{{quote|''"There's one thing I do know: I have a job to do, and I'm gonna' see it through."''}}
 
The first male protagonist of the series, appearing in [[Resident Evil 1|the first game]], ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica|Code Veronica]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 5|RE5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil: Revelations|Revelations]]'', and ''[[Resident Evil 6|RE6]]''. He was a member of STARS Alpha team, and like many of the protagonists, has made a vow to stop bio-weapon experiments and bring down Umbrella. He currently serves as a top agent for the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), an NGO he co-founded that acts to disrupt and quell acts of bioterrorism worldwide. Despite the series having no 'official' main protagonist, Chris is generally assumed to be it, since he's [[The Rival]] of [[Big Bad]] Wesker.
 
* [[Badass]]: [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Goes from]] surviving the events of [[Resident Evil 1|the first game]] to [[Resident Evil 5|punching boulders]] and {{spoiler|stopping a [[The End of the World as We Know It|bio-weapon fueled apocalypse]] started by [[Big Bad|Wesker]]... by fighting him to the death in a volcano.}}
** [[Makes Sense in Context|The boulder was twice Chris's height and refused to move until Chris punched it out of its rut]].
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: During ''Code Veronica''.
Line 23:
* [[Climbing the Cliffs of Insanity]]: He's climbing one during his introduction in ''Code Veronica.''
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In ''5'', he gets Hunk's Neckbreaker from ''4''. Josh similarly seems to have adopted many moves found in Leon from ''4'''s Mercenaries.
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Although it varies in shade, Chris is invariably dressed in some form of hunter green through every game.
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Up to and including ''punching a multi-ton boulder out of the way'' during the [[Final Boss]] fight of 5.
** Some fans joke that the extra muscle mass he sports in ''5'' could only have come from ingesting one of the viruses if not from this trope.
Line 52:
{{quote|''"You want S.T.A.R.S.? I'll give you S.T.A.R.S."''}}
 
Co-protagonist of the first ''RE'', alongside Chris, and also protagonist of the [[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis|third game]]. She's a strong-willed woman and shares a deep friendship with Chris.
 
She's the primary player character in ''Resident Evil 3'', in which she attempts a "last escape" from the doomed Raccoon City. Aside from the horde of undead standing in her way, she has a bigger problem to deal with, in the form of Nemesis, a B.O.W specifically designed to hunt down and kill any surviving STARS members.
Line 67:
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Icy and piercing.
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In ''Resident Evil 5''.}}
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Hers has slightly more variance than Chris, but it's still there. She's consistently dressed in cadet blue through the earlier games, but it gives way to a darker indigo-blue as time goes on.
* [[Determinator]]: She's the irresistible force to Nemesis's immovable object.
** And again in RE5, {{spoiler|where she is still resisting mind control years down the road.}}
Line 104:
{{quote|''"The name is Rebecca Chambers, but that's Officer Chambers to you!"''}}
 
The most recent and youngest member of STARS Bravo team in ''Resident Evil'', who supported Chris in the first game, and is one of the two protagonists of the prequel, ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]''. She's a specialist in chemicals and first-aid assistance.
 
* [[Brown Eyes]]/[[Green Eyes]]: Varies based on interpretation. Brown for her pragmatism, green for [[Rule of Cool]].
Line 118:
* [[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.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In ''0'' and ''[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles|Umbrella Chronicles]]'', and especially in the novels where she is elevated to the status of [[Mary Sue]].
** Little Becky makes a triumphant return in Mercenaries Reunion where she wields a powerful [[Cool Guns|M]][[Modern Battlefield Weapons|P]][[Small Girl, Big Gun|5]] and [[Shotguns Are Just Better|Striker shotgun]] to become a Majini-slaying monster. It being the Protecta Striker doesn't seem to matter much, she's still devilishly effective with it.
* [[Waif Fu]]: Being 93 lbs won't stop her from taking down much larger enemies in ''The Mercenaries'' games.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Hasn't been seen nor heard from since the ending of the first game, despite having her own prequel.
** She [[The Cameo|finally got a nod]] in ''[[Resident Evil 5]] Gold Edition'', where she's playable in the ''Mercenaries Reunion'' minigame.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: She is only eighteen years old and ''already'' a member of an Elite Forces Squad however it is Justified to an extent. She is apparently something of a teen genius which was why she was recruited to STARS. The novels state that she has zero combat experience near the beginning of the series and was something of the teams [[The Load|baggage]]. This also carries over with in both games she's in. In ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]'', her only specialty is mixing herbs and chemicals. In ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', she can mix chemicals and administer serum. Both scenarios, the [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|big, burly guy]] does most of the combat.
* [[Yes-Man|Yes, sir!]]
 
