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.

OH. Yes, that reminds me of something else Cullen would know - Anders came and operated under the name of Detlef for the first few months. Dumb name, but WoT calls it a common Anders name so I figured it was John-Smith-ish enough. Anyway, after those few months working for the Inquisition, healing, rescuing Zevran, saving some refugees from bandits on a War Table mission, and generally avoiding anyone who might know his face and hate him, he turned himself into the Wardens. The day after that, Leliana figured out who he was, and the log linked takes place shortly thereafter, once the Wardens surprised him and decided nah, they weren't going to execute him after all.

And I figured the icon was fitting. :D

...Until today I didn't realize there was someone with the actual name of Detlef. LOL. But I'm glad to provide giggles.

I googled him! But I did not see that shot. Imagining Anders like that... LOL.
