Character name: Liquid Snake
Series: Metal Gear Solid
Age: 33
Job: Harsh Environment Survival Adviser (especially the Alaskan environment, he can tell you more about Alaska than Wikipedia)
Canon: Metal Gear Solid is one of a series of games where you go on super secret infiltration missions to stop screeching two-legged tanks and nukes. There will be many nameless guards in your way, but this game punishes you mercilessly for running straight through with guns blazing. Instead, consider crawling and hiding in cardboard boxes. You will encounter broken fourth walls, sexy Japanese girl posters, enough cutscenes to make several feature-length movies, and nerds with sensitive bladders. One of the shining features is the dispersal of hardcore boss fights. Each boss has flamboyant characteristics and a special weapon or ability. Liquid's special ability is surviving an Alaskan winter without a shirt on.

Liquid Snake is the twin brother of Solid Snake, both clones of Big Boss. He believes that he got all of Big Boss' "inferior genes" while Solid Snake got the cool ones. It turns out he was the superior one after all, and somewhere along the line someone lied to him to mess with his head. He's like the kid who was told he was getting new socks for Christmas while his brother is promised a Nintendo Wii. The result is a lot of angry whining.

Also worth noting is that he committed identity theft against a man called Master Miller in order to gain Snake's trust by telling him random facts about Alaska.

Hello. This is Master McDonell Miller, your camp survival instructor for the evening. Today I will be advising you on how to avoid a vicious purple gorilla attack.

Since a purple gorilla is roughly the same size as a wild polar bear, the same principle can be applied. Whatever you do, don't go near a baby purple gorilla, no matter how cute you think it is. The mother will most likely be nearby, and they are very protective of their young. Always keep the camp clean. Keep your dishes washed and store food in airtight containers hung in trees at least eight feet off the ground. The smell of food can attract a gorilla from miles away. If one is nearby, try hiding in a cardboard box. A box is a valuable tool for hiding from a possible attack in nearly any situation. I highly recommend keeping one in your inventory for any outing. If for some reason you lost your cardboard box, talk loudly to the purple gorilla and wave your arms to make yourself look bigger than it. If you're lucky, it will be intimidated and leave. Curl into a ball and play dead in the event that it attacks you instead. There's a good chance the gorilla will lose interest and wander away.

I'll be collecting information on purple gorillas for the next few days. It is likely that they are genetic copies of silverback gorillas, modified to have certain genes that make them purple in color. That would mean there may be another color of gorilla out there. When certain genes are given to one embryo in the womb, the rest need to be expelled to a twin. It's not fair, but that's how scientists breed "perfect" clones. That careless manipulation of DNA can change a being's very fate. I can't say yet if these are the inferior or superior color of gorilla, but I intend to find out very soon.

Oh, and one last thing. Don't spend too much time in front of a computer. Reading a lot of text at once, like if you're going through applications, can strain your eyes and give you a headache, especially if your monitor has a high brightness setting. If you start to feel nauseated, discontinue use right away. Consider taking a half hour break and going outside. ...But don't forget to bring a box with you.
