Here's the OOC thread. Everyone please post a OC link there before you do anything else. kthxseeuthere

Well, here it is. Character list: Rush Marble Stripe Steel Accord Aegis Dare Silver Heart Sidon Darkstorm Splinter Birch There aren't any strict rules, just generally obvious stuff like don't GodMod, and don't mary-sue. That kinda thing.

Ziska. Definatly Ziska. I haven't even read Atlas Shrugged yet >.< That may be true, but to be fair, the only pony we've ever seen do alchemy was a zebra... ...Plus this. Sure! By the way, I'm going to need everyone to start posting OC links now. We're about to get to the point where closing submissions to reduce crowding would be a good idea. That being said, what are your suggestions?

Hmm... Fair enough! I'm convinced, let's do it. So... Any suggestions for the names, anyone? You can go now, Nigel.

I get what you're saying, and why you're saying it, but if there's no name value, it'll just seem like a pony related Bioshock spoof. I mean, there does need to be ponification, like everything you suggested in your first post, but the name doesn't really matter, except for connecting it to the original IP, even if it's arbitrary. Maybe there's a pony first name, and a Bioshock last name... Nigel! I need you to come take notes for me.

I hear 'ya. I guess the only carry-over characters will be the 100% vital ones (Ryan, Tenebaum, maybe Suchong, and Fontaine)

HOLY BUJEBUS sorry for not posting in so long! Been busy, ya know? Hmm... Maybe you should just be Sander Cohen. Seems less round-a-bout. Yeah! Send me an OC link! That shouldn't be a problem. We may start it soon though, so be quick. Your character doesn't seem bad. We could use someone like him. Less of a stuffy businesspony or scientist, or a snobby artist (not that those characters won't be great for the roleplay, flaws and all. My OC falls into the businesspony category). Just a quick question: No offence, but is English your fist language? The grammar on that page is just... eh.

Soon, soon. Just waiting for more people. Why would rush be in Rapture? I mean, I'm fine with him joining, but he has to have a reason to be there.

We're going to play as citizens on the weeks before and after the New Year's revolt. Good idea, you think?

Okay... Wow. Uh... We're doing this! This was surprisingly comprehensive. I'm gonna keep the name "Rapture" (just because it's the series' identifier) but the rest is GOLD.

Sounds like a good idea. Welcome to Rapture! Look forward to seeing you. While choosing an OC, keep in mind that Rapture was a very very top-heavy society, so not many middle-lower class citizens are living there.

Sounds great! Let's do that. I don't have a problem with you using a cannon character. I'm not going to, because I'm always afraid that I'm misrepresenting the character, but you can.

Side-mounted it is. Okay, so Steinman and Cohen both came from Manehattan. dunno where Tenembaum would come from though...

(A griffon would be great.) I think the big daddies should be NPCs. Most of the OCs will have come from the shipwreck, and I only expect one or two to actually start in rapture. I guess the drills could be head mounted, like a horn. Interesting... Anyway, same with the little sisters. Unless someone wants to wait for another OC to rescue a little sister, and take control of the filly, I don't see how a PC little sister would be feasible.

919: Griffon kingdom is in the midst of a violent revolution. Several citizens flee the country. 945: Equestria sends forces to assist in the revolution. This is an outrage to Industrialist Griffon Andrew Ryan, who strongly approved of the empire's old government. 946: Several of the worlds finest minds disappear. 955: Reports of a strange lighthouse coming from sailors. 960: Passenger ship disappears under mysterious circumstances. So, yeah. This is Bioshock 1, but with ponies, and with substantially less technology. The whole "ponification process" needs a lot of refining, (Hence; planning) so feel free to leave any suggestions as to how Rapture can be fully integrated into the mythos of Equestria. For example, I'm not sure how plasmids would be significant in a world filled with unicorns, and just naming the founder "Andrew Ryan" In the ponified version is pretty lame. One last thing; we're NOT just going to do what Atlas says the whole time. I'm going to let the OCs carry the plot, because otherwise, it'd be pretty bland and boring. RULES: 1. If you're going to use an alicorn, you better have a good reason. 2. This is primarily an adventure, not action. Most of this should be focused on the OC's interactions with each other, and Rapture. If you really need to go punch up some splicers, that's okay, but the entire RP is not going to be describing in great detail how your OC wrenches some plasmid junkie. 3. Shipping is fine, but don't overdo it. 4. NO LEMONS. Hope I don't have to explain that one. 5. Know what Rapture is, and how it works in general. Please, suggest more rules or features. So... Who's up for it?

