Up above the clouds dwells a floating city known as Columbia. Life is peaceful, the citizens going about their daily lives as they have for years. Many citizens follow blindly in the word of the prophet and founder of Columbia, Zachary Comstock. A few have grown wiser, have learned not to trust everything that the "prophet" says. The police station does little in the way of helping the everyday citizens of Columbia, only taking care of matters that would make the "perfect society" seem the opposite. There are people who have adapted to this truth, and they have vowed to protect their own. These people have started a group, a society that specializes in matters that are best kept out of Comstock's view. They call themselves the Knights of Songbird...



Far below Columbia, hidden deep in the Atlantic Ocean lies another city. Rapture. It is a bustling underwater utopia, the people are happy and spoiled. But with the recent discovery of a substance called ADAM, things are looking down in parts of the city. ADAM has been used to create plasmids, and now some people have become addicted to splicing, and so are referred to as Splicers. This is not the worst of the evil in Rapture... to get ADAM, it must be harvested from young girls. But the process renders them into walking zombies, known as Little Sisters. Orphanages have been created as a front for ADAM factories.

The scientists who have been working on the Little Sisters caught wind of an experiment performed by Columbia's own genius, Rosalind Lutece. The experiment involved one child and used quantum physics to allow the child to seemingly open multidimensional "tears", windows to parrallel realities. The success of the Lutece experiment sparked curiosity into Rapture's scientists, and they have now began experimenting on the Little Sisters, as well as any unfortunate civilian they can manage to lure in. The experimentation is practically torture, the victims trapped in a prison. This experiment has been taking place for months, and has managed to stay under the radar from the rest of Rapture as they continue to splice and go about life. But one victim sees an opportunity... and they take it. One experimentee has escaped, and they are in search of help...
Some knowledge of the Bioshock series will be required for this roleplay, if you have not played the first game or Infinite, I suggest going to the wikia for Bioshock and checking out the timeline/history for Rapture and Columbia.

This roleplay will take place in both Columbia and Rapture. Most of the characters will be part of the Knights of Songbird society, but there can be exceptions. The escaped victim is an open part, and if you wish to roleplay as them, just let me know. First come, first served. I am fairly flexible on characters, so if you have a plan for how to bring your character into the story if it be different from being in the society or what not, just let me know and the worst I can do is say no, haha.

SPECIAL NOTE:
The role of the imprisoned victim is still up for grabs and must be filled before IC will start. Any newcomers who view this thread, I ask that you consider the part. If it does not suit you, very well. I will take on this role if there is not an application for it by Halloween (10/31).


Rules
1. No God Modding.
2. Be respectful.
3. Be patient, not everyone is going to be able to post 20 times a day.
4. Please try to post AT LEAST one paragraph per post (4-6 sentences).
5. 2 character limit unless otherwise approved.
6. I can change/add rules at any time.

Just one bit of clarification, what is the current state of Rapture? Pre-fall? Post-fall? What have I got to work with?

This is something that can be adjusted in the future, but in the past when I did this roleplay we decided to go pre-fall (right at the start of the civil war). So if you wish to keep the Big Sister character, then you can claim her to be the first big sister experiment done by the scientists and factor her in that way.

I have an idea. A Left over from the early Gatherer experiments, before they cottoned onto using little girls, that has been adapted into a Protector. How's that sound?

I saw the Int Chk and I wasn't planning on joining RPs, but I wasn't planning on finding a Bioshock one either! Bioshock is my jam, man!
I'm interested in being a part of this if you'll have me. I'd love to fit in a Little Sister somewhere in the Rapture portion of the setting.

Well you've come to the right place! Of course we will have you, so welcome! :D And if you want to be a little sister that is completely fine with me, the only discretion I feel I should mention however is that it could take several days of real time to get the roleplay from Columbia to Rapture. So, you can either make two characters or if you feel like waiting us out then you are more than welcome to do that as well! If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

I was thinking about two characters. It's been a long time since I took on more than one, that's my only concern. I don't think it would be a problem for me except for thinking up a good character for Columbia. I have time to think about my options though.

