## Biography

### Early Life and Career (1964-1985)

Solid Snake was created in the "Really Mediocre Babies" incident where he was created in a lab along side Liquid Snake. After the test was done, they threw both of the children outside in a trash can to Big Boss's disapproval. The two children were found by two random ladies on the side of the road, one British and the other American and were "adopted". Big Boss spent 4 years looking for the kids but by that point Solid was a full AMERICAN and Liquid was a stinky British "person". He took them back into his care where he raised them in Kingston, Philadelphia. Solid Snake always had more friends than Liquid and, despite still not being liked by his father, was the favorite of the two.

In High School, Solid Snake learned to box and began lifting weights, much to Liquid's disappointment as he was still reading books. Solid and Liquid Snake had two friends in common, the more enabler-esque Mei Ling, and Rocky Balboa, and the latter got Liquid to stop being such a pussy and actually man up for once. Rocky later went on to single handedly end the Cold War but Solid Snake nor Liquid Snake remember his name. For a short time in their teens (late 16-early 18) Mei Ling, Solid Snake, and Liquid Snake became hippies, one reason being to rebel against their father and because it was popular. Rocky refrained from being a hippie and dropped out of high school at 17.

### FOXHOUND (1986-1990)

After High School Solid Snake joined an organization founded by his father named FOXHOUND, much to his father's dismay.

On his first mission in 1986, Operation Intrude N313, he entered a building to save a soldier named Gray Fox and found out that Outer Heaven, ruled by his brother, was creating a Metal Gear with the forced help of Doctor Drago Pettrovich Madnar to destroy the world with nukes and stuff. So with the help of rebels Kyle Schneider, Jennifer, Diane, and Dr. Pettrovich's daughter Ellen, he beat the shit out of his brother. Liquid Snake barely got away with his life and the two called each other arch rivals from that point forward.

He served in a few more missions before quitting Foxhound for what he believed for good. Liquid Snake, disguised as a different person, promising that he was a changed man, joined Foxhound.

### Time in Alaska (1990-1992)

After Snake left FOXHOUND, he went to live with his "Uncle" Kazuhira Miller in Alaska and, due to him being a war hero, was praised in his community. He didn't appreciate this and would normally stay secluded in his house, only accepting Kaz as a visitor.

### Shadow Moses (1992)

During a training mission in late February 1992 on Shadow Moses, a remote island off the coast of Alaska containing a nuclear weapons facility, FOXHOUND and the Next-Generation Special Forces rebelled against the United States Government, under the command of Liquid Snake. Their target was the advanced weapon system Metal Gear REX, a gigantic robotic weapons platform with worldwide nuclear strike capabilities. Their demand was the body of the greatest soldier who ever lived, Big Boss, which, through gene therapy, they could use to create an army of ultimate soldiers.

With the safety of the entire world at stake, at the request of the Secretary of Defense, Colonel Roy Campbell, the former commander of FOXHOUND, summoned Solid Snake out of retirement for one last solo covert operation to save the DARPA Chief, save the ArmsTech President, and stop Liquid.

Throughout his journey he fought 7 rouge members of Foxhound. Psycho Mantis, Revolver Ocelot, Decoy Octopus, Vulcan Raven, Silver Husky, Grey Fox, and Liquid Snake. To help Snake were Colonel Campbell, Naomi Hunter, Mei Ling, Nastasha Romanenko, and Kazuhira Miller.

When Snake found the DARPA Chief in his prison cell, he attempted to learn what was going on, the only thing he learned was the location of the ArmsTech President, but the Chief mysteriously died of a heart attack. Across the way, in another cell Meryl escaped, stole an enemy uniform and dressed in it, and opened the DARPA Chief's cell. When she found the Chief dead and a man who looked kinda threatening, she assumed the worst and attempted to attack Snake, Snake, also assuming the worst but noticing that she wasn't very skilled, decided to be very blunt. However their interaction was cut short when several soldiers enter the room attempting to kill the two. Snake pleads with Meryl to shoot the soldiers, which she does after being whiny and stuff. Before Snake can ask any questions, Meryl runs away still in the enemy uniform. When she gets into the elevator, Snake sees Psycho Mantis fly through the roof, Snake assumes this is him going crazy.

