It was either that or White Fox... But then Raiden would have to be called Black Fox and that guy has too many names as it is. ;)

And I'm glad that you like the idea; I've been trying to think of ideas of what Kojima would use by using what I know from Rising and then expand it by using the other games as refference. Here's what I have so far. This might be a read...

With Metal Gear Solid, the overall story involved the Snakes fighting against the Patriots. For Metal Gear Rising the plot is more strait forward... sort of. It starts when Grey Fox was experimented on by the Patriots and became a cyborg. By using Strangelove's AI research, (which were aquired from XOF's MSF raid in Ground Zeroes...I'm assuming. ;) ) the Patriots created an AI based on Grey Fox's profile. The Patriots named this AI Hayate. Hayate's purpose was to serve as a security measure; a back up AI should the main Patriot AIs ever be destroyed. As a procausion the main AIs had Hayate completely disconected from the others by put putting him in to an android, but this meant that if activated he would have no access to the functions and info that the Patriots have.

Their solution: "educate" an individual for the soul purpose to retain the knowlege to rebuild the Patriots... That's where Sunny comes in.

After the Patriots were destroyed, Hayate became active. Upon activation though, he thought to himself: if the Patriots were the ultimate guides and controllers of humanity, why did they lose control? He conluded that his predeccesors were too "leniant" and humanity not worthy of free will. And so by gathering as much of the Patriots' resources as he could (cyborg tech and UG tech) Hayate started his plan to control humanity by having every human be encased in their own VR purgatory.

So pretty much from there Hayate makes World Marshall as it is in MGR, with him being a major stock holder or something, and providing supplies for World Marshall, and allying himself with people who could fund the research (Armstrong and others who were disatisfied by the post Patriot era) There's more but that's MGR2... or MGR3 in my installment order.
