1- Chris. Don't need to say much lol
2- Claire. I've realized she's without a doubt my second favorite character in the entire series, I LOVE RE2 and CODE Veronica, Revelations 2 became one of my top 5 games in the series in the blink of an eye... Claire is my second favorite by a long shot;
3- Albert Wesker. He's an interesting character and very important to the story overall, when there was Wesker vs Chris it was always guaranteed a good script;
4- Jill. Don't get me wrong, as a kid and considering she was the second character I've ever controlled made Jill my second favorite character... That kind of changed recently, this might upset some people but screw it, might as well be honest.
Jill is still a good character and she isn't boring like some people say but literally the only game that made her stand out to me was RE3 and that was about it, in RE1 she shares the game with Chris, in RE5 she's a secondary character (although with some great development, PJL was out of this world and her chemistry with Chris was fantastic) but then Revelations came and Jill unfortunately was one of the worst character depictions in the entire series to me, a huge let down

Also for some weird reason when discussing RE1 canon there's a few people who only consider Jill the canon scenario like Chris doesn't even exist. I've seen people saying that Chris never got into the Mansion from the front door with Wesker and Jill and that he was imprisoned until the end of the game... Like wtf? lol
Why would Wesker hold a grudge against Chris when all he did was being imprisoned? haha
"You destroyed my plans..."
- Wesker in CODE Veronica
If Chris never destroyed the Tyrant in the first place that totally makes his rivalry with Wesker nonsense... Not to mention that in Jill's scenario Wesker never gets impaled by the Tyrant and is instead slapped by it and shot by Barry and we all know that didn't happen. In my own RE1 canon I give 50 to Chris and 50 to Jill but the lab part only makes sense if you're playing as Chris or at least pretend that both characters fought the final boss for the sake of continuity.
Recently some fans of the character have become extremelly pushy, never experienced that side of them but made me grow tired of some them and truly see that Jill ain't nothing special on her own. Sorry for my straight forward opinion and change of stance towards the character, still don't think she's boring like some people claim but she definitely ain't no better than the 3 I've pointed above.
Not to mention that she can sometimes be dull "I really hope this new bio-weapon is just a rumour..." Like what? After all this time you still believe in rumours? lol
4- Leon. Leon has been growing on me over this time, he's had some interesting experiences and adventures and I like the fact he went from zero to hero (rookie cop to trained government agent) but sadly Leon is in a situation where all they do is keep him in the same way instead of providing actual development that carries his character forward.
I hope this doesn't offend anyone, just something I've been wanting to get off my chest ever since the Remake 3 rumours. I'd say 80% of Jill fans became toxic for no reason whatsoever... Quite sad actually.
