Ideas for dad Wesker and Zeno after the events of RE5

Someone on Twitter suggested they go eat ice cream so I added that to my doodle page

Spencer's TRUE vision...

[hxh1x]

I love it 🤭 This is so creative because the fandom already sees him like a stray cat after elpis that we're trying to guess who should adopt him in AU where he survives 🐈❤

Another scenario I thought of with Dad Wesker

I was bored so i made this u're welcome

Brave New Wesker-ian World

I'm working on a video about RE9, but I just want to ramble a bit here.

There's a reference to Huxley's "Brave New World" in RE: Requiem and it hasn't left my mind since.

Having just read the novel, the reference is very fitting considering Zeno wants to create "a new world" and the society/world shown in the book is a utopia where everyone is "happy" and human race is kept alive and going thanks to the process of cloning(!)

Even saying that "everyone is happy" in Huxley's novel is probably a bit of a stretch, considering the society is divided into casts and no one is truly lucky or happy without using a special drug - Soma.

I don't know whether I can explain it well, but my point is, Soma is supposed to be artificial happiness, in a way - people take Soma whenever they feel even a bit worried or lonely. People are even (kinda) forced to take it, so their moods and feelings aren't truly natural - humanity has lost the ability to be alone, form independent thoughts and form long-term bonds, because of the drug and the brainwashing they have to go through as children.

so yeah great plan temu wesker (can we get a new antagonist at this point?)

Last thing I wanted to mention is the fact that the title "Brave New World" is dropped in the book -

The line is from Shakspeare's "Tempest" but it still appears in the book and it's said by, the one and only, Miranda.

Of course the last point might have been an accident and the Brave New World line was supposed to reference the theme of cloning, but it's interesting nevertheless

(I'm more active on YouTube)

Yes the novel was already discussed in the fandom as Wesker coded, now with Miranda and Zeno references the novel title....

Then i think it's clear that capcom is going with brave new world novel concept to explore the W project 🤔 especially Wesker said a line in RE4R "the weak serves the strong" which is very similar to novel where they rank people from A to Z, the lower rank people serves the higher ranks...

So what if Alex/Albert were the highest ranks in the project while Zeno was at the bottom but he fought his way to the top? That's why his name starts with Z? Tho this may require a retcon since they said all Wesker kids died but they already retconned Spencer i wouldn't be surprised they retcon things while exploring the W project.

Gloveless Zeno

Requested by anonymous.

[nereeitor]

This one is for anon and all my Zeno enjoyers.

[saucyy-salamander]

Imagining Wesker being a cold but surprisingly good dad to Zeno rn

[melancholila]

one chance Zeno pls just one ahhgnh

Gotta love how Wesker’s genes are doing the viltrumite thing of dominating every baby that comes from him.

Zeno and Jake have his hairline, nose, natural eye color, ears….

Albert has gotta be proud that even in death he’s making babies that take entirely after his superior genes.

Zeno - No Gloves.

This is my latest (and 6th!!!) RE9 mod. This was the most work and effort put into making a RE9 mod so far. It started as a simple idea and I ended up editing hand meshes and textures to reflect my vision of what his hands would look like.

I made 6 options ! There are 2 main versions really, the bare hands and the infected hands. The bare hands have a signet ring variation (my personal favorite) and then a mix and match combo of the options.

If you can't tell, I really like this character and I could go on about the vision and concept but won't bore you with the details. I went further than expected but I think it's my best work so far !

Zeno without gloves mod looks amazing 😍

Grace the Password Manager

Inspired by that one Craig Burnatowski/Zeno's VA interview, where he's shown that one meme of Zeno asking for the password to his email :'D

This is hilarious 😅 poor zeno always forgets his password 🥺

[requiemss]

“temu wesker” you guys weren’t paying attention and it’s gonna drive me crazy!!! dig in a little!!

i don’t think zeno is a clone at all, but let’s get into it. zeno, in a game full of clones that look identical, is noticeably different from wesker. his manner of dress is different. where wesker was tactical, practical, zeno dresses for flair. expensive tastes. they have similar features, but they are not identical. different hairlines, different noses, etc. where wesker would have just beaten grace into submission, zeno genuinely makes an attempt to persuade her to join him.

capcom’s efforts to differentiate him were clearly intentional. his va talks about being directed to be more gentle with grace. the player is reminded of wesker, but the more you learn about him, the more clear it becomes that this is a different man. and it isn’t in the oh he’s just incompetent and couldn’t do it like wesker could do it way. the game makes a point to show you how easily zeno brutally murders an entire squad of BSAA agents. his powers aren’t the issue. his ambition was the issue, and his ambition stems from some effort to imitate wesker. but the whole idea is that he is surrounded by clones that were all failures. these clones mutate, become violent, but to start, they all look the same. what is really interesting about this is that the game makes it super obvious with every other clone, even going so far as to dress them all exactly the same. they don’t give zeno the same treatment.

all i’m saying is they gave wesker a secret son once. they can do it again. there are layers to this critter and i will die on this hill. the only disappointing thing about zeno is that capcom killed him and we don’t get to learn more about him.

