To the Writers of Sera

First of all, welcome to dA's first ever Group dedicated entirely to Gears of War Fan Fiction :excited:. You may notice some artists on here have their very own personal Galleries. These were introduced in full on December 15, 2011.

:bulletblue: So, what are the requirements for getting one?

Simply have 6 or more deviations in the group and remain active. If we open a folder for someone and they don't submit any new art over a long period of time, then we will send the deviations back to the overall folders and delete the personal one.

Now, on to the Clarifications & Rules:

:bulletred: The type of Fics &/or official stuff (EG: Comics) accepted here are reflected in the title of the individual Gallery Folders. Please keep in mind our image folders are for artwork relating to the Fan Fiction written by the members of this group ONLY. We do not accept general Gears artwork. Occasionally we will get things submitted here that we will allow into our Misc. Other folder, however, anything in there will not be Featured.

:bulletred: Please NO porn/hentai, smut, Slash, Yaoi, Yuri, or any of their equivalents, and if you lean towards being detailed in the violent and/or sexual side of things remember to make very good use of dA’s built-in warning system. This would also apply to an overabundance of swearing too.

:bulletred: Our submission limit is 3 deviations per person per week, with exceptions prepared to be made for novel FF to get all completed chapters up here initially.

:bulletblack: GearsofWarFF reserves the right not to accept anything we feel may be in violation of the above and to add to any of these guidelines set herein at any time.

If you have any questions, send us a note or leave a comment, we’d be glad to help :work:.

GOW - The Party (One Shot)The Party

“Par-ty: Noun: A social gathering of invited guests, typically involving eating, drinking and entertainment.”

---

The only problem with the castle was that it didn’t exactly look very… welcoming. That was Madison Carmine’s one gripe with being here. Not to give the wrong impression, he was more than happy to stay here with his newfound friends of Lacouna and Akvolt’s new Horde, but as a human, he felt rather unsettled.

Gears of War - Original Creatures - AcolytesName: Acolytes

Description: Roughly the same size and body structure of a Locust Grenadier. Acolytes were long, beige coloured robes with ripped Grenadier leggings underneath, along with tatty, worn out boots. They also were a hood that shrouds most of their face in shadow, showing only their glowing eyes or their skeletal jaw. Their hands, the only other part of their body to be seen also appears to be more bone than flesh.

Weapons: Gnasher Shotgun, Sawn-Off Shotgun, Boltok

Bio: One of the more reclusive and rare breeds of Lambent mutations out there. The Acolytes are believed to be the students of the mysterious “Overseers”, Gears of War - Original Creatures - Acolytes by ~Soundwave04

Gears of War - Original Creatures - KnightName: Knights

Description: Knights are almost identical to their master, Emissary Scourge. Possessing similar looking armour, but the helmets they wear have only two horns, lacking the third horn Scourge’s has. Knights are notably shorter than Scourge as well.

Weapons: Cleaver, Daggers, Kunai, Mace.

Bio: As well as his delusional dreams of Godhood, Scourge can also be very vain, so much so that his own cadre of troops, the Knights, are modelled in his very image.

Much like Rain Maker’s Flayers and Havoc’s Shamblers, the Knights serve under Scourge. These particular Lambent warriors are purely Melee fighters. Equipped witGears of War - Original Creatures - Knight by ~Soundwave04

Gears of War - Original Creatures - FlayersName: Flayer

Description: The Flayer is almost identical to the standard Lambent Drone in almost every way. The only real difference is the headgear: the creature looks as though it has the Visor of a Flame Grenadier fused to it’s face, suggesting that was the Locust it once was before mutation.

Flayers also glow a slight shade of green, rather than Imulsion yellow.

Weapons: “Corrupter” Chemical sprayer, Boltok, “Injector” blade.

Bio: A rather unique creature of the Lambent mutations, the Flayers appear to be the personal cadre of soldiers serving under Emissary Rain Maker. Though they are just as wild and feGears of War - Original Creatures - Flayers by ~Soundwave04

Gears of War - Original Creatures - NemesisName: Nemesis

Description: A hulking behemoth of a human, the Nemesis is clad in reinforced, pitch black metallic armour. What looks like a radio antenna in on the back of the left shoulder of the armour. Two weapons appear on the end of the soldier’s arms.

The helmeted visor has three appearances, one resembles a T shape, another is a wide circle, similar to a diving helmet, while the last is simply four large “bug” eyes. All three visor variants glow a blinding bright green.

Weapons: Modified Gnasher Shotgun, “Nucleon” Grenade Launcher.

Confusion

The Locust Foot Soldier fell; just crumpled in a heap. Even as it was being filled with a myriad of Lancer powered bullets, the Boomer froze mid reload before he too seemed to lose all muscle control, knees collapsing, out cold, one hundred percent sure to be dead. Another Drone further back, this one carrying the standard Gnasher Shotgun, and without there being any visible reason why, keeled over as well, followed by another, and another.

Underground.

