( THE BASICS ) Name: Kylo Ren Canon: Star Wars Character's (approximate) age: 29 (what even is aging in relativistic spacetime? Hmmm.) Character's powers: OP assholery using ~the Force~, specifically telekinesis, enhanced senses, strength and endurance, mind reading/memory retrieval; a MoM power that transfers any suppressed rage he is not acting on into a zone of irritability around him that makes others angry; being a dramatic asshole who takes himself way too seriously 24/7 Is your character registered/will they be?:
NO GODS AND NO MASTERS (no) Where does your character live?: Kylo lives at the Meadows aka the magic dream farm in Virginia and it's a Big Deal Are you looking for roommates?: No, though Ronan can't seem to stop accumulating them What is your character's job?: Kylo writes dramatic blank verse for a zine called THE VERSE HEARSE and occasionally performs his work... and yes he will take you on in a poetry slam (please)
( THE DETAILS ) RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Skills: Fighting, Edgelording, Retrieving secrets, Fucking Shit Up Likes: Aquariums, apparently? Learning in general, mastering skills, teaching. Secretly enjoys calligraphy, poetry, and listening to nu-post-prog-rock concept albums on vinyl. Recently discovered he actually really likes making things. Dislikes: Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker. (& Declan Lynch.) Urgent needs: to chill, to develop an immunity to power-nullification, to prevent himself from being ported out...
What are your character's plans?:
Having been temporarily ported out and experienced that whole mess of re-integrating his new canon memories into his MoM experiences, Kylo's come to believe that whatever he is here will not be returning to the galaxy far far away he came from. Which not only means he's cut loose from his Purpose, but also that his existence here is all he's going to get. He plans to defend the life he's made for himself here with anything and everything at his disposal, which really should worry you. He's more than willing and equipped to utterly destroy reality (he very nearly did, during the dreamfuckery event!) to hold onto the part of it he wants more than anything.
Does your character have a secret identity?: Kind of, in that the longer he remains here in MoM the less and less connected to Kylo Ren's purpose he becomes, but he's decidedly not moving back towards becoming his pre-Kylo self either. His attempts to develop his identity are going on in relative secret- he's got no intention of making another name change.
Where can your character commonly be found?: Kylo spends most of his time sloping around the Meadows, helping out with farm chores particularly if they involve shirtlessness (hammering in fence posts and chopping firewood are both shirtless activities, ofc.) He trains fairly frequently in the woods nearby.
De Chima is his city of choice for shopping and the like. He can be spotted in the supermarket arguing with self check-outs and stocking up on his favourite Weet-i-Crunch breakfast cereal or sipping a hot chocolate at his favourite cafe where he goes to do battle with writer's block, armed with a pretentious journal and a fancy pen he uses to scrub irritable scribbles over lines that don't scan right. Kylo is a regular at whatever froyo places haven't banned him for threatening the employees yet, where he orders ridiculously large portions of ridiculously mismatched flavour combinations covered in an even more ridiculously overloaded amount of sprinkles. In the evenings he might be found at Pour Decisions, his favourite bar, possibly propping it up with Ronan. And very occasionally Kylo performs his poetry at hipster underground venues...
Is your character open for pairings?:
Kylo is deep in an intensely obsessive and frankly horrifically codependent relationship (is he capable of any other kind? no.) with Ronan Lynch and recently finally used the word love in a sentence that didn't also include the word froyo, which means anything new on that level with anyone else isn't going to happen. But he's far from immune to catching complicated feelings or tumbling into bed with someone who makes him feel powerful, desired or heard, because he's terrible. He's also a terrible flirt, though he isn't always aware that's what he's doing. He may well put a lightsaber through your heart if you get close enough, but if you want to play with fire and have your character flirt with this ridiculous monster (or have him Notice them!) let me know, because I love it...
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?:
Absolutely yes. Kylo hasn't done a good murder in forever, sacrificing the love of his life and murdering a couple dozen aborted dreams doesn't count. He'd need a fairly solid or intensely immediate reason to give in to temptation as it would put his relationships with all these crazy people who've decided to be his friends at risk, but damn does he itch for an excuse to let loose and lay waste...
PLEASE NOTE: It's really, really not a good idea to poke at Kylo for funsies unless you want your character to get hurt, and it's not a huge amount of fun for me as a player to get trapped into a situation where I have to come up with a reason why he doesn't just straight up murder whoever's pissing him off. But if you're looking to fight him for real, I'm down!
Is your character interested in teams?: Thanks to Ronan he's kinda in one which came as a huge surprise to him, he's still not really sure what to do about that. He's willing to lend his resources and make use of others where necessary if it will align with his goals, namely, keeping his existence here from being obliterated.
What kind of plots are you after?:
I'm looking for things that will test Kylo's commitment to his developing identity. I love unlikely team-ups, uncomfortable bargains, plots that will push him towards acts of villainy or heroism. Can he be nudged towards confronting his own culpability? What could finally make him accept the existence of forgiveness as a process he could partake in? Could he ever say something nice about the Jedi?
I'm open to just about anything that sounds like it'll be fun, I love using Kylo and his abilities as a device to get other characters to confront their own views on forgiveness, revenge, punishment, redemption, and I HUNGER for IC conflict. Give it to meeee.
Come talk to me if:
- Your character has a power they can't control and needs a teacher
- Your character has unresolved issues with a mentor/parent who betrayed or abandoned them
...or if they betrayed or abandoned someone in their care
- Your character has very high stake investment in saving this world just to remain here
- Your character just wants to know what the fuck Kylo's even deal is