Line 144:
* [[Chick Magnet]]: So far, the one with most [[Love Interests]] in the series: Ada, Angela, Ashley, and Manuela all have a thing for him.
** [[Unwanted Harem]] maybe?
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Averted hard. He's the only major character who's never dressed in the same color twice. (Dark blue, army green, brown, and black.)
** Though those are all camouflage/outdoor coloring.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: In [[Resident Evil 4]], he only goes to the village to investigate and ask questions, yet he brings with him a pistol, knife, attache case, flashlight, radio, binoculars, a tracking device and a ''grappling hook''.
Line 189:
* [[Suplex Finisher]]: During the Castle and Island stages of ''4'', he can stun enemies with a knee-shot, and use a Northern Lights Suplex as a finisher. It has a high chance of instant [[Your Head Asplode|head-exploding death]] and stops plagas from spawning.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: {{spoiler|For Ada, in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''.}}
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: He start off as a rookie cop, and becomes a [[One-Man Army|One Man Zombie-Slaying Army]] by ''[[Resident Evil]] 4''.
* [[Trap Door Fail]]: Leon narrowly manages to avoid being impaled on spikes by Salazar by using a grappling-hook.
* [[Trash Talk]]: ''Resident Evil 4'' has quite a lot of this between Leon, Saddler and Salazar when the Los Illuminados hack into his radio-phone.
Line 220:
** May tread into [[Babysitter From Hell]] territory. She did a complete u-turn at the end of the game, which is strange and out of character seeing as she had just spent the entire game risking her life to protect Sherry. Almost immediately after they've all escaped, she buggers off to find Chris and doesn't think twice about leaving her (Sherry) with Leon to take care of.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her most well known outfit, from Code: Veronica has this.
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Once again, she's always dressed in some shade of maroon-pink, even if Code Veronica took it a bit father towards red.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Of the four main protagonists, Claire is the only one who's really capable of effective sarcasm. (Chris is too stoic, Jill doesn't have that much of a sense of humor, and Leon's just kind of terrible at it.)
** From the same game, if you go back to her when playing as Steve, she turns the snark [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 265:
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[The Cameo]]: Despite only having a major role in one game in the series, he's a made a few appearances.
** Appears in one of the endings of [[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]](as well as having a epilogue), rescuing Jill and Carlos right the nuke hits Raccoon City.
** Playable in the Mercenaries minigame of ''[[Resident Evil 5]] Gold Edition''.
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: ''[[Gaiden Game]]''.
Line 278:
* [[Papa Wolf]]
* [[Pinball Protagonist]]: In ''Resident Evil [[Canon Discontinuity|Gaiden]]''.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: His reappearance in ''[[Resident Evil 5]] Gold Edition's'' Mercenaries Reunion. Four words: [[Use Your Head|headbutt zombie]] = [[Your Head Asplode|head explodes]].
 
 
Line 291:
* [[Action Girl]]/[[Dark Action Girl]]: No matter which side you think she's on, there's no doubting her effectiveness.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Has betrayed Leon, Umbrella, Wesker, and possibly her bosses at the "Agency". Unlike Wesker, however, she rarely kills those she's suckered.
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: She's consistently shown wearing crimson red, to the point that Krasuer refers to her as "the bitch in the red dress".
* [[Combat Stilettos]]
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: The Catwoman to Leon's [[Batman]].
Line 332:
* [[The Glomp]]: She likes to hug Claire everytime she can.
* [[Tagalong Kid]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In Resident Evil 6, Sherry is now a government agent.
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: She makes you go "Aww..." sometimes.
* [[What Happened to Mommy?|What Happened To Daddy]]

