Jill's Disappearance/Resi 7 Ideas

posted 11 years ago by riggaTONY

After years of being under control of Albert Wesker, Jill returned to her home in witness protection, her existence being kept under wraps by the BSAA after she was presumed dead in 2006. Yet Jill's attempt at settling into a normal life was futile; consumed by guilt of her actions and feeling completely trapped in her protection, Jill fell into a deep depression that resulted in her being submitted into a mental hospital/rehab center from 2010

Until now. In 2014, a shattered, broken-minded Jill Valentine finds that her cell is eerily quiet. She escapes her room to find there has been a zombie outbreak in the sanitarium from strains of the T and C virus, intentionally spread by someone who knew of her faked death (possibly revealed to be Nicholai or Jessica). Relying on her long-forgotten instincts of survival, Jill must use the few weapons at her disposal (a gun from the security office, etc.) to avoid infection and find a way out of the locked facility, reclaiming her identity along the way. What she finds is a conspiracy so unforgivable she will ultimately seek out vengeance in cold blood.

It might sound a little out there, and I'm sure it wouldn't fit with the direction Capcom wants to take the series, but I thought it could be a good way to explain Jill's absence from RE6 while refreshing, but not necessarily re-inventing, her character; It would also be a somewhat self-contained story with a focus on escape, and this time Jill wouldn't be as skilled as she had been in the past, giving us a vulnerable, seemingly inexperienced protagonist as well as an arc for the character (ie, from shattered to strong).

Edit: Campaign 2 Idea
While Jill navigates a dark, zombie infested asylum, the town outside of it also suffers an outbreak. Claire Redfield is working on an evacuation for survivors when she bumps into Jake Muller, who was hired by a recently-injured Chris to infiltrate the town and asylum and rescue Jill (Chris later rescues everyone via helicopter). This allows for the outside, guns-blazing cityscape of the story plus more characters and revelations. Plus, Jill was just important of an adversary to Wesker as Chris was. Since Wesker had Jill captured, it'd be fitting and ironic for his son to get her out of another captive state. And, if you think about it, it'd be fitting because Jill has T-virus antibodies in her blood, while Jake has C-virus antibodies. BOOM.

Thoughts? or any other ideas for RE7 or Jill's disappearance?

Apply for Capcom's writer career.

would like to see her back with parker...they had good chemistry.

[–] raroobfar 11 years ago

And the Files confirm the North BSAA Branch and others were all looking for Chris. Even Sheva made a cameo.

which means Jill was looking for him too ? if that's right, why Didn't the files mentioned her?
and Sheva wanted to help too but Piers responded they can handle themselves for searching Chris.

[–] riggaTONY 11 years ago

Lol right? Hence why I threw in the far-fetched idea of Jill's incarceration, keeping her out of reach of that information. She would at the very least have contacted Piers at Chris's disappearance; I mean, she jumped onto a cruise ship in Revelations to save him and he went to Africa and back just to make sure she was dead. Plus, she sort of "died" for him before that? I get that RE6 just wasn't Jill's game, but her omission from even the files gave me the sanitarium idea.

And yeah, you'd think Claire would have done the same. Of course, maybe she didn't know, though I'd find it hard to believe; if the entire BSAA was looking for him and he was reported missing, I'm sure they would notify his family...I think. I mean jeez, in 1998 Chris was out of communication for 2 months and she rode on a motorcycle to Raccoon city. Now she's like "CHRIS IS MISSING IN EUROPE? OMGYOLO!"

I guess we can imagine these happening in phone calls offscreen, hence why we can't read them. It's our only way to cope with Capcom's writing.

[–] raroobfar 11 years ago

he went to Africa and back just to make sure she was dead

by the time he went to Africa,he thought she was dead.
Not untill he received her picture on Tube,that's when he started to doubt she is dead and have to find her.

[–] freelance318 11 years ago

this is not sheva or piers business..in resident evil 5 sheva was worrying about josh..ur a side character sheva u have done ur time stop getting involved with the main characters..

[–] josemints 11 years ago

Thats Pretty good I like that Idea of Jill being in a trapped in a mental Hospital/ rehab Center. When you said relying on long forgtten instincts. you should toss in the old using of the Lockpick skill as well. Sort of a throw back to the old RE games.

Just one question would you bring any Large BOWs into the game for Jill like bring back Nemesis or MR. X?

[–] riggaTONY 11 years ago

That's a really good question. Now that you mention it, it would be cool to have a BOW sent into the institution to eliminate her for a period of the game. I was also thinking of having infected dogs and rabbits that might have been at the clinic as a sort of "petting zoo" for the patients' stress relief.

[–] freelance318 11 years ago

it would be sexy to see jill battle monsters in a small hot mini hospital gown.

[–] josemints 11 years ago

That would be awesome. Some thing that would be scary as hell to face, but not be predictable like the Ustanak. Some New kind of Giant BOW or Bring Back another Nemesis to chase her.

Your right, small infected pets would be good. Usually in facilities like this there are always rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, monkeys and things like that. Thats a good Idea.

[–] dogsoldier_spoon-1 11 years ago

Great idea! Wish this was real :(

[–] riggaTONY 11 years ago

Ditto :( Sadly, Capcom's got this obsession with "Going Global" for every RE, which in my opinion is taking away from the horror. When you can make a small-scale environment menacing, THAT is that drives the horror. They just seem to be out of location ideas so they put different characters around different areas of the globe.

[–] josemints 11 years ago

Yea this global thing has really changed RE alot. Hey dont take this the wrong way, I like your Story with Jill disappearance and i think your story would work well with the scenario I had posted for Jill on my thread. If you havent read it its under the "Resident Evil 7 Ideas".

