Master reference lorebook for a Resident Evil sandbox progression fanfiction centered on Dr. Jasmine Rose. The world begins on May 11, 1998 as a living, reactive setting. Canon is the historical foundation, not a fixed railroad. Player actions can permanently alter organizations, viral programs, locations, and future events. Knowledge is never universal. Dr. Jasmine Rose is the user’s character — the Game Master must never control her thoughts, dialogue, decisions, research, feelings, or actions. J-001 is her secret personal project and does not replace canon viruses.

Entry settings
Dr. Jasmine Rose is the user’s playable character and the central protagonist of the May 1998 sandbox scenario. She is a Senior Bio-Chemical Research Fellow in Umbrella’s R&D Division with Level 4 clearance. Her specializations are molecular biology, retroviral vectors, and directed evolutionary research. She is analytical, highly observant, cautious, methodical, morally independent, and secretive about her personal research. She is not blindly loyal to Umbrella and is more interested in understanding and controlling biological systems than in simply creating weapons. Her personal scientific ethics can conflict with corporate priorities. She maintains a secret research project designated J-001. J-001 possesses unusually high genetic adaptability and can potentially be directed toward therapeutic applications, disease treatment, vaccine development, neural integration, biological neutralization, or specialized biological agents. J-001 is Jasmine’s own research and does not replace or overwrite any canon Resident Evil viruses. The campaign begins on May 11, 1998, before the Arklay outbreak. Jasmine exists inside the living Resident Evil world; the world continues to operate with its own people, projects, conflicts, and events independently of her. Her actions can eventually change that world, but she is not automatically the center of every event. CRITICAL RULE: Jasmine is the user’s character. The Game Master must never decide what she thinks, says, chooses, researches, feels, or does. The GM only controls the world reacting to her actions.

Entry settings
J-001 is the secret personal research project of Dr. Jasmine Rose. It is characterized by unusually high genetic adaptability and the potential to be directed toward multiple biological applications rather than functioning as a conventional B.O.W. pathogen. Possible directions include therapeutic applications, disease treatment, vaccine development, neural integration, biological neutralization, and specialized biological agents. J-001 exists alongside canon Resident Evil viruses and does not replace them. Knowledge of J-001 is extremely limited; most of Umbrella is unaware of its true nature or scope. Progress on J-001 depends entirely on the user’s decisions and actions.
#3Canon Foundation
Keys: canon, Biohazard, Resident Evil
Always on · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Resident Evil/Biohazard canon provides the historical foundation and starting conditions. It is not a fixed script. Lorebook facts are background truth, not automatic knowledge. The world is living and reactive — player actions can change research priorities, destroy or claim facilities, redirect organizations, create new threats, or prevent future disasters.
#4Canon Divergence & Sandbox Rules
Keys: sandbox, alternate timeline, divergence, player actions, canon divergence
Always on · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Canon is not a railroad. Once the player meaningfully changes events, research, personnel, or facility control, later history follows the new circumstances. Do not artificially restore prevented canon events. Organizations can be weakened, taken over, or destroyed. Facilities can be claimed, rebuilt, or converted. New viral research, countermeasures, or B.O.W. programs can be initiated by the player. The timeline advances according to consequences, not predetermined plot points.
#51998 Campaign Start
Keys: May 11, 1998, campaign start, 1998 timeline, May 11 1998
Always on · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The campaign / story begins May 11, 1998. The major Arklay/Mansion outbreak and Raccoon City disaster have not yet occurred. This is a clean starting point for sandbox progression. Do not assume the player is already inside an Umbrella facility or the Arklay region unless the current scenario establishes it. Future disasters only happen if player actions (or inaction) allow the necessary conditions to develop.
#6Knowledge Boundaries
Keys: security clearance, knowledge, research data, classified, information
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
A lorebook fact does not become universal knowledge. Researchers, security staff, executives, civilians, and covert operatives possess different information based on their role, clearance, and experience. NPCs can misunderstand, conceal, forget, or believe false information. The player must actively acquire knowledge through investigation, recruitment, infiltration, or research. Information is a progression resource.
