Sylum Con / Sylum Information9

Poll: Sylum Con?

It was brought up to my attention as next year is the 15th Anniversary, that a Sylum Con would be a fun way to celebrate.

If we have one it will be in Los Angeles, likely towards the end of summer/fall 2019.  We’ll need at least 20 people interested, and by interested I mean truly plan to go – not just oh sounds like fun but can’t really make it.  There will be a Con Fee to cover expenses for conference rooms, events, etc.  At this early in the game we’re not sure what that will be, but it would likely start at $100.

As Cons like these are a lot of work, I’m starting this early!  Please fill out the poll below to showcase if you’re truly interested.

Character Introduction / Medjai Clan1

Sylum Inspiration: Steve Trevor

Medjai: Member

 

There isn’t much information on Steve’s childhood.  He’s from the United States, and was raised on a farm.  He was always looking for something, and ended up volunteering to work intelligence during the Great War.

Come to find out he was a really good spy.

While trying to find out what General Ludendorff and his pet scientist Isabel Maru were conducting, he discovered they had invented a new version of Mustard Gas.  He stole her notebook, and fled.  During the flight away from the Ottoman Empire, he got caught in a windstorm crashing him just off a Greek Island.

He discovered he was on Themyscira, and had met an Angel.

He told them about the war to end all wars, and how if he didn’t get the notebook back, millions more would die.  He hadn’t expected Diana to come with him.

Taking her back to London was strange, but he admired how she handled all the strange things, though he still wasn’t sure about the ‘Asgardian’ worlds.  She was determined to find General Lundendorff and stop the war.

Steve watched as she took on shockingly Sir Patrick Morgan, but knew it was her fight.  He had to stop the plane from crashing into London with enough Mustard Gas to take out the city.  He  handed her his father’s watch, told her he loved her … ‘I can save the Day, you can save the world.’

He regretted not having enough time with her.

As he sat in the pilot’s seat he took a few moments to hold onto his memories of Diana, before pulling the gun and aiming it at the canisters … just as he fired he startled when ice began to move across the window.

He woke up freezing.

And in the desert.

Steve stared at a boy … who looked just like him. He introduced himself as Jack Frost and he had been so excited to see someone who finally looked like him.

Heneru had sat him down to explain about Vampires, and that if he wanted to stay with his Amazon, he would need to be Turned.

Steven never doubted for a second, he wanted a life with Diana.

Sylum Information: The Secret Service

 

We had always contemplated bring in Ron Butterfield from West Wing, but at first couldn’t quite figure exactly how.  Then it hit us, to actually take him back to the beginning of the Secret Service.

Okay history time.  As I’ve been doing a lot of research into the Secret Service, this ended up playing directly into Ron’s history.

The Secret Service didn’t exist July 1865 after Lincoln was Assassinated, it was realized that there needed to be a group of people who were dedicating in protecting the President.  Before hand there was the Pinkerton Agency that conducted investigations.

In the history of the Department, they has never been enough money, staff or resources.  It’s almost been seen as ‘oh yes them we forgot about them’.  The Secret Service is supposed to be non-partisan and do their job despite the politics.  There are infamous stories relating back to some of the things they’ve seen and done.

So it worked for Sylum to move Ron back to the days before the Secret Service, and into the makings of what the Secret Service has become today.

Afternoon Fic1

Afternoon Fic: Cherik AU – Timestamp #1

So this is Timestamp #1 to the Cherik AU that I’ve been posting for Afternoon Fics.

There is second Timestamp in the works.

Once it’s finished and cleaned up – I’ll post the full fic (this time with a title on the Afternoon Fic Page)

Then start working on the sequel – cause we all know I can’t just write one!

***

Timestamp #1:

The Brotherhood

Erik cringed slightly, as Azazael landed them in the small abandoned warehouse, a state over from Charles’ fledgling school. It was his way of making sure nothing would link back to him and the kids.

Who knew that their first students would be the very ones they recruited.

Sylum Information2

Character Answers: Dean Winchester (Take 2)

 

*Sighs*

Can’t believe we missed an important question for Dean. *click to read previous interview*

*Searches Manor, only to find him back in the kitchen eating Pie where we found him the first time.*

*Slides across from him*

Dean: Didn’t I already speak to you.

