[Cole Matthews] Gaia-Town - A Non-GA Approved Fantasy Fiction Project


Recommended Posts

Absolutely. I was going to make him Waldrons client for the weapon he's working on. That would work.

Perfect! Beside everything else you might have in mind he also wants to buy throwing knives and Fearghas is always with him. Can't wait to read your piece. :)

The Merchant – Asmodeus

 

Asmodeus is a great merchant. He works on the outskirts of Gaia Town. He doesn’t like people and he doesn’t like animals. In fact, he doesn’t really like anything living. But he knows what he knows. And what he knows keeps him out of trouble. Most merchants collect objects, weapons, gold and sell for a higher price. No. Asmodeus collects much deeper jewels. He collects secrets from anyone who will give them to him, in exchange for something. He doesn't offer his services for free, he lives comfortably and in order to do that he charges a high fee. But monetary value is nothing to him. He charges a much greater cost.

 

It was once heard that The King approached Asmodeus for help on a critical issue of national importance. The King returned, but he never was the same again.

 

What is it that Asmodeus does to people, that makes them so different? He is surely not to be trusted by anyone. Or is there someone that knows his secret?. He somehow has wrangled his way into the Courts of both Gaia Town and the enemy, through his keeping of secrets. His name is never mentioned by anyone for fear of losing those dear to them. He is a dangerous, volatile and unpredictable being. He is a last resort. For anyone. Even the wizards fear him. The soothsayers say even The Gods fear him.

 

Theres a rumour, just a rumour, that he takes exactly what is most important to a person. Their memories. But who knows? It could be something much darker and much more sickening. Dare you approach Asmodeus?


Hope that sparks peoples creativity :)

No one ever accused me  of being a good graphic artist but here are my meager attempts.  At least we'll have a frame of spatial reference.  There are maps of the larger island where Gaia-Town is located as well as a map of Gaia-Town neighborhoods in my Gallery. I don't know how to post to the forum. 

Thanks!

Let me know people, I am shooting for a beginning release around Feb 15.  This is all new and crazy. I can send my story around to Aditus, Johnathan, and Joann, who have revealed bios for characters. I've included your characters in my story.  We can then reveal stories over the course of a week. I need your input. We can also just reveal on the same day, which would be really cool. I love the different perspective thing too. I'm trying to be open. Give me your thoughts.

Okay, I hope this works. I'm going to post on Feb 15th. I will use "Gaia-Town- Quench" as my title and post here. I'm going to post the "History of Gaia-Town as a prologue. You can post Gaia-Town-(chapter title) as yours going forward. As soon as we have characters published to use, we can begin playing with each other's sketches. Does this work for you? I love the idea of us giving diverse perspectives of these characters. I've used Aditus' Taranis, Jo Ann's Endora, and Johnathan's Asmodeus is an important part. Deep breath. If you are opposed, let me know. 

I'm excited about this.

I hope I'll make it. I would like to use Gaia Town - The Tales of Taranis and Fearghas or something like this, because I think I'll write some more chapters about them and I'd prefer to have them all at one place. What do you think?

My apologies for inserting myself into your conversation but I think what you're attempting sounds intriguing and I'm very curious to see what you create. Thought you might appreciate some prelaunch encouragement.

 

Best wishes to you all,

So, the prologue and the first three chapters for Gaia-Town are up and running.  I will post those links below.  Fantastic chapters by Aditus and Joann414 and my own offerings as well.  We are planning the next chapters for the middle of March.  It is actually a lot of fun.  If anyone would like to jump in and play in our sandbox, please let us know.  We'd love to have more characters and storylines in Gaia-Town.  Don't be shy.  We don't bite though I've been told Fearghas does!!!

Cole, would you sent yours to my email that is jsullivan@ftcweb.net.  My yahoo email is slow at work.  I have a little time, and would like to read it.  Finally sent my antho to REnee for the second edit.  Hopefully, I'll get my chapter going for Gaia :music:

 

Addy, when you finish, you can send yours also if you like.  I have some of mine in thoughts.  Gotta dig back through it through real life these last few days.  Thanks you two.  I'm really enjoying working with ya'll. :P  :funny:
