(Starting this off with an overview of the plot, and basic "the world as it is" situation. Perhaps a bit niche for a fan-based thing, but had fun planning it!)
Nothing was the same after Raccoon City.
An entire city was plunged into a nightmare straight out of the darkest recesses of the human psyche. Unbeknownst and undiagnosed properly by the available doctors, a virus had been spreading through the entire city, a veritable plague that once it began in full swing devoured everything in its path. Those infected did not simply die either. No, they rose up again. In the darkness of Raccoon Cities flickering lights those who had died let out chilling moans, and shambled their blood soaked bodies in search of flesh. The hospital filled to bursting with infected patients early on became a slaughterhouse. Anarchy had fully taken effect upon by the city by September 23rd, 1998.
It later came to light that this virus was manufactured, created in a lab by the very company that had been such staunch providers for the city itself. Umbrella Pharmaceuticals.
The multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical juggernaut had long been involved in bioweapons research and development. Their slogan proudly stated "Umbrella, our business is life itself." However, the weapons manufacturing was something kept out of the public eye. Yet when their own internal issues caused their T-Virus to be released to the public from their underground labs beneath the city...chaos reigned. In a desperate attempt to hold back the overwhelming numbers of the living dead swarming the streets the national guard were mustered. Umbrella, desperate to maintain the air that they were "helping" then even sent in their UBCS (Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service) soldiers under the pretense that they were trying to contain the infection. Several units of National Guard in the area were even deployed quickly fully armed and with standing orders to regain stability. Raccoon City even valiantly rallied its law enforcement together in a desperate attempt to hold back the zombies and mutations tearing through their streets. Three days into the epidemic these united groups set up blockades and set forth to reclaim their city from the ever growing horde of cannibalistic infected. In the burning streets they made their stand.
They failed.
Unprepared and in the dark about how to face this ravenous virus and the creatures it created those forces sent in were slaughtered in the streets one by one until emergency workers and military were restricted from even entering by the government. Raccoon City was eventually deemed too much of a risk by the United States Government, and efforts to quarantine through normal means were deemed far too risky. The government began to urge anyone capable of rational and coherent thought to evacuated the city if possible as containment and reclamation was no longer an option. Seven days after the initial start of the outbreak, the US decided the city was too far gone, and a bomb was detonated upon the remnants of Raccoon City, ending over 100,000 lives, both infected and non-infected. The president expressed their deepest regrets that it had to reach this point.
This occurred on October 1st, with the entire world watching. With that detonation and the sea of footage flooding in to the rest of the world one thing became clear...a world of nightmares had just been opened up for all of humanity.
The year is now 2010.
With the truth exposed as to just how complicit the company was in everything that occurred in Raccoon city, and their labs existence beneath the city revealed Umbrella as it was eventually fell shortly after the destruction of that midwestern territory. Their financial assets were frozen, and of those still alive several were arrested. Mysteriously though many higher ups, as well as a startling amount of their scientific personnel were found killed within their homes long before authorities would have caught them. Yet with the company gone, the world is not yet safe from the Pandora's box that was opened by them and their dealings on the black market of bio-organic weapons. Years later the world is now plagued with the horrors that have stemmed from the ruins of the super company. Before the authorities could intervene in many cases precious data was stolen from their labs. Vials of potent viruses sold off to the highest bidder...and worst...the means to make and refine more biological weapons by many of their competitors being used to further their own aims. So it is that new terrors seem ready to spring forth at any moment.
Most recently in Africa there was the "Kijuju Autonomous Zone Incident". A mixture of a virus and a parasite used to infect the populace who then became enraged, violent, and incredibly deadly mobs of roaming bands that threatened to tear the very heart out of the continent the more they spread the infection. They even performed public executions of those who tried to oppose them, or more precisely those who were uninfected. Though not as numerous or quick to infect as their zombified brethren in Raccoon City, their pack mentality and terrifying ability to use weapons made them a true threat, the perfect sort of way to destabilize an entire populace, and that was before any of their more terrifying mutation variants were discovered. History seemed determined to repeat itself.
