Sylum Inspiration: John Rhys

Sylum: Member

 

John Rhys was born in Abereiddy, Wales, to a fisherman family.  He was always on the edge of the society, not fitting in very well.  He fell in love with the landowners daughter, Mari.  She was forbidden to be with him, but it didn’t stop them from seeing each other.  When she discovered she was pregnant she ran away, finding herself in a Monastery seeking sanctuary, not soon after John found her.  He married her instantly, and the two stayed with the Monks, Mari cooking, while John helped with Hunting for food and taking care of the grounds.  Tragedy struck the small family, when Mari died in childbirth, leaving John with a son.  He knew he wasn’t in a position to take care of the young child, so left him with the Fr. Dewey and set out to find work.

As he made his way towards a larger city, he came across a young woman being chased by a group of men.  Without thinking he pulled his sword and confronted the attackers, defeating all of them.  He discovered the young girl was Gwenhwyfar, the daughter to King Leodegrance. He escorted her back to her castle, and her father promptly awarded (though John wondered if it was punishment) the position of Head Guard.

Over the years, John became the big brother to Gwen, and was one of the few people she trusted.   She was also one of the few that new of his son, and made sure money was sent to the Monastery for his education.

When she was set to marry King Arthur of Britain, John organized and guarded her wedding train, only to be betrayed from someone on the inside, leading to the train being attacked and Gwen being kidnapped.

John took down over half the raiders, and even with an arrow in his side traveled and fought with Arthur, Lancelot, and Galahad to get the future Queen back.  It was on the journey back, he finally fell to his wounds, and Nico refused to loose his first born child, Meridia.

Waffle Iron Day

 

Well first off – who has one?  

Do you use it? or is it on a shelf and only comes out on a special says?

Now for interesting history fact – Bill Bowerman was looking to lighten the running shoes so his runners could run faster.   He ended up inspired by his wife’s waffle maker, and made the waffle trainer running shoes … he went on to create Nike.

Character Introduction / Shogun Clan0

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.
