Resident Evil: Rebirth

[It would be best if guild members requesting to join this rp have at least some knowledge of the past in Resident Evil. I don't want people roleplaying and then saying "What's a zombie?". As amusing as that would be for probably everybody, that'll ruin the whole thing...and stuff.]

This RP's story starts right after Resident Evil 4, but when the roleplaying starts, you'll be roleplaying a few months in the future. (About Winter/Mid January, 2005)

Upon returning from Europe with the President's daughter, I had entered the room designated for my meeting with the President. I was expecting a warm welcome, and was slightly under the weather from my long and tedious journey to Europe. It had been a very large ordeal, yet not a single news station had covered the events. No one seemed to care. I began to understand how Chris felt. He was always trying to warn the world about umbrella, people taking him seriously at first, but now Chris was nothing but old news to them.
I spoke shortly with the president about what had happened in Europe, eager to be granted permission for my new mission. I had requested for the top agents available in order to research and prevent Umbrella from being re-established. He denied. Claiming that as long as he were in power, the name "Umbrella" would never have to be heard or feared again, he reassured me that despite samples of the Las Plaga being stolen, no one could ever bring Umbrella Corporation back into power.
Not satisfied with my answer, I started investigating on my own. I hired a helicopter pilot to take me back where it all started - the ruins of Raccoon City.


Documents
Throughout this rp, you will find documents that have been written [by NPCs] to help you discover the story behind events. These will be recorded here, so that you do not have to search for the page where they were posted. I will notify you when you have found a document.

Weapons: A Report by Barry Burton.

Handgun

Strengths
The standard sidearm. Since it is a basic weapon, you do not have to be very skilled to use it. Like all handguns, this weapon usually has plenty of ammo.

Weaknesses
The handgun is fairly weak when it comes to taking down tough enemies or hordes of weak enemies. Its only use is to create situations where you want more of a jump on the enemy. The aim of the handgun is also highly
inaccurate at long range; for precision attacks at long range, the regular
handgun is not recommended.


Punisher

Strengths
Each round the Punisher fires will go through an enemy and hit the next one. Thus, if enemies
are positioned for you to take advantage of this, you effectively "double" the
damage you're doing with the gun. Naturally, if you aim incorrectly, the shot
can also hit hostages or innocents who are on the other side of the first
target.

Weaknesses
The Punisher starts off with the lowest damage base of all the handguns.
Additionally, inexperienced shooters may find that the pentrating bullet will strike schoolgirls' butt in some bad situations. Also, like the handgun, the Punisher has pretty bad aim; this makes using the weapon for long distance target shooting
difficult.


Blacktail

Strengths
Finely made handguns, such as the Sig P200 series, are heavy body weapons that
compensates on recoil once the trigger is pulled. The Blacktail exemplifies
this trait by giving Leon unmatched performance. The Blacktail is an expensive and compact handgun with super-fine aim. Its damage curve is fairly high and you can really get used to the stiff almost pin-point accuracy of the gun. Although its accuracy is on par with the semi-auto rifle, the Blacktail takes up the same amount of volume as a regular handgun.

Weaknesses
Its bullets do not penetrate, like the Punisher; it becomes a weakness only after you acquire better weapons.


Shotgun

Strengths
Shotguns are standard zombie killing weapons. They work equally well against "space-aliens" as well. The American firms of
Remington and Winchester have traditionally been associated with shotguns, as have older European arms-makers. The shotgun's best strength is that is can be found at your local arms dealer down the street. Up close, few peon enemies can withstand the blast of a shotgun.

Weaknesses
The shotgun's most profound weakness is its inability to attack enemies at
long range (it does almost no damage). It also takes longer to recock for the next shot. Lastly, the shotgun's ammo is fairly rare, never use it for no reason. If you're looking for more damage, keep looking

Riot Gun

Strengths
Another name for a shotgun, but applied for non-lethal use (in real life). It's simply an upgraded shotgun with similar qualities. Synthetic stocks
are now often cheaper than traditional wooden stocks. Ain't technology grand? The Riot Gun holds more ammo than the traditional shotgun. It's relatively more powerful than the shotgun.

Weaknesses
The riotgun is simply a shotgun in a synthetic stock. Unless you are
completely paranoid or have some ineptitude with dealing with enemies, you should use this.

