History WMG / Bioshock

The bulky suit would easily conceal their body shape (even assuming it remained in any recognizable form underneath)and every known model of Big Daddy has had their face concealed. The vocal chord surgery also makes it impossible to recognize their voice as male or female. Furthermore there's never any particular reason given why only men can go through the proceedure.

[[WMG: Eleanor did not re-key the Vita-Chamber to Delta, she it into thinking Delta was Jack]]

The wiki also mentions that they were in the trial period and only attuned to Andrew Ryan and his relatives at the time, and though they were a common sight, they had not advanced enough to revive other people,and would only revive trama induced death.So by the time the first game came around, he was probably to parinoid to key in anyone else.

Atlas himself can not get around this, and it would seem no one else knows enough to replicate the effects of the chambers. So if they are not really well known, and no one knows how they work how does Eleanor learn enough about them to hack them? Why does Sophia know about them as well, I should also probably ask. If the rapture poupluance knew, they would deffinatly be trying to hack them for their useage. Unlike, security cameras, the protections on those would have been pretty high, and hard to hack,along with being remotely connected and capable of teleporting things, making it hard to exparament because too much tampering would have put them on alert. So there is room for error.

So the chamber assumed Delta was Jack, and thats why the player can play as Delta, we never left the old mindset.

[[WMG: The slug is useable on girls because of how their brains are designed]]

Additionally, little boys have more testosterone when their born, though the level drops until they hit puberty, but is still a lot more then girls. Its possible the testosterone in boys is repellant to them, making the girls the more attractive hosts.

* Just posted in ItJustBugsMe where someone else had a similar idea. Short story: nah. One of Tenenbaum's diaries explains that the Little Sister needs to regurgitate the ADAM-laced blood/goo/whatever in order to mass produce it. Judging by us not seeing [[{{Squick}} Big Daddies molesting their Little Sisters]] in order to get the ADAM out of them, we can safely assume that that's one place the slugs most certainly aren't.

* Agreed. To the troper who made this WMG (whose name has, sadly, disappeared from the edit history), I award you a MadeOfWin.

* We just don't hear it because Jack is supposed to be a HeroicMime. Remember in the audio log? Of course Jack didn't want to kill the puppy, but think about it; how did Fontaine immediately know that Jack disobeyed him? ''He didn't say the code phrase back.''

* He wouldn't have a very difficult time returning, as time travel is a fairly regular occurrence in ''Franchise/StarTrek''. As for his motives, remember that his brother Rom became Nagus and the Ferengi were already undertaking a number of reforms to their society. Rom would probably continue on this course and make Ferengi society more like the Federation way of life, and strengthen relations with the Federation. After all, he was specifically selected by Zek because he wasn't a traditional profit-centric Ferengi like Quark. Consider the effect this would have on Quark; he would watch in horror as his own brother destroyed everything about Ferengi society that Quark had believed in and built his life around. So, Quark decided to get revenge on humanity by trying to ensure that humanity never abandoned capitalism.\\

[[WMG: ''[=BioShock=]'' shares the same universe as ''Franchise/MetalGear''.]]

** Thinking about this, a few of the characters in Franchise/MetalGear could have their abilities explained by features of [=BioShock=]. [=MGS3=] for example: Volgin has an electroshock plasmid, The Sorrow can see ghosts through ADAM exposure, The Pain uses an insect swarm plasmid, The Fear is a spider splicer with a natural camouflage gene tonic, The Fury is a modified Big Daddy...

[[spoiler:Another reason why it only works on little girls? Because their uterus still contains rich sources of nourishment, but the slug isn't yet disturbed in its new home by the onset of puberty; mainly, menstruation. When they hit puberty and begin to shed their uterine lining, the slug becomes hostile to the changing environment and the resulting reaction drive the hosts mad with aggression, which is why they are made into Big Sisters to cope. The reason boys aren't suitable slug hosts is because they don't have one.]] And now I'll go [[SayonaraZetsubouSensei make myself taller]] for ruining this fandom with my horrible mind. Apologies!

Alternatively, after escaping, he falls into a deep sleep. There he continues mutating until he becomes a completely inhuman EldritchAbomination. He (or "it", now) unconsciously mutates all the Splicers so much that they take on entirely new Lovecraftian forms and think that they're an ancient alien race. [[XCom Then they found a city called T'Leth from the ruins of Rapture, and many decades later, emerge on the surface to do battle with soldiers that can somehow throw grenades underwater.]]

