tl;dr girl's got problems

Name: The Traveler/Big Sister | [personal profile] screeee
Race: Genetically modified human (incidentally, by something called 'ADAM' which is fuelled by EVE)
World Information: Bioshock (There's Something in the Sea) | A timeline of Rapture (which covers Bioshock 1 and 2 *u*;) (also this relates more directly to the Traveler, at least in terms of what she is.)

Summarize- It's Earth, but
- A super objectivist guy managed to found a city called Rapture at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean ruled by the free market and the great chain and 'no gods no kings only man' and blah blah stuff that went over my head when playing the games.
- More importantly, with no governments to regulate things like safety and quality and human rights, this thing called 'ADAM' is developed, which basically rewrites your cells! It also mutates/kills/etc your cells too, so if you can't keep up with your splicing and ADAM doses you mutate and go crazy. ADAM was produced by sea slugs, but production rates were much higher if these sea slugs where implanted in the stomach lining of little girls, and then further ADAM could be gained by having these girls run around drinking the blood of dead ADAM users and 'recycling it'. For some reason.
- other plot stuff happens but that doesn't matter because that's protagonist business, and Big Sister is something like a miniboss or somesuch. Basically she's an ADAM gathering girl, but is a little warped and superpowered herself from absorbing some of that ADAM she drank and produced.
- I kind of strayed off point, which is: Earth, technically speaking, but Traveler's come from a place with 'no gods no kings only man', so...

Personal Information: Here's her app!

As stated above she's a grown-up-gatherer. She takes orders from a much nicer leader named Sofia Lamb, and if those orders happen to be 'kidnap children from the surface so we can put sea slugs in them', then that's what she does.

However, she does seem to bond with one of the girls she brings down - or maybe the efforts of her father to get his daughter back grabs her curiosity - but she ends up sending messages from the daughter to her dad, and kind of leads him on a hunt for Rapture. That's gotta break some rules, but she does it anyway.

Issues to Be Explored: oh man where do you start
- Well uh she's a little girl who was brainwashed into stabbing corpses with a needle and drinking the fluids, so, she has some problems there.
- But primarily, she's concerned with people abandoning things/people they're supposed to protect, and while she hasn't gotten close enough to anyone here to be hurt by their leaving her, if things get to that point, uh, there'd be that, too. She herself was abandoned by her protector when she grew up, and that's still a sore point for her. As she realizes she can't get out of Wonderland, she's going to get hard on herself for essentially abandoning her charge, even if it was involuntary.
- She's also really really bad at handling her emotions. She tends to express them... Violently. Granted, they're mainly anger or sorrow, but...
- She's still got something of a childlike mind under that pointy metal and emotional volatility. Including a sense of curiosity! So y'know, if she saw Aslan she wouldn't react immediately with violence, just saying.

Religious Affiliation: nnnnmmmmmhmmmmm technically, none. Comes from a place that sort of villainizes religion (and government and i guess altruism too).

Plot: We-e-ell, when I said she took someone's daughter and passed messages to their father, yeah, that was Mark Meltzer, who is also in Wonderland. From her canon point, Mark was down in the undersea city, so when she saw him on the surface, she was not happy. Presently she's trying to get him to go back to the underwater city, having not quite grasped that they're in a different world entirely.
So that's working itself out. IDK if Aslan could/would/should get involved? But that's a thing going on if Aslan wants to talk to someone involved about it.
Stipulations: Can Aslan mention any of the above information publicly?
Iiiiii'd hold off on telling everybody about Traveler's origins and past, but if certain people ask he can give them some hints? He can talk about her, but he can't give the whole thing away, if that makes sense? I'm working at revealing the 'she used to be a little sister' thing at my own pace, but once that's in the open it's fair game. Everything other than that is ok to talk about!

Tagging: Yes please!

slkdhja;lkshg this was too freaking long, but if you have questions or want me to summarize something clearer I could do that yes. ;u;'
