Character Introduction / Vampire Council0

Sylum Inspiration: Sean Cassidy

Vampire Council: Member

Sean doesn’t talk too much about his childhood.  He will talk relunctantly about his parents, state they loved him but didn’t know what to do with him.

His mutation came during puberty but he was able to hide it through school. It wasn’t until Charles showed up (ironically while he was on a date … yes a date that went bad but a date none the less) that he realized he could do more with his life.

He liked the school, and was eager to help learn more about his mutation and what he could to help.

He was confused when Alex disappeared for a while, but when Alex returned he sat him down with the Professor and told him about Vampires and Mates.

Sean needed some time to think about everything, went for a small road trip and when he returned wanted to date Alex.

Six months later he was Turned.

Sylum Information: Mutants

I’m sure many of you are you curious on how we’re pulling off two different X-Men universes.

Dude it’s Sylum – of course we’re going to blend the two, plus add in elements from the original comics, because that is what we do.

  • Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) has been a Vampire for a while, and wasn’t shot in a beach in Cuba.
  • Max Eishenart (Ian McKellan) was a victim to the camps, and met Charles in Israel, they are still very old friends who don’t quite see the world in the same way.
  • Charles Deacon (James McAvoy) is a young man who is was changed by That Night, and his life is changed again by meeting Erik Lehnsherr.
  • Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender … fucking bastard who snuck his way in more times than I care to admit!) was tossed onto the streets when he was young because of his Mutation, and built a friendship with Charles Deacon.

We’re mixing Mutants from both universes.

From the X-Men: First Class series: Alex Summers, Sean Cassidy, and Armando – along with Emma Frost and Azazel, have been or will be introduced.

From the X-Men original series: Storm, Scott Summers and Jean Gray have already be introduced.  And we’ll be introducing Bobby and Kitty.

We’ve also tossed in Gambit, Sabertooth, and in time will showcase both versions of Hank.

In case you’re wondering – Mystique will only be the original version (I’m sorry but Mystique isn’t the good guy no matter how hard the new series made her out to be).

As for Wolverine – as Hugh Jackman is ageless so is our Logan.  Though you’ve already met him … Lycan is way older than anyone expected, and his not quite a Mutant, Human or Vampire – instead a mix match of all three … as his is Mate Lyca.

The Mutant storyline is developing, and will seep into more stories as we go.  Evolution is still the big introduction, the one we’ll be working off from here on out.

Sylum Teaser: The Russian Spy

This is still set to come out during 7 Days – *crosses finger RL cooperates*

***

“So what’s the plan?”  Shep asked as he glanced at Brass.

“There is only one way to deal with an unruly Pirate Captain.”  Brass looked around the precinct, noticing that it was mostly cleared out.  

He glanced back at Shep, who gave him a wicked smirk.

“I’m not stupid, not matter what most think of me.” He motioned upwards where the higher ranking members of the NOPD lived. “I had Captain Dent clear out the floor for a departmental meeting.  This way, we won’t be conspicuous when dragging him out of his office, down the hall, out the door, and stuffing him into the trunk.”

“I was going to let him ride in the backseat, but trunk works.”

And without hesitation, Brass stalked across the room and kicked the door open. “Hi Honey.”

Character Introduction / Vampire Council2

Sylum Inspiration: Alex Summers

Vampire Council: Member

Alex was the first born son of Christopher and Katherine Summers.  He was a typical kid growing up after the war, and only started getting in trouble when he was a teenager.

It was then his powers started to be showcased, to the point when he did end up in jail he requested solitary confinement.

This is when he met Charles Xavier, he had come to offer him a new life at his new school for the gifted.  Alex desperate for anything to help him with his powers agreed.

He ended up helping Charles build the school, and set up security for it.  He wasn’t sure about teaching, but figured he would give it a try … if the Professor thought he could.

When Charles told him about Vampires, he wasn’t nearly as shocked, after all he shoots plasma beams out of his chest.

A few years later, he timidly asked Charles about being Turned, after all he would need someone around to help.

Sylum Information: The Navigators

The Navigators

One of the ten races.  There home planet was destroyed, due to brothers fighting over who controlled the seas.  Their battle came to earth, and a few of the inhabitants with them.

***

“The Navigators.  Of them you are also aware.  Masters of the water and the wind.  They live on, and in, the seas.”

Warrick grinned. “Yeah, we know them too.”

Kenway snorted. “Davy fucking Jones.” He looked like he was about to be sick. “Sonofabitch.”

“And Blackbeard,” Nicolaus concluded.

“Brothers too, whose fight destroyed their own world.  They took refuge here,” Defensor explained.  “Though they seem unlikely to tell you much of their history without persuasion.”

“And they’ve been fucking with us royally ever since they turned up.”  Kenway waved a hand as though he could somehow dismiss all of it.

***

We added more of the Navigators story in the POTC Series.  The 4th story that is in the early stages of being worked on, will showcase more of Blackbeard and his relationship with Davy Jones.
