Dark Templar OCC

(Version 1.00 - Last Modified: 11/11/2002)

Forced off of Aiur for pursuing forbidden arts, the Lost Tribes needed trained and powerful warriors to protect their nearly defenseless ships so the Dark Templar were reorganized into a powerful military force similar to the entire Templar caste on Aiur. The training used by the new Dark Templar is very similar to the Templar Warrior OCC, except for the focus on magic. The Dark Templar also have access to very different technology then the Templar Warriors and this is evident with the Corsair General Fighter and the Dark Templar Armor.

The Dark Templar are usually sent out to explore both the surrounding galaxy and the megaverse and it was a group of Dark Templar that Tassadar discovered on the planet Char. Even without direct approval from their leaders, the Dark Templar on Char formed an alliance with Tassadar and the two groups worked together against their common enemy, the Zerg.

As with the Templar Warriors, there are several different types of Dark Templar. The most common type is the Dark Warrior, which combines magic, technology, and training to create a highly effective warrior. The Dark Warriors also have the ability to merge together to form a creature known as a Dark Archon, similar to the High Templar's ability to create a regular Archon. The other major type of Dark Templar are the pilots that control the powerful Corsair fighters.

O.C.C. Abilities:

1. Area of Specialization
   When making a Dark Templar OCC, please select one of the following areas of specialization:
   
   
   • Dark Warrior:
     Just as there are normal Protoss children that can become Zealots and High Templar, the Lost Tribes have powerful children that can become Dark Warriors. The Dark Warriors are beings that possess incredible magical abilities and have significant combat skills. While no where near as powerful in combat as a fully trained Zealot, the Dark Warriors use their magic and technology to create a formidable opponent.
     • Attribue Requirements: PE of 20 and PP of 12.
     • Magic:
       In addition to the magical powers known to all Lost Tribe Protoss, the Dark Warrior specializes in one area of Magic. Dark Warriors can choose any one of the following areas of specialization:
       • Conjuror O.C.C.
       • Ley Line Walker O.C.C.
       • Shifter O.C.C.
       • Stone Master O.C.C.
