..No Gods or Kings...Only Men..
I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose...
Rapture.
A city where the artist would not fear the censor.Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality.Where the great will
not be constrained by the small.And with the sweat of your brow,Rapture can become your city as well.
BioShock is set during 1960, in Rapture, a fictional underwater dystopian city.The history of Rapture is learned by the player through audio recordings as he explores the city. Secretly built in 1946 on the mid-Atlantic seabed, Rapture was entirely self-sufficient and powered by submarine volcanoes. Constructed by business magnate Andrew Ryan (voice by Armin Shimerman), Rapture was envisioned as the solution to what he saw as increasingly oppressive political, economical, and religious authority. The city was populated by those whom Ryan believed exemplified the best in humanity. Because it was full of the cream of mankind, there were several breakthroughs in technology in Rapture, such as the rapid advancement of genetic engineering technology, as well as the wartime invention of steampunk style upgrade stations. It was revealed in an audio log that Ryan wanted Rapture to become an "Eden," a concept furthered by the resources ADAM and EVE, which are named after the biblical inhabitants of Eden. During the early 1950s, Rapture's population peaked at several thousand, though an elite emerged, discomforting many of the inhabitants.
Before Entering Rapture You Must Choose who you will be...
( you must reserve quickly...if all the characters are taken you will be a Splicer, Little Sister or A Big Daddy...)
