Got anymore ADAM there?; The Splicer's profile
Topic Started: October 18, 2011, 12:40 am (300 Views)
The Splicers

you;
name; Lost, Tali, Axel, Kanda. Whateves.
contact information; PM~
other characters; Tali’Zorah nar Rayya, Yuu Kanda, Jack Ryan, and Tyurru.

basics;
name;The Splicers
age; Unknown
occupation; Splicing
race; Splicer (formerly human)

in depth;
appearance; Splicers look like mentally degraded human beings. Then mutated from the deterioration to something humanoid, but not human at all. Their masks and clothes molded to their skin and their muscles deteriorated to barely hold their skin in place, and their bone structure changed some. There are many different types and looks for Splicers, so I will merely show their pictures, because to describe each and everyone would be a waste of both our time. A picture is worth a thousand words, and since there are no great pictures of Splicers in-game, you get concept art! (Which I prefer, actually.)

Also, each of these different kinds also go into different classes. Except for the Brute is a Brute splicer, but everyone else can either be a Thuggish Splicer, Leadhead Splicer, Spider Splicer, Houdini Splicer, or a Nitro Splicer. These are defined by how they attack. I will post a picture of just a random one, point out the details that make them them, and how they attack. Note: This is mainly for the weapons, so Houdini Splicers, using plasmids, do not have anything special about them. A picture is provided just to make it complete.

Also, I'm going to add in a 'special Splicer', as in a character, but he is a Splicer, and will do Splicer things with the Splicers even though there will be no one like him. His name is Sander Cohen. I will reference him as such. Sander Cohen is short, and always wears an expensive, fancy suit. Except for the fact that the suit is ragged and covered in blood. He wears the make up of one in a silent picture, with black make-up around the eyes, and the white make-up on his face. He also has a french mustache that curls up at the ends. He has short dark hair, and it is always slicked back.

  • Thuggish
    Spoiler: click to toggle


    Attacks with melee weapons, fairly weak. Run fast and attack in groups. Immune to all electrical damage.
  • Leadhead
    Spoiler: click to toggle


    Attacks with either a pistol, machine gun, or shotgun. Will always keep their distance, but at close range they will attempt to pistol-whip the target. They have to reload their guns, and are defenseless when doing so.
  • Spider
    Spoiler: click to toggle


    Can crawl on the chilling and throw hooks at the player from afar. When on the ground, it will get near enough to physically attack the target, then immediately jump onto the ceiling or backflip away and come at them from another angle. Agility makes them difficult to hit.
  • Houdini
    Spoiler: click to toggle


    Ability to teleport in the middle of combat. Tracked through a cloud of smoke that appears around them whenever they do so. Attack by shooting balls of fire and ice, and will attack physically when at close range. Hit and run tactic.
  • Nitro
    Spoiler: click to toggle


    Attack by throwing grenades and molotov cocktails. At melee range, they will either throw a smoke bomb, or they will attempt to flee, tossing an explosive over their shoulder or attempting to kick the target. Upon dying, they drop a live grenade.
  • Brute
    Spoiler: click to toggle


    If the target is at a distance, they will throw nearby objects at the player. If there are no objects or if the target moves to melee-range, they will perform a charge, temporarily disorienting the target. At melee-range, they will punch the target, and the punches are like being punched by an elephant. If the target is at a different elevation than them, they will jump up or drop down, catching up with the target.

personality; Each Splicer actually has a unique personality, but I can boil them all down into two words: Batshit Insane. Bat shit is not one word? It is now.

Want specifics? Fine. Read on, you reader you.

Baby Jane; These Splicers came to Rapture to make it in show business, but you can see how that turned out. So these Splicers lament their lost good looks and is hung up on her career, or lack of one.

Breadwinner; These Splicers came to Rapture to get rich, and is sure that Rapture’s collapse is only a small problem on his road to riches.

Dr. Grossman; These particular Splicers are just dying to give anyone they see surgery. Not to mention they are also very bad doctors that have accidents. They only became doctors in the first place to cut into people, and are germaphobes.

