RP: Resident Evil
Story: Raccoon City has been completely destroyed and so has the zombies in it, but word is it the Umbrella took samples with them. Umbrella has been testing on a vacation island, only a couple hundred people are on it. The T-virus has been remolded and is more deadly than ever; umbrella being the evil militaristic company that they are they decided to do a live test on a couple of their employees. They project turned wrong but Umbrella kept it under wraps, two months later the island was completely taken over by Zombies and different kinds of horrid monsters. The S.T.A.R.S team has been sent there to snuff the problem completely and save any remaining humans. Their helicopter barely makes it to the island when it crashed from contact with a rocket shot from a confused survivor, the S.T.A.R.S team swam to shore and are now left to their own devices with little contact with headquarters and enough ammo to last them for a year.
Rules:
1. No godmoding, so that means if you got bitten by a zombie for god sake you cannot just heal within a few minutes, even if you have the anti-virus.
2. I have no problem with cursing but if someone does and they ask you to tone it down just humor them or I’ll kill you off.
3. Posting, a big thing with me now I’m not saying they have to be a damn page long but they can’t just be one sentence either, and if someone in your group hasn’t posted ask them before you start to control them and if they say no…get over it.
4. *sigh* now most of you haven’t played RE (Resident Evil) but the matter of shooting, it will take at least 4 or more bullets to kill a zombie unless you shoot them in the head but even then it might take at least two shots so please don’t just say you shot the zombie and they fell dead *even though they are already dead*, Other monsters might take a little bit more bullets to kill I’ll put up the list.
Monsters:
Zombie: refers to any person that has succumbed to the T-Virus and has been turned into a reanimated corpse that feeds on human flesh. The incubation period for the virus varies depending on the circumstances. A human will eventually turn into a zombie some time after the initial exposure to the virus; this can be a week in some cases though it is generally within a few hours, sometimes even minutes. This is usually after being heavily injured or killed by a T- Virus carrier. The most notable symptom prior to mutation is the itchiness that results from the carrier's increased metabolism.
A zombie has lost any sense of reasoning and is driven completely by instincts. A zombie will pursue its prey, until it has lost enough blood or through decapitation or complete destruction of the head. A zombie can resist several gunshots from a typical 9mm handgun before falling down, but can be easily killed with either: a well-aimed shotgun blast to the head or a high-caliber magnum handgun. A zombie will continue to pursue its prey even after losing its limbs or lower half of the body. Zombies that have lost the use of their legs (either through deterioration or a well-aimed gunshot) will instead crawl towards its prey until they can bite their prey's leg. They can easily be stopped with one good stomp or kick to their head. Other zombies will lay dormant on the ground due to their lack of nutrition, but will bite anything that comes to their direction. Some zombies will pretend to be dead on the ground, only to rise up after a determined period has passed. The only way to determine a zombie's death is by checking whether there's a pool of blood under their body.
Hyper Zombies: (not to be confused with "Crimson Heads") that will approach its prey very fast and are resistant to shotgun blasts.
Cerberus/Zombie Dog: is a Doberman that has turned into a bloodthirsty hell-hound as a result of the T-Virus and now attacks any living thing that comes into their proximity. They're faster and more aggressive than a regular human zombie. These dogs have parts of their internal organs and rib cage partially exposed. Although, the terms Cerberus and Zombie Dog are usually used almost interchangeably, there's a huge difference between a Cerberus and the average Zombie Dog.
A Cerberus was used as a test subject by Umbrella to test the effects on the T-Virus. They were given the code number of MA-39 and were named Cerberus after the mythological three-headed guardian of Hades. The Cerberuses were seen in the Arklay Research Facility and running amok in the Arklay forest area. Of these, most present some internal weakness, which points to a weakness in their viral strain. A few Cerberuses were also being transported within the Ecliptic Express inside the train's Freight Car.
A Zombie Dog on the other hand, was created through accidental exposure to the T-Virus as a result of a viral outbreak. The Zombie Dogs seen in Raccoon City were police dogs that ate contaminated dog food and became zombies. The Zombie Dogs in Rockfort Island Military Training Facility were military dogs used by Umbrella's Special Forces. Still, of these, most only experience slight skin necrotizing effects, rendering their muscles in a near-perfect state. Aggression level is also increased, making them exceedingly dangerous.
Crimson Head (or V-Act): is a type of zombie. After the T-Virus infects a normal human being, it rapidly initiates a brain cell decline, but should the new zombie be knocked out. After a time, the zombie’s cell tissue regenerates and is more fresh, making it able to run. The T-Virus gives a little more intelligence to the monster, causing deeper necrotizing effects and terrible blood seeping, giving it a crimson skin, small claws, heavy resistance to common firearms, and a more aggressive attitude. Capable of a crouching sprint, clawing attacks, and limited jumping, a Crimson Head presents a significant threat to all but a heavily armed combatant. Essentially rendering sidearm useless, engagement with anything but an explosive or shotgun is highly discouraged.
The process is only halted by immolating (burning) the fallen zombie, decapitation (entirely removing the head) or by blowing out its knee caps, thereby destroying any possibility for regeneration and mutation. Areas in which a zombie was dispatched and left untended are to be deemed extremely hazardous, and any encounter with a Crimson Head where the combatant does not have access to more powerful weapons (I.E. Grenade Launchers, grenades, assault rifles) are under advisement to flee immediately. If the Crimson Head is killed, it will no longer resurrect itself.
