Image
• Andrew Ryan – The founder and figurehead of the underwater city Rapture. Having seen his great city ravaged by parasites, he stays alive by barricading himself in his office at Hephaestus. Consequently, he cannot be lynched or nightkilled until his barricade is broken. This occurs when his security is breached, which can be caused in several specific scenarios. Ryan protects himself and Rapture from leeches, and particularly Jack, by sending out the Splicers and Security Bots in his defense and on the attack. If a Security Bot finds Jack, Ryan will be made aware of Jack’s location in Rapture and which Security Bot found him. If a bot finds Jack as he arrives in Arcadia, Ryan can choose to flood the location with poison gas, destroying all the trees and preventing the Lazarus Vector from working. Additionally, by the end of every even day period, Ryan must send a name on a slip of paper to Sullivan, ordering that person to be killed that night. Andrew Ryan can win with the other morally ambiguous civvies alive (at least, those who don't hate him) but cannot with the ADAM Guardians or Fontaine's Crew. If Andrew Ryan dies, all of his Splicers and Security Bots become rogue independents, winning only if they survive to be last splicer or bot standing.
Image
• Thuggish Splicer – Serves Andrew Ryan to protect him from Jack and all the other parasites. Selects one target to kill every night with a melee weapon. Has a 10% base rate of killing its target. Knows who Andrew Ryan is and thus will refuse to attack him.
Image
• Leadhead Splicer – Serves Andrew Ryan to protect him from Jack and all the other parasites. Selects one target to kill every night with a machine gun or pistol. Has a 25% base rate of killing its target. Knows who Andrew Ryan is and thus will refuse to attack him.
Image
• Spider Splicer – Serves Andrew Ryan to protect him from Jack and all the other parasites. Selects one target to kill every night by sneaking up on them or throwing hooks at them from afar. If the Spider Splicer decides to melee attack, it has a 40% base rate of killing its target; if it decides to attack with hooks at a range, it has a 10% base rate of killing its target with three consecutive attempts. It cannot be harmed as easily with certain Plasmids if attacking from afar. Knows who Andrew Ryan is and thus will refuse to attack him.
Image
• Houdini Splicer – Serves Andrew Ryan to protect him from Jack and all the other parasites. Selects one target to kill every night with balls of fire or ice. Has a 30% base rate of killing its target. As a master of teleportation, Houdini Splicer is difficult to kill. It survives the first two attempts on its life, whether by lynch or by nightkill. Knows who Andrew Ryan is and thus will refuse to attack him.
Image
• Nitro Splicer – Serves Andrew Ryan to protect him from Jack and all the other parasites. Selects one target to kill every night with grenades and smoke bombs. The Nitro Splicer can choose to melee attack or from a distance. If the Nitro Splicer decides to melee attack, it has a 5% base rate of killing its target with a smoke bomb, but a 100% base rate of role blocking its target. If it decides to throw grenades from a distance, it has a 35% base rate of killing its target two consecutive tries. However, the Nitro Splicer cannot throw grenades from a distance more than two consecutive nights, lest it run out of grenades too quickly. If nightkilled, it lays a grenade, hoping to cheat its killer out of life as well before dying. Knows who Andrew Ryan is and thus will refuse to attack him.
Image
• Security Bots (6) – Search for Jack every night. If found, Jack must stop at his current location and cannot move until the following night. Any of the Security Bots will not be made aware if it has found Jack, but Ryan will be. If all Security Bots die, then Andrew Ryan’s barricade is broken. Unlike the Splicers, the Security Bots do not know Andrew Ryan’s identity. In the event that Ryan dies, the Security Bots can begin attacking every night thereafter using their built-in machine guns. Every Security Bot has a 25% base rate of killing its target.
