Happy black history month to Marina and all the other cool black and swag video game characters (I picked the ones from the fandoms I’m in sorry if your fave didn’t appear on your post)

[arsont-t]

Hear me out, the bioshock cast but they are all working in a corporation (Andrew's) and it's a "the office" like romcom/sitcom.

BioShock/Sinking City/Vampyr: The Plan

While Andrew Ryan looks out onto the remains of his city and contemplates what his dream has become, Jack, Liz, Porter, Eleanor, Tenenbaum, Artemis, Reid, and Ashbury have a meeting to discuss their next move.

There are four factions now in play in Rapture, including their group in Minerva's Den. The most concerning of these is Orrin Lutwidge, and his hired killers, the Diamond Partners. The rumor mill says that Lutwidge is working on some big project. They are currently holed up in Arcadia, despite the fact that it's crawling with Mutants.

The dissolution of the Rapture Family saw most of its members return to their previous existence as roaming splicers, each on their own and hungry for ADAM. Most of these either became Mutants, or victims of the Mutants.

However, a good number of former Rapture Family members have created a new cult: The Church of the Son of Ryan. Based off a series of audio diaries by the late Simon Wales (Before the Lamb I-V), the Children believe that a piece of God left Him to become the Demiurge and jumpstart life on Earth and the bloody, painful process of Evolution.

After God learned of the Demiurge's actions, He banished it to the ocean. After thousands of years, Andrew Ryan came along and built Rapture right by the Demiurge's resting place. The ADAM slugs came from the Demiurge, allowing the citizens of Rapture to splice themselves and gain power, hastening the fall of Rapture. Now, with Eleanor Lamb having abandoned the Rapture Family, the members of the Church of the Son of Ryan have put their faith in Jack, that he will return to Rapture to save them.

The last and most mysterious group in Rapture is the remaining Big Sisters. They keep completely to themselves in the Little Sister Orphanages, and anyone who ventures inside is never seen again.

The end goal of Jack and Co. is to cure the remaining splicers and the Mutants, if possible, then evacuate everyone to the surface, and finally activate Rapture's self-destruct, ending the nightmare once and for all.

With the first version of SERPENT killing Mutants, Tenenbaum needs to make a new version of it that will cure them as well as the Splicers. Thankfully, she has Dr. Reid, who has been studying the new ADAM responsible for the Mutants, and also the original Thinker to aid her.

Also, rather than going through Rapture building by building and curing each Splicer and Mutant with a dart, it would be much simpler to create an aerosol version of SERPENT and distribute it throughout all of Rapture using the ventilation systems in Arcadia. Just as producing a drinkable plasmid takes ten times as much ADAM as making an injectable plasmid, so making an aerosol ADAM product uses ten times as much ADAM again!

Thankfully, through the efforts of Subject Artemis and the robotic Little Sisters, they have an absolutely disgusting amount of ADAM to work with. In fact, they have enough to not only make enough SERPENT 2.0 to cure all of Rapture, but they've got enough for Jack, Eleanor, and Porter to splice with the stronger plasmids and become every bit as powerful as Artemis is.

Their main goal is to cure Rapture's surviving Splicers and Mutants. To accomplish that goal, they will need all the help they can get to overcome Lutwidge, the Diamond Partners, and the Mutants in Arcadia to put the new SERPENT into the air supply. The plan is four-fold.

Tenenbaum and Dr. Reid will stay in Minerva's Den to work on the new SERPENT and to be the "chair guys" of the rest of Jack and Co.

While there are eight of them, Jack and Co. will need more on their side if they want to take Arcadia from Lutwidge and his people. To that effect, Jack intends on recruiting the Church of the Son of Ryan to their side. After all, he is actually there to save them. Though if things go wrong, Artemis will be there to help him.

The Big Sisters would be a great asset to their side, and as Eleanor is one herself, she may be able to convince them to aid Jack and Co. If that falls through, however, Porter will be her back-up.

And finally, they need to learn just what Lutwidge is up to. In the months prior to Jack and Co.'s return to Rapture, Lutwidge has been moving around a lot and sending his Diamond Partners out on missions all over Rapture. And yet, the Mutants in each new base haven't wiped them out. Somehow, Lutwidge is keeping them from going after him and the Diamond Partners.

To find out why, Liz and Lady Ashbury, will be going out and using their talents in stealth and infiltration to uncover Lutwidge's secrets and learn what he is planning. Neither Jack or Dr. Reid are fans of the idea, but they need answers, and the "Elizabeths" are the best they've got for the job.

After resupplying and Jack, Eleanor, and Porter splicing up to reach Artemis' level, the four groups say their goodbyes and go out into Rapture, Tenenbaum and Dr. Reid watching along with the other denizens of Minerva's Den. Andrew Ryan himself watches silently as his son goes back out into the nightmare he has created.

Someone likes this post recently and I would like to circle back and say I've changed. Both Sigma's hold a very special place in my heart.

People be out here talking about sigma, but there's only one subject sigma that will always own a place in my heart.

