Define Gothic.
Do you mean, True Gothic, or all those little kids that dress up in black with a lot of makeup and who call themselves Gothic even though they aren't really Gothic? |

| Sci-fi Gothic... Haven't seen one of those in forever. Reminds me of Gargoyles (That Disney show.) |

If you're meaning when someone thought this is sci-fi gothic like Gargoyles (never seen btw) no, this is raygun gothic, read this from wikipedia:
"Raygun Gothic is a catchall term for a visual style that incorporates various aspects of the Googie, Streamline Moderne and Art Deco architectural styles when applied to retro-futuristic science fiction environments. Academic Lance Olsen has characterised Raygun Gothic as "a tomorrow that never was".[1] The style has also been associated with architectural indulgence, and situated in the context of the golden age of modern design due to its use of features such as "single-support beams, acute angles, brightly colored paneling" as well as "shapes and cutouts showing motion"." |

| Never played Bioshock but, based on pictures yes I would say, although I envision this being set in space. Also like Fallout 3. |

| Hm,it would be interesting if some sort of "New Chicago" space station (With apartments, offices, and other large buildings were to be the location, and possibly have the plot similar to the "Thing?" |

| I pointed to the "Thing" due to the isolation provided by space, and I really don't see alot of "Paranoia" horror roleplays. |

I poorly stated the direction I felt this should go: The "Thing" premise (Alien can morph into other people, so you never know who is the alien.) As the main "Problem" throughout the roleplay. |

Yeah, it's very common, it's been used on Haven, Thing, Thing 2, Thing (remake), Eureka, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a whole lot of other things.

"I really don't see alot of "Paranoia" horror roleplays." I meant on this forum, reason why I suggested this type to go with this setting. Though, yes, I understand it is a very common trope that has been many times in media over the many years. |
