Welcome to Sylum Clan

Hello!  Welcome to Sylum!

Recently we’ve had newbies and some poor souls that have stumbled onto Sylum with no idea what the crazy is all about.  I figured it was time to do a ‘Sticky Post‘ to help all those who wander into the Manor, navigate around this vast universe.

So here we go.

***

If you’re new here, welcome!!  You’ve just been recommended to this vast multi-story universe, and you likely have no idea where to go or what to do.

Well first off.

Fact: Vampires exists.

Second.

Welcome to Sylum Clan.

A multi-layered, character driven storyverse.

Inspiration for the first story that effectively launched this concept, was the death of Timothy ‘Speed’ Speedle from the Television Series CSI: Miami.

His implausible and much mourned demise, led to the premise that you can’t kill someone if they’re already dead.

This quite literally immortalized him, birthing the first story Kiss of Death, and the rest just kept on growing, sprawling  across more than 7,000 years of unexpected history, and on into the future.

A few things you should know, so you can’t say we didn’t warn you *grins*.  There are 3 Major Story Arcs, and hundreds of Supplemental Stories.  These stories expand across 13 Clans, 7 Kin Clans, and showcase over 1200 Characters.

We just hit our 15th Anniversary in 2020!

Character Introduction / Sanctuary Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Brandon Sullivan

Sanctuary: Member

 

Brandon doesn’t talk about his childhood.  His parents had a volatile relationship and should’ve never had children.

He and his sister, Sissy, ended up pretty fucked up by the time they hit their adult years (Dilios Note: His words)

Brandon doesn’t remember exactly how it happened.  Just that one minute he was making deal with some rich asshole to get his sister out of bad situation, the next he woke up chained in a shed in the middle of the jungle, with some Aussie next to him.

Character Introduction / Vampire Council0

Sylum Inspiration: Imenand

Vampire Council: Clan Leader

 

Imenand was a Tutor that worked at the Palace.

He himself had been raised at the Palace, and it was his childhood friend, who had become Pharaoh who had made sure that his friend was well taken care of in life.

Imenand met his wife, who was a servant to the Pharaoh’s wife. The two gave the couple their blessings to marry. She gave him five beautiful children, all accepted and reigned freely with in the palace.

He was devastated when his wife was taken from him by a fever that had spread rampant through the valley, five years after their youngest daughter had been born. He mourned her death, and was honored when she was laid to rest next to the Pharaoh’s own wife who had also perished from the fever.

He set out to raise his own children, and make sure all the children in the Palace were educated. When his friend passed, leaving the throne to his son, Imenand stayed as a teacher. He was well respected among the court, many had sought him out for his wisdom on variety of topics.

His oldest son Baraka had joined the military, much to his father’s dismay, making a name for himself, along with his best friend and fellow soldier Kafele. When he received word that something had happened to both men. He feared the worst and set out to find them. During his search he was introduced to Ardeth Bey of the Medjai.

Ardeth sat him down and told him that his son was safe, along with his friend. Explained that the Cult of the Apep had taken Kafele. They were able to save him but he was Turned.

Imenand talked with the Medjai Leader, asking questions about the Vampire Race. Ardeth introduced him to Viduus and the two talked for days, and at the end Imenand requested to be Turned.

Character Introduction / Shogun Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Daniel LaRusso

Shogun: Member

 

Daniel was a normal kid who grew up in New Jersey, until his mother moved them across the country to Los Angeles California.   He didn’t fit well into the new society, and found himself the victim of bullying.  He was befriended by Miyagi, who taught him karate.   Through his teachings he was able to hold his own and defend himself against the bullies.  Leading up to winning the Tri Valley Tournament.

With Miyagi’s help Daniel excelled in school, then went to college ending up with a degree in physical fitness.   He spent time teaching, working in sport centers, and variety of dojos.   Nothing made him happy, and was ready to quit, when Miyagi showed back in his life and dragged him to Japan.

There he learned about Vampires and so much more.

He spent a few years getting his ass handed to him by a variety of hunters, honning his own skills.   When he went back to Los Angeles, he knew what he wanted and opened his own dojo.

Miyagi asked him if he wanted to be Turned, Daniel finding a family with Shogun agreed.