Ducky; Very paranoid Splicers, these Splicers used to be part of security.

Lady Smith; Upper class matrons, she often threatens to punish naughty people and makes racist remarks.

Toasty; These Splicers fancy themselves as very attractive ladies men, and are disturbed at their disfigurement.

Pigskin; Were athletes, pressured into splicing to splicing by their coaches. They are from various teams, Stingers, Sea Bulls, Ryan’s Raiders, and The Atlas Astros. They are the most stable of the Splicers, and actually have some sense of what is actually happening to them. The isolation because of the war has left them homesick, and they hope their parents will find them.

Rosebud; Are female factory workers looking for their lost children, who was probably turned into a Little Sister. She often sings a (terrible) rendition of Amazing Grace, and views normal people as monsters.

Waders; Are some of Raptures many religions fanatics, despite the atheist orientation imposed by Ryan. He screams about God, and God seems to be punishing him, but he doesn’t know why.

Buttons; They have an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and thus over-thinks logic and equations, and will kill for the solution.

Crawler; Have the most mental problems of any other Splicer. Suffer from insomnia, delusions, and others from splicing. They think everyone else is responsible for the voices in their heads, and killing them is the only way to end the torture.

Heady; Are working female Splicers. They take their work very seriously, and have no time for emotion. They also appear to have daddy issues.

Brute; Have no fear of defeat, because they are so big. Also appear to be homophobic. However, they seem to be gay, for when under the hypnosis plasmid, they warm up to male ‘allys’.

Unknown; A loyalist to ‘Great Chain’ ideology (an extreme communism), they are gruff and abusive. They are intent on getting the job done. *ORBIT GUM* No matter what.

Sander Cohen; He is an artist. To every extent of the word. He changed his mood at the drop of a hat and is very particular, people, books, whatever, his view of anything is subject to change at any moment. He love murdering and pain, viewing it as the perfect form of art. He hold grudges, and will do anything to erase those who he deems unworthy, or have dishonored him. He calls those who do not understand his art doubters, and if those doubters are too prevalent, he will dispose of them. He is willing to make an apprentice out of those who suck up and kiss his ass, but if they displease him, he will turn them into art.

history; Splicers were once normal blokes, like you and me. Then ADAM was discovered, and all of Rapture was in a rush to splice their genes to be their own ideal person. Unfortunately a side effect of using a lot of ADAM is the fact that ADAM stem cells break down eventually, being highly unstable. So one must begin splicing more and more just to maintain a normal look. Normal folk did not have the money to keep up the habit, and so their body and mind began degenerating. As the body degenerated more over time, they began to look inhuman and grotesque, and their minds sinking deeper into insanity.

Sander Cohen's history before Rapture isn't in detail. After he arrived, he became an important artistic figure in Rapture. He was in charge of Fort Frolic and owned several art galleries across Rapture, and produced several albums and theatrical shows. He was one of Andrew Ryan's most trusted supporters, and he was granted the honor of writing Rapture's anthem, "Rise, Rapture, Rise", and helped the design of Ryan Amusements. After the fall of Rapture, Cohen went insane partly because of ADAM and out of frustration for the lack of appreciation for his art after the Civil War.

He had four known disciples: Silas Cobb, Martin Finnegan, Hector Rodriguez, and Kyle Fitzpatrick. All of them either betrayed or displeased Cohen at some point, and he had Jack Ryan kill them and photograph their dead bodies as art before he would grant him passage through Fort Frolic.

finishing up;
roleplay sample; Tali's.
member title; BWAHAHAHA.
anything else; Splicers are controlled by hormones by the one who controls Rapture. They also have free-thought, so they can also follow the one that they choose. Both of those positions are filled.

Sander Cohen is special because his domain is Fort Frolic, and cannot be controlled by whoever is in charge of Rapture. He controls the entry and exit of this area, and the Splicers (for the most part) in the area. He also has more degree of thought than most Splicers, but not by much. Some of his 'art' is alive, as well. Those are Splicers he's covered in plaster that are living. They move, and will literally dance-fight you. Cohen is a Houdini Splicer.
