@Raptra Hey, I've been meaning to ask you something, I've been getting busier lately because of school and feel like swapping out Meta Knight for another character, is that ok with you or will it muck the plot too much?
Meta has his badge, icon, whatever it is. Meta could go back at anytime as I understand it. Based on that it is a simple matter of pulling a switcheroo.
@Metatrooper Yeah no probs, you can have your character reject the invitation, just write him out in your next post it'll be fine. It'll be cool to have another villain too.
"Look at flesh, see only potential. Strands, sequences, twisting, separating, joining. See how it could be better. Eat flesh, splinter bone. Inside me, can touch it. Weave it. Spin it. Make it great."
Skill set/Abilities: Abathur is a unique zerg creature, due to the fact that he is created from numerous zerg creatures. His primary purpose is to serve the swarm as its evolution master, acting as a sort of craftsman and library of DNA. This allows him to modify the characteristics of zerg creatures and improve on them. He does this by ingesting parts of creatures and then gaining access to their genetic code.
He has minimal combat capabilities, instead being a brilliant strategic mind and an incredibly intelligent biologist. He uses zerg creatures to fight for him instead, directing and commanding them through psionic signals.
Abathur also possesses the ability to burrow into the ground and travel to other locations quickly, an adaptation he acquired from his feral wandering days on Char.
Background: Abathur was created by the Overmind using the DNA of various different zerg species and was an instrument of the Overmind's plan to attain Zerg perfection. Abathur was also responsible for creating the Queen of Blades herself, Kerrigan. After the death of the Overmind, he wandered the tunmels of Char, feral and purposeless, eating anything that attacked him.
As Abathur wandered Char without a master, he modified any zerg he came across, and grew fixated on diversifying the Swarm. The Queen of Blades retrieved him and took him under her command. With the de-infestation of the Queen at Char during the Second Great War, the Swarm fragmented, as the broodmothers vied for control. He was too strong for Broodmother Zagara to take control of him. At the time of fragmentation, he was aboard a leviathan.
Kerrigan had then found him again on said leviathan and he served her once again as her swarm's evolution master, evolving the Zerg to be faster, stronger and deadlier. He followed her up until the End War, where he then served Zagara after Kerrigan was gone.
Other Information: Abathur's true goal is for the Zerg to achieve biological perfection, although he knows it isn't possible, he still tries, claiming that it makes sense on a tactical level for him to chase it.
He also believes it is "purpose" which makes the zerg what they are. He states that without an overriding will, they are no more than beasts, much like he was after the death of the Overmind. To this end, he is grateful that the Swarm has a purpose.
Will be added during RP as Abathur collects more and more biomass, strength of creatures depend on the biomass collected.
@Raptra I was just thinking Cloud may demand Cinnix save Aerith for his cooperation once he see Zack or he might become VERY ANGRY & just attack for parading a cheap copy of his friend.
@Raptra the plan is to actually have him be teleported to Cinix along with a few drones and maybe zerglings to start a hatchery. Then he can make his way forward by studying and collecting more biomass.
@Raptra@Burning Kitty Heh, technically Cloud could just give his past self instructions on how to get there in time to save Aerith.. he could write it down for Zack to give to his past self :') ALTHOUGH.. he could also do the same for Zack! This could get messy!
Alright peeps, I'm gonna have to time this right. @eemmtt Could we have some Skaven clashing with the heroes when they arrive at the CBD? I'll give the villain side some time to respond before that and just move the HQ group along soon.
@FalkiThomas Wish I could have Rex continue his nanite conversation with Zack though, probably at a later time XD. You're right, it's starting to get hilarious.
