]] ''and'' a [[Scarf of Asskicking]]. He even has a special reload animation when he wears the costume while equipped with the Chicago Typewriter. His pose in the status menu also changes.
* [[Bishonen]]: He might just fall under this. While he's not very effeminate (''just look at his muscles''), Leon is much more of a pretty-boy than any of the other male protagonists.
** One of the Policia in the beginning of ''Resident Evil 4'' asks if he "forgot his makeup".
Line 328 ⟶ 329:
* [[The Glomp]]: She likes to hug Claire everytime she can.
* [[Ill Girl]]: Her mutated father implanted her with a G-embryo. She was vaccinated to prevent the virus replacing her cells, but the vaccine only suppresses the effects of the virus, instead of eliminating it outright.
** In the years that followed, the virus adapted to Sherry's body, and instead of causing rapid mutation and degeneration, it causes the body to heal itself, as was originally envisioned for the G-
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Early reports on ''Resident Evil 6'' seem to indicate that Sherry's relationship with Jake Muller is a direct inversion of her father's partnership with Wesker.
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: In ''Resident Evil 2'', she serves as this to Claire... once she stops trying to run away from her, at least.
Line 362 ⟶ 363:
{{quote|''"I'm glad that I met you... I... I love you... Claire..."''}}
The seventeen-year-old son of an Umbrella double agent appearing in ''Code: Veronica'', captured and sent to prison on Rockfort Island along with his father. He managed to escape in the chaos of an outbreak of the T-
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: His [[Weapon of Choice]] when he's {{spoiler|a giant monster}}.
Line 707 ⟶ 708:
* [[Dodge the Bullet]]: Can individually dodge bullets fired from automatic weapons, unless he isn't aware of the player's position.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', he fights Sergei as Jill and Chris fight T.A.L.O.S., which is Sergei's experiment. In ''Code: Veronica'', it looked like him and Chris would fight Alexia together, but then he ran off.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: To the
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]/[[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Although he makes it clear that he does plan to destroy STARS to gain battle data for the B.O.Ws, his choice of words when revealing this implies that he is not particularly happy about having to do so.
{{quote|'''Wesker:''' The Tyrant virus leaked, polluting this whole place... and unfortunately, I had to give up my lovely members of S.T.A.R.S....}}
Line 734 ⟶ 735:
** {{spoiler|But we'll see how long [[Critical Backlash|killing off the main villian in an ongoing series]] [[Flip-Flop of God|lasts]] [[Cash Cow Franchise|in the long]] run}}.
* [[Large Ham]]: By ''Resident Evil 5'' (with his most villainous [[Evil Brit|British accent]] to date). DC Douglas indulges in some [[Ham and Cheese]] for a few outtake lines.
{{quote|'''Wesker''': '''[[Memetic Mutation|"Complete.]]''' '''[[Memetic Mutation|Global.]]''' '''''[[
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Somewhat of a problem, what with {{spoiler|Alex Wesker running around somewhere. Though I guess you could just call him "Alex" and him "Wesker"}}?
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Wesker can move too fast to be seen, yet punch straight through a person's chest.
Line 741 ⟶ 742:
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]/[[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Wesker made love with an Eastern European woman before leaving her. He ended up having a son named Jake Muller whom he will never meet}}.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: But try [[Too Dumb to Live|telling him that]].
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Too much of ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' and parts of
* [[Mole in Charge]]: Was the commanding officer of S.T.A.R.S., and yet {{spoiler|1=was actually going to lead the S.T.A.R.S. units to being tested against Umbrella's (now rogue) B.O.W.s}}.
* [[Motive Rant]]: During his second fight with Chris.
Line 751 ⟶ 752:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: After he comes [[Back from the Dead]] in ''Code: Veronica''. Although they were yellow first.
* [[Renaissance Man]]: Geneticist, virologist, corporate executive, corporate spy, elite SWAT team commander, supersoldier and criminal mastermind.
* [[Ret Canon]]: Prior to ''Code: Veronica'', and especially the first ''Wesker's Report'', the only time it was hinted at that Wesker would be infected (whether deliberately or not) with any strain of the
* [[The Rival]]: To Sergei Vladimir.
* [[The Social Darwinist]]: Believes the vast bulk of humanity are worthless and that only a minority of people- with superior talent, intelligence, physical stats, etc- have ever actually mattered throughout human history. He assumes that Ourobouros will weed out the weak and the strong will survive and become superhuman, though baring in mind that the only reason {{spoiler|he could handle it}} was probably due to all the experiments performed on him and the fact that he was already superhuman, {{spoiler|and that [[Word of God]] implies that even he would have been killed by Ourobouros eventually}}, his plan might actually have just [[Omnicidal Maniac|wiped out every living thing on the planet]].
Line 779 ⟶ 780:
=== Lisa Trevor ===
[[File:Trevor front 1960.jpg|frame]]
Umbrella's "patient zero", the first individual to survive injection with the Progenitor Virus, T-
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Never forget, under those horrific mutations and the violent insanity, there's just a scared, hurt, lonely little girl.
Line 798 ⟶ 799:
[[File:birkin.jpg|frame]]
Umbrella's top scientist, cohort of Albert Wesker, father of Sherry Birkin, and creator of the G-
* [[Bishounen]]: Not to the same degree a young Marcus, but yeah, definitely.
* [[Blob Monster]]: His final form is a featurless blob with dozens of teeth and [[Combat Tentacles]].
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: His hair is brown in ''Resident Evil 2'', but in the ''Chronicles'' games, he's blond.
* [[Body Horror]]: To a terrifying degree after he injects himself with the G-
* [[Carry a Big Stick]]: Birkin's first form wields a section of piping as a makeshift club.
