    Summary

    Ever since Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had been a child, he played a lot of chess. From grandmasters to engines, he beat them all time and time again.

    There was no person or program in the White Room or anywhere else that could hold a candle to him. Then someday, when he once again beat every single opponent that was assigned to him, he began to wonder...

    How would it feel to play chess with pieces which had their own thoughts and feelings? How would the rules change if he played with real human pieces instead of wooden ones?

    A game of Living Chess, where every piece had its own agenda.

    Summary

    I’ve always been fascinated by the ideas behind both COTE and BioShock — how meritocracy can fail, how equality can be more illusion than reality. So I started imagining an AU where the COTE cast reacts to a version of Ayanokoji taking on the role of Andrew Ryan in Rapture.

    Some other COTE characters also replace key BioShock figures, adapted to fit the universe — still themselves, just in a very different world. And to make it even more interesting, canon White Room Ayanokoji is watching and reacting to how his AU self handles things.

    One of the biggest twists: AU-Ayanokoji is not from the White Room, so he’s more human, more emotional, and… maybe not the ideal leader for a city like Rapture. Canon Ayanokoji might have been better at running it — though he probably would never have wanted to in the first place.

    This isn’t meant to be a faithful adaptation of BioShock — I’ve combined elements from both games to explore a story that’s more about people, choices, and consequences than following the plot beat-for-beat. It’s a mix of tragedy, moral dilemmas, and what happens when brilliance and humanity collide in a world built on ideals that don’t quite work.
