[OOC] The Knights of Songbird: A Bioshock Roleplay

[Ace of Jacks]

rocketrobie2 said
Also what do you think about a Ironsides/return to sender junkie?

I think you might just turn into Magneto XD

But I can't see too much out of combat practicality.It's mostly defensive but since it would be a junkie it could be very destructive offensively with a nearly invincible defense

Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Arch Vexx

Bio: Once a follower of Comstock, Vexx quickly learned that he is not one hundred percent true. Looking around for answers he came across a group known as The Knights Of Songbird, all having the same suspicion as him, he joined them and is the new recruit of the group. Being a good shot he was quickly appreciated amongst the ranks and has earned his nickname, One Shot Wonder but people still just call him Vexx.

Vigors/Plasmids: Peeping Tom, Sonic Boom

Weapons:Bird's Eye, Broadsider

Faction: Knight

[The Kraken]

OH MY GOSH ANOTHER PERS--- Ahem, I mean: Welcome!

Your character is accepted, however I will tell you that those plasmids you have down will not be available to your character until the Knights move from Columbia into Rapture. So for now you can pick two vigors and later in the roleplay your character can stumble upon the plasmids and viola!

[BrodZ11711]

What do you mean? ahaha sorry, but the peeping tom is Vigor and the sonic boom is plasmid so which do i get rid of?

[The Kraken]

Well I mean that the Peeping Tom is used in Rapture as part of Burial at Sea. So you can either keep it as if it were a vigor and add one more in place of sonic boom or replace both.

[BrodZ11711]

I'll replace both but later when i go into Rapture i can change?

[The Kraken]

Yes it will be just like in game where if your character sees a bottle they can go and get it and "change" their vigor/plasmid

[rocketrobie2]

Almost done my app!

Just need to write down his bio!

He's gonna be the possession junkie.

[Kafka Komedy]

Hello, I would love to join this RP. I'll begin working on an application right now, though I do have one question. What year does this take place?

[Ace of Jacks]

I kind of consider the new vigors from Burial at Sea as a part of Columbia, since they are vigors and some of the vigors in Columbia were found there as well. Then again I think they're advertised as "drinkable plasmids". I always assumed that they existed in Columbia, or maybe a different version of it, but was just never exposed to Booker in game.

But I'm looking forward to the Possession Junkie XD I was debating on whether or not eventually killing off Charlotte's Big Daddy, forcing the Knights to kill him to protect themselves, or just having Charlotte constantly having to make sure he wasn't around. But having him around would give your character a constant host. If he going to join the Knights?

I'm going to work on the a Knight soon.

Mason Flint

Name: Mason Flint

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance: Mason is a tall young man with sharp facial features. He appears skinny but is rather physically built. His hair is a dark shade of brown, short and ruffled if he doesn’t care to brush. Usually a quick comb through with his fingers will leave the tips spiked forward. He looks fairly young when his face is freshly shaven but seems to age whenever he lets it grow; when he does so his face is burdened with a glorious thin layer of facial hair.

Bio: Once a peaceful protester, Mason Flint was approached by a man in a prison cell. Mason had been one of many arrested during a rally protest and it was no surprise that among his cellmates lie members of the radical rebellion group, the Vox Populi. The man had snuck into the prison with a handful of others while breaking out their Vox comrades. The man freed Mason and several other non-Vox members and was not the only one to join the Vox that night. Many were thankful but did not wish to get as involved as the Vox were against the Prophet’s word. Mason, however, like a few others, wanted to show their gratitude by joining them in their cause. At this point, the Vox Populi was a small group, but they were growing in numbers quickly. Daisy Fitzroy had started getting power-hungry and was engulfed in self-righteousness. Her cause was just and, for the most part, her actions were as well. She was a fair leader, though rash. Mason, over the course of two years, had worked with Fitzroy personally on several occasions. He grew to care for her, worry about her at times. She wanted to take heavier risks, plan more direct actions. His loyalty never faltered, but as Fitzroy challenged the Founders, the Founders pushed back just as much. Known members of the group had their homes raided, their families and friends taken away for being remotely connected. It wasn’t Fitzroy that Mason was worried about, no; she did was she felt was right in order to get the working people what they deserve. Mason was worried about what Comstock would do when his Vox activities caught up to his home life. He feared for his daughter. Hoping to get off the Prophet’s radar, Mason defected from the Vox and joined the Knights of Songbird, hoping to play a part against the Founders without attracting so much attention.

