Cullen | Dragon Age

[personal profile] feelslikequiet 2017-11-10 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: JC
CHARACTER: Cullen
CANON: Dragon Age

AU NAME: ...Cullen... (I'm debating whether to leave his last name Rutherford or pick something more American, may also depend if I find him any au family!)
AU AGE: 32-ish
AU OCCUPATION: Librarian at Recolle Public Library

BLURB:

» American! For that sweet Ferelden accent regain down the road ;)
» Comes from a big family like in canon, with several siblings (probably including that one sister that nags him incessantly)
» Was a shy kid, good at school but not very social
» He was in both football and the chess club in high school. Nerdiest jock ever.
» Had set his sights on being in the military, and was shooting for the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. Between his athletics and grades he was considered practically a shoo-in. While he was doing his initial round of testing, however, it was discovered he suffers from (what was then) previously-undiagnosed cardiomyopathy and was turned down. According to the doctors he was lucky he hadn't collapsed during football before that point.
» He's actually pretty happy being a librarian, even though it's the farthest thing from his original intended occupation.
» Has a secret love of superhero movies/comics/etc
» Terrible at card games
» To keep a grip on his heart problem he eats insanely healthy and does as much exercise as his doctor will allow.
» He has a snazzy townhouse that's just a bit out of his price range, so he's currently living with Biffy ([personal profile] dandyofawolf) in a very "Odd Couple" kind of roomie situation.
» Does not date because he is still very much a shy nerd.

LOOKING FOR:

» SIBLINGS! Half-siblings or step-siblings would work too, his family is still pretty flexible at this point
» Co-workers? Do we have anyone in the game who works at the library?? I don't even know D:
» F-friends? A few, maybe? To drag Mister Lineface out and make him have fun :|

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: NOPE. I already have Fai in the game and I'm pretty happy with my choice with Cullen. I'm good :)

Frederick here is 33 and is former military and... probably did football in high school! Would you be down for them being friends in high school and re-connecting when Frederick is discharged?
feelslikequiet: (looking pretty » calm/even)

[personal profile] feelslikequiet 2017-11-10 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds great to me! Is Frederick just getting discharged or has it been a while?
embearass: tumblr: hamstr (I'd love to keep bees)

[personal profile] embearass 2017-11-10 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
He's been discharged for a bit! He worked as a fitness trainer for a little bit and now is part of the police department in the chocobo mounted unit.
feelslikequiet: (looking pretty » thanks Leli)

[personal profile] feelslikequiet 2017-11-10 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
jldkfds chocobo mounted unit that will never stop being hilarious I'm sorry

But yes this sounds great! Please tell me Frederick is social and can drag Cullen out of his hermit cave :)
embearass: tumblr: garbagebird (i saw the bee movie i know what happens)

[personal profile] embearass 2017-11-10 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
please never stop laughing because i can't either

But he's not a social butterfly, but he does like going out quite a bit! He can also def help Cullen with his exercises too.
feelslikequiet: (looking pretty » thanks Leli)

[personal profile] feelslikequiet 2017-11-10 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
y hello there :)

(You're still not allowed to try to set him up, Biffy.)
dandyofawolf: (Over here over here)

[personal profile] dandyofawolf 2017-11-10 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Whaaaaaaaaaat? But he'd be the best wingman!

YELLS LOUDLY CULLEN!!!!!!

ReVA volunteer stuff would mean that events sometimes happen at the library, maybe these two know each other from that?
feelslikequiet: (amused » that smug smile)

[personal profile] feelslikequiet 2017-11-10 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
That works! Cullen is probably quietly amused at this tiny busybody and all the stuff she gets up to :)
complementing: (✿ her determination [ SEIRYU ])

[personal profile] complementing 2017-11-10 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
shhhhh she's not a busybody, she's just a busy somebody :3c but YAAAS Cullen is excellent and I wish I could've played the game so I could romance him LAUGHS

Would Cullen like to join the Matthews/Nelson clan and be one of Derek's older siblings and cousin to two awesome people? Derek has 6 siblings. Is that large enough?
feelslikequiet: (looking pretty » calm/even)

[personal profile] feelslikequiet 2017-11-10 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
I am no longer awake enough to be super coherent about this, but YES that sounds great! I would love to have Cullen be Derek's big brother :)
blondferret: (amused)

[personal profile] blondferret 2017-11-10 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! So far in the family we have Amanda from Little witch acadamia and 9s from Neir:automata as younger siblings, and Foggy nelson and Natasha Romanov from MCU. Oh, you also get Tatsuo and Matt as Derek's "adopted brothers"

I saw that Cullen did well in school. Maybe Cullen could have been that cool older brother who helped Derek with his homework when he was younger and helped Derek develop good study habits? Because, Derek is a pretty huge nerd.

HoMan, can Reed come gush to him about superhero stuff sometime? Would that go anywhere?

Hell, even if it doesn't, he'll probably talk Cullen's ears off. Let him pull you out of your shy shell, guy!
