State of the Clan: 2024

It’s 2024 – I’m not even sure how we’re four years into a decade that has been chaotic at best.

Actually 2023 was a very stressful year for me.  There was the new job, that took a lot of my time away!  It’s a great job but can be very demanding, add in the commute.  I’ve had less time to focus on Sylum.   I was able to pull together a few fun items,  Dragons (during Seven Days) and aesthetics and story for Advent.   So was happy with being able to do that, because at one point I wasn’t sure where the year had gone.  One moment it was January next I was dealing with Advent! 

Now before we get into the actual State of the Clan, a few things.

Sylum is and forever will be a safe place!

We work hard to make this place as stress free as possible.  With our goal is to bring a smile and fun to your inbox each day.

Character Introduction / Sylum Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Patrick Jane

Sylum: Member

 

Patrick Jane was raised by a swindler father who included his young son in his carnival psychic act, touting Jane as “the boy wonder”.

He married Angela Ruskin, who was from a similar background, her family being members of a traveling carnival and “carnival royalty”. The couple had a daughter, Charlotte. They left the Carnival, determined to have a better life. Jane himself became a celebrity, making a very comfortable living working as a psychic, and he lived in comfortable celebrity until he criticized and openly mocked the serial killer Red John in a televised interview.

In retribution Red John killed Jane’s wife and daughter, leaving Patrick Jane a changed man.
