Sylum 10th Anniversary: Q&A Session

A few weeks ago we put out to everyone to ask us a series of questions about Sylum.  It could be about characters, story lines, how we do what we do, or even about the Bobs.  I have to say we received over 40 Questions.

47 to be exact.

Now I’m not going to answer every single one of these in one sitting.  So over the next, well 47 weeks or so, we’ll be posting at least one question and answer.

After the question is answered, feel free to comment or ask follow up questions on the post.

Shall we begin?

Q: Is there any other vampire who has just as many, or more, known “fathers” than Dean Winchester (I believe he has 4 so far… or is it 5, I lost count)?

A: Dean has … hold on let me count … John, Bobby, Clay and Van Helsing – so 4.  To answer the question – yes there is someone who has more.  He just doesn’t know it yet.

10th Anniversary Up-date

As you know we’ve been working on this for a while, and believe me it will be worth the wait!!

So yes, this year you will get the 10th Anniversary Edition.

The goal is still set, but please realize that we do have lives outside of Sylum and sometimes they suck and we can’t put 100% of time into where we want to.

In the meantime.

We’re still taking questions!  We’ve had some good questions, ideas, and comments.  Keep sending them.

Throwback Thursday: Sylum Question/Answer #18

question-mark

 

This Post was from October 5, 2012 – Sylum Question/Answer #18

Question: In Family, Aubrey’s spirit tells Nick that one day he’ll show up on his doorstep. When will Aubrey and Maturin return? Will they be characters we recognize?

Answer: They will return.  If they don’t Speed might actually kill me.  Yes they will be recognized. Nick is very much expecting that knock on the door.

Sylum Question and Answer: #21

The last one!! There were some very interesting questions and I hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I did…

 

Q: Way back in Family, when Sam & Dean were at the Manor after rescuing Dean, Sam was in the garden or something, and had a conversation with Nico about learning the history/beliefs of the Roman gods. Nico said something about that everyone else had shied away from them, so he was excited that Sam wanted to know. So are we going to see that?

 

For the characters that are Roman like Van Helsing and Maximus (who both have their own altars) they haven’t shied away from their Religion.

 

In modern terms the faith surrounding the Roman and Greek Gods are taught as myths and considered Paganism.  So for a modern man like Sam to actually be interested in studying the ways of worship around the Roman Gods would be unique and would thrill Nick especially as it’s his oldest daughter returned.

 

Though if you ask Romulus he’ll tell you he still is a God and should be worshipped daily.  Which of course Remus does 😀 – see future Smut coming his Advent.

 

Overtime we will see Sam learning the Roman Traditions, and we’ll also see him learning other religions from a variety of Clan Members, especially when he meets … well you’ll just have to wait and see that when the story comes out ‘Evil Grin’.

 

Religion is actually a very important part in Sylum.  There are 7000+ History in the series and religion has played a major role.  And there is a wide range of Religions through out Sylum: Egyptian to Muslim to Buddhist to Hindu to Jewish to Catholic to Anglican to Pagan to Christian to Native American and then some 😀

 

Just in the Meridius line you have Nick and Maximus that follow the Roman Gods, Aubrey was Church of England, Cort is a Jesuit Priest, Richie is Jewish, Grant believes in a God but not a religion, Galahad is Catholic … So a very wide range just there.

 

Let alone Mates who have different religions Beuwlf follows the Norse Gods while his Mate is Muslim.  Tony is Catholic while Jethro has walked away from the church.

 

So seeing someone like Sam, especially the way he was raised, wanting to learn the Roman Gods, and yet still understand other religions will be a nice way to show how Vampires that range from 7000+ in years to a couple of years old – deal with religion and society.

Sylum Question and Answer: #21

Q: Do you regret any vampires that have been dusted (besides Diego) and wish you could go back at fix it?

 

The only one that I would want to undust is Lennie.  But his death still works in the series so it’s the one I kept.

 

 

And we’re coming down to the wire… There’s only one more after this!

Sylum Question and Answer: #19

Q: So is Eliot going to be as growly and grumpy as in the show? (Also, is he going to know about stuff like Area 52 like when he was teasing Parker, or was he *just* being “Big Brother” and teasing Parker?) 😀

 

The Leverage team isn’t the Leverage team from the show.  How all of them come together is different.  You may notice that Nate and Sophie are already around.

 

Two others will be making an appearance in Evolution (if you watched the vid you know one of them :D)

 

Bob 2 says – Eliot will know more things than he knows he knows.  Y’know?

Sylum Question and Answer: #18

Q: In Family, Aubrey’s spirit tells Nick that one day he’ll show up on his doorstep. When will Aubrey and Maturin return? Will they be characters we recognize?

 

They will return.  If they don’t Speed might actually kill me.  Yes they will be recognized. Nick is very much expecting that knock on the door.

Sylum Question and Answer: #16

Q: How long have mutants been around? Have we seen any characters in stories that have already been written who are mutants? Can mutants become vampires? Who knows mutants exist?

 

More of the history of Mutants is a big major storyline for Evolution.  Which yes is almost done – as I’m typing this I’m working on the final chapter.   As Sylum develops so will all the characters including Mutants.

 

Bob 2 says – yes you’ve met some, no I’m not telling you who, and there will always be those who know the truth, it’s just what they do with that knowledge that counts.

Sylum Question and Answer: #15

Q: When will Bruce Banner show up? How does he become the big green rage monster? Is it like in the movies, or something else?

 

Bruce Banner shows up in Evolution.  And like everything in Sylum we’ll be taking a little bit of this a little bit of that toss it into the blender and hit puree.

 

Never expect to see the character/storyline exactly as the movie/tv show/book/comic depicts.
