View Full Version : Fun with Role-play (For the Swarm)

The Overmind is dead.


First it was by Tassadar's hand. The elder Cerebrate, Daggoth, attempted to bring order to the Swarm by merging Cerebrates into a surrogate Overmind, but that creature was leashed by the UED, bringing us all to heel. Then that bitch-queen, Kerrigan, betrayed the Swarm -- unthinkable! -- on Char, manipulating the Dark Templar into murdering the Overmind reincarnate.

The Swarm is weak, our unity fractured. Some of us continue to blindly follow the writ of old genetic code, while others see it as a scripture written in our own blood and want to write something new. Others claim to hear whispers from the stars, but the blow to our hivemind must have them sent them into madness. Lacking a psionic anchor, we fall to Kerrigan, one at a time. Daggoth is gone (hiding, or rotting?). The human cattle have become our hunters, hounding our every step in the darkness between the stars. And our long-lost elder brothers, the First Born? Hah, there is no doubt as to what they intend...



Where are you, Cerebrate? What plans do you enact, what secrets or contingencies do you unleash? Young or old, your brood large or small, how did you survive?

I ran away from Kerrigan. When she engineered the death of the second Overmind, I abandoned her and went drifting into the stars with my brood so that she couldn't catch me. I hope to find a race that I can bring into the swarm to one day defeat Kerrigan.

If I cannot defeat her, I shall submit to her will. Perhaps....perhaps this was what the Overmind had intended all along. But I am a mere cerebrate, and for now, my only goal is to strengthen the swarm. I will do this with or without the Queen of Blades.

I too fled the world, I assumed my brethren, the great, Daggoth returned to Aiur (provided he survived) and in my confusion I had an epiphany, the Queen of Blades slayed most of us, she was not designed to rule the swarm.

There is still hope for us, the loyalists, the true Zerg Swarm!
