Hello and welcome to Baby's First Permissions Post! This is literally my first time playing a character with powers of any kind, so please bear with me as we embark on this adventure together.

FIRST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: I love IC consequences. I live for IC consequences. Kylo Ren is an extremely powerful Force user who is also a massive baby and a huge tool, and I fully expect him to get in a lot of trouble pulling the shit he pulls (more on the shit he pulls later). I promise I'm not playing him to show off how awesome he is. As long as it doesn't render him unplayable, I am probably down with any kind of IC consequence, especially if it makes him look like an idiot or encourages him to reflect, a little, on his terrible life choices (ideally both!). Please don't be shy about this—I'm actually looking forward to it, especially since it could ultimately lead to him becoming a—dare I say it?—better person. All I ask is that you drop me a note in advance!

Okay, so. Although Kylo Ren is from the Star Wars universe, he's technically neither Jedi nor Sith—he's a Master of the Knights of Ren (I'll pause so everyone can roll their eyes), a faction that arose sometime after the Galactic Civil War (i.e. the events of the original trilogy). They're affiliated with the dark side of the Force—as he'd be the first to tell you, Kylo Ren derives his power from the dark side! Which is more aggressive, manipulative, and just generally less respectful than the light. He abuses the hell out of his powers (“moderation” and “self-control” are pretty much foreign concepts to him), so if these permissions seem crazy in-depth, it's only because I want everyone to know what they're getting into.

Fill out as much or as little as you'd like—the nice thing about the Force is that there are exceptions to pretty much anything. And even if you do give permission here, I'll always check before doing anything more extensive than sensing your character via the Force.

O V E R V I E W

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: I can't imagine it'll be anything other than exceedingly awkward, but if exceedingly awkward is your thing GO FOR IT. It's—hahahaha—possible he'll react violently, depending on the context, but then that's pretty much always a possibility.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: YES PLEASE I mean what. Most of the time this guy's spoiling for a fight, so by all means, give him an excuse to wreck shit. Just bear in mind that things may escalate really, really quickly, given his powers and, uh, temperament.
INJURY/DEATH: Ask first, but I am not at all opposed. (I mean, let's not kill him thirty times, guys. Show some restraint.)
TELEPATHY/MINDREADING: Ask first so we can work out the details! While he's theoretically adept at shielding his mind from other Force users, he's also a huge fucking mess, so it'll absolutely be possible to catch him off guard. He might be more vulnerable—or vulnerable in different ways—to other kinds of telepathy, and I'd love to play with that.
PROPERTY DAMAGE: Look, he's constantly breaking other people's shit, it's only fair that they be able to respond in kind.
RELATIONSHIPS: What's wrong with you. No but really, I'm expecting a ton of negative CR AND I WILL BE DISAPPOINTED IF I DON'T GET IT.

PREFERRED CONTACT: PM or hit me up on plurk @smugfrog
TIME ZONE: EST
BACKTAGGING: Yes please! And feel free to poke me if I'm overdue on something.
THREADHOPPING: I LOVE IT.
FOURTHWALLING: Ha ha ha...I don't love it. I'm not gonna ask that you erase Star Wars from your character's mind, obviously, but please don't bring it up to him directly. That said, if you have an amazing fourth-walling idea, let me know! Hopefully we can plot something! I swear I'm not trying to ruin anyone's fun here.
ACTION V. PROSE: No real preference, and I have no problem matching my tagging partner.
