a call for assistance
Hello, Fade Rift. My name is Ophelia and I'm your new Cullen. If you want to just chat and plan new stuff, that is awesome and I am excited and I have an intro comment for it right here! In the mean time, this is a call for old CR to come give me a hand.
THIS POST IS CLOSED, AND I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING OLD CR FOR CULLEN.
Due to the nature of his character, and the level of involvement he has with those who come to the Inquisition, adding past CR continually as it is brought to me is not a viable way of playing Cullen.
As such, from here on in, anyone who has not already commented on this post with their past CR will be treated as brand new CR. I apologize if this creates an inconvenience for anyone, but I made this post available for what I feel was an ample amount of time.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
So, there is obviously a bit of inherent difficulty in playing a character that has been previously played by someone else. Especially in a setting like Fade Rift where that character did not go home or leave for any length of time, and where they are not coming in as an alternate version of themselves. I'm going to ask for some help in that arena, especially since it looks like the previous Cullen was in the game since the very beginning. There must be a lot that he's already done.
Here's how you guys can help me! (And thank you so much in advance for the assist.)
If your character had any important interaction with Cullen, something that you feel helps to define their relationship, or even just something fun that you want to keep as past CR, please drop me a link to the log. That way, I can read up on what Cullen has already been up to, figure out a way to incorporate it in my own playing of him if at all possible, and have a firm grip on where he's at. This way I weed out all the interactions with characters who have dropped, or interactions that don't matter much to you guys. Anything that isn't brought to me, I'm going to assume you're fine with having it ret-conned out of his history. This will be far easier for Cullen from an IC standpoint than suddenly losing a bunch of his memories, since we all know that's been a huge looming fear of his. The fact that it won't be lyrium doing it will be a small comfort, but not much. A gaping hole in your mind is still a gaping hole in your mind.
While this is mostly a call for logs of one-on-one CR, if there was any big event that Cullen was part of that you think I should know about, please share it. You guys have been here longer than I have, and you know what's already gone down. That's the help I'm after.
I'm going to ask that you guys get these links to me within the next two weeks. This way, I can dive right in a.s.a.p. and get to playing with all the fun stuff available here. I feel like two weeks is enough time for anyone who wants to to have a chance to get things to me, enough time for me to read it all, and not so much time that I will lose my whole first month in the game to it. If you know of anyone who is on hiatus and has had significant interactions with Cullen, please give them a heads up. You can also just tell me who they are and I will PM them to make sure they know what's going on.
So, yeah, that's how you guys could really help me out. Get me your important Cullen logs by the 23rd of June so I can get to playing this fluffy little lion man with a concrete idea of his game history. Also, while I'm totally available for chatting and planning things on plurk or AIM or wherever, please contain logs for me to read to this post only. This way they are all in one place. I am going to literally be using this post as a checklist. It's just so much easier for me.

It's also possible that Jamie would have approached him about officially signing up once the rifters were allowed to join since he'd talked to him previously, but since the actual joining was allowed to handwaved at the time there wasn't any specific log, and if you'd prefer to not have that as a part of their CR we can certainly skip that part of things. I'm @evilgiraffe on plurk if you've got any questions, though!

Not that it has any bearing on this, but Jamie is one of my favourite old Who companions.That all seems legit. Assuming that Cullen was named as the person people were supposed to approach, or at least one of them, I'm fine with Jamie having talked to him about joining up. Provided we assume it was a very brief and basic conversation. I'm looking to avoid handwaving any serious or in depth interaction based on what the last Cullen player did. Just for my own mental health. XDno subject
hee, maybe it doesn't but I'm always tickled to find people who know who he is!I honestly don't remember 100% at this point if there was supposed to be someone specific or not. I'm sorry. :( I do think it'd be safe to assume that Cullen would know that he was one of the first rifters to actually manage to close a rift, but honestly Jamie wouldn't have gone into depth much about it unless asked so a brief and basic conversation sounds good to me.

"Hey, remember me? I want to join up."
"Yup. Totally remember you. Like the cut of your jib. Welcome aboard."
"Och, yay!"
"I'm going to go do eight million things and avoid sleeping now. Laters."
I know, I'm everything you've hoped and dreamed for in an RP partner. No applause, please.
