Line #44 Characters/ResidentEvilAbridged


1	Note: This page is for their portrayal in The Abridged. See the appropriate character pages for their canonical information.
2
3	[[folder: Chris Redfield]]
4	The male protagonist, who alternates between being level-headed, to snarky, to apathetic, depending on the scene and who he's interacting with.
5	----
6	* BigBrotherInstinct: Twice, towards Rebecca.
7	** Since she's a medic and a rookie, he offers to let her stick by him so he can watch over her. But she politely declines, since having a medic on hand [[GenreSavvy would ruin the tension]] of being in a SurvivalHorror game.
8	** Later, Chris makes the offer again after saving Rebecca from a Hunter. This time, she agrees. And when she begs him to let her [[spoiler: blow up the mansion]], he gives in:
9	-->'''Chris:''' ''(fondly)'' "Aww... can't say "no" [[TheCutie to that face."]]
10	* BigDamnHeroes: He arrives in the nick of time to save Rebecca from a Hunter, then he frees Jill after defeating the Tyrant for the first time. Once the survivors reach the helipad, he uses the rocket launcher to take out the Tyrant for good.
11	* TheComicallySerious: Chris rarely raises his voice, even when he's angry. Yet, he has some of the most comedic banter in The Abridged; usually with either Brad, Wesker, and ''[[SnarkToSnarkCombat especially]]'' Rebecca.
12	* DeadpanSnarker: Chris calls things as he sees them, usually in the form of dry wit.
13	* {{Foil}}: To Wesker, who acts as the leader of S.T.A.R.S., while really being an agent of Umbrella. Whereas Chris ends up being the one to oppose Umbrella and leads the other survivors in escaping the mansion.
14	* TheHero: As in the game, he ends up being the one who saves Jill and Rebecca and ultimately defeats the Tyrant, "Christina".
15	* IncompatibleOrientation: Wesker harbors closeted feelings towards Chris, who does his damndest not to say anything about it, since he's straight.
16	* NiceGuy: As long as he isn't being harassed by Wesker, or agrivated by Brad who keeps making excuses not to come back for them, after he left them all to die.
17	* PragmaticHero: He may be a nice guy, but he isn't about to put himself and their only medic at risk, by trying to lug [[IronButtMonkey Richard's]] unconscious body around a house full of zombies.
18	* SarcasticDevotee: Aptly summed up by the following exchange between him and Wesker, who railroads him into a suicide mission to retrieve a missing key from the aquatic research facility:
19	-->'''Chris:''' ''(at Wesker)'' "Uh-huh. And any idea where it is?"
20	-->'''Wesker:''' "Well, following the trend of this place, it's probably in a highly dangerous area. On a related note: I found a document about an underground aquatic-life testing facility."
21	-->'''Chris:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "...and I'll bet you want ME to check it out."]]
22	-->'''Wesker:''' ''(ignoring him)'' [[GladIThoughtOfIt "Absolutely!" you say? Thanks a bunch, Chris.]] That's what I like about you: a real go-getter. Do be careful to stay in one piece. K thanks bye." ''(leaves quickly)''
23	* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Almost any time he and Rebecca are in a scene together, which is covered extensively in their section of the [[Funny/ResidentEvilAbridged Funny Moments]] page.
24	[[/folder]]
25
26	[[folder: Jill Valentine]]
27	[=RE1=]'s {{deuteragonist}} and female lead character. Here, she's portrayed as a disgruntled member of S.T.A.R.S.
28	----
29	* ActionGirl: Jill fares well while exploring the mansion on her own and, near the end, she and Rebecca cover the group's escape, by holding off a horde of zombies.
30	* BerserkButton: It's clear that she hasn't forgotten about the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtTfptkUgj0 "Jill sandwich"]] meme, nor has she gotten over it, because it sets her off any time anyone tries to bring it up - especially Barry.
31	* DamselInDistress: She lampshades it when she gets locked in the ceiling trap room:
32	-->'''Jill:''' ''(as the ceiling starts to lower)'' "Oh, you have GOT to be kiding me!"\
33	'''Jill:''' ''(banging on door)'' "HEY!! Damsel in ALL KINDS OF DISTRESS HERE!!"
34	** Lampshaded again, when Chris asks why she's volunteering to cover their escape. She says it's because she'd already been rescued three times and needed to vent her frustrations by (quote): "killing some shit".
35	* DeadpanSnarker: Jill would be excellent at ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' because she's GenreSavvy enough to suspect Barry of [[LuredIntoATrap setting her up]], calls bullshit on Wesker's [[spoiler: bathroom excuse]][[note]]since there's only one in the entire mansion[[/note]], and knows when she's stumbled into a boss battle.
