Okay, I've read the rules, the plot line for 4.0. I'm still a little confused. Did all the Resident Evil's happen? And did Raccoon city get reconstructed? I mean, is the planet virus free till 2009? Or is it affected by the virus until 2009? Cause I had a hard time understanding what exactly to consider when creating a character. Yes I read the guidelines about character creation, I have pruinted them out and am creating a character right now. I just don't know what to think. Did Resident Evil 2 and 3 happen? Cause I was gonna have a few events that occured in the history of my character, not the people themselves like Leon, Claire and Jill. Just the car crash and the tram crash.

Car and tram crash? Not sure how you could put them in your history without interacting with the characters, but as far as I know, those events happened. RE4 and down happened, I think, but you cant interact with the characters at all. You cant even reference them in passing. Although things like Leon's report on the Spain incident, I think are ok. Better ask Merios, he'll know.

Like seeing the semi-trailer crash into the car and the tram go past crashing into a wall, as a nightmare, cause my character would only be 2 at the time being carried by his father.

Ah. Then that might be ok. We'll have to see how it comes out in your history.

Basically, the events of the games happened up to the point of Resident Evil 4.. But there are some exceptions.
Raccoon was never bombed. The original outbreak lasted from 1998 to 2009. In 2009, it died out and the gap between 2009 - 2012 was a process of cleanup. 2012 came and that was the year that it was declared the planet was virus-free. A terrorist strike happened, infecting the world once more with the virus from a decade back.
The thing is, we don't include small stuff like that from the games. Truthfully, even we don't know if that stuff happened or not. It's better to stay original and be general about those things- no need to go into detail about what happened during the games and where your character was. Most people don't even go into detail what happened to them specifically.

Ah okay, so they can still be survivors of Raccoon city, and is the father allowed to be a B.S.A.A. agent? (He's deceased) and the son, 17, has managed to hack into the B.S.A.A. and recover data files and archives found, collected, obtained and created during the biohazards? Like the files in Resident Evil found, and a report of each incident like the Kennedy report, it's not needed actually, but I thought it would be nice for him to have some background information on what is happening and how to combat it.
