Fandom Metal Gear Solid Roleplay

[SeantheIrishman]

So I had a plan a while back to essentially remake the Metal Gear story with a roleplay group. We would start with the Original Metal Gear, then move on to MG2, then Metal Gear Solid, then MGS2, then we would go back in time with Snake Eater, Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain, and finally end with MGS4.

I envision a more streamlined story that could be more accessible to mainstream western audiences whilst remaining true to Kojima's original vision. For starters, the world would be a bit more grounded with no unexplained powers and abilities. We would obviously keep any characters with powers and abilities, we would simply rationally, (or as rationally as possible), explain how they got their powers. I also intend to do away with some of the more outlandish jokes and fourth wall breaks. I would also make a few adjustments to the story. For example, I would do away with Portable Ops and incorporate some of its elements, like Snake meeting Campbell and Kaz, into Peace Walker's story. I would also streamline the story of Phantom Pain and rework the ending. As far as technology goes, I would get rid of any official "Metal Gears" before TX-55, beyond of course the Shagohad and Peace Walker.

Essentially we would be reworking the story whilst adding our own flair and creating a few original characters to supplement the story. I am looking for about 10 partners, preferably Metal Gear fans, and experienced role-players who are not exclusively combat or ERP players. I can't wait to begin this journey with you all, and I am excited to see where this goes!

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Eyy! I'd be interested!

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Could I possibly reserve Snake and Solidus as well? I also have an original character or two for this!

 

[SeantheIrishman]

Rusty of Shackleford Solidus yes! As for Snake, would you mind sending me a writing sample as him? Perhaps rewriting a selection of his and Meryl’s conversation when they meet in MGS4? I will be playing Venom/Ahab, and possibly big boss, depending on who I get involved in the rp

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Eh, I'll just play Solidus. I think him and my character will do. I'll take other characters as needed, though.

 

[SeantheIrishman]

Awesomeness! Glad to have you on board!

 

[Fable]

or ERP players

You shouldn't have to worry about this as ERP is strictly prohibited here on RpNation. If anyone solicits for such content, report them ;3

 

[MainEventMan]

I'm interested! Could I possibly reserve Snake? If not, I can be Big Boss as well.

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Snake is open! Big Boss is already taken.

 

[MainEventMan]

Alright then! I can reserve Snake if he's still open

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Great! You'll have to clear it with the GM.

 

[SeantheIrishman]

MainEventMan Great! If you wouldn't mind submitting a writing sample as Snake to me?

 

[MainEventMan]

This is from a crossover RP I was in a while back. I hope this works as a sample! XD

Solid Snake
Location: Valpan

"Snake, this is Col. Campbell. Do you copy?"

"This is Snake. I read you loud and clear, Colonel."

"Good. I take it your infiltration of what used to be SHIELD Headquarters has seen no interference?"

"They don't even know I'm here."

"Good. Now that you're in position, I'll brief you on your objectives. At Zero Eight Hundred Hours this morning, a SHIELD Commander and his men were found dead in their own headquarters. Judging by the bizarre shape of their wounds, we have reason to believe that the Third Reich is responsible."

"The Third Reich? I thought World War II was over."

"So did we. But it seems anything is possible within the realms of multi-dimensional convergence."

"Multi-dimensional convergence?"

"Yes, Snake. As you are aware, two inter-dimensional godlike beings; The Beyonder and Bat-Mite have created their own worlds by borrowing bits and pieces of other worlds throughout the far reaches of the multiverse."

"Mrrgh...this is starting to sound like some kind of bad comic book plot."

"One thing at a time, Snake. Our main priority is finding out what the Nazis are up to. Otacon was able to hack into comms of the Third Reich's soldiers and we've discovered the identity of their leader. A Nazi Vampire by the name of John Falsworth. Otherwise known as 'Baron Blood'".

"Baron Blood? Nazi Vampires? This all seems too outlandish to be real."

"Like I said, Snake. Multi-dimensional convergence. Anything is possible. Your objective is to find Falsworth and eliminate him."

"With a stake through the heart?"

"Precisely. He is a vampire, after all. After that, your final objective is to eliminate Adolf Hitler."

"Kill Hitler? I'm starting to like this mission."

"That's good to hear, Snake. But remember, this is a sneaking mission. Try not to draw too much attention to yourself. Otacon, Naomi, Mei Ling, Miller and I are all on standby should you need our assistance. Good Luck."

And with that, the codec call was ended. Sitting in an unguarded corner of the SHIELD base, was a simple, un-examined cardboard box. The box lifted up slightly, Snake poking his head out from underneath it. He looked left, then right. Once the coast was clear, he pushed aside the box, standing up to a crouch. "Operation: Let's Kill Hitler; commencing."

 

[SeantheIrishman]

Perfect actually

This is... amazing...he even asks a lot of questions!

[MainEventMan]

Perfect actually

XD thanks so much!

speaking of which where were you

Sorry, I guess I just kind of lost interest.

 

[Phantom Thief of Hearts]

XD thanks so much!


Sorry, I guess I just kind of lost interest.

would have been nice to have gotten a heads up, mate.

 

[Sleek]

I'd be very interested in this RP, though some of my lore is rusty

 

[SeantheIrishman]

Hey Sleek ! No problem, we are just going along and making up our own. So long as you know the basic plot, you should be good.

 

[Sleek]

Sounds great! Let me know when this is ready to go.

 

[SeantheIrishman]

Sleek Any specific character you'd like to reserve?

 

[Sleek]

Maybe Venom Snake/Ahab, but otherwise, not really.

 

[SeantheIrishman]

Oof Sleek I'm already playing him, but we can find someone I'm certain

 

[Specialist]

I'm interested! Though I'm unsure my OC would fit within the setting/timeline exhibited here. Maybe, maybe not. PM me if ya want a look.
