Welcome to Rapture!


"I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well."
―Andrew Ryan

Introduction
Rapture sits at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, as a gleaming metropolis of massive Art Deco-styled buildings, connected by networks of glass tunnels, Bathysphere systems, and submerged railways. All-in-all resembling the Manhattan borough of New York, in both size as well as general appearance. The city is completely self-sustaining, and all of its electricity, food, water and air purification and defense system are powered by the volcanic vents in Hephaestus. Rapture is intentionally isolated from the world, and the only way to access it seems to be bathyspheres taken down from the lighthouse perched on an island above.

This Role play will take place in the Year 1959 the Civil war Between Atlas and Andrew Ryan. So basically for those who have played Bioshock, the time before Bioshock takes place and the time period Bioshock 2 multiplayer takes place. The RP will consist of our characters daily lives throughout rapture, and the changing of their lives due to the civil war and the collapse of rapture. Main and Major characters can be played but i would prefer that these stay NPC's so that the role play moves faster.

We will have two parts to his role play, 1959, Before and during the civil war. We will start when we have a reasonable number of RP'ers. It will begin 3 days before Happy new year 1959 and before the civil war.

Rules
1. Follow the Guidelines and Rules
2. Try not to kill anyone during the 1918 time period
3. You are not indestructible
4. Ryan is always watching
5. Respect others and the GM
6. Proper literate English please no - Txt tlk like lol.
7. Try to follow the story line of Rapture and try not to move it out of place like blowing up half of rapture or by killing Andrew Ryan or Fontaine because they will not die in this RP until we move on.
8. Make it work, don't have your character being a little sister that can wield a machine gun and walks around shooting people because thats not what little sisters do; they walk around collecting adam from dead bodies, remember, "Good girls Gather"
9. Have fun

Big Daddy
http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Daddy
Big Daddies (also known as Protectors) are genetically-enhanced human beings who have had their skin and organs grafted into an enormous diving suit, with Alpha Series being an apparent exception to the grafting process. Their primary purpose is to protect Little Sisters while they escort them around Rapture.
Big Daddies, besides the Alpha Series, communicate by haunting sounds similar to that of a whale's call. For easier interpretation, lights were added to the helmet to display what state of intention the Big Daddy is in. Big Daddy helmets have three light colors: green indicates the Big Daddy is hypnotized and friendly, yellow indicates awareness of but indifference to his environment, and red indicates a rage towards assailants. If the first few attempts to drive away potential threats prove futile, Big Daddies will become enraged, unlike Alpha Series who always begin enraged.
Description
Name: (Mr. Bubbles- is usually your name, well named by the little sister, but what is your name before you became big daddy?)
Age:
Gender: (Male)
Height:
Weight:
Series: (Rosie or Bouncer at the moment, in future we will decide if we are going to all Alpha series as they were developed in 1959 as the first big daddies, PM me if you want to be one.
Description Picture:
Personality
Most big daddies dont have a personality. But if you wish to be an alpha series they usually can think for themselves.
Little Sister: Do you already have a little sister? (Have you made one yourself or have you joined up with a another Rp'er?)
Equipment
Bouncer: Bouncers are clad in a basic heavy diving suit, the entire torso of which is covered by a high-gauge metal carapace. The head protrudes directly forward from the upper chest area, and is encased in a hemispherical helmet studded with eight lit portholes. A large, fully-functional conical drill is attached to the right arm just forward of the elbow, and is used for powerful melee attacks. The Bouncers gets their name from an attack they use, in which they strike the ground with their drills, resulting in a tremor that gives close-proximity enemies unstable footing. Some carry Harpoons (Elite).
Rosie: Rosies are clad in a basic heavy diving suit, the upper torso of which is covered by a high-gauge metal carapace. The head is guarded by a high-gauge metal diving helmet welded to the torso carapace, and has three large lit portholes. They wield large rivet guns and Proximity Mines at long range, and use the rivet gun for powerful melee attacks as well.
Describe to me your unique diving suit (if you want), and if its the same just say it is the standard diving suit, it may be different due to fighting.

Little Sister
http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Little_Sister
Little Sisters are young girls who have been genetically altered and mentally conditioned to reclaim ADAM from the corpses around Rapture. Little Sisters are almost always accompanied by a Big Daddy. They are almost completely immune to damage and appear to be abler to breathe under water. Attacking them, however, will incur the wrath of their protectors.

ADAM is excreted by a Sea Slug found near Rapture. However, the sea slug did not naturally produce ADAM in large enough quantities for serious research and exploitation. Brigid Tenenbaum developed a procedure whereby a sea slug was implanted in a host's stomach. After the host fed, inducing regurgitation yielded up to thirty times the amount of usable ADAM. Female children were found to be the only viable hosts (on a technical and biological level), and after implantation they were known as Little Sisters. Although Tenenbaum hoped to keep the children in a vegetative state, they had to be fully functional in order to produce ADAM. They still maintained many of the ordinary characteristics of children: laughing, playing, smiling, and singing. The

Little Sisters were conditioned to see the world of Rapture very differently than the other inhabitants do. Instead of seeing the dark, deteriorated state of the city, they saw an idealized world, with rosy marble floors, pink drapings, and flowering vines growing everywhere. Little Sisters see their Big Daddies as noble golden knights, and they see Big Sisters as brides or princesses with elegant ballroom apparel. Statues appear as Big Daddies, and the "angels", which are in reality the dead bodies of Splicers, appear as bodies lying on the ground with the outline of a halo and angel wings surrounding them. Splicers themselves appear as beautiful, elegantly dressed men and women in masquerade masks. However, the little girls' world view is brought abruptly back to the grim, twisted reality of Rapture's decay whenever they are frightened or in the process of gathering from a corpse.

Name:
Age: Each Little Sister is a young girl between the age of five and eight.
Gender: (Female)
Height:
Weight:
Hair: Color? how is it worn? Length? Texture?
Eye color: Usually a bright yellow due to the ADAM inside them.
Description Picture:
Personality
Little sisters act like little girls and usually are adoring of their big daddies especially as they have been conditioned to see rapture very differently then others.
Big Daddy: Do you already have a Big Daddy? (Have you made one yourself or have you joined up with a another Rp'er?)
Equipment
They usually are wearing a dress and carry an ADAM extraction needle made from what they can find, hose pipes, needles, tubes.
