I really should join in on this RPG. In celebration of the coming of Starcraft 2, I give you …
(No nonsense) Application for the "Get Violent" Video Game RPG
Name of character and game that he/she/it appears in: Sarah Kerrigan, The Queen of Blades (Starcraft)
Powers/skills/inventory of the character: Kerrigan has always been an adept psychic among the Terran. However, her powers have been increased ten fold due to the Zerg infestation. After the infestation, she grew long claws and spikey wings, which she now uses as her weapons as opposed to her old Canister Rifle.
She also possesses the powers to Cloak (like any Terran Ghost), Ensare her victims in a slow-moving green slime (like the Zerg Queens), create a Psionic Storm (like the Protoss High Templar), and Consuming her Zerg allies for energy (like the Zerg Defilers). And of course, being the high Queen of the Zerg, she can control almost all of the Zerg Swarms (minus the broods that any renegade Cerebrates might still control). Of course, once she will find herself on Earth, she will have little to no control of any of her Zerg in the Koprulu Sector.
Will your character be bringing any other characters, items from their game with them?: She will be bringing a few Zerg Larva and an Overlord.
Why have you chosen this character?: She’s the Queen ***** of the Universe, what other reason you need!? Oh yeah, and this RPG could probably use another villian
Can you provide any need-to-know information about your character for players with no knowledge of that character?
Serving the Confederacy
At an early age, the Terran Confederacy of the Koprulu Sector noticed her psychic affinity and immediately began her training as a Ghost, a covert operations specialist that uses their psychic powers. When she was very little, her powers became so instable that they killed her mother and damaged her father. Since then, she was taken into training.
Kerrigan was very rebellious during these years, refusing to even save her own father who was dieing of a tumor. She’d rather have him and herself die then serve the Confederacy. They would see no choice but to inject her with a neuro-adjuster, causing her uncontrolled and undisputed loyalty to them.
Since then, she went on as an accomplished assassin, killing many (including Angus Mengsk, who started the Korhalian revolt). She would later be taken to Vyctor 5’s Fujita Complex, where her telepathic powers were able to control a number of unidentified xenomorphs (Zerg). The Sons of Korhal, started by Angus’s son Arcturus, would rescue her and remove her neuro-adjuster. Since then, she became the right-hand woman under Arcturus.
Under the Sons of Korhal
At 26 yrs old, she was transported to Antiga Prime during the Zerg’s initial invasion of the Sector. On Antiga Prime, she would meet James Raynor, also under the Sons of Korhal at the time. Raynor had a major crush on her, as well as she did for him. This love, however, would come to die, after her metamorphisis that was to come.
Later, she would use a Psionic Emitter, a powerful device that would lure masses of Zerg to specific location, to use against the Confederacy. In New Gettysburg, Tarsonis, she would need to protect the Zerg Hive from the Protoss. She would be left there, abandoned by her leader Arcturus Mengsk, most likely to die to the Swarms. It was then that the Zerg Overmind noticed her power, and had her encased in a cocoon.
Infested Kerrigan
She would later awake as Infested Kerrigan, under the allegiance of the Zerg. Sarah was the favorite of the Overmind, overshadowing every one of the Cerebrates. Jim Raynor, now leading his own forces, would try to rescue her, but fail as she would serve only the Zerg. Kerrigan would later develop her psionic abilities by raiding the Terran Science Vessel Amerigo, increasing her power.
The Infested Terran would later fight the Protoss on the Zerg planet Char, and confront the High Templar Tassadar. It would be discovered as a distraction, and the Dark Templar Zeratul would permanently kill Cerebrate Zasz. She would take her revenge upon the Dark Templar, as the main Zerg attack forces would begin its invasion of the Protoss homeworld of Aiur.
The siege did hurt the Protoss dramatically, but it also caused the death of the Overmind. With the Swarms scattered and confused, Cerebrate Daggoth and others would begin their merging into a new Overmind. Kerrigan would launch her own campaign, one to kill the remaining Cerebrates and rule the Zerg herself.