Snake goes to the ArmsTech President's location and sees him strapped up to a massive bomb and a mysterious man who calls himself Revolver Ocelot attempts to shoot him. Snake beats the shit out of Ocelot, and Ocelot runs away like a coward. Snake once again attempts to learn anything from the person he was trying to save, to which the ArmsTech President tells him to find Otacon Emmerich so he can destroy the Metal Gear before the terrorists use it. The President also gives Snake the frequency of a soldier named Meryl and a key to destroy Metal Gear. Snake calls Meryl and promptly starts flirting, in response, Meryl opens the door Snake needs to go through to get to Hal's building.

In the next field Snake fights Vulcan Raven, of whom he promptly kills.

In the next building, Snake goes down a bloody hallway full of the soldiers who attempted to overthrow Liquid and save Otacon. In his office, Snake finds his old comrade Grey Fox, manhandling a pathetic nerd who hides in a locker after pissing himself. Snake fights Grey Fox, but before he can kill him, Grey Fox escapes. The nerd, who turns out to be Otacon, tells Snake that he didn't know he has making a walking nuke tank and to destroy it you need three keys to insert in a machine near the beast. Otacon gives Snake his frequency for later use and tells him where to go to get to the Metal Gear.

Snake goes to the area Otacon told him to go to and met with Meryl again, who he flirted with again. Snake and Meryl go down the hallway to Metal Gear's building and Meryl gets possessed by Psycho Mantis who tempts Snake to punch Meryl. Snake punches Meryl and knocks her unconscious, which shocks Mantis. Snake then mentally switches his controller to port 2 and beats the shit out of Psycho Mantis. Psycho Mantis tells Snake how badass he is because he doesn't only exist for women's charms. Snake and Meryl continue down the hallway into a cold room with a ton of wolves that love Meryl but hate Snake.

In the following room Meryl gets sniped by Silver Husky but she is kept alive, in response Snake runs all the way back to the beginning, grabs a rifle, and shoots Silver Husky. Mysteriously, Meryl is no longer in the room. When Silver collapses, Snake finds it save to cross, but OH SHIT HE WASN'T DEAD!!! Silver Husky captures Snake and scratches him sexually or something and then brings him into Ocelot's BDS- Torture Chamber, his Torture Chamber. Ocelot attempts to get info out of Snake, he tells Snake that if he gives up then Meryl will die, so due to Snake's love of this girl he never met before today he survived and escaped. He goes back to the area where he fought Silver Husky. Otacon meets up with Snake and just starts gushing about how hot Silver Husky is and how he's gotta be a good person because he loves dogs. Otacon begs Snake not to kill Silver if they come in contact but Snake promises nothing.

Snake climbs to the top of the tower to get to the Metal Gear and fights Liquid in a HIND, Liquid looses and crash lands.

Snake then goes to the outside in a woods area. Silver Husky snipes at Snake. Otacon begs to Snake one more time, but it's futile. Snake stands on the right hand side of the map and spams missiles. Otacon goes uninvisable and cries like a baby, but Snake had to put Silver Husky out of his misery, so with Otacon facing away, Snake shot Silver. Otacon cried even louder to which Snake, not quite knowing how to console people, decided to hug Otacon because that's how Kaz and Paramedic treated Snake when he cried.

Snake and Otacon went on to the next room. Otacon used stealth camo to go invisible. As Snake goes down an elevator, Kaz tells Snake that Naomi is a traitor. In a cold room, Snake was met with an angry Grey Fox, who wanted to fight Snake to the death, bare handed. They fought violently until Snake came out the victor, with a slumped over Grey Fox in the corner. Snake goes into the next room and sees the massive Metal Gear REX. Naomi tells Snake about Foxdie. A program that was created to kill all of the members of the Foxhound terrorists, which would include Liquid and anyone with the same genetic code, that being Snake. Otacon tells Snake that he'll figure out how to destroy it. Otacon figures out that he needs to put the Key in different temperatures to put in the machine and destroy the Metal Gear. Which Snake does, until he figures out OH SHIT HE WAS TRICKED!?!? KAZ WAS DEAD (noooooooooo!)!?!?!?! THE KAZ HE WAS TALKING TO WAS LIQUID!?!?!??!?! SNAKE JUST ACTIVATED METAL GEAR REX!?!?!??!?! Snake saw a shirtless Liquid exposition, which jump into the Metal Gear. But our hero Solid Snake knows Liquid Snake's weakness, missiles. Snake sends tons of missiles at REX until it collapses and Snake is knocked unconscious. Snake awakes and sees Meryl laying down next to a bomb. Liquid says that he will set it off, the government says they're gonna bomb Shadow Moses, just a whole lot is about to happen.

