Introduction

I am Captain Obvious, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a roleplayer not entitled to a Bioshock RP that isn’t dead?

β€œNo,” says the irresponsible GM, β€œI will not care for what I have created.”
β€œNo,” says the vanishing player, β€œI care not for those who cannot continue without me.”
β€œNo,” says a seemingly dwindling fan base, β€œwe’ve moved on.”

I rejected these answers. Instead I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose…

Rapture.

Image


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.)

Toggle Rules

1. Please follow the rules of the site.
2. Playing as a cannon character is allowed, provided you can keep them in character and they were around at the time. Delta, for example, is currently really busy being dead and is therefor unlikely to do anything of note.
3. Follow the rules of the series. Meaning that we can't play as a Big Sister, because the Little Sisters haven't been around long enough for any of the them to grow up. This also means that any Alpha Series will be bonded to one specific Little Sister, without which they will go insane or lapse into a coma and die.
4. While the original storyline can be altered by your character's actions (have anyone play as a cannon character almost ensures that it will be), please remember to keep player-knowledge and character-knowledge separate.
5. Do not join if you are not going to stick with this RP. I will not abandon you, please extend me the same courtesy.
6. If you've read all the rules put "Lot 192" somewhere in your character sheet.
7. Follow rules one through six, would you kindly?

Cheryl woke around half an hour later to find that Echo was gone. She also had no idea where she was. Alright so that phrase was somewhat inaccurate, technically she could see that she was still in Rapture, big surprise there, and she was still in the Medical Pavilion, other than that though she couldn't be sure. She was debating whether or not it would be safer for her to go look for the missing Alpha series, or if she should just wait here for him to return, when she heard a low thud, followed by another and then another.

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.

Re: Rapture 1960

Sorry Bane, it looks like this one's dead. It's no one's fault, just an unfortunate occurrence.

Re: Rapture 1960

FUCKING HELL


I have been sick, and still am sick, for an entire week!


1 whole freaking week!


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)

Re: Rapture 1960

I hate to sound defeatist, but if it's left down to you and me then this is kinda belly up. I think we could've used more members from the start. The dream, the idea, they are not dead, but this attempt? I can hear the Taps playing as I type this. It's alright, though. Unlike Andrew, who's busy having a 9-iron through his skull, we can try again.

Re: Rapture 1960

If Mr. Baneling Squishy hasn't posted by tomorrow then we'll move on. I'll leave Echo's fate open-ended so that, with a little work, he'll be able to jump back in at some point. If we wait too much longer I fear this RP will die out and, as I've said before, this is something that I simply cannot let happen.

Re: Rapture 1960

Eh, not to be a dick, but that's why I made Alice. I didn't want to be dependent on another player. No offence to anyone.

Re: Rapture 1960

Fret not, Raidose my friend, for I shan't let this die. I'll even create more characters to keep the story going if necessary. I made this RP because all the other Bioshock ones were dead, and it'll be a dry day in Rapture before I let this one suffer the same fate.

Re: Rapture 1960

I'm not sure. I blame the holidays. I'll be more active when they are done.

Re: Rapture 1960

Oh Balls, did this die? Come on, can't one live?

Re: Rapture 1960

Computer Problems. Various things I need to do. About to go meet a friend.


Busy lately. Ment to post before, but got logged out mid post and lost it. D:

Will try to post today.

Re: Rapture 1960

If I have to wait till tomorrow, I'll skip Baneling and post to continue the story, though this is going to be awkward with just two people.

Re: Rapture 1960

I can't believe that I've been calling you Squishy, in a RP based at the bottom of the ocean no less, and haven't made this reference yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1kl4LnLzfQ

On an unrelated note, please post, or I shall be forced to find more silly things on youtube.

Re: Rapture 1960

Sweet! Now I just got to wait till Connor makes his move or Vinni makes his. Then Thumper can..... do...... something or other.

Re: Rapture 1960

Success! I am a genius.

Okay, maybe not a genius, but it did work.

Re: Rapture 1960

Baneling posted after Cheryl used the plasmid, but it's not showing up as tagged under any character. Now that I think about it, I might have an idea what happened. Something similar happened in another roleplay I'm in, but it went back to normal after someone else posted. I shall try to resolve this problem by posting a sort of "dummy post" to see if it brings them back.

Re: Rapture 1960

Uhhh........ I got nothing....
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

All the posts seem to have disappeared, which is... unexpected to say the least. Does anyone else see it, or is my computer just being unspeakably rude? Also does anyone know how to fix it?

Re: Rapture 1960

Okay, by far not my best post, but after the computer eating my old posts twice and me, in a fit of rage, forgetting half of what I wrote the first two times, it will bloody fucking do.

Re: Rapture 1960

Sorry I haven't posted in a while guys. I have had a ton of work recently. Regardless, I am posting now.

Re: Rapture 1960

Raidose
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.

Re: Rapture 1960

I cannot believe it....... 6 paragraphs..... gone. Computer, why do you hate me?!?!?! Gahhh!!!!!
