Presenting: The Iron Bull
...Debating which dragon to tag with... 
CrypticGirl Uh-oh. xD Up to you-
Any preference? Cute, tiny timid dragon, or big snarky dragon?
Ooh, either could be entertaining... First one feels like Bull would potentially be questioning their dragon-hood. Either's going to get 'but why is it talking' xD
/throws hat into the ring
Hey, the more the merrier.
Maybe I'll toss Liora too, but idk...
Whatever you're comfortable with. I got a lot of free time here at work. 
Nice. 
Oh yeah.
I've always wanted to play with an Iron Bull. I feel like he and Yang should be friends so they can annoy everyone with puns.
Puns are good
No! They're not! Which is why I love them!
Well yes, fair. xD
Koishi needs to meet all the Dragon Age characters. I just don't know where to start... >w>
Haha, it happens.
IT BEGINS
I want Cassian to meet hi cuz he will wonder if he is an alien but I also need to get my girls out more... so will probably throw a few at you
Hey, whoever you want. At the moment he's inundated with little girls and dragons and is a little amused at the fact. xD

Aww that is cute
oh and if he meets sakuya he's welcomed to hit on her all he wants. She'll hate it.
I'll keep that in mind, I'm not familiar sorry
she's not a redhead but... 
also, legs for days 
Ah.
it really is uncanny how remarkably similar these characters are.
I have no idea if Cole being like Koishi was coincidence or not.
Eh, I don't really see the similarities, but that might be due to my knowing Cole's motivations and not really being familiar with Koishi's
not motivation wise since Koishi's motivation ranges from entirely self serving to entirely selfless at times.
rather conceptually they are nearly identical. They are both spirit creatures with magnificent hats with very similar manners of speech and identical power sets down to the tiniest specifics.
the only difference really is that Koishi has general magic too and can fly.
not really? Cole can only read minds if there's 'hurt' there he can 'help'
Koishi used to be able to read minds.
I know, I've read her wiki.
the wiki doesn't even begin to cover things in touhou unfortunately due to the nature of the beast. It is a good starting point though.
i'm not complaining either. They're absolutely different CHARACTERS and i love them both to pieces
And i'm not far enough into the game to see how cole evolves later on after the obligatory personal quest. But pre-personal quest Cole is conceptually extremely similar to koishi.
And I don't see the similarities at all, conceptually
That's fine if we don't see it the same way. I just thought it was interesting imo.
sure, and it's possible that the idea of spirits and demons in Thedas was imspired by Japanese folklore. The creators have never stated their inspiration.
it seems more likely that Warhammer 40k was a more direct inspiration. It's even referenced directly in some of the lore bits. Most notably in Witch Hunt.
Or, at the very least, some of the writers were fans and included nods.
Probably, as all video game developers do in their games.
