History Characters / ResidentEvilSTARS

* ColorCodedCharacters: Although it varies in shade, Chris is invariably dressed in some form of hunter green through every game.

** One of the Easter eggs early in ''5'' indicates that he disapproves of heartless capitalism (feeling that often times, people lose when someone else wins). Sadly, this is never referenced again. His dislike of corporatism makes a lot of sense, considering he's devoted his life to fighting the products of various morally bankrupt biotech corporations.

* MsFanservice: She has long been a major source of eye candy with her many, [[UnlimitedWardrobe many]] unlockable outfits throughout the series being {{Stripperific}} attire. Her default wear in ''Nemesis'' shows off her legs and chest, and so does her skintight battle suit in ''5''. The camera in ''REmake'', 3 (2020), and ''Revelations'' also tends to focus on her behind.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Despite his last name being of Scottish origin, Richard had a tan skin complexion and a Mexican accent in the first game. Averted in the remake, where his looks are definitively Caucasian.

** She's fine with stealing and pointing Barry's magnum at him when he attempts to hold her up in the remake of Resident Evil, slapping Carlos to shock him out of a HeroicBSOD in ''3'' and initially treating him with hostility and disrespect once she finds out he's under Umbrella's payroll in the remake of ''3'', and shoving Chris when he initially refuses to pursue Wesker out of fear for her safety. During the latter scene, her practicality contrasts with Chris' idealism.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: More due to the [[BadBadActing hilariously lifeless line-readings]] of his actor in the original, but after he flatly tells Jill that ''"This house is dangerous... terrible demons…."'', he reacts to the blood spurting from the giant snake-bite on his shoulder with a soft little ''"ouch"'' that sounds less painful than if he had just stepped barefoot on a piece of lego.

* AdaptationalJerkass: She takes a more abrasive attitude towards the surviving U.B.C.S. in ''3''[='s=] remake, owing to her false belief that the entire team is just as guilty of bioterrorism as their Umbrella employers. Jill flat out says that she holds no sympathy for the plight of the mercenaries and is only willing to cooperate with them due to the civilian survivors under their watch. She even responds to Carlos and Mikhail's cordial gestures with snide, judgmental contempt. She does mellow over time as she gets to know them better and even apologizes for her earlier behavior. Still, this is quite the change from her original portrayal where she, in spite of her skepticism, still treated the mercs with compassion, open-mindedness, and respect right off the bat, and showed no further hostility beyond throwing Carlos the accusatory finger on their initial encounter. Also, for a woman who crumbled into a traumatized wreck after being freed of Wesker's control in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', ''Remake'' Continuity Jill has an astoundingly hypocritical lack of compassion towards people who are also driven mad by grief and guilt, as shown when she despicably spits "deal with it" at Dylan Blake, the villain of ''Anime/ResidentEvilDeathIsland'', a soldier driven mad when Umbrella forced him to euthanize his infected best friend during the Raccoon City Tragedy.

* {{Hypocrite}}: ''Remake'' Continuity Jill actually had the '''gall''' to sneer "deal with it" at Dylan Blake, the TragicVillain of ''Anime/ResidentEvilDeathIsland'', a soldier who was driven mad with grief after Umbrella ordered him to euthanize his T-Virus infected best friend. Made all the more egregious when she is ''also'' a traumatized solider crippled by the guilt of being Wesker's lapdog, after Chris frees her of his mind-control-device in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: In the first game, she was the only female member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team. In Chris's story, she's part of TwoGirlsToATeam with Rebecca Chambers, the only girl (and survivor) of the doomed Bravo team.

** She makes a return in Mercenaries Reunion in ''5'' where she wields a powerful MP5 and Striker shotgun to kill Majini. Her flame spray melee makes her even more effective. It has an insane range that instantly kills most Majini standing in the general vicinity. Though she loses said melee in ''Mercenaries 3D'', she can gain skills to increase her critical hit rate, giving her head cracker melee a 100% chance of activating. The result is the sweet and innocent Rebecca Chambers rapidly exploding enemies' heads by bashing the back of them with her knee.

* {{Hypocrite}}: ''Remake'' Continuity Jill actually had the '''gall''' to sneer "deal with it'' at Dylan Blake, the TragicVillain of ''Anime/ResidentEvilDeathIsland'', a soldier driven mad with grief after Umbrella ordered him to euthanize his T-Virus infected best friend; when ''she'' crumbled into a traumatized, guilt-crippled wreck after Chris frees her of Wesker's control-device in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''

Also, for a woman who crumbled into a sobbing guilt ridden wreck after being freed of Wesker's control in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilFive'', ''Remake'' Continuity Jill has an astoundingly hypocritical lack of compassion towards people who are also driven mad by grief and guilt, as shown when she despicably spits "deal with it" at Dylan Blake, the villain of ''Anime/ResidentEvilDeathIsland'', a soldier driven mad when Umbrella forced him to euthanize his infected best friend during the Raccoon City Tragedy.

* KingMook: His zombified form in ''2'' can take more hits than a regular zombie, especially considering how early in the game you encounter him. He's a lot tougher than even Zombie Forest in the first game's remake.

* ApologeticAttacker: He apologizes to Marvin with the last bit of his free will before attacking him.

* OneManArmy: The man has survived the Arklay Mansion incident while separated from Jill and Barry shooting zombies and other bio weapons by himself, he’s ventured to Rockfort Island and later Antarctica to find his sister with guns blazing.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: More due to the [[BadBadActing hilariously lifeless line-readings]] of his actor in the original, but after he flatly tells Jill that ''"This house is dangerous... terrible demons in this here"'', he reacts to the blood spurting from the giant snake-bite on his shoulder with a soft little ''"ouch"'' that sounds less painful than if he had just stepped barefoot on a piece of lego.

* MrFanservice: Chris' Warrior costume in ''5'' certainly shows a lot of skin, not to mention the GameMod for the PC that makes him completely shirtless, he has a pretty skimpy looking sailor outfit as an unlockable costume in Revelations, and his samurai outfit in ''6'' leaves him relatively uncovered as well. Since he muscled up in ''5'', Chris has gotten an absurdly large gay fan following, to the point where one could be forgiven for wondering if "{{bara}}" was a motivating factor behind his character design. This carried into ''Village'', which after using a different design in ''7'', returns to his muscular physique. The game itself doesn't have him show any skin, but he does wear a skintight black shirt that shows off his muscle-bound physique and plenty of shirtless mods show off that this old soldier looks just as good as ever.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: He's ''ripped'' from ''5'' onwards, and it shows: he can send {{mook}}s flying with one punch, and bodily lift and throw them with ease. ''7'' switches to a new photorealistic art style, and he ends up going back to a leaner body style, although considering he's wearing a BDU that covers his whole body it's hard to tell if he's still as muscular as he was. Judging by how he can punch Molded so hard that they die, it's safe to say he might still be muscle-bound under all that clothing. His appearance in Village shows after he takes off his coat that he is indeed still ripped.

* WhenHeSmiles: As the games progress, the stress and pressure of his bioterrorism war wears him down. By the time of ''Village', he's at his most dour, to the point where he's nearly a straight-up PerpetualFrowner. The one time he smiles is when [[spoiler:Ethan declares his intent to kill Mother Miranda after Chris tells him that he really didn't kill Mia]]. It's quite nice to see him smile, and it's the first time in a long time that he looked genuinely animated and happy.

* SuperPersistentPredator: As a stalker in "One Dangerous Zombie", he's even more dangerous than the Crimson Heads with his invincibility and sprinting pace.
