One of the accessories Evelyn acquired to help her at work is a pair of decorative hooks. They have bronze handles, but the bronze isn’t at all visible through the enameled coating - delicate patterns of pink flowers and green leaves over a rich light blue background. The hooks themselves, which are visibly bronze, are shorter than usual, but long enough to provide a firm grasp of the wall, or any other surface Evelyn might try to climb. When she’s not using them, Evelyn carries them in an item she’s come to call her “hook holster” – a pair of leather sheaths attached to a leather strap which she wears diagonally across her body. Evelyn created this holster in an effort to prevent her hooks from wreaking havoc on her daily clothing. She has had to mend her dresses far less frequently now that the hooks can be carried safely.
Background: Evelyn’s parents, Clovis and Stella, never managed to establish a successful marriage. Two years after getting married they got a divorce, and Clovis promptly remarried. Stella was left to support one-year-old Evelyn on her own. She found a job as a seamstress, and was able to feed Evelyn’s growing taste for dressing up in fancy-style clothing. When Evelyn became old enough, she began helping her mother with sewing jobs, and the fancy clothing of her childhood, which was made of old sheets and hand-me-downs, gradually became more sophisticated. She and her mother were never able to afford the expensive materials which would have made Evelyn’s fancy clothing pass in high society, but their efforts helped Evelyn make a few connections in the business world. One of those connections admired Evelyn’s spark and told her of a place where she might be free to gain all the fortune she would need to finance a better life: Rapture.
Evelyn leapt at the opportunity and headed out to join the innovative community. Her expectations were greatly disappointed when she arrived, however. Rapture was not the glamour and glitter that the business man had described. While some inhabitants were decidedly wealthy, others were fit to live in slums. As for the ability to become wealthy, Evelyn had a hard enough time finding a job. When she finally did find something, it was a job as a dancing girl at Eve’s Garden. The job was definitely not ideal, but it was a way for her to make money and survive in an increasingly hostile environment. Her childhood dance lessons, while not at all geared towards the sort of dancing she was doing now, at least gave her added flexibility and a good groundwork for dancing in general. Evelyn’s small stature and lack of curves kept her from becoming a main attraction, but her wit, mild Southern accent, and animated spirit made her a favorite with some and secured her job.
As tensions rose in Rapture, Evelyn began worrying about her safety. She was already equipped with a few tonics that helped with her job – the boys really got a kick out of her climbing up walls and back flipping off – but decided to get one more which might help her defend herself if she got into a tight situation. Evelyn decided her evasion skills, and fighting skills, if it came down to it, could use a bit of an upgrade, so she invested in the “SportsBoost” tonic.

I have been scarred for life by Bioshock. It is probably the best game ever created.
I also like Guitar Hero/Rock Band, Fallout 3, Halo, Maple Story, and various other games.
I have a question.
Where is the Paradise Lost roleplay?
I'm starving so I'll get to the point;
New here, found this website thanks to youtube. (Yes, someone has indeed advertised this website on youtube), and decided to check it out.
RP History: Been in a couple of websites but due to people having "God Mode" like abilities; I decided to stop RPing for a while.
Big fan of Bioshock and can't wait for the next one.
