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-4817-20180724234004/@comment-4708902-20180724235854

I had no idea who Tychus was when I began Wings of Liberty. It was only later I learned he was introduced in the books. Kate Lockwell was also introduced in the comics.

I know many characters are gone, but new ones will fill in their spots, just as when our parents and teachers retire and die and pass the torch to us. One day we will have to do the same with our children and students.

But if you want deceased characters to still play a role, I think I have just the theory for you. In Frontline, a new psionic power has appeared among the Terrans. Astral Projection, which allows the user to separate their mind, conscious, memory, identity and maybe even their soul(If souls exist in Starcraft) from their body(Which enters a coma like state) and appear in an transparent non-corporeal form. This ability has been seen in the games, Ouros used this to pretend to be Tassadar. But Frontline shows that a Terran Boy named Colin Phash has this power.

Now obviously a kid is unfit to be a unit, but nothing a time gap won't solve. By the time of Starcraft 3, he's now a full grown and fully trained Umojan Shadowguard(The Umojan equivalent of Dominion Ghosts). His astral projection power could make him ideal for stealth based missions in the campaign. In terms of gameplay, the projection makes him immune to attacks, and maybe he could even go invisible. Of course there would be a limit to how long and how often he can use these abilities. And when using the ability, you'd better make sure the body is in a safe place. In terms of story, if this power is taken to higher levels(Since the power is being tested and expairimented on), what if he accidentally ends up in the Void and encounters Sarah and possibly Jim who warm him that the Voice is on it's way? Or accidentally goes to some sort of higher dimension/plane of existence and is able to see and communicate with the souls of deceased characters who tell him that the voice hunts down all life in existence, regardless if they have a body or not. (Bonus points if Blizzard can get Haley Joel Osmont for the role considering he would once again play someone who could see dead people, or have a gag quote be the famous line from "The Sixth Sense.")

This may seem out of nowhere, but after all the crazy stuff that's happened in the three campaigns of 2, I honestly could see anything happen.
