This is a little thing I decided to do to see what everyones favorite Resident Evil character is, except I don't want just a simple answer type thing, I want you to place their name, and why you like them. This is so that I can kind out why people like a certain character and their reasons, I don't want stupid answers such as "because they pwn!" or "They Rox! lolmofo!" I expect as detailed answers as possible and if possible saying stuff like: "I like chris because he's able to do blah blah blah" and maybe add something like a example or something. I expect at least 1 full paragraph.
So this is how you post it.
Name: Full name last and first please and if they have one/you know it middle names. Reason: Full response at least 1 paragraph.

Okay, despite the flak I might get for picking a character from way late in the series.
Osmund Saddler
He reminds me of Christopher Lee's portrayal of Lord Summerisle in the Wicker Man back when (heh, remake? what remake you delusional person?) As a fan of spy and pulp style stuff, Saddler makes a really good antagonist with his island fortress, army and the ability to turn into a monster with more teeth than the osmond family. He stays cool under pressure, laughs off all of Leons attempts at one liners and has plans withing plans worked out for every time his subordinates fail.
But hey, who could have predicted there would be an instakill rocket launcher right there?

Ada Wong
First of all her history everything on her is "shady" her origins and when she became a spy, along with how she was able to stay calm within a zombie infested town and survive for a long time is quite amazing. Ada is skilled in acrobatics/etc along with being a good marksman. She fell down from a huge chasm and did not die strangely, I'm not sure how she did so, but I think it may be having to do with the tissue sample from William Birkin, she had the G-virus in her hands and fell down from a super long fall and lived, if you can't see the bottom/etc then it must be a LONG fall. In my opinion Ada may be some how like a Wesker... not sure probably not, but who knows. Also the fact that Ada is working for her own reasons and has gathered samples of things on her own might mean something... Maybe she is making something like Wesker? Ada is sly, smart, and witty with her words. Ada also has a awesome grapple gun! Ada has survived this long and I doubt shes dead yet, she has taken down things just as horrible as Leon's monsters/the same ones, also including the fact she did everything on her own, she didn't get help from Luis at moments/Ashley (not that useful lol). Ada is a wonderful spy and is able to confuse Wesker at times even, Ada is indeed a awesome female character like a female wesker, except smarter than him, she is able to trick him/etc and has still been undiscovered, but also you can include that she has a heart and loves Leon and is a kind woman in some sort. Ada I think has a role similar to wesker, except just shes the wesker for leon's story line, while Wesker is more of chris's story line.

Name: Joseph Frost (surprize guyz)
Yeah, I know he died so early and never had a chance to do anything, but did you read the back-story they gave him regardless? He was set up so well, it's a shame he didn't at least get RE 3 with Jill and Chicken Heart Vickers. Also, the way he died is terribly ironic and horribly depressing with his history. He was afraid of dogs from a young age because of being cornered by them for an hour during his childhood. What puts out Joe Frost? A hungry pack of Cerberus. Sad, but funny. That would have been an interesting death to see while you were playing instead of being the intro. The intro was well made though.
Another reason to like Joseph? He's got a 12 gauge, and he's got a bandanna. Seriously, what more do you want me to say? Oh, and his teammates pretty much watched him die as well. What a great group to roll with right? At least it doesn't get any worse than both of the ways Richard Aiken can go.

HUNK
I unfortunately do not know HUNK's real name. But he has been my favorite character ever since the first time that he was seen in resident evil 2. I like that he is mysterious, but seems to always be capable of surviving whatever he has to do. He isnt a Wesker, which makes his ability to survive all the more amazing, ecspecially since he went up against those like Birkin, w/o an insta kill rocket launcher. I would love to learn more about the character, but as said before, his current mysteriousness makes him pretty cool.

Good =D, HUNK is pretty cool, and mysterious even if he is mr Minigame, his history and deeds are recorded and used in RE4, Umbrella Chronicles, and RE2, so he appears in 3 games, one of them being a actual hidden chapter with a story line in Umbrella Chronicles. Yah HUNK made it alive even with odds against him and being alone and such no contact/etc =D.

