Sylum Inspiration: Enki Sumer
Mod: Member
Enki isn’t a Vampire, nor is Human.
He’s a Navigator and from the same planet as Davy Jones and Blackbeard.
He was pulled into their war, when Blackbeard enslaved his mermaids. He was dragged to Earth, and severely wounded. He found a safe place, in the Northern Seas, specifically like to stay near Iceland and Norway.
He became more known to Vampires after he met Hiccup and Toothless. He ended up helping out Noromer, yet hasn’t told him quite yet. He has a soft spot for him, especially after he faced Davy Jones head on, and won (sort of).
He finally got his mermaids back, after Jack Sparrow tricked Blackbeard back into the locker, leaving them finally free of his influence.
To this day he still prefers the Northerns Seas. He stops by to see Gran, and talks to the Mariner a lot. He gets a kick out of Jack Frost, always had and is happy he has his ‘Bunny’.
Sylum Announcement: Old Archive
There was a reason we moved to the new archive a few years ago, because the old one was no longer supported and was on it’s way out.
I kept it open because some of the old stories were still on there, that weren’t going to be moved to the new archive. This included Family & Evolution.
Well it’s finally died. The link will not take you to it anymore.
Yes we are still working on Family. Honestly guys it’s been a round 4 years, and the last one and this year hasn’t been the greatest. We’re working on the edits, slowly but as said hasn’t been a good few years. So please be patient, but at this moment – Family & Evolution are no longer available.
If someone has a copy – you can ask for it.

A snippet of Speed’s Ramblings.
Sylum Inspiration: Callum Lynch
Camelot: Hunter
Callum and his twin brother Aguilar were born October 21st in the year of our lord 1460 AD and was in Masyaf.
They’re parents were Assassins, the little they knew of them, was that their father, Sebastiano was from Spain and their mother, Brigit, who was from Ireland. Their father was trained at Masyaf, who on a mission, fell in love with Brigit, brought her back and trained her. The two had been killed during the Spanish Inquisition, a year after the boys had been born. They ended up raised by the Assassin Order, and trained to follow in their parents footsteps.
When they set out on their own missions, Callum went to Ireland, while Aguilar went to Spain.
Callum kept a low profile, finding an a small farm owned by the Lynch family, they took him in, and became the son they never had. When they died he took over the farm, and used it as a hiding place and information stop.
During one of his own missions, he heard about Il Duce and the vendetta he seemed to be on. He made sure to casually meet him in the pub, only to discover his own mission.
The two became friends, and during a mission when they went after a corrupt Bishop, Callum ended up Turned.
Damn You Pedro Pascal!
And that’s all I have to say about that!
Actually the exact word I used started with an F …