[hxh1x]

Agree I'm not totally buying he's a clone because the game is full of red herrings like they made us believe Grace is a clone the whole game only to reveal she is not, so what if Zeno isn't a clone either but they only made him THINK he is! Maybe because he's raised between the clones...there are many possibilities i made my own bingo card on him 👀

He could be another biological Wesker son maybe raised/trained by Wesker himself and the result is Zeno being an evil arrogant nepo baby, and he's only imitating his dad because he sees him as a hero, would be cute he's wearing his late father's coat 💔

I'm also considering Zeno being Jake's clone because Zeno's model looks less like Wesker but very similar to Jake's model in general with long thin face/lean athletic body...logically it makes sense the Connections would clone Jake to find a perfect host of Wesker's power after his death, maybe one of Jake's clones doesn't have antibody and can carry the viruses power, and Zeno is aging fast due to the clones aging process like Eveline.

or he could be Jake's twin brother, and that Wesker only had sex because he wanted to have a healthy natural born child to make him a test subject in the W project, Jake was born in 1992 when the project was still active so it makes sense, maybe Mrs. Muller was smart enough to know his plan so she only managed to hide Jake (like lying and tell him that Jake died as a baby) so Wesker only took Zeno, this doesn't change the canon as Wesker didn't know about Jake's existence, so him thinking Jake died as a baby isn't a retcon. Mrs. Muller tricking Albert about this is also not far fetched because he must've picked a very smart woman to carry his child, since genetics is so important for his plan.

Zeno may have some wrinkles on his face that makes him seem older than Jake despite being his twin brother in theory, maybe because of all the shit he went through as a test subject in the W project 💔

Anyway maybe Capcom is just having the freedom to troll us with this Jake/Zeno twist because we don't know how Jake looks like in the RE engine....yet 👀

The reason I'm considering the twins concept because capcom wanted to add the idea since RE4 prototype but it went to Devil may cry with Dante/Vergil. So who knows maybe they do it now with Zeno being Jake's twin or Albert's twin brother with inferory complex because Albert was always better than him.

Another possibility Zeno is Alex Wesker son, that would explain his fashion style being closer to Alex with the white suit and his mannerisms being softer than Albert.

The post would be very long if i talk about other theories but I'll mention my favorite theory, that Zeno might be really the last child in the W project, Zeno mentioned "Brave new world"

Which is a famous novel and very Wesker coded that was already discussed in the RE fandom for many years, about ranking eugenic children/people from A to Z, now Wesker in RE4R also said a line "The weak serves the strong" and that's exactly like in the novel, the people in the low ranks serves the people in the higher ranks...

Now since Wesker/Zeno referenced the novel...then maybe capcom is going with this idea to explore the W project, like if Albert/Alex were the highest ranks, then what if Zeno was a failed child at the bottom of the project? That's why his name starts with Z not A but he fought his way to the top to be like Albert? (Ik this requires a retcon since they said all Wesker kids died except Alex/Albert but they already retconned many things even Spencer is being retconned)...

Maybe Zeno was at the bottom for being the most human who couldn't hurt a fly while Albert was on top because he was the least human due to all the brainwashing...like the theme of "Alpha and Omega" but once they transferred Albert's memory into Zeno he started to lose his humanity and become more like Albert, because Albert's memory is so traumatizing it can turn anyone into a monster, which can be interesting like they can use Albert's memory as a weapon to manipulate people.

There's also the yin & yang themes with Albert/Zeno, where they paradox each other...

Plus Zeno name in mythology means "gift of Zeus" or "belonging to Zeus", so maybe it hints that Albert (due to his god complex) is the one who created & named Zeno? Idk so many possibilities, it could be a mix of several ideas like he could be Wesker's biological son or Jake's twin brother that he named him Zeno as a gift to the W project, but Zeno was ranked at the bottom because he was too human and that was disappointing for Wesker.

If Wesker compares himself to Zeus then it means he actually wants to see his kids to grow stronger like Zeus treated his children, giving power for his kids to protect themselves, and from Wester' POV he would want to include his kid in the W project because he wants his kid to be more like him, so the idea of Zeno being a failure son would add such an interesting perspective for Wesker's story, maybe capcom can't do this idea with Jake because he's too cool to be a failure son and it would require a huge retcon, so they made Zeno instead.

Sooo that's it for now, which theory is your favorite? :)

Albert - Zeno (part 2)

Zeno's smoking habit irritates Albert. He doesn't indulge in addictions like ordinary people. He's above alcohol and cigarettes. So why does his clone, created in his image, smoke like a chimney? Stress? The desire to maintain the "cool boss" image, which also irritates Albert, but not as much?

[hxh1x]

This is similar to my headcanon that Albert hates it when Zeno smokes, and Zeno cannot help it he's so addicted to smoking but he hides his cigarette or throws it away when he sees Albert is coming 🚬🙀 it's so cute.
