History Characters / ResidentEvilOutbreak

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Players can ultimately leave him to his fact by refusing to lend a hand, or even lure him to a window early on and allow him to be pulled outside by zombies. The difference is minor though since the players will only miss a few points and a special cutscene.

* OutsideContextProblem: [[spoiler:Still fresh-and-kicking completely unmutated mad-men out for our heroes blood are a rare sight in the world of Resident Evil, especially one that's a literal slasher villain instead of a villainous mercenary.]]

* ContinuitySnarl: She has an unique adlib [[https://youtu.be/V5RURs1_5Rw?t=155 when near Linda in File#2]], where she claims her base cells were used to create T-Virus, also implying it was created recently, and both are impossible. By the point File#2 was released, Wesker's Report II had already established that T-Virus was created at some point in the 60's, while the first game's remake doesn't give an exact date, it implies T is old, and VideoGame/ResidentEvil0 has Marcus' diary confirming he created T by mixing Progenitor Virus with Leech DNA. Later games leaned towards what the main games said and ignored what File#2 said about Yoko.

* SkillGateCharacters: Kevin was especially designed for beginners. He has no real weaknesses (except the aforementioned short virus gauge), deals plenty of damage, and an all-around sturdy character. That said, he's also arguably the most "bland", lacking any standout abilities save for his 'charged' shots.

* SkillGateCharacter: Her specialty is a four slot pouch with two of each herb, which makes her forgiving off the bat to enemies that can inflict poison; blue herbs are actually fairly uncommon in the Outbreak series. In File #2, her special item even cures bleeding, a massive boon considering how many enemies inflict that ailment in the game. However, she has atrocious health and mastering her invaluable ducking dodge takes practice.

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Defeating him at the end of the scenario has him retreat for good, and triggers an extended ending where he holds a decaying Dorthy in his arms before happily accepting fate.]]

* CustomUniform: His RPD uniform is nearly identical to the one Leon wears, which no other officers are shown to have, but it's played even straighter in that Kevin's version also has a unique collar that differs from Leon's (Oxford style, as opposed to Mandarin)

* TheQuietOne: He's fairly reserved, and seems lost in thought.

[[folder:Bob]]
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reoutbreakbobpark.png]]

Mark's friend and fellow co-worker. If Mark is played in ''Outbreak'', the game starts off with him appearing to be drunk or not feeling well, and even has him stumble onto the floor. When the game begins, the player has the option to lend him a shoulder to help him out of that spot.

* DoomedHurtGuy: No matter what, he's not surviving the outbreak.
* DrivenToSuicide: If he has been escorted to the roof, he will shoot himself in front of Mark.
** AndThenJohnWasAZombie: In harder difficulties, there is a chance he will become a zombie before he can get a gun to his head.
* DyingAsYourself: He knows he's infected, and begs Mark to let him die "while he still has some conscience left."
* TheLoad: He's quite aware of this too. See DrivenToSuicide.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: Anyone who helps him to the roof earns some extra points, regardless of the conclusion.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Players can ultimately leave him to his fact by refusing to lend a hand, or even lure him to a window early on and allow him to be pulled outside by zombies. The difference is minor though since the players will only miss a few points and a special cutscene.

[[folder:Al Lester]]
[[quoteright:188:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alrender.png]]

A seemingly harmless old man living in an abandoned hospital near the Arklay Mountains. In truth, he's [[spoiler:a deranged psycho who's been murdering any survivors that happen to wander by, as the "Axe Man".]]

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:As literal as it gets.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Defeating him at the end of the scenario has him retreat for good, and triggers an extended ending where he holds a decaying Dorthy in his arms before happily accepting fate.]]
* ImplacableMan: [[spoiler:He. Will. Not. Die!]]
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Synthetic skin, which nulls his pain and protects him.]]
* OutsideContextProblem: [[spoiler:Still fresh-and-kicking completely unmutated mad-men out for our heroes blood are a rare sight in the world of Resident Evil, especially one that's a literal slasher villain instead of a villainous mercenary.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Only for ‘‘Flashback'' though.
* WrongGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:He likes to lure victims to the hospital in order to kill and feed to his mutated wife. He never counted on these survivors being able to fight back so hard.]]

[[folder:Regan Mallet]]
[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/regan1.png]]

Regan headed into the woods with her daughter Lucy in an attempt to escape Raccoon City, and ended up trapped inside a cabin as mutated insects invaded the forest.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She and her daughter were last seen taking shelter inside Ed's old cabin in the woods. It's possible they survived, or that they were eaten by giant roaches.

[[folder:Hursh]]
[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harsh.png]]

A doctor working at the Raccoon City Hospital, who assists the survivors in getting the elevators working before falling victim to the Leech Man.

* MauveShirt: He helps the other survivors out a bit, prior to being killed by the leeches.
* PeoplePuppets: After he's killed, the leeches migrate from their previous host and puppeteer his corpse around.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the start of the scenario, he tells the player that he's planning to escape the hospital, since it is no longer a safe haven.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: He's returned to normal (albeit dead) after the survivors kill the leeches controlling him.

[[folder:Suspended]]
!!AKA: Regis Licker
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/z0mwogy.png]]

A highly unique irregular offshoot of the Licker only encountered once as a boss fight.

* FlunkyBoss: It is flanked by regular Lickers, and they'll rush to its defense if it's being roughed up. The trick is to only engage the Suspended in combat when the player rings the fire alarm bell to completely distract the Lickers.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Absolutely no official explanation is given for this creature's existence or biology than what's inferred from its appearance and gameplay. There are unused voice lines from George that imply that he originally knew who the monster was back when she was human however.
* OverlyLongTongue: As expected of a Licker offshoot, it has a long tongue to whip and strike its victims.
* StationaryBoss: It never moves from where it clings and doesn't do anything unless the player attacks it.

* TheChick: In practice, Cindy's just as capable as any other character, but she's the most chick-like of the lot.
** Her SP items tend to be beauty products, cosmetics, and "cute" things like dolls or a frilly apron.

* BareYourMidriff: Alyssa's alternate outfits include a sports bra/track pants combo and a bikini.
