User blog comment:Godzillavkk/If the Voice in the Darkness is the main villain of Starcraft 3, what should be the difference between him and Amon?/@comment-31277203-20180725231459/@comment-4708902-20180901020422

I don't think answers were even needed. I always assumed (and assumed other StarCraft fans assumed this as well) it was the result of him channeling both High and Dark Psionic energy together, which allowed his conscience to merge with it. Besides, no one in the Star Wars fandom complains about ghosts being present when I find both the Force and Psionic energy to be very similar to each other. Both allow certain individuals to do things we normal humans cannot do, like use telekinesis, read minds, and perform offensive and defensive techniques. And both evolve over time, allowing new powers and abilities to form.

And if Psionic abilities allow people to project pure energy forms of themselves with their identity's and conscience, I'd say there's a pretty good chance it allows their identity and conscience to survive death as beings of pure energy. If I was a writer for 3, I'd reveal that only people who have the Astral Projection ability see and communicate with "Psionic Ghosts" as both would exist on a dimension invisible beings of flesh and blood. And this could only be done if the living person was in astral form themselves.

Since Phash is the only Terran with this ability, and since Terrans are experimenting with this ability, I smell a perfect opportunity to have a scene where a new character communicates with a dead one with no Xel'Naga tricks involved. So imagine in a few of 3's cutscenes, he has dreams/visions where he enters astral form (be it by his will or by it working by itself) and encounters deceased characters from past games who give advice, wisdom and warnings. This will also allow older characters to continue to impact the plot after death, and give a new character an arch of his own.

What potential new characters would you like to see regardless if they were introduced in books or come from your own imagination?
