Sylum Vault (Reminder)

Don’t worry we’re not physically moving again!  Actually the good news is that the project room is finally up and running, which means we’re exploring new things for the Vault.  The biggest one, we’re moving away from Etsy and getting our own website!  This is of course a slow process that will take time (don’t worry we’ll keep you updated on all the shenigans).  

So at the moment we’re running a BIG SALE at Etsy!  50% off Everything!  Been wanting some new jewelry, fun trinkets, or cards – now is the time to get them!   This sale will last through to the end of the year, but we can’t guarantee all items will be available, so get them while you can.

(This time I remembered to post the link!)

Character Introduction / Sylum Clan1

Sylum Inspiration: Templeton Peck

Sylum: Member

 

Left on the doorstep of Sacred Heart Orphanage in Los Angeles at the age of three, he didn’t even remember his true name. He took the name Templeton Peck because it sounded important and respectful. He learned from an early age that he had a beautiful smile and used it to get what he needed and wanted. There were very few people in the world he respected; the one man he looked to as a father figure was Father O’Malley at the Orphanage.

Father O’Malley pushed for Templeton to enter collage afraid he would be drafted into the War. Templeton enrolled at USC for the fall. During that summer, he worked his craft to earn enough to buy a ring for his high school sweetheart. When he showed up at her parents’ home to pick her up, he was informed that she had left, leaving him only a letter.

He joined the Army the next day.

His test results had the Army putting him in Officer Candidate School (OCS). The skills he showed during training led to his recruitment into Special Forces. It wasn’t long before he was shipped over to Vietnam holding the rank of Lieutenant, where he was recruited into a SOG Unit. After a failed mission, his unit was dismantled and he was placed under the command of Major Hannibal King. He became fast friends with the small unit, especially their pilot Humphrey Marrion Murdock.

On a routine mission they were ambushed and captured by the Vietcong and sent to a POW Camp. For reasons Templeton couldn’t explain, he was singled out of the unit to be interrogated. Each day it got worse and harder for him to hold on. After another grueling session he was thrown back into the cell. He knew he wasn’t going to live to see the morning. All he wanted was to say goodbye to Murdock and tell him he was sorry for leaving him again.

When Hannibal gave him another option, Templeton Peck took it and never looked back.

Camelot Clan / Character Introduction0

Sylum Inspiration: Paul Mallory

 

Camelot: Member

 

Paul’s family was originally from Poland.  His grandmother, fled with her husband and children, to England in 1936.  She talks about the regret she felt leaving behind her sister, her husband, and son, all who had perished at Auschwitz.

He was in college when he was recruited by James Bond into MI:6.  His gifts in languages, and the ability to crack any safe gave him a skill set they could use.  He rose up the ranks in MI:6 and is now a Double O Agent.

(Dilios Note: Not that I’m supposed to know that)

He became friends with Charles Evan, who at the time was a Veterinarian student, needing a place to stay.  Paul always gone, offered his back bedroom, to the student and over time the two became friends, despite the arguments over the menagerie of animals in the house.

He ended up making friends with Hannibal King, the two building an unusual friendship.

While on a Mission he was severely wounded and he still wasn’t sure if he gave consent to be Turned, but in the end he accepted his fate as one of M’s boys.

Sylum Information2

Clan Location: Camelot

Camelot Clan

 

I know a few people were likely wondering how Camelot Clan’s location ended up in the SouthWest of England.

Tintagel is the birthplace of Arthur Pendragon, so it was only fitting their first home was at the famous location.  Unfortunately, the area is eroding into the sea, so they had to find a new location, which how they ended up at St. Michael’s Mount.

In non Sylum world this is actually a private residence, mixed in as a Heritage Site.  So yes you can tour it, but only the gardens and older sections.  So everything we’ve described about the place is real.

Though St. Michael’s Mount is the main home, they do have other clan locations in Scotland & Ireland, especially as a few members stay in those areas full time.   They also have a variety of business and residences in London.

Sylum Advent: 2021 / Sylum Events2

Sylum Advent 2021: Check In

 

For those participating in Advent do you want a #channel on the Discord to discuss story/art, to ask me any needed questions, or just a place to scream into the void?

Also – I have a spreadsheet that I keep track of blog posts so I know what I’m doing *hahaha*

Fixed it up for the rest of the year. 

Seeing how close Advent was made me *flail*

And if this seems like Deja vu – I have no idea what you’re talking about!