36	* DamselOutOfDistress: Barry's attempt to hold Jill at gunpoint ends almost as soon as he draws his Magnum on her. She snatches it out of his hands, then turns it on him.
37	* DullSurprise: Jill's reaction when Barry turns on her for the ''[[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor third time]]'', after assuring her 100% that he wouldn't do it again. She's only mildly annoyed by it and doesn't bother to turn around.
38	-->''(Barry cocks gun and points it at Jill's head)''
39	-->'''Jill:''' ''(deadpan)'' "One hundred percent, huh?"
40	* GenreSavvy:
41	** After stumbling across [[spoiler: Forest]]'s corpse, she knew it would reanimate the moment she turned her back on it. Which it did.
42	-->''(corpse reanimates and tries to attack her)''
43	-->'''Jill:''' "...aannd, right on cue!" ''(BLAM!)''
44	** And upon entering the large vacant room in the attic, [[BreakingTheFourthWall the lack of background music]] warns her that she's just entered a boss fight, right before Yawn appears.
45	** It doesn't take long for her to suspect Barry can't be trusted either. So she only pretends to buy his lame excuse, after overhearing his meeting with Wesker.
46	* ImpliedLoveInterest: The Abridged implies Chris may be attracted to Jill, by describing her as: "a hot straight-talking woman."
47	* SurroundedByIdiots: Her general attitude towards Barry for his poorly veiled attempts to set her up, along with his equally poor excuses each time she calls him out on acting suspiciously.
48	[[/folder]]
49
50	[[folder: Barry Burton]]
51	The companion character to Jill's campaign in [=RE1=], who's being blackmailed by Wesker to eliminate her. Except he [[MinionWithAnFInEvil fails miserably at it]], 'cuz he's even worse at lying.
52	----
53	* AdaptationalVillainy: {{Downplayed}}, since Barry's still being blackmailed to set Jill up, and isn't proud of it, except he's mainly doing it so his wife [[spoiler: won't find out about [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles his taste in porn]]]]. And instead of turning against Wesker in the end, [[spoiler: the Tyrant does it]].
54	* ApologizesALot: For every time he's forced to turn against Jill.
55	-->'''Barry:''' ''(holding Jill at gunpoint)'' "For the record, I really ''am'' sorry."
56	-->'''Jill:''' ''(deadpan)'' "Barry, you'e dead to me."
57	* BadLiar: Played for laughs, since Jill [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it]] every single time. From wanting to know why he was in the eastwing of the mansion, when he supposed to be investigating the westwing, to why he was obviously covering for Wesker, after she heard their conversation.
58	* BigDamnHeroes: He saves Jill from the aforementioned ceiling trap room and from the giant plant monster in the basement.
59	* ForcedIntoEvil: Under threat of Wesker [[spoiler: showing Barry's wife [[PornStash all the]] {{hentai}} he has hidden in the browser history of his computer]].
60	* HappilyMarried: And he aims to keep it that way, even if it means having to play along with Wesker's plan to betray S.T.A.R.S.
61	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Only because he's got no choice, so he alternates between saving Jill one moment and betraying her the next. But once the secret's out, he sides with Jill for good.
62	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: You can't help but feel sorry for the poor guy, since he's so bad at his job. Which also makes it hilarious to watch.
63	* ObviousJudas: Both Jill and the audience sees his betrayal coming well in advance, to where she [[DullSurprise barely acknowledges it]] when it finally happens at the end.
64	* PornStash: It turns out Barry secretly has a thing for [[PerverseSexualLust animated schoolgirls]] and tentacle porn, 'cuz he [[spoiler: has a lot of it hidden in his browser history]].
65	* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: It's bad enough that he's on Wesker's leash, so the last thing Barry wants (or needs) are compliments from him:
66	-->'''Wesker:''' ''(admirably)'' "Excellent backstabbing, Barry. You make me proud."
67	-->'''Barry:''' ''(irately)'' "I'm not doing it for YOU, Wesker!"
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder: Rebecca Chambers]]
71	A rookie member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo and their field medic. In [=RE1=], she serves as the companion character from Chris' campaign.
72	----
73	* ActionGirl: She teams up with Jill near the end to hold off a wave of zombies.
74	-->'''Rebecca:''' ''(charges off with gun drawn)'' "Yeah! Girl power [[BuffySpeak and stuff!"]]
75	* TheCameo: She makes a brief return in ''Resident Evil 3 Abridged'', via a voiceover clip of a report she left on her desk. She explains that she's busy working on finding a way to [[Anime/ResidentEvilVendetta cure the T-virus]].