Vigors/Plasmids: Murder of Crows, Bucking Bronco

Weapons: Heater, Burstgun

Faction: Vox Populi Knights of Songbird

Other: His vigor choice was meant to deal with organic enemies and is rather ineffective when used against machines or heavy armored baddies.

[rocketrobie2]

Name: Thomas Cabot II but is more commonly known as 'The Ghost'

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Appearance: Thomas is slightly transparent to the point that most fine features are unseeable such as scars or wrinkles and also is completely light green much like the possession ghost used in the possession vigor. His eyes now look to be nothing more than bright green lights but they do intact still work. Any piece of clothing that Thomas wears while in his normal out-of-body form is morphed into the transparent green colour that makes up his skin and eye colour. He usually wears a large top hat and shawl along with a white undershirt, brown suspenders and a pair of nice shoes.

Bio: Thomas's father was born in France while his mother in America. His parents met when his father went on a business trip to America and almost immediately fell head over heels for Thomas's future mother. Soon the two got married, moved in with each other and had Thomas. Thomas's mother got the opportunity of a life time when she, and the rest of her family, were offered a place as residents in the traveling fair attraction Columbia. The family immediately took to the opportunity and moved in to the floating land of Columbia. When Columbia went rouge and became its own country the family was thrilled as they loved their new home... Or so it seemed. Thomas's mother loved Columbia and everything about it but his father did not like the religious rulers of the city as he saw them as twisting what people would believe to their benefit. Thomas liked Columbia but missed looking out at the ocean and standing on solid land. As Thomas got older he began questioning things that had seemed normal to him previously like how his family was able to make money despite his fathers lack of a job and his mothers low paying job as a tailor. He asked his father about it and his father told him that he was a thief, plain and simple. Thomas was shocked as whenever he saw his dad his hands were usually pretty shaky but when his father proved it by snatching some money right from his sons pocket with him barley noticing Thomas knew that his dad was telling the truth.

His dad decided to take him under his wing and teach him about how to properly steal an object from a person pocket or how to pick a lock with the best of care. After a few years his family began raking in money now with three workers in the house. Once vigors came out Thomas saw this as the perfect way to help get in some more dough. He got the possession vigor and began testing it on various things such as birds and what not. He soon began using it on Fink vending machines and getting them to spill out their contents which included the money. Pretty soon Thomas and his family were living the good life with his parents likely to be able to retire early but then tragedy came as his father was caught trying to steal from a person who had to many connections and was shot down by the police. Thomas was heart broken and went to confront his mother to see if the news was true but when he got home his mother was gone along with all of his family's possessions. He had no idea what happened and simply broke down and cried right there on the spot. After a month or so Thomas got his own place as he couldn't afford his old home anymore and began going at the thieving game alone but he was beginning to develop a problem. Thomas began getting addicted to the Possession vigor as some would become addicted to alcohol. Thomas's vigor powers were top of the line, his skill and powers were at their peak when he came to a situation that would forever change his life. He was trying to make a vending machine cough up its coins but for some reason he couldn't muster out the familiar green ghost. A police officer saw what he was trying to do and began threatening Thomas with his gun. Thomas realized he would likely be sent to jail since he had just been caught so he decided he would simply try his luck at possession on the officer which normally worked on people but this time something unexpected happened. Thomas felt a ripping pain in himself as he literarily flew forwards and towards the officer who at the moment couldn't tell what was happening.

When Thomas was about to hit the man he instead went in him and he was now seeing the world from his eyes, hearing the world from his ears and smelling the world from his nose. Thomas smirked at his new power and he decided to begin using this power to get revenge for his father and possibly his mother. He was going to go find the Vox but stumbled across the Knights of songbird. He decided to join up with them instead as their cause was nobler and he might as well make up for the wrong he had done before doing more wrong. Though he isn't known to exist by the members he's been to many meetings of the Knights in the body of existing members but never actually influencing them.

Vigors/Plasmids: possession (operates differently than standard vigor though. See Other for details)

Weapons: Sky-hook, broadsides pistol.

Faction: Unofficial knight (shows up to the meetings but isn't actually inducted or seen doing so)

Other:
-His version of possession is different as it has more or less consumed him and mutated from its original form. Now rather than sending out a spectre to do the possessing for him he must do so himself by phasing into a living being. On that note he is currently unable to possess non living structures such as turrets or automatons. Due to his ability to phase into living organisms he is unable to physically make contact with them so hand to hand combat in a impossible feat for him unless it's with a automaton. He is also able to do a dash that goes exactly three feet in front of him but once he has dashed he can't stop and has to follow through with the dash so if he's headed for a wall he's running into that wall. His actual possession capability is different from the standard vigor as he is able to leave a persons body without making them commit suicide and that his possession isn't guaranteed to work as it depends on the willpower of the host. He is however able to inhabit a body without any trouble and just simply watch, hear and feel from that persons perspective while also being able to talk to the host.