Licker: is an irregular creature that is created when a zombie undergoes further mutation from a second exposure to the T-Virus. The creature got its name from its most distinguishing characteristic, its long sharp tongue which it uses to attack its prey. It also has its brain and muscle tissue exposed, as well as sharp claws on both of its arms. However, they don't have eyes and have to rely on their acute sense of hearing.
A Licker walks on four legs and can climb walls. It also has the ability to jump towards its prey at great heights. However, since a Licker relies on its hearing to track down its prey, it’s easily vulnerable to weapons that make little sound.
Enhanced Licker: located in Umbrella's Underground Research Facility in Raccoon City. These had a greater resistance and attack power than the regular Lickers.
Hunters: Hunters are bipedal reptilian-like creatures with large claws and teeth, and are noted for their loud shriek. They are actually B.O.Ws (Bio Organic Weapons) designed by the Umbrella Corporation by combining a fertilized human ovum with reptilian DNA and then implanting the T-Virus into the resulting creature.
Eliminators: are bio-weapons created by James Marcus by implanting the T-Virus into a primate. They were one of the earliest bio-weapons created from Marcus' experiments, along with the Lurker and Plague Crawler. The mutation caused their muscle to rip through their skin giving them more strength and speed. They are very aggressive and viciously attack prey.The Eliminators were considered successful experiments, but were not mass-produced since they only had enough intelligence to follow simple orders. Instead, Marcus saw the potential of mammals as viral carriers and decided to continue his experiments using human specimens.
Infected Bat: is a large-sized T-Virus infected vampire bat seen inside the cathedral in Umbrella's Management Training Facility. It goes after its prey by calling out the assistance of other regular sized infected bats. There were also infected bats in Rockfort Island during the viral outbreak, but these showed no sign of size increase and could be easily deterred by fire.
Chimera: (which received its name from the mythical Greek creature) is a B.O.W. that was created by inserting fly DNA and the T-Virus into human specimens. They were being manufactured inside the Arklay Research Facility's basement lab and made that section of the facility (particularly the Power Generator room) into their habitat during the Mansion incident. Aside from their fly-like appearance, the Chimera's most notable characteristics is their ability to walk over walls and ceilings. They usually use the air ducts to travel from one part of the lab to the other and attack with their claw-like limbs.The Chimera was the only other artificially-produced B.O.W. besides the Hunters and Tyrant in the facility that was created through genetic manipulation. Unlike those two, research on the Chimeras never went any further than the experimental models in the Arklay facility, as they were deemed a failure. Their wings were too small to allow them to fly (if they had any wings at all), lacked an exoskeleton like some insects, and lacked intelligence.
Bandersnatch: is a type experimental bio-weapon that was designed within the Rockfort Island military training facility. The creature got its name from a similar being of the same name. The Bandersnatches were designed to be Tyrant-class bio-weapons with greater adaptability. It has an elongated right arm which it uses to grab and attack its prey or jump from one point to another. However, it lacks its left arm and has a devolved lower body.
Crow: During the initial viral outbreak in the Arklay Mountains, as well as in the later outbreak in Raccoon City, most of the crows were immediately infected with the T-Virus after eating the dead meat of an infected creature(alive or dead as zombies are immune to pain). An infected crow might resemble a regular crow at first, but will immediately attack any living creature that wander into its territory with their sharp beaks. Also, an infected crow is not as sensitive to loud noises as their regular counterparts.
Wasp: Bees thriving in the Arklay Research Center's Residence that have grown to a huge size thanks to the viral outbreak. They hold difference from a normal bee except for the size, but they do build a massive hive in the house, from which they have to be smothered with pesticide.
Plague Crawler: is one of the bio-weapons created from James Marcus' early experiments with the T-Virus, along with the Eliminators and Lurkers. They were created by manipulating the genes of several bugs into one organism and then implanting into the virus. A Plague Crawler is two meters long in size and attacks its prey with large pincers. They were considered unfit for heavy combat due to their lack of intelligence and were disposed. However, a few of the specimens survived and managed to procreate outside of human eyes.
Web Spinners: born in the Arklay Research Facility. Ironically enough, these spiders lost their ability spin webs due to their large sizes. However, they still retain their ability to crawl over walls and ceilings and will leave behind a swarm of Baby Spiders from their abdomen when killed.
Black Tiger (seen in the facility's Underground Tunnels): is a type of Web Spinner that has underwent further mutation. It's twice the size of a regular Web Spinner and has its ability to spin web restored.
Black Widows: were B.O.Ws that were developed based on data collected from the Giant Spiders in Raccoon City and as their name suggest, they were developed by implanting the T-Virus into black widow spiders. They were sent to Rockfort Island for training purposes. However, one of the Black Widows was transferred to the Antarctic Facility and evolved into the
Giant Black Widow: as a result of the environment change. Like Web Spinners, the Giant Black Widow will release its offspring (referred as Little Spiders) from its abdomen after destruction.
Neptune (named after the Greek god of the sea) is a B.O.W. that was created by implanting the T-Virus into a great white shark. It was given the development code of Fi-3 and was created specifically to test the effects of the virus on a sea creature. The creature was accompanied by two smaller offspring. During the viral outbreak in the facility, Neptune and its spawn broke were released from their water tanks by a mad scientist, flooding the entire Aqua Ring. The creatures are very persistent and dangerous underwater.
