It’s National Bird Day – so it’s totally Nick’s Day!
*crosses self* that with 2024 behind us can focus on snippets and fun things for Sylum.
Who’s Who of the Murder Birds – Part 1
I’ll be doing a series of reveals of the Murder Birds! The hows, wheres, and whens are coming.
Top Right: Moses Ingram – Rev
Top Middle: Ralf Moeller – Hagen
Top Left: Richard Armitage – Guy
Bottom Right: Jenette Goldstein – Vasquez
Bottom Middle: Billy Zane – Kit
Bottom Left: Liam Neeson – Peyton
Reminder – the character you see, though distinct to a particular show may not be the story used as we stole the ‘actor/character’ and took them out of the confines of the story. For example Hagen does not know Maximus and not part of the Gladiator storyline.
Side Note: The picture of the bird – is actually a Murder Bird – it’s an Australian bird – the cassowary – that can actually kill and do damage to humans. It’s stated that it’s a direct descendent of the Velociraptor … so yes MURDER BIRD! 😀

Sylum Inspiration: Jacob Stone
Sanctuary: Member
Jacob Stone was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma. His father, grandfather, great grandfather were all oil riggers, and he had decided he would do something with his life. After his father died, he ended up staying in Oklahoma as an oil rigger, to take care of his siblings and mother. After his mother died, he made sure his sister and brother got through college and a life of their own.
His sister finally got him out of Oklahoma by putting in his application into NYU for Art History, a love he had since a child. He moved to New York, got his degree, got his Masters and then set to travel the world. He traveled through Europe, moving between museums and art galleries.
He ended up working at the Moulin Rouge on a special project. He had set up the nightclub’s first art gallery for Toulouse’s art of the Moulin Rouge. It was there he met Christian and learned about Vampires. In a week’s time he was wooed by the Vampire, and was ready to be Turned and Mated.
Only to have the past show back up in the form of The Duke.
Taking the strength from Satine, the soul he carried, he set out to save his future Mate.
After the death of The Duke, he finally got what he wanted: Christian.
