Time to return the favor! :thumb:
Starcraft is set in the future, in space. The main races are Terran (human) Protoss, and Zerg
Terrans tend to be a very adaptable and mobile group, also being the weakest in physical strength. Terrans are also the only group who don't have any real melee weapons, using firearms, flamethrowers, etc. Terrans also posess limited cloaking (invisibility). They are also the only race to use nukes.
Protoss are the least numerous, but they tend to be stronger than the other two races (i.e., a protoss unit against it's terran or zerg equivalent will most likley win) Protoss posess advanced psionic powers, and also have shielding and cloaking capability
Zerg are the most numerous but also the weakest. Zerg have no actual 'technology', but their organic weapons make up for it. Unlike the other races, which have two arms and legs, and also tend to like like others of their race, Zerg vary widely as far as looks go. Zerg 'buildings' all have to be built on 'creep', which is something generated by other buildings. creep colonies, however, can be on any ground, and generate the starting 'creep'. The Zerg also have no cloaking ability.
The plot: The Terran Confederacy has been running low on resources, and has begun to attack the Protoss worlds in order to gain said resources. Into this battle, the Zerg have mysteriously appeared and have begun conquering worlds. At the time when the RP takes place, the sister world to Mar Sara has been destroyed by the Protoss, who are attwmpting to destroy all 'infested' worlds
not sure if that helped, but...

Ok... I have an idea for a character as far as personality, name, appearance, and species but beyond that, I have no clue what to do with her...

I'll try to join in. One question though. Is their a good side? You said the protoss destroyed a world so, is everyone in this evil in a way?

the demo would probably help... The Protoss are in the middle of a war with the Terrans, started by the Terrans, and the world destroyed, Cha Sara, was infested by the Zerg.

Alright... As Colonial Magistrate, your planet's sister planet, Chau Sara, was just blown apart by the Protoss. While bracing for you own planet to be attacked, the Protoss fleet left the area. Now the Zerg have been discovered on the planet, so you, a group of soldiers, and a group of settlers, are being 'quarantined' to the Wasteland. That is where Jim Raynor, the Confederate Marshal, is waiting for you.

Oh ok... That definitely helps a bit. Ok I'm really slow learning this stuff in case you haven't noticed so you just kind of have to go with it. Ok so there's no problem with my character being a rather spirited female is there? And as far as naming and appearance go it's just like any normal human right? And... how old should she be? lol. I'm so lost without you!  |