Lurker: is one of the first bio-weapons created from James Marcus' early experiments with the T-Virus along with the Eliminators and Plague Crawlers. It is an amphibian frog that has grown to large proportions. Its eyes have devolved greatly from the mutation, but this is compensated with improved hearing senses and a strong body that is almost impervious to bullets. They attack with sharp piercing tongues and can swallow a human body whole. However the mutation showed no increase in intelligence and research on them were abandoned.
Albinoid: is an experimental bio-weapon that created in Rockfort Island by performing gene manipulation with an infant salamander and implanting T-Virus into the creature. The creature has the ability to manipulate electricity and shock its prey.
An Albinoid has a quick growth rate, able to grow from a larva to an adult in merely ten hours. The Adult Albinoid not only has an increased site from the larva, but also an increased electric charge (especially in water).
Alligator: During the viral outbreak in Raccoon City, survivors Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield encountered an Alligator that mutated to large size as a result of T-Virus exposure. The creature most notable characteristics include its huge size (over ten meters long) and its craving to bite anything. It uses the trash dump inside the sewers as it habitat and source of food.
Infected Alligators were also seen during the viral outbreak in Sheena Island. Like the one in Raccoon City, these were not deliberate bio-weapons, but accidental creations.
Yawn: is a snake-based B.O.W. that was originally a specimen that escaped from the laboratory and grew to large proportions as a result of exposure to the T-Virus. It got its name from the lab's researchers due to the fact that it appears to be yawning before swallowing its prey. Yawn's most distinguishing characteristics are the inconsistency between its width and length. Its movement and attack patterns resemble a regular snake. However, its fangs are coated with potent venom that can only be treated with an unusually powerful serum found in the mansion's medical storage room. If the wound is not treated on time, the victim will be immobilized and eventually killed by the poison. During the mansion incident, the members of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team confronted this creature inside the mansion's attic. Prior to that, Bravo Team operative Richard Aiken was already wounded by the snake and warned the team before the battle. The team managed to fend off the creature. The second and final battle occurred in the mansion's piano lesson room; however the snake was wounded from the previous battle and was easier to dispose of. Alpha Team was able to neutralize the creature with no problem.
Adder: A small snake that was not mutated extensively by the T-Virus, and that holds none of the characteristics of more enhanced B.O.W.s, such as Yawn. However, it retains poisoning capabilities and some agility in combat, in addition to being hard to hit.
Monster Plant: Formerly a non-sentient plant thriving passively in a fountain inside the Mansion's botany room, the Monster Plant was changed by T-Virus contaminated water supply into a living mutant, transforming its vines into tentacles that prevent intruders from going further. It’s more of a nuisance than a threat, since its attacks are non-lethal. And since it’s still a plant, it can still be neutralized by adding herbicide into the water source.
Plant 42: Plant 42 is a gigantic (fills a whole room) plant that can spit poison. It is located inside Point 42 of the Guesthouse. Its roots are in a separate room from the rest of its body. One of its main weaknesses is its vulnerability to a concoction called V-Jolt, which can be administered to the roots to kill it.
Humans:
This is pretty self explanatory but it’s what kind of job your human has, now I’m not saying that you have to limit your self to a human, you can be a zombie if you want to.
S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Rescue Service): A special unit of the Raccoon Police Department, it was founded in 1996 in Raccoon City in order to combat the increasing rate of terrorism and cult-related crimes. The team was formed as part of Mayor Warrens' "A Bright 21st Century for Raccoon" campaign funded by the Umbrella Corporation. It's comprised mainly of twelve members with two teams; Alpha Team (led by Albert Wesker) and Bravo Team (led by Enrico Marini).
Two years after its formation, S.T.A.R.S. was deployed by the police to investigate a series of brutal homicides that had evidence of cannibalism that had taken place in the Arklay Mountains on the outskirts of the city. The Bravo Team was sent in on July 23, 1998 to investigate these incidents.
However, contact with Bravo Team was lost and on the following day, Alpha Team was dispatched to follow-up on Bravo Team's mission. Their probe of the area led to a mansion (actually the Arklay Research Facility), where various mutated creatures (including the mansion's residents) had been transformed into undead creatures as a result of a viral outbreak. Moreover, the members of Alpha Team also found the remains of some of their Bravo Team compatriots, while finding others on the brink of death (with the exception of Rebecca Chambers, who makes it out alive).
It was revealed that the experiments in the mansion were conducted by the international Umbrella Corporation and that the team's leader, Albert Wesker, was a double agent working for Umbrella, who orchestrated the deaths of his subordinates in order to collect test battle data for Umbrella's Bio-Organic Weapons.
The team managed to thwart Wesker's plot by destroying the T-002 Tyrant prototype. Only Alpha Team members Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Brad Vickers, along with Bravo Team survivor Rebecca Chambers, managed to escape the mansion alive.
After their return to civilization, S.T.A.R.S. requested a full-scale investigation of Umbrella's activities. However, many found their outlandish story too unbelievable and the chief of police, Brian Irons (who was secretly under Umbrella's payroll) disbanded the team officially, replacing the unit with the RPD Select Police Force unit to serve as the city's armed response unit and as an equal to SWAT. The surviving members of S.T.A.R.S. banded together and participated in Anti-Umbrella operations around the globe with the exception of Brad Vickers, who refused to participate in their investigations and was killed during the Raccoon City outbreak.
