Welcome to Sylum Clan

Hello!  Welcome to Sylum!

Recently we’ve had newbies and some poor souls that have stumbled onto Sylum with no idea what the crazy is all about.  I figured it was time to do a ‘Sticky Post‘ to help all those who wander into the Manor, navigate around this vast universe.

So here we go.

***

If you’re new here, welcome!!  You’ve just been recommended to this vast multi-story universe, and you likely have no idea where to go or what to do.

Well first off.

Fact: Vampires exists.

Second.

Welcome to Sylum Clan.

A multi-layered, character driven storyverse.

Inspiration for the first story that effectively launched this concept, was the death of Timothy ‘Speed’ Speedle from the Television Series CSI: Miami.

His implausible and much mourned demise, led to the premise that you can’t kill someone if they’re already dead.

This quite literally immortalized him, birthing the first story Kiss of Death, and the rest just kept on growing, sprawling  across more than 7,000 years of unexpected history, and on into the future.

A few things you should know, so you can’t say we didn’t warn you *grins*.  There are 3 Major Story Arcs, and hundreds of Supplemental Stories.  These stories expand across 13 Clans, 7 Kin Clans, and showcase over 1200 Characters.

We just hit our 15th Anniversary in 2020!

Border Clan / Character Introduction0

Sylum Inspiration: David Crockett

Border: Member

 

David Stern Crockett was the fifth child born to John and Rebecca Crockett on August 17, 1786 in modern day Greene County, Tennessee. Four more children would come after him, giving him eight siblings. His family, who descended from a captain in the Royal Guard of France’s King Louis XIV, fled first to Ireland, and then later on to America, where his great-grandfather was born in New Rochelle in 1709. His name comes from his father’s father, who was killed by Native Americans.

During the 1790s his family moved to Morristown, Tennessee, where they owned a tavern. In 1794, in an attempt to show his father how much he was ready for a rifle, he began hunting with his brothers, learning to use the guns. A little while later, when his father began trading goods for an education for David, David immediately dropped out after being embarrassed by a bully. When his father found out, he was livid with David, who ran away and spent the next few years exploring Tennessee, which is how he got much of his frontier training.

He returns home when he’s fifteen, and his family is happy to see him. A couple of years later, he became contracted to marry a woman named Margaret Elder, who decided she didn’t want to marry him (he was 19 at this time). A year later he married Mary ‘Polly’ Finley and had two children with her, and after she died, he married Elizabeth Patton, with whom he had three children.

In 1813 he was part of the Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Riflemen and eventually was made a Lieutenant Colonel in the Tennessee Militia (1818).

In early 1821, Crockett was in Washington, DC, just visiting the area and getting a feel for the political climate, already thinking of a run for Congressman in a few years, where he came face to face with Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Santa Anna recognized him as a recently returned enemy and shot him and left him for dead. Diego de la Vega, however, sees Santa Anna commit this crime and knowing who the man was, rushed to Crockett’s side.

Knowing Crockett was important enough to Santa Anna for him to risk exposure by killing him in the open, Diego offers Crockett the chance to be Turned, for vengeance and for his family, and Crockett consents.

Sylum Advent 2024: Day Twenty-One

Sylum Aesthetic: Murder Birds – Part 6

Artist: Bj Jones

Artist Note: This series is going to take some explaining.  So read this before you click the read more.  A long time ago – before 2024 became the year from hell (Side note: taibhrigh we have 10 days).  I sent out a request to send in some of the most bad ass characters y’all could think of.  We got some great suggestions, plus we had a few on our own list.   The reason for this is for future storyline (at the moment the foundation of it is being laid down).  So these set of aesthetics and video will be showcasing these character – who got the nickname Murder Birds by me – which totally means that will be their nickname in Sylum.  Hints of their storyline and where they come from are in the Aesthetics

Okay now for the fun part – I’m not going to tell you who these characters are.  Some of them you will recognize, some you may not, some are very old school, some are very recent.   So for each aesthetic – I challenge you to see if you can name off the character if not the actor.  Now remember the character could be removed from the movie that is showcased (we just need the image) and they maybe exactly the character from the show.  *cackles evily*

Enjoy!

Character Introduction / Serenity Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: John Henry

Serenity: Member

 

Not much is known about John Henry – especially considering most of his life and history is considered folklore and myth.

For more information contact Vampire Council Library

John is very happy to sit down with you to talk about many things, but not always about where he came from. What he’s told a few is that his parents were slaves, which he was born as one. His size and bulk had him working in the fields even as a child.

After the Civil War and being freed he made his way west finding work here and there. Again his size and bulk got him a job as a steel driver, he could swing the hammer fast and with accuracy.

He met Paul Bunyan when the small group was making their way to Alaska. He was surprised that the small group was so mixed and seemed very friendly with each other. He found himself talking to them each night after his shift, enjoying their stories and laughter.

When he was challenged to go against the steam powered hammer, he took it with no problems. He beat the machine, but the damage was done.

Paul gave him another chance at life.
