Who would be the first to die from the four main characters?

Jill, Chris, Leon, and Claire.

I think either Leon or Claire would probably be one of the first ones to die. Claire has only been in 2 games (main storyline) , RE2 and CVX.

Everybody else has atleast 3. I don't know about the next game in the franchise, but I still think one of them is going to die soon. Can't shake the feeling

Chris as is he has been in just about enough games, he is my favourite RE character but u need to know when to call it a day.

It'd be between Chris, Leon, or Jill. Their careers could put them at death before Claire since she doesn't get herself into action. But even then...

They already killed Jill off once. It would be repetitive if they did that again, even if it was for realsies.

I would say Claire. Knowing the company, they wouldn't kill off any of their money cows so Claire is the most likely option.

same here, but if they kill him it should be brutal and epic.

Chris is my favorite too, but I would also say that he would be next on the list to go. My reasoning for choosing Chris has to do with the fact that he is a 40 year old man. By the time Resident Evil 7 is produced he would be in his mid 40's, maybe even closer to his 50's depending on when they finally got around to finishing it.

I love the fact that RE has an accurate timeline, but it's also pretty depressing...looking back to RE 1 when all these guys (and gals) were in their young twenties...It's like we grew up with them...It's just really sad. I have so many feels right now. I don't want to see them go.

As much as I like the guy, I'd say Chris should die out of the four of them, making the ultimate sacrifice to assure that his teammates make it out alive. Leon should make it through everything, but not without suffering a great injury that forces him to retire(Like being paralyzed from the waist down). Not sure what should happen to Jill or Chris.

Capcom dropped the ball by letting out RE5's angle with Jill before release, IMO. It would have been more impactful and unexpected if the whole thing had been kept quiet for gamers to discover themselves.

Same here. They have a bad habit of spoiling their games by releasing just about everything online before the actual game hits stores. Even if you only watched the trailers you'd get some major spoilers.

^ This is the very reason why I don't watch trailers or videos before a game/movie releases. If it's something I'm invested in storyline-wise, I watch the announcment teaser then I go into lockdown until it's out. There are pre-release spoilers everywhere these days.

On-topic, if we're going by in-universe criteria, probably Claire as I'd imagine her combat skills are fairly rusty these days.

If it's who SHOULD die, I agree it needs to be Chris. He's had the most character development (hah, if you can call it that) out of the whole cast, and thematically I think he's gone as far as he can. I actually think they missed a great opportunity by not doing it in RE6. It would have added some much-needed emotional weight to the story.

Well the first RE6 trailer made RE6 look good. But Capcom doesn't know how to advertise without spoiling too much. The second trailer was trash. Haha. Trailer trash. At any rate, 100% of the 2nd trailer was all cutscenes. It was lame and they kept doing that with every trailer afterward. They don't know how to market their games anymore.

I also thought any trailer after the first wasn't very good. It gets really irritating when trailers spoil things. Not sure if it spoiled Carla or not, but even if it didn't, it was all over the net.

Chris did say he wanted to retire....

RE 7 could have alternate endings; anyone could die, IFF you so choose. Therefore, RE 7=ending.

That's why he acceted the mission at the end of Resident Evil 6.

It didn't. It actually did make it seem like she was Ada. Buuuut the whole Carla thing got somehow leaked to the internet anyway so it was pretty much pointless.

Yep. And Capcom pretends not to notice.

Chris (dies protecting Claire).

If Claire's going to get into any trouble at this point, it'll probably be her getting cuffs slapped on her wrists along with the rest of her picket warrior friends. Not something Chris can likely do anything about.

No one has to die, Chris can retire and do the paper working or some training in BSAA and making minor appearances in further games, when Jill can merry him, so that he finally looses his virginity, guess leon can also switch to be an advisor with minor appearances, im guessing Clair will take the main part in the game, but i still think that the whole thing in re 7 will develop around Chris and Jake, guess Chris will become father Jake never had and you know what to make more sense guess it would be kinda cool if Chris dies saving Jake, that will make sure that Jake will stay with good guys for good and continue what Chris was doing, but again that dying, i really dont want Chris to die . . .

I think it will be Chris as well out of that list. It could be him trying to save Claire.
A bio-terrorist group could kidnap Claire knowing it would get to Chris. The BSAA go in on a rescue and it's all a trap.. Everyone dies but Jill.. Right before Chris dies he tells her to save Claire, yada yada yada. Which would lead into a campaign for Jill and one for Claire.

Sorry I got off topic a little there... But yea, Chris.

NO 

It could easily be seen how Claire could be killed. She is out of the scene at the moment and I am sure every bio-terrorist group knows the name Redfield by this point. This leads me to believe Chris is the main target for these groups shutting down so many major operations. This also puts Claire in a dangerous position. As she would be a highly saught after target to manipulate Chris, who is highly respected in the BSAA.

Jill would be behind these two as she works in the BSAA and would be put in many dangerous situations involving people who would specifically want her and all other BSAA members dead.

Then there is Leon. Leon is easily the least likely to die. He works for the U.S government and should not be involved in any bio-warfare unless it effects the U.S. or an ally. Then again, he could "go rogue" as he tends to do so often. I am curious how he still has his job after being so bad at following procedure. If Leon dies, he brings it upon himself.

The US government and military involves itself in a whole lot of situations the world at large doesn't even know about. Delta Force, DEVGRU, and the CIA specialize in it (even the Secret Service dabbles in it) and their ops are called "black" for a reason. So Leon isn't immune, trust me.