S.T.A.R.S. is comprised of two different teams, Alpha and Bravo, plus an additional helicopter pilot (Kevin Dooley) for a total of 13 members. Each team is organized based on the tactical squad formation, with five field operatives and a helicopter pilot. The operatives are assigned to one of the following positions: Leader (field commander of the team), Pointman (field scouting and reconnaissance), Backup Man (provides assistance to the Pointman), Omni Man (in charge of vehicle and weapon maintenance) and Rear Security (in charge of establishing contact between HQ and the helicopter, as well as treating injured teammates). There is a member of both teams assigned to one of those positions, with an additional Rear Security operative in both teams in charge of piloting the helicopter.
Alpha Team
• Albert Wesker, Leader
• Chris Redfield, Pointman
• Barry Burton, Backup Man
• Joseph Frost, Omni Man (deceased)
• Jill Valentine, Rear Security, Medic
• Brad Vickers, Rear Security, Pilot (deceased)
Bravo Team
• Enrico Marini, Leader (deceased)
• Kenneth J. Sullivan, Pointman (deceased)
• Richard Aiken, Backup Man (deceased)
• Forest Speyer, Omni Man (deceased)
• Edward Dewey, Rear Security, Pilot (deceased)
• Rebecca Chambers, Rear Security, Medic
While not a STARS member, RPD officer Kevin Dooley also served as a substitute pilot for Bravo Team during the Arklay incident. He is deceased as well.
Equipment
• Weapons - The standard sidearm of the unit is a custom version of the M92F known as the M92FS STARS Special or Samurai Edge. It was designed by Joe Kendo, the brother of Kendo Gun Shop's owner, Robert Kendo (who is a close friend of Barry Burton). A standard model was distributed among the members of STARS, including specialized versions for Chris, Jill and Wesker. Barry's version of the gun was modified to fire .40 S&W rounds with burst fire capability instead of the standard parabellum rounds. Other weapons used by STARS included Barry's custom .44 magnum revolver, Forest's Grenade Launcher, Edward's rifle and custom Assault Shotgun wielded by Richard and Joseph. Chris and Jill also wielded their personal survival knife during the Mansion Incident.
•Outfit - Each member of STARS wears an undershirt with the STARS emblem over the right sleeve and a bullet-resistant tactical vest suited for each operative's needs and specialty. For example, Chris' vest has a knife holder over its left shoulder, while Rebecca's vest has a red cross on its back. Each member can choose their color for his or her outfit. A prototype STARS uniform was also designed consisting of green fatigues and a black vest with added pouches and the STARS logo on the back, but this outfit was never formally adopted due to the team's demise. Instead, Chris wore the only known prototype during his mission in Rockfort Island and Antarctica.
•Helicopter - There were two UH-1-model helicopters assigned to the STARS unit. The one that was piloted by Kevin Dooley and Edward Dewey of Bravo Team, the other that was piloted by Brad Vickers of Alpha Team.
•CCD Camcorder - Kenneth and Joseph had camcorders attached on their left shoulders that recorded sounds and images on DV Tapes.
Umbrella Corporation:
(Also known as Umbrella, Inc.) It operates ruthlessly as a major international player in a number of markets including pharmaceuticals, medical hardware, defense, and computers along with more clandestine operations utilizing genetic engineering and bioweaponry.
A subsidiary of Umbrella operates as a private military company. This division of the corporation maintains a highly trained security force capable of rescue, reconnaissance, and Para-military operations. Complementing this security force is an air wing, which maintains a fleet of AV-8B Harrier VTOL jump jets, C-130 water-landing capable cargo planes, CH-53 Sea Stallion cargo helicopters, Hughes H-6 "Little Bird" attack helicopters, and other military-grade craft. The corporation utilizes these resources in order to secure and protect its assets, as well as its high profile employees.
Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service: They’re owned by the Umbrella Corporation and are a different unit from the Umbrella Special Forces Unit (HUNK's unit, also known as the Umbrella Security Service) and specialize in rescue operations during biohazard outbreaks. Although they've been very successful in every operation, due to their high mortality rate the unit is comprised almost exclusively of convicted war criminals and mercenaries for hire from around the world that served their national militaries and joined the UBCS as an alternative to capital punishment for any crimes they may have been caught committing. The unit is comprised of almost 120 operatives, divided between four platoons (with two or three squads per platoon).
Involvement in the Raccoon City incident
The UBCS was deployed to Raccoon City during the T-Virus outbreaks on September 28, 1998 under the guise of helping the RPD (Raccoon City Police Department) neutralize the zombie menace and procure any survivors. However, the Umbrella's actual intentions for the unit was to used them as cannon fodder against their bio-organic weapons (particularly the Nemesis and Hunters), as well as any of the irregular mutants that resulted from the outbreak. As a result, almost all of the unit's members were killed during the outbreak. Carlos Oliveira was the only confirmed survivor during the outbreak although rumors has it that Nicholai Ginovaef, one of the Supervisors (see below), also escaped the city alive.
