Aaand sold.
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Yay! A fun one! ...Except I really hated the book Heaven's Devils. The author had really bad narrative. REALLY bad.
In any case, I am having a baby-filled day today, as soon my niece will be over, and later on I have to babysit my nephews. Your analysis should be up later today, though.
Oh, and by the way, I'd like you to specify Infested Kerrigan versus Sarah Kerrigan. If it makes a difference. If you just hate her through and through, say that.

Goodie, this looks like fun.
Themes: Heroes, imagination, anti-conventional, nobility over political agenda, individualism, emphasis on your own opinion.
Romance: Sure, why not? You neither excel nor suck in this area, though sometimes you find yourself wondering why a relationship with a particular girl isn't as wonderful as you thought it would be. You have an idealized version of a girl in your head, but you're beginning to wonder if you'll find her.
Typing: I'm definitely seeing an introverted person, someone who prefers getting something done to talking about it. Sure, you can spare some encouraging words when the time calls for it, but you most often find yourself talking the longest when you have some sort of job or mission to accomplish. You're not afraid to point something out when you see that something is wrong, and if your warning is ignored, you often feel the urge to act on it yourself rather than get caught up in whatever you were warning them against. You try not to say "I told you so" too much. If I had to guess your Myers Briggs type, it would be INTJ. Generally you prefer the good to the bad, but messed up good irritates you more than pure evil. Evil is simple to understand, but messed up good? Not so much. You spend a lot of time inside your own head.
Leadership: You avoid it whenever possible. You don't see yourself as some masterful person skillfully leading others with grand words and charisma -- you just want to be the person who tells it like it is. Those types aren't generally people put in charge, so you're content either to work for someone you trust, work on your own, or work with people on a team where each person is equal. You like to discuss problems rationally, and that means considering the opinions of other intelligent, knowledgeable people, because you freely admit that you don't know everything.
Dislikes: you despise control freaks -- those that have to have things their way because they said so. As a logical person, you prefer reason to force, and when someone is irrationally forcing another to take action, it drives you nuts. Emotionalism is a waste of time to you, and it irritates you to put up with irrational people. I'm guessing you don't believe in God.
Personality issues: I have a feeling you often resist talking to people because you're not sure they understand you. While you do believe in good, you have a hard time figuring out how to execute good actions. Primarily because corrupted good irritates you so much, and you can't see how to make messed up good do actual good. You're also fearful of showing your true self. While you may not feel it as fear (maybe you just call yourself a reserved person), you would rather not open up to others and risk exposing your tender insides. You apply your harsh judgements of corrupted good to yourself, and thus lack self confidence. Possibly your confidence is a shell that hasn't cracked yet -- you see ideals and strength in yourself, but have not faced the harsh situations these ideals and strength deserve, like a war or severe poverty.
Advice: Let go. Relax. As a fellow rational, I know that it can be hard to acknowledge that sometimes emotions are things that cannot be ignored, and they can't be ignored in yourself, either. Imperfect beings can be used by God for good, and in fact are. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to be the most intelligent person in the world, but you do have to care.
Notes: Liking of Protoss, combined with hatred of Zerg, emphasizes idealism, justice, and a liking of complex things. Raynor in both Heaven's Devils and Brood War has something important in common with Fenix and Horner -- he isn't well developed. Sure, we get the character in concept, but Heaven's Devils didn't develop any of its characters, and in Brood War no one's really certain of why Raynor did anything. Horner and Fenix are likewise honorable, simplistic characters whose backgrounds are unknown. This indicates that you prefer characters who have a lot of "empty space" for you to put your imagination in and figure out who they are based on what you like.
As opposed to Kerrigan, the most ranted on character in the franchise, SC2 Raynor, who emos everywhere and explains his motivations and background every other dialogue, and Aldaris, a well developed but extremely irrational, emotional character. None of your liked characters display the level of emo-ism your disliked ones did. Instead, your liked characters were all straightforward, good, and rational at all times.

Hm, logging in just to participate in a personality quiz? Hmm hmm hmmmm....I hope to see your posts in other threads, young man.
For now, the brainpicking. Seriously, what is it with people not clarifying their Kerrigan?
Themes: contempt, standing above, underdogs, small and powerful above the majority, dislike of regular.
Romance: I don't see it. You have other things in mind right now, and you have trouble understanding girls (going on the assumption you are a dude). You can be very blunt, and bluntness and romance don't mix all that well.
Typing: ISTJ or INTJ? One of those. You're very serious about life, and while you have a mild sense of humor, it's the kind of humor where you like to be the one in on the joke while everyone else scrambles for answers. You like to have a clear, straightforward view on life, and you don't like complications or negotiations. Because negotiations aren't exactly your forte. Sure, you can be clear and rational with people, but the thing about rationality is that it only works on people who respond to it. You'd be surprised at how many people are very good at ignoring the rational in favor of the emotional.
Leadership: When the spirit moves. Thing is, while you're not particularly talented in the leadership ability itself, people do know when you know what you're talking about, and tend to follow you in those cases. Your rationality attracts those who fear that they have none of their own. Which can get on your nerves, but also makes you feel smart.
Dislikes: ....I have a hard time describing it, but you dislike the sinister pursuit of hazy, immoral goals. As a friend of clarity, you hate emotional ambiguity, as well as the selfish pursuit of one's goals. You also hate romance novels and anything that resembles them. Possibly hate hicks.
Personality issues: Guess who has superiority issues. You like to think of yourself as something unique and special, and while that's fine, you precious little snowflake, you're not the only flake on the hillside. You may have been bullied when you were younger, and you now see yourself as not a part of the crowd, as different and more powerful. Or you idealize the different and more powerful, wishing you were them. I see a lot of distrust going on in your life, and as a result you may shut others out. You don't directly like to hurt people, but at the same time, you'd rather not be like them.
Advice: Take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I'm trying to read you from your favorite Starcraft characters, y'know. But in case any of this is near to the mark, please get some emotional healing and forgive the people in your past that upset you so much. Believe in yourself, sure, but believe in yourself as a part of bringing good things to the world to bless it, not to prove that you're important to others. Or to prove that you're important to yourself.
Notes: Liking Protoss indicates idealism and elevated culture. Disliking Terrans indicates identity issues as well as a distaste for the regular. Aldaris, Fenix, and Tosh all have superiority issues: Aldaris thinks he's better than humans and Dark Templar, Tosh is a mystic soldier who doesn't play well with others, and Fenix, while not particularly bigoted, does have some critiques for the human race. They all mean well in the end, despite having trust issues. Kerrigan, SC2 Raynor, and Duke are all morally questionable and in fact have questionable goals -- no one knows for sure what they want, but everyone knows they'll do anything to get it.
