* FantasticDrugs: Central to Rapture's downfall were the drugs Chestnut and Peach, revolutionary yet ''extremely addictive'' mutagenic Plasmid technology. Developed from an exotic species of sea slugs found next to an underwater canyon full of mysterious luminescent biomass, Chestnut and Peach allowed consumers to rewrite their own genetic makeup and give themselves mystical abilities without any limitations. Unfortunately, public acceptance of the drugs -- combined with the complete lack of governmental regulation -- caused the populace to devolve into crazed Chestnut-addicted Splicers, and led to amoral scientists preying on young fillies to create the Little Sisters, living Chestnut factories with sea slugs implanted in their stomachs and brainwashed to harvest residual Chestnut substances from corpses.

* AdaptationNameChange:
** The Big Daddies of the ''VideoGame/BioShock'' series were renamed "Big Brothers" here.
** The drugs ADAM and EVE were renamed Chestnut and Peach, respectively, after the Codexverse's antediluvian, mythological ancestors of modern Ponykind, Chestnut and Queen Peachy/Rhodonite Mirror.
* FalseUtopia: Much like ''VideoGame/BioShock1'''s Rapture, the Codexverse's Rapture is this. Founded by Strong Rye Field, Rapture was intended to be a laissez-faire utopia free of both religious and government interference of any kind, where any citizens are free to propser for his or her own gain without hinderances, united only by a "Great Chain" of industry. Unfortunately, Rapture fell apart ''because'' there was no interference to keep it in check -- [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt businesses]] ruthlessly exploited the common folk, scientists performed horrific experiments ForScience, [[MadArtist deranged artists]] pursued depraved fields of art and performance, and during it all, a stallion named "Atlas" took advantage of the situation to plunge Rapture into CivilWar. Things went FromBadToWorse once the {{Fantastic Drug}}s, Peach and Chestnut, were introduced, creating horribly mutated Splicers along with the heavily cybernetically-grafted Big Brothers and their charges, the Chestnut-producing Little Sisters. It got so bad that various nations voted to have Rapture destroyed once information about it was leaked to the public, feeling the costs of keeping it around ultimately outweighed the benefits.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: In theory, Rapture was supposed to be an Objectivist utopia where all Ponies can seek freedom in all ventures (especially business ventures) without fear of being oppressed by outside forces, and the "bright and powerful" will be completely unhindered by the "small". In truth, the lack of even self-restraint corrupted Rapture into a CrapsackWorld plagued with all kinds of problems, leading to its ultimate destruction by world governments who initially wanted to salvage what was left, yet deemed it too troublesome to benefit from in the long run.

Rapture (first introduced [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/872587897/4979431076 here]]) was an underwater city built in the Second Age by billionaire Strong Rye Field. Rapture, as originally intended by Strong Rye Field, was in theory an Objectivist utopia where any Pony seeking it are free to pursue their own self-interests without being hindered by outside interference, or the needs of others.
