I thought protoss was for the cool kids.

Our Cultural Researcher has informed me that many Terrans once worshipped a film, a fantasy in which a blade similar to ours was the pinnacle of power. Fortunately, you are Protoss, and you get two of these on Day 1.

We are strength incarnate, the object of Hercules' envy.

Stalker - Witness your Dark Templar brethren and the immense strength of spirit they possess. Death itself is a mere nuisance to the hardy members of the Shakuras tribes. You see, when they die, they cut off their heads and get them fused onto teleporting machines. Which shoot lasers. All while still wearing their masks.

Dark Templar - The living counterparts of the Stalkers are born invisible. They learn to kill from childhood. You're not stupid so I'll leave it to you to do the math. (By the way, while we're on the subject, lol @ the level of Terran "math"... ridiculous)

Colossus - Witness the capability of Protoss engineering. The laws of nature, the universe, and logic have never managed to constrain our great scientists, and now we have constructed a behemoth that is at one time both walking and flying. On the battlefield, you will witness them in action - do not be surprised when they set fire to your enemies simply by looking at them.

High Templar - One day, with much hard work behind you, you may ascend to this position. When you have done so, you will be able to erupt masses of living minds at will. You will also have really, really cool bling in the form of a glowing Khaydarin crystal that rests atop your third eye. It will magnify your potence; your thoughts will manifest with terrible power.

TL;DR Protoss have the biggest dicks in the universe. And if we didn't we would just will a bigger one into existence. It would actually work, because we are Protoss. And it would glow, too.

I dispute the protossy-ness of this thread.



I cannot imagine that a Protoss would ever stoop to merely being the object of envy of some obscure Terran myth, nor seek to compare themselves to one.



You're writing like a Terran now and fail to even attempt to exult any of these honorable characteristics of the Dark Templar. Your inaccurately describe their particle disrupters as "lasers", a simple term for simple minds. One of the Protoss' greatest medical feats is described as a simple "cutting" while the cultural significance and loyalty shown by their wearing of their masks is left completely unexplained and ignored, as if the author merely thought it was "cool".



There are many aspects of this writing to sneer at for their lack of poetry, but by far the use of the "lol" abbreviation undermines any authority you may have as one who speaks for the Protoss.



The simple nature of your language continues to distort the true and terrible nature of the things that you describe. The colossus, a war machine that towers in silhouette above dreams of other life forms, and the simple terms of "walking", "flying", "looking", and "setting fire" are far too plebeian to describe any construct created by the intellectual prowess of the Protoss as they have probed the deepest mysteries of the universe.



Bling. My brain lost a few cells from even reading that term. I can hardly imagine that a proud Protoss would stoop to one of the lowest words of the Terran dialects, nor would an upstanding Protoss be concerned with such a minor things as material wealth or symbols of high status. Such is the caste system that every Protoss brings their full capacities to bear on the trials and tribulations that have befallen their race, and it is only because of this that they still survive today.



TLDR the only good part of the whole post was the zealot part. Everything else was distinctly uninspired and written in low level language that should not be associated with ones who can proudly call themselves the "First Born".

Aside: for those of you who think I'm taking this too seriously, I had nothing better to do and was genuinely disappointed with the tack the OP took. My opinion, for what it's worth on an internet forum.
