Sylum Top Ten – 15th Anniversary: Bonus Question 15 (Part 3)

Bonus Question where you got to ask me questions!

The last question:

After nurturing Sylum for 15 years, what’s your vision of the future. I know the past few years has seen a lot of revamping of the original arc due to changes, but you’ve brought Dune, Star Trek, and Star Wars into the mix. There’s been several great stories for Star Wars, but only a few tidbits for Dune and Star Trek. What’s on the storyboard for them?

Character Introduction / Sanctuary Clan1

Sylum Inspiration: Ethan Hunt

Sanctuary: Lead Hunter

Since it’s my birthday month!  I’m choosing some of the character I enjoy writing about!

 

Ethan grew up during the American Civil War, and had heard the stories of his Uncle who fought gallantly during the war, and then disappeared into the Far East.  Never to be seen again.

He followed in his Uncle’s footsteps and joined the Army. He was recruited by James Phelps out of the Army and into the Military Intelligence Division.

Ethan was good at espionage. He was fast on his feet and thought three steps ahead of everyone else. James used him for many operations through Europe, including to help steal top secrets from Intelligence sources in Britain.

It was at during one of these missions, that Ethan began to realize Phelps was playing a double sided game. When he confronted the man, he found himself in a far worse situation.

Sylum Vault: Updates!

Don’t worry we’re not physically moving again!  Actually the good news is that the project room is finally up and running, which means we’re exploring new things for the Vault.  The biggest one, we’re moving away from Etsy and getting our own website!  This is of course a slow process that will take time (don’t worry we’ll keep you updated on all the shenigans).  

So at the moment we’re running a BIG SALE at Etsy!  50% off Everything!  Been wanting some new jewelry, fun trinkets, or cards – now is the time to get them!   This sale will last through to the end of the year, but we can’t guarantee all items will be available, so get them while you can.

Coffee Day

It’s a shame this didn’t land on Coffee House Friday!

But today is National Coffee Day!

Actually I’ve had to cut out all caffeine from my diet, so I don’t drink coffee anymore 🙁

So I live through everyone else!

Favorite brews?  Types of Coffee?  Do you have your own Coffee Spot in your home?

Character Introduction / Ghost and Darkness1

Sylum Inspiration: Allan Quartermain

Ghost/Darkness: Second-in-Command

 

Allan Quatermain doesn’t talk much about his life before he set foot in Africa.  He won’t even mention his real name.

What he will tell you, is this: Some strange little Shaman looked at him, yelled out some weird words, wiped paint across his cheeks and forehead and told him, ‘You have the Spirit of Africa in you.  As long as you stay on her soil you will be immortal.’

Two days later the tribe he was with were attacked, and he was Turned by Anok Sabe.
