Name: Raiden (Jack)
Universe: Metal Gear
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Appearance: Raiden's most notable thing is the fact he seemingly lacks any flesh from the top of his head down. Why?
Because he doesn't. The only organic parts of his body left are the top of his skull and spine, and even those have been heavily modified. His body is a sleek black and grey, and it essentially makes his body a living weapon.
Look at him! He's essentially the height of technology in the universe of Metal Gear.
Abilities: Raiden is incredibly skilled with armaments of all types, but this Raiden in particular uses a
High Frequency Sword, and is rather skilled with it. He's a rather acrobatic fellow as well, pulling off plenty of incredible stunts such as jumping up large heights, running down buildings, incredible strength- most of this thanks to his cybernetic body. I mean, he suplexed a giant robot. SUPLEXED.
Backstory: Following the events that transpired in both MGS2 (
Big Shell) and MGS4 (
Liquid Ocelot's Outer Haven), Raiden found work in an Private Military Contractor, Maverick Security. Unfortunately for Raiden, he not only lost his cilent but his right eye and arm as well thanks to a sudden attack by a rival group, Desperado. Soon outfitted with an improved cybernetic body, and learning of a far bigger conspiracy with far too many ties to his own past, Raiden attempted to, effectively, wage war on Desperado and
another company tied to it, World Marshal Inc.. For the sake of the RP, this Raiden will be in the process of raiding World Marshal Inc. in Denver, Colorado.
Other: For all his stuff, the year Metal Gear Rising takes place in is
2018! But it also brings up the question of where Snake's place is right now. Between MGS and MGS2? Does he even know Raiden?
