Sam Porter Bridges is the protagonist of Death Stranding.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Following the apocalyptic Death Stranding event and the arrival of the Beached Things horrors, the few remaining pockets of humanity across the US have secluded themselves in isolated settlements, otherwise known as Knot Cities. In order to stay connected, said cities employ the services of so-called 'porters', who have to brave bandits and worse while relaying goods and information between each town.
Sam is one such porter, and has earned himself a nigh-legendary reputation by his stubborn refusal to die. Like all porters, he carries around a premature baby-in-a-bottle, whose liminal status between life and death allows him to see and ideally avoid the Beached Things before they can turn him into a nuclear bomb. Look, it's a Kojima game - we won't even pretend we understand the plot.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Sam Porter Bridges fought in 8chanmania LXXIII. His initial quarrel with The Driver over how many of Sam's packages actually were for him ended with a stunning victory, but before long, Sam had to learn that nobody defeats Kurt Wylde.
