## History

Jack was a Liberian child without parents and was adopted by Solidus Snake, the American president who killed Jack's parents and turned him into a child soldier. After being enlisted in the Liberian Civil War, becoming the captain of his own unit, and gaining the nickname "Jack the Ripper" from how many people he killed, Jack was abandoned by Solidus. Dick move by Solidus. But to make a long and confusing story short, Jack met this girl named Rose, joined forced with Solid Snake to right his wrongs, get a new code name known as Raiden, destroy giant robots called Metal Gears, and then kill the dad-killing-dad when he was a soon-to-be dad from knocking up Rose. Alls well that ends well, right?

Well wrong! Turns out that Rose was a Patriot spy that was controlling Raiden all along. But then Rose tricked the Patriots and still loved Raiden, then ended up fucking again because the first child ended in a miscarriage or something, and had a kid. But the Patriots wasn't done messing with Raiden. They captured him and used him to make superhuman cyborg ninjas by giving him an enhanced, robotic exoskeleton like some sort of soldier cockroach of death.

## Quotes

Yeah, I'm here. What am I here for, by the way?

Gotcha. I'll update you if I find anything.

And who wants to know?

I guess you can say I'm part machine. You have a problem with that, lady?

You wanna fight? Fine then, I'll just get rid of you and be on my way.

What the hell?

What the hell?

What is this? Why can't I move?

That was weird. What was her problem anyways?

I'm more than meets the eye, lady. That is, if you can see with that blindfold on.

Sorry to bust your bubble lady...

...I'm no android!

That's done with. Who the hell was that, anyways?

Lay it on me.

Well I think I found your target. Would've told you sooner but got interrupted.

Be on the look out for someone similar to this lady, got it.

So there's another one of you out here, huh?

These people cyborgs, too?

There's two of you?

Machine? Heh, you got half of that right. Well, you're who I've been looking for. Guess only one of us will be leaving here today.

This trick is getting old.

What the-

Oh shi-

Shit! Not right now!

Gotta get her off my trail somehow...

You're good, lady. I'll give you that.

But I'm better!

Shit! Not again!

Pain... This is why I fight.

This is my normal. My nature.

Send in more! I'm not done until I'm satisfied! It's time for Jack the Ripper-

-to let it rip!

Damn it... Almost there...!

Heh... Good fighting with you.
