User blog:Godzillavkk/New Characters for Star Craft 3

With most of the original cast either written out, dead, or on a higher plane of existence, it's essential that SC3 have new characters, no matter how close or how far away it is. (a third game has been announced, but Blizzard's tied up with other projects right now) Now we all know that newcomer characters, especially successor characters are not often warmly welcomed. That's why in my opinion, every new main character should be hated by the very people they protect. Here two ideas of my own. One is a book character whom I think has potential, the other came 100% from me.

Colin Phash

Introduced in the comics, Phash is a Terran with psyionic abilities no other Terran has. Quiet Voice, which allows him to partially remove himself from phsyical reality, as well as hear sounds no one else can, so that the Zerg cannot detect him. And Astral Projection, which allows him to partially separate his mind (or soul depending on how you look at it) from his body and exist in a corporal form. In the comics, he is terribly frightened of these powers, but by the end, he is an Umojan Shadowguard, the Umojan equivalent of Dominion Ghosts. Additionly, his powers are being studied by the Dominion, and I'd assume that their also being studied by the Umojans.

This could set up an adult Phash as a Shadowguard who is both a soldier, and a test subject. It's also established that in the books, his powers are unstable and sometimes work by themselves. Weather or not he would have mastered them by this point depends on the writers. But the story telling possibilities with a character like this, are many. He could be a emotionally tormented soul, perhaps he starts hearing the voice of the Dark One, perhaps even Serah if she appears as a Xel'Naga af ew times, and who knows what else.

Nevik

Nevik is a young Broodmother who by sheer accident, has found Xel'Naga artifacts that tell of the advanced species battle against the Voice in the Darkness. The hieroglyphics also say that should the Voice ever return, all life would be great danger. But unlike Amon who intended to remake all in his image, the Voice would not, as he sees creation as a perversion of the "natural order". In fact, it's also implied that Amon may have been a pawn of the Voice. But will the Swarm believe her lives? Will Zagara?

Nevik herself has some similarities to Fiver from "Watership Down". She has a sort of sixth sense, and tends to become paranoid whenever she predicts that terrible things will happen. This shows her to be possibly the first Broodmother with the ability to feel fear. Other Broodmothers think she suffers from a flawed mutation, Stukhov however, ponders if the Zerg are on the verge of evolving the ability to feel emotions.
