Q:  As you can see most of my question relate to how in my imagination more characters could exist in sylum universe.  Could the Hunger Games characters like President Snow or Coin possibly exist? They would make some awesome villains and what if they were soul mates but hated each other?  Instead of a dystopian future, sometime in the past the games could have been this weird mesh like gladiator games slash the sacrifices from minotaur’s myth, kids from different city states.

Q: Any chances of seeing characters from Game of Thrones?  Some of them from the deserts parts of the show could hail from clans in Africa or the Middle East. I always had the most fun reading through the characters pages from sylum’s wiki even those I had not known from any of the story lines and how the vampires interconnect with each others!

A: I’m answering these together for a reason.  Neither one of these will be making an appearance in Sylum.  The characters and storylines do not fit inside the universe we’re creating.  Add on the way the authors feel about fanfiction especially Martin, it is best to leave these series alone.  It’s also the reason we have nothing from Anne Rice and Laura Hamilton.

Q: In the movie Argo we see Rory Cochrane, who from sylum is he, Speed?  Kafele? Yevgeny? Or none of the above?

A: Lee Schatz is a real person, who is still alive. So we won’t be adding his character or have a ‘Rory’ character play him.  The events surrounding Argo is likely to play in the background of storylines in Sylum, due to the fact it’s a historical event.  We try hard to keep these events relevant and shown in the stories to indicate the world around the Vampire Clans.

Q: Hypothetical, if the technology from Nolan’s Inception movie were possible, would they work on vampires? We have the stargate, and the transformers so it would not be beyond the advancements in this beautiful ‘verse for the machine and drugs to exist.  Now I would think the sedation part would work on the vampire physiology if you can apply it to the unsuspecting victim, but the extraction part and being undetected in one’s mind, I don’t know and there is also the problem that most likely who did the job would have to be human, what do you think? How hilarious would it be if you try to extract someone and they don’t know the victim was a vampire to begin with?

A: As much as we would’ve loved to work with the concept, we decided that it just wasn’t something that would work.  We had some interesting ideas and concepts but over all it just didn’t fit.  We also had to take into account that Inception is Nolan’s pet project.  There are a few directors, writers, etc that can get a little testy over the use of their materials.  We figured best to leave this idea on the drawing board.

Q: What’s the connection between Dean Winchester and Horatio’s daughter?

A: Most think that there is this huge vast connection between the two. In reality it’s the fact that after the hell Dean goes through in Balthazar’s hand, Elizabeth is that first innocent soul that touches him.  In all the chaos of the rescue, and then the Manor – it’s a simple baby’s laugh that gets his attention.    It’s two souls who have seen some serious shit in their lives and past lives that connect on a most innocent level.

It’s later that their own personal connections to Ripper, that will tie them even closer together.

Q: Franklin and Bash is a comedy series about two unconventional lawyers and their shenanigans to win their cases. If they ever met Harvey Specter how do you think he would react?  The duo would probably be the kind of lawyers Tony Stark would appreciate considering they have no qualms with throwing parties in their house like frat boys, and the next day put on a stand someone that will start a striptease!

A: Harvey Specter would kill them, dump their bodies in the river and then go have lunch at his favorite steakhouse.  Actually let me rephrase that – he would hire someone to kill them, dump their bodies in the river, while he had lunch at his favorite steakhouse.  Probably try to get them to take out Gil while he was at it.

And honestly no, they wouldn’t be the type of lawyers Tony Stark would appreciate.  When it would come to lawyers who work for him or his company he’s going to have someone who would shred anyone for thinking of suing him or his company.   That by the time he got done with them, they would be a whimpering mass of goo on the floor.  Someone like Harvey Specter … matter of fact he is Tony Stark’s lawyer.

Q: Is there going to be more on The Losers / Rizzoli and Isles/ The Vatician? I.e. More back story?

A: Yes.  There is more story in the works for this particular storyline.  The first main story in it, is to see how Jane, Maura and Joey got together and how it all ties into Joey’s connection to Kiernan and the MacManus’.  After that their will be stories to explore Jane dealing with her past life, and how Cougar and Ernesto fit into their lives.

Q: Shogun Clan covers a large area, I assume a great part of the Asia continent, but the clan itself is not particularly large. With  future stories and with the revamping of sylum wiki will there be more character from that part of the world introduced?

A: With the reconstruction of the wiki, it’s let us again weed out characters that weren’t working and putting in new ones that make more sense for the area and Clan.  Shogun itself will likely never be very large, just by the dynamic of the Clan and it’s structure.  Though as we’ve revamped (No pun intended *smirks*) we’ve brought in more substantial characters that you will start to see interact more with the Sylum Universe in whole.  We’re basically starting to show how all the Clans work, with in themselves and within the larger Vampire Community.

Also as we develop the bios, storylines and ideas do emerge from them, giving us ideas to fit them into either larger works in process or their own stories.  Actually I personally have at least 3-4 stories that will predominantly by Shogun stories.

Q: Still from the vid coming soon I also noted the presence of Victor Henricksen when will we see him, now that Balthazar bit the dust, which Rogue is going to come up and torment the Winchester family?  I got to say from supernatural world my favorites female characters were Bela Talbot and on the later seasons Charlie Bradbury.

A: Yes at some point Victor Henricksen will enter into Sylum.  As there is already a 3rd Winchester story in the early stages of development, I can’t tell you exactly when he will show up.  As for a new Rogue will you’ll just have to wait and see on that one.  I will say there is a very very low chance any other ‘Supernatural’ characters will be showing up in Sylum.

Q: There is a new movie hitting the theaters Kingsman the Secret Service, is awesome, with a modern day round table spies. We have Merlin, Galahad, Arthur (Michael Caine) and Lancelot. Best of all we have amazing actions scenes with Colin Firth, would Camelot clan have a hand in its creation?

A: Kingsman storyline won’t be entering Sylum.  The concept doesn’t work, mainly because we already have the Merlin, Galahad, Arthur and Lancelot – and they are all busy running Clans and working on the Council.

As for the ‘spy network’ idea.

The Vampire Council has a Network of Spies ran by Lamont, these work throughout all the Clans.  Every Clan Leader has their own network of spies, hunters and the such that let them know what’s going on in their territory.

Extra Question:

Q: How much do you head desk and how do you and the others communicate and get things hashed out with the “Bobs”?

A: We have hired The Negotiator (aka General Kenobi) he’s been working with them to hash out storyline and intro to new characters.  At the moment there’s been indepth conversations with Raptors and rumors have it that Alien is in discussion over new characters to be introduced.