* [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: One of the series's most notable examples. {{spoiler|His final form is a massive blob with [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]... and a complete lack of mobility. [[Justified]], as this form is the result of healing badly following his fourth form's destruction}}.
Line 817 ⟶ 818:
* [[Klingon Promotion]]: He and Wesker murdered their mentor, Dr. James Marcus, on Spencer's orders. Afterwards, Wesker became Spencer's spy, and Birkin recieved Marcus' old job and control of his research.
* [[Lovecraftian Superpower]]: Upon becoming the G-Monster, he has various forms of claws, extra limbs, spikes, [[Super Toughness]] and a [[Healing Factor]].
* [[Mad Scientist]]: This is the man who created the G-
* [[Monster Is a Mommy|Monster Is A Daddy]]: A bit of an inversion in terms of the trope's usual turn of events.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: To an ungodly degree. He goes through four dangerous forms and one [[Clipped-Wing Angel]] form, before finally dying.
Line 828 ⟶ 829:
* [[Tragic Monster]]: An unusual example: he was by no means a sympathetic character before his transformation, but try telling that to his distraught family.
** Especially since you {{spoiler|spend half the game hanging out with his [[Woobie]] of a daughter who never learned to properly tie her shoe}}.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: In the backstory. Birkin absolutely snapped when the U.S.S. came for the G-
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: The G-virus has a profoundly negative impact on his sanity.
Line 844 ⟶ 845:
* [[Rape as Backstory]]: The opposite of how this trope usually works.
* [[Taxidermy Is Creepy]]: After killing the mayor's daughter, he decides that he's going to make her a trophy for himself. He also has a habit of keeping human skulls in his secret room, indicating that this wasn't the first time that he had done something like this.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Pre-outbreak, he was no charmer, but the security of his position and the extravagant lifestyle he bought with bribe money kept him from losing it publicly. Once the T-
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Not only does he put on a faux-
=== HUNK ===
Line 851 ⟶ 852:
{{quote|''"The mission objective takes priority over everything else. Holding to that principle is why I have never failed a mission... The death cannot die!"''}}
Also known as "Mr. Death", HUNK is one of Umbrella's mercenaries, and a member of the Umbrella Security Service. He was sent to retrieve the G-
* [[Badass]]: Just look at the man.
Line 868 ⟶ 869:
* [[More Dakka]]: Typically appears with some sort of machinegun. In the Mercenaries game, a customized submachine gun is his only weapon aside from grenades, making him particularly difficult to play as, since he doesn't have much of a crowd control option.
* [[Mysterious Mercenary Pursuer]]: Inverted: he's trying to escape the city, just like the protagonists.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Aside from two mentions from "The History of Resident Evil", which was about his training at Rockfort Island in 1996 and mission to retrieve the G-
* [[Neck Snap]]: His main physical attack in ''Resident Evil 4'''s Mercenaries game, which even works against the the Bella sisters, but not other minibosses.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Not really, only his gas mask.
Line 874 ⟶ 875:
** Until ''Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D'', in which he is one of the three normal characters.
* [[Sociopathic Soldier]]: Of the cold-blooded, "the mission comes first" variety.
* [[The Stoic]]: He has only ever been shown to emote twice: the first is when a teammate went trigger-happy on William Birkin and HUNK berated him for risking hitting the G-
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: In "The Fourth Survivor" side-missions in ''Resident Evil 2'' and ''The Umbrella Chronicles''.
=== T-00 (Mr X) ===
The main antagonist of Scenario B, the T-00 (more commonly known as Mr X), is a T-103, a new type of mass produced Tyrant. It, along with several other T-103's, were sent into Raccoon City as part of Umbrella's attempts to cover up the disaster. However, unlike its brethren, who were tasked with combating the US SpecOps, Mr X was sent to succeed where HUNK had failed and recover the G-
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: His iconic limiter coat, which ironically serves to restrain him into a more human-like shape. He actually gets ''more'' dangerous when it comes off.
Line 969 ⟶ 970:
[[File:alexia-ashford-resident-evil-darkside-chronicles-character-screenshot 8459.jpg|frame]]
A noblewoman descended from one of Umbrella's founders, a genius scientist since at least the age of ''ten'', and the prominent antagonist of ''Code: Veronica'' despite having been, as far as anyone knows, dead as of fifteen years before the game took place. {{spoiler|She wasn't. Rather, she was in cryogenic sleep to incubate the specially-altered strain of the T-
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: She genuinely holds a noble title, but she's a sadistic monster to whom the lives of other people mean nothing.
Line 983 ⟶ 984:
* [[Evil Brit]]: Like her brother, she has a pronounced English accent, and she's a sadistic, tyrannical monster who wants to take over the world.
* [[Evil Laugh]]/[[Giggling Villain]]/[[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: She certainly uses less breath on speaking than she does on laughing.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: She focuses her [[Mad Science]] expertise on biology, creating the T-Veronica virus by merging T-
* [[Final Boss]]: She's the very last opponent you have to defeat.
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: In her first [[One-Winged Angel]] form, [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100411012356/villains/images/e/e4/Resident-evil-the-many-looks-of-the-infected-20090226023921485-000.jpg she is completely stark naked], although due to her mutations, nothing explicit is shown.
Line 1,004 ⟶ 1,005:
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Sunlight.
* [[Back from the Dead]]: Thanks to some T-
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: In a way: he dies, but his plan to bring down Umbrella goes off without a hitch.
* [[Big Bad]]: Of ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]''.
Line 1,195 ⟶ 1,196:
The brother of Angela Miller. He injected himself with the G-Virus prior to the events of Degeneration.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Unusually for most ''Resident Evil'' villains, his motivations for doing evil was actually for benign reasons: he injected himself with the G-
