9.14.05 Writer's Blog: The Series

The Series Featuring the viewpoints of Talbot, Teague, Larkin, and Fallen with a look at the planets Emoh, Ashnah, Telsim, and Earth, the Water Planet. Telsim is almost communist, Emoh is almost robotic, but you always have your rebels…do they all go to Ashnah? How did people end up where? Notes for ideas: Talbot is in Ashnah where Farious Farcast is the only one opposed to Rigolo’s Revolution. Ashnah and Emoh have been in political battles for years. Emoh’s trophy is a small portion of Ashnah kept under glass and tight security in Emoh as researchers attempt to clone the last living planet. The people of Emoh don’t know about the stolen portion of Ashnah, but are led to believe that Ashnah is a diseased planet and the people on it are all infected. This giant lie is created to keep the people of Emoh ignorant of the government’s plans and to avoid protest for war against Ashnah. The people of Emoh also don’t realize that their life cannot continue to sustain as it is. Should Emoh and Telsim reverse names? Could Emoh be old earth? The half-land? The deal between President of Emoh and Rigolo: Rigolo is the real villain. President thinks he is in control, but he has no control at any point in the story—demonstrated even by small points: asks Rigolo to sit, Rigolo continues to stand. “Minorities will always survive because we have sustained our way of life around them by the use of them.” Possible that Teage and Talbot fall in love and discover they are brother and sister? Parents could have been cause of great divide between the planets, or they could have been the freedom fighters. Talbot became a freewalker like her mother? Freewalker: A fighter having no allegiance to a single group; employed out of disparity and loyal to employer only until a battle or war is won. They fight to fight, not for the cause, and are extremely gifted fighters. For these reasons, they are not highly thought. The Family Ties: Going back generations Larivant and Decanten have twins, Teague and Talbot. Born enemies and secret lovers, Larivant became pregnant before Decanten could fulfill his promise of peace. Possible to link all this to Sin Is A Myth. In which case, the family tree would be expanded, every-other generation had siblings that fell in love: Pendithor & Framos & Vilencia Mendithas & Quency Decanten & Larivant Teague & Talbot *refresh on Pendithor’s history. There may be another link with the generations in relation to a universal balance. Do the siblings falling in love re-create the balance or disrupt it? What is the role of Fate? OR is Sin Is A Myth too heavy to tie into the younger generation sci-fi? Who is my audience? OKAY, now what about Fallen and Larkin? Character Sketches Talbot: Obviously coming from a rough up-bringing, perhaps with very little parenting or supervision, it is possible that she was orphaned at a very young age and managed to fend for herself and learned from strangers how to hunt, fight, and the rest of it. She is very strong, but it is a false shield she puts up because she cannot let it down. Perhaps her deepest desire to have someone else look after her, rather than fighting for herself all the time. She became a Freewalker at a young age and quickly gained acknowledgement (different from respect) from leaders and villagers for being a savage fighter with an inconceivable luck for being unhurt. Having no last name as an orphan, rumors quickly named her Talbot Stone because of her strength. All heroes must have one great adventure story to make them famous… Talbot took place in a historic battle, what was it? What happened? Why was it so important? What was the aftermath? Teague: He is a very naïve and optimistic individual who didn’t quite get the chance to grow-up. He is extremely fast and physically strong, even though he has a smaller build; these traits are used greatly to his advantage. Larkin: Also orphaned very young, Larkin insists he never had parents but simply appeared one day, walking and talking; this is, of course, a fabrication, for Larkin isn’t stupid and knows the impossibility of such a thing. But his major character downfall is his inability to forgive; he holds a grudge very tightly. His hatred is in being deceived, which is a hypocrisy against his character since he consistently lies and makes things up. However, it may be argued that his lies are harmless (and sometimes helpful) and the jut of each joke is an attempt to keep a positive viewpoint on his sad life. Fallen: A product of Telsim, is the only one who knew his parents. He lived for seven years in the cookie-cutter and communist life of Telsim before getting the chance to run away. Having experienced Telsim first hand, Fallen is the most objective towards society’s forceful push of a concept similar to the New Right that would extensively eliminate individualism. The political promise to spread “equality and fairness to all” was perceived correctly by Fallen as a disguised proposal to keep everyone the same. The only one in the group with even a small education, Fallen’s main contribution is to read take care of their “finances” (although Larkin prefers devising plots to steal). This is exhausting!!!!
