Chreon ending up with a massive wedding because neither of them can keep their mouths shut about how excited they are, and then the other people are excited for them and they're like fuck, well, we have to now. It was supposed to be just Claire, Jill, and Sherry (maybe Jake if she brings him). Then Chris told Rebecca and her new boyfriend. Leon ended up needing to call Hunnigan, and he told her. Then Chris' squad finds out, and they're all so happy for him he can't not invite them to the wedding. They both start yapping about being engaged at a big gov org gala, and before they know it, the day at the courthouse turns into them having to plan a massive event. The BSAA and DSO have never had to communicate more than they do coordinating the time off for people to make the trip. We get to the point where even Sheva is coming to Chris' wedding. They both feel a little stupid and planning the damn thing is a little bit of a nightmare, and its expensive as all hell, but it ends up the best day of their lives. (The hound wolf squad makes more noise than anyone when they kiss at the alter, literally howling and cheering)
Niche HC i have is that Leon actually really likes Miami, he wants to go back so bad when he isn’t being sent out on missions and i imagine when that time comes, its a family trip.
Been in my Jake/Sherry feels the last couple of weeks, and I realized they fit into one of my absolute favorite weird tropes which is Talkative Introvert and Quite/Anxious Extrovert.
Like Jake hates most people. He would much rather spend the night alone than in a crowd, but he doesn't shut up because as long as he keeps talking, nobody else has room to question anything about him. The more he talks, the more people feel they know him, the less they pry. He says so many words without really saying anything just to keep people away from what's going on inside.
Sherry, on the other hand, loves people. She longs for human connection and seeks out people to connect to all of the time. But after a sheltered childhood between her scientist parents and the life we can assume she lived after Raccoon City, she is constantly worried about her social skills. So, while she isn't overly talkative, every word she says is well thought out and meant to connect. She gives a piece of herself with every interaction she has and is only made stronger by the people around her.

Jake groaned as he woke up, he was thrown for a moment as he wasn’t aching and cold. He’d been on the dirt ground, covered in blood, and shivering, and now he was curled up underneath a soft comforter in a warm, dark room. He sighed in relief as he realised he was home asleep, it was still a little disorientating when he was reminded that this place had become his home. It was strange how in a few months Sherry’s apartment had become theirs’. He yawned and as he realised how quiet it was, he didn’t hear his partner’s soft snoring. He turned around to see an empty space, wrinkled sheets, and an old stuffed yellow dog Sherry called Pompom edges in between the screwed up blankets.
Jake sat up suddenly, anxiety filling his body. He threw the quilt off of his legs and stood up. He shivered a little as his bare torso got used to the temperature change from beneath the cosy bedding, his long thin, jagged scars under his nipples were red against his skin and he wore only a pair of grey shorts covered in a Batman symbol based pattern. He stretched, and when he left the dark room he didn’t bump into anything any more. He slipped out of the bedroom door, and immediately knew where Sherry was. He heard the whirring of the treadmill, he headed towards the spare bedroom. It was one Jake was supposed to be sleeping in when Sherry offered for him to stay when he first came back to the US with them… He’d slept in that bed on the first night and never again.
He stood in the doorway and watched Sherry running with headphones in, they wore one of Jake’s black t-shirts which drowned them and a pair of starry pyjama shorts. When Sherry caught Jake out of the corner of their eye, they jumped but managed to keep their cool and slowed down rather than stumbling. They took their headphones out and stopped the treadmill, taking a large gulp of water.
“Sorry! Did I wake you?” Sherry gasped, sounding far more anxious than they intended.
“No, but… why’re you training at this time?” Jake asked, stifling a yawn.
“I- erm- I couldn’t sleep.”
“Yeah, I worked that out.”
“I thought maybe working off some energy would help,” Sherry admitted awkwardly, Jake noticed that they didn’t blush when seeing him half naked any more, it was nice.
“Is it?” He asked, perching on the unused bed.
“No.”
“Huh. Yeah. Makes sense since-”
“Intense exercise before sleep causes the brain to become more active where as basic, relaxed aerobics and yoga calm it down and prepare it for sleep,” Sherry interrupted with a sigh. “I know.” They sat next to him and fell back with their legs hanging off the end. Jake shuffled and laid next to them, perched up on their elbow.
“So, wanna talk what’s keeping you up?”
“It’s… I don’t know. It’s stupid.”
“Anything to do with the date?” When Jake asked, Sherry did a double take, their eyes widened with surprise.
“You noticed?”
“‘Course I did, babe.” Jake gaze a lazy smile, one that relaxed Sherry just slightly.
“Yeah. Yeah, it’s because- because of the whole anniversary thing,” they paused and swallowed. “Fifteen years to the day tomorrow.”
“Ouch. Yeah. No wonder you can’t… yeah.”
“It’s- normally it’s fine. I mean, not fine but the nightmares have petered out, mostly. I mean, only so many times you can see your dad turning into limbs and a giant eyeball before you get desensitised, you know? But…” Sherry yawned and shuffled onto their side so both their’s and Jake’s fronts were facing each other. “The orphanage. That’s a new one.”
“The orphanage?” Jake didn’t bother to hide his confusion, that was something Sherry liked about him - how blunt he was around them. “What’s the deal with the Orphanage?”
“Erm. It was owned by Umbrella and there was experiments on kids done there.” They didn’t look at Jake as they answered, looking uncomfortable as they didn’t want to mention the part their dad had in that.
“Were you…”
“Oh, absolutely not, no. But- I erm-” They paused and exhaled. “The chief of the RPD, Chief Irons, he infected with the G-virus and tried to blackmail the antidote from my mom by kidnapping me. I mean, Claire saved me, so it was fine in the end. But having that creepy, serial killer and sex predator leering at me and chasing me down as I tried to hide from him was… Wow, yeah. I mean. I just keep having dreams where I’m stuck in a maze and this huge sweaty beast is hunting me down.”
“Holy fuck,” Jake said quietly. Sherry gave a small, humourless laugh, shrugging awkwardly in a position that it felt odd to.
“I know, it’s not worth-”
“No, that’s not what I meant at all,” he interrupted. “Babe, that sounds really fucking traumatic. Seriously, no wonder you can’t sleep.”
“Really?” Sherry sounded stunned and confused, something Jake struggled to understand.
“Yeah. I mean, getting chased and captured by a pedophile-”
“I mean, he might have been- mostly I think it was necrophilia and bestiality.”
“Yeah, I don’t think pedophilia is beneath a guy like that,” Jake teased, a soft, small smile showing his good intentions.
“Okay that’s a fair point,” Sherry admitted a little embarrassed. They quickly elaborated, and spoke a little too fast. “He didn’t touch me though. I mean, he hurt me and imprisoned me but just physically not sexually.”
“It’s still definitely nightmare fuel, babe.” Jake turned onto his back and raised his arm out, smiling sleepily as Sherry shuffled over and rested their head on his chest.
“Maybe. I dunno,” they yawned. Jake smiled as he saw Sherry suddenly feel their body be overwhelmed by exhaustion, finally seeing them relax after getting the weight off their chest made him feel just as tired.

“Can I play ___?”
The following criteria is a good baseline for if a character could be playable. However, meeting all of this criteria or not meeting some of this criteria does not automatically accept/reject a character:
> Is the character playable in a canon game? (This does not include Mercenaries/Raid Mode characters.) If yes, then this character is suitable for proper roleplay.
> Is this character a main antagonist? (i.e. they have a boss fight)
> Do we see this character physically in game?
> Does this character have a first & last name?
> Does this character die quickly in their first game?
