Your Samir Duran Theories here

This isn't so much about SC:2 as a theory about the Xel'Naga.

Duran, would we all be willing to agree he is Xel'Naga? After the SC:2 news release me and a friend reloaded starcraft and began the story line to get caught up. Both of us haven't played the game in probably 4 years now.

Anyways, while we were both playing the game, we separately came to the question: Why does Duran appear Human? is it some form of illusion? Something he's done to modify his appearance?

Once me and my friend got too talking we came to the conclusion that maybe not all Xel'Naga were really destroyed after all. That maybe once upon a time Humans were the Xel'Naga.

Just an interesting plot twist that me and him thought up, we don't know if we necessarily believe it but i thought I'd share it^^

Duran is probably one of my favorite characters if just because of that bonus level^^

Hope we see him next game^^

 

Re: Quick Theory

I haven't played the original for ages now too and forgot a lot of things...

What bonus mission? I can't even remember that.

 

Re: Quick Theory

Its the part 3 of the brood war storyline "queen of blades"
u are playing as a cerebrate under kerrigan's control.....
and i think it was the 9th mission.....u have to destroy a protoss and a terran base.....in order to kidnap razalgal once again.....then zeratul killed her to free her from kerrigan's control

if u completed the mission in less than 25mins, u'll activate a bonus mission showing duran and a group of terran scientists experimenting with a protoss-zerg hybrid.

 

Re: Quick Theory

Nah, humans are not the Xel' Naga. That thing, what infested Duran, was rather some kind of parasite- not clear if biological or rather energetic. My theory is: the poor little confederate liutanant Samir discovered somithing horrible on Braxis during his guerila campaign against Terran Dominion. Something, what just possesed his body and so on. Nobody saw this. Then he witnessed UED strike against Terran Dominion. And he saw his chance to finish an old experiment of Xels.

 

Re: Quick Theory

I REALLY need to play the game again. I have no idea what you just said lol

When I get a chance I'm playing it again!

 

Re: Quick Theory

Well, when he called Zeratul "young prodigal", it made me wonder. I doubt he's Xel'Naga, but I believe he's an agent of the Xel'Naga. Maybe another failed race?

 

Re: Quick Theory

Oh this is so exciting! ;D
I have never realy thought of this.. It seems clearly that he is just infested by the Zerg.
Why would the Xel'Naga do such experiments with Protoss and Zerg?
damn.. I cant wait to play the StarCraft2 campaign..!!

 

Re: Quick Theory

wow, 6 replies and no random insult spams?

/is happy^^

changing the title to "Your Samir Duran Theories here" Go ahead and if you've played the story line resently (or not) go ahead and post your theory about who he might be/what he might be/what his goals are.

I mean you don't merge protoss and zerg for the sheer fun of it hes gotta have a goal.

 

Re: Quick Theory

The Xel'Naga were trying to create the perfect race (They like playing God(s)). The Protoss and Zerg were both pure in one respect, either Body or Essence (I mix them up). However, they weren't pure in the other respect. By combining them, if in fact it is the Xel'Naga behind the Hybrids, they're attempting to take both purities and put them into one race.

 

in one of the books there is a scientist with Duran in his name Duran mabey some kind of shapeshifter mabey back when brood war first came out I had some good ideas but that was a long time ago.

 

DOWN WITH DURAN!

 

Na man, Duran's a pimp. Sure, he's most likely a bad guy, but he's a cool one. The only beef I have with him is he killed Stukov.

 

why does everyone like stukov? XD the accent?

Honestly he was the only non-idiot of the UED but he made some dumb decisions himself. He coulda told Dugelle what happened with Duran...

 

well.... he has an accent cuz maybe hes either Russian or Polish? :
If he is Polish, I respect him cuz Im Polish too, lol
and they are called UED, which are people all united from Earth ;D

 

Only further supporting my growing idea that earth is full of idiots XD

Doesn't look like the future is any better off XD

 

How long have the Terrans been here? The start booklet said something, but i dont remember. But Duran has had many names over the past, and i dont think the Terrans have been there for centuries, so either the xel'naga (or some other unknown force) have been to earth before, or this is some 'agent' that uses Duran as a host or takes his form.

SWEET. KICKING. ASS.

 

lool, well the UED almost sound like a bunch of communists of the 25th century :

 

to: KoN17, stukov's accent is south american

If Duran is an agent of Xel'Naga, and lets say he IS a human with "infections", it could be possible that the Xel'Naga also created humans on earth
-OR-
During the early ages of human (ie 500,000 yrs ago), the Xel captured duran and gave him immortality?? hence he described himself in the bonus mission as "A servant of a greater power, a power that has slept through countless millenia"

 

The UED is Russian ;D

Duran calls Zeratul a "young prodigal", and he's 634 years old. Obviously, there is no way Samir's body could be that old.....However, it brings up and interesting question. Is that the body's original mind?



EDIT: Samir's "listed" age is 33. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

 

Lol, know any polish name like "Alexiei"? No, his Russian- it is sure.
