THIRTY YEARS OLD ☸ EXOTIC DANCER

A star, mama! Mr. Ryan said he’s going to make me a star!”

A small town girl who dreamed of something bigger, Mary-Catherine Jolene always knew that she was bigger than the farm land she was raised on. Cows and pasture, a school house just down the dirt road and not much more, surely, there had to be more out there than this. Bored at an early age, talent was going to be her ticket out of there and into something bigger. That wasn’t to say that success elsewhere wouldn’t come with its hurtles to leap over, it was all just a matter of when. Praised constantly for not only her voice, but her acting chops as well, as Mary-Catherine grew older, her ego grew along with it. By the age of eighteen, she knew there was only one option - to find a way into the big city no ifs, ands, or buts. At the point where her parents technically had no more control over her, talk between her own family and another to marry her off, as if she were nothing more to her father than another cattle to herd off, it was that which gave Mary-Catherine the lack of empathy needed to ditch town with a small bag of cash her mother and father had hidden underneath their mattress for years.

Ditching her name in turn for something with a bigger stage presence, something more ‘exotic’ in New York, Mary-Catherine became someone else entirely - Jasmine Jolene. For years she would attempt to make her break to center stage, and for years she would fail to succeed. That all turned around the moment in which she landed herself a role as a chorus girl in one of Sander Cohen’s productions. Though the man wouldn’t look twice at her despite her efforts to show him of the talents she possessed, another eye was caught - the eye of Andrew Ryan. An offer made to come to Rapture, while it wouldn’t be the life she always wanted, it would be a change of scenery no less, a change of scenery in a place that would someday make a stamp on the world. A stage complete with a pole, Jasmine made the best of things, growing closer still to Ryan in the process. Her ultimate role found in playing his mistress, all was going so well until a recent pregnancy scare that has her reconsidering.

+-

Andrew Ryan - While there was a time that she could have seen herself falling in love with Andrew, things are changing and that’s no secret. Having known him before the move to Rapture, she’s seen first-hand how power hungry he’s become and is questioning if he’s still the man she used to know.

Anna Culpepper - Jasmine doesn’t know what she’d do without Anna, and vice versa. Anna is the only person in Rapture that she fully trusts, which was why she held no questions on who to turn to when the pregnancy scare hit. Anna’s been nothing but supportive until they know for sure, but she can sense the other girl’s fear.

Sander Cohen - Sander’s distaste for her is no secret. Even the blind could see as much, unfortunately for Jasmine it’s a hatred she can’t seem to step away from, however that doesn’t mean she has to take it laying down. Tired of watching the Sander step all over people, she ceases every opportunity to put the man in his place.

FORTY-ONE YEARS OLD ☸ OWNER OF FONTAINE FISHERIES

”This Fontaine fellow is somebody to watch. Once, he was just a menace, to be convicted and hung. But he always manages to be where the evidence isn’t. He’s the most dangerous type of hoodlum… the kind with vision.”

Sometimes the best thing to do in life was the best that you could - even if the best that you could wasn’t necessarily good. A childhood mostly spent in an orphanage, Frank Gorland knew that wasn’t the life that he wanted for himself. Leaving it behind, he found himself a job as a stage boy, that job would lay the grounds for a greater passion of his - conning. Fooling people into believing he was someone he was not, it was almost too easy. Sure, he found himself in bits of trouble here and there, but almost always Frank came out on top in the end. There wasn’t a situation he wasn’t able to somehow swindle himself out of, although naturally that caught attention: the attention of the FBI. 