Thankfully the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) responded as best they could and quelled the spread but there are still rumors of some of these infected roaming the darkest corners of Africa. Sadly the casualties suffered by the West Africa Branch of the BSAA following the incident has them struggling as best as they can under such circumstances, but other branches have been asked to donate personnel to the cause. The organization and it's many branches are still new, and even with funding from the United Nations their numbers are stretched thin. This is not an ideal situation in the slightest, as it seems for every new recruit the BSAA gains new incidents cut deep into their numbers enough to make it negligible. So desperate is the situation that even the United Nations has sanctioned a unique alliance...with Umbrella Co.
This group is born out of what is left of that ill-fated company, and have been given a sizeable amount of their seized finances back now that they are under new management. Forming a private military company that now acts specifically to undo the world state that the original Umbrella's work has led to they are led by a group that sees the rise of bioterrorism as a threat that MUST be quelled at all costs. This has led some to believe that the "Blue Umbrella" as they are nicknamed, while having a positive track record, are not above using the old records and connections of the previous company to pursue their quarry and bring it to ground. They are also rumored to not be above hiring the very same personnel who once enacted Umbrella's own work in the field to now hunt down the remnants of their previous employers. Blue Umbrella has also been accused in some circles of "executing" terrorists on site. Though their personnel are at an even lower number than the BSAA currently, the resources, connections, and finely trained field operatives that Blue Umbrella offers is too tempting for the BSAA to turn down help from at this moment...and not a moment too soon.
A terrorist group calling themselves "Her Blessed Children" has somehow managed to get ahold of a new prototype virus. One that by all rights an organization as small as them should NOT have been capable of purchasing or obtaining under any means. Largely a radical religious extremist group once called "The Raptured" that mostly aims for car bombings or the occasional riot inciting, this is not exactly something in their usual way of doing things, especially with them having been largely declining over the years. Yet sources have indicated they intend to make use of it, and have obtained enough to engulf entire cities in bloodshed and chaos the likes of which could make Raccoon City look small in comparison. The fact this group HAS such a virus in their possession heavily indicates something disturbing, and it is something Blue Umbrella has brought before the BSAA in secret. Some other much larger entity appears to be supplying "Her Blessed Children" with resources, and quite a bit of it. A sobering thought. Worse, it is possible that this group may have already been testing the virus elsewhere, seeing what mutations may spawn. Time is of the essence, and every new day brings the chance that this group might unleash something that will shroud another undefended populace in a torrent of bloodshed and horror beyond reckoning. Yet not all is lost...as a tip off from an underground source has yielded a possible location for the groups leaders, the ones most likely to be carrying the bulk of the virus on hand. It stands to reason they would also be able to tell just how they managed to come across such resources in such a short amount of time.
This is the situation. Yet such a large entity that has managed to stay off of the radar for so long might very well have spies in the several governments. Connections that keep one informed if a large force is mobilized against them. Thus is stands that a small group, one that can move in and strike quickly stands a far better chance, and Blue Umbrella has been asked to help form such a group from the available rosters of both organizations. A group that will plunge headfirst into the depths of darkness that ache to devour the world above. To show their support in this effort Blue Umbrella has placed their highest ranking armed forces officer in charge of preparing the mission. One with a practiced history of successful operations in such situations, and some key knowledge about what is required to see it done. They have already begun searching for those whose skills would be invaluable for the journey ahead. Rumors about this figure have arisen as well, stories that they are one of the very personnel who used to work for Umbrella, and that they prize the missions completion above all other things. That they have studied the various mutations and horrors that have been born from Umbrella's actions closely to seek out all weaknesses possible. Some even say they were involved in the very first incident that started all of this...
Regardless, this is the mission before you. Should you be chosen, and choose to accept it.