[[File:222px-Parker Luciani 6836.jpg|frame]]
Line 695:
* [[Animal Eyes]]
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To all the protagonists, but especially Jill and Chris.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Repeatedly.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: As ''Umbrella Chronicles'' establishes, he was a [[Badass]] long before he injected himself with the Progenitor Virus.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: In ''Umbrella Chronicles'' and in ''4''.
Line 724:
** And through doors made of stone.
** Heck, even before he faked his death and mutated, he was skilled enough in martial arts to take down zombie dogs with no effort, and was actually able to go toe-to-toe with an Ivan (which would have been far more powerful than the Tyrant he "got killed" by) during the events of Resident Evil Zero, and also during that time, he was part of the research team.
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Prior to paying Spencer a visit, Wesker was a pretty level-headed [[Chessmaster]]. Afterwards (once he learns of his origins) he jumps off the deep end and forms a god-complex.
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: He has freaky orange and gold eyes slit like a Snake, [[Sunglasses Atat Night|that is when]] [[Cool Shades|you actually see them.]] Naturally, he's evil.
* [[The Heavy]]: He's still working for Spencer in ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', but it's Wesker who actually moves the plot along. He takes over this role again in ''[[Resident Evil 5|RE5]]''.
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: If certain portions of his [[Hannibal Lecture]] towards Chris and Sheva during the final level of Resident Evil 5 is to be taken literally.
Line 746:
* [[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 0Zero]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', and parts of the ''Umbrella Chronicles''. A great deal of the plot is the result of him and Sergei trying to outdo one another in [[The Man Behind the Man]] department.
* [[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) BOWs.}}
* [[Motive Rant]]: During his second fight with Chris.
Line 755:
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: Plays ''[[Up to Eleven|every. single. freaking. side.]]'' to his own advantage.
* [[Putting on the Reich]]: Kind of. Wesker has Blond hair, blue eyes (prior to his mutation), and upon mutating gained superhuman strength, speed, and endurance, similar to the Nazi's view of the ideal Aryan. Likewise, he was engineered to be the perfect human, similar to the supposed Aryans.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: After he comes [[Back Fromfrom 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 t-Virus was in the optional Battle Mode included in the Sega Saturn version, where Wesker appears as an enemy zombie that's tougher than the usual kind.
Line 762:
* [[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.]]
* [[The Starscream]]: To Umbrella. Deconstructed, as it is strongly implied that not only was Spencer fully aware of Wesker's intentions of betraying Spencer and Umbrella, he actually orchestrated the events that would result in Wesker deciding to take down Umbrella.
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]: His trademark.
* [[Super Speed]]: After taking the experimental virus, he moves faster than the human mind can process. See [[Dodge the Bullet]] above. To the naked eye, it looks like he's teleporting.
* [[Super Soldier]]: The virus strain that he injected himself with to fake his death to Umbrella essentially made him this. It's also implied that the virus was actually designed by Spencer as part of his ultimate scheme, making the virus almost a super soldier serum.
* [[Super Strength]]: Capable of lifting missles with one hand, piercing through his enemies' chests with his fingers, and holding Chris with one hand by the throat, among other feats of his strength after his upgrade.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Got his start at 18.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With William Birkin, his long time friend and rival. Admittedly, their time as this is mostly in the series backstory and ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]'', but they went to college and later worked as top researchers at Umbrella together for years.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Revealed to be one of several Wesker children by Spencer.
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: He is a playable character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with Chris, Jill & (in Ultimate MVC 3) Nemesis.
Line 832:
* [[Teen Genius]]: Was 16 when he was hired by Umbrella.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Had no problems committing horrifically unethical experiments at 16.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Birkin and Wesker went to college, trained and worked at Umbrella together, and hung out together in ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]].'' A file in 5 confirms that Birkin was the one who gave Wesker the virus that made him super-human.
* [[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.}}
Line 996:
* [[Final Boss]]
* [[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.
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: How much sanity she actually had to begin with is questionable, as she was seen shattering ants as a kid, but she at least had some integrity. However, after learning about [[Cloning Blues|the nature of her birth]], let's just say that she really went off the deep end a'la [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]].
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]
Line 1,013:
 
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Sunlight.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Thanks to some T-Virus infected leeches.
* [[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 0Zero]]''.
* [[Bishounen]]: As his younger self.
* [[Body Horror]]: Good god, Marcus.
Line 1,115:
* [[Licking the Blade]]: Repeatedly cuts himself with his double-edged knife, before licking up the blood.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: In the same vein as Wesker.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: To many of the events in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', as well as much of ''Umbrella Chronicles''.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: So, the huge Russian guy in the greatcoat, with the booming voice is evil huh? Who'd'a thunk it?
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Loses control and transforms into an [[Body Horror|utterly hideous]] Tyrant during his confrontation with Wesker.
