Nothing is True. Everything is Connected.
Sylum Clan

Sylum Inspiration: Siberius Vaako

Sanguen Vitae: Lead Hunter

Vaako was a dedicated Roman Soldier, who followed his General Marcus Antonius throughout his career, and even helped him get out of Rome and back to Egypt after Caesar was killed.  He stayed by his side, despite the need to smack the crap out of him.

When Marc was Turned and escorted out of Egypt.

He followed.

Once Marc was Mated.

He followed.

Until Marc finally got the idea and Turned him.

Sylum Information: Carol Hathaway

 

I’ve mentioned a few times over the past year, that while updating the Wiki and reworking Clan War we had decided to change a few things.

Besides Diego being saved, we also saved Carol.

I’m sure many were wondering why we didn’t Mate her with Doug Ross, as that was THE pairing in ER.  We thought about it, but also liked the idea of Carol being independent on her own, and Doug’s Sire, giving him a chance at a good life.

There will likely not be big grand stories about Doug or Carol in the Sylum series, instead more small moments in variety of stories to show who these guys are.

Sylum Reminder: Everything is Connected

Just wanted to put out a quick reminder to everyone.

Especially as we’re working on:

  • The new Sylum Archive which means edits and updates to exsiting stories as they are uploaded.
  • Seven Days of Summer is approaching (likely faster than any of us would like)
  • Fassbender Fortnight is in early preparation
  • Sylum Advent which is always lurking in the background
  • Major updates/changes to Border Clan Stories
  • And Clan War … *eyes it*

As stories are being written, edited, and updated – please remember a very important thing.

Nothing is True.  Everything is Connected.

What does that mean?

All these stories are connected.  All these stories ties back around to other stories.  I work with the writers, to discuss storylines and characters, so nothing is random.

If Alex Summers is mentioned in A Scribe’s Tale by Paula Cas – there’s a reason for it.  Not reading A Scribe’s Tale because ‘it’s not your fandom’ means you just missed a hint of other storyline.

Or if don’t read something based in a specific Clan or group of characters you will miss something that will pop up in a larger story arc.

Everything is Connected.

Sylum Inspiration: Carol Hathaway

Sylum: Member

After being Turned Carol moved into Wayne Manor to learn how to handle being a Vampire. Bruce taught her how to defend herself, he also told her that she had the soul of one of his daughters.

She continued with her education, and in 1941 graduated with a Nursing Degree. A few months later Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Without hesitation Carol signed to work for the Army Nurse Corps. She ended up on the Front Lines working within the ‘chain of evacuation’. She served under fire in the field and evacuation hospitals – along with hospital ships, flights and other medical transports.

It was here she met Doug Ross a doctor from Chicago, Illinois. The met on the front lines, trying to save as many as they could, working seamlessly. After the battle, Doug offered her a drink. The two ended up in a hot and heavy affair, able to keep it a secret from the superiors. She knew he wasn’t her Mate, but knew they had a connection.

She watched in horror as their Evacuation Hospital out tents were bombed. She knew Doug was in the tent along with at least five wounded soldiers. She ran for the destruction, tears in her eyes as she tried to get to him. She had to curtail her sense at the blood and destruction that was scattered over the area. She found Doug to the side, bleeding tremendously. She knelt down in the mud and blood and told him he was going to let her save him.

The two worked side by side through the war. In time Doug had found his way to Sanctuary Clan and Carol stayed in Los Angeles.

Bruce gave her free reign to operate the Medical Facility at the Studio, and in time Wayne Studios was considered one of the safest and heathliest studios. Carol branched out over the years, working to open clinics through Los Angeles, and encouraging woman to get an education. Bruce had introduced her toLucretia, both woman advocates from woman’s rights and reproductive health.

Carol having to disappear from Los Angeles for a while, moved down to New Orleans at the request of Nicolaus Valerius Meridius. He offered her backing to start opening clinics in the city, along with financial backing from Lucretia.  She worked with Dr. Janet Frasier and Gregory House to start a network for low income medical.

She was at the Manor when it was attacked by Richelieu, and helped protect her family.  She was devastated when Jack and Rose were killed in front of her, but the Rogues soon learned she wasn’t a pushover, having been trained by Ra’s Al Ghul.

When Hurricane Katrina hit, she refused to leave the area, finding her way to the Super-dome where she helped anyone she could from applying bandages, giving out medications, and easing peoples suffering.

Today she continues to work in New Orleans with her clinics.

Sylum Information: The Salvation of Diego

Zorro has been saved!

While working on the 10th Anniversary Clan War, there were a few things listed of changed wanted to make.  One of them was saving Diego.  He was too good of character to get rid of so soon.

So he was saved.

Though we had to shove him off to Integridad Kin Clan, until we could bring him back into storyline.

And he also got a name change, because we discovered the name we had for him – was actually a leader of a drug cartel … so yeah we figured it was a good idea to change it.

Random Sylum Post: Tut’s Jewelry

 

Since most of the characters in Sylum are older Vampires and have lived long rich lives, many of them have business and skill sets that they’ve developed over the years.

Tutankhamun is one of those type of characters.  He’s built a Worldwide reputation for his Men’s Jewelry line.

Above is his Jewelry Markers Mark.

Basically it says T Ankh with symbol of a Scarab to the god Khepri.

It’s his inside joke all his jewelry is made by Tutankhamun 🙂
