POWERS & ABILITIES
"Snake" Plissken is a former war hero, and a talented professional at various tasks involving destruction or surviving destruction. He also has a *very* forceful personnality, and has become a legend in his own time. Basically, Snake can triumph in situations where no one else would have a chance of surviving.

APPEARANCE
He looks like the archetypal shadowrunner (hell, he *set* the look). He's got greasy shoulder-length black hairs, a black patch over his eyes, and a full three days of beard ; in short he looks dowright squalid. While not body-built, he's quite muscular, and wears a cobra tatoo over his belly. He's 1,76m (yeah, everyone thought he was taller...) and 79kg. Snake Plissken wears black leather that looks a bit like a snake's skin, and a big black leather duster. He has two shiny guns on low-slung thigh holsters, just like an Old West gunfighter.

PERSONNALITY/ROLE-PLAYING
Snake Plissken is extremely dangerous, because he does not respect either law or morals. Nothing is sacred or even important to him, and he thus cannot be corrupted or accuratly gauged. He doesn't give a damn about who lives and who dies ; in short, he's a sociopath. He follows his own obscure code of honour, has only room for his own survival, and kills without inhibition. He's a bit like the Man with no Name. He also has an unbelievable amount of nerve (the "I'm just passing by..." or the "I'm gonna leave you a chance..." scenes... bwahahahahah !)

HISTORY
Mr "call me Snake" Plissken is a vet and a war hero. After he left the Army (presumably after losing his eye), he became a nomad and a rebel, doing black ops for various accounts and generally wandering around doing illegal things. He was the man who survived the Manhattan penitenciary, in which he was sent in order to rescue the U.S. President ; this made him a living legend and a media sensation, much to his disgust. During the 15 years that followed his escape from New York, he commited 27 "moral crimes" in the puritanical US of A. He was caught in Cleveland, but escaped certain death through undisclosed means. He was later caught and sent into the Los Angeles island in order to rescue the daughter of another US President, whom had fled her father with an interesting gadget.
