We’ve had a lot of natural disasters and events.
So I’m sending a call out to the clan to check in, let us know you’re okay.
Sylum Inspiration: Jason Doyle
Border: Hunter
Jason Doyle was born in 1802 to Pamela Winthrop and Sean Doyle, in Indiana. When he was twelve, a man named Chris Larabee arrived in town and became a farmhand on his parents’ farm. When he was nineteen, Doyle found out by accident that Larabee was a Vampire, and became a Chosen One for him. At the age of 31, after both his parents passed, he asked Chris to Turn him, because he was all the family Jason had left.

“I won’t insult you by asking how you’re doing.” Nico settled himself against the opposite railing.
“I feel like I’m being pulled apart.” Will ran a hand over his face. “I have moments I’m perfectly find, usually while I’m fighting or too busy to think of anything else. Other moments I don’t think I can survive.”
“We’ll get Sparrow back.”
“I know. Even if I have to find Davy Jones and roast him over a hot pit, until he lets me into his damn locker.” Will gave him a sadistic smirk. “By the way did you know he has a kid!?”
Nico had no doubt Will would carry out his threat, and he didn’t blame him. Hedgehurst doesn’t exist anymore, so he understood better than most. He startled at the idea of Davy Jones having a child only to roll his eyes and groan.
“Jack Frost. That was what he had meant about making sure dad didn’t do anything stupid.”
“You know him … it?” Will asked with a sense of childlike curiosity. The kid had made him smile and feel hope for the first time in weeks. He wouldn’t be able to thank him enough for that.
“He’s a Sprite.”
“As in the myths? Like Sirens?”
“He said the Sirens were mermaids.”
Will stared for a moment, and then shrugged. “I rescued Elizabeth from undead pirates and my Mate is in Davy Jones’ Locker, who I might add looks like a walking squid. So you know Sprites and Mermaids … sure why not.”
“And how do you feel about Elizabeth?” Nico needed to know, especially as they had a long journey ahead.
“The Pirate in me gets it. The Vampire in me wants her dead. Most of the time the Pirate is winning.”
“So we’ll keep Tony on her as a guard.” It was good to hear Will’s chuckle. “What’s the next part of the plan?”
“Get Jack.” He straightened up, grabbing the map.

Sylum Inspiration: Thomas Anderson
Border Clan: Lead Hunter
Thomas Anderson was born in 1890 to John and Michelle Anderson.
He grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and lost his parents to a house fire in 1895 while he was off visiting relatives. His uncle, unable to care for him along with his own seven children, sent him to live with his grandparents in London.
He enlisted in the military in 1914 and was part of the African theatre in World War I. During these skirmishes, he befriended Morpheus, who Turned him when he was mortally wounded.

Conservations In Real Time:

Their relationship starts with a professional offer of assistance and through instant messaging, texting and phone calls they invade each others’ lonely and yet busy days, learning about themselves and slowly falling in love as they discover they both need something from the other until they finally get a meeting face to face and can get up close and personal.
