rules & regulations
TY / 25+ / HE / HIM / GMT
this is a private and selective blog for chris redfield from the resident evil series. canon compliant with a few minor exceptions, based on the source material including: stage plays; manga; cgi movies; some aspects from the novels ( sd perry and the kaitai shinsho ). the only remake i consider canon for my portrayal is biohazard ( 2002 ), and unless asked interactions will assume the original timeline not the “re-imaginings”. 01 this is a blog that focuses on paranovella writing, analysis and lengthy headcanons. please be aware that i rarely ever use readmores for long posts - this is a roleplay blog after all, and i like to write a lot. this is an extremely low activity blog and i likely will only be writing with people i am already writing with. 02 resident evil is a horror series involving eugenics, experimentation, parasites, gore, death, kidnapping and the like. triggers will be tagged as “tw gore” for example. with chris there will be themes of ptsd, substance abuse, depression, suicidal tendencies, military propaganda, survivor’s guilt amongst others. that being said, if you want a tag to block let me know and i will make one for you. 03 i use minor formatting and occasionally use icons, but you don’t have to match me. i would ask if we’re writing together you keep extensive formatting ( multiple fonts, multiple colours, tiny tiny text ) to a minimum as it’s very hard to read. apologies but i will not write with people who post replies as images! 04 i will not jump right into shipping with anyone other than established writing partners. if you’re looking for a chris to ship chreon, chrisker or nivanfield with, this blog is not for you! 05 i have written chris since 2013, and many of my headcanons are pre-existing and reworked / reposted from my archived blogs. if they happen to be similar to another chris’, please do not accuse me of stealing ( i was probably here first! ). that being said, i have no issues with duplicates. i love chris and i’m glad others do too. 06 i do not consider any remakes canon other than biohazard ( 2002 ). whilst it likely won't come up outside of specific circumstances, chris' knowledge is that of the original ( the kennedy report would not have luis surviving for so long, for example ). if in doubt, ask me! 07 i generally write chris as being tolerant of leon, but not really friends - the events in china ( & his refusal to work with claire re: the chip ) have left chris with a deeply unfavourable impression. i am totally open to and encourage conflict in threads! chris is a good guy, but he’s not perfect. 08 psd used is green ivy bypilipalea. screencaps are my own. icon psd is my own.

personality & more
chris plays the role of a very typical all-american hero, but after a lifetime of playing that role - a role he never chose - it has taken it's toll on him. he has lost many whom he has considered family, been forced to fight those he loves, has fractured and burnt bridges and failed to save those who he was supposed to protect. each death weighs heavy on his mind, often falling into periods of reckless and self-destructive behaviour, but despite all this chris remains kind and loving, a golden heart beneath walls of muscle. he acts first and thinks later, believes in the good of people no matter how bitter he feels or how often he's had his heart taken advantage of.chris redfield. action hero / big brother instinct / big good / color-coded character / determinator / doom magnet / a father to his men / the hero / hidden depths / how the might have fallen / knight in sour armour / love hurts / married to the job / old soldier / shell-shocked veteran / sole survivor.
details
chris is innoculated against the t-virus, c-virus, a-virus, t-abyss virus and the mold.as of 2021, he is still working for the bsaa, but has effectively gone rogue with the hound wolf squad - for my portrayal, nadia and dc of the silver dagger team also are a part of hound wolf squad.he posses a natural immunity to airborne infections and the ccr5-delta32 gene.following the events of village, chris has legal guardianship over rosemary winters - assumed pre-dlc and sort-of confirmed by the dlc but for now how much involvement he had or if it’s only on paperwork can be discussed with any rose writers. he does not / will not take her from her mother.