Snake and Liquid fistfight on the REX until Liquid falls off. Snake saves Meryl who is alive (thankfully) but before they can kiss Shadow Moses starts getting bombed. Otacon says he will open the gates in a badass sacrifice and Snake and Meryl make it out. They spot Liquid but his car is too slow to catch up to them. Liquid makes it out as well and is knocked unconscious in the car crash that he made it out in. Snake fears his life for a bit before Naomi calls him and says he'll probably be ok and tells him that the military won't be attacking the base anymore.

Snake rides away on the ice with Meryl.

Snake and Meryl stayed together for a few years until 1995 where Snake was forced on a mission and due to Meryl constantly messaging him through letter and Codec, his position was almost given away and he decided to not show up to Meryl's famous Thanksgiving party.. While Snake cut contact with Meryl for a bit, he never cut contact with Otacon.

### Zanzibar Disturbance (1995)

The mission was simple, save Doctor Kio Marv from the grasps of Zanzibar island. Only later did he realize he was being pitted against his once allies. First, he fought against his once ally, Kyle Schneider, of whom told him where to find Doctor Marv. When he got to the location he found instead Dr. Pettrovich who called him over the codec, Doctor Pettrovich told Snake of his life over the years since their last encounter, saying his daughter had grown feelings for him and wouldn't marry any other man, he also gave Snake the approximate location of Kio Marv. Pettrovich gave Snake one last important piece of information, Big Boss was the leader of Zanzibar Island and he was going to mass produce Metal Gears.

Snake promised Pettrovich that he would save him and that he would "make sure he made it to his daughter's wedding." Snake went to the next building to learn that a helpful informant, Holly White, was captured, after saving her -- and commenting on her beauty -- he promises to meet her if they make it out alive. He went on to save Kio Marv and Drago Pettrovich. While trying to escape, Pettrovich betrays the two and murders Kio Marv. Snake fights Pettrovich but is eventually halted by none other than Gray Fox. After Snake defeats another one of his former comrades he gets a call from Holly and they agree to meet on Christmas.

Snake goes into the next room to see Big Boss, his father, challenge him to a duel. With a solemn look on his face Snake had to burn his father to death, but during the burning process he found that Big Boss was saying many things the one he knew would never say. He then destroys Zanzibar's stash of Metal Gears.

After his mission is complete he is forced to run into the wilderness, unable to meet Holly for Christmas.

### Post-Zanzibar (Early 1996)

He searches his old neighborhood for any information on Big Boss just to learn that he had killed himself.

### Clones of the Week (1996)

After a while, as he was getting bored with life, Snake decided to make clones, one for every day of the week, a Monday Snake, Tuesday Snake, Wednesday Snake, Thursday Snake, Friday Snake, and Sunday Snake. Monday Snake was known for being as bit annoying and louder than the other Snakes. Tuesday Snake was more flirtatious, especially with Otacon. Wednesday Snake was more tactical, trying to make a plan for the day as soon as he got up and sticking to that Plan. Thursday Snake was extraordinarily calm and collective to a threatening degree, he was also eerily good at sneaking up behind somebody. Friday Snake was fueled only by coffee and barely stayed awake on his day. Finally, Sunday Snake was always peaceful and quiet. He made one more clone, which, due to the said clone's immense power, Solid Snake decided to make the clone mute and quite a bit dumber than the rest, usually listening to commands. He dubbed the last clone Silly Snake. Nobody knows the "mother" of these Snakes

### Liquid and Solid's Meeting (1996)

Before Snake's vacation, Liquid and Solid met up and talked. They revealed a lot about each other, on how they both didn't really hate each other. Snake apologized for his behavior and they talked about their struggles in childhood. The two looked at their father's will and found out that Liquid got nothing and Solid got a mansion and staff. An old friend of Big Boss, Shaggy, met Solid and Liquid and Shaggy told them that if they needed help, he would be there. Snake said goodbye to Liquid as he was going on vacation and they both promised to hang out later.

