Character Name: Kylo Ren Arcana: The Tower Faction: Thorne
Chosen Herald: Sannleikr of Many Faces
Afflictions:
i. reflection
Kylo will be seeing the version of himself he's tried so hard to eradicate reflected back at him: Leia and Han's son, Ben Solo. He'll be getting increasingly infuriated and paranoid about this, concerned that others might be able to see Ben too.
ii. haunted
Would you like Kylo to attack you? Afflicted by Sannleikr's influence, Kylo will be mistaking friends, family,lovers and strangers alike for his enemies. This could be a straight up sword/magic fight or something more acerbic if you would prefer a verbal sparring session your character hasn't been given the script for. Some of Kylo's enemies have more nuanced relationships with him than others, and we could even have him mistake your character for his pre-Kylo Ren proto-Jedi Ben Solo self..! If you know Kylo's canon feel free to suggest who you would like your character to temporarily resemble, otherwise if you give me an idea of the kind of interaction you're looking for I can pick for you. Any way we do it, this could be a good way to learn stuff about Kylo and his background that he wouldn't ordinarily reveal, exposing his fears and weaknesses (which your character can make use of later if they wish and you'd like some negative/mixed CR— you're also welcome to use it as an inroad for more positive CR if the thread goes in a more sympathetic direction).
iii. only you
And then there's afflicting others. Kylo will discover this ability while working with his taskforce of abraxan mages, who will be accidentally struck with Kylo's Sannleikr-given ability and find themselves unable to recognise anyone other than their commander. Kylo will therefore be a little more charming than he should be by all rights, which will be an adventure for a man who walks around with a face like a slapped arse. He'll then be working with his taskforce (and any other Summoned who would be curious about it) to try and understand what this affliction is and whether it can be controlled/neutralised/weaponised... but he'll be sharing anything he learns with Jolene because he's a true blue Thornean. Isn't he? If you'd like Kylo to test his abilities on your character, let me know! He won't be deliberately using this power maliciously, unless...
What other Herald's influence are you interested in?: ...do you want your Adlewyrd-affliated character to influence Kylo to Sannleikr them? Kylo's felt isolated and rejected for much of his life and it wouldn't take much for him to lash out and deliberately use his newfound ability to isolate someone else from their supports. Koth-affliated characters could also push Kylo in this direction, though it could be more fun to freak him out with a hallucination of his death. I'm down for just about anything you think could be interesting to explore.
Horizon plans: I don't have specific Horizon plans but I'm open to exploring the option if you have ideas! As this is a late entry to the event I'll probably just be seeing if anyone is looking for a thread-partner in their toplevels.
General plans:Come at me over here for Kylo's toplevel! I'm willing to write starters wherever will be most useful for you and/or tag in to yours if that works best. Hit me up on plurk starktech or on Discord: cryloren#2195

What will visitors find in your domain? Kylo shares his domain with Ronan, and it's a freaky volcano-forest-palace-fortress. And Ronan is having a Time which is going to make it all the creepier.
