History SelfDemonstrating / PsychoMantis

[[AC:It seems my exploits were documented in fiction. In 1998, a man named Hideo Kojima working for a company called Konami brought me into existence in a game called ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''. Released for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation, that was a stealth game in which I served as a boss to be defeated by that man called Solid Snake. Upon delving further into it, I became aware of many other things: My battle was massively acclaimed as a shocking mix of reality and fiction, with the screen going black with the word "HIDEO" and players having to change the controller ports to defeat me. Not only that, I could read the console's memory card and know what the player played. Some of them liked ''Suikoden'' and some liked ''Castlevania''. Those games are somehow known to me.]]

[[AC:I am the most powerful practitioner of psychokinesis and telepathy in the world. Having always known myself as a member of FOXHOUND, I aided Liquid Snake in his schemes in the year of 2005. His designs of war and world change didn't interest me. I only wanted an excuse to kill as many people as I could. One day I had a vision who changed me forever. In my mind, words and numbers appeared as random, and much later I could make sense of it. I remember them all: "Konami"; "Kojima"; "1998"; "Solid".]]

Oh God. I can't believe someone controlled my mind to write this. I can't actually believe it was him! He's a fictional character! He couldn't have done that to real person like me!

[[AC:Kojima has not forgotten me, as he uses my past in ''Metal Gear Solid V'', where that young child terrorizes Big Boss with hallucinations. I cannot read the future, but I sense I will be part of it. Kojima's mind is one of the few I'm unable to read.]]

[[AC:Such research made me unable to ever see the world in the same way again. All the pain of my life has been a stage! In which I was but a puppet! My father's hatred of me; my village that I burned; my reading of a killer's mind... all but a play, in which I was fated to be a part of. There was nothing else to calm my raging mind, until I made the decision supress it. By using my powers to confuse and shock people beyond this fiction and in a distant reality, I was able to live long enough until the fateful battle with Snake.]]

[[AC:Since then, I have found myself stuck in a cycle of death at Snake's hands and rebirth into the game when someone played it again. I have known more and more about this situation and now I now what happens around me. I have been keeping track of Kojima's work and I am pleased to know that the lasting impression of my powers were not confined to that game. ''Metal Gear Solid 4'' had the woman called Screaming Mantis fighting Snake in way that remembers our old duel using my powers with the help of nanomachines. I lived inside her as leader of the Beauty and the Beast Corps. That new stage of my existence has been cut short however by The Sorrow's interference. But I would always come back.]]
