Abilities/Powers: Three main things set Snake apart from the average guy:
1 – Snake is a blind dude in a work of fiction, so of course he is blessed with an incredible sense of hearing. Like, he is shown to hear people run past him on the other side of a thick wall. The reason he doesn't need a cane or someone to hold his hand to find his way around in unfamiliar places is because of his ability to judge his surroundings based on sound, vibrations, etc. His sense of taste and smell are probably heightened too, but not to the same extent.
2 – In a Q&A session with fans, Aksys Games confirmed that Snake has an incredible amount of tenacity. He was shot multiple times in one of the game's Bad Ends, but was able to get back up to try and protect his sister. According to the creator, his love for Clover and his natural resilience “made him a super-man”.
3 - Snake is an Esper and can tap into Morphogenetic Fields – long story short, they're unseen connections through space and time which exist between living things - in order to receive signals from other Espers. It is only ever said that he can receive signals from Clover as they're siblings. Whether ordinary Receivers can pick up signals from more than one Transmitter is never shown – only June is shown to send signals to several people and she's an odd case - but an Esper's power grows when they are near other Espers so it isn't unlikely. Distance doesn't seem to be much of a factor where Espers are concerned; signals have been said to reach Earth from the Moon in canon.
Oh, and he can read Braille and plays the harp. Items/Weapons: Ugly clothes. Sample Entry:Sample entry from Destiny Strings and a sample thread (also) from Destiny Strings Sample Entry Two: Despite how worried his sister can be when the situation arises, Snake is one hundred percent capable of moving around their new apartment by himself. Doors might well be in different places, each piece of furniture is a strange shape compared to back home, but sound is a constant. Unfamiliar darkness is a pretty redundant description anyway. It's the same pitch black maze he has to navigate with his ears, not his eyes, kinda like a super-hero.
Only with gaudy clothes, picked out by his sister, instead of body hugging spandex.
It's no miracle, then, that he discovers the wayward book on the living room table. Something felt off when he set his tea down, the clink of china against wood didn't quite fit. His fingers ghost over the spine as he holds the book in his fake hand, raised bumps along the familiar card confirm his suspicion. Grimm's Fairy Tales. A simple read, this edition written purely in Braille.
"How did you get here?" The words are soft, more gentle than he might be with another person, then he falls silent. Could there be someone else in the house? It's an unpleasant thought, third time's the charm and all that, but it lasts no longer than a split second. He hasn't heard the floorboards creak, a door scrape over the thin carpet, or the hitched breath of an intruder trying to blend in. Clover must've taken the book from the shelf before work. Maybe she's trying to brush up on her Braille. Snake smiles at the thought, sliding the volume back into place in a single fluid motion.
But before he can sit back down to enjoy his tea, there's a definite knock at the front door. He can tell it's important, the gap between knocks shrinking, so he gets back up off the sofa and makes his way through the familiar darkness.
"Good afternoon," he offers up his brightest smile as he opens the door, eyes shut tight. He reaches out for a handshake, "How can I help you?"