Uniforms and Equipment
Due to their involvement in tactical, hazardous, and combat operations, U.B.C.S. operatives wear and use military grade tactical gear. Operatives are seen wearing black combat boots, khaki-colored fatigue pants, a green fatigue shirt, and a black tactical vest with the Umbrella logo on the back. They use a variety of firearms such as 9mm pistols (like the SIGPro), the M4 carbine, various hand grenades and the experimental mine thrower.
Supervisors
Supervisors (or Observers) are secret agents within the UBCS. Their purpose was to gather combat data from B.O.Ws and mutants to Umbrella without informing any teammates, who isn't a Supervisor, as well as gathering samples and destroying all evidence of Umbrella's involvement in the outbreak. As a result, the Supervisors were acquainted with each other prior to the beginning of the operation. Due to the traitorous nature of this occupation, Umbrella selects only the most heinous of war criminals, the ones that care only to profit for themselves at the expense of others, to be Supervisors. Nicholai Ginovaef and Tyrell Patrick were merely two of several Supervisors (Nicholai operating under the codename Bravo-16). Supervisors were naturally given preferential treatment over regular mercenaries, as they were provided with means of communications to contact their superiors, were implanted with higher-quality vaccines and were provided with instructions on how to reach certain extraction points.
Known U.B.C.S. operatives
• From Delta Platoon
o Mikhail Victor (Commander.)
o Carlos Oliveira (Squad A member.)
o Nicholai Ginovaef (Squad B member. One of the Supervisors.)

Locations on the island
The Shore: Has been infested by Zombie Alligators, a wreaked ship is laying on the shore no one has walked through the ship but some passersby say that they have heard barking.
Beach Area: Zombies randomly wander around the beach, there is a fort that some of the civilians made.
City Area:[ Cerberuses run through the alleyways, zombies litter the streets; civilians have spread themselves inside the empty buildings in an attempt to stay alive.
Umbrella Corp. Laboratory: No one has actually entered that area, or came back alive for that matter; it’s the most dangerous area on the island.
Story: Raccoon City has been completely destroyed and so has the zombies in it, but word is it the Umbrella took samples with them. Umbrella has been testing on a vacation island, only a couple hundred people are on it. The T-virus has been remolded and is more deadly than ever; umbrella being the evil militaristic company that they are they decided to do a live test on a couple of their employees.

Monsters:
Zombie: refers to any person that has succumbed to the T-Virus and has been turned into a reanimated corpse that feeds on human flesh. The incubation period for the virus varies depending on the circumstances. A human will eventually turn into a zombie some time after the initial exposure to the virus; this can be a week in some cases though it is generally within a few hours, sometimes even minutes. This is usually after being heavily injured or killed by a T- Virus carrier. The most notable symptom prior to mutation is the itchiness that results from the carrier's increased metabolism.
A zombie has lost any sense of reasoning and is driven completely by instincts. A zombie will pursue its prey, until it has lost enough blood or through decapitation or complete destruction of the head. A zombie can resist several gunshots from a typical 9mm handgun before falling down, but can be easily killed with either: a well-aimed shotgun blast to the head or a high-caliber magnum handgun. A zombie will continue to pursue its prey even after losing its limbs or lower half of the body. Zombies that have lost the use of their legs (either through deterioration or a well-aimed gunshot) will instead crawl towards its prey until they can bite their prey's leg. They can easily be stopped with one good stomp or kick to their head. Other zombies will lay dormant on the ground due to their lack of nutrition, but will bite anything that comes to their direction. Some zombies will pretend to be dead on the ground, only to rise up after a determined period has passed. The only way to determine a zombie's death is by checking whether there's a pool of blood under their body.
Hyper Zombies: (not to be confused with "Crimson Heads") that will approach its prey very fast and are resistant to shotgun blasts.
Cerberus/Zombie Dog: is a Doberman that has turned into a bloodthirsty hell-hound as a result of the T-Virus and now attacks any living thing that comes into their proximity.

The Cerberuses were seen in the Arklay Research Facility and running amok in the Arklay forest area. Of these, most present some internal weakness, which points to a weakness in their viral strain. A few Cerberuses were also being transported within the Ecliptic Express inside the train's Freight Car.
A Zombie Dog on the other hand, was created through accidental exposure to the T-Virus as a result of a viral outbreak. The Zombie Dogs seen in Raccoon City were police dogs that ate contaminated dog food and became zombies.

After a time, the zombie’s cell tissue regenerates and is more fresh, making it able to run. The T-Virus gives a little more intelligence to the monster, causing deeper necrotizing effects and terrible blood seeping, giving it a crimson skin, small claws, heavy resistance to common firearms, and a more aggressive attitude. Capable of a crouching sprint, clawing attacks, and limited jumping, a Crimson Head presents a significant threat to all but a heavily armed combatant. Essentially rendering sidearm useless, engagement with anything but an explosive or shotgun is highly discouraged.
The process is only halted by immolating (burning) the fallen zombie, decapitation (entirely removing the head) or by blowing out its knee caps, thereby destroying any possibility for regeneration and mutation. Areas in which a zombie was dispatched and left untended are to be deemed extremely hazardous, and any encounter with a Crimson Head where the combatant does not have access to more powerful weapons (I.E. Grenade Launchers, grenades, assault rifles) are under advisement to flee immediately. If the Crimson Head is killed, it will no longer resurrect itself.