76	* TheCutie: She's 18, which makes her the youngest member of S.T.A.R.S. and so adorable that Chris [[BigBrotherInstinct offers to look out for her]], shortly after their introductions.
77	* DestructiveSaviour: Guess who hit the self-destruct to blow up the Spencer Mansion?
78	-->'''Rebecca:''' ''(innocently)'' "Aww, c'mon! Can't we blow it up?? Pleasepleaseplease, PLEE~EEAASE??"
79	-->'''Chris:''' ''(relents)'' "Ohh... can't say "no" [[TheCutie to that face.]] Alright, give me 20 minutes to find Jill, then light it up."
80	-->'''Rebecca:''' ''(cutely)'' "YES! Thanks!" ''(runs off to do it)''
81	* FirstDayFromHell: {{Downplayed}} in her case, since she already endured most of her hardships during the events of the prequel. Though she nearly gets killed by a Hunter.
82	* GenreSavvy enough to realize she's a medic in a SurvivalHorror game, which is why she figures [[GameBreaker it'd be unfair if she tagged along]] with Chris.
83	* LittleMissSnarker: Always delivered in soft-spoken, gentle fashion.
84	* TheMedic: It's her role on the team.
85	* NewMeat: As previously mentioned, she's a new recruit with the events of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil0 REØ]] and [=RE1=] comprising her very first assignment.
86	* [[NiceGuy Nice Gal]]: She's generally well-meaning and considerate of others, though it doesn't stop her from abandoning Richard after inoculating him.
87	* PragmaticHero:
88	** Like Chris, she has no problem ditching one of her patients in crisis situation, if attempting to carry the patient to safety puts herself or her other teammates at risk.
89	** In ''Resident Evil 3 Abridged'', she acknowledges that she isn't much of a combatant, so she decides to help fight Umbrella the only way she can: By using her medical expertise to try to find a way to cure the T-virus. If successful, she even says she'll patent it so Umbrella can't use it.
90	-->'''Rebecca''': ''(voiceover)'' "YAY! Dramatic irony!"
91	-->'''Jill''': ''(amused)'' "Row, row, fight the power, girl."
92	* SnarkToSnarkCombat: In almost every scene with Chris.
93	-->'''Rebecca:''' ''(at Chris)'' "Okay, between the two of us, ''who'' has the medical degree...?"
94	-->'''Chris:''' "That doesn't automatically make you an expert on toxicology!"
95	* SoleSurvivor: Most of Bravo Team died during the events of [=REØ=], so by the start of [=RE1=], Rebecca, Richard, Forest, and their captain, Enrico are the only ones who made it to the mansion. By the time it's over, Rebecca is the only one left.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder: Albert Wesker]]
99	The team's leader and the series' main antagonist. Though he's actually an undercover agent for the Umbrella Corporation.
100	----
101	* DeadpanSnarker:
102	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Almost no one on the team has anything nice to say about Wesker. Chris describes him as, "a jackal who's married to his sunglasses," Jill thinks he's condescending, and Barry flatly tells him that he isn't double-crossing Jill for his sake. In the end, [[spoiler: even "Christina" turns on him]]!
103	* GladIThoughtOfIt: Masterfully done by Wesker, to get Chris to retrieve the passcode key to the aquatic-life testing facility he read about.
104	-->'''Chris:''' "Any idea where it is?"
105	-->'''Wesker:''' "Well, following [[MalevolentArchitecture the trend of this place]], I'd assume the most dangerous area possible. On a related note: [[ContrivedCoincidence I happened upon a document about an aquatic-life testing facility."]]
106	-->'''Chris:''' "...and I'll bet you want ME to check it out, right?"
107	-->'''Wesker:''' ''(ignores him)'' [[AskAStupidQuestion "Absolutely!" you say? Thanks a bunch,]] Chris. That's what I like about you: a real go-getter. Do be careful to stay in one piece. K thanks bye." ''(leaves quickly)''
108	* HopelessSuitor: To Chris.
109	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: After appearing to be shot by Wesker, [[spoiler: Rebecca]] is revealed to be perfectly fine. The shot missed, even though [[spoiler: she]] was standing right in front of him!
110	* IncompatibleOrientation: Wesker's got it bad for Chris, except he's straight and implied to have the hots for Jill. Not that Wesker's going to let that stop him from trying.
111	* LaughablyEvil: The Abridged plays his obsession with Chris for laughs, by portraying Wesker as having an unrequited crush on him. Plus, his plans to eliminate S.T.A.R.S. fails due largely to Barry's incompetence.
