Setting: Steampunk American History On Crack. That's the world of BioShock infinite. But, I believe you're going to want more information than that, so let's start.
In the late 1800s, the United States, flying high on American Exceptionalism, commissioned a floating city that would travel across the United States, symbolizing both American Political and Religious ideals to the rest of the world. Zachary Hale Comstock stepped up to found, and fund the city, after being visited by an angel in his dreams. The angel told him that he needed to lead the people to a "New Eden," and hailed him as a Prophet. He named the city after her.
Thanks to the Lutece Field, a quantum field discovered by the physicist Rosalind Lutece, Columbia was able to remain aloft. The Lutece Field uses quantum particles to suspend objects in the air for any amount of time. As such, Columbia floats. It uses propellers and balloons, but for the most part, the modern city is held aloft by the Lutece Field.
Columbia was well-regarded, until 1901 during the Boxer Rebellion, when the city attacked Chinese civilians who had taken American hostages. Washington then learned of Columbia's true nature, and given that it was basically a heavily armed aircraft that could go anywhere in the world, a rift began between the president and Comstock. Shortly thereafter, Columbia succeeded from the nation, becoming it's very own city-state.
Columbia is a nation of God, but the religion that is followed is not your standard Christianity. The nation worships The Founders- that is, the Founders of the United States, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. A few Buddhists can be found throughout the city, but they are few and far between. Most people, for their safety, have converted to The Founders, in order to avoid persecution by the jingoistic government of Columbia.
Since before the recession, strange things were being seen around Columbia. Strange shimmers in the air, gray with a violet outline could be seen. No one knew what they were, but that didn't stop many enterprising men from using them to their advantage. Using what later will be revealed to be Tears in the fabric of time and space, men like Jeremiah Fink and Father Comstock, used them to glimpse into other worlds, other realities and other times. This allowed them to create advanced technologies that can be seen around Columbia, such as the motorized Patriots (robotic figures of the Founders & Lincoln used as attack robots).
Columbia was not without it's problems. Due to the times, racism ran rampant, with the white upper-class turning their noses down at the Chinese, black, and Irish. Segregation was common-place, and the poor worked and lived in a shantytown beneath the factories. Fed up with their treatment, and Comstock's iron fist and tyrannical ways, a group of anarchists band together to form the Vox Populi, who want to put the power back in the hands of the people. They are lead by Daisy Fitzroy, the former house maid of the Comstocks, who was persecuted for the murder of Lady Comstock.
During all of this, Comstock was dealing with his own personal crisis. After having been unable to conceive for so long, his wife, Lady Comstock, became pregnant for only one week. After the week, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl that Comstock had been told would ""cleanse the Sodom of the world below." She became the Lamb of the Prophet, destined to take Comstock's throne after his death, and something of a celebrity in Columbia, though her name was never revealed to the people.
The reality, of course, was that Elizabeth was not Comstock's daughter. He had the Lutece twins procure her for him, as Comstock was sterile. The Luteces went to another reality to collect a debt, a baby girl named Anna from a man called Booker Dewitt, who had lost his wife to childbirth. Anna was brought back to Columbia, but not without losing the tip of her pinkie in the process of crossing back. Anna was then renamed Elizabeth.
Lady Comstock, furious that Elizabeth was not her own child, vowed not to raise her, and had her locked up in Monument Island. At the time of BioShock: Infinite, Elizabeth has been there for nineteen years, until a man named Booker Dewitt was called upon to relieve a debt.
Personality: Elizabeth is a bird, caged for 19 years, and finally able to fly free. During her imprisonment, Elizabeth had no contact with a living human, and learned about life through books. As such, she is naive to the ways of the world and people, though she's proven to be a quick learner. In just a few hours out of her apartment, she's done more than she's ever done in her life.
Idealistic, Elizabeth reacts negatively to violence, especially when it surrounds her. The idea of war, senseless slaughter, is terrifying, and a very distant idea, though it's become all too near to her lately, especially when she realizes that much slaughter has been carried out in her name, under the orders of her father, the prophet Zachary Comstock. Luckily, Elizabeth has no intentions of following in his footsteps, or claiming any loyalty to him and his jingoistic ways.
