Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A

job-interview-questions-and-answers-660x330

 

Q: Are all the Jeffrey Dean Morgan characters meant to be descendants of Wenceslaus? They all seem more similar as a family line than the Meridii. Although the almost all see harder and perhaps more inflexible than the Good King is generally considered to have been.

A: Yes the JDM characters are descendants from Wenceslaus.   They divided into two lines, one ended up in America, the other stayed in Europe.  Clay is on the European side.  Bunyan – had 12 siblings so from those siblings came brothers Edward and Isaac Blake.  From Eddie is John Winchester leading to Sam & Dean.

Your right on the fact they are not quite like Wenceslaus, especially considering he’s a Saint.  Though Wenceslaus may seem quieter more docile, you mess with his Clan or his Mate, the family traits would emerge.

Eddie Blake is a creature of his own.  No one is quite sure what exactly happened there.

Q:  There’s a new show on Netflix called Marco Polo in which Pierfrancesco Favino play’s Marco father. The timeline fallows Genghis Khan grandson, Kublai Khan reign.  Is there any plans to incorporate some of the character’s from the show to the clans?

A: I still couldn’t believe I missed the fact Pierfrancesco was in a new show!!! Though I’m not sure if I should thank or hit you for introducing the series to us.  Because of that, yes you will be seeing these characters in the future.  Matter of fact we introduced Maffeo Polo a few weeks back as a Character Introduction.

And as a personal Sylum in joke.  If your an Assassins Creed fan you would know it’s Maffeo and Niccolo that take Altair’s codex pages and scatter them around.  It’s Ezio reading their accounts, where he learns the story of Altair.

Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A

questions_and_answers

 

Q: I know Tony Stark, Bruce Banner & Clint Barton exist somewhere in the Sylum Universe.  Will any other Avengers be making appearances or do they not even figure into Sylum anywhere?

A: Yes and No is the simplest answer.  In typical Sylum way: how you think it will be won’t necessarily will be how it is.  Wow that was cryptic.  So yes in some form you’ll see Steve Rogers, Thor, Nick Fury, Coulson, and Natasha, but not how you expect it.   We will say this – there won’t be any ‘The Avengers’ or ‘Shield’.

Q: Are you going to do anything for the UK dramas… Lewis / Death in Paradise / Foyles War? Is it possible to bring Morse back to life?

A: Funny you should mention that considering who’s bio I just finished last night *cough* Lewis *cough*.  Camelot actually showcases many UK shows and history.  And well as for Morse, how can you not have him.

Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A

job-interview-questions-and-answers-660x330

 

 

Q: Karl Urban is present in the various clans, will we be adding more of him from places as Almost Human, Judge Dredd or RED, which also has Bruce Willis another face that has popped up a few times in different clans.

A: There is no move to bring in his characters from either Almost Human or Judge Dredd.  There is story idea more like a lurking bunny for his character, William Cooper, in RED.  As we do have Frank Moses as a Council Spy – its likely at some point Cooper will show up.  When, where, how – Bob isn’t saying at the moment.

***

Q: 2015 Sylum Con Dates set yet?

A: There will be no Sylum Con this year.  Due to RL and also prepping and trying to get everything done for the 10th Anniversary there was no way we could take out the time to plan a con.

But!

There will be one in 2016.  It will be held in Los Angeles.  More information will be available later this year.

Remember if you have additional questions or just want to comment feel free to reply to this post!

Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A Session

A few weeks ago we put out to everyone to ask us a series of questions about Sylum.  It could be about characters, story lines, how we do what we do, or even about the Bobs.  I have to say we received over 40 Questions.

47 to be exact.

Now I’m not going to answer every single one of these in one sitting.  So over the next, well 47 weeks or so, we’ll be posting at least one question and answer.

After the question is answered, feel free to comment or ask follow up questions on the post.

Shall we begin?

Q: Is there any other vampire who has just as many, or more, known “fathers” than Dean Winchester (I believe he has 4 so far… or is it 5, I lost count)?

