I got a question for people here at this forum. Maybe you can help me with a problem I have been struggling with for some time now. And I could really use some opinions about it. Heres the problem. I have been working on this Horror Game for awhile now, and I am some what lost on what kind of characters to use for the heroes in my game. I really dont want to use characters that other games has used. For example Leon Scott Kennedy from Resident Evil 2 who was a rookie cop. Or Aya Brea from Parasite Eve (1st Game) who also was a cop. That is if my memory is correct. Originally I was going to have my two characters as Navy Seals. Then some one suggested to me (Make them FBI Agents), but if I remember correctly a game has already used that kind of character. I then planned to make them Swat Officers, but then I realized that they would still be cops regardless. If they were swat or just regular police officers. So now I am wondering if I shouldn't have them as law enforcement people but some thing else. But I am not sure as to what to make them. I also want to add this in to help you know what I am doing. See what it is, the city has lost communication with the outside world. And two people are sent in to investigate why the city had lost contact and who was behind it. But when they get there the city has been destroyed way beyond recognition. So the question is this. What Kind of characters do you all think I should use? Because right now I am forced to use them as Swat Officers... I am very willing to listen to any ideas and opinions. One last note, they really don't have to be with law enforcement, but I would like it if they was, because of the way i got my story line and plot going... I would appreciate any thoughts you all may have.. Thanks for your time Duncan
