News: Character Policies

Alternate Characters
Do you want an alternate character? Go ahead. There's no real rules or guidelines here, especially given the fact that you may decide you want to kill one off at some point etc.

Worst case scenario, you get really idle on an alt or they don't click and you use them as a future victim. :)

We have no problems approving as many characters/victims as you like, so long as you don't mind going through the simple CG!

Canon Characters
Characters from a Canon Source (Games, Movies, Books) are not considered to be any different than a regular character, except they have a well-known or even lesser-known name. These characters are NOT special or meant to be the propped up heroes of the story, they're just like original characters in terms of creation and importance.

Sure, people might expect a little more from you than they would someone they've never heard of; but at the end of the day you're just another member of the cast.

Keep in mind, when picking up a Canon Character, almost all of them are at the beginning of their story. They are not wunderkind plot-armored badasses. They're just like everyone else.

On the plus side, if you do pickup a canon character, you can do pretty much your own thing with them. Unlike Original Characters, if you idle out; you may lose the character so they can continue being part of the story.

Antagonists
You're not an Antagonist, you're the Protagonist! At least, that's how many Antagonists see themselves.

We love and support Antagonists on Resident Evil: Redefined.

Antagonists are important characters, more than the Protagonists; they SINGLE-HANDLEDLY can shape entire series of events or set things into motion that would not have otherwise happened by virtue of being the 'bad guy'.

Antagonists are capable and encouraged of putting into motion plots and schemes and post-Raccoon City, we hope that player created Antagonists will become a major source of story and conflict.

Most people are trying to save the world. You have other motivations, maybe, even in your own mind you are trying to save it.

Antagonists gain Bonus XP & resources to allow them to well, be antagonistic and not be pushovers.

If you want to play an Antagonist, please contact staff.
