As 2K Games has previously revealed, BioShock 2's multiplayer component will take place during the fall of Rapture, as various denizens riot in the tube-encased streets of the underwater city. And now, according to a couple of tiny pics floated on the BioShock 2 forum, we have what seems to be our first look at two of the characters we'll be able to play as: Blanche the Actress and Zigo the Fisherman.
Yes, unfortunately that small picture to the right is the best there is at the moment, which was first spotted on the BioShock 2 forum by KokuGamer (via Joystiq). A couple of other small pics follow below, which come from what certainly appears to be a GameStop ad promoting these two characters as exclusive bonuses for customers who pre-order BioShock 2.

Again, the pictures do seem to appear legitimate. But it is curious that, with BioShock 2 recently delayed into 2010, GameStop would already be readying to promote pre-orders for the game with exclusive content (or maybe this promotion was being readied before the decision to delay the game was made?). Also unclear at the moment is whether these two characters would eventually be available for purchase by all BioShock 2 owners, or if pre-ordering at GameStop really will be the only way to get them.

Since the game isn't coming out until at least early 2010, though, there's probably plenty of time to wait and see before placing your reserve.
