So the results are in!
And this year’s winner is Tony!
Two things you get this day.
A small snippet! And a surprise after the snippet.
Sylum Inspiration: Jane Carter
Ehre/Weisheit: Hunter
Jane grew up in Seattle, Washington. Her father was a chef who owned a small restaurant, while her mother worked the front of the house. It was the local bbq place that everyone went to, she has found memories of coming home after school to a warm meal, doing her homework listening to the hustle and bustle of the community.
She went to school intent to become a lawyer, in her 3rd year of school she was called by the cops that someone had robbed the restaurant, and her parents had been killed. She knew her parents would not want her to quit school, but she changed focus and ended up working for the FBI. A few years in, she found herself stagnated and wasn’t sure what to do with her life, when she was approached by IMF.
It was her fifth mission she met Trevor Hanaway. It took three more missions before the two became lovers. They learned quickly to put their personal relationship to the side while working.
The one time it affected her work, was when he was shot by Sabine Moreau, then Turned by Benji. For the rest of the mission she had a hard time focusing, but determined to finish the job.
She ended up recouping in Mumbai from a bullet wound by the end of the mission. Hanaway appeared and told her they were Mates, she wasn’t that shocked as Ethan had hinted at it a few times.
Sylum Update: Twitter
I mentioned this a few months back that we’ll be shutting down our Twitter account.
We can no longer support or be a part of the whole shitshow that Twitter has become.
So this is the only warning you’ll get. If you follow us on Twitter to get updates, this would be the time to join the blog and get the posts via email.
The only social media platform we’re still posting to is Tumblr – if you have Tumblr you can follow me: Here
(Please Note: At the moment jetpack is being twitchy with the social posting. We’re supposed to get 30 free posts a month – yet here we are in January and it’s still not posting to any social media accounts. We’re working to figure this out. So seriously guys – subscribe to the blog! It will be easier)
We’ll be shutting down the Twitter account on: January 31st

Sylum Advent 2022: Reaction Post
And that’s a wrap for Sylum Advent 2022!
Please let the artist and writers know how much your appreciated their work.
Sylum Inspiration: Mateo Galan
Integridad: Hunter
(Figured would introduce the new guys!)
Mateo grew up in a small village outside Murcia. His family had always supported the Assassins, by providing a safe place, food, healing or anything else they needed. When he was six years old an Assassin had come into the village, wounded looking for a place to rest and hide. The neighbor family had taken him in, Mateo had watched from his own home fascinated by the man.
Days later the Templars rode into the town searching for the Assassin. When they couldn’t find him, they destroyed the village, killing everyone. Mateo survived because his mother covered him with her own body. Aguilar and Máximo found him, and took him back to Madrid.
He attached himself to Aguilar pretty fast, hiding behind the imposing man. As a kid he hadn’t understood why Máximo had disappeared, it wasn’t until after he trained to be a Master Assassin, and learned about Vampires he understood.
Mateo took a vow of silence after everything he had experienced. The only time he speaks is when he renews his vow of the Creed. One of the other time he spoke was when he requested to be Turned.

Sylum Inspiration: Lord Mark Wessex
Camelot: Member
(You were just introduced to him in Mission Impossible: Bonds)
(And since this was supposed to post on the 26th – getting an extra one today!!)
Mark Wessex was the first born and only son born to the Wessex family. He was raised to take over the Wessex title and land, highly educated, and skilled at diplomacy.
He married as it was expected. The two cared for each other, and became good friends, but were never a love match. It took time before they announced they were expecting a child, but tragedy struck and he lost both of them in child birth. By this time he had also lost his parents and was fully Lord Wessex.
He had no intention of marrying again, instead focused on what he could do to make the people who relied on him have a better life. His thoughts, ideas was radical at the time (ironically still are in some areas).
Mark doesn’t talk about his Turning, that it was offered and he took the opportunity.