Okay, that's cool. It'll be odd not saying "hooves" and "anypony" and the like, but it should be fine. Hey, I've got a set of "keep-the-RP-on-track" fail-safe rules if you wanna see them. They're not perfect, but I'm pretty proud of them.

Got a spot for me? I'm using Marble Stripe in my signature. I like the private school thing, but is there any particular reason for this to be a humanized RP? What will that really add?

JEBUS CRIPES I'm sorry for not posting. Medical problems kept me away from my computer for a while. Still a spot for me to poke in?

That works. I'll still have him manage a limestone shipment (or some contrived crap like that) just for the tie in.

Nah, it's fine. He's just a suit, so it's not like they'll have met each other anyway. Just don't have her work for his family quarry. That would be awkward.

Works for me. I'll tie Marble in by saying... he's a shareholder... or... something. (filler, filler, filler, filler, filler, yeah)

Marble Quarry, huh? Hmm. Wonder if she has connections to any OTHER RP characters. Maybe? Perhaps? Filler content?

Manehattan: 1:45 PM, "Batepony Mergers, Acquisitions and Shipments" Office. Marble sat in his corner office, rattling out letter after letter to various clients and companies. He had been managing shipments non-stop for the past three days, struggling to keep up with demand. He had three tons of Marble being shipped to Canterlot, two to Las Pegasus, nine cartfulls of apples from some farm town in the middle of nowhere being shipped to every major trade city in the kingdom, and he had to manage all these separately with the slow as molasses mail system. He dumped another heap of parchment into the box next to his desk. He was preparing to get up for a mid-day coffee, when his assistant opened the door. "Mister Stripe? We just received an anonymous package for you." Marble took the parcel, and his assistant left the room. He could see it glowing at the edges, and he could feel some sort of presence inside of it. "Probably another petition." he grumbled, dropping it on his desk for later. He had received several angry letters and a petition from a town down south after it received a shipment of rotten apples. Marble left the office, and headed to a nearby cafe. "I'll take a mocha, hold the cream." He ordered, having had a stressful day. he waited a moment, and the deskpony handed him his drink. "Here's your parcel." "What?" Marble asked, perplexed. "Erm... You coffee?" "Oh..." Marble replied. He must have misheard her. He paid the mare, and went back to the office. "Welcome back, Mr. Parcel." one of the office workers remarked. "Uh... My name's Mr. Stripe." Marble said, more confused than before. "That's what I said." The office drone remarked, annoyed. Marble walked toward his office at an increased rate. He didn't know what was happening, and he deemed it best to get the day over with. "Oh, Mr. Parcel! The parcel is parcel parcel..." one of his co-workers started to ramble. Marble didn't stop. He was confused and frightened. Everything around him sounded like "parcel" now. His hurried pace turned into a trot, and then a gallop. Co-workers swore and shouted at him as he ran past, completely disregarding everything around him. Marble got to his office, and snatched the package off on his desk. He tore the wrapping open to find a glowing, yellow orb inside. "What the hay..." He muttered, in awe. Then, suddenly, the orb rushed into his chest, and his hooves began to glow, and then his eyes, and then his entire body! And all of a sudden, with a flash, he was gone. 0:00 ??? "Wha- Where am I? What they hay did you do to me!?" Marble shouted, exasperated. "Calm down. All will be explained soon." ((Please ignore my lack of blue.))

In DnD, the bard can either be a musician, or a charismatic negotiator. Seeing as Marble's a business pony, it would make sense that he knows how to talk people into things. Think Fletch, or Face (A-team, yes, I spend too much time on Netflix instant view) Watch if you have the time. That kind of bard. I totally agree with this.
