[OOC] Bioshock: Rapture Drowning ( )

Postby uncast on Sat Mar 13, 2010 10:34 am

Introduction: roleplay/bioshock-rapture-drowning/
Interest check forum: bioshock-t37588.html
Under the 'Chat' tab, select 'Bioshock' in the drop-down menu @ Places in this Roleplay, if you feel inclined. We can discuss things in real-time that way, if people happen to be online at the same time!


Okay, I'm still new at this, so I'm learning the ropes.

I'm going to be lazy and auto approve the character concepts already submitted in the Interest Check forum - as I don't recall any objections to any of the character concepts there, unless there's some weird outlandish/impossible god mode-ing change.

For now, those new and interested in this RP, would you kindly post your characters here? I'm not really the GM, and I hope somebody can tell me how to add/change GMs. We'll agree on character application with general consensus. Since the applications are based on general consensus, after about half a day or in a day's time, if no one complains about a character concept, I'll just approve it.

Don't forget to submit your character via the character tab! Otherwise you can't post.

I'd say post characters here first, then if no one has any complaints, move to character tab.


Name: Malcolm Darrow
Character Type: Splicer
Weapons:
Malcolm currently carries a shotgun and an Adam Extraction needle stolen from the Little Sister's Orphanage near where he worked. He has a machine gun turret strapped to a hand cart, and though it is too heavy to really be practical, he's managed to drag it along with him. He has a few proximity mines, but no launcher, so he has to place them by hand. Given his extensive tool kit, he can rig up other weapons, given enough time and resources.

Plasmids: Electrobolt
Tonics: Speedy Hacker, Clever Inventor, Scrounger
Background/history: Malcolm used to work for Failsafe Armored Escorts. When he proved to be a better scientist than guard, he was offered a new job working to create Big Daddies. More of a hardware genius than a genetics expert, his job was in Suit Assembly, and he excelled there. His team was responsible for the Rosie design, and he was directly responsible for creating the "Friend or Foe" triggering mechanism for the proximity mines.

Behaviour: Unlike most Splicers, Malcolm has not succumbed to Plasmid Madness. He wants out of Rapture, and is willing to work alongside anyone who can help him.

Malcolm Darrow gets a thumbs up from me! I feel that your and my characters have great synergy; we can start at the same location. For example, my Bouncer could just be 'waking up', and Malcolm could see him as a potential ally. Or maybe Malcolm knew my Bouncer in his past life, and my Bouncer's past self could have asked Malcolm to give him the plasmid.

Or they could have been wandering around for a little while. In that case, my Bouncer would have already gotten his plasmid somewhere along the way. Or I could just get my Bouncer to 'wake up' beside his plasmid, and save us all the hassle :P. Anyway, I'd like to hear what you think.

I approved my own character, as I didn't think there was any objection to him in Interest Check forum. However, I shall post it again here, so it's for everyone to see!

Name: Green (it was none in the interest check forum, but I needed to put a character name down in the end xD).

Character type: Big Daddy, Bouncer-type.

Weapon: Permanant right handed drill. Able to drill-dash and stomp, due to the strength of being a Bouncer.

Plasmids: Weak biotics (pulling, throwing, charging (further enhancing drill-dash) and creating 'barriers'). May or may not start with this plasmid.
***Note on his plasmid: When his 'barrier' breaks, he is temporarily stunned, and becomes susceptible to Hypnotise.

Tonics: None.

Background/history:
A scientist who once worked with the Big Daddy project, he was 'sentenced' by Sofia Lamb to be processed into a Bouncer, after discovering that he did not share the same ideals as she did. Luckily, he had learnt of his fate beforehand, and due to his expertise with the Big Daddies, was able to sabotage the vat and ADAM concoctions he was going to be subjected to, giving him a limited degree of awareness.

His past life also worked on an experimental plasmid, that was meant to be used by Big Daddies. He had also created various items of possible interest, which are scattered all over Rapture.

Behaviour:
He communicates like any other Big Daddy would; via whale-like moans and changing the colour of his portholes. Green indicates positive/friendliness, yellow indicates apathy/neutrality, and red represents anger/hostility, and the colours in between the primary three (chartreuse and orange).

