Actually I think the OP got the Protoss concept wrong.

If terran are the "real men" then i'd say protoss seem more like the mafia/triad/etc. I'm not talking about the crap gangsta you see in the hood. I'm talking about the kinda mafia that breaks your fingers while smoking his cool cigar and rambling about how life sucks.

Zealots/immortals = thugs.
Warp rays/DT/stalkers = assassins, you dont pay the protoss what you owe, you get a visit from one of them.
Sentries/HT = the money collectors

random? i know.

Protoss = wanting to be cool so bad that you reach depression, and sadly unoriginal as ever, you play Protoss.

...

The op pretty much proves my point.

Real gangsta-ass Protoss don't flex nuts
'Cause real gangsta-ass Protoss know they got 'em.
My strategy is to fork people.

Hey, you guys have nothing to do huh? First Terran for mad man, now Protoss for crazy kid. What next? Zerg for sexy lady huh?

Terran the men of war.
Protoss the gods of war.
Zerg the monsters of war.

You get it. Chose a race of war and stop bashing each other.

Those plantmen wouldn't know the first thing about nuts.

Protoss got lightsabers, Terran got fucking TRANSFORMERS! Clearly, Terrans win.

High Templar: After a few hundred years of punching everything in the face, a Zealot can get a little tired, and feel the need to retire and engage in some deep religious Khala introspection. While most religions involve peace, love, and spiritual salvation, the Protoss religion involves melting everything in its path. Jesus turned some water into wine? That's nice, but even the mostly lowly Protoss priest can cause lightning bursts to come out of the ground.

What about high templar?
He is too cool to use his legs for walking and uses his superior psionic powers to float in air and create storms out of nothing and can merge his power with another templar to create the most badass ball of kickassery in game... Destroy...Annihilate...Obliterate...Eradicate...
IdrA: stalkers actually do negative damage. when you shoot a marine with a stalker it gains health.

You play the race you like, not who you pretend to be!

Lol He just said that either terran is for people who are gay or for girls lol...

but seriously heres my Carrier

Carrier- So you zerg made up a few brood lords and you terran made up a few Thors and tanks to completely destroy our ground force huh? Well You apparently didn't look up to see our flying space stations did you? O no, OF COURSE you didn't! You were too busy admiring your own muscles to realize that your admiring what is now gonna be a *squish*.... dead body-.- These are flying space stations that contain 8 flying zealots in tiny space ships! "WE MAY BE TINY BUT WE PACK A BIG PUNCH!" Said a zealot in a interview we had with it right after he helped his buddies kill a Thor. "We just went right around him and he died before he new what hit him!" said another zealot of the same interceptor squadron. "We have fun killing things and performing the coolest tricks the enemy has ever seen just before we kill them!" Said yet another zealot from the same squadron. As you can see, these tiny ships don't just protect us from our enemies but they get to have fun doing it! Join the fight to re capture Aiur TODAY!

edit: ya I know its long but its just too big and awesome to make it small!
