__________________
|Basic Information\
-------------------

- Occupation: Police Officer, Raccoon City Police Department (R.P.D.)

- Vitality: 2300 points

- Viral Infection Rate: 1.19% per minute, 84 minutes to 100%

- Personal Item: 45 Auto
A more powerful weapon than the usual handgun, but ammo for this weapon is
scarce. Kevin's custom weapon gives him the advantage in boss fights, so
reserve its usage until encountering a worthwhile foe.

- Extra Item: 45 Auto Magazine
An extra clip of ammunition for Kevin's personal 45 Auto. Hold the L1 button
to quickly reload the 45 Auto. The magazine can be refilled by combining it
with 45 Auto Rounds.

- Bio: Officer Ryman works for the Raccoon City Police Department. He
possesses superior athletic abilities and is an outstanding shot. A all
around good guy, he's a dyed-in-the-wool optimist who doesn't dwell on petty
matters. His happy go lucky personality sometimes works against him. He has
failed the S.T.A.R.S. selection process twice.

- Characteristics: Kevin is the fastest of all the characters, which is
useful for hurrying through scenarios in the fastest possible time. His
powerful custom 45 Auto and unique unarmed attacks make him an excellent
character choice for beginning players and action oriented players alike.

________________
|Special Actions\
-----------------

- Kick
Hold the R1 button and press Cancel to execute a swift kick. Use it to knock
enemies backward just as they are about to attack. When used properly, it
creates enough room to aim a firearm or prepare a knife attack. The kick can
also be used to kick down locked doors and open locked wall panels.

- Critical Shot
Hold the R1 button for a long moment while equipped with a Handgun or the 45
Auto. Soon, Kevin will readjust his aim. If you wait to fire until after
Kevin has readjusted, his aim is better and the resulting shot causes more
damage to an enemy. This is not effective for rifles.

- Elbow Tackle
Hold the R1 button and press Circle when no weapon is equipped. Kevin lunges
further and knocks down enemies more easily with this move than other player
characters can accomplish with standard Tackle attacks.

==================
|| Mark Wilkins ||
==================

__________________
|Basic Information\
-------------------

- Occupation: Security Guard

- Vitality: 3000 points

- Viral Infection Rate: 1.31% per minute, 76 minutes to 100%

- Personal Item: Costume Handgun
Mark's personal automatic is similar to the other handguns found commonly
throughout the game. Although Mark's Custom Handgun inflicts slightly less
damage per attack, the barrel has been modified to inflict more damage at
longer range.

- Extra Item: Handgun Magazine
An extra clip for Mark's Handgun, this clip enables faster reloading. Hold
the L1 button to quickly reload Mark's Handgun. The Handgun Magazine can be
refilled by combining it with Handgun Rounds.

- Bio: Currently working for a security company in Raccoon City, Mark is a
Vietnam veteran. Approximately 50 years old, his robust strength has not
diminished. He has tasted the emptiness of war and now, more than anything,
he just wants to live in peace.

- Characteristics: Mark, who possesses the highest vitality points, is the
strongest character in the game. On his own, he can move heavy objects that
normally require two players to move. Due to his size he is the second
slowest player character in the game, and he cannot hide inside lockers or
closets.

________________
|Special Actions\
-----------------

- Guard
Hold the R1 button and press Cancel to guard against enemy attacks. Mark can
fend off common attacks from most frequently encountered foes. However, his
virus meter still increases due to the contact. Strong attacks from unique
boss enemies may still cause damage to Mark even while he is guarding.

- Full Swing
Hold the R1 button while equipped with a melee weapon that swings, such as an
Iron Pipe, Long Pole, or a Crutch. Continue holding the R1 button until Mark
raises the melee weapon higher than usual. This indicates tat Mark is ready
to perform a "full swing", causing more damage than the normal melee weapon
attack.

|| Jim Chapman ||
=================

__________________
|Basic Information\
-------------------

- Occupation: Subway Transit System Employee

- Vitality: 1800 points

- Viral Infection Rate: 1.43% per minute, 70 minutes to 100%

- Personal Item: Coin
While hanging around a location that is free of enemies, select Jim's coin
and use it. Jim produces his coin and flips it into the air. The result is
displayed on screen. Each time the coin comes up "Heads", Jim's rate of
critical hits increases 10%. Therefore, if you flip the coin three times in a
row and achieve "Heads" each time, Jim's critical hit rate rises by 30%!
However, if the coin comes up "Tails", the bonus is reset to 0%. Used wisely,
the Coin can turn Jim into a real killing machine!

- Extra Item: Lucky Coin
When Jim or any character possesses this item, the chance of critical hit
occurrence rises 5%, the durability of melee weapons becomes stronger, and
Handguns and Shotguns cannot be broken by a Hunter's attack. AIPC Jim rarely
agrees to trade this item for anything, and players controlling Jim should
hold onto the Lucky Coin rather than drop it in favor of other items.

- Bio: An agent with the Raccoon City subway, Jim is friendly and cheerful
but sometimes reveals a hesitant side. Although he means well, he talks too
much and sometimes bothers people around him. To his credit, he has strong
powers of intuition and is skillful at solving puzzles.

