Character Introduction: The Twins

A few weeks ago there was a passing mention of the fact we’ve updated and changed ‘The Twins’.   Their story needed some serious adjusting to fit with the new changes with in Sylum.  While adjusting their stories, it was obvious everything had to be re-worked.

Introducing:

Lily Jupiter

Laurie Jupiter

Malin-Akerman

 

 

Turn Date: 1875 AD

Sire: Richard Riddick

Lily & Laurie are Mates

***

They lost their father when they were four years old.  They don’t remember much, but knew their mom cried a lot, until Riddick came into their lives and helped where he could.

They knew something happened to their Uncle Riddick, he was gruffer and more reserved after the nice blonde man had died.

He came in and out of their lives, always making sure mom and them were taken care of.  After mom died, he stayed in New York intent to find them good husbands.  They disagreed.

He took them back to New Orleans and handed them over to Queen Moussette so they could finish their education and be proper ladies.  He had no idea she was also teaching them how to fight, having brought in a warrior he saw roaming New Orleans, who only talked to Nico.

They finally approached him and informed they both wanted to be Turned.

He really couldn’t say no.

Character Introduction: Ironhide Too

Part of building the Sylum Universe is also building the locations.

For example Sylum Manor.

We’ve been working on designing what the grounds look like, the different rooms, outer buildings, etc.  To make sure when we say Nico is going down to the Stables to see the horses … he always goes in the same direction.

Speaking of horses.

Today’s Character Introduction is Ironhide Too.  You will be introduced to him in the upcoming 10th Anniversary Edition.

Ironhide Too comes from a strong line of Percheon Horses.

His namesake and great great great ….. great great great grandfather the original Ironhide was found by Ezio while liberating Rome in the 1500’s.  Ironhide was decked out in armor and war gear, giving him his name.  He also kicked a Templar into a wall, gaining Ezio’s love and devotion.

Ironhide Too – is one from a rare pair of twins.

He was sent to Nico as a gift, a reminder of his time with Ezio liberating Rome.

Character Introduction: Robin Longstride

Robin_Longstride-300x266

Camelot/Sylum: Member

Name: Robin Longstride

Turn Date: 1148 AD

Sire: Nicolaus Meridius

Mate: Sir Degore (aka The Spirit)

***

Robin doesn’t remember much of his childhood. He remembers his dad having strong hands, and working as a stone mason.

He spent most of his life in the army. His natural skills with a bow and arrow had him moving up the ranks as an Archer.

As the crusades moved on he began to loose his faith. And when he was abandoned by his superiors leaving him and a few friends alone on the battlefield at Damascus he lost it completely.

He fought with his friends, until he was the last one standing. Praying for the final blow to end his life, he closed his eyes in anticipation of going home.

He woke up in a filthy jail cell.

Robin could hear someone in the cell next to him, and soon the two talked and became friends. Hearing the other prisoner say the Rosary daily helped restore his faith.

He could hear defeat in his friends voice, and knew now was the time to escape. The theory being escape or die trying.

They got out of the prison and onto the streets of Damascus. Soon they were surrounded, and ready to die with a sword in their hand, when men wearing black robes swarmed the area. He was pulled away when one bent over his friend, Antonio Crisafi, and begged him to let him save him.

Robin watched in horror, shock as the man grew fangs and bit Tony. He struggled against the one who held him, only to be told he was safe and then promptly blacked out.

Robin woke up in a comfortable bed, he got up and searched out those who helped, to find the dark haired man who bit Tony. He introduced himself as Nicolaus, then explained what happened.

He demanded to be Turned. No way was Tony going to survive without him.

Robin has dual memberships between Sylum and Camelot.  This is rare between the Clans, though many Vampires have ties to other Clans, the ones that swear loyalty to two Clan Leaders are not as well known.

Basically Robin has sworn loyalty to Nico and Arthur and if they call him he will be duty bond to answer.  If both need him, he would discuss with the other Clan Leader where he is needed most.

Nicky Stokes vs Nicolaus Meridius

As I’m working on CSI Stories that will lead up to the 10th Anniversary of Clan War – Nico and Warrick have become a pain in my ass.

The demanding sons of bitches have changed and added storyline in their favor (Speed is still trying to figure out how that happened – since Clan War started because of him), and they added additional characters.

Jim Brass I’m pointedly looking at you.

Who doesn’t look very repentant.

So while working on old school, future storylines have started to form.  Nico has decided he doesn’t want to continue to be a stay at home grandpa. Now I’ll be evil and let y’all wonder what he’s going to do with his life after Evolution *cackles*.

But I will be nice and show you the two gifs that inspired the movement from Nicky Stokes to Nicolaus Meridius.

Despite the Sylum implications – I have to say Nicky has come a long way in CSI.

 

Wiki – General Update

The Sylum Wiki will always be a work in progress.  At the moment there are two major things going on that will make the wiki more useful along with more information.

The Sylum Wiki Editors are slowly working their way through each Clan to either edit already existing bios, and fill in blank bios.  This is not going to happen overnight.  Hell it’s not going to happen next week, next month, maybe even up to next year.   But it will be worked on an announcements will be made as we go.

There have been many requests over the years about which actors have a variety of characters within Sylum.  Inspired by a dedicated Fan who put together a spreadsheet of all the actors/characters – we came up with a way to showcase this information on the wiki.

– At the bottom of each page there is a list of Categories (Sylum Index, Sylum Clan, Hunter – etc) we’ve added a new Category the actor’s name.  When you click it – it will lead you to a page that will have all the characters that this actor represents.  Example: Ben Wade – scroll to the bottom and you’ll see the Category: Russell Crowe.

– To see a listing of Actors/Actresses there is a link on the sidebar of the wiki called: Actors/Actresses – click the link to get an idea of how this will develop over time.

This will also take some time to be fully incorporated into the Wiki.  But as we updated/edit bios – the actors names will be added.