Licker: is an irregular creature that is created when a zombie undergoes further mutation from a second exposure to the T-Virus. The creature got its name from its most distinguishing characteristic, its long sharp tongue which it uses to attack its prey. It also has its brain and muscle tissue exposed, as well as sharp claws on both of its arms. However, they don't have eyes and have to rely on their acute sense of hearing.
A Licker walks on four legs and can climb walls. It also has the ability to jump towards its prey at great heights. However, since a Licker relies on its hearing to track down its prey, it’s easily vulnerable to weapons that make little sound.
Enhanced Licker: located in Umbrella's Underground Research Facility in Raccoon City. These had a greater resistance and attack power than the regular Lickers.

Infected Bat: is a large-sized T-Virus infected vampire bat seen inside the cathedral in Umbrella's Management Training Facility. It goes after its prey by calling out the assistance of other regular sized infected bats. There were also infected bats in Rockfort Island during the viral outbreak, but these showed no sign of size increase and could be easily deterred by fire.
Chimera: (which received its name from the mythical Greek creature) is a B.O.W. that was created by inserting fly DNA and the T-Virus into human specimens. They were being manufactured inside the Arklay Research Facility's basement lab and made that section of the facility (particularly the Power Generator room) into their habitat during the Mansion incident. Aside from their fly-like appearance, the Chimera's most notable characteristics is their ability to walk over walls and ceilings. They usually use the air ducts to travel from one part of the lab to the other and attack with their claw-like limbs.The Chimera was the only other artificially-produced B.O.W. besides the Hunters and Tyrant in the facility that was created through genetic manipulation. Unlike those two, research on the Chimeras never went any further than the experimental models in the Arklay facility, as they were deemed a failure. Their wings were too small to allow them to fly (if they had any wings at all), lacked an exoskeleton like some insects, and lacked intelligence.
Bandersnatch: is a type experimental bio-weapon that was designed within the Rockfort Island military training facility. The creature got its name from a similar being of the same name. The Bandersnatches were designed to be Tyrant-class bio-weapons with greater adaptability. It has an elongated right arm which it uses to grab and attack its prey or jump from one point to another. However, it lacks its left arm and has a devolved lower body.
Crow: During the initial viral outbreak in the Arklay Mountains, as well as in the later outbreak in Raccoon City, most of the crows were immediately infected with the T-Virus after eating the dead meat of an infected creature(alive or dead as zombies are immune to pain). An infected crow might resemble a regular crow at first, but will immediately attack any living creature that wander into its territory with their sharp beaks. Also, an infected crow is not as sensitive to loud noises as their regular counterparts.
Wasp: Bees thriving in the Arklay Research Center's Residence that have grown to a huge size thanks to the viral outbreak. They hold difference from a normal bee except for the size, but they do build a massive hive in the house, from which they have to be smothered with pesticide.
Plague Crawler: is one of the bio-weapons created from James Marcus' early experiments with the T-Virus, along with the Eliminators and Lurkers. They were created by manipulating the genes of several bugs into one organism and then implanting into the virus. A Plague Crawler is two meters long in size and attacks its prey with large pincers. They were considered unfit for heavy combat due to their lack of intelligence and were disposed. However, a few of the specimens survived and managed to procreate outside of human eyes.
Web Spinners: born in the Arklay Research Facility. Ironically enough, these spiders lost their ability spin webs due to their large sizes. However, they still retain their ability to crawl over walls and ceilings and will leave behind a swarm of Baby Spiders from their abdomen when killed.
Black Tiger (seen in the facility's Underground Tunnels): is a type of Web Spinner that has underwent further mutation. It's twice the size of a regular Web Spinner and has its ability to spin web restored.
Black Widows: were B.O.Ws that were developed based on data collected from the Giant Spiders in Raccoon City and as their name suggest, they were developed by implanting the T-Virus into black widow spiders. They were sent to Rockfort Island for training purposes. However, one of the Black Widows was transferred to the Antarctic Facility and evolved into the
Giant Black Widow: as a result of the environment change. Like Web Spinners, the Giant Black Widow will release its offspring (referred as Little Spiders) from its abdomen after destruction.
Neptune (named after the Greek god of the sea) is a B.O.W. that was created by implanting the T-Virus into a great white shark. It was given the development code of Fi-3 and was created specifically to test the effects of the virus on a sea creature. The creature was accompanied by two smaller offspring. During the viral outbreak in the facility, Neptune and its spawn broke were released from their water tanks by a mad scientist, flooding the entire Aqua Ring. The creatures are very persistent and dangerous underwater.
Lurker: is one of the first bio-weapons created from James Marcus' early experiments with the T-Virus along with the Eliminators and Plague Crawlers. It is an amphibian frog that has grown to large proportions. Its eyes have devolved greatly from the mutation, but this is compensated with improved hearing senses and a strong body that is almost impervious to bullets. They attack with sharp piercing tongues and can swallow a human body whole. However the mutation showed no increase in intelligence and research on them were abandoned.
Albinoid: is an experimental bio-weapon that created in Rockfort Island by performing gene manipulation with an infant salamander and implanting T-Virus into the creature. The creature has the ability to manipulate electricity and shock its prey.
An Albinoid has a quick growth rate, able to grow from a larva to an adult in merely ten hours. The Adult Albinoid not only has an increased site from the larva, but also an increased electric charge (especially in water).