### GM\_Ashpit (1996)

During a vacation with Solid Snake, Raiden, and Silly Snake accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up in GM\_Ashpit. Both Raiden and Silly Snake escaped, Solid only not escaping due to the fact that they eventually got separated. Meryl was apparently stalking them the whole time and when she eventually caught up to them, she was also transported to GM\_Ashpit. Snake and Meryl eventually got to talking, revealing how they each felt annoyed by the other. Meryl eventually found the tower Raiden and Silly Snake used to escape and tried to beckon Snake to come with her, however, Snake couldn't find his way there and ended up "making friends" with 2 watermelons, dubbed Mr and Mrs Watermelon, and 2 lobsters, dubbed Mr and Ms Lobster. Meryl eventually left without Snake after he promised he'd find his way out. When Meryl exited she saw Thursday Snake, who began pretending to be Solid Snake and assumed that Solid had escaped, not knowing it was Thursday Snake.

Diary of Solid Snake during the Events of GM Ashpit

While Solid Snake was there he heard many times from the voices there that something was waiting for him in Atlantis.

After a few weeks in normal world time, and around 3400 years Snake's time, Meryl finally came back for Snake. While Snake didn't exactly remember her, he did know of a Meryl written in his diary and he also knew of demons who pretended to be her. At first believing she was a demon, he was hostile. He later knew that she was in fact another real person, when which he began to trust her. They eventually found Shaggy's TARDIS and entered it.

### A Week in the TARDIS (1996)

Meryl and Snake were stuck in the TARDIS for around 2 weeks and in that time, while learning about his past from Meryl, Snake fell in love with her again. They danced together, slept at different times to make sure they didn't crash, and a lot of other things. At one point Snake figured out how to play music in the TARDIS, and he got it stuck twice. They eventually landed in Detroit but didn't realize. When Shaggy found them later, they were dancing to an Acapella version of Day n' Nite.

After Snake and Meryl talked for a bit, Snake told Meryl that colonel was her father, which he thought she knew. They asked Liquid to help them out and he sent a Hind D to help them fly back home.

### Operation Nay-Say (1996)

A small bit after Snake's return, Snake is forced out on a mission to escort a wheelchair bound Russian scientist named Heavy to the United States to talk to the President. However, while he's bringing Heavy through Russia, Liquid kidnaps him and takes him to a tea party to discuss things. Snake calls Heavy, and while he thinks that he is talking using codec, Heavy is listening via speaker phone, so Liquid hears everything about Snake trying to save him. Liquid attempts to be snarky and cool and stuff but that's kind of difficult for him so he decides he might as well just run over Heavy with a jet. Snake catches Liquid before he can attack Heavy and Snake beats Liquid.

Liquid swears revenge but is again beaten by Snake before saying that he will return again. Snake calls Liquid via codec when he wasn't returning, but his call is only returned with the unfamiliar voice of a women saying "Liquid will not be available for some time now..." When Snake tries to ask what she means, worrying for the safety of his brother, she tells him Liquid has been neutralized. She tells him that his incessant asking was getting on her nerves, as he wasn't apart of the planned operation. She makes it clear that he and Heavy are now targets.

Snake decides to go underground with Heavy and hide him in spawn, he hides him with a silly had and codename, Gurlukovich, which is a name Snake remembers but he doesn't know from where. This disguise is perfect until Heavy gives away their position accidentally over codec. The assassin snipes Snake and takes Heavy, but she didn't know Snake had life pills and he comes back to life. When he comes back, the assassin, who reveals her name to be EVA, talks to Snake and warns what bringing him to the president could do. During their conversation, Heavy shoots EVA, and reveals his disability has been fake the whole time, Heavy escapes to bring himself to the president himself. Snake panics and uses a life pill on EVA in an attempt to bring her back to life. EVA comments on how much like Big Boss he looks, a comment Snake is confused by. They begin their long search for Heavy.

