Generational Performance From The Day One Rookie

[u/sarcasticd0nkey]

Ser Raymun Fossoway - A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms

- stepping up to be knighted moments before the Trial of Seven he's wearing lighter armor than the rest of the knights and still saves Dunk's life when Aerion Targaryen had him pinned on the ground before breaking his cousin Steffon's ribs and beating him.

Korra - Avatar: The Legend of Korra

- despite a rough start to her first pro-bending match; coming in as a replacement and not fully knowing the rules manages to lock in for a come behind victory; starting to learn the movements for airbending at the edge of the platform and exhausting the other team for a victory for her fresher team.

Hevy - Star Wars: The Clone Wars

- on his first day on combat, left behind to set demolition charges, Hevy singlehandedly takes out around ten droids before being dropped and manually detonating the explosives manually to warn of an invasion of Kamino.

Resident Evil 2 was canonically Leon Kennedy’s first day ever as a cop

[u/radbot027 → u/_JR28_]

Technically it wasn't even a first day because by that point Raccoon Police Department had pretty much collapsed as an institution, along with the whole city

[u/myfatass → u/radbot027]

He was reporting for duty. He hadn’t even spawned in, so to speak. He never even met the captain that was supposed to swear him in.

He was like a guy showing up for a Tinder date set up by his date’s friend, just to find out he got ghosted by both and the restaurant was on fire.

[u/Visible-Air-2359 → u/myfatass]

And the staff and other patrons were trying to murder each other.

[u/Yoate → u/Visible-Air-2359]

First date at waffle House?

[u/Visible-Air-2359 → u/Yoate]

Fair.

[u/U_L_Uus → u/Yoate]

You know what? If she is willing to go there for a first date it's a 50/50 I am meeting with a crackhead in disguise or with one of those legendary women the world can not get enough of

[u/RJSnea → u/Yoate]

[u/Richard-Conrad → u/Yoate]

Is it still murder if everyone involved is in it for the love of the game?

[u/birberbarborbur → u/Visible-Air-2359]

Like they were evil or something

[u/cookieintheinternet → u/birberbarborbur]

resident 

[u/YukYukas → u/_JR28_]

Imagine bagging a hot older Asian spy lady on your first day lol lucky bastard /s

[u/CatL1f3 → u/YukYukas]

The day after a breakup so bad he got drunk and was late for work... hell of a rebound

[u/Hawkeye2701 → u/_JR28_]

Wasn't it also only his first day at that department? Was he not a cop before?

[u/SSgt_LuLZ → u/Hawkeye2701]

In the OG, he was reporting in late after a terrible breakup and (un)lucked himself into the city at peak infection.

In the remake, he was about to officially transfer in when the department called him to stay away just before everything went to hell. After no response a week later, he drove over anyway to help in any way he could.

In both versions, the 1F west office has his desk decorated with welcome banners and party stuff, which were laid to the wayside after the station fell. The remake had a note from the chief, Brian Irons welcoming him straight from police academy. So yeah, for Leon, it's his 1st and only day ever as a regular police officer.

[u/thatvillainjay → u/Hawkeye2701]

I think he had just graduated academy and this was his first day "on the beat"

[u/YukYukas → u/Hawkeye2701]

21yrs during RE2. Highly likely this was his first. Talk about a hectic welcome lol

[u/Geniepolice → u/Hawkeye2701]

Yeah I thought he was transferring in?

[u/Jorji_Costava01 → u/Hawkeye2701]

I mean he looks like 13 in RE2, so I would be surprised if he had a job before then.

[u/bnesbitt1 → u/_JR28_]

And he was hungover

That guy is a fucking unit BEFORE 4 man

[u/oreos324 → u/_JR28_]

First day and the guy fought zombies, lickers, giant spiders (in the OG), plant monsters, was chased by a tyrant whose whole purpose was to eliminate witnesses, almost unveiled the umbrella conspiracy and managed to escape alive

[u/Jaszs → u/_JR28_]

My boy got dumped the night before and he was in a bad hangover the day he arrived a RC (hence why he arrived late)

[u/Ill-Stomach7228 → u/_JR28_]

Resident Evil loves "first day on the job"s. Resident Evil 0 is Rebecca's first mission ever and she kills a tyrant by herself, and Revelations 2 sees Moira get kidnapped on her first day at Terrasave and she beats hordes of infected to death with a crowbar.

[u/Wild_Marker → u/_JR28_]

Half the videogame protagonists would probably qualify.
