Hey, thanks! Here's some of me as the Overmind. I know it's too deep, but it was MY Overmind (not Blizzard's), soGnaReffotsirk wrote:This is cool, Progono. Sure it's a rough but we could definitely use something like these. Everything big starts small.
Things look promising.
That. Stays away from canon characters, is relatively simple, and could even be shown in a cinematic map in the very beginning if we wanted to. We should have the very beginning start off simple and easy to understand for any audience. If we go for the gusto and start making a complicated lore reference in the very beginning, it might throw people off the story almost immediately.thebrowncloud wrote: Well, the only problem with these ideas is that the UED fleet that led the attack on Char Aleph (the one that Kerrigan fought and destroyed) was COMPLETELY destroyed. No one from that particular fleet made it out alive. The only members of the UED that are left alive are the ones that didn't take part in the battle on Char Aleph. Those people were most likely in various UED bases, such as the one on Abaddon (according to the story that StarCraft Ghost was going to have, this base does still exist). I think that it shoulld have been a ship involved in a battle of some sort on a space platform of another planet that we could say is nearby, such as New Venice over Reynif II (the only UED-controlled platform I know of). The planet was, say, under attack from Dominion forces stationed somewhere besides Korhal and the ship escaped after being heavily damaged. It didn't go back to Reynif II because it was under attack, so it flees in the general direction of Abaddon, loses power, and is sucked down to the surface by the planet's gravity.
I'm not sure about the resident being a former military officer. If he were, he wouldn't be in cold sleep/stasis when the ship is heavily damaged and they are fleeing attack. I think he would be a prisoner that was maybe being tested on on New Venice and they evacuated him. Or, like you said, a former scientist that was exposed and got affected by experiments he lead, etc.
This is indeed so much cooler. I like it. If no one else contends with the stuff here, we'll set this in stone.thebrowncloud wrote: We'll say the ship was docked on New Venice when it came under attack. The scientists on New Venice had been experimenting with the Resident there, but decided to evacuate him (and maybe the scientists as well) onto the ship and they flee while the rest of the docked ships and forces fend off the Dominion (and fail). I still think the Resident should be someone they found while they were either on the way to the KS or someone they found early in their invasion. I'll look into some places that he could be from, but I think the extent of his military training should be a planetary millitia at most. Nothing fancy.
Yeah, his abilities could be anything. I just don't think we should give him cloaking or lockdown missiles because those are both ghost abilities which he is not and is not trained to use. I think we should either go with a custom unit or a modified marine unit with special abilities besides the stim packs (maybe even getting rid of stim packs, considering they have a reputation of being a habit-forming recreational drug). I'm thinking that general psionic abilities involving telekinises and being able to explode someone's head or brain with their mind is kind of generic in terms of psychics, so I think we should think a little outside the box and try something a little more involved in nature. Perhaps he is even able to manipulate different aspects of nature, such as the earth. I'm kind of getting into the realms that he is borderline xel'naga here, but spit-balling at the same time. We have time to think about it, but we will need a lot of custom effects and such.GnaReffotsirk wrote:This is indeed so much cooler. I like it.

So what we have is:
1. The resident is found by the UED somewhere, sometime before the invasion.
2. He is a specimen in a lab on New Venice under a certain project. Whether he is the main subject of the research or not is yet to be determined.
3. The Ship is either a science ship, evac ship, cargo, or civilian. Why it crashed is still to be determined.
Now, about his skills to use a gun, I think that would be something irrelevant. As we know, his unique ability is this psychic thing, right? So, there's actually more stuff we could add to his Psychic abilities later on. Like, he could actually "temporarily have" a skill through his Psychic abilities. (I'm seeing bonus damage, speed, or anything bonus to his unit game-wise).
The cerebrate is the most audible. I hear a lot of clipping as well, and especially the effects on the Overmind are too much.Dem0nS1ayer wrote: I really like the Cerebrate voice. The other ones are way too distorted to the point that you can't even understand them anymore.
Seriously, this is epic.Hehe, thanks. See? Isn't it so much better when everything fits like a puzzle piece? That's how I see the SC universe. Just one big puzzle with an infinite amount of pieces just waiting to be found and placed in the proper spots. The official media are just big puzzle pieces that add more spaces to fill. When everything connects, the story is so much stronger and more entertaining!GnaReffotsirk wrote: thebrowncloud has you!
Okay, I'm taking this page with me back to the pad to go over it again, and again. I have all the pages too, so, this is going to take some time.
I'll try my best to patch everything into this solid mass here. Finally!
You give me the shivers. Good shivers that is.
Audacity and RecordPad Sound Recorder; the clipping is most likely my mic, but I honestly didn't see (or hear, rather) anything wrong the the voice.BadManners! wrote:The cerebrate is the most audible.

What software did you use, Pronogo?
