[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Eleanor Lamb
FANDOM: Bioshock
CHRONOLOGY: Bioshock 2, during the events at Inner Persephone
CLASS: Hero
SUPERHERO NAME: Big Sister
ALTER EGO: Eleanor Lamb…librarian?
BACKGROUND:
(This is just full of spoilers for both Bioshock games.)
Rapture. It was a dream that could not survive, a city where the strong could be strong and the weak would be weak, and those with power would know more and more, and never want for regulation or control. It was a dream that was born to die.
And Sofia Lamb knew how to kill it.
She was brought to the great underwater metropolis by Andrew Ryan, its creator, when the people begged for a ‘psychologist’ to help them with their worries and fears. He did not realize what he was getting himself into, though. Almost immediately, she began to turn the people against him, twisting his dream of the ‘great chain of commerce’ into something different, emotional, ‘enlightened’ she would call it.
She had a daughter, Eleanor, in whom she hoped to pass her dream of Utopia. Not as a place, but as a person, a person whose only will and only desire was to serve the common good. Selfless, unwavering, driven not be a desire to better themselves but in only to better everyone else. She kept Eleanor separated from the rest of Rapture, focused on teaching her all about her ideals and philosophies, but the girl would slip away from time to time and watch the other children. She passed the time she spent alone taking apart the various machines that her mother owned, including her tape records and security machines.
When Eleanor was still young, Andrew Ryan moved against her mother and had her locked away in the prison at Persephone to keep her from spouting her ‘nonsense.’ Eleanor was given to one of Sofia’s followers, a blues singer named Grace Holloway, and this was probably the only real child hood Eleanor had. She had toys to play with, she wasn’t locked away, she wasn’t forced only to study. She even had friends.
Unfortunately, at this same time, Fontaine, a businessman and rival of Andrew Ryan, had discovered the concepts of Adam and Splicing from one of his researchers, and had begun selling the concept to all the citizens of rapture. Splicing became an addiction, the latest thing, and people all over rapture began to make significant changes to their genes and their bodies with ADAM. With these changes though, came desperation and madness, the life of a junky desperate for their next fix.
But the chemical itself was a limited resource, and so Fontaine created the Little Sister program. They would implant the creature that originally created ADAM, a special type of sea slug, inside a little girl between the ages of five and eight. They then altered the child’s mind, giving them a sense of peace and a desperate need to hunt out the bodies of dead splicers and draw the ADAM from their blood. The little sister could then drink the blood, and regurgitate it as pure ADAM again.
They used little girls out of Fontaine’s Orphanages for this, and this should have protected Eleanor from it, since she was not an orphan. Unfortunately, with Eleanor’s mother in prison, the running of her businesses and holdings had fallen to a man named Stanley Poole. Stanley was running Sofia Lamb’s little kingdom into the ground as fast as he could, and Eleanor realized it. She threatened to tell her mother, and in retaliation Poole had her kidnapped and left in one of Fontaine’s Orphanages.
She planned to escape, to find a friend she had made while she was living with Grace and steal a submarine and escape (a child’s dream, of course) but the night before she would have made her daring escape, a man named Gilbert Alexander came and took into the Little Sister program. She became one of the first Little Sisters, and was paired up with Subject Delta, part of the initial batch of Big Daddy’s. They spent over a year paired, Delta’s welfare linked directly to Eleanor’s. If she died, he died.
As this went on, the political problems within Rapture were growing. A war was brewing between Andrew Ryan and ATLAS (an alias of Fontaine’s.) By the time it ended, Ryan and Fontaine were both dead, and the city was in chaos.
Sofia Lamb used this chance to escape and take control of the city. She hunted down Delta and her daughter and used a mind-control plasmid to force Delta to kill himself. She then spent years repairing the damage that had been done to Eleanor by the Little Sister program. While the mental conditioning was reversible, they couldn’t remove the sea slug that had been implanted within her.
With the assistance of her mother and Doctor Alexander, Eleanor broke free of the conditioning. She was still kept mostly isolated by her mother, allowed only to travel through Persephone and Fontaine Futuristics, where her mother had set up her base of control for the rest of the city. Doctor Alexander assisted her with her rehabilitation, but unfortunately Sofia had other plans for the man. She’d decided to use the various Plasmid and Adam research to create her ‘True Utopian’, a person with no desires beyond the common good. When this failed, and Doctor Alexander went insane, and then physically degraded, Sofia turned her attentions to her daughter.
