MEME: Most Wanted

[citycouncil]

Darrow's Most Wanted list is a constant work in progress, and one which isn't complete at present. This meme is your opportunity to add to it in a more detailed manner.

Comment to this post with the names and canons of characters you would especially like to see in the City. Whether you're simply listing or you're posting extensive essays complete with pictorial evidence (gifs) of why these characters need to be apped, anything goes. The more, the merrier!

You want a little something for everyone? Well, let me attempt to sell you on a few tempting treats from the ridiculous underwater world of Rapture!

Do you like brilliant and devious psychiatrists determined to bring their own brand of utilitarian utopia to the masses? Someone who sounds like a caring and righteous person, but really is willing to stoop to any depth and toss anyone (including her own daughter) under the metaphoric bus in her obsessive quest for the perfect society? Let me introduce you to Sofia Lamb. (But really, can you imagine Sofia meddling in Darrow politics? Or modern social justice? I can.)

Do you like weasels? You know, the kind of guys that will tell any lie, make any deal, stab any back to get what they think they deserve? Guys who only look out for number one and aren't afraid to drown an entire section of a city to save their own asses? Then I have a deal for you, Stanley Poole's your guy!

How do you feel about tragic mothering types? The kind of woman who did everything right, everything kind, only to have life keep kicking her in the shins so hard, she turned to a cult for her last shred of hope? A woman who loved a child, but her loyalty to that child's mother caused her to turn a blind eye to the woman's lies and manipulations? You know she needs a hug, so why don't you bring Grace Halloway to Darrow so she can get one and have a life free of Rapture's crap? (Also, Eleanor has some SERIOUS unresolved issues with Auntie Grace, so that's a thing, right?)

Or maybe your tragedy runs more towards the genius-stripped-of-his-intellect types? The sort who used his mind to break down barriers, innovate technology beyond the capabilities of his time, but at the same time tragically lose the one person he cared for in all the world? Who had a loss so deep, he fled one world for another, created the first true AI, and was locked in a prison of his own body, stripped of his self until he was saved by his own creation? Then look no further than Charles Milton Porter.

And that's just BioShock 2. The OG BioShock has Ayn-Rand-run-amok-wanna-be Andrew Ryan. Con artist and gangster extraordinaire, Frank Fontaine. Psycho-Diva Broadway has-been Sander Cohen. And so - many - more. Hell, even if you want to do a temp app, I HAVE PLOT BUNNIES (so many plot bunnies).

But really, Eleanor really misses her Big Daddy, so there's that, too.
