I <3'd Spike, I am ok with this.

also disappointed I didn't think of Spike hair before

[LolaLei]

I think it's the nose and the shape of his eyes. Whenever people make him the nose and eyes never look right. Plus those dark circles also add to his uniqueness.

Lol, gawd if the haters came in now and saw us squeeing they'd presume they were right all along... not that we could sway them either way.

Sandal has the same hair as Cullen, so do a few npcs, but not hundreds.

And that must be why they are my two favourite npcs. Who knew it was the hair? I didn't!

[LolaLei]

Oh man, I had the biggest thing for Spike when I was at school...

... Well, that explains a lot.

[R2s Muse]

This is why *I* thought of it!   (...talk about necro-thread... )

Have you ever noticed that Cullen has the same hair as Spike from Buffy? David Gaider has made no secret of the fact that he's an avid Buffy fan, he's even mentioned in the past that Alistair is supposed to be a toss up of Xander and some other random character from Firefly. Anyway, I'm now wondering if perhaps Cullen is purposely being turned into the Spike of Dragon Age world. Here's my theory:

In Buffy we find out quite late in the series that before Spike was a vampire he was an awkward, meek, red headed young man (and wannabe poet), often mocked behind his back for being odd and a bit of a loser, pining after a woman that showed no interest/was out of his league/unrequited love. Cullen in DA:O was the awkward, meek, red headed young Templar who was considered a bit odd and mocked behind his back by the apprentices and was in love with a woman he couldn't have/unrequited love. Spike gets turned into a vampire and despite the intial conflict embraces vampirism with zeal. Cullen has obvious conflict within the Templar Order, but after his torture at the hands of Uldred he embraces the Templar beliefs with zeal. Spike bleaches his hair. Cullen suddenly has a lyirum dye job in DA2. Spike comes to Sunnydale and tries to kill Buffy, at this point he is considered a bad guy. Cullen comes to Kirkwall, still notably troubled by the events of DA:O and come across as a bad guy "Mages aren't like you and I... weapons, bad, blah blah" (not to mention at this point we're unsure of his motives.) Spike's softer side starts shining through and he makes an uneasy alliance with Buffy 'n' co. Cullen's softer side starts shining through and he makes an uneasy alliance with Hawke 'n' co. Spike turns against Drusilla, his Sire and helps Buffy. Cullen turns against Meredith, his superior and helps Hawke. In the entire Buffy series according to creator Joss Whedon Spike is the most "fully developed" of all the characters, just like Cullen is quickly becoming the most developed character in the Dragon Age games.

Now, DG said that there will be "angst" in Cullen's future (which we may well see in future games/novels/comics/etc), just like there was "angst" in Spike's future as he came to terms with the bad things he'd experienced and done over the course of many centuries, adding to the mix that he falls in love with a vampire slayer. If my theory is correct then having Cullen falling in love with the Mage in DA:O already mirrors this but would do so on a larger scale should he be made a love interest in DA3 (especially if the protagonist is a mage.)

Although I don't think it was DG 'n' co's intial intention to have Cullen mirror Spike's developmental plot, I feel like maybe they decided to purposely take this route for the "lol's" because Spike went from being considered a bad guy/weirdo and generally disliked to becoming very popular with fangirls and because they done it once before with Alistair and thought it was fun.

Your thoughts?



Their hairstyles are EXACTLY the same as well, and although Cullen's hair isn't as blonde as Spike's it's still considerably lighter than it was in DA:O when he was a redhead (and it was the same colour red in DA:O that Spike's natural hair colour was supposed to be when he was still just "William" prior to being turned into a vampire in late 18th century London.)

Screw it, I wanna do bad things to him. To Cullen haters: Come at me, bro.

If he had hazel eyes, he'd be almost a dead ringer for real life Cullen:

love for Cullen +9000, intentional Spike parallel or not

What horrid people on the DA3 forum!

They are idiots and you guys and Cullen rock !

*hugs* 

I like how the one person compared loving Cullen to being a Twihard. It really shows that people don't understand this fandom. 

Of course I'm sure there are girls out there who dream of Cullen sweeping their Mary Sue Amell/Hawke/Inquisitor PC off her dainty feet, but the majority of us just love his character and can't wait to see more of him.

I have no shame in my game! Haters have no say in what I decide I want to discuss!
I always have a hard time drawing him, I can never seem to get any of his face quite right and look the way I envision it. That is the problem with perfection, it's very hard to duplicate!

[meanieweenie]

Watch, they'll make him go bald for DA3! Oh the humanity! lol

Wheeeey! It's my Spike/Cullen comparison!

We'll look back and laugh at how wrong I got it when DA3 comes out.

I actually had to think long and hard about what  this was. I get it now.
At least I know which Cullen fandom I need not apply to.

I used to find him attractive, but now I find his face has become too modelish for my taste. Yeah, Cullen does resemble him though.

I like Paul Walker. What about a Jensen Ackles?



Curly hair isn't hard to do.

Paul Walker has always been a deadringer for me. Like this manip from the old thread, by Galagraphia. All she did was change the eye color and add the tattoo.

[Chanda]

I have to go take a shower now. And not because of all the hot pictures, either.

Y'know? I'm probably going to be the only one to say this, but I don't see it. The little beardy stubble...yeah, and maybe a bit of the lips, but other than that, I just don't see Cullen in there.

[SamaraDraven]

Hey Chanda, the banner will be ready later tonight. Gotta do dinner now.

 I totally just spit out my drink laughing! Seriously, you are golden!

[LolaLei]

It's weird to think that somewhere out there someone is walking around with Cullen's exact face. I was really freaked out when they discovered Kaidan's face model. So surreal.
