Again choosing 1 out of the Aesthetics was tough! But this one I really like the details on this particular one.

New Characters that are Invading!
Here’s a list of new characters that are invading storyline.
This is Matthew Thompson, who was just to be a simple Chippy *hahahaha* who now owns 4th Division that is a million dollar international construction company. Which came in handy when dealing with storyline that needed things built, and trying to locate ‘random chosen ones’. He knows where bodies are buried, ended up hoarding secrets, and really he’s just a simple chippy.
You have been introduced to him a couple of times so he’s already snuck into storyline.
His story will come out at a later date as it ties to a whole larger arc type of stories. And seriously at this moment we are working on trying to get Family finished.
The rest of the new guys weaseling in are a mix bunch – some you’ve met,while others raided and demanding their story now.
Sylum Trivia: October 2023
Question: Well this is going to be an interesting one. There is no question!!?? Instead send me top 5 favorite characters and I’ll pick a few of them for snippets. As I’m down to 5 need to get way behind again! 😀
Sylum Inspiration: Hannibal King
Sylum: Hunter
The King family had a small farm just outside Lawrence, Kansas. His father died when he was barely twelve, leaving Hannibal with his mother to run the farm. It wasn’t a life he wanted, but he wouldn’t leave his mom.
When the war broke out, he stayed put despite the fact he wanted to fight for the Union. He had never liked slavery, seeing some of the horror of it first hand, and even worse he despised traitors and as far as he was concerned the Confederates were traitors.
His mother begged him not to go, that she needed him there at the farm. And also pointed out the fighting between the sections was bad enough at home. So he stayed and worked to protect not only his mother’s farm, but those around him.
He watched in horror as Quantrill destroyed the town and killing all men of every age. The only reason he had survived, was because a young black man had tossed him into a hay pile and ended up taking the shot meant for him. The Raider shot at him, wounding him in the shoulder and leg, he played dead until they Raiders left the area.
Hannibal crawled out of the hay pile to find a young man with long hair, help the black man up, telling him they would get help from Lucinda. He was happy to see that he was okay, later learning that the long haired man was James Hickok, Lucinda’s brother. He had always like the Hickok’s, the woman had been good to his mother.
He recovered from his wounds, and fought more battles to protect the area. When the war ended, he felt a sense of relief, only to tragically lose his mother a few years later.
Hannibal headed West, drifting from town to town, his skills with a gun improving over time. He found himself facing off with some cattle rustlers, protecting the small ranches that were trying to survived. He confronted them, and they attacked, and the only difference was they got back up after Hannibal shot them. Hannibal wasn’t sure if he was going to get out of the situation alive, and as he moved towards the back door he ran into another man. Surprised to see a well armed black man, he paused and watched as he took on the rustles, who turned to dust after their head was taken clean off.
That was new.
Afterwards Hannibal demanded to know what the hell was going on. Eric Brooks explained to him about Vampires and that he Hunted them. Hannibal just took it at face value and ended up travelling with the Hunter to hunt down the rest of the Rogues. During a Hunt, when Hannibal was mortally wounded, there was no question. Eric Turned him.

Sylum Charity: Breast Cancer Research Foundation
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness. I know many on this group have been touched by the impact of Breast Cancer.
This month we’re showcasing Breast Cancer Research Foundation:
At BCRF, we believe in the power of proof. Just as science is built upon evidence, we expect our research to deliver results. We invest your donations in ideas that will turn into action. To us, progress means making discoveries in the lab that will have a meaningful impact on breast cancer patients today as well as tomorrow.
Since 1993—and because of your generosity—BCRF-supported investigators have been deeply involved in every major advance in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. Your support has funded more than 17 million hours of research, bringing us all closer to prevention and cure.
Please make a donation – what they’ve accomplished in learning about cancer and how to treat it has been exceptional.
I’m dedicating this month’s charity donations to Janelle – who we last earlier this year to Breast Cancer.

Sylum Inspiration: Ethan Hunt
Sanctuary: Lead Hunter
Ethan grew up during the American Civil War, and had heard the stories of his Uncle who fought gallantly during the war, and then disappeared into the Far East. Never to be seen again.
He followed in his Uncle’s footsteps and joined the Army. He was recruited by James Phelps out of the Army and into the Military Intelligence Division.
Ethan was good at espionage. He was fast on his feet and thought three steps ahead of everyone else. James used him for many operations through Europe, including to help steal top secrets from Intelligence sources in Britain.
It was at during one of these missions, that Ethan began to realize Phelps was playing a double sided game. When he confronted the man, he found himself in a far worse situation.
World Octopus Day!
Octopus are beautiful magnificent smatter than you can imagine creatures!
And there’s always my favorite gif of all …
Characters that Invaded & Never LEFT!!
I think we can all agree that this is the main invader! Who showed up as a side character, who was just going to be a Hunter for Lealta *hahahahaha*
Next minute we know he’s got his own damn story, infiltrated a half dozen threads, and inserted himself promptly in the middle of Sylum and has never left.
He also stole the heart of the audience.
Let’s face it we all love Ernesto, and the Pope that comes with him.
Now for other invaders!
