Character Introduction / Sylum Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Megan Tillman

Sylum: Member

 

Megan and her sister Gabrielle grew up in the suburbs of New York.  She adored her older sister, looked up to her in so many ways.  She felt helpless when her sister was raped, and  he got away with it, because it took Gabrielle two days to report it.

When her sister died on an overdose of drugs, she felt lost.

She went on, got her degree, became a doctor and found a job in New York working in the ER.  And then her life changed when she saw her sister’s rapist just order a coffee.

Megan will be the first to tell you, she wasn’t proud of her plans to kill him, but it had to be done.

Then she met John, who helped her see past her anger and hatred.  She gave him the keys to the van, and walked away.

A week later she found him in her ER, a small smile on his face.  He told her, that he had been arrested in Mexico on drug charges and will never see the light of day.

She went on with her life.   Until the fateful day, Harold called her and said John needed help.  She grabbed her gear and made her way to the safe house.  She tried to get past Harold to fix her patient, when he politely informed her John just needed the blood.

She learned about Vampires.

The next few days she was introduced to Zoe and Claire Temple.  She stayed as their Chosen Ones, making sure they had enough blood, or patch up wounds that needed more care.

Until finally she saw her purpose and sought out a Vampire Doctor … Gregory House was exactly everything she was warned about.  In time she figured the best option for her, was just to become a Vampire.

Sylum Information: Private Practice

 

Naomi Bennet was one of the characters suggested to us during our campaign to find more Woman and Poc characters.  I let the person who suggest them develop the characters, and storylines and looking forward to seeing where its going.

I admit I’ve never seen Private Practice or Grey’s Anatomy so I can’t tell you if it’s worth a trip to Netflix or now – for those of you who have, let us know in the comments.

Character Introduction / Ghost and Darkness0

Sylum Inspiration: Naomi Bennett

Ghost/Darkness: Member

 

Ask anyone who knows them and they will tell you that Naomi Bennett is the opposite of Addison Montgomery. Where Addison is that bright spark, Naomi is the quieter (and slightly more broody but she’s working on it) ember. She’s driven to succeed in the way that really focused people sometimes are: focused on the goal and not so great at some of the other things in life.

Naomi and Addison met in medical school and they became best friends. Where Addison is a rock star as a neonatal specialist, Naomi is the same as a fertility specialist, board-certified in reproductive endocrinology, obstetrics and gynecology.

In Naomi’s eyes, she’s done all the right things: gone to school, gotten a great career, married and had a daughter, named Maya. That’s why she’s broadsided when her husband, Sam, tells her he wants a divorce. When pressed for the reason why, he says he’s unhappy but also there’s no good reason beyond wanting to leave.

Addison walks back into Naomi’s life after a number of years looking for a change and wanting to have a baby. Although a baby is not in the cards, Naomi offers Addison the chance to join her practice, Oceanside Wellness Group, which Addison accepts.

There’s also another small wrinkle: the practice’s receptionist and midwife trainee, Dell Parker. Naomi tries to write off his feelings for her as a crush given their age difference. But there’s something about him that unnerves her in a way that she hadn’t expected. He also brings her cake which does nothing for her waistline.

When Maya becomes pregnant with a less than desirable boyfriend and Naomi loses it a little; (okay, she loses it a lot) Dell and Addison are there to talk her off the ledge.

Things go sideways when an accident puts both Dell and a laboring Maya in the hospital. Maya and her baby survive but Dell is down with a severe head injury that needs surgery, which is only stopped when Dr. Cooper Freedman comes forward and has to out Dell as a vampire to the rest of the practice.

When the dust settles, Dell takes Naomi aside and tells her everything.  He also tells her that she’s his mate.  That particular truth settles something inside of her and though she asks him for a little time to think about it, she already knows what her her heart says.

Sylum Information: The Martian (Book/Movie)

 

Chris Beck is a character we pulled from The Martian (mainly the movie).   Okay … we admit it – this is how we got Bucky without having Bucky :).

It also a way to build more storyline for the Stargate section of Sylum.  There is some changes in the works for that side of the storyline, just to bring everything in line with canon.

Not a lot.  But well Dan’el decided to change his background and that’s where we’re making some adjustments.

Now I haven’t read The Martian (it’s been downloaded onto my Kindle along with a lot of other books….) so this is going to be an adventure.

The Martin: Movie

And keep an eye on future stories where we’ll introduce Beck and give more background for Dan’el.
