History Fanfic / ATruePatriot

* PosthumousCharacter: Wolff from ''Metal Gear Zero'' is relegated to this in the timeline, due to Big Boss's father actually succeeding in killing him.

* ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans: Joy and the Cobras [[spoiler: assassinate Adrian]] during Mardi Gras. Justified, as [[spoiler: Adrian]] was visiting the city for the holiday, and Joy planned to use it as a cover.

* GreaterScopeVillain: The Philosophers serve as the overarching antagonists and the only consistent villains in the story, in contrast to most of the other villains in the story who only serve as [[ArcVillain Arc Villains]].

* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted. Periods are often addressed in the story.

* CruelElephant: PlayedWith and [[JustifiedTrope justified]]. Joy, David, and William, while in Kenya, come across a female elephant who antagonizes them, because [[EgomaniacHunter William]] killed her mate a few years ago on a hunting trip and she [[ElephantsNeverForget recognized his face]]. However, the elephant also messes with Joy and David, [[GuiltByAssociationGag despite them being innocent]].

* UnfortunateName:
** ''Cock''well. While William’s unfortunate surname wasn’t addressed in ''Metal Gear Zero'', it is addressed by Joy in this . Also serves as a MeaningfulName, considering most of the Cockwell family are [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkasses]] if not outright villainous (with the exception of [[LovableAlphaBitch Charlotte eventually]]).
** Also, Admiral ''Softbottom'', which Fury eventually [[HehHehYouSaidX makes fun of]].
