Leon Kennedy - In Resident Evil 2, Leon is an R.P.D rookie cop on his first day. While having the desire to protect and to serve, he sometimes can be quit reckless. His life as a cadet was an eye-opening experience. Leon arrives in Raccoon City for his first mission which could be his last. He has no idea what he is getting himself into!
	Claire Redfield - Claire is the younger sister of Chris Redfield. She is a light-hearted, articulate modern woman. While she can be shy at times, underneath that is a wild side. She has a lot of self confidence which will help her with her upcoming challenges. Claire is usually the first person to try something others would not.
	Ben Bertolucci - Ben is a reporter for the local Raccoon City newspaper who came acrosss more information than he was supposed to know. You first see Ben locked up in a jail cell below the R.P.D. Building. He can be very hard to reason with since he refuses to leave the cell in fear that his life may be in danger. Later on in the game something mysterious kills him while in the cell! He sould of listened to you and left that damn cell when he had the chance!
	Chief Brian Irons - A very sick, demented man! Chief Irons is a major player in the entire Umbrella scheme. You don't want to cross his path since he can be easily enraged. Something grabs him from out of a sewer towards the end of the game and kills him. I guess he got what was coming to him!
	Annette Birkin - Annette is married to William Birkin and also the mother to Sherry. She is very protective of her husband's work on the G-Virus. In fear of all the hell breaking loose throughout the city, she sends her daughter Sherry to the police department and tells her to stay there! Not much of a safer place if you ask me! Annette is very paranoid since she believes that everyone is agaisnt her and her husband William. She fears that everyone is out to steal the G-Virus and will do anything to stop them!
	Sherry Birkin - The daughter of William & Annette Birkin. She is a lonely, insecure 12-year old, yet very mature for her age. She does not have a lot of self-confidence and feels she is always lost. Sherry does not have a good home life since her parents are so wrapped up in their work at Umbrella Corp.
	William Birkin - William is one of the lead scientists and researchers for Umbrella and the sole creator of the G-Virus, which is a modified version of the T-Virus. Heinjects himself with the virus when Umbrella agents raid his laboratory to take the virus from him. Therefore, he mutates into a Tyrant-like creature and kills the umbrella agents and creates chaos throughout the city!
	Ada Wong - This is the lady Leon meets at the beginning of the game. She is a very talented, professional investigator, but is quite secretive about what she is really after. As you play the game you will find that Ada is searching for something other than her lost boyfriend. She pulls a gun on Leon before she falls to her death.
	Hunk - Hunk is one of the 4 agents sent by Umbrella to take the G-Virus away from William Birkin. Birkin kills 3 of the agents, but Hunk amazingly escapes with the G-Virus sample. He is a playable character in the extra game, which you will be able to play if you beat each mission 3 times with an A or B ranking.
	Marvin Branagh - Marvin is the cop you meet in the R.P.D building. He is laying in one of the rooms in a bloddy mess after being attacked by zombies. He gives you a blue Key Card which will give you access to the hall computer and then locks the door behind you. Later on when you have to reenter the room, he is now a zombie and you will have to kill him. Poor Marvin!
	Robert Kendo - Kendo is the gun-shop owner you meet at the beginning of the game. When you enter the shop, he pulls a gun on you thinking that you are a zombie! Before its too late, you reason with him and try to figure out what is going on. As both of you are talking, the window breaks and he is attacked by a group of zombies. You fight the zombies off of him, but it is too late. On a bright note, you get a bow-gun that he was carrying!

Weapons:

	Knife - The combat knife is basicly useless throughout the game. It only comes in use if you are completely out of ammo. Not too many people will use the knife through the game unless they want to die quickly.
	H & K Handgun - The Heckler and Koch Handgun is Leon's Handgun that you start out with at the beginning of the game. Ammo is in plentiful, but it soon becomes ineffective in the later stages. It has the ability to hold 18 rounds at a time.
	H & K Handgun Modified - This is the modified verson of the H & K Handgun. This upgrade will give the gun the ability of rapid fire!
	Browning - The Browning is Claire's Handgun that you start out with at the beginning of the game. Again, the ammo is plentiful, but soon becomes ineffective in the later stages of the game. It is able to hold 13 rounds at a time.
	Remington M1100 - The Shotgun is very powerful and can kill Zombies at short range. A pretty good amount of ammo is available and is a good weapon to go against stonger enemies. It is capable of holding 5 shells at a time.
	Remington M1100 Modified - This is the modified verson of the Remington M1100. This makes the gun a hell of a lot more powerful and is now capable of holding 7 shells instead of just 5.
	Bow Gun - The Bow Gun is inaccurate and only useful against weaker enemies such as Zombies. Ammo isn't too hard to find, but the Bow Gun fires 3 bows at a time which therefore can run your supply out quickly. Only use this gun if you have nothing else to work with.
	Magnum Desert Eagle - The Desert Eagle is undoubtedly one of the best weaponry in the game. It can kill most enemies in one shot, however, ammo is very hard to come by. It is very powerful which comes in use with more powerful enemies.
	Desert Eagle Modified - This is the upgrade to the Desert Eagle Magnum. This will make it even more powerful and is able to kill multiple enemies with one shot!
	Grenade Launcher - The Grenade Launcher is even more powerful than the Desert Eagle. It is good from long-range and is perfect against stronger enemies. It can hold 3 different types of ammo and an unlimited amount of any round such as Flame, Acid and Grenade.
	Flamethrower - The Flamethrower is only useful against plant based enemies. It is used to clear a blocked passage by setting fire to a plant. The ammo is calculated in % and uses up 2 blocks of inventory. Another bad thing is that the ammo runs out very quickly.
	Sub-Machine Gun - The Sub-Machine Gun is useful when you have a low supply of ammo. It has a similar effect to the handgun, but bullets are fired much faster making it harder for enemies to get near you. The ammo is calculated in % and uses up 2 blocks of space as with the flamethrower. A second clip of ammo is available in the second scenario.
	Spark Shot - The Spark Shot is used to control animals. It can attack multiple enemies at a time, but has very little effect against even Zombies. The ammo is calculated in % and runs out very quickly. It also uses up 2 blocks of space so if you don't have the room, leave the weapon behind!
	Rocket Launcher - The Rocket Launcher is the biggest, most powerful weapon you can find in any Resident Evil game. Just about anything can be destroyed that crosses your path with just one rocket! It's only weakness is slow aiming and firing times so be careful with quicker enemies.