If they'd been there for any other reason they may have appreciated their surroundings for what they were – one word – beautiful. Their Grindlift landing and subsequent travels had seen them traversing over rocky terrain untouched by human or Locust additions, aglow with various sized mushrooms and flying insects, rock minerals and a red fruit none of them had ever seen before. There were even trees beneath the surface, their large and bulging roots pushing up, down and through sections of the rocks, becoming a part of the walls or ground; the area heavily booted feet stepped upon and sometimes, just sometiGears of War: Deployable Weapon - Chapter 2 by *Mana4X2

"This is Omega-One. We're about to be overrun," stuck between a rock and… another rock or two. Their Grindlifts had mercifully landed on solid ground, surrounded by the water flowing through naturally occurring ducts in the ground beneath from the river a sheer cliff face drop a short distance behind them. Even the large tree in the middle of what could tentatively be called a path was encircled by one of the elements that really did seem to define the underground structure of Sera. It was intensely unfortunate the only way any of them could go turned out to be a Defensive Line built, and now in full use, by the Locust.

GoW: Deployable Weapon Part 4Confirmation

To lean down and effectively raid fellow Gears for anything of use was not something any one of them could honestly say they were morally fine with, not even in the slightest. Yet in spite of how uncomfortable it made them feel, it had to be done. Aside from replenishing damaged armour, weapons and collecting additional ammo, there were also the food rations or water they may have been carrying. As much as it could turn the stomach, persons still living to continue the fight against the Horde had to take from those who no longer needed it.

Tomorrow (Chapter 4)(Baird's P.o.V)

Sleep just isn't coming.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that irony is a very cruel bitch, but what are the chances of getting insomnia after an 18 year war ends? Then add that to the fact that sleep had never been an issue for me in the first place.
If you ask me, that’s like a whole new level of derision to my psyche.

I breathe deeply, letting steam from the shower engulf each of my senses—a poor attempt to calm my thoughts, which are racing.

For a moment, the male gear was unaware as to why she was in his room, until he remembered their conversation last night, and the small gift he had left in her room a few hours afterward.
“Sam it’s…” his voice was still thick with sleep as it trailed off, hands fumbling feverishly for his watch that rested on the bedside table.

Sighing, she once again felt the hull of Sovereign groan under the weight of another massive wave; the storm outside was giving the old ship one hell of a night.

So... GOWJ?

:iconmana4x2:

Hey all,

First up, sorry for being so quiet. Just haven't had much oomph for anything other than games lately, then of course Gears of War: Judgement came out, and now I have the flu. Yay! :(.

Anyway, for those of you who haven't played GOWJ yet...

:bulletred: WARNING: SPOILER ALERT :bulletred:


For those who have... Spill. What did you guys think?


Campaign

Judgement: As with all the main stories of Gears, I loved it. Took a bit longer to get attached to the new characters and get past the fact Baird was nowhere near as cynical as he has been, but otherwise, it was a great look into exactly why he's never been promoted higher than Corporal. I thoroughly enjoyed the classic fast paced fights and what seemed like Horde integrated into the game itself. The newer weapons are all good but for me, for some reason the Breechshot and Marksa made my day :lol:. It was a lot of fun passing through areas of Halvo Bay that had barely been touched, if at all - the detail was AMAZING! Case in point - the Professor's mansion!

Aftermath: I know there are books to fill in a lot of stuff, but for Epic to make this one for us to play, I love them for it! Being a fan of the Lambent the Imulsion Factory part was among the most fun for me. The Formers coming up out of it - SO very cool! Only thing that had me wondering was where in the world the Ragers have been for the past 15 or so years =P. Actually, I was thinking where did a lot of the Savage related Locust in Judgement disappear to. We never saw any of them until Gears 3. Guess it can be explained, but... anyone care to enlighten me? Lol.

Now, to the Gameplay Controls. Once I got used to them the changes became SO much easier. The fact the ammo the Locust drop adds to whatever weapon you are carrying and just running over it picks it up instead of pressing the X takes a lot less time. The only thing I missed there was being able to carry a pistol as well. For the reason that my main Gears OC is a healer, you can imagine just how much I LOVE the Stim Grenade :heart:. You fall down, I'm there! Lol.

Multiplayer

Not much to say on this one really. Truthfully, I prefer the old Horde, but I am slowly getting used to Survival and Overrun. The others don't really interest me. I miss being able to use whatever weapon is available, build and rebuild the barriers the old way and be more than just the four characters, yet, at the same time do enjoy being the Locust in something that doesn't have such a short countdown. I am not sure if anyone else has had the same problem but I always seem to get into games set on Hardcore and that is not the setting I want when learning something new like this. As mentioned above, the one aspect I do like is being Sofia, the team Medic :D.

Here's a helpful tip for playing overrun on hardcore. Have at least 3 engineers, 1 medic ,and 1 soldier. Have the engineers stay attached to the barriers. Have the soldiers deploy the ammo as often as he can. As the medic throw the stim grenade as soon as some one goes down and use the sawed off to deal with corpsers since its one shot one kill. If all barriers are down stay close to what ever your defending have sentries deploys everywhere. I learned this form Uberhaxornova and Kootra Check them out on youtube seriously they are hilarious.
