IC Info
Name: Kylo Ren | Ben Solo
Canon: Star Wars
Age: 29
Appearance: Kylo Ren is fucking tall. Standing at over 6 foot, perhaps appearing even larger because of the heavy layers of dark material he wears. His face is soft and sharp at the same time, angular cheekbones and prominent nose, a spotting of moles and marks. His eyes are brown and his black hair is long enough to cover his ears, which are a bit on the large side.
Canon Point: End of TROS
Background: wookiepedia link
CRAU: N/A
Personality: Kylo Ren, at a glance is a vicious man. And one would be right to think so. As a subordinate of Supreme Leader Snoke, he has been groomed and shaped as a commander within the First Order. His actions emulate that of his grandfather, Darth Vader, who terrorized the galaxy some thirty years before. Like Vader, Kylo wears a mask, but not to keep himself alive but to mask his true self. He embraces his power, using it to create fear amongst his enemies, to draw information from their minds, and to destroy those who step in his way. He is quick to anger, and quick to give into his raging tendencies.
Born Ben Solo to Leia Organa and Han Solo, Ben was the son of war heroes. Already before he could walk he had a legacy and expectation to live up to, of which he comes to resent. Of which he tries to rid himself of. Snoke encourages this, fashioning a new name for his apprentice and encouraging him to kill his past, his father. As a child, Snoke was already preying on the young mind, furthering his doubts and creating conflict in his heart, anger towards his family. A troubled child, quiet, but studious. Under Luke he is a prized pupil, excelling in his studies, his raw power and technique. But he sees his parents sending him away as a sign that they were afraid of him, and his power. It is only furthered when his uncle has a moment where he intends to kill Ben in his sleep.
He runs, believing that he can't go home to his family after he supposedly murdered his uncle. He runs to Snoke, and becomes the leader of the Knights of Ren. Ben Solo is dead.
Under Snoke's tutelage, he becomes Kylo Ren. And though he is a mentor to Kylo, the man is cruel to him, mocking him for his heritage, and calling him weak -- his father's son. He punishes his failures with pain, as well as uses techniques that are questionable at best and painful at work to train him. He encourages Kylo's anger, and rage and forces him to quash any and all signs of the light within him, making the young man a mess of unstable emotions. It's safe to say that the relationship is an abusive one, and it takes many years for Kylo to kill him.
His relationship with his subordinates is not much better, though he is the one at power here. Often using his force powers to punish failures by choking or flinging them with the force. Especially when it comes to his most hated general, Hux, who he despises and the feeling is mutual.
Under the mask there are still bits of Ben Solo, a frightened young man who Kylo was never able to destroy completely. Who objected to the use of Starkiller but never spoke out against it. It is Ben who feels when he murders his father, and it is Ben who understands Rey's loneliness, her fear... and is able to connect with her as they become bonded through the force. Despite the fact that they are on opposite sides of the war and should be enemies, Kylo doesn't want to kill Rey, or see her harmed. On Starkiller, he is intrigued by her power, and even wants to teach her. The two are connected through the force in what they will later learn is a rare occurrence called a dyad. While she is training under Luke, the force connects them so that they are able to speak and see one another - at first Kylo goads her, but then reveals to her the night that Luke attacked him. After which, they are able to put all aside, and speak to one another, truly, Ben to Rey: that neither of them are alone.
However, the moment is ruined by Luke, and Rey leaves to find Ben, believing he is more Ben than Kylo and that she would bring him back. They'd both seen different things when they touched hands; and he saw Rey standing at his side, so when she comes for him, he brings her straight to Snoke.
It is in part because of Rey that Kylo is able to kill Snoke, as his master calls for him to kill Rey. Masking his murderous intent with murderous intent, he makes it look like he is going to kill Rey, but turns the saber onto his former master instead.
When Rey rejects his offer to join him and let the old things die, he's furious and feels betrayed. The two fight and Kylo is knocked out, coming to and pinning the blame for the Supreme Leader's death on her, before taking the title for himself. He's furious, and intends to destroy the Resistance -- however with the appearance of his uncle, he is distracted and turns everything he has to kill the man... only to find he'd been fooled, the Resistance had escaped and Rey closed the door on their connection.
Edited 12/30/2022: Kylo is canon updated to the end of The Rise of Skywalker. While he still has some of the same traits, he's still got the temper and attitude but is less volatile and likely to murder you. Perhaps the most important part is that he is no longer the same lost and conflicted soul that he was, now going by Ben Solo, he has the hope that he didn't have. It's that hope that lead him to Exegol to stand and fight alongside Rey, even knowing that he might not make it back. It's that hope that brings him to finally know what he has to do, when he finds Rey dead. And he finally knows that he has the strength to do it.
Weaknesses/Temptations:
- Emotional immaturity. Kylo is very much not emotionally secure, he has been pushed to embrace his anger and use it like a weapon by Snoke. He is prone to violent outbursts of destruction, to sometimes lash out on others or expensive equipment. Other emotions are seen to him as a weakness.
- Conflicted nature. Called to the light, Kylo tries his damnest to quash the goodness in him, to rid himself of the man who he once was. He believes that the past is something to be destroyed, in order to become what one is meant to be. Hence his inability to embrace being Ben Solo again and returning with Rey to the Resistance base. In his quest, he has killed many -- including his own family, murdering his father and attempting to destroy Luke Skywalker. It is safe to say he will do anything he can in order to quell his conflict.
Sins: is "- Association with "The First Order", a group under Supreme Leader Snoke, Kylo is his apprentice. He is somewhat of Snoke's lackey, carrying out his orders with violence and death. Despite his misgivings about the use of a weapon that would wipe out five different planets, Kylo did not speak up and allowed it to happen.
- The murder of Han Solo, his father. While it was to quell the conflict and the light that had been building inside of him, all it does is weaken him, mentally and physically. On this same note, his actions on the planet of Crait led to Luke Skywalker's death as the man used his remaining strength to reach Kylo and allow the Resistance to escape.
- Using his powers to torture, and harm. To draw information out of others. The use to scare others into submission, such as flinging them or choking. Breaking very expensive equipment, much to Hux's dismay.
Powers/Abilities: Kylo Ren is a force user and a very powerful one at that, perhaps the strongest of his generation, save for his match in the light; Rey.
Specialties in the force include telepathy, or mind tricks -- compulsion of others to bend to his will. Drawing information out of anyone he tries, this can either be painful or as harmless as he makes it. Kylo can move objects in the air, or freeze them in place. His non force abilities are that he is a proficient fighter and skilled with a lightsaber.
Because of his raw strength and power, I am more than happy to tone his powers down. Kylo will not be pleased.
Items: - His lightsaber
- Shattered pieces of his helmet
- Pair of gold dice, formerly belonging to Han Solo