She believed Eleanor’s condition (the sea slug) would prevent the experiments from driving her mad as well. Eleanor was repulsed by the idea, and for the first time her mind turned to escaping rapture completely. But she knew she couldn’t do this on her own. The alterations done to her had given her the ability to connect with the new Little Sisters, and she used them to contact other people throughout the city. They managed to find the body of her ‘father’, Delta, and using the Vita Chamber technology that had originally been designed for Ryan they brought him back to life!
Delta moved swiftly through the city, with the assistance of several people, intent on finding Eleanor. He encountered many of the people responsible for his becoming a Big Daddy and Eleanor becoming a Little Sister, and spared most of them. (He did kill Stanley Poole.) Eleanor watched his progress through the eyes of the little sisters, learning from him as he went, idolizing him in a way.
Her mother put her to sleep then, drugging her and beginning the plasmid cocktails that would eventually turn her into a ‘true utopian.’
When he finally reached Persephone though, Sofia did the unspeakable…she killed Eleanor (temporarily), smothering her with a pillow. This triggered Delta’s heart to stop as well, and when they both awoke, revived, they were kept in separate chambers, injured and alone. Sofia knew that if she killed Delta violently, he would be revived again in the Vita Chambers, so she was waiting for him to simply…waste away.
Eleanor had other plans. Using the little sisters, she managed to free herself and arm herself with the uniform of a Big Sister. Using the power of the plasmids she had been given partly as a little sister and partly by her mother, she freed her father and they made ready to escape the city entirely.
It was during this escape that she was yanked away and found herself in The City.
PERSONALITY:
Eleanor is in some ways remarkably worldly, and in others painfully naive. She had to work against nearly impossible odds to free herself from her mothers control, quietly, subtly, behind the back of nearly an entire city. This has made her resourceful, determined, and completely unwilling to accept failure as an outcome. She’s very clever, can think her way through a problem faster than many people, and quickly adapts to unexpected situations.
On the other hand, she’s never really had a life. Her childhood went from sequestered by her mother, to stolen by Fontaine, and then to corrupted by the Little Sister program. She spent two years as one of the tiny ADAM gatherers, two years of which her only memories are an artificial sense of peace, an extremely strong emotional bond with her ‘father’, Delta, and a desperate hunger for ADAM.
When she was freed from the program by her mother, that freedom was punctuated by the forced suicide of her father, and then almost immediately she was subjected to massive amounts of reprogramming and deconditioning as her mother and Doctor Alexander tried to ‘fix’ her. She spent years in a daze, her only real connection to the city outside her room through the Little Sisters that still prowled Rapture.
So there are huge chunks of life she knows nothing about. Joy, discovery, friendship, romance, real happiness, she’s never had a chance to experience these things. She knows of them, of course, and she can explain them and learn to feel them, but for now they are as much a mystery as everything else beyond the ocean.
Watching her father during his journey has left her with a very strong sense of moral justice and duty. She believes that doing the right thing is the only option, that forgiveness is one of life’s greatest virtues, and that everyone can earn a second chance, no matter their sins.
On the other hand, this does not make her a pacifist. She can and has killed to protect herself, her father and her goals. She can be a ruthless fighter, cutting down a threat without hesitation and using them as an example and a warning to others.
POWER:
Big Sister: Eleanor’s Big Sister treatments and training have left her with heightened strength and speed, not quite as strong as a Big Daddy but much stronger than your average sixteen year old. She also has the ability to move easily within the confines of her Big Sister suit, and to grab onto ledges and doors and objects and use them to propel herself forward.
Plasmids: Eleanor has been injected with the Telekinesis 3, Inferno 2 and Stable Teleport plasmids.
Telekinesis 3 - Allows her to lift one object the size of a man, or three or four smaller objects, and hurl them through the air/draw them to herself.
Inferno 2 - She can create three fireballs and hurl them at her enemies.
Stable Teleport - A high energy, short range burst teleport that causes the air around her to ionize when she uses it. She can teleport herself and one other person, provided they are not very big.
