No where near as introverted as I used to be, though, and working in a hospital has drastically improved the whole leadership thing.![]()

Agreed. And it's out of character too, even after Tassadar told him fifteen times where he could shove the Conclave's will, Aldaris was always coming back with a "You should totally give up and return to the fold. The Conclave may prove merciful.". Dude just would not let up. Then on Shakuras he remains utterly silent? What gives?
Zeratul: I have journeyed through the darkness between the most distant stars. I have beheld the births of negative-suns and borne witness to the entropy of entire realities...
Aldaris: Did not! That doesn't even make sense!
Zeratul: Shut up, I totally did!

I always assumed that Raszagal ran him off, the same way she did a few missions earlier when she told him to shut up and let Kerrigan talk. Aldaris didn't have any patience with her because she was already a Dark Templar and so even before all this went down, his trust for her was fragile. As for Zeratul, you have to remember he just spent however long it was to get the Uraj and the Khalis with Kerrigan, so he might have assumed that Zeratul got brainwashed, much the same way Raszagal did.
What is more of a stumper to me is that Aldaris definitely would have told his own followers, and there's no way Zeratul would have annihilated all of them. Even if Raszagal had told him to, he wouldn't have, as his reluctance to kill Aldaris proves. So why didn't one of those surviving Khalai people say, "Hey, your leader is a brainwashed crackhead"?
Aw, no one wants to figure my personality out? Aww...

We're gamers. We're not exactly "active" unless its something we're passionate about. Debating the merits of adding new units in LotV? War and Peace sized essay. Figuring out the idiosyncrasies of some random "girl" on an internet forum? This isn't reddit.
Also, I've been playing way too much MTG lately, so every time I see your name I just picture you like this:

Here's proof I'm a girl

Lol. Anyway, I just figured we're all nerds here, and it's all in good fun.

Don't mind, Squibb. He likes for us to pretend he's complex and mysterious and not just full of shit.
Rest In Peace, Old Friend.

Okay, Nissa. I'm interested in psychology, so I'll take a shot at it. (Now, if you could give me some of your favorite artwork, and some of your least favorite, it would be cool to try it the Thrawn way.)
Seems like you have this down to a science. Me, not so much.
But from what I can gather, you are fairly empathetic, kind and prone to altruism. Though Aldaris is a bit interesting; his inclusion could imply a few things. One is the (in my opinion) superficial analysis of his character, which is the cold and distant dictator of dogma, one who dislikes having authority questioned. However, Raynor and Kerrigan obviate this aspect, necessitating the deeper analysis of Aldaris' character; so, on the other hand we have Aldaris the leader who sees value in tradition, and places honor and the well-being of the collective on a high pedestal. This latter analysis would lead me to believe you may be somewhat proud, but will readily admit the errors of your ways when given proof. This of course requires effective communication skills, a trait you have.
I'm also guessing you're not a fan of H P Lovecraft. You dislike the selfish and the dictatorial. You may value order, but are not necessarily a stickler for the system. You hate people who crave power. I also suspect you may be the kind of person who takes up causes -- perhaps charity work, or you may follow things like Occupy Wall Street. The phrase, “Who watches the Watchmen” comes to mind; sometimes, the best way to improve the system is to work outside it. You have an innate sense of right and wrong, and have a need to go against the grain to see justice be done. You’re something of a misfit, I suppose. You’re also shy at first, perhaps seemingly mellow or quiet, but not as much as you used to be. There are lingering trust issues over an event or series of events in your life, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? But this shyness is a façade that melts away when you get to know somebody, at which point you can almost be called boisterous. You have a big heart, and you follow it. This sometimes puts you at a disadvantage in some circumstances, but you still have that need to do what you feel is best.
That's not to say you are a creature of pure emotion. No, you use your head alongside your heart, and have a gift for impartiality. Your close friends see this and get relationship advice, whether it's of a friendly or romantic nature. You read, a lot, and admire intelligence, a quality you yourself have.
You can be quite the romantic. You are selfless and devoted, though again sometimes this gets you in trouble. You are literate, yet don’t quite expect fairy tale romance. But it’s not the destination that matters, but the journey; the continual striving for something that matters. And that makes all the difference.
You consider yourself a free spirit and artist, and have an insatiable need to be surrounded by creativity. Again, those who don't know you might not realize you can be excitable, but this is something your close friends cherish and admire and find contagious. You have a developed sense of humor that is sometimes self-effacing.
Finally, you have a problem with self-centered people. You value people who are likewise empathetic, and you're closest friends are those who have the same desire as you to "get to know" people, but on more than just a superficial level. This is something you need in life.
Okay, so how big of a hole have I dug myself in to?![]()

Charming, Squidling.
Forgot to address this.
YEah. I'm southern, born and in-bred. It's been something of an issue for me. Where I was raised was with self-centered, bigoted people, and came to see that as representative of the entire south. It was only later I grew out of my naivete and discovered it represented only that one area. In many places, the people are as warm as the climate, and I'm hoping to move back soon. All that said, Duke sort of represents to me that cliched southern fiend I grew to loath as a kid.Originally Posted by Nissa
