Talk:List of characters in Metal Gear Solid/Archive 1

message: There are a few things I noticed in Sniper Wolf’s bio that I have never heard of before. Does anyone know what the source of information is for the following?
In Metal Gear Solid, Sniper Wolf…
“used special 'mercury-chip' rounds to poison the target(s).”
“At the age of five, near the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988, she witnessed the death of her family and thousands of others as they died to a gas attack by Saddam Hussein's troops.”
“[Sniper Wolf] followed him [Big Boss] in whatever he did until his death by Solid Snake. At this point, Liquid Snake was able to find her and convince her to join FOXHOUND.”
I think the line about her addiction to tranquilizers should be deleted.  Unless someone can provide the proof that in canon she has an addiction that line is speculation.
Someone like her who can wait days for a target doesn't have time to deal with an addiction.  Albeit the tranquilizers she takes may help her metabolism stay subdued, nowhere is it mentioned that she is addicted to them.
The line about her not being affected by FOXDIE should be edited to mention that Revolver Ocelot and Liquid Snake think the reason she isn't affected is because of the pills she takes.  I'm editing that line.  TotalTommyTerror 15:38, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I forget which person it is, but one of the people on the comlink mention that she's addicted to Diazepam or Pentazemin, depending on which of the two versions of the game it is. As for the second edit, though, that's fine. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 15:42, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

message: In the Liquid Snake article it is stated that he had the superior dominant genes.  Excuse me for my lack of knowledge on this subject, but shouldn't Snake have the Dominant genes?  He looks much more similar to Naked Snake then Liquid does, and I believe that the ending meant that although Liquid recieved Ressecive genes, he was still superior to Solid Snake. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of these subjects, as I stated before, I do not know a whole lot about any of them.--Yoshimitsu blade 04:20, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's made clear in the MGS ending, Solid Snake got the recessive, Liquid Snake got the dominant. Other than that, don't think about it too hard; it doesn't make a lot of sense if you know even a little about genetics. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:41, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Regarding the information about Decoy Octopus (originally added by 139.139.193.12) that I removed, there is nothing given anywhere in Metal Gear Solid or The Twin Snakes about Octopus having "DNA-absorption techniques". There is no cutscene in either game showing Octopus "drinking/licking Donald Anderson's blood to take on his appearance and characteristics" (which is what 139.139.193.12 listed in his edit summary). In fact, the 'real' Octopus is only seen once, and it's when he's dead. Just thought I'd post this in case anyone wondered about it. - DoubleCross 17:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Liquid should go on the "recurring characters" page. His soul is in side Ocelot but he's still Liquid and does play some part in Mgs2. The Bread 04:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Isnt just speculation that naomi is returning to the MGS4 based solely on the poster (the blue one with snake, vamp, raiden ect.).  I'm saying this, because I have heard that the hooded figure that is suspected to be Naomi, might even be Fortune (Im pretty sure she didnt die at the end of MGS2).  If anybody has any proof either way tell me.

message: Vulcan Raven has several similar qualities to the chracter Raven from Snowcrash, and I thought the paralelles were close enough to at least merit some kind of mention. 
Besides the near future settings of their backgrounds Briefly, they are comparable in that Raven is an Aleut, Vulcan Raven is an inuit, both have russian accents, both have tattoos on their forehead (V.R  a raven, Raven a warning stamp) Both are unusually large, both work for an almost religious figure-head (Big Boss, Liquid Snake and L. Bob Rife respectively) and of course, both are involved in some way with plots to 'nuke America'.

message: Nasthasha Romanenko also has a voice-over only cameo in Metal Gear Solid 2.
In substance, whenever Snake would get the 2nd best score She would say "You know what your doing..."
:Actually, that's Olga's voice. She says the exact same line in the main game. Maetch 21:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mei Ling isn't the only one... 

message: The virus was scheduled to kill Solid Snake (who was actually the vector, it's suposed that he is still infected so he could die suddently at any time), Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Vulcan Raven, Decoy Octopus and Kenneth Baker right? There are only three of them who are actually killed by the virus itself: Decoy Octopus, Kenneth Baker and Liquid Snake. The three of them aren't killed immediatly, it take quite a while. What I mean is what Liquid and Ocelot talk about Mantis not being infected because the mask and Wolf due to the tranquilisers (Diazepam) is just  a theory of Liquid who is not awarded of the functioning of the virus. So, Raven, Wolf and Mantis are probably killed by Snake before the virus can actually take effect.

:The way I see it, whereas Octopus and Baker were killed within moments of exposure, Liquid and Ocelot were exposed when they met Snake in the torture room. The likely reason as to why Liquid didn't die as suddenly as the others may be due to the "wildcard factor" that is part of Snake's infection. Since the two Snakes share the same DNA, they were both vulnerable to succumbing to FOXDIE at any time. Unfortunately for Liquid, the virus kicked in at the very end of the game. As for Ocelot, in the "Twin Snakes" version, there is an additional part of dialogue during his call to "Mr. President" where he mentions having been applied with the vaccine beforehand.
