9	Since Solid Snake is different in ''Ac!d'' (and later in ''Ac!d 2''), tropes that apply to these version of Solid Snake only should be listed here.

13	!!Characters who debuted in ''Metal Gear Ac!d''. '''Be aware that this page contains unmarked spoilers'''.

16
17	!!Protagonists:
18	[[folder: Solid Snake]]
19
20	An AlternateUniverse counterpart of Solid Snake who brought down Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land as usual, but permanently retired to Alaska afterward and is only called back to infiltrate Lobito Physics and Chemistry Lab after a 17-year absence. Conjecture on Metal Gear Wiki indicates that having not participated in the events of the ''Solid'' games (if their events existed beyond the ''Ac!d'' continuity's card packs), this iteration of Snake is more trusting of his allies and less concerned about unnecessary violence.
21	----
22	* Most every trope that applies to the original Solid Snake.
23	** Well, this version of Snake is a bit more of a {{Jerkass}} than the Solid version, but to be fair, he was ''really'' enjoying his retirement, and was pulled out somewhat more reluctantly than his Solid counterpart.
24	** Plus, he might actually not be a clone, as he doesn't have the ageing problem that the canonical Solid Snake was heavily implied to have possessed since ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty''. He's actually two years older in this game than he is in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', but here he actually looks like a handsome man in his 40s (using his face model from ''Sons of Liberty'' atop his body model from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid: [[UpdatedRerelease The Twin Snakes]]''), rather than like a man in his 70s/80s. It's mentioned that he ''is'' sterile, though, which in the main games came about due to the genetic engineering process that created him.
25	** He also has a different haircut, [[EightiesHair not that it's any less extremely eighties]].
26	** NoodleIncident: Weirdly invoked regarding his fate. The ending of ''Ac!d'' shows him completely escaping from Lobito's lab, yet ''Ac!d 2'' revealed that he died during the incident, thus resulting in the creation of Snake 2.

28
29	[[folder: Teliko Friedman]]
30	->Voiced By (in Portable Ops): Creator/YukoNagashima (JP), Creator/KariWahlgren (EN)
31
32	Leader of a FBI Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) unit sent to infiltrate Lobito Island in the opening events of ''Metal Gear Ac!d'', seeking the data for a new Metal Gear (codenamed Pythagoras) and its creator William Fleming to thwart an airplane hijacking conducted by the {{Creepy Twin\|s}} marionettes Elsie and Francis. However, her team is killed save for herself and Snake is sent in to rendezvous with her and complete the mission.
33	----
34	* ActionGirl: She is an HRT operator who's sent to Moloni.
35	* ButNotTooForeign: Should be fairly obvious from her first name that she's part Japanese, but then her backstory pushes it by revealing that "Teliko" is the result of a database error in entering "[[InconsistentSpelling Teruko]]".
36	* HypercompetentSidekick: Is arguably more useful than Snake, as she gets to use three cards per turn rather than two, at the expense of slightly less health. Snake CAN use cards to add more turns, but those take up deck space, require cost, and only last so long.
37	* InconsistentSpelling: Her actual name is '''Teruko''' Friedman. However, her name was accidentally recorded as '''Teliko''' Friedman after her FBI application was successfully processed. Teliko didn't bother to change it and decided to keep the '''Teliko''' spelling instead.
38	* SoleSurvivor: She's the only FBI HRT operator who survived an ambush in Moloni.
39	* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Teliko's father is revealed to have been killed by La Clown on orders from BEAGLE. She gets her revenge on Clown, at least.]]
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	!!Allies:
43
44	[[folder: Roger [=McCoy=] ]]
45
46	Snake's CO for the events of ''Metal Gear Ac!d'', who served alongside Roy Campbell in the Green Berets and shares the rank of Colonel. Troubled by his decisions in Vietnam, he struggles to maintain his faith in Snake as his personality conflicts more and more with that of BEAGLE bigshot Hans Davis.
47	----
48	* MissionControl: He's in charge of running Snake (and later, Teliko) from command.
49	* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Speaks to Snake via comms for the mission.
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder: Alice Hazel]]
53	A young but renowned psychic detective working alongside Roger as Snake's MissionControl in ''Ac!d''. While easily offended by Snake's skepticism, her abilities prove useful in finding escape routes and weapons at critical moments. At the same time, she attempts to walk a passenger of the hijacked airliner, Minette, through defusing the bomb in its cargo hold.
54
55	Due to the MindScrew nature of ''Ac!d'''s end-game [[TheReveal reveals]], Alice is actually a product of William Fleming and Hans Davis's experiments with ChildSoldiers and may be either No. 16 (the survivor of the children's final, DeadlyGraduation ritual), No. 104 (No. 16's final victim, who turned into a cloud of white dust and assimilated No. 16), or some combination of the two. Either way, she's been doing just enough to support the theory that Snake may actually be Hans Davis (though he really isn't) to make him personally loyal to her via the CHAIN system (the in-game justification for the trading-card-based movement and combat system).
56	----
57	* EvilBrit: Alice hails from England, and is revealed to be more sinister than she lets on.
58	* FreudianExcuse: She was part of a group of children kidnapped by BEAGLE, turned into ChildSoldiers, then forced all of them to fight each other in a DeadlyGraduation ritual in which Alice was the only survivor. The experiences messed her up and set her on a quest for revenge against BEAGLE.
59	* KarmicDeath: She receives an overwhelming amount of memories from all the people she controlled with the ACUA drug after Snake defeats the Metal Gear KODOQUE, and the psychic backlash was so intense that she died.
60	* MissionControl: For Snake and friends in the first Ac!d.
61	* PsychicPowers: Possesses {{Telepathy}}, AstralProjection, and [[{{Seers}} clairvoyance]].
62	* SoleSurvivor: Of the [[DeadlyGraduation Ritual of Conjuration that Fleming and Davis forced Alice and her fellow BEAGLE child experiments to participate in. It... traumatized her, to say the least]].

