NAME: Rose CONTACT:starktech / cryloren#2195 on Discord ABOUT YOU: Hello! I come from Brighton in the UK, currently live in rural Nova Scotia, and am a self-employed ceramicist/studio owner/operator who is currently not able to work. It's a whole Thing. Beyond the occasional meme and links to game toplevels and such I'm not very chatty on plurk these days but, add me if you are cool with having your threads stalked and popcorned over, want to see my pottery, my parrots (Gandalf the African Grey, Baloo the white-capped pionus and Boggle, my feisty cockatiel) and occasionally very stupid fanart of our characters, possibly as mudkips...
IC INFORMATION CHARACTER NAME: Kylo Ren CANON: Star Wars (pulled from between episodes VIII and IX) SIGN: The Tower FACTION: Thorne
CHARACTER INFORMATION: Angsty heir apparent to the Skywalker legacy who'd much rather be cool and evil like his grampa Vader, despite the fact he's not actually all that great at casual sadism (not that it stops him from trying). You can read about what he smells like (yes!) on his info page here, and tell me what kinda stuff he can pick up about your character with his fancy psychic abilities here.
CR YOU WANT: I'll happily receive any and all CR of course but my heart beats fastest for fractious frenemies! I love forced/unexpected/unwelcome team-ups, and honestly if anyone feels like giving me the lost in the wilderness/behind enemy lines with the person I like least CR of my dreams I will be thrilled beyond measure. I also enjoy all flavours of interaction where characters share an end goal but have wildly different ideas about the ethics of the situation, and relationships that develop through the discovery of unexpected commonalities. You may flirt with Kylo! It will be exceptionally awkward, which is great— Kylo's only just worked out that some people actually find him pretty attractive when he isn't busy committing various war crimes, and while he's no longer the canonical permavirgin he was on arrival in Abraxas he's still exceptionally weak to genuine compliments and has no idea how to handle attention of a positive nature. Destroy him.
CR YOU DON'T WANT: I can't think of much I actively don't want, and even the tropes and setups I don't tend to go for can be lots of fun with the right set-up! I do struggle with small-talky type threads and vastly prefer it if there's a Reason for our characters to be interacting, but otherwise? Please just throw it at me.

Investigation:
What are Cadens and Solvunn doing with their stolen caskets? What can be done to fortify and strengthen the Singularity? Who are Oliver Abbot and Elizabeth Francis and what are their motivations? While he remains aligned with Thorne, Kylo's willing to work with like-minded characters from any faction to unpick these mysteries and more— albeit in a shadowy, ominously illuminati-like fashion rather than some kind of arms around the world rally.
Politik:
Kylo's moving up in the world, with his actions so far having gained him a position of relative authority in Thorne— namely, a task force of four Thornean mages under his command, as well as a title (The Venerable Kylo Ren, thank you!) earned with his actions during the Dimming event. I'd love to play with other characters in Thorne pushing for position and power, as well as with anyone looking for a big strong to hide behind or hitch their proverbial wagon to. Kylo is currently working most closely with Jolene, Ambrose's highest ranking apprentice (who is secretly more loyal to the Duchess of Hayle, Ambrose's sister), and they've recently become aware that the Queen of Thorne herself is behind some pretty sketchy experiments. If your character is into political intrigue, Kylo may be a good way to get teeth into that whole scene.
Study and experiments:
Kylo's been working with Thornean natives to test the feasibility of bridging and blending Abraxan magic with the skills and abilities the Summoned brought with them from their home worlds, mostly to empower himself. He is surprisingly willing to help others learn magic, and will share the use of a magically protected room in Castle Thorne for the purpose. He's also open to introducing characters to the Horizon for the first time: he's very comfortable with meditation and metaphysical nonsense and will gladly theorise with fellow nerds for days given the slightest opportunity.