I'm not sure about this idea but I thought about having a Little Sister that had the willpower and conscience of a rescued/cured Little Sister but still maintains the hunger and dependence of Adam, perhaps one of the early subjects to Tenenbaum's Rescue Little Sister plasmid. Kind of how Eleanor had side effects of her Little Sister days. The plasmid would have reversed the conditioning but left the slug intact.

That is a very interesting take on the Little Sister, I'm all for it! Perhaps when the Knights make it to Columbia their paths cross somehow and she sees them as guardians, except there will be an issue with her BD running around close by. Either way, you have my approval and support for the character :) I look forward to seeing the CS.

I do have one question. Is the "genetic prison" Persephone, or a third-party type noncanon facility?

Whipped up something though. Gonna touch it up later. It's bed time. Let me know if there's anything that contradicts the plot

Name: Charlotte Alice Foster

Age: 12

Gender: Female


As a result of the Sea Slug, Charlotte's eyes still possess the glow

Bio: Charlotte was born into a wealthy family, part of Rapture’s prestige society. She was given everything a little girl could ever want and lived a rich childhood. However, behind the glitz and glam of her upper-class lifestyle was a foundation of shady deals and questionable morals.

Her mother ran a respectable and highly successful clothing line and though that help contribute to their wealth and credibility, it was her father who racked up the big bucks. Her father worked underground, running a successful smuggling ring under the radar. He often worked alongside Frank Fontaine, having once worked under him, and was able to work his operations without Andrew Ryan’s knowledge. When Fontaine needed a job done without sparing his own men, Foster was called upon. His main source of income, however, came from supplying the newly established Little Sister’s Orphanage with young girls.

Charlotte’s father, as successful as he was, did not come home from his job without enemies. The wealth and greed nearly consumed him, if not for his family. Despite all he’s done, Charlotte’s father was very much a family man. He cherished his wife and adored his daughter. He protected them from any rising threats as best he could. After a while, and some uncertain events, Fontaine began to see him as a liability. There was talk that he would abandon his operations in order to focus on his family. He was given two options: Continue his operations or sign his family over for “genetic studies”. Unaware of the circumstances of the “studies”, Foster reluctantly agreed to take part. As he and his wife were taken to a facility, Charlotte was torn away from her parents and dropped off at the Little Sister’s Orphanage.

After she was fully conditioned, Charlotte’s memories of her family were but a hazy dream in the back of her head. She was issued an early model of the Alpha Protectors but was later reconditioned to bond with a Bouncer model after her Protector malfunctioned and mistook her as a threat. The section of Rapture in which Charlotte gathered was exceptionally rich in ADAM abusers, causing her to harvest and consume more ADAM compared to other Little Sisters.

After months of gathering, Brigid Tenenbaum managed to sneak Charlotte, as well as a few other Little Sisters, away from their Protectors. She had had a change of heart and understood the wrongdoing of her actions. In an effort to right these wrongs, she created a unique plasmid that would undo the conditioning of Little Sisters in an attempt to return their humanity. The plasmid seemed to work on Charlotte, failing on the others, and her memories flooded back to her. Confused and scared beyond belief, Charlotte fought Tenenbaum and escaped back into the city. She found her Protector frantically banging against a ventilation shaft. The plasmid did not affect the slug implanted within her nor did it change the fact that she had bonded with her Protector. She was lost and confused, with no one to trust. But she knew two things: The angels have the ADAM and Daddy will always protect her.

Vigors/Plasmids: Telekinesis

Weapons: Modified Adam Harvesting Syringe, Revolver

Faction: Little Sister

Other: Telekinesis is very fairly weak. She did not obtain the ability through a plasmid; rather it was developed over time through copious amounts of ADAM consumption

It will be a separate facility for the sake of the roleplay, since we are doing a crossover.

Excellent CS so far! Everything looks good to me, well done.

