RESIDENT EVIL: The Tyrant Within

Special Features/Extras

Page 1: Original Concept Part 1- Concept

In the beginning, I wasn't even intending on making this a Resident Evil story. It was going to be loosely based off of Dean Koontz's Shadow Fires, a horror novel of Mr. Koontz's design that had a similar to design to the Resident Evil formula. However, there were no zombies (thank God) in Shadow Fires; only the main antagonist, whom I will discuss further in this page.

I first started this last year in the fall, scrapped it, and then rewrote it (which is the story you have just read). I admit that 'The Tyrant Within' was heavily influenced on the work of Dean Koontz and the Biohazard/Resident Evil games and I also have to say that combining them was not very much of an easy task. I had to read Shadow Fires for at least ten times through before I decided to use it as inspiration. A few characters were transferred; likeness, name with changes, and situations. So I guess that 'RESIDENT EVIL: The Tyrant Within' is a "Crossover" or "Alternate Universe" to 'Shadow Fires' and Resident Evil. Eric Leben from 'Shadow Fires' became Eric Nebel, the other T-002 as FanFiction.Net author Razor Osaka pointed out; and Sarah Kiel became Sarah Klein, even though in 'Shadow Fires' Sarah Kiel was a teen runaway that Eric Leben took to his liking in his sick obsession with young girls and was eventually beat by Eric after his "revival" which I took the liberty to make into the fatal turn when Eric Nebel killed Sarah Klein when he awoke from the containment capsule.

Now that a part of the back story is partly discussed, I shall continue to the short lived original concept of the story that I dubbed as an "Untitled Monster Fic" starting with character layout. Oh yeah, everything used to be in present tense.

The character Mike Arevir was a normal young man with promise of great things later on in life, he was not involved in any prior experimentation and he was not silver haired and did not have crimson eyes; just a normal high school student in a small boring town that was called Alucemet as well. He was struck down in the story by a speeding vehicle, a black truck, as he was going to an after school class. He was revived and I didn't let the story progress any further.

The character Kat was also an innocent young woman with absolutely no ties with any big corporation or anything like Umbrella Inc. In this version, she was about to be hit but Mike had dove in front of her to save her, not knowing it would be a sacrifice. I didn't want her to be seen as a weak character so I stopped progress.

The character Razor Osaka was originally named Ben, and was originally perceived as a cold and heartless bastard that wanted Mike dead so that he can be with Kat, a sort of jealousy thing. Ben was to be Kat's partner throughout the story.

The character Vash Relwof was not in the original story, as was any other characters that were in RE:TTW.
