Introduction
βNo,β says the irresponsible GM, βI will not care for what I have created.β
βNo,β says the vanishing player, βI care not for those who cannot continue without me.β
βNo,β says a seemingly dwindling fan base, βweβve moved on.β
I rejected these answers. Instead I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I choseβ¦
Rapture.
A RP where the player need not fear the sudden disappearance of his comrades,
where characters would not sit in eternal limbo after being submitted,
where the committed would not be constrained by the flighty.
And with your dedication, Rapture can be you RP too.
Welcome to Rapture. The year is 1960, shortly before the arrival of Jack Ryan. Andrew Ryan controls the majority of the city through plasmids altered to make the user vulnerable to mental suggestion through pheromones and, of course, the pheromones themselves. Those not under Ryan's control consist primarily of either those who don't use ADAM, and those who use it only sparingly, though it is possible that some splicers have either developed an immunity or have been using only the non-altered plasmids. Atlas and the few remaining unspliced rebels have gone into hiding but are still fairly aware of any major goings-on due to several hacked security cameras.
Rapture has turned from a place of freedom to a place of tyranny and chaos, and you are trapped within. What will you do?
Applications
I would like to have a diverse range of characters, but personality-wise and in terms of what they are (Big Daddy, Splicer, etc.) with Bioshock logic, of course. Therefor there should probably be fewer Big Daddies and Little Sisters than other types of characters as they rarely think coherently enough to be viable protagonists.
The character sheet may be written like an interview for your character, but it's your decision how you fill it out, as long as all the questions get answered any way works.
Character Sheet
What is your name?
Age?
Gender?
What are you? (Splicer, Big Daddy, unspliced person, Little Sister, etc.)
How would you describe your personality?
How do you think others would describe you?
Why did you come to Rapture?
Do you have any family?
What, if any, weapons, plasmids, and gene tonics do you have? (at the beginning. More can be attained through the course of the RP so please start small.)
How did you fit in to Ryan's Rapture before the civil war?
Where were you when the civil war started on New Years Eve of 1958?
What is your appearance? (Image or written description, or both if you wish)
(Those wanting to play as a cannon character put a sample post at the end of the sheet.)

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
As she was still disoriented from the plasmid, the jury was still out on whether or not that had been a good idea, it took Chery a moment to realize that the sound was that of footsteps. Giant, two ton, footsteps. Peeking around the corner Cheryl saw what appeared to be a huge bouncer. While it did seem to have a Little Sister already with it, ti still had to be safer than staying here alone.
Slowly approaching the pair, Cheryl observed that there was something odd about the girl accompanying the giant. She was normal, no glowing eyes, no babbling aimlessly about angels or jam. Deciding to chance yet another massive error in judgment, Cheryl quietly called to the girl. "Hello?" Hopefully neither of them would see her as an immediate threat.

Do you know how much it sucks, being sick for a whole week. Not even the same illness. Two seperate illnesses!!!!!
It fucking sucks.
Finally (and hopefully) getting better. Might actual be capable of posting tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay. Being sick sucks. I'm just going to go throw up now probably, later (not a joke)

Which sucks, cause I haven't read the last two yet.
I just looked over everyone's history, and all it lists is what I've read already. Was there anything that happened past Cheryl getting knocked out by the plasmid? Try to get a moderator to look at this or something.

Re: Rapture 1960
I agree that so far it has been rather combat-heavy, and we should probably dial it down a bit.
Squishy
Since you asked where everyone is...
This is the closest I could figure out: Connor is in the lounge, Cheryl and Echo just entered Twilight Fields Funeral Homes, Thumper and Alice are about to enter the Pavilion, and Vinni is looking after Jack.
