[free] offering my talent to long term projects

[yo momy ha]

WHO I AM
My name is Erik Vincent McQuarrie. I have been writing minor story’s for as long as I can remember. The story’s I usually make are for purely my own satisfaction but I have always believed they were made specifically for games. I have worked with a couple groups of people on games but never had passionate partners working on the games and eventually the group falls apart. Right now I am a hobbyist.

What I believe
I strongly believe that in order to make blockbuster games you need a blockbuster story.
Now in order to create these blockbuster stories you need strong back stories weather it’s provide right off the bat or if you need to follow the characters to unlock it. The stories must also give a sense of curiosity about the universe that engorges the reader or player to go out of their way to unlock the answers that drive their curiosity. The best stories are not made over night they are created months at a time.

What separates me from you?
I’m funny cool and good looking, just kidding. I am not a simple writer that wants to write, I am a creator. I don't just make a piece of writing but an experience that the reader gets plunged into. Also I want to become apart of the game creation experience. Witch for me means knowing what’s going on and changing my story to accommodate the game play experience. Oh and I’ll work for free meeting deadlines best I can.

EXAMPLE:
--Harmony Chapter 1—

Not many know the reason for this war or what were even fighting for but we just want it to end. If only it was just that easy. Our first mission was to go in and kill the #1 before this even started. Little did we know the real problem?

Intro: The year was 2101. We were on board Aircraft 517 which is currently under command of folly. Those among me are my squad [Leo Cortez, the engineer, Sierra Reding, CQC specialist, Cyclopes, our silent sniper] giving us company this mission are 20 Marines including the legendary Nathan Caberly, its rumored he lead his squad of 10 men to fend off some say 500 terrorists from total domination and turned the tides of war. My name is Ramon Cortez and this is where my story begins.

Faint voice: “Finish it.”
Sierra: “No, no, no, no- AHHH!”
*Smash!* Ramon’s body is tossing left and right. Sierra is pushing herself off the floor.

Leo: “Hey Brother, you up? Good. Were dropping soon you might want to gear up.”
Nathan: “Remember Rookies- the mission comes first.”
[He takes a glance at you while he says it.]

Intercom: “Time to go. “

Story: The gates open and everyone jumps out. As they get much closer to the ground, the squad deploys their parachutes.
--On the Ground--
Nathan: “ALRIGHT MARINES, WE’RE GOING TOO BE PROVIDING THE DISTRACTION. STAY ON YOUR TOES, AND HOLD YOUR GROUND WHEN WE GET THERE. MOVE OUT.”


Story: Your squad goes left, while the marines go right. You get to enemy territory.


Ramon: “Cyclops, do you see anything?”
Cyclops: “Twenty-five hundred feet”
Ramon: “Leo and I will take them out. Wait for the signal…”
[Waves his hand, squad moves up]
Sierra: [smirking] “Hostiles coming our way.”
Ramon: “Hold your fire, Sierra. Stay in the dark, and let them pass.”
Hostile, 1: “Hey, what the hell’s going on?”
[Their feet stop right next to you.]
Hostile, 2: “How should I know?”
[Runs away]
Hostile, 3: “Hey wait up!”
[Hostile, 1 follows]
Sierra: “Look over there- a group of tangos running the same way.”
Leo: “Let’s hurry. With the amount of people here, we’ll-”
[Ramon cuts him off]
Ramon: “I know.”
[Checks his map]
“The quickest way would be that alley. Straight to the Tower and no one falls behind.
[Turns the corner and drops the group of five tangos 600 feet up.]
Sierra: “On the roofs!”
[Cyclopes picks the sniper up and pulls off three shots in a couple of seconds.]
The bodies from the tower fall, with the blood seeming to be yanked out of them, and slam into the ground brutally. A growing crowd gathers around them.
Ramon: “Looks like we have no other choice. There’s only one entrance. Cyclops, grenade! Go loud!”
[A grenade is tossed to Ramon. He tosses it into the crowd and pulls the detonator out.]
A metallic box forms a round the enemies and they start to scream. All you hear is a loud thump and the screaming stops.
Ramon: “Sierra, go!”


Story: Sierra leaps over the box and breaks down the giant door right behind it, then runs in guns blazing. Your squad follows.


Leo: “missed one!”
[Pulls the trigger on a guy hiding in the corner]
Sierra: “Oh, shut up.”
INTERCOM: “Nathan: are you guys done? I’m getting hammered out here; we’re down to ten marines!”
Ramón: “Just a few more minutes- hold on.”
[Switches intercom off]
Ramon: “Squad, move up. We need to reach that target.”


Story: You move up and fight through the building and get to a door


Ramon: “Leo, hack the controls.”
Leo: “On it, sir.”
[The door opens and everyone walks in]
Sierra: “Don’t tell me this was for nothing.”
[Windows slam open in the walls]
Crazy scientist: “Looks like the Americans want him dead as much as me. Men, open fire.”
Leo: “It’s an ambush!”
[Ambush ends]
Ramon: [Over radio] “Nathan where are you?”
*Static*
“Damn! Leo, can you get a read on his location?”
[Leo Pulls out his tac pad.]
“He’s moving away from the rally point, and fast. He’s stopped.
[Shows Ramon the pad]
Ramon: “Nathan is compromised not too far from here. Let’s move.”
Leo: “Brother, we got five minutes until extraction leaves.”
Ramon: “We’ll think of something.”


Story: You fight your way through the enemy and get to a good view point.


Cyclops: “Look.”
[Tangos have Nathan hostage and loading him in to a truck. And a tank is rolling in]

Ramon: “Cyclops, engage.”

[Cyclopes breaths, pulls the trigger five times. Four guys by the car go down, and you see blood spill out of the slit in the tank.]
[You move up, while Nathan crawls over to the tank for cover. Enemies are advancing on his position. It’s your job to get to him before they do.]
[You untie him and hand him a gun.]
Nathan: “Took you long enough, Rookies. Now, how are we getting out of here?”
[A grenade goes off and takes a tread off the tank]
Sierra: [looks at the truck] “I got shotgun.”
Nathan: “I got the gun, rookies.”
Ramon: “I’ll drive.”
[Drive your way out of there and up to the back of the air craft while you’re being shot at]
[Ramon pulls out the radio] “Drop the hanger and make some room.”
[You drive up the aircraft’s ramp and it takes off]
Crazy scientist: “They got away?”
Tango, 1: “Yes, sir.”
Crazy scientist: “That’s OK. We’ll see them again.”
