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.