A: Dean has … hold on let me count … John, Bobby, Clay and Van Helsing – so 4.  To answer the question – yes there is someone who has more.  He just doesn’t know it yet.

10th Anniversary Up-date

As you know we’ve been working on this for a while, and believe me it will be worth the wait!!

So yes, this year you will get the 10th Anniversary Edition.

The goal is still set, but please realize that we do have lives outside of Sylum and sometimes they suck and we can’t put 100% of time into where we want to.

In the meantime.

We’re still taking questions!  We’ve had some good questions, ideas, and comments.  Keep sending them.

*Also if you can’t see the Contact Form – just reply to the post with your questions.

Throwback Thursday: Sylum Question/Answer #18

question-mark

 

This Post was from October 5, 2012 – Sylum Question/Answer #18

Question: In Family, Aubrey’s spirit tells Nick that one day he’ll show up on his doorstep. When will Aubrey and Maturin return? Will they be characters we recognize?

Answer: They will return.  If they don’t Speed might actually kill me.  Yes they will be recognized. Nick is very much expecting that knock on the door.

Sylum Question and Answer: #21

The last one!! There were some very interesting questions and I hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I did…

 

Q: Way back in Family, when Sam & Dean were at the Manor after rescuing Dean, Sam was in the garden or something, and had a conversation with Nico about learning the history/beliefs of the Roman gods. Nico said something about that everyone else had shied away from them, so he was excited that Sam wanted to know. So are we going to see that?

 

For the characters that are Roman like Van Helsing and Maximus (who both have their own altars) they haven’t shied away from their Religion.

 

In modern terms the faith surrounding the Roman and Greek Gods are taught as myths and considered Paganism.  So for a modern man like Sam to actually be interested in studying the ways of worship around the Roman Gods would be unique and would thrill Nick especially as it’s his oldest daughter returned.

 

Though if you ask Romulus he’ll tell you he still is a God and should be worshipped daily.  Which of course Remus does 😀 – see future Smut coming his Advent.

 

Overtime we will see Sam learning the Roman Traditions, and we’ll also see him learning other religions from a variety of Clan Members, especially when he meets … well you’ll just have to wait and see that when the story comes out ‘Evil Grin’.

 

Religion is actually a very important part in Sylum.  There are 7000+ History in the series and religion has played a major role.  And there is a wide range of Religions through out Sylum: Egyptian to Muslim to Buddhist to Hindu to Jewish to Catholic to Anglican to Pagan to Christian to Native American and then some 😀

 

Just in the Meridius line you have Nick and Maximus that follow the Roman Gods, Aubrey was Church of England, Cort is a Jesuit Priest, Richie is Jewish, Grant believes in a God but not a religion, Galahad is Catholic … So a very wide range just there.

 

Let alone Mates who have different religions Beuwlf follows the Norse Gods while his Mate is Muslim.  Tony is Catholic while Jethro has walked away from the church.

 

So seeing someone like Sam, especially the way he was raised, wanting to learn the Roman Gods, and yet still understand other religions will be a nice way to show how Vampires that range from 7000+ in years to a couple of years old – deal with religion and society.

Sylum Question and Answer: #21

Q: Do you regret any vampires that have been dusted (besides Diego) and wish you could go back at fix it?

 

The only one that I would want to undust is Lennie.  But his death still works in the series so it’s the one I kept.

 

 

And we’re coming down to the wire… There’s only one more after this!

Sylum Question and Answer: #19

Q: So is Eliot going to be as growly and grumpy as in the show? (Also, is he going to know about stuff like Area 52 like when he was teasing Parker, or was he *just* being “Big Brother” and teasing Parker?) 😀

 

The Leverage team isn’t the Leverage team from the show.  How all of them come together is different.  You may notice that Nate and Sophie are already around.

 

Two others will be making an appearance in Evolution (if you watched the vid you know one of them :D)

 

Bob 2 says – Eliot will know more things than he knows he knows.  Y’know?
