"MISTER BUBBLES! THEY'RE TYING TO GET ME!"


Name: Poppy Hartwell

Age: 5 (And a half?)

Gender: Female

Bio: Poppy Hartwell was born to a family of seven siblings, herself the youngest. Her biological father, Jon Hartwell, was a simple worker in Pauper's Drop. Her mother, Lucy, a waitress in the Fishbowl Diner. They owned a small room in The Sinclair Deluxe, in which the family found themselves quite cramped...Poppy only knew her family for a few short years as she grew up among the cigarette smoke, drunken yells and overall nastiness of the slums of Rapture. Her older brothers were smugglers, her older sisters were drug addicts, and her parents were losing hope on the Hartwell Family ever seeing sunlight again. They slowly started looking towards ADAM splicing in their moment of need, harnessing used syringes and falling quite ill from them. There was no amount of plasmids in the entirety of Rapture, however, that could quench their long streak of bravery and their will to spit in the eye of death itself - something that was inevitably passed down through the generations to little Poppy, too.

When the Little Sister's Orphanage was opened, her parents chose to give away their youngest in the hopes that she will have a better and brighter future than her older brothers and sisters. It was the best they could do for the little girl, but fate intervened and the horrible process of mental conditioning started immediately.

After a year's worth of constant torture and mental programming, Poppy was a Little Sister like any other. She saw Rapture in this "fever dream" vision and she dutifully extracted ADAM-rich splicer blood from the corpses of splicers, drank it, and regurgitated the ADAM like any other Little Sister was bound to do. But she differed, ever-so-slightly, from the rest. She had an odd personality, some kind of curiosity and spark that made her special.

She was not personally part of the quantum physical experimentation programme to make "tears", but the Orphanage was mighty close to the lab holding the victims, and every so often she had to deliver ADAM from her stomach to the scientists working there...and she had seen the horror through the misty "fever dream", and she knows of the pain and suffering and fear that breaks through her conditioning to show the 'real' Rapture.

She's seen the nightmares, but her ADAM addiction has to be removed prior to being able to help. Inevitably, she will run into the Knights of Songbird, who will hopefully be able to cure her of her ailment...and Poppy will find a new "Daddy" to follow.

"Good girls gather, gather, gather..."

Vigors/Plasmids: None.
Weapons: ADAM Syringe, Box cutter, and anything else she can get her hands on.
Faction: Soon-to-be Knight, right now considered "Neutral"

Other: The supposed "immunity" of a Little Sister (and, consequently, of Poppy) will be removed when someone cures Poppy. From there on it's up to others on whether or not they should give her vigours, plasmids or new weapons. Her attraction to Big Daddies will switch to a general admiration of the Knights, replacing them with the Big Daddies programming in her head.


There we go! I had a quick chat with the Lamb to see if a Little Sister role was alright, and there's what I came up with. Coincidentally, I'm going to need someone who step up to the mark at some point and 'cure' Poppy. Any takers?

I couldn't help but 'aww' at your character Stitches. Although my character isn't in Rapture yet, I would gladly volunteer to help out Poppy when the Knights arrive.

If Poppy wasn't "aww" worthy that I would have to completely re-do the CS. You must adore her unconditionally because the moment that sea-slug is out of her belly, she's going to be nigh-useless. I'm hoping it'll all play out and she'll get some strength, though!

She wouldn't be useless, if anything she would be a great asset to the team. It would take some work to help her learn, but I'm pretty sure Dan could do it. I'm hoping she'll get stronger as well, seeing as she will be able to help them in Rapture, and get into fight spaces; though Dan would be reluctant to let her.

Ooooh, no, don't feel threatened! I hope I'm not munching on your RP idea; I do believe James hasn't got any mental conditioning? There's massive differences between us both.

The urge to make a rapture post has to be held back by the fact Rapture still stands as a good city, not a massive broken glass sieve letting in all the water. Time for some playtime with Mr Bubbles. And I might bump into James.

I'm really impressed with the posts so far, but there is a question nagging at me from the back of my skull.

Lamb, how are we going to get to, and from Columbia and Rapture? Technology is different on both ends and all, I'm just curious.
If it's a plot spoiler, you don't have to tell me.
