ok for starters the RP would only be based of the original IDEA of bioshock.
i.e there are plicers underwater city BIGdaddys
and so forth but this is set BEFORE the game.
tho only shortly before.


My original plan was to have some girl (8-15 years old) as one char (a little sister)
a big daddy (DIBS ON THIS CHAR)
maybe a guy whos punked up on adam.
a guy who is a gun nut
i dont really have a limit on these sorta things but you know variation would be nice.
im planning that were the Rp is set NOT EVERYONE has gone insane yet.
i was thinking that the little sister char could lose her memory or something.
or better yet not have a virus but still wonders around with her big daddy.
for all those people who have no idea what im talking about.
go to google and type in Bioshock the game and hit search

its an awesome game and a great storyline.

my main question was.
would this RP idea be lame.
would anyone join
and if it needs improvements what do you think?

It needs either more structure or more freedom.
You've given a loose outline of what characters you want but not what their purpose would be. Either give ALL of them a specific purpose, or allow characters to create inhabitants of Rapture as they please, but so long as they are within the limits of the game. I'd also recommend devising a system that limits the obtainability and/or use of plasmids. While it would take some work, it would definitely be worth it, and most certainly necessary.

Lastly, supplying people their purposes. If it's structure, build an internal story among Rapture. If you're allowing total free-roam, explain the situation more throughly so they understand the legitimate options. Are they an ADAM-whore just living it up on the greatest (uninvented) drug of all time? Or are they just another average joe trying to escape the insanity via bathysphere? Maybe they're in the midst of conversion from normal, to psychofanatic plasmid loving ADAM junkie, and having emotional trauma. The point is, the people need to know their options.

i was thinking fairly free roam.
as far as the chars go i was just mentioning them.
when it comes to plasmids i was thinking two ability's MAX.
otherwise things would get out of hand.
or alternatively they could be splicers.
as for story. what about theres a special little sister. shes different becuase shes older. shes 16. she has lost any sort of memories of this place and considers everything in Rapture very strange. shes appears as a normal girl.
however in actuality the parasite within her is far superior. she does not require to drink blood in order to reprocess ADAM this causes many to try and kill her. meanwhile a Big daddy who is protecting her previously had the benefit of using this excess of ADAM in her system. and thus is stronger then most big daddys. he apears as a ordinary bouncer, however slightly larger.
hes strong enough to also hold a rivet gun in his spare hand. however it limits his movement. because of the extra ADAM he slowly regenerates when safe.
however such overuse of adam has caused several memorie problems.
although he still remembers he must protect his little sister he does not know why. or how he got her or who he is.
simply he is a body guard and will always be.

You'd have to explain what splicers and little sisters and big daddys are to people who havent played the game. I did though I beat it with the Good ending mrgreen
I'd join

Oh yes! I was thinking for this for a rp but it looks like you got to it first. It be real intersting to pretell the story before Deans arrival in our own way. Heck, I join!

I'll join, but yes, you will have to more clearly define the limits of the players, and give them a way to associate themselves with the "special" Little Sister and Big Daddy. I look forward to seeing what you put out.

ok people heres the plan.

i need a girl to play the 15-18 year old little sister.
im the big daddy ^^ lol sorry but i get the kool spot.

as far as limits go you cant be any major char from the game.
its just easier that way.
you can interact with them i suppose theres no harm in that ^^

as for limits it depends on who you are.
if your a gun nut (i.e someone with a large amount of firepower)
then you have no abilities but you may have a couple of kool weapons. even ones you make urself.

if your a splicer then choose a type from the game. along with the usual splicer abilities you can have another one. ONLY ONE.

however if you want to be a ADAM jockey. I.e someone like the main char in the game.
then you can have about 3 plasmids. and limited use of guns NOTHING HUGE.

as for how people interact with the two mains (big daddy and little sis)
the little sis is basically an unlimited source of high grade quality ADAM.
^^ however she is not like other sisters. shes older and can use the ADAM for herself.
(whoever plays her char can have one plasmid but can change it to whatever she pleases at certain points. yes this means shes the only one with plasmid changing rights ok)
the big daddy gets no abilities except for the whole (hes ******** tough thing)

as for other chars they can either decide to save the girl from me ^^ lol
or kill her and take the Adam
or alternatively try and kidnap her for the unlimited source of powerful ADAM.

oh i thought of another type of char.
if your a hacker i.e a guy who hacks stuff like bots.
then you get only the plasmid that converts security to your side. and the knowledge of hacking security stuff safes and so forth.

NO WORKING WITH OR FOR FONTAIN OR RYAN.
you can meet them talk to them or whatever but in general they should remain in the background that way we dont threaten the games plot. ^^ sorry just a pet peeve of mine ^^

hmm i was thinking about what the potential story line could be to start off ^^. heres what i was thinking feel free to suggest other ideas or build on this one.
oh heres a title pic for the RP kudos to whoever drew it
http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/features/fanartgallery/ghillus1.jpg
this too
http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/wallpapers/1024x640c.jpg
or this one is kool too ^^
http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/wallpapers/1024x640b2.jpg

The explosion was deafening. his large diving suit hit the ground with a huge thump. his vision was blurred he had been hit from behind. damb splicers he thought trying to get up on his feet. his armor he often thought was a burden to carry was the blessing that had saved his life. he didnt know who he was anymore....what he was. his only thoughts were to stay alive and protect her.
his gaze turned to see the girl knocked unconscious in the corner. she was so fragile....not like the others....she was different she was older....she was better. his leg was broken but he didnt care his hand reached out toward her and grabbed at the ground trying to drag him forward.

thats all i got for now ^^ if u really want to join the RP then ill consider making one for us all. just post what cahrs you all had in mind.

Just post the speech that Andrew Ryan gives at the beggining of the game, where you're in the little thing being carried through the city and you see whales and sea life and stuff. I'm sure it's somewhere. And you need to have characters like other RP's like:
"Username:
RP name:
Bio:
..."

And ect.

Sorry for the double post, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioShock
is basically the most perfect explanation of this RP.
