On the request of
catwoman28 this is an ooc for mun knowledge only post. She wanted to know more about things important to Snake's canon. I know there are more that I've missed. There is no way that I've gotten all of them but it is a good start.
ATACS: (Autonomous tactical and combat system) Sometime in 2008 Snake Plissken was captured and his personality and memories were copied. These were to be installed in a 10 foot tall bulletproof robot. The intention was that if a bot could think like Snake and had his skills catching Snake and other criminals like him would be easier. With Gerhard pushing to get the model out it went into service before being tested. The units keep going haywire when the personality suppression programming fails. This leaves a police robot that is nearly indestructible running around thinking exactly like Snake.
Black Light: Snake’s glider squadron during the war. There were sixty but he often went on missions with just 6 of them since they did recon and rescue. The squadron was best known for search and destroy. Fearless in combat. The squadron was decorated continuously. Snake was the youngest man to command a full squadron in the field at the age of 20. The normal 6 were Snake (Command, weapons and tactical expert), Bill Taylor (Command, electrical and computer expert), Sophia Karsonova (Communications), Cooper (Bomb and explosives), Bradley (Medical officer and Priest) and Tiger (Repair and linguistics)
Coreburner: A large gun used by the military that specializes in shooting magnesium rounds.
Crazies: (Gas Crazy, Cannibal) Early in the war, around 1987, governments started using a neurotoxic gas. Those in immediate vicinity died instantly. However the gas in diffused doses causes a slow determination of the mind. One of the first symptoms of gas craziness is light sensitivity. From there the person becomes more aggressive and ravenously hungry. In the final stages loss of speech and the ability to speak or understand sentences is common.
The gas crazies inhabit sewers and abandoned buildings. At night they come to the surface to hunt. Human flesh is a preferred food as the gas poisoning becomes more severe. It’s estimated 2/3rds of the world population has some degree of gas poisoning.
Directive 17: (The moral crimes bill, Life presidency Bill, Robertson act) The first action when President Robertson took the oath of office. This dissolved the Legislative and Judicial branches of the government. It gave the president a life term and full control of the military. Also it included the Moral Crimes Bill which listed crimes that would be punishable by death or deportation based on Robertson’s religious views.
Diamond Dolls: An east coast all female gang. They traffic drugs and rule the sex industry. Known for taking in orphan girls and women down on their luck. The women though usually kind turn viciously on anyone who cross them. Snake has a good relationship with this gang given his past love of whores and whorehouses.
Disc Reader: A small cellphone like device that reads tiny information discs. Normal readers provide audio playback and record as well as information storage. The advanced version has a holographic camera/recording device and can record and emit holographic images as well.
Gulfire Glider An engineless glider. There are two take off methods. One in tow of a plane and the other with a initial jet pack burn. These are recon planes. Snake was the best pilot of a Gulfire that the military had ever seen.
Gypsies: One of the groups of gangs found in the USA. The Gypsies are known for being thieves, gun runners and informants.
Indians: (The Savages) Often regarded as the closest to being true Crazies most Indians are wild. They collect scalps and heads. Rarely does anyone try to deal with them.
LA Deportation Center:, (LA Island.) A major earthquake separated LA from the mainland and created the San Fernado Sea. When Robertson started the Directive 17 he deported those considered to be unfit for American society to this island in addition to New York Max.
Leningrad Ruse: A government propaganda move to kill off the best squadrons in the military and revitalize the support of the American populous. A spy, which wasn’t a spy at all, was captured. The Black Light and Texas Thunder were sent in. The idea was that they would all die. Hauk, Rehme, Snake and Taylor managed to make it back alive.
Metavirus: A biological weapon and mutagen produced by the government. The original was stolen by Snake and destroyed. It was re-engineered and started leaking into the environment. Snake is still is trying to destroy it. There seem to be several versions of it that mutate the genetic code.
New York Maximum Security Penitentiary : Manhattan was the first area hit by gas in the war. To deal with the Crazies there and the crime explosion as the fire and gas bombings went on the United States walled off Manhattan Island as a prison. Escape is impossible. Once you go in you never come out. It’s every man for themselves, gangs rule and once a month food is dropped for anyone who can fight to get and keep it.
New Vegas, Thailand: Thailand is an American Territory. New Vegas though is uncontrollable. Considered the land of sin by the government and the land of freedom by anyone who is rebelling against Directive 17. Snake spends a good deal of time here gunfighting and doing business.
Plutoxin Virus: (Plutoxin 1-7) A viral biological weapons experiment. Several trials were conducted where prisoners and deportees were purposely infected to see what the killing rates were for various strains. All but Plutoxin 7 is considered leathal.
Punks: A gang of mostly drifters that have adopted the “Punk” style. Considered useless, drug-addled and crazy by most.
Saigon Shadows: A gang started by Carjack Malone/Hershe Las Palmas sometime after the incident in Cleveland. Composed of mostly Mexicans, Transgenders, drag kings/queens and other sexual deviants the gang runs guns and drugs.
Skulls: As their name implies this gang is considered full of killers. Not completely trusted by the other gangs.
Texas Thunder: Bob Hauk’s (Now Police commissioner Hauk) glider squadron in the war.
Shark Submarine: Turbine and later nuclear powered one man submarine. Snake is skilled in piloting, bombing and clearing mine fields with these.
The Sword of Damocles: (Damocles, Damocles satellite array, Damocles Satellite) A EMP releasing satellite defense array launched by President Robertson sometime around 2009 or 2010. The Damocles can emit EMP pulses anywhere on the Earth. It can pinpoint devices or blanket the whole world.
The West (The West Coast) The Pacific Northwest after the war became a land of lawlessness that spread down the entire west coast. No one in their right mind went west unless they were the worst of the worst. Many attacks against the government and rebellious fronts started in this area.
Turks: A gang that solely accepts teenage deviants. Typically between the ages of 13 and 25 this gang is more about surviving and thieving than anything else.
