Booker quotes

This is a story set within my Bioshock Rebirth AU. A reimaging/reboot of the Bioshock franchise. https://geekgemsspookyblog.tumblr.com/post/626141727587270656/bioshock-rebirth-timeline-this-is-a-timeline-of-an Just as a heads up if anyone is wondering about the context. I’ve had some stories in my drafts for a long time now and I’m finally publicly sharing them.

Kind of like the Atlas quotes in a way. First showed these to @pikablob and @feckinatlas and another friend. Let me just say Booker is such a weird character to me. It’s also the fact I consider him the worst protagonist in the series.

Originally Booker in this AU was much worse. Such as disowning Elizabeth and other stuff. But I felt like overtime like....I dislike his character. I felt like I was being too hard on him or that....was worried of being a man hater. But I felt like I being I guess a bit much. Especially I wanted to change some things because of seeing people do like his character. But this is likely because some of the art that made me think that was when Infinite wasn’t out yet. And/or it was still fresh in people’s minds. 

One or still the take about Booker in this I’m being critical of the protagonist that’s a grown man who’s a gray character or all that. But I think it seemed to go away from that. Including.....he’s still an asshole. But he’s some how not worse than his main universe counterpart. He still did shitty things. 

It’s just overtime I guess I got more inspired by Killzone’s Radec. Including I think back to The Last Of Us’s Joel Miller. He’s basically Archie if rage had consumed him or just didn’t care about life. 

I think my biggest achievement even learning from my friends. Is that some how this Booker was more interesting and better than his original counterpart. Tags done with. Will admit I don’t know if I got his personality down right. That I recall I do still try to imagine Troy Baker using his Booker voice. Despite I have wondered if he should try to disguise it in some way. But you still notice it’s him.

If I recall I basically wanted to write him saying boy scout and I forgot, maybe Atlas’s dog too. XD

“This is Captain Dewitt to all of Ryan’s troopers. The so called, “Alpha Parasite” that Ryan likes to call him appears to be an American soldier. Capture or kill him. As he is now working for Atlas. The man appears to be in his 20′s and is considered to be very dangerous. Approach with caution.”

“This is Captain Dewitt to all of Ryan’s troopers. From what we have learned. Atlas’s dog is a US Army Ranger. A sergeant to be precise. He’s no Delta Force, CIA, or Seal. But Rangers are tough sons of bitches. Trust me I’ve seen what these guys can do. Orders are the same. Capture or kill.”

“Atlas’s Dog has the girl! He has the girl! Ryan wants the girl alive. She’s too important. Put down Atlas’s Dog if you have to!”

“Kid....whoever the Hell you are. Give me the girl please. If you do I hopefully can guarantee you can live. Or if you don’t. I promise I’ll make your death quick. Trust me. You don’t wanna piss me off.”

“Sgt. Archie Wynand. That’s your name right. You don’t know how much you’ve pissed off Ryan. You’ve should of never came to this city. Just stop fighting and give up. You’re making this a lot harder on yourself.”

“Army Rangers are tough mother fuckers. But how in the Hell can a man like that survive through all that shit?. Yes he has the girl helping him....but how many Big Daddies and Splicers has he killed? Jesus Christ some of my own men he’s killed were highly trained killers. They were killed by some 20 year old punk! None of it makes any damn sense! In fact the amount of Plasmids he’s used....why hasn’t he mutated? Why isn’t he a Splicer yet?”

“I think I’m just grateful to see he doesn’t harvest any of the Little Sisters I’ve seen. God.....for some reason seeing this kid....reminds me of myself....no no....just stop thinking this shit Booker. He’s just a boy scout.”

“The fact I’ve heard he’s sided with Tenenbaum...disturbs me....no no. Not her. Is that why he’s saving all of those girls? I don’t understand.”

“I don’t care if the girl can open some weird ass portals! I want to kill that fucking Ranger! Ryan wants him dead! Put down Atlas’s Dog!” 

“For Ryan! For Rapture!”

