Preferred level: Elysium



Appearance: Snake can easily be described as a hobo. He's got long dark brown hair that he keeps out of his face with a bandana and he looks like he hasn't shaved in months, having a full beard and a moustache. He is a little over six feet tall and because of the fights he gets into, he's a very strong and intimidating man.

Personality: Snake is a very calm and collected person in many circumstances. This tends to give him a sort of a badass image, even though he doesn't believe himself to be. In fact, Snake doesn't think as highly of himself as others do, thinking people are embellishing on the truth or generally not believing that he deserves to be called a hero. He's very much a leader, able to give orders in the middle of combat but at the same time he's not arrogant enough that he's better off without a commander.

After seventeen years of retirement, he doesn't have the same intensity about war and his dislike of it as his canon counterpart has and doesn't seem to have the same issues about killing either. Like his other version, Snake does tend to repeat what people say back at them in the form of a question and comfort those close to death. Also like the other version, he tends to trust people when he first meets them, which causes him to be betrayed by at least two people in the course of Ac!d.

Snake also doesn't believe in psychics and the supernatural, calling his young psychic radio support names and not really believing her when she warns him about future events, although he's not really mean about it to her. He likes children and will do anything to help them. He doesn't try to keep people at a distance and will joke around when he needs to. He's also a little bit sarcastic when he wants to be.

Abilities: He's highly trained in Close Quarters Combat and is skilled in using most guns. An ability given to the soldiers in Ac!d is the use of cards, which enhance physical abilities, pull weapons out of god knows where, or uses the memories and abilities of a person to help in combat.

History: Solid Snake was not born, he was created in a New Mexican cave. He was cloned from Big Boss, the greatest soldier of the twentieth century, for an organization known as the Patriots. For the first ten years of his life, he lived in Oregon and went through intense military training, taking off the summer months and going to a park called Kiddieland.

By the time he was twenty, he had joined the Army and had been sent to fight in Desert Storm. He would eventually join the Green Berets while over there and would return to the States after a couple of years. It was around this time that Big Boss took notice of him and he would be accepted into FOXHOUND, gaining the codename of Solid Snake. Big Boss would teach him Close Quarters Combat.

His first mission with FOXHOUND sent him to the mercenary nation of Outer Heaven, which was run by a legendary soldier. A more experienced agent by the codename of Grey Fox had infiltrated it previously, but had been captured. He had sent a cryptic message about Metal Gear. With the help of resistence fighters and Grey Fox, Snake would end up getting to Metal Gear, a large bipedal death machine. There, he met the leader of Outer Heaven, who was in fact his commander, Big Boss. Snake would destroy Metal Gear and then supposedly kill Big Boss, but not before he reveals that Snake is his son. After the mission, Snake would retire for a few years.

Snake would be pulled out of retirement by FOXHOUND's new commander, Colonel Roy Campbell, to infiltrate Zanzibar Land, stop yet another Metal Gear, and rescue a scientist by the name of Kio Marv. A journalist by the name of Holly White assists Snake on his mission, along with a couple other people. He's unable to rescue Dr. Marv and has to destroy the new Metal Gear, piloted by former FOXHOUND soldier Grey Fox. He destroys the new model of Metal Gear and fights Grey Fox in a minefield, killing him, before meeting with the leader of Zanzibar Land. Big Boss survived Outer Heaven and was now in charge of Zanzibar Land. Snake and Big Boss fought again with Snake killing him with a makeshift flamethrower before escaping Zanzibar Land. He would go into retirement for seventeen years.

He would be called out of retirement after an airplane carrying Senator Viggo Hach was hijacked by two dolls. They hijacked the plane on orders of No. 16, a psychic test subject who wanted revenge, and told the government that if they wanted the plane unharmed, they'd have to hand over Pythagoras. Snake was to infiltrate the Lobito Physics and Chemistry Lab on Lobito Island after a couple of the Hostage Rescue Teams sent in by the FBI were eliminated. Soon after entering, he was contacted by a lab tech by the name of Gary Murray, who had escaped from the terrorists and knew the location of Dr. William Flemming, the scientist who created Pythagoras. Snake met up with Gary and was told to go to the residential section, where Flemming supposedly was. After sidetracking to the armory, Snake entered the residential area and was given access under the name of Hans Davis, much to the surprise of Snake, who had never used the name before.

It ended up being a trap. Leone, the leader of the terrorists, was waiting there and shot "Flemming" with his ridiculously large gun before turning the weapon towards Snake. After buying time by insulting Leone, Snake was rescued by Teliko Friedman, the only surviving member of the HRT. After speaking with Snake's support team, Teliko joined him and gave him information on where Flemming was located. She said that he was in BRC-026 and they headed in that direction. There they got contacted by Gary, who then revealed he was going to get to Flemming first to get the ACUA data and kill him. This prompted Snake and Teliko to quickly move through the building to get the Flemming before Gary did.

When Snake finally got to where Flemming supposedly was, he found Gary instead, who revealed that he was actually Dr. Flemming and that Snake was Hans Davis, his partner and one of the creators of Pythagoras. Flemming explained a few things while Snake got strange memories that fit with what Flemming was telling him, causing him to doubt himself. Luckily, Teliko had come to Snake's aid again, shooting at Flemming and making him drop the Pythagoras data.

False memories: Snake was dropped off in Abyss as a child and taken in by a gang that called themselves the Wolves. They raised him and taught him how to fight, but yet never gave him a name. When he was in his twenties, he left them to wander around Abyss and sneak up into Terra sometimes. He didn't really do much with himself until he found Alice. A former experiment, he took her in and adopted her as his daughter. He raised her the best he could until he met William Flemming. Snake volunteered to test the nanochips Flemming was working on. It was a success until Snake snapped, going by the name of Hans Davis, Flemming's former partner. Because of his now violent nature, he ended up getting killed. He was bought by Flemming and now lives with him, working as his bodyguard while Flemming figures out what went wrong with the nanochips.
