"Do you think love can bloom, even on a battlefield?"

Otacon sticks out like a sore thumb in the Metal Gear Solid universe. In a world of supersoldiers, sentient AIs, vampires running on water, a guy always covered in bees (I could go on), Otacon is a nerdy scientist who talks about his 'Japanese animes' and came up with his codename from 'Otaku Convention'. The first thing you see him do is piss himself which is probably the worst first impression anyone can ever make on anyone. He's not a fighter and his relationship with his family is...problematic, to say the least.

Otacon is also the best friend a guy could ever have. Despite how outwardly cowardly he is, he possesses an inner strength that few others do. Snake dives headfirst into conflict after conflict and Otacon has always got his back. His total lack of combat capabilities never stops him from putting his neck on the line. Otacon gets subjected to tragedy after tragedy, losing virtually everyone he's ever cared about, but he still keeps going. Snake never would have made it as far as he did without Otacon being with him every step of the way. He may not be a supersoldier, but he's definitely a hero.