“I’m getting tired of this shit. He’s getting closer to Ryan! Cut him off! Find the girl! I’m gonna put down Atlas’s Dog myself. You hear that Wynand!” 

“You Army Rangers are tough! Trust me I’ve worked with guys like you! But I came from the US Army, the CIA! Time for us soldiers to see who is better!”

“You’re pissing me off boy scout! Advance on him! It’s time we put down Atlas’s Dog!”

“I may be Ryan’s Dog but I don’t give a shit! You think you’re something special!? You’re just a fucking boy scout working for some Irish shithead who thinks he’s gonna change Rapture! Despite some of the terrible things he’s done already!” 

“How in the fucking Hell is he able to do this!? He’s a fucking man! He’s not unkillable! THROW EVERYTHING AT HIM!”

“How is he still fighting when using all of those Plasmids!? He hasn’t mutated!? What the Hell is wrong with him!? Did Tenenbaum do something to you!? Or even Atlas!?”

“I have killed Nazi’s with my bare hands! I have murdered terrorists! I have done horrible shit to horrible people! Whether they were horrible or not! I am a God damn veteran! My own government disowned me! My own best friend disowned me because of how I was! How in the Hell are you able to do all of this!?”

“Do you even know who Tenenbaum is!? The shit she has done! Not just the Little Sisters. But what she did to me! How can you help that bitch after what she did to me!?” 

“You know nothing of that bitch Tenenbaum! This city is a fucking shithole full of shit people! And she’s one of them! I’m one of them! I’m the Grim Reaper of this damn city!” 

“You know nothing of Elizabeth! Just give me her back! I just want her back! She deserves better than any of this! Better than me! Better than those kids!”

“JUST GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER!”

Detroit was a dangerous enough city during the daytime, to say nothing of the crime rate at night. On that note, it was the perfect time for Jack to attempt to follow-up on his leads on the ADAM plasmid trade. Perhaps it wasn’t the safest time or place, but Jack never had to worry for himself. Others, however...

Blue butterflies with a lot of activity over there....what exactly is that? Jack eyed a cluster of blue butterflies fluttering over behind a wall, turning down an alley to inspect what was going on. Whatever he’d expected, this wasn’t it. 

A group of young men stood around a man draped in what Jack could only describe as a tarp of some sort. The men- punks, really- seemed to be new-age ADAM addicts, young and not quite deteriorating yet physically, and clearly unsure of what they were doing. They were harassing this man, clearly looking for ADAM- if they were a little more spliced, they might have realized just by looking at him the man didn’t have any. They were desperate addicts harassing an innocent man. 

He sighed, as one man pulled a gun, waving it in a manner indicating he clearly didn’t actually know how to use it. The tarp-draped man was twitching, shaking, and backed up against a wall, gripping a knife almost desperately in his hand. But the men seemed confident in their ability to get something he clearly didn’t possess out of him. Jack couldn’t stand back and watch this.

“Didn’t your mother ever teach you to play nice with others?”

Oh. Idk, I was thinking more like a whole neon city in space (like something right off the cover of a synthwave album), and not just a space station. Rapture was underwater, Columbia was in the air--space seems like the next logical setting. And just like Rapture and Columbia had their excesses, the 80's was the decade of excess, and substance abuse was part of that, so anything like a plasmid or vigor would be a perfect metaphor for 80's cocaine use. And the 80's are where yuppies originated, and what better to serve as the "elite" in this scenario? Yuppie conservatives vs splicer punks.

I'm not so sure about making it "cosmic horror", though. And the only rogue AI would be whatever serves as the "big daddies". Ideally, I'm thinking something along the lines of these:

PLEASE, PLEASE LET THEM MAKE IT SET IN THE 80'S LIKE I TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.

I WANT TO SEE SPLICER PUNKS WITH INSANE PIERCINGS AND SAWBLADES FOR MOHAWKS.

OR MAYBE WITH NEON GLASS PIPING IMPLANTED IN THEIR BODIES.
