Name: Kylo Ren
Canon: Star Wars
Canon point: End of The Force Awakens, after being defeated by Rey
Age: 29
History: This article is about the Jedi known as Kylo Ren. You may be looking for the pirate Kybo Ren.
Personality:
Positive traits:
Determined: Kylo doesn't give up easily. In actuality, this can be both positive and negative, because he's extremely strong willed and will work for what he wants, and do whatever he can to get it. That being killing, mental mind manipulation, fighting and facing down foes or even standing up to his Master when he proposes to use Starkiller again. But it's also him not knowing when to give up - the fight with Rey and Finn in the forest, where instead of surrender, he continues to fight despite wavering and his injuries.
Intelligent: Kylo has always had an inquisitive mind and a desire for knowledge of all things in the Force. During his time under his Uncle's teachings, Kylo - then Ben, accompanied his uncle on missions to retrieve Jedi and Sith artifacts and studied history. His hobby, when not buried in a book or practicing, was calligraphy. As an adult, he still chases after knowledge of Jedi and Sith lore. It's this same curiosity that draws him to the scavenger - Rey, when she unlocks her abilities, and has him offering to teach her what he knows of the force and how to hone her skills. An offer she very much does not accept.
Honest: Kylo is very much an honest individual, he does not lie or coat things nicely ("you're nothing, you come from nothing"), which is a good and bad thing, good as he says what's on his mind and doesn't beat around the bush or lie. Without the use of the force to influence weaker minds, he probably would not be able to manipulate his way out of a paper bag, try as he might.
Negative traits:
Impulsive: And while it might be at slight odds with other things, Kylo is impulsive and not typically someone who will ask questions first and act later. He might be told to do one thing but if it's not what he wants to do or doesn't feel it will accomplish anything, he will do what he wants to and damn the consequences of said action, without giving much thought to as to what those consequences might actually be. Such as speaking or acting out against Snoke, an action that will more or less get him disciplined.
Quick tempered/destructive: If there's one thing that Kylo is known for, its his vicious temper and how easy it is to anger him. Encouraged by Snoke to give into it rather than bottle it up, it often explodes into violent bouts of destruction that are legendary to other crew and First Order officers. It gives him the reputation of being little more than a child, but a dangerous one at that and many will go out of their way to avoid him when he's in one of his moods. After getting news of the droid he'd been seeking out, for example, the first thing he does is smash up a console with a lightsaber and pull the officer across the room with the Force by the neck.
Conflicted: Underneath the very scary exterior of Kylo Ren is the lesser known part of him that he tries to hide. Kylo Ren was born as Ben Solo, to parents that loved him but didn't know how to deal with him as his power and proficiency in the force grew. He carries a great deal of anger towards them for many reasons, but when he sees his father again for the first time only moments before killing him, he had been ordered to finally do what needed to be done, to extinguish the light within him, he hesitates. He knows that he has to do it, but doesn't know if he can. And that's very much the case with him, he needs to finally embrace who he is completely as Kylo Ren before he can be free of conflict and pain. Rey is not wrong when she peeks into his mind and finds his fear, he is very much afraid - of not living up to the legacy of Darth Vader, of being called back to the light (failure).
Powers/Abilities:
- Ace pilot - Kylo has inherited his father's piloting skills and knowledge of spacecraft workings.
- Combat - A very proficient fighter in combat and use of a lightsaber
~The Force~
Kylo Ren is one of the most powerful force users in the galaxy. While many can sense the Force, not everyone is able to wield it and he is an exceptional student of it.
His particular skillset contains, but is not limited to:
Mind tricks/manipulation: The ability to influence someone else's mind. This one doesn't work on everyone, it is possible to withstand if you're another force user or have mental defenses in place.
Mind probe: Kylo can reach into someone's mind, and probe it for information or memories. The experience can be mildly unplesant or outright torture depending.
Premonitions: Being able to see things through the force via dream or touch.
Telekenesis: Being able to summon or move objects around with his mind.
Other: Knock someone out, rendering them unconcious, freeze an object (a blaster bolt) or person in place.
There are a few other instances of things that do not come to play until later on, such as the bond that he will later come to share with Rey in which they're able to see and talk to one another, touch and even pass objects into one another. It's what will later be known as a Force dyad, or a power like life itself.
Regret: Killing Han Solo, his father at the behest of Snoke.
Suitability: Kylo Ren is an extremely powerful force user, a trained fighter and pilot. While not particularly a team player, he is good to have around as someone who has less moral objections to dirtying his hands and using more brute force to accomplish any task that's required of him. Of course, with the knowledge that their aim is to undo the past and their regrets, he'll be more amendable to working alongside others.
Inventory: The clothes on his back, his lightsaber and helmet.
