Sylum Inspiration: Mushu

Mushu is a different dragon that Draco or Tiny Terror.   He has the ability to talk like Draco, but not nearly as big.  Mushu is about 8ft long, and stands about 3 ft high on his four legs.  He can if concentrates sit up, balancing on his back legs which makes him about 6ft high.  He can wind himself around trees, and as the ability to camouflage.  He can also mimic statues, making him a good spy.

No one knows how old Mushu is, just one day he showed up to Katsumoto, and ended up art of the clan. When Nathan appeared, Mushu declared that Nathan was his human and he takes care of him.

There are running bets in Shogun on when Nathan will be able to walk across the large open field without tripping over Mushu, who slides in and around his feet while he does it.   There has only been one moment in history where it almost happened.  Nathan was recovering from the concentration camp and was stalking across the field – everyone watched holding their breath as he was only a few feet from the forest line – when he went down.

Katsumoto had found his Mate curled up with Mushu.

He helped Nathan deal with his ordeal.  It’s the only reason he keeps the snarky annoying dragon around.

Hydration Day

Staying hydrated is extremely important!

What cool water bottles do you have? 

I actually have *counts on two hands* a lot.   One at my desk at home, desk at work, personal one outside work, the one for my car ….

Sylum Inspiration: Niccolò Polo

Shogun: Member

 

Leaving Niccolò’s infant son Marco behind, Niccolò and Maffeo left Venice for Constantinople, where they resided for several years. The two brothers lived in the Venetian quarter of Constantinople, where they enjoyed diplomatic immunity, political chances and tax relief because of their country’s role in establishing the Latin Empire in the Fourth Crusade of 1204. However, the family judged the political situation of the city precarious, so they decided to transfer their business northeast to Soldaia, a city in Crimea, and left Constantinople in 1259 or 1260. Their decision proved wise. Constantinople was recaptured in 1261 by Michael Palaeologus, the ruler of the Empire of Nicaea, who promptly burned and razed the Venetian quarter and reestablished the Byzantine Empire. Captured Venetian citizens were blinded, while many of those who managed to escape perished aboard overloaded refugee ships fleeing to other Venetian colonies in the Aegean Sea.

While in Constantinople the two brothers were invited to Masyaf to hear the stories of Altaïr and Darim.

When Masyaf was attacked by Mongols and Altaïr ended up Turning Niccolò and then helped the explorers escape by using the Apple to fend off the attackers. He gave Niccolò some of his books and sent them to Lealta.
