I'M CANON BLIND. WHO IS THIS? ↴ Commander Cullen Rutherford is a character from the Bioware games Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, and Dragon Age: Inquisition. The world of Dragon Age is a Medieval style fantasy setting with sentient races such as humans, elves, and dwarves, monsters like giant spiders and dragons, magic, and a technology level of what could be expected out of the late Middle Ages with a few exceptions of advancements made by dwarves and a people known as the Qunari. Cullen himself used to be a templar, essentially a soldier of the main church of his world tasked with guarding and keeping the mages in line in what is known as a Circle of Magi. He would also have been expected to go to war for the Chantry if given the order by the head of the church. All templars in Thedas were knights. Cullen's rank in DA 2 was captain, one level below the second highest rank of commander. In Inquisition, Cullen has been recruited to lead the troops of an organization brought together by Divine Justinia to try to put a peaceful end to the mage/templar war begun at the end of the second game. A hole ripped in the sky between the material world and a realm of spirits known as the Fade quickly sidelines the war and forces many factions to try to come together to deal with the breach. Cullen is a steadfast supporter of any efforts to bring order to the land and hope to the people. As a templar and beyond, he values duty, steadfastness, patience, and vigilance. He is an honorable person who will put the needs of others above his own needs if they are people he believes in need of protection. This does not equal doormat. He can be harsh and sharp toward people who are rude or who make him suspicious of their intentions. He acts more from the head than the heart. *Works well with: other Medieval types and fantasy canons, strong personalities, other soldiers/warriors, tactical thinkers, religious characters, polite characters, outgoing characters, action/adventure scenarios, exploration scenarios, angst, serious scenes, political scenes, and guardian type roles. *Difficult to mesh with: High tech and sci-fi, weak personalities, reticent characters (because he is, too), overly flirtatious characters, evil characters (unless you're wanting major conflict, which I'm fine with), modern scenarios, slice of life or small talk, and crack. I'm willing to try with any of the above. Sometimes unlikely things still work out well.

WHAT'S HIS CANON POINT? ↴ For Dragon Age 2 Cullen, I usually play him from the templar victory path. His default origin is with the f!Amell Warden. He had a crush on her in the Circle Tower in Ferelden. She sided with the mages during the Broken Circle quest. His road to recovery was a rocky one with him spending time in Greenfell before his transfer to Kirkwall. Although there are rumors that he attacked a group of apprentices before his transfer, it's an exaggeration. There was an incident concerning enough to Knight-Commander Greagoir that he felt that a transfer was in the best interests both of the tower and of Cullen personally. In Kirkwall he and Hawke had a cordial though not close relationship and occasionally worked together on issues involving templar business until Meredith cracked down on the involvement of outsiders. In his Kirkwall, the Qunari incident was settled by single combat between the Arishok and Hawke. However, I'm very willing to be flexible about Wardens, Hawkes, and game events as well as canon points. I can play pre-Origins up through post-Inquisition. If you want to work out an Inquisition canon point, I'm happy to be flexible. Because the game is relatively new, I'm avoiding spoilers here for now. I'm not opposed to AUs if the premise is interesting. If you have an idea for something, feel free to PM me at this account.

STATS ↴ Height: 6'4" Weight: 225 lbs. Build: Heavily muscular Hair: Sandy blond, curly Eyes: Hazel Age: I'm willing to play him from late teens up. Default is 34. Orientation: Heterosexual. I'm willing to play him bi in memes if the chemistry is there. Occupation: Commander of the Inquisition Skills: Expert with sword and shield, some training with greatswords, basic herblore, command and tactics, diplomacy, wilderness survival, tracking Abilities: Templar Talents for DA 2 or Templar Talents for Inquisition Virtues: Patient, thoughtful, observant, dutiful, selfless Flaws: Mistrustful, reticent, stubborn, sharp-tongued Misc. Still suffers from PTSD due to being taken captive by demons and blood mages in Ferelden's Circle. Is working to kick his addiction to lyrium forced on him while he served as a templar.

