Description
READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU CREATE YOUR CHARACTER PAGE:

Name - Please include the full name of your character here; you may put nicknames in quotes following your first name. Try not to use last names of the major characters in the Bioshock games, since even if your character shares the same last name, they will not be related in anyway.
Date of Birth - The date of this roleplay is 1970, so think about the age you wish your character to be, and put the calculated date of birth here. Remember this is Rapture, which I think is rated M or something...well, anyway...you know, Rapture is Rapture. Please try to make your character AT LEAST 17 years old by the time of the roleplay, unless you can persuade the admins otherwise.
Gender - Hopefully this is self-explanatory...
Eye Color - Please include your character’s original eye color here. If it has changed since splicing, include the color in parenthesizes.
Hair Color - Please include your character’s original hair color here. If it has changed since splicing, include the color in parenthesizes.
Occupation - This is where you will list the occupation your character held while Rapture was still functional. If your character was a child during this time, write N/A. If your character came to rapture after the fall, list the occupation they held while on the surface.
Primary Plasmid - Every member starts with one plasmid (from the main games; but not plot-related plasmids) plus a standard melee weapon that you can find in the Bioshock 2 Multiplayer (plus similar items, like a baseball bat; but do not list that here). Note that all players start with level 1 plasmids and will acquire higher levels plus other plasmids with ADAM earned from group events. Ranking officers of the group will start with higher-level plasmids and weapons. You will not need to buy plasmid slots.
Primary Gene Tonic - Every member starts with one gene tonic (from the main games). Note that all players start with level 1 gene tonics and will acquire higher levels plus other tonics with ADAM earned from group events. Ranking officers of the group will start with higher-level gene tonics. You will not need to buy gene slots.

Note -- Also, I know there are valid reasons why after so many years after Rapture’s fall that your character would have multiple plasmids, tonics—not to mention higher level ones, and perhaps more ADAM to spare—but this is so characters start at the same level, and it will give your character room to grow.

History - This is the most important section! Please tell us why your character came to rapture. Considering the nature of Rapture, we understand that they either had talent or drive, but please remember your character is not a god or goddess, NOR were they important to the events of Bioshock or Bioshock 2. After all, it is NOW the time for them to shine. Naturally, they were affected by those events, and maybe even participated in some of the earlier civil war fighting, but they were not a major player. Below is a VERY basic timeline, which will hopefully help you plan a little bit of your character’s background and age.

November 5, 1946 - Rapture is open to citizens (but it was not officially finished until late 1951).
December 31, 1958 - The New Year’s Eve Riot that led to the downfall of Rapture.
1960 - The events of the first Bioshock game
1968 - The events of the second Bioshock game
1970 - The events of this roleplay

If your character came to Rapture after its fall, it means that they have to have genetics “in the ballpark” of one of the members of the council at the time of the fall of Rapture in order to access the Bathysphere (at least according to the Bioshock Wiki). However, your character will be related to one of the unknown members, and even still not that close of a relative.

Psychological Profile - This is where you will explain the personality of your character. In order to be more realistic, it will be expected that they have a few screws loose, especially since these are SPLICERS we are talking about. If your character is new to rapture, we do not expect you to be as crazy as the ones who have been here a while, although to survive you will have to splice up...unless you can convince the admins otherwise.

I sort of suggest you taking a look at the Bioshock Wiki since it has a ton of great information about the game, that will help you shape your character. I will admit, I am not a total expert on the game and will probably need to correct myself many times, so it will be a great resource for ALL of us. But be warned that it is the interwebs and there are viruses out there.

Also Note:

All characters will initially start with 0 ADAM—it will be explained in the introduction event, even if he or she is the kind of splicer who collects ADAM.

No photographs will be permitted since these are OC characters and not yourselves or another existing person.

If you use a “pre-spliced” picture for this application, this is the only instance you will also need to include an additional reference picture of what they look “spliced-up.” (Note, you can be creative and make the picture for this application blurry, as if someone was trying to capture a picture but failed...but eventually a reference picture of how they look currently would be needed so artists can use your character in their deviations).