Unfortunately, there is blood on Elizabeth's hands. Having murdered the leader of the Vox Populi, Daisy Fitzgerald, Elizabeth feels a deep remorse and conflict about her actions. She had just witnessed Daisy murder a man, and she was about to turn her gun on a young boy, but taking a life is not something she views lightly. For her, it was the first step towards what Comstock wanted her to be.
An intelligent young woman, Elizabeth's humor tends to err on the side of sarcastic and ironic. Having never been around people before, does not understand many cultural cues. She'll call people out on nearly anything she sees fit, though she's determined not to take too much of her new freedom seriously. She's eager to explore the world, now that she has access to it.
Once Elizabeth has set her mind to something, she won't' stop until she gets it. She's extremely determined and resilient, much like her father. She can compartmentalize with ease, putting aside things that bother her in order to move forward in order to attack her goals.
Due to her lack of experience in the world, Elizabeth is reckless. She's learned from books, where heroes often charge into battle without thinking things through, and very rarely seem to suffer for it. She models herself after them, doing whatever she sees fit, ignoring the entire concept of consequences all together.
Finally, Elizabeth is a very caring young woman. She has a maternal instinct that has never been nurtured, and holds great value for human life. She's sympathetic to the struggles of the people, believing in fair treatment and equality. Despite her father's careful planning, Elizabeth is determined to become nothing like him. Unfortunately, there's really no such thing as free-will. What has happened will happen again.
Like all people, Elizabeth has her own set of fears. She fears Songbird, the giant mechanical bird that has been her only companion in her tower, she fears the thought of being taken back to Comstock and would rather face death than be used by him. She hates bees, and injustice, and the idea of cages, metaphorical or literal. But she doesn't let fear hold her back. Instead, Elizabeth sprints full-speed ahead, eager to learn and experience new things, no matter what the danger. Because what could be better than living after living in a tower for 19 years?
When it comes to her family, as complicated as it is, Elizabeth's feeling safe very straight forward. In terms of Father Comstock, she hates him. He was no father to her, and she will not follow in his footsteps and be the Lamb of the Prophet as he so desperately wants. She will not rest until she sees an end to his reign of terror. Elizabeth's mother, on the other hand, was not her birth mother. Whomever she is, she doesn't know. But Elizabeth no longer hates her, having discovered the truth about her. Lady Comstock was just as much a victim of Comstock as Elizabeth was. She may have locked her in her tower in the first place, but she does not blame her any more.
Part of her family, though she hates to admit it, is Songbird, a giant mechanical bird. Her only friend when she was younger, Songbird brought Elizabeth food and books and clothing, serving as her only link to the outside world. But as she grew older, she began to resent him. He was her warden, and now pursues her and Booker at every twist and turn. She fears and hates him, but he is, and always will be, her friend. Her relationship with Songbird could be likened to something akin to an abusive relationship.
Then there is Booker Dewitt. Booker literally fell into her life and she promptly attacked him with a book. Best weapon in the world. Upon realizing that not only was Songbird coming for her, but her tower was falling apart, she was quick to follow him (questioning him every step of the way) out of the tower. Untrusting of him, and generally upset by the fact that oh, he killed people, Elizabeth made her disdain for Booker very clear, cumulating when she knocked him out with a wrench after she realized he was never going to take her to Paris at all. As their adventures took them further and further into Columbia, Elizabeth found Booker regaining her trust, and even, to a degree, her admiration. He was risking life and limb to keep her safe, to bring her to Paris, and he seemed, though gruff to match her sarcasm, to care about her. Maybe it's naivety, maybe it's Stockholm syndrome, but Elizabeth may very well have come to love Booker Dewitt.
Finding herself in Keeliai won't really be too much of a shock to Elizabeth. At this point, she's not sure that anything could really surprise her. It's just another reality, another tear she'd managed to step-through. And what's better, this place has no Comstock, and no Songbird! To her, it'll be another ticket to freedom, the only problem being that it's not Paris. Eager to get out and actually make friends that don't want to shoot her will be a brand new adventure. And she can't wait to get started.