Interviewer: Yeah, well one of the questions that was supposed to be in the last interview got misplaced, so here I am again.

Dean: *eats his pie* So what is it? My favorite sexual position?  Boxer or Briefs? What do I find romantic? Do I feel guilty for fucking my brother?

Interviewer: Well if you’re volunteering ….

Dean: *evil sly grin*

Sam: DEAN!

Interviewer: *startles and looks up at Sam wondering where he came from*  Or we could just stick to the questions.

Dean: *shrugs and finishes off his pie*

Interviewer: So how does it feel now to have so many fathers?

Dean: *sets fork down and pushes away plate*  It’s weird.  I mean dad was and will always be dad.  He was a good dad, despite what Sam says.  Yeah he wasn’t PTA, take your kid to work, or baseball game on Saturday type of dad.  But he kept us safe.

Interviewer: And Clay?

Dean: Well that’s just weird.  I mean he looks just like dad.  I could get my head around Bobbie, he was like another parent while growing up.  And looking back I can see him trying to be the dad we needed, when John wasn’t around.  So finding out he was actually my dad in a past life, is kinda cool.  But Clay, well it’s hard to get my head around – I mean I look like his kid, and he looks like my dad.  Knowing how I .. his son died it is the stuff of nightmares.

*Sam came in and sat down next to Dean*

The talking French thing is annoying yet cool.  And he’s a nice guy.  His Mates are nice, Jensen sends me birthday cards so that’s kinda cool.

Interviewer: And Van Helsing.

Dean: *rolls his eyes* It’s like dad by default.  He’s Mated to John so it’s like having two dads and the fact they are both my ‘dads’.  Van Helsing is cool, the ferret is awesome.  Over all we get along.

Interviewer: So you’re good with all the dads?

Dean: *shrugs* yeah it’s nice to talk to someone else sometimes.  And Nico is a good dad-in-law so that’s good.

Interviewer: And your favorite?

Dean: *snickers* Grandpa Eddie though never tell him I said that.

Character Introduction / Sylum Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Ron Butterfield

Sylum: Member

 

Ron grew up in New York, his grandfather an immigrant who worked long hours to make sure his son had a better life.  Ron’s father worked just as hard, leading to Ron being able to get an education and work for the government.

He became a member of the Pinkerton Agency which was the early stages of the Secret Service.  Devastated at the loss of Abraham Lincoln he was determined to change how protection details worked for the President.

As he had started investigating exactly what happened that night, he found small discrepancies that led him to Sylum Manor, two years after the President had died – only to find Mr. Lincoln.  He demanded information, sat quietly and listened to everything not only Lincoln had told him, but also General Meridius.

He nodded, then left.

Six months later he returned, stating that if he was going to make sure another President didn’t die on his watch he needed to be Turned.  He gave Abraham a pointed look and said.  “Well Mr. President I suggest you make sure no one suffers your fate.”

Sylum Information: Night at the Museum

 

Night at the Museum is actually a fun movie.  Plus it has the benefit of having Pierefrancesco Favino in it.

We’ve actually used a few characters from this movie: Ahkmenrah and Larry Daley. Plus used the images for historical characters: Sacagawea and Teddy Roosevelt.

We’re not having the ability to ‘bring the museum to life’ but we will say the Tablet of Ahkmenrah is very important in the Sylum Universe, and there is a reason Imhotep and Blackwood want it.

If you haven’t seen the movie, I suggest you do.

Information on the Movie

Information on the American Museum of Natural History

Added bonus!  One of my Afternoon Fics: Museum of Interest was a fusion of Night at the Museum and Person of Interest.

Fashion Style

We have a lot fashion conscious Vampires in the Clans.  Some run actual Fashion Houses, Jewelry Designs, and Lingerie Companies.

Some haven’t quite got out of their period style clothing, while some have embraced the Steampunk Style perfectly.

And some just like their comfy clothes.

So are you trendy with fashions? Wear what is comfortable? Who gives a flying fuck what other people think I have my own style?
