It's now the year 3313 C.E., and what's left of the world is all under the control of one single totalitarian regime and its government—the United Earth. Your character is brought into Exsilium, a prison island where government dissenters and revolutionaries against the United Earth were dumped and left to their own devices after an unsuccessful revolution three-hundred years prior. They're brought onto this island in secret by the Initiative, who are an underground organization working undercover in the prison colony and trying to amass an army of Transports (you, specifically) to utilize in an ultimate war against the United Earth. Your character's enlisted with the Initiative as a soldier or a diplomat, and given an enchanted weapon that evolves with them in game. They are trained on a daily basis to be prepared for battles and intellectual confrontations.
The thing is, the United Earth is too strong for another simple uprising. Their military is literally super-human, and their technology is worlds more advanced than Exsilium's. However, they're running out of the resources needed for their own survival in their dystopian metropolis—but in an effort to make up for it, they're taking their super-human military and invading your characters' worlds to drain them of precious metals and fuels they need to sustain themselves. The Initiative has recently caught wind of this, and they're trying desperately to enlist the help of their Transports in their fight against the United Earth—whose greed knows no bounds, not even outside their own universe.
The Initiative will be sending characters on missions throughout the span of time, in a carefully projected timeline of major and minor world events. The Initiative plans, with your character's help, to weaken the United Earth's power from the past by shattering the foundation on which they've built themselves up and ultimately whittle them down in preparation for a final, successful revolution.
What this means, Metal Gear people, is that there is a dystopian game where most of the world is a border-less, war-fueled nation (that is secretly ruled by a powerful and manipulative military AI) which governs its people with drugs and propaganda. A resistance movement (also consisting of a military AI) is now drawing in soldiers from across time and space to fight a proxy war through history and providing soldiers with VR training . How do we not have a flourishing Metal Gear cast with this premise? So far there is just me as Raiden (circa Rising, but I would love any and all franchise characters).