Bam! One hot character sheet comin' up.

Lucas Adams

Name: Lucas Adams

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Lucas is a fairly young looking man. His blonde scruffy hair perpetually hidden by a brown newsboy's cap. He is incapable of growing facial hair, as denoted by his incredibly smooth skin. He is slightly pudgy, but this doesn't stop him from running around the battlefield and taking care of anyone that gets in his way. He generally has at least a few oil spots staining him or his clothes at all times. His clothes include a white shirt with a brown vest, a rag in its pocket. A red toolbelt filled with various assorted screwdrivers and wrenches hangs loosely from his slacks.

Bio: Lucas was confused by his world. When he was young, his parents had taught him to treat all nicely, yet his leader had prosecuted the minorities. He was told by his parents he would be special, yet he was a cog in the sky line maintenance machine. He decided one day, these two things had to change. Lucas needed an outlet, a way to fight his tyrannous leader, yet he was a simple mechanic, how could he resist when he contributed to the transportation of the very people he hated most? He finally found the Knights of Songbird, and promptly spent his money on a nice vigor for protection and a Paddywhacker Hand Cannon. He stole his company issue Sky Hook, and joined the Knights in an attempt to fight for what he believed in, and make something of himself. To get by he now does mechanical odd jobs in between doing things for the KoS.

Vigors/Plasmids: Return to Sender, Shock Jockey

Weapons: Paddywhacker Hand Cannon, Sky Hook

Faction: Knights of Songbird

Other: Lucas' Shock Jockey vigor was given to him by the mechanic company he used to work at before joining the Knights, along with, as mentioned in the bio, his Sky Hook

rocketrobie2 said Due to his ability to phase into living organisms he is unable to physically make contact with them so hand to hand combat in a impossible feat for him unless it's with a automaton

Bullets still hurt right? Just not physical contact. Fistacuff immunity! Since Big Daddies don't have an organic exterior would he be unable to possess them, for now at least?

[rocketrobie2]

Yeah bullets still affect him don't worry. Also any melee weapon used against him will also hurt but fists don't work against him. And for now Big daddies will not be impossible but pretty difficult as it's sorta like clothing (which he can pass through) but also like a robotic shell which he can't currently pass through.

[The Kraken]

Alright, all characters accepted. And this will be taking place in 1912 Columbia (pre-Booker) and 1959 Rapture (pre-fall)

I am going to apologize in advance right now, it is homecoming week at my university so I am very busy and will most likely not be around for around 48 hours. I will get the first post updated with characters on Sunday and we can go from there! If I'm missing anything then poke me and remind me because it's 3 AM and I in all honesty did not read every single post o.o

~Kraken

[rocketrobie2]

Hope your home comings wicked!

[dereken]

Is there still room for one more? I haven't seen anything bioshock in a while, and I'd love to join.

[Ace of Jacks]

I believe so. Last I heard Kraken is still recruiting

So far we have:
1 Big Sister
1 Little Sister
and
5 Knights of Songbird members

[dereken]

Hmm. Maybe I'll be a big daddy. Or an alpha.

Either way, I'll have my CS tomorrow, since I have class in the morning.

[dereken]

Name: Subject Gamma
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Bio: Subject Gamma came to rapture with his twin brother in 1952. Gamma was a doctor, while his brother worked as a maintenance technician. While Gamma was happy with his work, his brother was dissatisfied, and openly spoke out against Andrew Ryan. While Gamma was hesitant to join in his brother's protest, he still supported his brother, and when Gamma's brother was arrested, Gamma was arrested alongside him. Both were sent to the Persephone Penal Colony.

It was there that Gamma was turned into the creature it is today. While losing most of himself, and even forgetting his name, Gamma still has a connection to his brother, but was unable to do anything about it until very recently, when his little sister was killed. Free from his duty of protecting her, and knowing he will soon lose himself completely, Gamma has made it his final mission to find out what has happened to his long lost brother.

Unbeknownst to Gamma, his brother was taken by the scientists, and is still trapped, being tortured day in, and day out.
Vigors/Plasmids: Electro Shock
Weapons: Drill, Rivet gun
Faction: Independent
Other: Is slowly falling into a coma from sister separation. Will finally succumb when most dramatic.

EDIT: To clarify, Gamma is an Alpha, not a regular Big Daddy.