Gene Tonics:
Blood Memory - Eleanor can absorb memories by injecting other people’s blood into her body.

COMMUNITY POST (FIRST PERSON) SAMPLE:
[Voice]
[There is the sound of the ocean, or perhaps the bay, in the background before Eleanor talks. Her voice is calm and clear, she doesn’t have her helmet on, and the faint tints of what might be an Irish accent can be heard in her words.]
I don’t understand why it had to be then. Another hour, another twenty minutes even and father and I would have escaped, we would have been free of mother and that wretched city. But now he’s back there, alone, and he needs me.
Father is very strong but he is not strong enough, even with the little ones helping him they will not be able to escape Persephone without me. And instead…
Instead I am here. In this city. I never imagined I would be angry the first time I saw the sky…
There has to be a way back. I have too much to do there, and there’s nothing for me here.
LOGS POST (THIRD PERSON) SAMPLE:
Rapture was drowning.
Literally and figuratively the city was in its death throws. After twenty-five years, the splicers and the ocean had finally killed it, and now they were just waiting around for it to collapse.
But Eleanor was not going to stick around to see it. “Quickly father, this way!”
She raced through the tunnels of Persephone Prison, her father close on her heels. Her mother had blown out the ballast tanks on the prisons escape pod, but Eleanor had a plan to boil the water away using her powers, and the powers of the Little Sisters that were still held captive in the prison. They were on their way to free them now.
Unfortunately, her mothers followers were not making it easy. As she rounded a corner a fireball rushed passed her head, she felt the heat even through the thick diving helmet she wore, and she hissed in irritation. At the far end of the hall a splicer stood, his hands engulphed in flame as he prepared another fireball. Two more splicers stood behind him, armed with tommyguns.
“Just try to keep me from my sisters! Please.” She hissed out the words, hurling herself down the hallway. She ducked under a fireball, felt a bullet bounce off the side of her helmet, and then leapt up into the air, an arcing strike, dropping down towards the three splicers. The one whom had thrown the fireball suddenly vanished in a flare of red, a Houdini splicer, so Eleanor adjusted her aim and landed hard, plunging the ADAM spike on her wrist through the left splicers chest. He gurgled as he dropped his gun, and she wrenched him off the ground, slamming him bodily into the second and sending them both crashing to the floor, dead or unconscious.
Her father lumbered up behind her and she paused to look over, smiling faintly at him through the front of her helmet, despite the rush of adrenalin and anger. “Keep going father, I’ll find the other one.”
As Delta continued on, Eleanor moved quietly through the hallways, searching for the teleporting splicer. She found him crouched behind a cabinet in the next open room, rubbing his hands together and muttering to himself. As she looked at him through the door, he seemed…familiar, somehow. Suddenly, memories from the little sisters she had touched flared into her mind.
Images of the man taunting the girls as they moved through the prison, separated from their Big Daddy protectors. Threatening them, taunting them, only prevented from injuring them because he knew what Lamb would do. But always skirting the edge, always wanting to do something terrible to the little girls.
Eleanor kicked the door open and stalked into the room. The splicer lurched to his feet, raising his arm to throw another fireball at her but she grabbed at him with her telekinesis, yanking him off his feet and dragging him across the room. He gibbered and begged as he slid through the air, holding his arms out as if trying to push himself backwards. “We remember you,” she growled, and stabbed upward with her spike, straight through his heart. She let him hang there, kicking and screaming, until he stilled and she dropped him in a pile on the floor.
Two other splicers had entered the room, standing nearby, both armed, and she pointed at the corpse in front of her. “This one died alone and afraid. Stand in my way and you’ll get the same.” Her voice was loud but even, it was not a threat but a certainty of what was to come if they continued into the room.
The two splicers exchanged looks, then turned and ran back the way they had come. Eleanor couldn’t help but smile to herself, watching them go, and then she too turned, bunching up her muscles and moving off to catch up with her father.
FINAL NOTES ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:
There is a sea slug implanted inside Eleanor that constantly produces a substance called ADAM. While it probably won’t ever come up, it can be used to create the plasmids and gene tonics from Bioshock. So I’m listing it here in case it is useful in a plot or something later on.
