#its almost impossible for me to ever pick One thing from any resi subject i like most unless were asking favorite character

[doomednarrative]

this might be a weird/dumb question but those are my specialty so *adjusts clip on tie* what’s your favorite re virus? in terms of what it’s done in universe, what it has the potential for, your favorite to write, etc. not a specific monster, the specific virus. hope that makes sense lol

Keep in mind I'm still playing thru all the games and reading up on virus lore when I say this, but I think it kinda has to go to either the Progenitor virus for the fact that its the literal building block of most of the viruses in universe, or to Las Plagas because of how Versatile it is.

Progenitor is cool from a lore aspect because of how the biology works and the fact that its like The reason a lot of the other virus strains even exist because its an ancient RNA thing that by the time they found it it just ended up killing humans, and so they had to learn how to adapt it in lab conditions. Its had far reaching effects over the Entire series so I think it's neat for that reason alone, a lot of stuff just wouldnt exist if that didn't come first.

Las Plagas meanwhile is definitely the one I have the most fun writing personally and not just because of my own au shit with Leon but like, the fact that theres so many Varients of it, from the Verdugo to the Regenerators and the Novistadors and all that. Its just neat from a design perspective (and sad because of how fuckin cruel they are) how many different versions of this One parasite exist and how it can affect different things.

I'm also really partial to the idea of stuff that can just like. Lay dormant in your system and basically make you a walking time bomb for the horror factor of it all so t-Phobos is pretty interesting for that reason too tbh.

I know thats like three different answers but I'm incapable of chosing just one tbh they all have a lot of possibilities and room to be creative with both in canon and fan works so I like a lot of them for vastly different reasons~
