Sylum Inspiration: New Characters – Zoe/Joss

Tallikut: Member

At one time Zoe lived in a nice house in the suburbs. Her father was a politician and Party man, who ended up in a scandal, taking the fall on his sword to save the Party. For weeks, the press was camped outside their house, until a man showed up said a few words and they all left.

Zoe knew right then what she wanted to do with her life.

She spent the rest of her childhood and teenage years in a small apartment in Queens. She started fixing peoples problems in high school, then moved through college for a moment she contemplated a degree in Law but then figured she was better at fixing things outside the courtroom.

While working her way up, she discovered Vampires and their Clan system. She quickly hunted the daywalker down and befriended Blade. She learned all she could about the society, and when the time came she asked to be Turned.

Carter grew up in New York, and was always that person who was going to do something.  She ended up joining the Army, where she met Paul.  The two married and they had their son Taylor.   She ended up back in Afghanistan for a year, then moved to Iran.  She was a trained military interrogator, and had secured information that saved many lives.

Though she will tell you there are also regrets and lost lives she still deals with.

She returned to New York, and joined the NYPD.  Paul returned soon after, but was dealing with PTSD but refused to get treatment.  She refused to let him see their son, until he did.  He disappeared.

She worked up the ranks until she became a Detective in the Major Crimes Squad.

Then she met John Reese.  He had been attacked on the subway by known punk arms dealer.  He had got the best of them, she had tried to get his prints but nothing seemed to stick.  She searched for months, following the path of the ‘Man in the Suit’.

Her life changed when he saved her life, she began to lean towards helping him, instead of catching him.  When the CIA used her to betray him, she added the moment to her long list of regrets, but this time she decided to do something about it.

She started to help him with the cases, always curious of how he was getting the information, but figured it had something to do with his partner Harold Finch.

Her life changed again when she discovered they were Vampires.  After seeing John jump across a four lane highway to get to another building to save Finch, she couldn’t doubt the truth.  She also learned about Mates, and Fusco owed her $50 since she called Finch and Reese were lovers.

When John sat her down to explain more about Mates, she was confused until Zoe Morgan sat down next to him.  She was appreciative to Zoe for taking her time courting and answering her questions.  She finally sat down with her son … who told her to go for it.

Sylum Inspiration: New Characters – Carl/Jessica


Tallikut: Hunter

Carl grew up in New York, ended up running with the wrong crew found himself in jail.  It was during this time he discovered he had an unique gift.

His skin was impenetrable and had super strength.

He contemplated escaping Prison when a man in a wheel chair, along with a lawyer, Thomas MacLaughin, showed up to give him another option.

He was released on bail, later discovering the lawyer had got his prison time reduced and dropped.

Carl spent a year at Charles Xavier school, learning about Mutants.  And here he had thought the idiot Stillson was batshit.  He swore loyalty to the mountie, liking Benton instantly, then sent to New York to work with Cameron Poe.

He now works in New York, and is friends with Zoe and helps her out when she needs it.  His main contact with Tallikut is Claire, also coming into to her clinic if things get to rough.

It wasn’t until recently he met Jessica Jones, and discovered he’s her Mate.

They realized he can’t be Turned, but he is by her side – always.

***

Jessica’s family had been chosen ones, and had known Peter Parker for at least two generations.  They had moved to New York from Los Angeles a few years after she was born.  Jessica would tell you that she had the typical childhood, only with a Vampire Uncle.

And as a teenager she was a bit moody, but who wasn’t.

She lost her parents when she was sixteen.  The family was on a the way home from a trip to Disneyworld, when they were involved in a car accident.  She barely survived, waking up from a coma, months later.  It took her a year to get back into normal life.

In the meantime all her friends had moved on.

Zoe took her in, so she wouldn’t have to go to foster care, and let her finish highschool.  It sucked, but she made it through, graduating with honors.

She tried college for a few years, but ended up dropping out, wanting to be more like Aunt Zoe, who  smiled at her, and told her the city was only big enough for one of them.  Instead she ended up building a Private Investigator Business.  Using Zoe’s contacts, and with the help with ‘Slip’ who she found out later was Carl Lucas also known as Luke Cage.

It was years later when one of her cases went bad and she was shot in the middle of a bad situation.  She barely made it to Claire’s clinic, the Vampire nurse was ready to Turn her, but Peter, having heard about the shooting from Cage, showed up – she was her Uncle after all.

(Dilios Note: No one talks about the damage Cage did to the shooter)

Advent Posts: Update

 

We’ve noticed that the emails sent out for each of the posts, aren’t showing the full posts, or even a portion, just the Advent Banner.

This is do to the fact, we have the information for the story, and story itself organized via tabs.

We’ve changed the format for the rest of the Advent posts, hopefully it will show more of what that day represents and a ‘link’ to the post to read the story.

*fingers crossed*