It was then that Frank’s life would begin to change. When a federal agent threatened to do a deep investigation into his background, he had no choice but to oblige to the FBI’s demands, and admittedly they were demands that caught his interest. Andrew Ryan being a man known for his wealth, Frank’s own curiosity piqued, inwardly happy to be investigating Ryan’s so-called “North Atlantic Project.” Hiring someone he trusted to help him out, his buddy Reggie from his glory days back in the Bronx, after an interrogation, they were tipped off with info concerning Fontaine Fisheries, the company who was providing Ryan’s workers with fish, a company owned by a man named Frank Fontaine. The company not having the cleanest history would work to our Frank’s advantage, a run in with Fontaine would have him convincing the man that the FBI was hot on his trail for drug smugglings in and out of Cuba. This would convince Fontaine to sell our Frank his fleet with enough money to retire on. A meeting to finalize with no one else present, all of the old crew already fired, with no one around to witness with the exception of his new loyals, the old Fontaine was disposed of and a new Frank Fontaine would reign. From then on, it was smooth sailing, letters would have him brown nosing his way into Andrew Ryan’s heart - ultimately a new hub for “his” fishing company, bringing along his buddies Reggie and Peach Wilkins along for the ride. Claiming to admire the man’s ideas and ideals, in reality Frank saw entry into Rapture as one thing: the ultimate con.

Andrew Ryan -  The man was smart, he would give him that - he had to be to create all of this, but he wasn’t smart enough. Keeping close to the man until he finds something worth using against, Frank knows that he has to be smart about this. Something is cooking, and he will be getting to the bottom of it. 

Diane McClintock - If a broad were useful for anything, it was running her mouth, and who better to do so than the woman closest to Andrew Ryan? Frank isn’t foolish, he knows that the woman is pathetically head over heels thus knows where her allegiances lie, but that doesn’t mean she’s not prone to letting things slip.

Dieter Sonnekalb & Daniel Wales - Frank holds his reservations on trusting the two, but one has to start somewhere. If things are going to be revealed ultimately, he’ll need support, to be the little voice whispering into ears that something’s not right.

Reggie Regos & Peach Wilkins - The pair he’s known for some time, he even chose to bring them along to Rapture with him as his right hand men, seeing as they had more than proven themselves over the years. Neither’s loyalty does he question.

THIRTY-THREE YEARS OLD ☸ MEDICAL RESEARCHER

"War a terrible thing. Japanese kill every man in my city, use every woman. Except for Suchong. Suchong have opium. Very good opium. This war, terrible thing, but not for Suchong…"

It was the way of the world. Children seen as objects that were meant for profit, it was at the very moment that Yi Suchong learned how to walk that she became useful, beneficial to her family. The daughter of a line of house servants in rural Korea - in order to keep themselves from starving - Yi was sold to another family where she would serve up until the war. Her attention always caught by the human condition, human anatomy, what made people tick - what made them do what they did? Her curiosity was something that got her in trouble now and again, but it wasn’t something that stopped her from ceasing every opportunity placed before her to learn more. Greedy with it, in fact, she was determined to find something more.

With Japan occupying Korea, this lead for more opportunity. Old enough now to understand a bit more, to know that she had to make herself useful to them. Through her experiments over the years, she’d dabbled with drugs - something every foolish man craved. Supplying the Japanese troops with opium was what kept her alive, what granted her access to study deeper things. It was ill practice, but if they were willing to stack bodies for opium, that was something she preferred to money, especially with no one around to monitor her experiments on them. Eventually, however, the time came to flee. Being sought after by the Chinese government along with many others who’d collaborated with the enemy, she ultimately wound up in Rapture where she was able to set up her own independent research firm: Suchong Institute and Laboratories.

Anya Andersdotter -  Yi knows exactly what happened to Anya’s daughter which makes the friendship the other woman has been trying to spark all the more curious. She’ll humor her until she figures out what the other is up to.

Brigid Tenenbaum - Working very closely with Brigid on her ‘Little Sister’ project, Yi has grown frustrated with Ryan’s inconsistent funding for the project, and in turn frustrated with Brigid for not speaking up about it.

J.S. Steinman - If there was ever another practice she was curious about, it would be Steinman’s. She’s heard he’s mad, but that only draws her closer to him. She’s yet to speak to him personally, but it’s only a matter of time before lurking his shadows grows old.
