Sylum Advent 2024: Day Four
Sylum Aesthetic: Murder Birds – Part 2
Artist: Bj Jones
Artist Note: This series is going to take some explaining. So read this before you click the read more. A long time ago – before 2024 became the year from hell (Side note: taibhrigh we have 26 days). I sent out a request to send in some of the most bad ass characters y’all could think of. We got some great suggestions, plus we had a few on our own list. The reason for this is for future storyline (at the moment the foundation of it is being laid down). So these set of aesthetics and video will be showcasing these character – who got the nickname Murder Birds by me – which totally means that will be their nickname in Sylum. Hints of their storyline and where they come from are in the Aesthetics
Okay now for the fun part – I’m not going to tell you who these characters are. Some of them you will recognize, some you may not, some are very old school, some are very recent. So for each aesthetic – I challenge you to see if you can name off the character if not the actor. Now remember the character could be removed from the movie that is showcased (we just need the image) and they maybe exactly the character from the show. *cackles evily*
Enjoy!
Sylum Advent 2024: Day Three
Aesthetic: Peter ‘Maverick’ Mitchell
Artist: Bj Jones
Artist Notes: This is a series for this advent series of the ‘Hunt’ family line
Sylum Inspiration: Laelius (Aka) Eliot Spencer
Sylum/Serenity: Hunter
Very little is known about Laelius’ early years. He rarely talks about his family, but when he does he has a soft spot for his mother and youngest sibling. Respect for his father, and only growls about his older sibling.
He was recruited, at least that is how he put it, into the dying/failing Roman Army. The lack of discipline made him cringe, and at the first opportunity he disappeared. Not sure what he was going to do with his life, he went to Rome looking for inspiration. Instead he found a kid who was trying to steal from a vendor. He rolled his eyes catching the kid easily, but when he turned his blue eyes on him, he knew he found his purpose.
From that moment he had become Aurelius’ protector/guardian. He made sure the kid stayed out of trouble, or got him out of it when he ignored him. There is still little known about these years, neither of them talk much about it, nor actually how they met Nicolaus Valerius Meridius.
Just that everything changed from that moment

Sylum Inspiration: Hetshepsu
Vampire Council: Legal Advisor
Hetshepsu is the fraternal twin of Shepsit Hemet Amun-Ra. A rare occurrence and considered a blessing to all. They were removed from the home, and taken to the city and raised in the Temple of Ra. Both equal in beauty, and admired by all.
Shepsit became a Priestess of Ra, while Hetshepsu was taken in by Ra’s Al Ghul and trained in the Courts. He married Al Ghul’s oldest daughter Talia, and had four children. He and his sister stayed extremely close, despite the fact she was isolated in the Temple. When he discovered she was pregnant, he confronted her on her stupidity. She assured him she was safe, and no one knew who the father was, and all assumed it was Ra.
Despite the fact he still didn’t like the situation he was devoted to his nephew Nekau, and was devastated when he was killed.
He watched in horror along with everyone else when Ra slit the young boy’s throat. He knew at that moment the war had begun. He made his way back to his home, to find his wife dying next to his children. A warrior leveled his sword against the youngest when Hetshepsu attacked. He disarmed and killed the guard, then scooped his child up and ran for his father-in-laws home. Ra’s Al Ghul pulled him off the street and hid him away from passing guards. They barely made it out of the city and towards the Medjai camp.
It was once they stopped he realized he had been wounded, collapsing into Ra’s Al Ghul’s arms, and he apologized for not saving Talia. Ra’s Al Ghul Turned him, later telling him his penance was to wait with him until their family returned home.