OOC PREFERENCES ↴ Canon/Cross-Canon/Cross-Medium/OCs: Yes to all. I most often meme with castmates because of familiarity and ease of establishing setting. That doesn't mean I'm not open to branching out or being tagged by new or unfamiliar characters. I'll never just ignore a prompt. If for some reason I don't want to thread with you or don't feel like it will work, I'll let you know why. Assumed CR: Yes, when the meme premise calls for it or would work better for it. I'd prefer for this to be arranged through a short plotting conversation before we start just to make it go more smoothly. Action/Prose: Both fine. I prefer prose but will match your tagging style and tense if you're starting. Shipping: Yes, with some qualifiers. I have to be at least somewhat canon familiar, or barring that have enough information on your character to know whether there would be any chemistry. Unless it goes really well, I don't typically want continuity meme to meme with a ship. If you do, please PM me before a second thread so we're on the same page, and please don't take it personally if I decline. I'm picky with ships. More often than not your writing and playing are fine, but I don't feel that the characters clicked all that well. I also prefer for these sorts of things to develop organically rather than being forced. Smut: Yes, also with qualifiers. I usually don't enjoy PWP unless I'm in a meme with that as the premise. I don't like to completely break characterization to make something work, so smut scenes that would be completely out of character for Cullen without external influence of some sort don't interest me to play. I'm very difficult to offend with language or graphic content. The only things that truly annoy me in a smut thread are blatant ignoring of preferences, poor IC/OOC divide, godmoding, and pillow queening. Like with shipping, if you'd like smut continuity between different memes, please ask me first. Gen: Yes. Bring it on. I lose interest in slice of life or chit-chat pretty quickly. We'll have a better time of it with action or adventure, supernatural themes, mysteries and puzzles, or conflict of some sort. I love negative CR and don't take it personally. For continuity meme to meme, please ask me first. Sometimes I enjoy the dynamics between strangers more than people who know one another for specific scenes. OOC Contact: PMing me for plotting, clarification, and general questions about a thread is fine. If more than a week passes when I owe you a tag, feel free to poke me about it. Chances are I lost a notif or RL got slammed busy. If I've posted a top-level comment in a meme with no qualifiers, you don't need to ask me if an option is OK before starting. Just start, and let's have fun with it.

PERMISSIONS ↴ Simple action and fight scenes: Moving him around within reason, such as walking together, sitting together, etc. is fine. Punches, slaps, shoves, etc. are also fine, but please let me play his reactions and consequences. Ask me first about anything that would cause major or lasting damage or death. Smut scenes: Small positional changes, kissing him, hugging him, etc. are fine once he has consented and the scene has started. Please do not godmode his reactions, thoughts, feelings, or anything major like flipping him or pinning him as a done deal unless we've already arranged it. If we've played together for a while and I trust you, I'm more lax with these sorts of things. NPCs: Yes, if they contribute to the scene or facilitate the plot in some way. No, if it's a cheap way to try to godmode me.

KINKS ↴ *Unless otherwise stated, this is an OOC kinks list. The yes list is things I enjoy playing and not completely comprehensive. Some things on the yes list would take an external circumstance to make Cullen do them like certain mind control meme premises. The character himself is pretty vanilla. If you don't see it on my no list and want to play it, ask. The maybe list is things I'm willing to play but could take or leave. The no list is self-explanatory, and please don't ask if I'll make an exception for you. My no's are hard no's. Yes: Bondage, D/s, orgasm control, frot, oral (giving and receiving), rimming (giving and receiving), anal (giving and receiving), facial, blood play, breath play, power play and power dynamics, humiliation (receiving), scratching, biting, marking, rough sex, drugged sex, hatesex, magic play, electricity, toys, xeno. Maybe: Pee desperation (as part of humiliation), foot fetish, size difference (within realistic bounds), age difference (no younger than 17), hurt/comfort, non-con (would be extremely ooc as the perpetrator), rule 63 (partner, not him.) No: Guro, vore, futa, infantilism, scat, snuff, necro, bestiality, furry/anthro, shota/loli, lactation, inflation, feeding/weight gain, pregnancy, cervix pounding, or grossly unrealistic proportions of breasts or genitalia.