Alligator: During the viral outbreak in Raccoon City, survivors Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield encountered an Alligator that mutated to large size as a result of T-Virus exposure. The creature most notable characteristics include its huge size (over ten meters long) and its craving to bite anything. It uses the trash dump inside the sewers as it habitat and source of food.
Infected Alligators were also seen during the viral outbreak in Sheena Island. Like the one in Raccoon City, these were not deliberate bio-weapons, but accidental creations.
Yawn: is a snake-based B.O.W. that was originally a specimen that escaped from the laboratory and grew to large proportions as a result of exposure to the T-Virus. It got its name from the lab's researchers due to the fact that it appears to be yawning before swallowing its prey. Yawn's most distinguishing characteristics are the inconsistency between its width and length. Its movement and attack patterns resemble a regular snake. However, its fangs are coated with potent venom that can only be treated with an unusually powerful serum found in the mansion's medical storage room. If the wound is not treated on time, the victim will be immobilized and eventually killed by the poison. During the mansion incident, the members of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team confronted this creature inside the mansion's attic. Prior to that, Bravo Team operative Richard Aiken was already wounded by the snake and warned the team before the battle. The team managed to fend off the creature. The second and final battle occurred in the mansion's piano lesson room; however the snake was wounded from the previous battle and was easier to dispose of. Alpha Team was able to neutralize the creature with no problem.
Adder: A small snake that was not mutated extensively by the T-Virus, and that holds none of the characteristics of more enhanced B.O.W.s, such as Yawn. However, it retains poisoning capabilities and some agility in combat, in addition to being hard to hit.
Monster Plant: Formerly a non-sentient plant thriving passively in a fountain inside the Mansion's botany room, the Monster Plant was changed by T-Virus contaminated water supply into a living mutant, transforming its vines into tentacles that prevent intruders from going further. It’s more of a nuisance than a threat, since its attacks are non-lethal. And since it’s still a plant, it can still be neutralized by adding herbicide into the water source.
Plant 42: Plant 42 is a gigantic (fills a whole room) plant that can spit poison. It is located inside Point 42 of the Guesthouse. Its roots are in a separate room from the rest of its body. One of its main weaknesses is its vulnerability to a concoction called V-Jolt, which can be administered to the roots to kill it.
Humans:
This is pretty self explanatory but it’s what kind of job your human has, now I’m not saying that you have to limit your self to a human, you can be a zombie if you want to.
S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Rescue Service): A special unit of the Raccoon Police Department, it was founded in 1996 in Raccoon City in order to combat the increasing rate of terrorism and cult-related crimes. The team was formed as part of Mayor Warrens' "A Bright 21st Century for Raccoon" campaign funded by the Umbrella Corporation. It's comprised mainly of twelve members with two teams; Alpha Team (led by Albert Wesker) and Bravo Team (led by Enrico Marini).
Two years after its formation, S.T.A.R.S. was deployed by the police to investigate a series of brutal homicides that had evidence of cannibalism that had taken place in the Arklay Mountains on the outskirts of the city. The Bravo Team was sent in on July 23, 1998 to investigate these incidents.
However, contact with Bravo Team was lost and on the following day, Alpha Team was dispatched to follow-up on Bravo Team's mission. Their probe of the area led to a mansion (actually the Arklay Research Facility), where various mutated creatures (including the mansion's residents) had been transformed into undead creatures as a result of a viral outbreak. Moreover, the members of Alpha Team also found the remains of some of their Bravo Team compatriots, while finding others on the brink of death (with the exception of Rebecca Chambers, who makes it out alive).
It was revealed that the experiments in the mansion were conducted by the international Umbrella Corporation and that the team's leader, Albert Wesker, was a double agent working for Umbrella, who orchestrated the deaths of his subordinates in order to collect test battle data for Umbrella's Bio-Organic Weapons.
The team managed to thwart Wesker's plot by destroying the T-002 Tyrant prototype. Only Alpha Team members Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Brad Vickers, along with Bravo Team survivor Rebecca Chambers, managed to escape the mansion alive.
After their return to civilization, S.T.A.R.S. requested a full-scale investigation of Umbrella's activities. However, many found their outlandish story too unbelievable and the chief of police, Brian Irons (who was secretly under Umbrella's payroll) disbanded the team officially, replacing the unit with the RPD Select Police Force unit to serve as the city's armed response unit and as an equal to SWAT. The surviving members of S.T.A.R.S. banded together and participated in Anti-Umbrella operations around the globe with the exception of Brad Vickers, who refused to participate in their investigations and was killed during the Raccoon City outbreak.
S.T.A.R.S. is comprised of two different teams, Alpha and Bravo, plus an additional helicopter pilot (Kevin Dooley) for a total of 13 members. Each team is organized based on the tactical squad formation, with five field operatives and a helicopter pilot. The operatives are assigned to one of the following positions: Leader (field commander of the team), Pointman (field scouting and reconnaissance), Backup Man (provides assistance to the Pointman), Omni Man (in charge of vehicle and weapon maintenance) and Rear Security (in charge of establishing contact between HQ and the helicopter, as well as treating injured teammates). There is a member of both teams assigned to one of those positions, with an additional Rear Security operative in both teams in charge of piloting the helicopter.