Name: Allison
Aka: Big Sister, Subject Beta
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Bio: In her early adolescence Allison was taken from her father to settle a substantial gambling debt, Her father was a poor working man with a nowhere job in Neptune's Bounty, Rapture's fishing district. Taken by gangsters, she was eventually sold, discretely, to Fontaine Futuristics. Fontaine Futuristics, in conjunction with Dr Brigid Tenenbaum, was conducting research into Adam. Allison was bought by Fontaine Futuristics to be used as a test subject into the Gatherer Project. The implantation of the Adam Slug did not have the desired effect, despite making her genetic structure highly adaptable, as she was simply too old and, once they discovered that younger girls were far better hosts, she was discarded, a failed experiment kept under lock and key.

Until Dr Yi Suchong was brought in for the Protector Project to create guardians for the Little Sisters. During the experimental phase of Dr Suchong's work he recognised that Allison's genetic malleability would make her an excellent candidate for the Protector Project and she was fitted into a set of armour similar to that of the Big Daddies. The expense required for the operation and the fact that subjects in her state were so scarce made the "Big Sister" an unrealistic solution and so Dr Suchong decided to focus his attention elsewhere. Allison underwent a great deal of mental conditioning, erasing all of her previous memories and making her see the Little Sisters as her own younger siblings, giving her an overpowering drive to protect them all. And she was unleashed in Rapture, a unique guardian of the little Gatherers.

Vigors/Plasmids:
Incinerate - Allison is able to cast explosive fireballs from the palms of her hands
Telekinesis - Allison is able to lift objects with the power of her mind and send them flying at enemies with great force
Static Discharge - When surrounded Allison is able to unleash a blast of electrical energy from her body to shock and possibly stun her enemies.

Weapons:
- Adam Harvesting Syringe mounted on her left wrist
- Spring-loaded Harpoon mounted on her right wrist

Faction: Little Sisters

Character looks good Kyoukari, I'll add her to the list.

Hopefully we get some more people in here, I agreed to start the OOC when I had 5 people interested. Perhaps I am a bit impatient ;P Hopefully people begin to show up or we will be holding the IC until we can find at least 5 people including myself to begin the story. Sorry folks

I'm a bit anxious about this too because, well, it's Bioshock! But it wouldn't be too great without more people and all

Hey everyone!

I'm interested in joining the rp but I'm kinda stumped on a few character ideas so I thought I'd ask you guys what you think would be cooler.

Ok the following are vigor junkies because I thought that concept was so cool and I was sad it was taken out of infinite.

Fireman/devils kiss junkie- basically he would be phsychotic, battle torn fireman who would stick mostly to up close fighting. He's also quite a vigor addict.

Undertow junkie- he would kinda look like a slimy squid faced guy who would use mostly pistols and kinda dress like a pirate while in Columbia.

Possession junkie- this ones a lot simpler being that he would pretty much just look like a green ghost but cannot stay out in the open for very long and instead has to be within a possessed object such as a automaton or person.

Shock jockie junkie- basically like the original vigor junkie concept with the electric crystals sticking out of him and he primarily sticks to making traps or getting up close and using melee on his foes. He would also use his crystals to protect himself.

Bucking bronco / charge junkie- he would look like a normal man basically except he would have goat like horns and brown fur covering his skin except on his hands and face. He would charge at people and knock them up into the air and against things.

If you have any other ideas or want to use one of the ideas feel free to. Just tell me before hand.

I always loved Undertow but hardly used it my first playthrough. I think an Undertow junkie would really fit in Rapture's environment, all underwater and what not. I think Undertow and Bronco would be more unique since there aren't really any Plasmids that have the same effect.

With possession, it would be pretty neat, though it would be an issue of finding host as I'd assume you can only stay in a host for a limited amount of time. I don't know about objects, but if it were living beings I'd say the possession depends on the willpower of the host, the greater the willpower and consciousness of a host, the easier it is for them to overcome the possession. But this ability opens up the possibility of possessing Big Daddies for long periods of time.

Also, think I'm done with Charlotte XD

Thanks for the feed back and an undertow and bronco jockie sounds pretty cool! I might just go with that!
But then again you just made me realize that with the possession junkie I could posses a big daddy...

Also what do you think about a Ironsides/return to sender junkie?