His primary concern are the Little Sisters, but due to the actions of his past life, he is able to make limited choices when the Little Sisters are either safe, or absent; for example, he can choose to protect a splicer from other splicers.

Postby Comrade Vacilli on Sat Mar 13, 2010 3:02 pm

This is intresting enough, about how many years is this after Bioshock? 10? 15? 20?


Name: Taleth Antonius

Character type: One of the few sane people left in Rapture

Weapons: Taleth refused to use the crude weapons most used to get by after the civil war and so barricading a small area, he began work where no one disturbed him, and any curious splicer was annihilated by the many turrents he had set up. After years of refinemnet, he managed to make a real weapon and enough ammo to go along with it. He had imported weapon plans from the surface before coming to rapture and corrected flaws making a FAMAS, the French bullpup rifles standard with GIGN.

Plasmids: Also while working with his weapons, he had been playing around with plasmids and to create his own, a poison gas plasmid where he releases some gas that kills splicers by the dozens, but usless against anyone who has a gasmask or a big daddy, big sister, etc. Furthermore, he has to wear a mask himself when using it as he could die from exposure to it also.

The other is to create explosions in midair by breaking the laws of phycis, nature, etc. and causes enough frictoin to explode. However, it there's too much humidity, too cold, too much moisture, etc. it will not ignite and if it's a big daddy, and he's out of ammo or things to kill it with, well one less compiter in Rapture.



Tonics: None, locking yourself up in a small area doesn't give you much of a chance to get tonics now does it?

Background/history: A young child during the civil war, his parents managed to get him back to the surface as all hell broke loose and a couple years after Jack's adventure, he located Rapture and with stolen weapon blueprints, he decneded into hell and secluded himself for several years and observed Subject Delta's ramage through Rapture and with the Familly out of the picture, less splicers attacked and he was able to finish both plasmids and his weapon and remerged saving anyone he deemed worthy, even splicers.

Behaviour: Analyzes fights first and decided wheter it'd be worth trying to save his enemies or not then plunges into the fight with his superior wepaons to a crackpots weapon. Helps Big Daddies protect the little sisters and when a Big Daddy dies, he takes the little sister and runs to find a Big Daddy who has no Little Sister or a vent if needed. Rarely harvests them as he gets his adam from scavanging and dead bodies.

@ at0micb0mb123 - seems fine by me.

@ Comrade Vacilli - I'd say a few months after Bioshock 2, give or take.

Your character looks good! Your gas plasmid is actually harmful to yourself and your allies unless protected (good thing I'm playing a Big Daddy :P). I interpret the ability to kill dozens would mean the plasmid is capable of flooding small to medium sized, enclosed rooms. Large-ish/well ventilated rooms would be stretching it, I would think.

I wouldn't worry about breaking the laws of science with the second plasmid. That's hardly as bad as shooting bees from your hand, lol!

@ teegaroo - your character sits well with me. Hell, her 'half-sister' condition is an awesome explanation of why she hasn't aged, and the idea of it intrigues me ^_^ (normal Little Sisters do actually age)

Is it possible for you to copy/paste her details here? You don't have to put the images. At the moment, I'm the only one who can see your character :(

Ohhh. Sorry. I died for awhile. I literally dropped my jaw when I saw how many posts were on my other thread, simply because I had given up hope that anyone would read and/or respond. It made me quite sad for awhile. T.T

Then I died, and checked my email and found the most recent PM in this inbox from uncast. Thanks dude.

So in conclusion I will be joining and reading over all the crap in my "Bioshock RP?" thread and going to the other new-and-improved RP type deal. Hopefully no one will bash me too hard for dying and coming back to life and forgetting about all of you lovelies.

Oh, and I'm a chick. But small matter, haha.

Whoops. >_>

I adhere to the general internet rule that, until stated otherwise (or with an obvious username), you're all dudes :P

Don't kill me ._.

And hey, RL is RL - that's always priority. No one will fault you for that (except me... I'm blaming you to dust)

And lastly...

:O!!
Welcome back! Since it was your original idea, I don't think anyone would disagree if you wanted to GM. Uhm, only that I don't know how to change/add moderators and GMs.

