Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

Story

Portable Ops is set in 1970, six years after Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It follows soldier Naked Snake (David Hayter/Akio Ōtsuka), who is forced to fight his former unit, the FOX, after they instigate an uprising at a South American base. In his fight, he meets Roy Campbell (David Agranov/Toshio Furukawa), a surviving member of the Green Berets team sent to investigate the affair. Snake's former teammates, including his commanding officer Major Zero (Jim Piddock/Banjō Ginga), Para-Medic (Heather Halley/Houko Kuwashima) and Sigint (James C. Mathis III/Keiji Fujiwara), return as a support crew as they are suspected of treason alongside Snake. The main antagonist is Gene (Steven Blum/Norio Wakamoto), the current commander of the FOX unit who wants to start his own military nation. He is a product of the Succession Project, which aims to artificially create the perfect commander along the lines of The Boss. He is assisted by Lt. Cunningham (Noah Nelson/Daisuke Gōri), an expert in interrogation techniques. (It is later revealed that he is a double agent for the Pentagon, out to damage the CIA's reputation) Gene also has a protégé named Elisa (Tara Strong/Saori Goto), who has extraordinary psychic abilities, presumably due to the fallout during the Kyshtym disaster. Elisa suffers from dissociative identity disorder and has developed a second personality called 'Ursula', whose psychic abilities are stronger than those of her "Elisa" personality. As 'Ursula', she works as a member of FOX, while her 'Elisa' persona is a paramedic who cares for Zero and is an informant for Snake. Snake meets Elisa, who initially tells him that she and Ursula are twin sisters, only to later learn the truth. Two FOX members previously linked to Snake are Null (Larc Spies/Jun Fukuyama), a teenage assassin trained to be the perfect soldier, and Python (Dwight Schultz/Yusaku Yara), a former war buddy of Snake's who was presumed dead in the Vietnam War. Other characters include Ghost (Brian Cummings/Naoki Tatsuta), an informant who comes into contact with Snake and uncovers the existence of ICBMG, the new Metal Gear prototype, Ocelot (Josh Keaton/Takumi Yamazaki), Ocelot (Josh Keaton/Tumi Yamazaki), a former Spetsnaz major who assists Gene behind the scenes, EVA (Vanessa Marshall/Misa Watanabe), a spy for the PLA who helped Snake in Snake Eater, and Raikov (Charlie Schlatter/Kenyu Horiuchi), a GRU major. Teliko Friedman (Kari Wahlgren/Yūko Nagashima) and Venus (Kathryn Fiore/Rika Komatsu), the heroines from Metal Gear Acid and Metal Gear Acid 2 respectively, can both be added to the player's squad by either completing certain side missions or starting the second playthrough with the save data from their respective games.
