Evolution – Intro to Characters: Part 2

Evolution has been a long sometimes painful experience.  It pulls together storylines that had been laid down in previous Arcs and sets up storyline for future Arcs.  It also introduces many characters from other clans, with their own stories, plus reveals new characters being brought into the series.

Since not everyone is familiar with every fandom that has been ever created and found it’s way into Sylum *grins*.  I thought it would be good to give a face to some of the new Characters. 

Now first off remember there is a SYLUM WIKI – learn to live it, love it, USE it! Most of the characters in Evolution are in the Wiki – not all of them have full bios yet (I’m working on it… there are A LOT of characters).  But there are a few that haven’t been uploaded yet and won’t until after Evolution is posted.

Founding of Camelot Clan

Happy May Day!

Today we Celebrate the Founding of Camelot Clan – 658 AD

 

tintagel

 

Camelot’s first home was Tintagel Castle on the coastline of Cornwall, England.

tintagel-n-cottages-063

 

It wasn’t until it started to decay and fall into the sea, that they moved to St. Michael’s Mount, Marazion – Cornwall, England in the 1300’s.

harbour-main-banner

St. Michael’s Mount was perfect for Camelot due to the built in security.  The castle sits on an Island, and is not easily accessed.

If the Tide is in, the castle is only accessible by boat.  If the tide is out, there is a stone walkway that allows visitors to access the island.

Since St. Michael’s Mount is considered a Historical Landmark – visitors are welcome in the summer months.

Though if you’re trying to get to see Hugh – the staff may not know who you’re referring to.

Discussion Thursday: Filming Your Favorite Sylum Moments

Discussion Thursday: Favorite Moments

 

kara__s_evil_bunnies

 

 

Last week was a more intense discussion – I figured this week we can have something a bit more lighthearted.

Family has just been Re-Posted *pokes* if you haven’t re-read it yet – Go Now!!!

Evolution is in the final stages of editing looking for Posting starting May 15th.

So question to everyone out there is: Your favorite director told you that they will film one scene from Family.  Which scene would you pick?  And Why? Curiously which director and how would he film it?  Or how would you film it?

Curious minds want to know.

Wiki – Sylum Canon Stories

The Sylum Canon Stories List has been updated!

Everything you see on this list is Sylum Canon.

Many of you will notice that certain stories aren’t listed, this is due to the fact of Major Storyline Changes that have made the story Non-Canon.

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 Advent: 2012 / Sylum Events / Sylum Information2

Sylum Update

Sylum Advent is fast approaching.  Fast.

*eyes fics that need to be done*

So with that in mine I figured it was time to do an update of where things are.

Evolution is on it’s final Chapter. *woohoo* So far the Arc looks to be surpassing 400 + pages.  It’s got some great new characters, wraps up some storyline, and sets whole new ones.  This one has been long in coming mainly to do with RL and it being a bitch.  But now that I’m close to the end I really like how it turned out.

Damn Italian – you’ve probably heard this curse a few times.  Well it started off with Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons…. then worked it’s way from there.  These two stories plus the next Fast Furious Story that Gil is working on – is soon to be debuted.  The post-production on these guys are taking longer than anticipated but they are coming.  And I will say you’re in for a treat.  Demons and Angels will introduce whole new characters and clans, while its counter part Roads Untraveled will continue with the story and bring in variety of characters and histories.   The next Fast/Furious will bring the gang closer as they pursuit an enemy.

All three of these are tied together – which is the beauty of Sylum.  The stories interconnect.  For this particular group – to understand Roads Untraveled you have to read Demons and Angels.  And if you want to know what some of the F/F Guys are discussing in their fic – you must read Demons and Angels.  Plus all three of these tie into major storyline down the road – some of which will come out in Advent.

Ah Advent.

It’s that time of year.

Lots of good things heading your way.  Next installment of The Fisherman.  The circumstance behind Jim Longworth’s turning.  New H50 Fic.  An introduction to the Annoying Englishman.  Then there’s the Frenchman who snuck into storyline.  More stories about Border, Tallikut, and Serenity Clans.

So as you can see many good things to look forward to!

Quick Note: During Advent we post links to the Advent Calender on the list – this year we’ll also be posting them here.  We’re prepping to make this blog the main source of information for Sylum so if you haven’t please click the subscribe button on your left.

Thanks!!

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?

Sylum Question and Answer: #18

Q: 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?

 

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.
