Hi everyone! I'm Brandy and I'm bringing in Cullen Rutherford from Dragon Age. His canon point is post-Trespasser, so if you'd like to avoid spoilers, please let me know so I can make sure to avoid them in tags to your character(s).

Cullen's spent most of his life as a soldier, so he's well versed in military matters and trained in weapons of all kinds, though he favors blades. Personality-wise, he's blunt and straightforward. He says what he's thinking, he has very little patience for diplomacy, and he can be short-tempered and irritable. Unless he's in a mood, he's generally polite, though not overly gregarious. He doesn't like to talk about himself or his past beyond cursory details. He's got PTSD, claustrophobia, and he's recovering from an addiction to a magical substance called lyrium, though he's unlikely to speak of any of that.

He's also going to have his mabari with him. It's a pretty big dog and it's very smart. It's also unfortunately named Pup, because Cullen isn't creative when it comes to naming things. (Someone please teach him how to name a dog.)

I can be reached at

romancandle, which anyone's welcome to friend, or via PMs to Cullen's journal. It's great to be here and I look forward to playing with everyone!

Hello! It's great to meet you. I'm afraid I'm only familiar with Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, but I very much enjoyed them, so I'm looking forward to getting to know Olivia! Tbh, the best thing about Cullen is the dog.

oh, not to worry! all you really need to know about olivia is that she has the self-esteem of an awkward teenager (as in, 0) despite being an adult... so expect a lot of stuttering and apologies out of her, tbh. but i can't wait to see him and pup around!!

Oh good! Then he can be awkward. And it can be a huge mess. I'm looking forward to it!

omg are they just gonna be awkward at each other... YOU LOOK LIKE A SMOOTH OPERATOR, CULLEN, WHY ARE YOU AWKWARD

He's usually smooth! But if he's just trying to socialize with women and not talking business, ehhhhh, he can get a little awkward.

ah... olivia feels that pain... socializing with strangers is hard.

(funnily enough, one of her supports has her friend attempting to tackle that problem for olivia

by teaching olivia some pick-up lines in order to speak to men :'|)

Oh my god. That's hilarious! Cullen's so bad at flirting. He can do it well sometimes, but if he thinks about it too much or someone surprises him with it, he gets awkward.

it was terrible... the ladies didn't realize until after the fact, and now olivia has a bunch of pick up lines under her belt, ready to be hastily thrown out when she feels anxious enough. :')

now i kind of want her to try one on cullen...

That's so cute!

Hey, if the opportunity arises, go ahead! I'm not sure how he'll react but it'll be fun.

that's half the fun, in not knowing! lol