Alpha Team
• Albert Wesker, Leader
• Chris Redfield, Pointman
• Barry Burton, Backup Man
• Joseph Frost, Omni Man (deceased)
• Jill Valentine, Rear Security, Medic
• Brad Vickers, Rear Security, Pilot (deceased)
Bravo Team
• Enrico Marini, Leader (deceased)
• Kenneth J. Sullivan, Pointman (deceased)
• Richard Aiken, Backup Man (deceased)
• Forest Speyer, Omni Man (deceased)
• Edward Dewey, Rear Security, Pilot (deceased)
• Rebecca Chambers, Rear Security, Medic
While not a STARS member, RPD officer Kevin Dooley also served as a substitute pilot for Bravo Team during the Arklay incident. He is deceased as well.
Equipment
• Weapons - The standard sidearm of the unit is a custom version of the M92F known as the M92FS STARS Special or Samurai Edge. It was designed by Joe Kendo, the brother of Kendo Gun Shop's owner, Robert Kendo (who is a close friend of Barry Burton). A standard model was distributed among the members of STARS, including specialized versions for Chris, Jill and Wesker. Barry's version of the gun was modified to fire .40 S&W rounds with burst fire capability instead of the standard parabellum rounds. Other weapons used by STARS included Barry's custom .44 magnum revolver, Forest's Grenade Launcher, Edward's rifle and custom Assault Shotgun wielded by Richard and Joseph. Chris and Jill also wielded their personal survival knife during the Mansion Incident.
•Outfit - Each member of STARS wears an undershirt with the STARS emblem over the right sleeve and a bullet-resistant tactical vest suited for each operative's needs and specialty. For example, Chris' vest has a knife holder over its left shoulder, while Rebecca's vest has a red cross on its back. Each member can choose their color for his or her outfit. A prototype STARS uniform was also designed consisting of green fatigues and a black vest with added pouches and the STARS logo on the back, but this outfit was never formally adopted due to the team's demise. Instead, Chris wore the only known prototype during his mission in Rockfort Island and Antarctica.
•Helicopter - There were two UH-1-model helicopters assigned to the STARS unit. The one that was piloted by Kevin Dooley and Edward Dewey of Bravo Team, the other that was piloted by Brad Vickers of Alpha Team.
•CCD Camcorder - Kenneth and Joseph had camcorders attached on their left shoulders that recorded sounds and images on DV Tapes.
Umbrella Corporation:
(Also known as Umbrella, Inc.) It operates ruthlessly as a major international player in a number of markets including pharmaceuticals, medical hardware, defense, and computers along with more clandestine operations utilizing genetic engineering and bioweaponry.
A subsidiary of Umbrella operates as a private military company. This division of the corporation maintains a highly trained security force capable of rescue, reconnaissance, and Para-military operations. Complementing this security force is an air wing, which maintains a fleet of AV-8B Harrier VTOL jump jets, C-130 water-landing capable cargo planes, CH-53 Sea Stallion cargo helicopters, Hughes H-6 "Little Bird" attack helicopters, and other military-grade craft. The corporation utilizes these resources in order to secure and protect its assets, as well as its high profile employees.
Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service: They’re owned by the Umbrella Corporation and are a different unit from the Umbrella Special Forces Unit (HUNK's unit, also known as the Umbrella Security Service) and specialize in rescue operations during biohazard outbreaks. Although they've been very successful in every operation, due to their high mortality rate the unit is comprised almost exclusively of convicted war criminals and mercenaries for hire from around the world that served their national militaries and joined the UBCS as an alternative to capital punishment for any crimes they may have been caught committing. The unit is comprised of almost 120 operatives, divided between four platoons (with two or three squads per platoon).
Involvement in the Raccoon City incident
The UBCS was deployed to Raccoon City during the T-Virus outbreaks on September 28, 1998 under the guise of helping the RPD (Raccoon City Police Department) neutralize the zombie menace and procure any survivors. However, the Umbrella's actual intentions for the unit was to used them as cannon fodder against their bio-organic weapons (particularly the Nemesis and Hunters), as well as any of the irregular mutants that resulted from the outbreak. As a result, almost all of the unit's members were killed during the outbreak. Carlos Oliveira was the only confirmed survivor during the outbreak although rumors has it that Nicholai Ginovaef, one of the Supervisors (see below), also escaped the city alive.
Uniforms and Equipment
Due to their involvement in tactical, hazardous, and combat operations, U.B.C.S. operatives wear and use military grade tactical gear. Operatives are seen wearing black combat boots, khaki-colored fatigue pants, a green fatigue shirt, and a black tactical vest with the Umbrella logo on the back. They use a variety of firearms such as 9mm pistols (like the SIGPro), the M4 carbine, various hand grenades and the experimental mine thrower.
Supervisors
Supervisors (or Observers) are secret agents within the UBCS. Their purpose was to gather combat data from B.O.Ws and mutants to Umbrella without informing any teammates, who isn't a Supervisor, as well as gathering samples and destroying all evidence of Umbrella's involvement in the outbreak. As a result, the Supervisors were acquainted with each other prior to the beginning of the operation. Due to the traitorous nature of this occupation, Umbrella selects only the most heinous of war criminals, the ones that care only to profit for themselves at the expense of others, to be Supervisors. Nicholai Ginovaef and Tyrell Patrick were merely two of several Supervisors (Nicholai operating under the codename Bravo-16). Supervisors were naturally given preferential treatment over regular mercenaries, as they were provided with means of communications to contact their superiors, were implanted with higher-quality vaccines and were provided with instructions on how to reach certain extraction points.