A descent into the depths where survival and horror intermingle.
All to ensure that what you may discover does not see the light of day and consume the world of of the living outside.
Welcome to the world of Resident Evil.
Okay so that is the overview for the yet to be titled Resident evil themed idea. It aims to have a focus on horror with monstrous enemies being faced by a hail of desperately fired bullets. It takes place in 2010, with the premise that you the players will be either original characters, or characters so slim in terms of lore that they might as well be blank slates. Some good examples of this are the USS Delta Team from Operation Raccoon city if you want, (minus Four Eyes, she is claimed by someone already). While a canon character will be organizing this and leading the team, they are once again ones who only had one outing, but can help provide guidance and work well with original characters. It's why I wrote this the way i did.
What you have seen here is pretty much all you need to know about the Resident Evil world to join up. This is because the individuals sought out to join in this fight will more easily be people from the "outside" of the main cast. They won't need to know the characters in the game on a personal level, and in all honesty they'd know most of them in passing the same way you know of a celebrity in real life. Sure you know their name, but you don't know the in-depth minutia of their everyday life.
The two main incidents that warrant a look if you really want to do some research would be:
- The "Kijuju Autonomous Zone Incident"
- The "Raccoon City Incident"
Now why the vagueness? It's because I am interested in original characters, and making it easy for people who have never played a Resident Evil game but still like the idea of a dangerous mission directly into the blood drenched maws of mutations and zombies for an rp. Plus it fits with the premise of the story. Your characters will be operatives specifically chosen to undertake this mission from all walks of life and origins, and as a result wouldn't really know all the details. They'd know of these things from a "I watched the news on it as it was unfolding" or "I was told by a superior officer what went down" sort of point of view. Now what sort of skills would be required? Well quite simply:
The characters must either have training and experience in Law Enforcement OR Military. Weapons WILL be needed here, and the vibe is to keep with that. This can range from any country as well. Whether they are a skilled SWAT team member from the United States, United Kingdoms Special Forces, French Foreign Legion, Navy Seal, Spetsnaz, etc etc. Blue Umbrella has quite a reach and little qualms about ending Bioterrorism, so it is even possible they recruited straight from prison. Maybe instead of being taken out to a firing squad for crimes you didn't commit, or the fact you rebelled against your tyrannical government, you are instead taken to a dark room where someone is waiting with a Blue Umbrella contract and the keys to your cuffs? Maybe you were law enforcement who got the job done, but were practically choked in the red tape every time you made progress, and the BSAA saw that determination and put you to work investigating for them on a much bigger scale? Maybe you were in fact an original member of Umbrella Security Services, and now find yourself using those skills to hunt down the dark legacy of the company you once aided?
Blue Umbrella is more likely to recruit people with questionable morals so long as they can keep them on a leash in the name of getting the job done, whereas the BSAA wants to make sure to keep things at least mostly above board.
The point is the world in this setting is gripped with sheer terror at the rise of Bio Organic Weapons (BOWS). They are seeing horrific monstrosities being brought to life from the living dead, or they are seeing body altering mutations that make their blood run cold being unleashed on innocent civilians. Everyone from a local militia to the highest seats of power have a vested interest in BOW's, and the sheer amount of damage and chaos they can wreak on the world at large. This can't be allowed. Whether you were recruited or joined up simply because you couldn't stand the idea of this crap happening in your backyard, both Umbrella Corp (Blue Umbrella) and the BSAA are the major forces standing against such ludicrously dangerous things being released into existence. Now with a radical group of zealots packing the means to make the horror of Raccoon City on a bigger scale out there, the time to strike is now no matter what dark places it may take you.
If interested, please send me a message before posting! Shoot me some ideas! I'll be posting up a character sheet that will introduce the players to the team leader, but will also serve as an example character sheet for others to post up! Why a character sheet? Well because it just feels nice for people to be able to see who they will be working with! A big thank you to those who took the time to read all this! Thank you for your time!