Snake gets confused on how EVA knows so much about him and his father, and when pressed, EVA reveals that she is Snake's mother. This revelation strikes Snake with joy, grief, anger, and sadness as he doesn't quite know how to react. They decide to continue their hunt for Heavy. When they find him Heavy reveals that if he doesn't get to the president, "they" will kill his family. Snake promises Heavy that he and his mother won't let "them" kill his family. Heavy is satisfied with this and allows Snake to kill him.

### Russian Defense (1996)

When Snake and EVA arrive at Heavy's snowy beat down house, they find his family, scared and hungry inside. Another old friend Kermit the Frog, comes by to help the defense of Heavy's family as well. Weapons are given to the family when the group hears something strange outside. While it looks like a person it lunges at Snake and they find that it isn't alive under any natural means. Kermit reveals that this is a Russian zombie experiment. They protect the family until Otacon comes down with a helicopter and saves Snake, Eva, Kermit, and Heavy's family. They brought Heavy's family to America and let them live in Snake's mansion along with Snake's 50 huskies.

### A Walk in the City (1996)

Snake invited Meryl down to Golden City and he borrowed Raiden's motorcycle to let them travel around. Snake was planning on proposing to Meryl that evening but he never decided to strike the question. Raiden eventually figured out about his motorcycle being stolen and destroyed and gets ready to destroy Snake before Shaggy comes down and talks to Raiden for the first time since the war. Shaggy left to go check out the future. Once Snake promised to fix Raiden's bike, Snake kept asking Raiden about his relationship with Rose and how he should propose to Meryl, he kept asking why they broke up and why they couldn't get back. Raiden got angry at Snake so they moved on from the topic.

When Shaggy returned he seemed panicked and when questioned he said that Crocker will return in the future and conquer the world. Shaggy kept leaving and returning with grimmer and grimmer news until he returns and nobody came out. When Snake and Raiden checked the TARDIS they saw Shaggy hanging inside and several dangerous Crocker clones. Snake decided to enter one of these and he tried to talk to Crocker through the TARDIS but all he got were messages, so they sent taunting messages back and forth. Snake promised Crocker that he would beat his ass so hard that is would be impossible to sit down and that he would send a pole so far up his ass that it would come out the other side.

After they fought them off another TARDIS arrived with Shaggy inside of it. This Shaggy, however, didn't recognize Snake or Raiden. He saw the other, more withered TARDIS and found his dead body.

While he was inside, the TARDIS began dissipating and all Snake and Raiden could do is hear the panicked screams of Shaggy to let him out. After that many more TARDISs arrived with more Shaggy corpses and more Crockers but eventually a TARDIS arrived with an alive Shaggy and a Crocker clone he brought back to help Snake and Raiden learn about the future. The Crocker reveals that they would become some of the greatest army men for Crocker which shocked the both of them. Shaggy decided to head back and forth to figure out what else may happen.

Snake decided that this was what the voices in Ashpit meant when they told him to go to Atlantis.

He told Raiden about how they needed to go to Atlantis and when he said this Shaggy returned with good news. A rebellion with Big Boss tried to fight against Crocker, while they did end up loosing, that doesn't change that this is something new.

Raiden and Shaggy leave and Meryl comes back to Snake. Snake tells her that they need to find Atlantis and when she asks why another TARDIS comes and Snake gives Meryl a few life pills. Meryl figures everything out and they agree to go to Atlantis with Raiden and Otacon.

## Personality and Traits

Snake, on the outside, was an unhumble, confident, bastard. He was very "noble" when it came to talking to women and was very much a womanizer. He was mostly taught his ways by Big Boss, who himself was negatively impacted by women, but was also affected by his absence of a mother figure. He had not many emotions on the surface, but on the inside was a very emotional person. His emotions would explode often.