** We aren't looking at this closely enough; the Big Daddies aren't who the equipment was designed for. It started out as maintenance equipment, and was co-opted by the Bigs, who are ''sick fucking bastards, by the way,'' to help them "protect" the innocent girls that they mind control and turn into ADAM processors. Like a lot of horrible things, this wasn't part of the plan originally, but became institutionalized when it went out of control. Which is why we see infrastructure dedicated to Big Daddies and Little Sisters.

The HealingFactor provided by the ADAM slug in his stomach is why he is able to stay along [[WMG/TimeLord J]][[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld a]][[BadassBookworm m]][[GeniusBruiser i]][[{{Badass}} e]] for so long without turning into chunky salsa. This fact, combined with the Little Sister mental conditioning and exposure to ImpressivePyrotechnics led to [[MadBomber an unusually deep fascination with rapid pressurized disassembly of large objects]].

* ''[=BioShock=] 2'' even had an Instrumentality plot.
* When the Little Sisters talk of ADAM-infected Splicers being Angels, they weren't being delusional. They were actually almost Angels, having consumed ADAM's blood. Perhaps Rapture is a SEELE experiment and Ryan and Fontaine were manipulated by them, until both went rogue ala [[spoiler:Gendo]]. The knowledge for alien sciences to construct an underwater city is based from the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, the Splicers and consumers of ADAM didn't turn into [[{{Instrumentality}} Tang]] or [[spoiler:[[BiShonen Kaworu]]]], because they consumed the mass-produced low-quality version that only resulted in [[MindScrew insanity]] and ugly disfigurement. It would be further into the future where one could perfect the best host for both cultivating both ADAM and Lilith in the same entity: [[spoiler:the Evangelions and Rei]].

** Well, there's already been a [[BatmanArkamSeries game like that...]]

*** And the accompanying MiracleOfSound songs will end with "...and I dream of the earth..." and "...and I dream of the sun".

**** The other take on the "Fifth Element" Aether, fits there too.

* ''Bioshock 2'' even had an Instrumentality plot.

Bioshock 3 will be set at some point in the early-to-mid seventies, with Rapture's food/water/ammo stocks near zero and the overwhelming bulk of its population too far gone to make more. Most of the Splicers will have become cannibalistic and some of them will be mutated to the point of being barely recognizable as human. Additionally, Rapture continues to decay and large parts of it will be increasingly submerged as the Big Daddies cannibalize the architecture for parts to fix the salvageable areas.

[[WMG: The Tommy Guns used by the Leadhead Splicers in ''Bioshock 2'' are modified]]

He ultimately became a Houdini splicer so he could get around faster. By the time Bioshock takes place, he's gotten used to his prosthetics and can walk well enough, but his mobility used to be so limited that, if he ever tried to jump, he'd just fall flat on his face--hence his poem that "when I hop, I never get off the ground." Fitzpatrick openly made fun of Cohen for the loss of his legs, so, after going [[EvilCripple completely insane]], Cohen plastered Fitzpatrick's legs to the piano bench as poetic justice.

[[WMG: 2 Jack and Eleanor are the Protagonist and Antagonist of Bioshock 3]]

[[WMG: The Cohen's Laughter and Scherzo Easter Egg in Bioshock 2 is really...]]

The wiki sais "The Vita-Chambers are still functional during the events of BioShock 2. The protagonist, Subject Delta, is revived in a Vita-Chamber at the beginning of the game after he had been killed 10 years earlier. This is accomplished when a Little Sister, acting on behalf of Eleanor Lamb, re-keys the Chamber (and thus the entire Vita-Chamber network) to correspond with Delta's genetic code signature."

* Possibly more popular, as BioShock 2 isn't that well-recieved compared to the original.

2. While Cohen is [[CaptainObvious clearly]] [[MadArtist insane]], he appears to be ''relatively'' well grounded (for a splicer, of course). So while he occasionally freaks out and kill people if he feels they [[MadArtist don't appreciate his work]], he often retains his composure and is alert and lucid, unlike like most citizens of Rapture, completely lost in their own little worlds, aimlessly wandering the corridors muttering their respective {{Madness Mantra}}s to themselves.

Atlas himself can not get around this, and it would seem no one else knows enough to replicate the effects of the chambers. So if they are not really well known, and no one knows how they work how does Eleanor learn enough about them to hack them? Why does Sophia know about them as well, I should also probably ask. If the rapture poupluance knew, they would deffinatly be trying to hack them for their useage. Unlike, security cameras, the protections on those would have been pretty high., and hard to hack,along with being remotely connected and capable of teleporting things, making it hard to exparament because to much tampering would have put them on alert. So there is room for error.

If it were really that easy and they were that well known, everyone would be trying to do it. The non spliced at least. The properties of the chamber were probably not that well known, or easily hacked, and their purpose was not clearly explained to the people, marketed as a therapy\relaxation device.
