Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots/Characters: Difference between revisions

''Guns of the Patriots'' is one giant [[Continuity Nod]] and has appearences by almost every major character in the series, some of which have radically changed in appearence and personality. Regardless, tropes for those characters should go in the character pages for the games they debuted in, not here. This is for characters that first appeared in ''Guns of the Patriots'' only. That includes Raiden, Revolver Ocelot, and the Patriots. For pages they all appear on, see:

=== Characters that debuted in ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'': ===

* [[Cool Shades]]

* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]

* [[Finger-Snap Lighter]]: One of his many parlor tricks.

* [[Honest John's Dealership]]: Deconstruction: He has done questionable practices, such as injecting potential customers with "transmitters" to essentially spy on them, but his sales, illegal as they may be, actually are genuine and not ripoffs of weapons, and he also makes it fairly clear that he would never betray his customers.

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]

* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|Sort of: Drebin was an agent of the Patriots, but he then reveals that he wasn't upset with Otacon or Snake at all for taking the Patriots [[A Is]] offline. On the contrary, he thanked them, as it allowed him and his fellow Drebins to form their own business.}}

----

* [[Combat Tentacles]]

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Laughing Octopus drops the F-bomb shortly before fighting Snake, and is notably the only character in the English version of the series (and the second in the series overall, see EVA) to do so.

* [[Shapeshifter Guilt Trip]]: Laughing Octopus pulls one during her boss fight after you damage her enough. Actually, a bunch of the forms she takes mock you in one way or another; she even rips off Snake's own signature move by hiding within a cardboard box at one point.

----

* [[Demonic Possession]]: Variation: Although the ending of the battle implies that {{spoiler|Psycho Mantis possessed her}}, it's not so much that {{spoiler|Mantis's spirit actually possessed her}} as it was that Screaming Mantis was injected with nanomachines that contained {{spoiler|portions of Psycho Mantis' psyche}}.

* [[Human Shield]]: Screaming Mantis is fond of this; she can telekinetically float the bodies of people and control them, and will often use an entire roomful of people to block your bullets.

* [[Marionette Motion]]: Mantis' attack.
