After stumbling her way through multiple corridors in the dark, seemingly abandoned hospital she had woken up in, Rain finally came across another soul. "Oliveira...? That you, man?"

Things had gone so bad so quickly on this mission that even a seasoned soldier like Carlos was a little bit in shock. His platoon was given such limited information going in, and granted he'd forced the issue by jumping out of a helicopter before they'd reached their ordered drop-off location, but... Geezus, this was bad. Training for the U.B.C.S. was pretty standard military training, with a side order of here's how to handle panicked civilians affected by various biological agents. "Agents." Carlos wished he'd gotten a lot more clarification for that term, because he never in a million years expected it to be crazed, virally-infected human beings.

His experiences dealing with guerilla warfare in Brazil in his youth had conditioned him to some extent on how to deal with full-on combat breaking out in the middle of civilian streets, but... this... This was something entirely different. No matter how radicalized people became, they still had instincts, senses of self-preservation, or some kind of morals or stakes that could be appealed to to some degree to get them to stand down. These people... it was like they had rabies or something that affected their brain function. They just kept coming, regardless of the imminent danger to their lives. Regardless of being told to stay where you are or I'll shoot.

Yuri had fallen first. Bitten by one of those things, and then... well, he became as crazed as they were. It was some kind of transmittable biological agent, Carlos had determined, though he didn't know how to protect against it. It seemed to be a lot like rabies in that the sufferers would eventually become uncontrollably aggressive and seek to bite others to transmit the pathogen.

The rabies virus, Carlos knew, had mechanisms to make its host more aggressive in the final stages, when the host was dying, so that the virus would be passed on through bites and other contact with blood or saliva and not die with the host. Maybe... this was something similar? He could only speculate, because his employers were mum about the details, especially after he'd reported Yuri's demise. As soon as he began radioing back that any of his group was infected... Umbrella went radio silent on them. That was when Carlos knew he really had a serious problem on his hands.

Nikolai had been the next to die, taken down by dogs infected by whatever this was that was killing people. Apparently it wasn't limited to human hosts, but also affected dogs, cats, birds... you name it. Carlos had done his best to try and protect him but... it was too late. Now he found himself trying to track some kind of supply drop he'd seen be delivered by helicopter after his last radio. He wasn't entirely sure it was to do with his platoon, but it was something, some form of communication from Umbrella, and so he felt compelled to check it out.

He'd zeroed in on the Racoon City General Hospital, but as soon as he entered the place, he knew something was very wrong. It was empty. And silent. During a crisis? During a life-and-death biohazard situation in which people were being bitten, scratched, torn apart, and literally eaten alive... the hospital was... empty? That made no sense to him. Cautiously, he held his semi-automatic rifle at the ready as he moved methodically through the building, looking for whatever had dropped from that helicopter. He'd found nothing thus far, until he turned a corner and-

"Ocampo?" Carlos said, immediately lowering his rifle upon seeing his friend and Umbrella comrade. He was glad to see a familiar face, but even so, his brow furrowed. "They didn't tell us they were deploying Sanitation as well," he mused, before looking her over, taking a couple steps towards her. "Are you alright? What happened to you?" She really didn't look good, if he was being honest. Then again, nobody was looking great right now, given the situation here.

He tossed his rifle behind him to his right side, leaving it hanging by its strap as he took out a semi-automatic pistol. "Here," he said, offering it to her along with a couple of magazines. "The situation's gone to hell in the city. My platoon was overrun within minutes. I'm all that's left. Umbrella's not responding to my evac calls. We're gonna have to fight our way out."

Available RP Verses

{out of smokes} Below the cut are all the possible verses for Carlos. None of these are super rigid, they’re just meant to give people an idea of the points at which they can be rped, and to help me with tag organization.

{ we’re expendable assets } ᵘᵐᵇʳᵉˡˡᵃ ᵛᵉʳˢᵉ - This verse is for Carlos before the Raccoon City incident, when he’s just working for Umbrella as a paramilitary soldier. He can be deployed for any number of reasons or be sent as extra help with security to anyone Umbrella works with. How and why your muse would meet Carlos would be dependent upon who your muse is and who they might work for.

{ we’ve just been expended } ᵃᵖᵒᶜᵃˡʸᵖˢᵉ ᵛᵉʳˢᵉ - This verse covers the setting and events for Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Carlos has been deployed into Raccoon City by Umbrella and then abandoned once the infection spreads beyond control. Your muse could be deployed along with Carlos or meet up with him somewhere inside the city during the outbreak.

{ i’m not taking orders anymore } ʷᵃⁿᵈᵉʳⁱⁿᵍ ᵛᵉʳˢᵉ - This verse covers the time between RE: Apocalypse and RE: Extinction, so after Carlos escapes Raccoon City but before he joins up with Claire Redfield. It’s a pretty flexible verse because Carlos can pretty much go anywhere and be doing anything with anybody, heh. You muse can join up with him for a number of reasons, depending on who your muse is.

{ keep moving and stay alive } ᵉˣᵗⁱⁿᶜᵗⁱᵒⁿ ᵛᵉʳˢᵉ - This verse is set in Nevada during the events of RE: Extinction. Carlos is part of a survivor convoy with Claire Redfield, taking care of a group of civilians. They run a convoy of vehicles that constantly keeps on the move, making use of weapons, surveillance, and their own diligence to keep everyone alive as they search for supplies. Food and fuel are scarce, but anyone in need of help or who knows how to handle themselves against the undead is welcome to join up with the convoy.

{ deja vu anyone? } ʳᵉᵗʳⁱᵇᵘᵗⁱᵒⁿ ᵛᵉʳˢᵉ - This verse would take place in Kamchatka, Russia, in Umbrella’s underwater research and testing facility. This facility has hyper-realistic simulations of cities and towns as well as human beings, for the purpose of testing how use of their viruses as weapons would pan out. Inside this facility, clones of Carlos were made, both for use as Umbrella soldiers and as civilians in the simulated events they test there. This verse is probably only for other movie muses, but if your muse would work at or be held at this facility for some reason, they can meet a Carlos clone that way.

{ i won’t leave you in a carlos-less world } ʳᵉᵐᵃᵏᵉ ᵍᵃᵐᵉ ᵛᵉʳˢᵉ - This verse is for writing Carlos from the Resident Evil 3 remake game, so it will be skewed more towards that version of him and the events of the game rather than the movies.

{ so what’s your story? } ᶜʳᵒˢˢᵒᵛᵉʳ ᵛᵉʳˢᵉ - This verse is reserved for crossovers with muses from other fandoms, and can involve melding aspects of the muses’ two worlds or taking one of them and placing them into the other’s world. This verse can be set during one of the above verses, but may not follow the plot of the movies depending on how the different fandoms have been combined.