Appearance: Elizabeth is a slim young woman of an average height. She has dark brown hair that she recently cut to be just past her chin, and bright blue eyes that she's taken to lining with gray. Around her neck she always wears a small choker, with a pendant of a bird. The most noticeable thing about her, however, is her right pinkie, which is an entire knuckle short, due to a tragic accident involving traveling through dimensions as a baby. She covers it with a silver thimble.
Abilities: Elizabeth has the ability to open up tears in reality. She can see them, and pull items through. Recently, finding herself free from all siphons, she's been able to create tears herself. Unfortunately, given the nature of Tu Shanshu, Elizabeth is not able to open them up to other realities, other universes, and step through into another universe. She can see tears here, and create them, but any tear that she opens only loops back to another part of Tu Vishan, in the very same reality. Any item she pulls through the tears would be something that already existed within Tu Vishan.
Elizabeth has spent most of her life trapped in a tower, and as such, has a tremendous library of abilities. To name a few: she's an accomplished lock picker, singer, painter, speaks English, Chinese, and French, and is extremely well-read. She also has a great throwing arm and an eye for details. She's also really great at geography, and seriously, this woman spent 19 years by herself in a tower. It's more a question of what can't she do. She's a Jane of all trades. Booker tends to think it's better to just assume she can do anything until proven otherwise.
Inventory: 1 silver thimble
1 sky hook
1 black and white corset
1 small blue jacket
1 long blue skirt
1 long white underskirt
? various Edwardian underthings
1 pair of tall brown boots
And that's it.
Suite: I spoke with Booker-mun, and they are going to offer Elizabeth a place to stay. But if needed, a small one-bedroom place in the Earth sector.
In-Character Samples:
Third Person: Anyone else would have been panicking, Elizabeth reasoned. Sitting on a cart on her way to a new city she'd been told was… on the back of a turtle, and some place between dreaming and death? Honestly, after everything Elizabeth had heard in the past few days, this was a walk in the park. Here, none of the kedan had heard of Columbia, Father Comstock, or even Songbird. She was… she was free. For real this time.
When the realization struck, she found herself caught somewhere between laughter and tears. Free, but… back on Columbia, Father Comstock had to have been wrecking havoc, same with the Vox. Columbia was in ruins, but- Comstock needed to be killed. It was something she didn't like to say, but it was true. All the pain he had put everyone through, it needed to end. Then she and Booker could make their way to Paris.
Booker.
He had to be back on Columbia! Trying desperately to find her, to rescue her from Comstock and his doctors. She remembered them holding her down, hurting her- there were needles and that's when she'd opened up the Tear right below her. How she'd fallen through to wake up here. She'd given Booker a Tear to come find her, but now? How would he get here? He had to have been worried sick, or maybe, just maybe, he'd left Columbia to self-destruct, returned back to New York. Now that she wasn't there, there wasn't any danger, was there? Other than Comstock.
But Booker wouldn't abandon her like that. The doctors said he would, but she didn't believe it. He'd be back to rescue her. And maybe he'd find his way, here. If not… Then she'd find a way to bring him here. He was a wanted man on Columbia in ANY reality. And she couldn't just abandon him like that. Not after all they'd been through. He rescued her. And she'd given away her freedom in exchange for his life. You didn't just throw something like that away.
Even Booker had to know that.
And if he wasn't… Well, if what she had been told was true, there were others like her here, other foreigners. So maybe, for the first time in her life, she'd be able to enjoy her freedom. And make a few friends. It wasn't Paris. But it would do.
Network: [UNLIKE her… friend? escort? companion? partner-in-crime?, Elizabeth had significantly less-trouble starting the network running. Probably because she paid attention to what was being told to her. What can she say? She picks things up pretty easily. After turning on the PC, she settles down in front of it, looking at it curiously. This is where the feed begins.]
Oh! Hello! You really can see my face! It's like a voxophone and a Kinetoscope all in one!
Right. My name's Elizabeth- I'm looking for a man? He's tall, brown hair, rugged-looking, scowls all the time, like this: [She contorts her face into an exaggerated scowl for a moment, before returning to an easier-to-look-at face.] His name is Booker Dewitt, and if anyone has seen him… Well, I hope he's here. [Did she actually just say that? Yes, yes she did.]
And if he's not… well, hello, then.
