Description: Oriannas is a slim woman, with pale white skin, and brunette, shoulder-length hair. She's stands at about 5'4". She wears a black trench coat typically, with a black shirt and jeans beneath it. Black tennis shoes complete her outfit.
Background: Oriannas was born on March 28th, 1986, though no one knows who her mother was, and hospital records have been taken by the government and declared classified. Her father has kept watch over her as she grew, as her mother was absent from her childhood. When she attended college, she acquired a major in business, hoping to get in with a big name company. She was hired into a company that had a large chain of hotels. She's been working there for four years, and now she's been asked to do something huge - go to Rapture to inspect it, to see if it's possible to be turned into a resort. She's also been tasked with taking photos for documentation of plant and animal life down there. She, of course, eagerly accepted, curious about the city.
Items:
>HP Laptop (w/ extra batteries)
>Company's Camera
>Week's Rations
>Waterproof bag
>Ammo Bag
>Black trench coat
> -Good Item- Reliable .44 Smith and Wesson Model 29 (4in. barrel). An old revolver her father owned. She's used it at a firing range several times. He gave it to her when he heard she was heading to Rapture. For safety. Hopefully she won't need it.
> -Bad Item- Painful Photo. It's a photograph of your mom. It's sort of just a reminder of all the things you didn't have or get to have in life. It's sort of painful to look at, but you're not sure why you keep it with you. Probably nostalgia.
Stats:
Body: Slim
Mind: Observant
Skill: Great Perception
Flaw: Curious

MINAMI: "I'm normal, you guys!"
TAIGA: "Poreon!"
MINAMI: "No, Taiga! I am normal! I just happen to have a pet that isn't normal..."
TAIGA: *sadly* "Vap..."
MINAMI: "Oh no, I'm not calling you- well I guess I am, but I don't mean it that way, Taiga!" *hugs the Vaporeon*
TAIGA: *purrs happily*

Name: Lily McMinn Species: Human Gender: Female Age: 24 Color: Green
Description: Lily is Scotch/Chinese, tall for her gender and Asian heritage (about five and a half feet), but mostly confined to a wheelchair due to nerve damage. She is capable of walking, but suffers muscle spasms and loss of sensation in her legs that, while rarely lasting more than a second, can (and have) cause her serious injury from falls. She is muscular and athletic, with short blue-dyed hair and light brown eyes. She wears sweat pants and a wife-beater, and carries a green zip-up hoodie in case it gets cold.
Background: Native to China, Lily, like many others, was displaced by the floods of the Second Impact. The remains of her family (Lily's mother and uncle) relocated to the UK, but not before the chaos of Post-Impact China cost Lily the effective use of her legs. In the UK, Lily mostly failed to make friends due to her abrasive personality, but managed to earn a measure of peer respect on the wheelchair basketball team. She coasted through college with B's on an athletic scholarship, and eventually joined the Paralympics, playing basketball and the summer and competing in the Biathlon (skiing and shooting) during winter. Money had never been one of Lily's strength though, so when the aug companies showed up, she found herself without the means to pay to fix her legs. Lacking any marketable skills outside athletic fields and nursing a med addiction, Lily needed something special. Something drastic. Something like ADAM.
Items:
> Sport Wheelchair
> Collapsible Crutches
> Off-brand Tablet
> Last-gen iPhone
> Three days worth of clothes
> Day-and-a-half's worth of snacks
> -Good Item- .45 Colt 1911, 15 round mag
> -Bad Item- (ilicit) Perscription-strength pain medication
Stats:
Body: Muscular
Mind: Reactive
Skill: Marksman
Flaw: wonky legs, and kind of an asshole.
Name: Choleric (AKA Chole, Eric, “Dr. Flowers”) Age: Minimum: Late-20’s Gender: Male Species: Homunculus Text colour: cranberry jello #F54D70
Physical: Very short, comes up to approximately the waist of the next shortest PC or about 3 feet in height, pale hair and age is indicated by a very nice moustache/sideburn combination, claws on each hand at the end of each finger, Homunculus mark tattooed over left eye. Background: Early: Was created as part of a course on Alchemy and pretty much grew up (as much as it applies to a Homunculus) as a resident of To-oh university, as he was growing up his belief that he was nothing more than an intelligent experiment combined with a minor god complex drove him insane, subtly so, and kick-started him on the road to villainy (whether or not this was the case is unknown, the only certain thing in this is his belief). After learning about the city of Rapture and its downfall via the campus library he decided the road power, or at least a good base lay there and set out to learn more about the place, finding out about ADAM (but not much about the stuff itself, merely the facts that it existed, more could possibly be found somewhere in rapture and that it was addictive) from an SCP foundation agent he got drunk. He managed to bluff, bribe and later drug his way onto transport to rapture by pretending to one Dr. Flowers (who is several times his height and a Poleepkwa) in order to obtain an amount of ADAM for use in his Evil Plan: Forcibly addict various important people, presidents, etc (or merely a large amount of people, depends on how much ADAM he can get his hands on), control them with a device of his own creation and TAKE OVER THE WORLD (Insert squeaky evil laughter here). Summary: Would-be independant super villain (not that anyone else needs to know that) who has come seeking ADAM for use in his evil plan. Learnt about rapture via To-oh university library, learnt about ADAM and it’s addictiveness by getting an SCP foundation agent drunk.
Items:
Good item: Proto-device for the controlling of beings addicted to ADAM. May or may-not work due to little understanding of ADAM and the probably lack of Splicers to test it on.
Bad item: Documentation of evil plan, containing among other things blueprints for a prototype Device to forcibly addict large numbers of beings to ADAM (ranging from a machine pistol firing needles to a sort of sprayer to a bomb) and a device to control said addicts, not useful aside from providing knowledge to (possibly considering the inane scribbling) make these things and outing his motives if they are found.
Other items: Big hat, coat and scarf: Hides his face and the rest of his body. Toolkit: for…doing toolkit related stuff. Hand crank powered torch: A torch powered by a hand crank. Rations: About a weeks worth. 50 note: used to bribe someone so they would believe he was Dr. Flowers (see background). Empty syringe: Was full of morphine, used to drug same person bribed with 50 note so he could get his cash back. Bag: Waterproof bag to carry all of this in.
Edit: A good flaw might be 'doesn't relate well with others', or 'clumsy' or something.

Physical description and Background: Ludwig lived an average life. UNTIL! One day, walking in the woods, he came across an old cottage that was blaring disco music. He walked in, to find this old man boppin to the groove. From this man, he learned his dancing skills, his one true strength. It is also where he got Cerebus, his two pistols. Anyways, he was walking along the highway, staring into space, when he saw Rapture, went "Hey, I have nothing to do." And went exploring.
-Backpack
--Water bottle
--Firestarting kit
--Several sandwiches.
--A first aid kit
--A portable radio and several CDs of many genres.
Good Item: Peace Necklace: His peace necklace has many fond memories of the cottage, and the old man attached... He claims it is the only reason why he can dance.
Bad Item: Cerebus: His two pistols have.. unfond memories attached. They allow him to tap deeper into 'the groove', but he gets out of touched and can't really tell what he's doing while he uses them... This has led to a few unfortunate situations.
Yes he is ridiculous. I made him backstory light because of being strapped for creativity.

With a character like this, you don't need backstory.

The character is a superbly-skilled dancer and just happens to know how to fight as well, fusing the two, e.g. Duck King, Dee Jay, etc.
The character either practices Drunken Boxing or is just really drunk.
The character is batshit insane.
I'm just going to guess the last one applies.
