The Shrike vs. The Culture

Post by **fgalkin** » 2002-11-15 07:49pm

The Culture vs. the Lord of Pain.

Effectors cannot mindfuck the Shrike, but they can be used for other purposes, such as draining energy, etc)

The Shrike cannot travel back more than 5 years.

All Culture beings (Minds, drones, humans) are prone to Merlin's sickness.

Can the Shrike destroy the Culture?

Have a very nice day.

it's not "a" Shrike, it's "the" Shrike. He's unique.

Shrike: big, tall, 12ft thing in effegy of a man made of barbed wire and spikes. Able to stop/travel through/control time (time moves how the shrike wants it to move (mostly). There are limits, such as the sphink card (5 minutes forwards in time, no way back.) and the entire Ttime tombs setup (contained shrike for very long time, moving it back one day for every day that went forward) Other than that, very nasty critter.)). Once kicked the asses of a regiment of the galaxies best troops (though it only kicked a very few asses, the rest was done by the paniced troops), although it also fought with a large number of copies far in the future against a bunch of humans, and one mean ass FORCE (space army) Major, with lesser time tech and was defeated. AI run, for a while at least, haven't read End of Edymion which is end of shrike saga. HOWEVER, has no spaceflight, can only travel by Farcaster/ship like any other creature.

Don't know culture, no opinion.
