Rosie

Bioshock: The Journey
Rosie (Big Daddy Class)

A ancient icon by today's standards, Rosie the Riveter was a cultural icon meant to inspire women to contribute to the American war machine in times of war. This Icon was turned into a grim parody when Dr. Suchong named a type of Big Daddies after it. Named because of the weapon they were designed to wield to great effect, the Rivet Gun, Rosies are more defense oriented much like the Bouncer was designed to get in close and personal. When not defending Little Sisters on their rounds, Rosie's also conduct maintenance on the city itself; carrying tools in order to repair damages when they see it.

In addition to their gun, Rosies are also taught how to fashion explosive mines in order to lob them onto the battlefield in a attempt to keep groups of Splicer Thugs away from their charge. With a bit of fine tuning eventually they can configure their Kit enough to be a real challenge for whoever wants to steal their Sisters Adam.

As with all Big Daddies, The Rosie is contained in a large Diving Suit, with their view port emitting a colored light defining their mood (Yellow for Alert, Red for angry, and Green for a good, at ease mood.) that they may change at will to warn enemies of their transgressions. Unlike bouncers, they are tall and fairly lithe with a large backpack style kit.

Lair: Unlike other Big Daddies, Rosie's left alone for too long without seeing a Little Sister will set up a work shop that will act as their lair. This workshop will be the base of their Repair operation and where they will keep their spare tools. When meeting with a Little Sister, they will abandon the workshop for as long as it takes, leaving turrets and traps to hopefully protect it long enough to last until the Rosie returns. Any room will make due for a Rosie's lair as long as it is abundant in Salvage material and has plenty of space for the Rosie to construct objects to defend and repair Rapture.

Background: Like others of their kind, Rosie's have little or no remembrance of the days before their creation. Only the two goals burned into their minds. Repair and Protect Sisters. Nobody actually knows how to combat the mind control plasmid used on Big Daddies so they may be roaming the halls of rapture forever.

Weakness: On their back is a large canister of oxygen for their treks on the sea floor in order to repair the outside of rapture. Shooting or penetrating this tank will put a hole in it that can be later repaired as a Extended Action by the Rosie for a point of Salvage. When a hole is put inside the tank, O2 will spray out; Dazing the Rosie for a round. Any nearby flames that meet the Oxygen will cause 1D10 -5 lethal damage, with a minimum of one. The rosie requires its Tank in order to breathe underwater.

Salvaging: Discarded metal items such as guns can be converted to one salvage point for each point of resources the item costs by the Rosie as a simple action. They may also choose to strip spare metal plating off of rooms as a Extended action, every two successes leading to a point of Salvage. Every point of Salvage taken from the room in this manner causes a point of durability damage to the room which can later be repaired using Salvage