Striker

Strengths

The Striker is the ultimate shotgun since it holds more shells than any other shotgun and does more damage (for some reason -- don't ask a ballistics expert why). It also fires the shells faster than a regular shotgun since it has a semi-automatic action. Against bosses or hordes of weak enemies, the Striker is the prime shotgun of choice. Finally, the Striker takes up less space than the other shotguns due to its compact design.

Weaknesses
Actually none in comparison to any of the shotguns.

Rifle

Strengths
The bolt action rifle firing .223 rifle rounds. This is the same caliber as
5.56 NATO so expect some high velocity action with this son-of-a-b***h. The rifle is the only weapon with the ability to zoom in on far off targets and kill them. The zooming ability allows you to scout ahead even if you have no intention of firing the gun. Rifle rounds do the most damage and are fairly uncommon -- however, they are certainly more
common than the super rare magnum rounds. The rifle takes up the least space of the two rifles. Scopes may be found for this gun through the process of the Rp.

Weaknesses
The rifle's major weakness is after each shot, you must work the bolt to load the next cartridge. It interrupts your concentration and allows enemies to come close to you and butcher you if you lose sight of them for an instant.

Semi-auto Rifle
Strengths
The semiautomatic rifle (or self-loading rifle) is a military improvement from over a century past. It allows the shooter to maintain his aim on a target without worrying about re-chambering the next round and ejecting the spent round, thus freeing his/her attention for the intended target. The Semi-automatic Rifle's best strength is that it never jolts you out of the sniper view. This alone makes it better.

Weaknesses
Not all scopes have the ability to be used with this weapon, though it is not necessary to have even normal scope since there is an already pretty good mounted scope on the beauty.

Magnum

Strengths
The Smith and Wesson L-frame .44 Magnum was the most powerful handgun in the world (the dubious distinction now belongs to the Smith and Wesson .500 revolver). This weapon is designed to emulate that infamy. Go ahead, make you enemies day (that line is better than Hasta La Huego). Of interest is that the gun is a break away revolver few modern examples exist, but this is another method aside from the ubiquitous swing out cylinder that one may reload a revolver. The Magnum is best when it's free; however, ammo for it
is so rare, you may not want one anyways. One shot from this gun will kill any normal enemy; it is the weapon of choice against the infamous Garratos as well as any boss that deserves your wrath (except the Alien).

Weaknesses
Almost no ammo is available for this gun. With luck, you should be able to conserve the little ammo you can. Missing with this weapon is bad, so make sure you have a clear shot before pulling the trigger.


Improved Rocket Launcher

Strengths
Once you have the Improved Rocket Launcher, you pretty
much can skip out on all the handguns and shotguns (maybe keep the Striker), and have a rifle around for delicate situations (such as keeping hostages safe). BOOOOOM!! The RPG is a one shot kill weapon
with a decent splash radius. Anything remotely touching the edge of the
explosion is pretty much turned into butt sauce.

Weaknesses
None.

*He was nervous, and afraid. He was afraid of finding something. Secretly he wanted umbrella to be gone for good. So he didn't need to go on a wild goose hunt, a wild goose which could easily crush him. But he knew that if he didn't do this, no one would. His helicopter touched down near raccoon city, the helicopter pilot said he had heard rumours, some pretty bad ones about this place* *Of course that was only good news, Leon had some lucky breaks when it came to rumours* *He exited the copter and asked the pilot to wait about 20 minutes, this wouldn't take long. All he needed this time around were pictures, he had his survival knife with him, as well as his beautiful blacktail. Though the blacktail only carried 20 shots and he had only 5 clips total (100 shots total) he didn't expect to be in a firefight. He more or less only expected a few mutated rats, nothing big. As Leon approached the site he found that the grass slowly became darker and wilder as he proceeded further and further into this "jungle", until at one point all that was left was dead black grass. Leon had been through worse*

I'll have to converse with my fellow conspirator... I mean Co-creator. But I think it should be simple, If you can formulate an appropriate Profile suited to the style of the bunch.

@ digi: If you want to be stuck in a tube for 90% of the RP, we can set this up, but of course he's not a normally playable character, but if you learn the secrets of our little scheme, then you'll be able to RP with a purpose.

@ ansem: sadly nemesis is not featurd in this RP at all, and I was under some strange impression he only survived in the movies and not the video games, as I could be wrong, and this series has so many plot twists it' hard to keep track of them all.

One final thing, no need to OOC for this, because all posts not related to the RP will be deleted just before this starts. 3nodding