64
65	!!Leone Unit:
66
67	[[folder: Leone]]
68	Commander of a private army that storms Lobito Island at the same time that Teliko's team is sent in, also seeking Pythagoras and Fleming. Wields a [[{{BFG}} PTRS-1941 anti-tank rifle]] [[FiringOneHanded single-handed]] thanks to his immense size. After a crazy boss fight and Snake's rendezvous with the real Teliko, Leone collaborates with Snake to get ahold of Fleming, but is captured and doped up with ACUA for the rematch. Leone is also formerly known as Jeff Jones, a member of Roger's unit in [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam who was falsely accused of spying for Charlie.]]
69	----
70	* {{BFG}}: Leone's specialty is uing the PTRS-1941 for his kills.
71	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He ends up trying to drive out/kill Sn... err "trespassers" from his "flower garden."
72	* DangerousDeserter: Deserted from the US Army after he's accused of spying for the communists.
73	* DyingAsYourself: After being defeated the second time, not only does Leone get over his brainwashment from ACUA, but his hatred for his native land also disappeared with it.
74	* EnemyMine: Teams up with Snake and Teliko to capture Fleming in exchange for letting him acquire Pythagoras. [[BrainwashedAndCrazy It doesn't last long, unfortunately for the both of them.]]
75	* FatBastard: Which Snake points out as they trade insults.
76	* FiringOneHanded: Leone firest the PTRS with his active arm this way since he lost his other arm in the course of his mercenary work.
77	* HandicappedBadass: Is missing an arm.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	!!Lobito Island:
81
82	[[folder: Gary Murray]]
83	A researcher on William Flemming's team on Lobito Island, he managed to escape the transfer of the rest of Flemming's unit to the FAR portion of the compound, but wound up cornered in a security office during the invasion by Leone's unit. After being rescued by Snake, he collaborates with the good guys via CODEC to help retrieve the Pythagoras data.
84
85	He's actually William Flemming himself, looking to use Snake's delusions of the Hans Davis personality to recover the Pythagoras data, use it to activate Metal Gear KODOQUE, and get revenge on BEAGLE for using his daughter Constance (brainwashed into thinking of herself as Minette...or so BEAGLE's agents thought) as a motivational hostage.
86
87	----
88	* PapaWolf: The main motivation behind his actions, as BEAGLE kidnapped and brainwashed his daughter.
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	!!BEAGLE
92
93	[[folder:Unknown executives]]
94	The corporate conglomerate formerly in control of Lobito Physics and Chemistry Lab, infamous for its efforts to simultaneously perpetuate conflicts in third-world countries and deliver humanitarian aid to those affected by the pocket wars. Its name is supposed to be a [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Acronym]] of the first names of its six proprietors, but the only one relevant to the plot of ''Metal Gear Ac!d'' is the second E, Emilio - a suspected alias for Hans Davis, right-hand man of William Fleming. Among their most prominent products are {{Super Soldier}}s (child or otherwise), Metal Gear KODOQUE, and NEKAL Silk Powder, a weight-control supplement which Alice/No. 16 and/or 104 has been using to spread the thought-suppressing drug ACUA into the general public.
95	----
96	* ChekhovsGun: NEKAL Silk Powder
97	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Hans, perhaps also the rest of them. They were responsible for the creation for psychic ChildSoldiers No. 16 (aka Alice Hazel) and the deceased No. 104 who possessed Flemming's daughter Constance.
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder:Harold Burton]]
101	An oil company executive and one of BEAGLE's leaders. He's been killed a month prior to Lobito Island.
102
103	* AssholeVictim: Since he's killed by No. 16 and his company's involved in shady stuff, no tears are shed when it's revealed that he died.
104	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:No. 16 brainwashed his close protection officers with ACUA in order to get them to kill him and hack his body apart.]]
105	[[/folder]]
106
107	[[folder:La Clown]]
108	A mysterious mercenary who's recruited by BEAGLE as their personal assassin.
109
110	* MesACrowd: She uses hypnotism to create clones of herself in a fight.
