Have too many anyway. But that's a good thing really heh. Besides, I'd wonder what your story might be about. Speaking of which, do you have a summary? OH! Sorry..must be keeping you from eating heh.

Eh, I'm the one who chose to stay, plus, might have dinner plans than what I first thought of........
Well, I actually wrote the prequel first as an MGS 3 spinoff. The main character is Naked Snake, Randall's father, who secretly works for the U.S. Government without his sons realizing, he was one of the first to recontact the human world, and due to certain circumstances, they recruited him (and a few others, though I won't say who at the moment) into the newly formed FOXHOUND unit. His mission in the story is to infiltrate the (now former) Soviet Union and repatriate a scientist who had defected to our side but we had to hand him over to the Soviets in exchange for them withdrawing their missiles from Cuba (in the Crisis) and is forced to work on....something.
The later stories will be about Randall, as he is later recruited (you'll see how) to FOXHOUND as Solid Snake as his codename

? Well... I really don't have a dinner unless I find something around the house since mom's at work. But other than that...I still have some free time, though I'm a bit tired.
Seems MGS has more weight on this story though...

Ah well, like I said, it's pretty much the MGS 3 storyline with a few spinoffs, and changes.

Yeah, I just gave you the very, very basic outline, it's a lot deeper than what it seems on the surface.

As most of you know by now, I'm a big fan of the Cartoon Network Flash-animated series, "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends", and I'm especially fond of the character, "Wilt"-a VERY tall, red being who is one of the main characters. Anyone who watches the show just every now and then probably would fail to notice the similarities between Wilt and Randall, since Wilt is, for the most part, presented as a very calm, optimistic, extremely helpful and overall friendly guy who can get along with anyone. Wilt is overly apologetic at times, even when he's done nothing wrong, and will often readily sacrifice his own comfort or even safety for that of someone else. Nothing could be further from being like Randall, right? However, I've always suspected that Wilt had a different side, a darker side if you will, and all it would take would be the right set of circumstances to bring it out, just as I strongly suspect that a different set of circumstances in Randall's case, in his movie, would have led to very different behavior on HIS part. I've seen smattering of Wilt's "other side" in the show, when he displayed an unpredictable and nasty temper, going off on other characters(as Randall does with Fungus)for seemingly minor infractions, and given that Wilt was created to play basketball, I've always suspected he had a very competitive side to his nature as well. In one episode, Wilt had to MC a talent show/beauty pageant, in front of a large audience, and had apparently botched the job the year before. He had to memorize several lines of speech to recite, and the others would not let him forget the previous year, nor would they allow him to participate in any fun activities. He was only allowed to practice and rehearse his lines. After just a couple of days of being shut out and put down by the others, Wilt started getting snappy and complaining about how he was being treated. I'd have hated to see how he behaved after a couple of YEARS of having that kind of pressure put on him, as Randall had!
In the most recent episode, the four main characters, including Wilt, who rooms with the other three, found themselves competing for a room which had become available, each wanting the room for themselves, alone. That room had basketball wallpaper, tall ceilings(Wilt is eight feet tall), a tall door, and a really long bed(Wilt has been sleeping on the floor, having given up his own bed for Bloo, a blue, two-eyed version of Mike Wazowski), and posters and memorabilia of famous basketball players on the walls. Wilt is every bit as determined to get that room as Randall was to break the All-time Scare Record, and now HIS friends(as was the case with Randall)are seen as his rivals, to be defeated. In one scene, so reminiscent of Randall's showing off in the locker room, Wilt tries to impress the others with his flexibility and athletitisism, to the point that I honestly would not have been surprised to have heard him break out in that "Winds of Change" speech! Unlike Randall, though, Wilt proves that he is not above a bit of cheating, relying on a hidden secret passageway only he knew about to get to the room first, after another character suggested that they race to the room and the first one there, gets to keep it.
Other similarities I've noticed are Wilt's facial expressions, which are remarkably similar to Randall's, especially that huge grin of his! Like Randall, Wilt has obviously had some very bad experiences, physically, in the past, as he, too, has accumulated some noticeable scars, especially on his face. However, Wilt's experiences have been far worse, as he has had an arm amputated and is missing his left eye, which is replaced by a fake eye. Like Randall, he can run VERY fast and is extremely flexible, and he even has that same laugh, both that little chuckle(like in the "M.I Bloopers" when Randall finds himself in front of that old painting)and that more sinister one, like when Sulley and Randall are fighting and Sulley tries to grab Randall, who disappears. I guess I'm not the only one who's noticed the similarities between the two of them, either; in the episode called "The Big LeBlooski"(a parody of one of Steve B.'s movies), they spoof the entrance scene in "M.I." in which the Scarers arrive on the floor, and Wilt is the one in Randall's spot, with that same determined look on his face!
Having seen how Wilt, everyone's Mr. All-Around Nice Guy, can get down and dirty when he has to, and when the pressure is directly on HIM to do something, and everyone is putting him down, just makes me more convinced that Randall could be just as nice(though probably not as apologetic)if HIS situation had been different in the movie.
