Resident Evil - The Umbrella Files [10]

Professions

When playing Resident Evil: The Umbrella Files, there are several new options for PC professions. In standard Call of Cthulhu, most characters are private persons out to uncover the truth of the dark mythos, but in Resident Evil the PCs more often than not either work for Umbrella or in another way have something to do with the corporation, as no civilians are ever allowed even near Umbrella facilities. Thus we introduce an array of new professions for use with Resident Evil: The Umbrella Files. All the previous professions are still valid, as long as they do not conflict with the game play. Needless to say that a teenage gothic may not be as easy to incorporate into a story that is located at a secret Umbrella facility, as say an industrial worker hired to build a new area along with his crew. But again, these choices should be up to the GM and the gaming group.

Umbrella U.B.C.S.

The Umbrella U.B.C.S. (Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service) is the army and security of Umbrella. Although the U.B.C.S. operatives handle delicate matters, they are rarely informed about the nature of their missions and they are considered very expendable despite their high training.
