Description:
  • Were to begin. Cullen was born in lower Nivenhian. He was always a happy child, well for a while he was. At age 10 his mother was beaten to death by his drunk of a father, after which Cullen spent the next 4 years under his father's abuse, causing him to develop extreme trust issues. It was at age 15 had finally had enough and ran away from home, but not before setting the place ablaze, his drunk of a father trapped inside. From age 15 to age 17 he was homeless, doing everything he could to survive.

    When he turned 18, he found himself selling his body for food among other things, along with some other boys & girls who shared the same tortured upbringing as him. They were just drawn to him, eventually making him their so-called leader. He was always in trouble with the local peasants in the low city, so much so the local knights knew him by name.

    It was not the easiest life but it was one that he had come accustomed to, making sure his fellow street orphans were taken care of. One day he found himself in quite a predicament. One of the girls in his group was being harassed by a group of drunken men, Cullen coming to her rescue, only to find himself outnumbered. He was beaten within an inch of his life that night, and just as things looked grim, a ray of hope appeared.

    A doctor had stumbled onto the scuffle and used a single bullet to end the beating. The drunks were scared more than anything and ran off. The man that saved Cullen was looked like an angel through his swollen eyes, his long golden hair obscuring the man's face as he was tending to the wounds of both Cullen and the girl.

    Cullen was shocked yet intrigued by the act of kindness shown to him by the stranger, and a fascination began to grow. Cullen would always be seen out of the corner of the doctor's eye, following him wherever he went, causing the doctor to be amused by him. Eventually, the good doctor confronted Cullen, introducing himself as Cyrus Von Faust.

    Ever since then Cullen has been at Cyrus' side whenever possible, owing the man his life and the life of his friends.

Ripples for Mirage


Hello!

Do you plan for this NPC to have a larger connection to plots in Lorien, or have history or a background that will help drive any of your character plots? If so I would ask you add in some additional details to this write up, including a brief biography detailing her history and relation to Cyrus a bit more. It will be easier in the long run if you get the initial approval here at the start than trying to add more into her background at a later date.

Please feel free to talk to Sovereign if you have any specific plans for her, otherwise just add a bit more to her biography and we will wrap this NPC up.

Question your Reality,
Mirage

P.S. keep in mind the details of the writeup are not common knowledge to characters in Ransera. It is purely for mods and players to utilize for their writing. This means she can still be mysterious and vague IC, even if some more of her history is known to the player base.

Hello, Cyrus! Thank you for revamping this NPC. Before I go along with the approval of this character, there are some things that need clarification.

1. What sort of trouble with the law was Cullen in? As Lorien currently stands, too much trouble with the law (for a nameless) could lead to being executed by a band of hollows; this would involve any crime committed against any citizen of Lorien (Savant+). Crimes against the nameless are not typically penalized, either, which makes this detail stand out as odd to me.

2. Someone named Abryon is mentioned in the first paragraph of his description, but I have a feeling that might just be a draft name.

3. As this is a companion NPC, could you please include his starting package and farthings in the write-up somewhere?

Please let me know when these have been addressed and/or amended and we can proceed to approval!

Build to last,
Ruin.