'Civvies' 2: The Other Morally Ambiguous (13)
Image
• Diane McClintock – Andrew Ryan’s first mistress, who initially wholeheartedly supports him in his vision and beliefs. However, after she was injured in a riot and the subsequent chaos and decay of Rapture, McClintock began to see a changed man in Ryan. After seeing him transform as his city collapsed, she learned to despise him unconditionally. After Ryan found a new mistress in Jolene, McClintock fully became enamored with Atlas, participating in raids and other missions for his army. She searches for Atlas every night, hoping to meet him, unaware of what may happen. McClintock cannot win with Andrew Ryan alive. (Secrets)
Image
• Jasmine Jolene – An exotic dancer at Eve’s Garden in Fort Frolic and second mistress of Andrew Ryan. She became pregnant and subsequently sold the fetus of the unborn child of hers and Ryan’s to Tenenbaum, who at the time was working for Fontaine, out of desire for financial independence. As a result, she cannot win with Andrew Ryan alive, as he will brutally murder her. She has no specific night or day power.
Image
• Bill McDonagh – A major contractor who helped to build much of Rapture. He is also a proud member of City Council and long time friend of Ryan, but later lost faith in Ryan given his increasingly hypocritical and power-hungry behavior. The only way for Rapture to be saved and the madness to end, he decided, is for Ryan to be dead, and he will not rest until this happens. He searches for Ryan every night; if he finds him, McDonagh breaks down the security in Ryan’s office, eliminating his barricade, and confronts him once and for all. He has a 40% base rate of killing Ryan, leaving him a 60% chance of failure, dying at the hands of Ryan. He cannot win with Andrew Ryan alive.
Image
• Anya Andersdotter – A designer of women’s shoes and self-made assassin, Anya believed in Rapture and Ryan, but later became discouraged and disgusted with Ryan’s behavior. It was the final straw when she lost one of her daughters to Ryan Industries, which transformed her into a Little Sister. She slept with a member of Ryan’s maintenance team to find out secrets of how to break into Ryan's office, in the hopes of killing him. Needing just one last bit of information, she searches every night for Kyburz, as the information she needs is in his office. Once she finds Kyburz, assuming she lives to tell the tale, she then starts searching for Ryan every night. If she finds him, she manages to eliminate his barricade and attempts to kill him. She has a 60% base rate of killing Ryan, leaving a 40% chance of failure, dying at the hands of Ryan. She cannot win with Andrew Ryan alive.
Image
• Kyburz – An electrical engineer and the supervisor in the Hephaestus workshops, Kyburz once thought of Ryan to be the greatest electrical engineer of his generation. He too, however, was eventually disappointed and disgusted with Ryan’s abuse of power, and strives to kill him. He dreams of devising a “device” capable of overloading Ryan’s security systems. Every night he works on his energy bomb until he decides it is complete. On the night he decides it is complete, he hooks the bomb up to Rapture’s energy core and wishes for the best. His chances of overloading the security systems are equal to 10% multiplied for every night he worked on the device before unleashing it (i.e.: 30% for hooking it up on Night 3). If the device succeeds, Kyburz breaks Ryan's barricade and also can try to kill Ryan with a 50% base rate and a 50% of failure, dying at the hands of Ryan. However, he can choose not to kill him at this time as well. If the device fails, nothing happens and he can no longer work on it. If he is working on his device and Anya Andersdotter visits him, he becomes paranoid that she is a spy for Ryan and hands her over to one of Ryan’s Splicers, randomly selected from the ones currently alive. The Splicer selected will then attack Anya with twice the normal base rate. Kyburz cannot win with Andrew Ryan alive.
Image
• Security Chief Sullivan – Head of Security under Andrew Ryan, Sullivan often questions the morality of the orders he is given, especially increasingly over time. Sullivan receives a piece of paper with the name of a target Andrew Ryan wants to kill by the end of every even day period. He has the choice to kill that person that same night, and thus kills every even night; or he can refuse the order, effectively not killing anyone or choosing to kill someone else in defiance. All of Sullivan’s kills have a 75% base rate of success. Once Sullivan has carried out three attempted kills, the guilt becomes too strong and he begins contemplating suicide every night, with a 50% base rate of success every night. If Sullivan refuses any order from Ryan, he incurs his wrath, and Ryan discontinues sending kill suggestions. Under these circumstances, having gained his boss’s displeasure, Sullivan can no longer win with Andrew Ryan alive.