Plasmids: Electro Bolt, Incinerate!, Winter Blast, Insect Swarm, and the (unnamed) Cure Little Sisters
Tonics: None
Background/history: Scientist, did tests on himself, see the character I submitted
Behaviour: Kind, Helpful, yet Secretive

Yes, it's vague. Sorry, but there is a lot more detail in the character I submitted.

Name: Hood.James.Faneaper
Character type: Human?
Weapons: Crowbar
Plasmids: None
Tonics: SportBoost 2
Background/history: An acholic, heavy smoker and a straving man in Rapture, all to drown his misery for an woman who cheated him and attempted to murder him soon after the New Year's 1958 riot. Hood wants to reach the surface world, but years trapped within a drowning Rapture, Hood realizes his losing his sainty - the urge to have a plasmids might just keep him alive from starvation and misery. Or maybe he just needs someone to talk to?
Behaviour: His a great escapist, he knows where there is no splicers and he always knows were to find a good hiding spot. Hood wants to maintain human as long as he can, his one of the few men who go against plasmids, but now that starting to change after being trapped in a sinking Rapture.


I don't know if this is what your looking for or not? I do plan on making him a spilcer XD

Alrighty, I suggest this: Since the applications are based on general consensus, after about half a day or in a day's time, if no one complains about a character concept, I'll just approve it.

@ Fraud:That's cool, I'll copy/paste it. I give it a thumbs up!

SYNOPSIS
A splicer with a heart of gold. He has learned to control his ADAM addiction, but how well?

DESCRIPTION
Reaver has a short, brown-haired business cut. He wears a short-sleeved white button-up shirt, which is stained with blood and unknown chemicals. Reaver has 2 notable features about him: His face, and his left arm.
Even looking like your average splicer, Reaver chooses not to wear a mask. He is aware of how he looks, and knows he brought it upon himself. He displays his face with pride. The skin over his right eye has completely covered the eye portion. He has a long scar running through his left eye, reaching down to his lips. His eye is a yellow-green color, and glows in the dark.

His arm is a different story. Reaver's arm is muscular, yet swollen. This is from one of his past experiments, which he deemed a success. His arm slightly increases the power of whichever plasmid he is using. Even with the increased power of plasmids, Reaver has side-effects from his arm. He constantly has fits of pain, and cannot use any plasmid during the fit. He also has occasional hallucinations, reaching further than the occasional ghost. He once saw the various glass chambers of rapture fall through and fill the area with blood, instead of seawater.

PERSONALITY
Reaver is secretive, yet kind and helpful. His past life had led him into a secluded life, branching out to the people who paid him to do inhumane science experiments. He spent many days alone, locked inside his apartment.
Reaver, after being the failed test experiment for his latest experiment, had found a new source of happiness. He gained a bit of his humanity back, and now wishes to help the Splicer population return to their original, peaceful selves.

EQUIPMENT
Reaver only has a lead pipe, a .357 magnum, and a pump-action shotgun for his physical weapons. As for plasmids, he only has 5. Four are for combat, and the last is to help his addiction and the people.

-PLASMIDS-
Electro Bolt
Winter Blast
Insect Swarm
Incinerate!
Cure Little Sister(The unnamed plasmid in the first game)

HISTORY
Reaver was a scientist, or the science experiment. Whichever you believe.

Due to an overwhelming fear of killing someone, human-Reaver used himself as a test subject for whatever science experiments he did. Atlas had recruited Reaver to find a way to make plasmids more effective. When Reaver found it, Jack had already come and gone through Rapture. With his own self to blame, Reaver became addicted to ADAM, but with the benefit of stronger plasmids and a laboratory in his own home.

One day, Reaver was attempting to make a plasmid that would allow him to drain corpses of ADAM, much like a Little Sister did. When he tested it, he found that he regained some of his humanity. Unfortunately, he still looked like a Splicer and had a craving for ADAM, yet he knew he could increase this concoction's effectiveness and restore himself to what he once was. Testing with ADAM Slugs and various other plasmids, his home was attacked and ransacked. Splicers had taken everything he had owned and forced him out of his own home.

Reaver now wanders the tunnels and buildings of Rapture, trying to find a suitable laboratory to create the cure for Rapture's Splicers, and end his ADAM cravings.



@ HellsingConstantine: Looks good by me! The general theme is that we're trying to survive, one way of another.