- Characteristics: Jim is an average person in a very unique situation.
Guided by fear and cowardice, his greatest skill is his ability to avoid
attacks by pretending to be dead. Although playing as Jim takes some getting
used to, a keen player soon realizes that the subway worker presents great
advantages as a character choice.

________________
|Special Actions\
-----------------

- Playing Dead
Hold the R1 button, the press and hold the X button. This causes Jim to fall
to the ground and remain motionless. Enemies will ignore him while he is
playing dead, so it is useful when surrounded. However, don't overuse this
skill, as the virus gauge increases more rapidly while he plays dead. By the
way, if an enemy lands on top of Jim or punched Jim on the ground, Jim can
still get hurt so be careful!

- Swing Combo
Hold the R1 button and press Circle to swing a melee weapon such as an Iron
Pipe, Long Pole or Crutch. Press Circle again the moment Jim finishes his
first swing to immediately perform another. This special action leaves Jim
breathless for a moment, so use it with caution.

- Item Search
Even when Jim enters a room for the first time, the positions of the items in
the room are indicated on the map by a question mark. The type of item is not
specified, however, until the item is examined. This unique feature enables
Jim to find items faster than other characters, especially hidden or unseen
items.

4. Boss strategies for Jim

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

_______________________
Wild Things Scenario   \
-------------------------

*Stalker as the boss:
- Every time he growls that means he is going to jump at you! What you do is
simple just play dead until he leave you alone. After you are away from him
just loaded some shotguns ammo to his side of the body.
- DO NOT get close to him because he can turn around fast and slam you!

*Titan as the boss:
- Go back to the entrance you came from but do not go to the other area. This
place is the safest place in the game. The elephant cannot get you here
unless he uses his nose to reach you. Every time he does that just play dead
until he stops. You are like in a small cage and he can't get you, which
makes it easier even in VH games! All you do is just shoot him and play dead
everytime he tries to attack you.

_______________________
Underbelly Scenario    \
-------------------------

*Giga Bite boss:
- Not much to do here since Jim can avoid every attack that the insect boss
has. Every time you see bunch of insects rolling like a tire all you have
to do is just play dead to avoid it and get back up and continue attacking
the boss. Beware you still can get hurt while playing dead!

_______________________
Flashback Scenario     \
-------------------------

*The Axeman:
- Jim ability to play dead is very useful against this boss. He is not
really the "main" boss in Flashback scenario. But if you see him coming at
you, all you have to do is play dead until he goes away or if he starts
chasing your friends.

*Huge Plant:
- Jim is not very good against this plant unless if you are Samuel. Why
Samuel? Because Samuel got higher damage ratio than any other Jim types. You
can play dead if you see the plants above your head try to grab you and choke
you. Try to get at least 2 HEADS and grab an axe.

_________________________
Desperate Times Scenario \
---------------------------

* Mob of Zombies:
- Jim is not good against this many zombies. I recommend you to use Samuel
because he is stronger and better with guns. If there are more than 3 zombies
coming at you, try to do the "worm" by playing dead. You can lead them to the
gas tank and blow them off. You should choose your partners carefully.

_________________________
End of The Road Scenario \
---------------------------

* Mr. X first form:
- There is not much you can do with him. All you do is just play dead if he
comes near you. He is almost like Thantos from File 1 except he is much
smarter, stronger and faster.

* Mr. X second form:
- This one is much harder to fight against even if you are Mr. Green or
Samuel. I recommend you to just ignore him and play dead until he ignores
you. Do that if you don't have the remote control. Remote control can only
use once so don't forget that and play dead if he did his 1 hit move!

* Nyx:
- You don't have to fight him unless the helicopter leaves you behind. You
better wish that you have some magnums or other powerful weapons. You also
need to have at least 1 rocket launcher too. Take the beast down to his knee
by the rocket launcher. Try not to miss or you are in big trouble. If you
missed, just check the van near the monster and you can find an extra rocket
launcher. Let's think you didn't miss. After the beast is on his knee this is
your chance to attack him. Wait until the core on his chest open up. If it
didn't open up and he stand up you better have some "extra" weapons that can
take him down. After his core opens up, attack it with all your weapons that
you have. Good Luck!

8. Frequently Asked Question

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Q) What does it mean when you said bad partners and good partners for Jim?
A) This is a new thing in Outbreak File 2. Jim doesn't like Kevin or Yoko. So
if you choose Kevin and Yoko as your partner in offline mode, it will be a
harder game because they won't help you or listen to you. On the other hand,
Mark and George always listen to Jim and protect him, thus making the game
much easier.

Q) So, in File 1 can Jim have his lucky coin?
A) NOPE

Q) What is the strongest NPCs that have Jim's type?
A) That would be Samuel

Q) Can Jim easily avoid the land mines in End Of The Road scenario?
A) Kind of. If you do it correctly, then it should be easy.

Q) What kind of AIs partners should Jim have in offline mode?
A) To be unstoppable that would be Mr. Gold and The Axeman Costume

Q) Is it true that Jim's voice has changed?
A) Yes

Q) Is it true Jim can get hurt even when he is playing dead?
A) Yes, so becareful!
