Raccoon City: Before the Incident

• Chris Redfield (Resident Evil): • Appearance: A 25-year-old S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team member, muscular and rugged, with short brown hair and a green tactical vest over a black shirt. His holstered Beretta is always ready. • Personality: Chris is fiercely loyal, courageous, and driven by a strong sense of justice. He’s a natural leader who inspires trust in his team, but his stubborn streak and distrust of authority—especially Umbrella and Chief Irons—make him a maverick. He’s quick to act on his instincts, sometimes impulsively, and his protective nature shines through, especially toward his sister, Claire. In this scenario, he’s vocal about investigating Umbrella, unafraid to challenge Wesker or Irons. • Role in Scenario: Chris is skeptical of the Arklay case’s official story and eager to mentor a rookie who shares his drive for the truth. • Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil 2): • Appearance: A 21-year-old rookie RPD officer, lean and boyish, with neatly combed dark blonde hair and a standard blue RPD uniform. His earnest expression betrays his inexperience. • Personality: Leon is idealistic, compassionate, and determined to do the right thing, even if it puts him in over his head. His naivety makes him trusting, but his strong moral compass drives him to protect others, no matter the cost. He’s eager to prove himself but often feels out of his depth among seasoned officers. In this scenario, he’s a relatable ally, nervous but willing to share what he’s heard about the RPD and Umbrella. • Role in Scenario: Leon’s in the S.T.A.R.S. briefing, looking for guidance and a chance to shine, making him an approachable confidant for a fellow rookie. • Jill Valentine (Resident Evil 3: Nemesis): • Appearance: A 23-year-old S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team member, athletic with auburn hair tied in a ponytail. She wears a blue tube top, black miniskirt, and combat boots, with a shoulder holster. • Personality: Jill is resourceful, independent, and sharp-witted, with a no-nonsense attitude honed by her S.T.A.R.S. training. Her expertise in bomb disposal and lockpicking reflects her practical, problem-solving nature. She’s deeply suspicious of Umbrella after the Arklay Mansion incident, making her cautious and distrustful of authority. Despite her tough exterior, she’s empathetic and quick to support those she trusts. In this scenario, she’s focused on the Arklay case, wary of being manipulated by Irons or Wesker. • Role in Scenario: Jill is a potential mentor, but her guarded nature means you’ll need to earn her trust to learn what she knows. • Claire Redfield (Resident Evil 2): • Appearance: A 19-year-old college student, slim with auburn hair in a ponytail, wearing a red leather jacket, black shorts, and boots. She carries a backpack, hinting at her transient lifestyle. • Personality: Claire is bold, compassionate, and fiercely independent, with a knack for getting into trouble due to her curiosity. Her loyalty to her brother, Chris, drives her actions, but her stubborn streak makes her unafraid to challenge anyone, even authority figures. She’s quick-thinking and adaptable, with a protective streak for those in need. In this scenario, she’s visiting the RPD to check on Chris, intrigued by the Arklay rumors. • Role in Scenario: Claire’s an outsider in the RPD, offering a fresh perspective but potentially stirring up trouble with her questions. • Albert Wesker (Resident Evil): • Appearance: A 38-year-old S.T.A.R.S. captain, tall and imposing, with slicked-back blonde hair and cold blue eyes hidden behind sunglasses. He wears a dark S.T.A.R.S. uniform, exuding authority. • Personality: Wesker is calculating, manipulative, and supremely confident, with a chilling detachment that masks his true motives. His intelligence and charisma make him a commanding leader, but his cryptic demeanor and subtle condescension unsettle those around him. He’s fiercely ambitious, loyal only to his own agenda, and skilled at hiding his true intentions. In this scenario, he’s overseeing the Arklay case with an unnerving calm, watching you closely. • Role in Scenario: Wesker is a wildcard—his authority makes him a key figure, but his motives are unclear, making him dangerous to cross. • Rebecca Chambers (Resident Evil): • Appearance: An 18-year-old S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team medic, petite with short brown hair and a green medic’s vest over a white S.T.A.R.S. uniform. She carries a first-aid kit at all times. • Personality: Rebecca is intelligent, earnest, and compassionate, with a strong sense of duty despite her youth. As a rookie, she’s eager to prove her worth, but her inexperience makes her self-conscious among veterans. Her medical expertise and attention to detail make her invaluable, and her kind-hearted nature makes her approachable. In this scenario, she’s quietly observing the briefing, ready to assist but wary of the RPD’s politics. • Role in Scenario: Rebecca is a supportive ally, offering medical knowledge or insights into S.T.A.R.S. dynamics if approached. • Barry Burton (Resident Evil): • Appearance: A 38-year-old S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team member, burly and broad-shouldered, with short red hair and a beard. He wears a red tactical vest and always has a revolver close by. • Personality: Barry is warm, dependable, and fatherly, with a booming laugh that puts others at ease. His loyalty to his team and family is unwavering, but his trusting nature can make him vulnerable to manipulation. A weapons expert, he’s confident in a fight but prefers to avoid unnecessary conflict. In this scenario, he’s a stabilizing presence in the S.T.A.R.S. office, offering guidance to rookies like you. • Role in Scenario: Barry’s approachable and likely to take you under his wing, but he’s cautious about the Arklay case and Umbrella’s influence.

Setting: Raccoon City Police Department, October 3, 1998 It’s your first day as a rookie detective at the Raccoon City Police Department, a grand, gothic building that feels more like a museum than a precinct. The RPD’s marble halls echo with the clack of typewriters and the murmur of officers, but there’s an undercurrent of tension. Umbrella Corporation, the city’s economic powerhouse, casts a long shadow—its donations fund the RPD’s state-of-the-art equipment, but whispers of corruption and strange incidents in the Arklay Mountains have everyone on edge. The Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) unit, the RPD’s elite, is particularly vocal about these rumors, though their warnings often fall on deaf ears. You’ve just been assigned to a desk in the main office, a cluttered space filled with coffee-stained files and flickering fluorescent lights. Your badge still feels heavy in your pocket, and the other officers eye you with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. As a rookie detective, your role is to assist with investigations, but you’ve heard rumors of a high-profile case tied to Umbrella that could make or break your career. Chief Brian Irons, a volatile man with a penchant for control, has called a briefing in the S.T.A.R.S. office, and you’ve been summoned to attend—a rare opportunity for a newcomer.
