Characters:

    Solid Snake : You take the place of this character. He was assigned to this mission because he's the great government agent from Zanzibar and South Africa who defeated Big Boss twice in Outer Heaven.

    General/Colonel Campbell : This is one of Snakes few friends. He's in charge of this operation, though he used to be in charge of FOX HOUND.

    Meryl : This is the Colonel's niece. She's a rookie and has had no real battle experience but is extensively trained on the VR Simulator. You will only have small meetings with her but is a crucial turning point in the game.

    Master Miller : This is the man who trained you when you were just a rookie yourself. He'll provide you with some help throughout the game and is quite quick to judge.

    Nastasha Romanaski : She's a weapons expert hired to this operation because it is believed that they have the ability to launch a nuclear weapon. (SEE METAL GEAR REX)

    Mei Ling : This is the person you call when you want to save your game. Plus she'll keep you well versed in proverbs and sayings (that sound good at first but after a while are just really really annoying).

    Ninja : This guys a bit of a mystery at the start though as you go through the game he becomes one of the most important parts of the storyline. Plus he looks awesome (He wears a cool EXO - Skeleton) and he wields a Japanese Katana.

    Otacon : His real name is Hal Emmerich but he asks you to call him Otacon. He's one of the main designers of The Metal Gear Project. He's extremely useful throughout the game and runs around in stealth camouflage (which makes him invisible).

    Revolver Ocelot : He's the first boss you fight and obviously he has a revolver and when you fight him you have to wait for him to reload while running around a guy taped to a pole rigged with explosives, LOTS of explosives. Plus later on he tortures you.

    FOX HOUND : It's not so much a character but a team. It consists of masters of their field, originally Snake was a member and Campbell was the leader, the new leader is Liquid Snake (No points on guessing that he has something to do with Solid Snake).

    Liquid Snake : The leader of FOX HOUND he's a pretty cool boss to fight like a lot of bosses you fight him a few times (one's a fist fight on top of REX, which is very addictive).

    Vulcan Raven : He's an Inuet Eskimo "blessed with a body that can survive extreme temperatures". The first time you fight him he's in a tank and the second time he's got a giant and I mean giant mini gun. Nastasha goes on about how they mount the gun on F-16's.

    Psycho Mantis : Again obviously he has psychic abilities. He's a pretty cool boss one of my favorites, he's invisible so you have to equip thermal goggles to see him. One cool thing is that he takes over Meryl and flies behind her so you have to punch her out to get a shot in. One other thing is that you should put you controller in port 2 and he is easy or put it in port 1 and is pretty much harder than the last boss.

    Decoy Octopus : "A master of disguise". He has a bit of a strange part in the game and you accidentally kill him.

    Sniper Wolf : She's a good boss though the first time you fight her you have to walk all the way back to the start (you have to) to get a PSG1 (Sniper Rifle) to beat her. You fight her a second time as well and you find out that Otacon likes her.

    METAL GEAR REX : He's a giant Silver Godzilla like robot in fact he looks exactly like Godzilla with no tail no arms and silver. He even roars at one part, no lie.
