Cullen’s history is nothing to write home about, typical family, typical schooling, typical everything... until he hit the age of nineteen and decided to live on his own. After nearly a month of living on his own, he became a recluse, his family finally deciding enough was enough when they found him in his unkempt apartment in the middle of a panic attack. Afterwards, Cullen was sent to Plywood to rehabilitate and gain the help he needed to integrate properly into the ‘real’ world.
Cullen is often described as being a bad mix between anxious and antisocial, usually preferring his own company to that of others. While he can be friendly, it’s hard to get him out of his hard shell and open up properly to the people around him... but he tries his hardest. Cullen is a gaunt figure, bordering on worryingly thing, with sharp cheekbones, sunken cheeks and eyes, and messy, unbrushed red hair. His skin easily burns having not seen much of sunlight in the last few months, and is often decorated with bruises and bumps -- he doesn’t know where they come from either. He has thin, drawn lips that are often cracked and peeling. Cullen wears loose sweaters or shirts, comfortable slacks (sometimes pj pants) and his Plywood issued, thin slippers.
He, much like Kakena, is a hard figure to approach but only because he tries his best to avoid being seen and interacted with. He tends to spend most of his time in the recreation room, watching the old model train go round and round under the plexy glass covering. Cullen tends to be blunt though has to fight through a near permanent stutter and lapses of sudden silence.
