Somewhere Beyond The Sea... (A Bioshock Rp)

I know that it has been awhile since I've gotten into an RP and stuck with it. And it's probably not a great idea for me to do this while there are two very active threads here already, but I thought I'd give it a shot. This is gonna be based off one of my favorite games...Bioshock...

***************************************

Message sent to the select few:

Gentlemen. Ladies. Too long have you all been trapped by the simple laws and rules of your world. You abide by each little mandate, and yet...where is your reward?

Many who choose to break the law walk away with impunity. In other words, there is no punishment for the strong.

I am not here to convince you to become criminals, though. I am here to offer an escape. I have finally managed to do...the impossible. I have constructed the way out. I have constructed the way to take you higher. I have, in other words, built your Rapture.

A place where the artist will not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the weak would not be constrained by the small.

Where? Underwater. A city beneath the sea. Rapture...And I want you to be a part of it. The choice is yours of course. But you are to tell no one! Unless I give permission. Punishment for this one major rule will be...severe...

The land walkers...The diseases...The parasites...would not understand.

Good people. I am Andrew Ryan. And I'm here to ask you a question. Are you a man, or a slave? Are you in? Or are you out?

If you are interested and approved, I'll tell you where you are to come...Until then...

~ Andrew Ryan

*********************************

This story will take place in the underwater city of Rapture (Somewhere in the neighborhood of the 1920's/30's). Well before its destruction. To start, we need inhabitants. Plasmids have not been invented yet. So no one has any powers yet. Guns and weapons are all anyone has for now if they choose to use them...The story will follow the events that lead up to Rapture's decline and eventual fall. Perhaps it will extend even farther...

You can be anyone from the game or an OC. It doesn't matter. I promise that there will be action in it once a few things are established...

Just abide by the normal RP rules and everything will be fine...

Multiple characters are fine if you think you can handle them...

But before you can get into Rapture, you'll need to write to Andrew Ryan, and submit a few details about yourself. Then you can come in...

*************************************

Example (My character):

Dear Andrew Ryan,

I dare say you don't know me directly. Yet. My name is Sander Cohen. And I'd like to answer your question. I am most certainly a man...

I heard about you from a friend who you approved to tell me. Don't worry, I won't tell a soul.

But you sir, bravo! You are a revolutionary! A place where the artist would not fear the censor? I think I would enjoy being the first artist in the city of Rapture....

I will only bring the essentials of my life to the city. Oh and I'll also be bringing a small pistol if that's alright. You can never be too careful...

So what do you say? Am I worthy to escape the parasites? May I join you in Rapture?

~Sander Cohen

**************************************

Weapons: Small Revolver.

Age: 40's- early 50's

Appearance: Pale skinned and average height, Sander Cohen wears a tuxedo every day. He has a thin mustache on his upper lip, and a thinning hair line. He sounds an awful lot like Vincent Price if you know who that is...

History: Sander Cohen's history is very mysterious. The only details that we can assume is that he was once a kind of artist on the surface. His love for theatre and his musical genious imply that he has mastered several, if not all forms of art. He has no known family, or any link to the surface world.

Personality: If you intrigue Sander, he'll likely be good to you. He is very charismatic. On the down side, his rage is known to be easily provoked and often leads to the mysterious misfortunes of his enemies...

Sounds interesting. I'm in! ^^

Dearest Andrew Ryan,

I've no name. My previous masters have called me nothing but "Slave". But their children have been most generous. They called me "Girl". But I suppose that wouldn't be counted as a name, either. But in all honesty, I think I prefer the name "Addie" to anything else.

Lady Calanthe, my Mistress, taught me how to write and told me of you, to free me from my cruel master. And I thank you for doing a marvelous deed such as this. Giving the Slaves the choice of freedom is a righteous thing.

I would be honored and proud to be a citizen of Rapture, if you'll let me. I do not have much, except for the clothes on my back and my very best friend, Charlie. I've no need for material things. Though, I admit, in order to escape my master, I may have to borrow a kitchen knife or two in order to flee to safety.

If you could, please let me know if I am worthy soon? I'd prefer to arrive in Rapture with few bruises from my Master. Thank you!

-Addie

-----------------------

Weapon: Kitchen knife
Age: 12
Appearance: Shaggy and uneven black hair, one green eye, one brown. Pale and small for her age. Usually dressed in tattered clothing, hugging a stuffed cat she calls "Charlie". Usually barefoot and scrapped up, looking quite dirty.

History: She doesn't remember anything of her family. Just that she was raised being passed around as a slave from family to family. The princess of her land had gone missing 12 years ago, shortly after her parents gave Addie away, which is what she was told happened. When she was ten, she was sent to her current Master's home. He is cruel and beats her constantly if she does something wrong. Her Mistress was kind, though. She taught Addie everything, including how to read and write.

Personality: She's a kind, caring girl, and overly polite. Strangely she talks exactly like Shakespeare. It was possible that she read one too many of his books. She's soft spoken and shy, but loves to play. Curious about the world, as any child would be.
"Smile, what's the use of crying?" -Charlie Chaplin "Smile."

Addie,

I look forward to seeing you for the first time. The first words you'll here from me will be: "Welcome to Rapture!"

On December 12, I want you to board a plane to Moscow at midnight. Do not worry about expenses. They have already been covered.

Oh, and you might want to put your belongings in a waterproof bag...

Until then,
~Andrew Ryan

****************************************************

OOC: I'm really into this so I'll be writing acceptance letters like this to everyone just for fun...It's what Andrew would do...