112	* MoleInCharge: Publicly, he's the leader of S.T.A.R.S., but he's actually an undercover agent [[NebulousEvilOrganization of Umbrella.]]
113	* NotNowKiddo: Invoked near the end, when he [[spoiler: tries to shoot Rebecca]] for interrupting his conversation with Chris.
114	-->'''[[spoiler: Rebecca]]:''' "Um... excuse my interruption, but I'm confused with what--"
115	-->'''Wesker:''' ''(impatiently)'' "Quiet! Mommy and Daddy are talking!" ''(BLAM!!)''
116	* OperationJealousy: When Chris confronts Wesker, he demands to know where Jill's being held prisoner. Wesker responds by revealing the Tyrant instead and says "she's" his girlfriend. Not that Chris cares.
117	-->'''Wesker:''' "Meet... my girlfriend: "Christina"!"
118	-->'''Chris:''' ''([[{{Beat}} brief pause]])'' "...okay."
119	-->'''Wesker:''' ''(starts monologuing)'' "I couldn't wait for you forever, Chris."
120	-->'''Chris:''' ''(laughs)'' "What??"
121	-->'''Wesker:''' "We date each other all the time."
122	-->'''Chris:''' "Healthy!"
123	-->'''Wesker:''' ''(mumbles to Tyrant)'' "Heh, heh, heh! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I think it's working. Quick, give me a hug. That'll make him envious."]]
124	* SunglassesAtNight: Literally. The opening cinematic shows him wearing his shades in the dead of night, as the group flees toward the mansion and he never takes them off.
125	* WouldHitAGirl: Make that, 'would ''shoot'' a girl', provided he hadn't missed.
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder: Richard]]
129	One of the few survivng members of Bravo Team to make to the mansion. Things might've been better for him if he ''hadn't''.
130	----
131	* TheChewToy:
132	** His remaining hours are spent being [[RunningGag repeatedly screwed over]] by his own teammates, ''and'' the monsters in the mansion.
133	** Also counts as a literal example, because he gets bitten by Yawn three separate times in the exact same spot.
134	* FirstDayFromHell: The Raccoon City incident was his first assignment, in which: the team's helicopter crashed, he got separated from most of the others and barely made through the forest after being pursued by a pack of zombie dogs. Then after making inside, it only gets worse for him.
135	* IronButtMonkey: See the RunningGag entry below.
136	* KilledMidsentence: Right as he leaps at Chris to get his revenge, [[spoiler: a shark leaps out of the tank and eats him]].
137	* RunningGag: Richard gets vaccinated twice for his snake bites, only to have his teammates ditch him afterward. First, it's Chris and Rebecca who leave him while he's unconscious. Whereas Jill [[BystanderSyndrome just up and leaves him]] while he's trapped in a room with Yawn - where he gets bitten for the ''third time''!
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder: Brad Vickers]]
141	The S.T.A.R.S. team's helicopter pilot in [=RE1=]. The Abridged series portrays him as a smartass and a coward who abandons Chris and the others, at the first sign of trouble. A decision which eventually comes back to haunt him in ''Resident Evil 3 Abridged''.
142	----
143	* AintTooProudToBeg: Seen twice in '' Resident Evil 3 Abridged'' when he gets cornered. He tries to play it off the first time with his usual banter, but he quickly caves in and is forced to beg for his life and Jill's forgiveness. He tries asking for her help again against [[spoiler: the Nemesis]], but she's unable to move [[BreakingTheFourthWall due to it being]] [[CutsceneIncompetence a cutscene]].
144	* AssholeVictim: So remember that part about him abandoning his team to die back at the Spencer Mansion? Let's just say Jill didn't forget it, 'cuz she had no problem returning the favor when Brad [[spoiler: gets cornered in the bar]]. She decides to enjoy the show instead.
145	* CasualDangerDialog: Brad can't help being a smartass, even when he's being eaten alive by zombies.
146	-->'''Brad''': ''(struggling to push zombie away)'' "Stop! No hickey! What kinda floozie do you take me for??"
147	-->'''Jill''': ''(wistfully)'' "If only I could freeze this moment in time, I'd frame it and hang it in my living room."
148	* DirtyCoward:
149	** All it took was Joseph being mauled to death by Dobermans for Brad to hightail it, leaving Chris and the others to fend for themselves. Then adds insult to injury by making bogus claims of "radio interference" as an excuse not to come back for them.
150	** Brad still hasn't learned his lesson in ''Resident Evil 3 Abridged'', where he runs away while leaving Jill trapped in an alley filled with zombies. Which is the reason she [[LaserGuidedKarma lets]] ''[[AssholeVictim him]]'' die only minutes later.