His name stands for Human Unit Never Killed, and he actually does have a condition similar to Wesker. It's just not as advanced. He was one of the guys Birkin beat down in the RE 2 cutscene, but his skin cells built back up. That's what i think the lore behind the character is anyway. I may be wrong.

HUNK (Reason:He is the coolest character in the game but with the lowest role in the series.Like he was ment to kill zombies.Im into militery vs zombies kinda stuff so since he is militery...the end)
But im getting bored of him since he is like a 5 minute character in almoust all games.I realy hope they start some story with him....or a whole game with him as main char. If none of that changes soon.The next person who might be my fav char is Chris Redfield...Cuz i think he is the only normal looking person who is made for killing Zombies.

Billy Coen
He was a real cool character and had a good storyline even though he got dropped as a character in the Resident Evil series, which I hope isn't permanent. Also he has a very cool appearance with some of the facial features that is shared by Chris Redfield to show a hero type as well as taking some of the cold features from Albert Wesker to give him a shady side. This is also expanded on by givign him tattoos which would associate him with Yakuza in Japan. Plus you notice he is given a very flashy suite that would make him look like a Yakuza so they added to the character visually. Plus from the way in which he is also a complex character and the ambiguety of his crimes, there is just a lot more to 2nd Lt. Billy Coen than meets the eye and I hope he can be brought back.

Character: Rebecca Chambers Reason: Well I've always favored innocence in a hero. And she is probably the most "innocent" of any of the protagonists thus far. She's caring and focuses on others first. She's one of the truly brave characters in the series. Characters like Chris, Barry, and Jill have been trained to deal with fear. Rebecca, she was sent into a nightmare on her first mission and hardly faltered. Focusing on others before herself even during the most insane situations.
She not only survives but supports others throughout 36 hours of dangers no one had ever seen before. One could make the case that she's the main protagonist of the first chapter of the Biohazard saga. She's probably the only S.T.A.R.S. member aside from Wesker that understood what exactly was going on. Not just that a virus was making people die and become zombies, but to understand how it actually worked. This being the case, at the time of the S.T.A.R.S. assassinations she was probably top of their list. Which makes me fear for her even more.
There's SO much I could say, but seeing as I know I'm just rambling now I'll end with what intrigues me the most. While many would just say that her report that can be found in Bio:2 is just to hint at Bio:0, it has other implications. While the other S.T.A.R.S. members were called raving lunatics and were discharged from duty, Rebecca stayed on. Was it because she was able to keep her cool? Or was it because they wanted to keep a close eye on her. While the others could only ramble on about "monsters", Rebecca could explain the virus, how it worked, and actually appear to be sane while doing so.
There's a lot more to Chambers then most people credit her for.
Number two is Richard Aiken. Great guy all around.
Anyway my number two used to be Leon S. Kennedy. However when Bio:4 was released I was immediately turned off from his character. Heck, I preferred "Gainden" Leon over Bio:4's Leon. He lost his idealism that made him unique to the franchise. Though, after Degeneration I'm starting to accept him for who he has become.

I'd Say Rebecca too, and mostly everything that undr said about her I'd say as well. Except that to add, I don't think she kept quiet, I think she went along with what Jill and Chris and Barry said about the mansion as well, but she filed the report on Billy because she had made that promise to him at the end of RE0 by saying "Officially, Billy Coen is dead."
Now what else is there about Rebecca, now I think there has to be something said about someone who just went through a Hellish nightmare in RE0, then goes and sleeps in a mansion that is infested with horrors just like those in the facility she just left like 8 hours before, this girl's got a lot of spunk don't you think? Now as for her falling to pieces when she is found crying over Richard, you have to look at it more from the perspective that she's the only one on her team to survive and it's her first mission, that kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth and she probably feels like s*** for not thinking and letting Richard get killed.
I think Rebecca is severly under played in this series and they need more innocent types like her in this series (we've got Claire and Sherry but we don't know what's happened to Sherry in those 10 or so years she's been holed up with Wesker) and also, I don't think any of the other characters have as sexy an alternate outfit as rebecca ;D
