We are Rapture! ( )

Postby Conquerer_Man on Wed Nov 24, 2010 5:33 pm

RAPTURE LIVES!




Image


As promised by my self to the Participants of Bioshock: Rapture Drowning, I am now creating a Bioshock Rp. While I do hope (and plan to pm) BS:RD's participants will join us, we will need new blood! That's where you fine folks come in. In addition to an already good sized cast, we will need new members to fill out other roles; which I will describe here shortly. I hope that you will all be Bioshock enthusiasts, but you need not be. Along with the immediate background knowledge needed I will be posting a link to the Bioshock wiki for all to read if they want. If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask for I am glad to help.

NOW THE PLOT!:

The year is 1975, six years after the events of Bioshock 2. The city of Rapture is in ruins beyond measure. Buildings are collapsing and what were once livable quarters are now loosing life support and succumbing to the ravages of the seas. What buildings are left are still being maintained by The Thinker and it's automatons, but slowly they too are breaking down. With Sophia Lamb gone, and her "Family" in disarray, the population of Rapture is dwindling. Splicers are too focused on fighting one another for their next shot of ADAM to have children and the non-Splicers left are too focused on surviving to bring children into their God-forsaken world. Little Sister are becoming a rarer and rarer sight while feral Big Sisters are increasing as the second generation of Little Sisters are growing older. Still bonded to their grown Little Sisters, the Big Daddies still follow their charges around Rapture; these duos forming dangerous teams.

KNOW DANGER IN ALL ITS FORMS!
Image


While it is still anarchy through out most of Rapture, there are still sectors of growth; still hands pulling the Great Chain. Ryan Industrial Park is the last bastion of normalcy and sanity. The few remaining non-Spliced individuals left in Rapture have banded together with The Thinker to save what they can of Rapture before they all drown. Devon Genetics Research Company, a former competitor of Fontaine Futuristics, is now the hive of Splicer activity. Lead by a reclusive and shadowy individual calling him self Revear, the Splicers follow him blindly for their next dose of ADAM. Both are now at opposing goals, and neither can co-exists with the other. Someone is going to go down.







NOW WHAT I WANT FROM YOU!:

Dedication is key. I can understand if you can't post for a week and I don't want daily posts (if we have many people the action can keep rolling in different areas) either, though that is nice. What I don't want for sure is you create a character and not ever post. I want this to thrive and to actually conclude because I do have an ending, well two endings I guess, in mind and what to see this come to fruition.

Literacy is nice. I'm not picky about typos and what not as long as you are trying to catch them as you write. Length should be about a paragraph or two, each with four to five sentences or more. If it's dialog I can understand the slim pickings and we may designate chat as primary dialog spot to help out.

Probably the biggest requirement in my book is just have fun and be creative. I understand if you draw inspiration from something or someone not your own, but please no copy'n'paste characters or rip-offs. Fun-ness and creativity; live and breath them.

NOW WHO WANTS TO DIVE TO THE DEPTHS AND WITNESS THE SPLENDOR THAT IS RAPTURE!

It's good to be back, hopefully we'll get the other Rapture Drowning members on boards as well as new rpers. This will be the epic Rp that Rapture Drowning should have been. Though it really was, but just slowed down sadly

A train of sheer epicness. Finished Minerva's Den yesterday so that kicked me into overdrive to get this started.

Ya, I loved the ending, specially the part where Porter and Tannenbaum are walking on the beach away from the bathysphere.

Sweet, that's another, good to have you aboard Anderan.

Also on another note; I probably won't be getting that Fallout Rp up anytime soon, though I do have everyone's stuff saved.


On another note: People do join, don't let this side talk distract you from showing your love.

I love you androgynous crowd I keep speaking too! <3

Yay. :D I finally got Bioshock 2, already on my third playthrough. XD Haven't played Minerva's Den yet though. Definitely joining up though. They should make a Bioshock RPG haha. Feel free to assign me a role, I'm not partial!

Awesome, I'm glad to hear it. You should try Minerva's Den when you get the chance. The Protector Trials are fairly fun as well, kind of like Spec Ops for Modern Warfare 2.

Role wise, I'm going to leave that up to individuals. Each person with have there character and it'll be up to them to show how they fit in the Post-Family, Post-Ryan Rapture. There will be sides and some smaller factions as well. I'll put those up when I start work on the Rp Tab.

Also there is something of grave importance I must speak with the androgynous crowd about. As much as I love Bioshock, I can not do this Rp with only a few participants. While I have right now four interested people, I Will Need More! If I do not get enough interested people to show support than I will not go ahead with this. It's not that I don't want to GM a small group of Rpers, but in my mind this Rp is going to be epic and so grand that it'll be looked upon with fondness when we complete it. I can't do that with just four fellow Rapturians and my self so I need everyone else interested to join. So please; Wiremouth, Guardian Angle, Anderan, and Rougeshadow, go forth and bring in other Bioshock enthusiasts into our cause. I can not do this alone, but together we can.

TOGETHER WE ARE RAPTURE!

The splendor that is rapture? You've gone mad mate. XD I'd be happy to join, at least if we finish this rp I'll feel like I've finished bioshock in spirit. I still need to finish the first, always ended up getting distracted and then forgetting about it, haven't even bought the second cause I keep meaning to go back to the first.

@Tyle: You should finish them, not saying you have too for this Rp, but they are both epic and I can't wait for Bioshock Infinite. I'm glad to see you join. Bring some friends to the party as well.

@Atomic: No problemo, glad to have you aboard. Please let the particiapanst of you Rp know they are more than welcome to join.

Well, I'm waiting to see how much interest get's drummed up. Ideally I would love to have at least a dozen to maybe fifteen or more participants (at that size I'll probably have Co-GMs to help guide things along), but I could work with eight to ten players. So when ever we get that many guys and gals interested.
