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.

Now for a Spring Napz!

It’s been a rough few weeks.  So I’m doing a random posts of pretties to make up for it.

The Centurion is actually a good movie, so we do recommend watching it.  You’ll be surprised who’s in the film!

It was obvious through the whole film, that Arianne and Quintus were Mates, though working the what, whens and hows were typical Bob being an asshole.

So all these years later, they still live in the same area, working the land and staying out of everyone’s way. He teasingly calls Arianne his Witch, she just rolls her eyes.

Oh and typical Bob … who Quintus really is … is a whole different story *cackles*

So first off … no we don’t have Kong.

Raptors – down the line, but not King Kong.

So why the image?

With the recent additions added to the wiki – four of them were from the King Kong: Skull Island.  In typical Sylum fashion we twisted the story around to fit our needs.

Still not having Kong.

Why?

Well there is a reason for that.  Let me tell you a tale about the monkey that wouldn’t die.

This was a while back, while I was still with my ex.  I had come home with a 102 temperature (I’m not even going to mention the fact I had to go to work sick for some stupid ‘team bonding’ experience) so you can imagine I’m not in the mood.  All I wanted was my bed.

But was that in my future.

NO!

Ex dragged me out to see King Kong … the remake with Jack Black.  I was tired, sick and just plain miserable – this movie is 3 hours long.  All my fever addled mind could focus on was the simple fact – when the monkey dies the movie is over and I can go home.

So through the whole movie – yes all 3 hours – I just kept repeating in my head – ‘Die Monkey Die’.

Needless to say I do not have fond memories of that film.

When we recently watched Skull Island, I was seriously disappointed that I didn’t get Samuel L. Jackson in all his crazed glory screaming ‘Die Monkey Die’ it was ripe for it – it needed it … such a potential moment lost.

And this is why we won’t have Kong – unless I purposely build a story – just so I can kill the Monkey.

One of the main goals we have at Sylum is to add more woman, persons of color, and native/aborigines characters.  Especially historical figures  around the world that may not be known to a lot of people.

Pocahontas is likely a very well known Native American figure in history.

Her story has a lot of myth inside the reality, good and bad.  We had debated in adding her, due to the myths/disneyfied versions of who she was.  But well we don’t shy from controversy … so she was added and Mated to Immutef – most would think that was an odd chose, until you start to see how that storyline progresses.

Amber Midthunder is the Native American Actress we use to play the role in Sylum.

Person of Interest Characters are not new in Sylum.  Last year or was it the year before that we introduced John and Harold.  The bastards re worked their story so many times it became a nightmare *glares at the two*.

We also introduced Carter and Zoe during Advent, and in time we’ll be introducing Lionel.

But this week we showcased Megan Tillman.

I’m sure many are wondering why such a small side character that we see once, ended up as a character in Sylum.  Megan Tillman was such a real character, she deserved more storyline.  Her pain of losing her sister, determination to go after the rapist, and then realization of this wasn’t who she was and handed the keys to John – is such an emotional scene, we knew she had to be part of sylum.

She’s also going to give House a run for his money (he’ll adore her because she won’t put  up with his shit).

And Harold needs a doctor on staff at all times.

As we’ve been highlighting the characters we brought in during Advent, and prepping to showcase a new set coming soon – we’ve decided to introduce some of the new pets that will also have a new home.

The picture above is Cockatoo … yes it’s a Cockatoo.  M who owns this little guy, decided no one would expect Cockatoo of being a spy if it’s name is Cockatoo.

For the rest of the introductions they’ll be under a cut.  Why?  Because I know some people really do not like reptiles or snakes.  Do Not click on the ‘Read More’ link if you do not want to see snakes or reptiles!!

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.

Private Practice

Grey’s Anatomy

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.