On the secret Dark Templar homeworld of Shakuras, The High Templar would through a Warp Gate set up on Aiur and come to this planet as refugees to rebuild their civilization. However, two Cerebrates under the new Overmind had already come through this portal, and they would nestle themselves around an old Xel’Naga Temple. Kerrigan would come and offer to help them find the crystals Uraj and Khalis, which would activate the temple and destroy the Zerg around it. She said she was no longer under the control of the Overmind, but no one trusted her, except for the Dark Templar’s Matriarch, Raszagal, as she was being controlled by Sarah herself.
After retrieving the crystals, a revolt of the High Templar under Aldaris against the Dark Templar emerged. He would try to reveal his knowledge of Kerrigan’s influence over their Matriarch, but would be killed by the Infested Terran before he could. The temple would later was activated and obliterated the Zerg still on the planet.
Destroying the new Overmind
A large Expeditionary Force led by the United Earth Directorate would come into the picture, taking control of a powerful Psi Disruptor that would be used against the Zerg. Fearing the power of the UED, Kerrigan would influence Jim and the Protoss Fenix to ally with her. The UED would go on to conquer the now Terran Dominion homeworld of Korhal, with Emperor Mengsk fleeing to Aiur. She would rescue Jim and Fenix from the planet, with the help of Samir Duran (an Infested Terran under her command at the time).
This Samir Duran would later betray Kerrigan, as he had the UED before, and would activate the Psi Disruptor. This terribley hurt Kerrigan’s forces, and the UED would besiege Char, home of the new Overmind, and control it. Kerrigan would come to fight against the UED and their Zerg puppets with the help of Arcturus, Jim, and Fenix.
She would later kidnap Raszagal to Char, Zeratul following her. Kerrigan would give her back if he and his Dark Templar would help her in defeating the new Overmind; Zeratul agreed. They would defeat the Overmind, along with many of its Zerg and many UED soldiers. Raszagal, influenced too terribley, would not go with Zeratul, and so he would kill her.
Reckoning of the Queen of Blades
Everyone had enough with Kerrigan’s treachery. The UED, the Terran Dominion, and Protoss Artanis’s forces, would combine their attack against her. She would defend herself well, and would destroy all of the UED as it tried to retreat from the Sector. At last, she would crown herself the “Queen ***** of the Universe”, the Queen of Blades.
Please provide your sample "blackout" post if your character comes from a different time to the present setting:
The Queen of Blades lauded over her Swarms atop an installation that overlooked Char, as she telepathically saw them rampaging across the Koprulu Sector. The Protoss were scarred, the Terran Dominion was in a state of disarray, and the UED’s Expeditionary Force had been slaughtered. There was no one that could stop her now, except for maybe one … the traitor Samir Duran!
She knew he had never been truly infested, it was all simply an affront for him. What he had planned she didn’t know, but she’d be sure to search for him.
“Before I search for the traitor Duran, I will regroup my Swarms. They will hibernate, my forces will multiply, and I will have all my planets defended. No one will dare challenge me, no one!”
Just then, she heard the cries from a number of Overlords on the installation she stood upon telepathically.
“Danger … Anomally Detected … Unidentified Worm Hole …” Why did they fear a Worm Hole, the Zerg had used these to travel across the galaxy. Puzzled, she called one of her Overlords to take her to it.
As it approached the Worm Hole, she noticed it was not of the Zerg’s creation!
“What in God’s name … It couldn’t be … No!” This Worm Hole was one born naturally, it could lead anywhere. The worm hole would suck her and the whole installation apart, she had to get out of there.
“Overlord, prepare to exit Char space now!” It tried, but the space anomaly began sucking it in, along with her still in the Overlord.
“No! I won't lose it all, my empire! No, not after all this … Noooooo!” And so she was sucked into the Worm Hole with the Overlord that she sat inside helplessly. It would take her far from the Koprulu Sector, and far from the time she once knew. The Queen of Blades will come to find herself in the modern day New York City upon the planet Earth.