(but in all seriousness I am happy talon finally got a tank. I know they're the bad guys, but I love each of their members)

SO! How are we all feeling after the ending of Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den? What a surprise twist ending! All in my feels.

[vvatchword]

I do.

Have some extra context:

What is the Pearl of Great Price? Wisdom.

What is the point of wisdom in gnosticism?

What does Charles Milton Porter represent?

Why Minerva, why a computer, why the Thinker?

Given how quickly BioShock 2 was thrown together, it's kind of a miracle that anything in it worked. What's-his-name Gaynor--creative director of the DLC--knew just where to throw his effort: make the most coherent story possible. Don't worry about blowing anyone's socks off: just make something BioShock-esque. He leaned into its gnostic underpinnings. He and his team did a far better job than they had any right doing.

I think it's also worth mentioning that sometimes a character isn't supposed to be fully rounded (depending on the narrative type). Pearl and CMP are basically just symbols.

Long story short, you might be tempted to apply rules and expectations for character-driven narratives to Minerva's Den... but Minerva's Den is a gnostic allegory and it hits that shit hard and then leaves without saying a word more about it. And I respect that shit.

It's up to us here in fandom if we want some more character-driven bullshit, so please, by all means, fill in the blanks! Go work on fanfiction and fanart and comics. They cannae stop ye.

Pearl Porter is a character stuck in a weird situation and it frustrates me. For one, her death is the core motivator for Charles Porter, who, without her, practically has zero personality traits, yet at the same time if Charles didn't exist, Pearl couldn't either. She pretty much exists solely to be the protagonists dead wife that pushes him forwards, who's ending lesson being getting over her, but since she's such a nothing character you don't feel sad when she dies because you care about her, you feel sad because of how it affects a man. She's not a character, who has a personality, motivations, beliefs, and a life, she's a cardboard cutout pretending to be a character. Even then while the handling of their relationship is decent enough to make you sad, it's still shallow and doesn't go any deeper beyond what's immediately shown. Charles and Pearl don't love each other because they have personalities that go well together, or share similar interests, or relate to each other due to their experiences in life, or understand each other in a way that isn't found with anyone else, they love each other because the plot needs them to be together for it to work. They just meet and for whatever reason they immediately fall in love, and it's only sad because her death is an uncontrollable tragedy that was completely out of Charles's control, not because you actually care about their relationship. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME.

Unity and Metamorphosis

Late 1972. A small apartment somewhere in the United States of America.

---

Eleanor Lamb sits cross legged in a way that can't possibly be comfortable, reviewing documents and projects and trying to mentally organize them all. Community organizing. Supplies and funds for her sisters abroad. Schematics for a multi-program machine which could play several different games to be developed afterwards. Eleanor found herself tangled in many different ventures. So far, she'd managed success at all of them in their own given times. But it was a lot. And it was all for others. There's a knock at her door.

"Mother!" Of all the people to see on the other side of the threshold, this is perhaps the least likely. "I thought you swore never to set foot in America."

"I did. I swore a lot of things, years in the past. May I come in?" Exchanges with her mother have always been tense, since Rapture. She loved Sofia, in a way that was inextricable, despite the harm. It was the nature of things. Even after coming to doubt their relationship extending to blood. Those feelings will always temper each other. Suspicion and belief were much the same.

"Of course. I'm sorry you couldn't call ahead, I haven't had an opportunity to send you my new number." She's not ready for a guest, really, but she's very organized. The place is always presentable.

"I am aware of how busy you are, and what you do with opportunities. I have to wonder... Have you had an "opportunity" to celebrate your own birthday?" The historically ruthless and pragmatic woman who raised her... gestures to a large gift sitting behind her, colorfully wrapped and even tied beautifully with a bow. "It's not from me, before you ask, but I do approve of it."

"I-" She realizes what day it is and deflates a little, at a distinct disadvantage now. "No, actually, I haven't. Ha..."

They move inside together, and after calling to have a cake arranged, Sofia's treat, they sit, the gift between them.

"I find it ironic, Eleanor... You behave more now, of your own accord, like the utopian I wanted to turn you into. It is... Humbling. To say the least. If my pride means anything to you, my daughter, know that you have it."

"Is that why you agreed to bring me this?" She's already seen that the gift is from Charles, although it's signed by a few other people she considers close as well.

"Goodness, no. I understand the logic, but no. I'm just... trying to make the most of the opportunity you gave me. And I want to remind you to do the same yourself instead of burning out." She hands over a card to accompany the gift.

"Dear Eleanor." It reads. "Sorry I kept my work on this one from you. Thought you deserved a surprise, after everything you've done for us. Sneak peak at my real next project. I think it'll change everything. It's not ready for market yet, a little too complex. But I bet it's ready for you. I even included some extra modules for you to tinker with. Something to occupy yourself in your own time, instead of for others. Love, Charles Milton Porter."

Within the box is what looks at first like a large briefcase. But far from luggage, inside is a screen, and a keyboard. The world's first portable computer.