Image
• Professor Julie Langford – The scientist responsible for creating and maintaining Arcadia, Langford works on her concoction, the Lazarus Vector. After Night 4, the Lazarus Vector becomes fully functional, and with it Langford can resurrect one player of her choice at any time. If Ryan decides to destroy Arcadia’s trees, Langford can no longer win with Andrew Ryan alive and the Lazarus Vector cannot function.
Image
• Dr. J.S. Steinman – A former well-respected and accomplished surgeon, Steinman became mad with the discovery and usage of ADAM, obsessing over pursuits to make each of his patients “perfect”. Now low on patients whose flesh he can sculpt, Steinman is a crazed, bitter man who wields his machine gun any time anyone disturbs him. When targeted with any night action, Steinman whips out his machine gun and attempts to murder his attacker. He has a 25% base rate of killing his intruder.
Image
• Peach Wilkins – A former employee at Fontaine Fisheries, rumored to be the leader of Fontaine’s smugglers, who feels paranoid about being held responsible with Fontaine being caught. He has the choice of locking himself in the freezer of the Fisheries or staking out with his camera. If he locks himself inside, he has a 50% chance of fending off any night action, including potential night kills. If the night action goes through, Wilkins does not benefit from any decrease in base rate from his attacker. Instead, if he waits outside the Fisheries with his camera, he can role check any potential attacker with a 60% chance of accuracy, assuming he lives to see another day.
Image
• Kyle Fitzpatrick – A talented pianist, Fitzpatrick works as a disciple under Sander Cohen, but Cohen is displeased by Fitzpatrick’s piano playing. Fitzpatrick must continue to play the piano every night but, as time passes, he comes closer to giving up out of frustration, leading to his explosive death. Each night Fitzpatrick lives he loses 5% on his chances of survival, starting with a 90% base rate of surviving Night 1; 85% of surviving Night 2; 80% Night 3; 75% Night 4, etc. He cannot win with Sander Cohen alive.
Image
• Martin Finnegan – A former disciple of Cohen, Finnegan was apparently locked by Cohen to die in a freezer. Earning his nickname The Iceman, Finnegan now bitter takes revenge on a player of his choice every night, attempting to freeze them. He has a 20% base rate of successfully freezing any of his targets. While frozen, a player cannot use his/her night power or Plasmids. A player remains frozen for three nights, unless unfrozen by fire. Finnegan cannot win with Sander Cohen alive.
Image
• Silas Cobb – Owner of Rapture Records and former disciple of Cohen, Cobb does not take lightly to being imprisoned inside Poseidon Plaza. Whenever anyone attempts to nightkill him, Cobb defends himself by attacking in response. In defense he behaves like a Nitro Splicer, and consequently hurls grenades at his attacker. He has a 35% base rate of killing his attacker two consecutive tries. Cobb cannot win with Sander Cohen alive.
Image
• Hector Rodriguez – Former disciple of Cohen, Rodriguez is also held prisoner in Fort Frolic, specifically in Eve’s Garden. He incessantly rambles about what Cohen put him through and the things he did for Cohen, often while drunk. Whenever anyone attempts to nightkill him, Rodriguez defends himself by attacking in response. In defense he behaves like a Nitro Splicer, albeit a drunken one, and consequently hurls grenades at his attacker in a drunken fashion. He has a 35% base rate of killing his attacker two consecutive tries, but a 50% chance of accidentally throwing the grenade each time at someone else in mistake. He cannot win with Sander Cohen alive.
If anyone could bold anything up there that looks even REMOTELY like civ bts. I would love to see it. Because I keep reading it and reading it and reading it and not seeing it. I know someone posted a "wait have you really thought out the options of civ bts?" and gave a bunch of roles and I keep trying to find it and can't. I know I'm not crazy because spacedaisy also noted that she can't see the civ bts.
I just wish I could find the quote I was looking for about the "here's all the ways there could be civ bts." because that person would likely get my vote before even boo. I'm so frustrated right now. I've tried to go through the pages and I just can't find it. and without remembering who said it I can't search it.
In either case, whether it's vomp or boats, I just am missing how there is civ bts in this game.
Don't really feel he's bad. Maybe just me though.
(Also, agreed, he definitely separated himself from civs by saying YOU instead of US or WE... making his threat even more obvious, rather than just an FYI.)