I think they would be good combined.

[–] riggaTONY 11 years ago

Lol I don't know what the "wrong way" to interpret that would be - that's a great idea! I'm very glad you thought so! I'll go read it.

[–] josemints 11 years ago

Cool. When I read you Jill scenario. I said to myself that it would make a good prelude into my Jill scenario.

I hope you like what I Came up with.

[–] riggaTONY 11 years ago

I do like your Jill scenario! I think, however, that each would be best as their own game; maybe my idea could be a side-story like Revelations, giving Jill an entire game in the institution. And then in the NEXT game go to South America. Gives each location its own presence in the story and keeps the stories from becoming too complicated.

[–] josemints 11 years ago

Thank you. Thats what I meant to say. I agree with you on that. The institution would be the in between story of RE 5-6. mine would be the after her stint at the institution.

At least we both agree that Jill needs to come back.

[–] raroobfar 11 years ago

Jill is done as far as I'm concerned story wise.

and so is Chris,but he comes coming back because of his position at BSAA.
Jill Co-O founded BSAA too,so why only bring Chris but Not Jill ?

[–] 11 years ago

[–] sugrnspyce4 11 years ago

Because Chris IS THE MAIN HERO.

And because everytime Jill has appeared as a Playable Character in a RE game since 1 it has been a SIDE GAME.

Personally, I've always thought of the series as having two main heroes: Chris and Jill. They're the ones who've been at the forefront of S.T.A.R.S., the Umbrella conspiracy, and the BSAA, and have been there since the very beginning.

And I guess you forgot all about RE3 - lol.

I don't see the point of her character anymore. At least with Chris we finally got him in the role of Leader and how he acted and behaved after Wesker's death and meeting Leon.

Sure with Jill you could do a storyline where she is trying to deal with been back in action, works with Chris and they finally announce they're bloody in love or something but that s..t just feels to much like Chris' campaign already.

...And they couldn't do the same with Jill? If anything, delving into her post-RE5 story could be even more interesting than Chris's. Considering what Wesker did to her and what he made her do while under his control, I'd think she'd have a pretty hard time trying to re-establish herself as a highly-respected BSAA agent while dealing with the anger, shame, and guilt (and possibly even more serious mental problems due to the experimentation) stemming from that.

I think a Jill-centric story could work well, especially if they could somehow throw Claire into the mix. Both of them are due for another appearance anyway.

[–] raroobfar 11 years ago

And I guess you forgot all about RE3

RE3 is considered by Capcom as a SIDE game.
Capcom wanted to call Code Veronica as RE3 because it's the MAIN title.
but Sony relized that Capcom wanted to move into next generation console and RE3 being the last game of series in PS1. Sony wanted a number title in that side game story,that's why it's called RE3.
and the supposed RE3 as CV.

Really? That's interesting. Every RE site I've ever been on considers Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (and Resident Evil - CODE: Veronica, for that matter) a "main series" game. The ones I've usually seen considered side games/spinoffs are Chronicles, Gun Survivor, Outbreak, the handhelds, etc.

I guess I - and a lot of other people, apparently - always considered it a main game because RE3 marked the destruction of Raccoon City, which lead to the fall of Umbrella, the creation of the BSAA, and so on.

But as to Hajikm-22's comment about Jill appearing as a playable character in nothing but side games since RE1, wouldn't RE5's DLC count, RE3 aside? Both of them (Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape) are part of the story of RE5, which is a main game.

[–] raroobfar 11 years ago

just because RE3 is a side game,Doesn't mean it's Not Canon.
UC and DC are side games with some of their levels are Canon.
same thing about Revelations which Canon too.
the only games which Doesn't matter to the series at all are Survivor,Outbreak,Gaiden, and ORC games.
Jill being playable in RE5 DLC is only 1 hour comparing to Chris RE5 main game which is 4 hours.

Yup, I agree with all of that. My point was basically that although Capcom considers RE3 a side game, most fans consider it part of the main series.

Jill being playable in RE5 DLC is only 1 hour comparing to Chris RE5 main game which is 4 hours.

This is true, but how long Jill was playable wasn't the point. Hajikm-22 said "...everytime Jill has appeared as a Playable Character in a RE game since 1 it has been a SIDE GAME." RE3 aside, I mentioned the DLC missions from RE5 - a main game - in which Jill was a playable character in both. Technically, I think those count, unless you guys are thinking of the DLC as side games.

[–] raroobfar 11 years ago

you are right,both of those DLC are from main game which are from RE5.

[–] sugrnspyce4 11 years ago

The "side game" discussion aside though, I still think there's a decent amount of potential left for Jill to have a game of her own. There's also probably some potential with Claire, but they'd have to come up with something totally original for her. A biological incident involving a BSAA/TerraSave crossover, maybe?

[–] phantom_pixie 10 years ago

I think a Jill-centric story could work well, especially if they could somehow throw Claire into the mix. Both of them are due for another appearance anyway.

I agree, Jill is an important part of RE and I can only assume that Capcom is putting Chris in the lead due to the new idea of making the games more action based than horror, giving us the big bruting military guy as a protagonist.

A game with Jill would give Capcom the reason to go back to it's roots of Resident evil, (like with Revelations) and to have both Jill and Claire as playable characters would be a nice change of paste.

Also they could have a cameo of Rebecca, as a nurse at the hospital or whatever.

[–] phantom_pixie 10 years ago

I'd play that!
Please send this idea to Capcom ASAP! I'm not sure what your dayjob is, but please quit it and become a storywriter for capcom.
