character information
● name: Kylo Ren
● canon: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
● canon point: Following the meeting with Supreme Leader Snoke; Hux has just been given the order to target the Resistance base on D'Qar.
● age: 29

● (canon) background: wiki.
● (original) world: n/a.

● abilities:

↪ FORCE SENSITIVE. Kylo Ren is a human Force-sensitive. This means that he is able to access and bend the mysterious energy field (referred in the franchise as "the Force") to his will. This manifests in a number of abilities.
note: Ren will make use of these abilities sparingly. However, I have created an opt-out/permissions post for him here.

↪ LIGHTSABER. Ren is a gifted lightsaber duelist. The cracked kyber crystal makes the blade more powerful but also less reliable, necessitating the twin lateral vents and additional protection. However, since he built this weapon himself, he is able to summon it to himself at a great distance.

↪ LEADERSHIP. Not only is he co-commander of the First Order, he is the master of the Knights of Ren, a Dark side organization. Say what you will about his management style, he at least has that authoritarian presence.

↪ LANGUAGE APTITUDE. In addition to Basic, Ren is able to understand (if not necessarily speak in some cases) Binary, Shyriiwook and Huttese. The visual dictionary also tells us that Ren (and his fellow Knights presumably) studied all kinds of arcane knowledge in their quest to understand and master the Dark Side. This supports the idea that Ren has a good understanding of a number of languages.

↪ TINKERING. This is a Skywalker thing. Ren built his lightsaber himself from scratch as well as designed and created his mask. It's debatable whether or not he's any good at it. Certainly, there's room for improvement, but give him access to the proper tools and enough time and he might surprise you.

● strengths:

↪ DRIVEN. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone more focused or dedicated. Ren believes wholeheartedly in his cause. More than that, he believes that he is the one that can — and will — return order and stability to the galaxy. He is relentless in his pursuit of his goals be they the map that will lead him to his uncle or some obscure artefact that will help him achieve a greater understanding of his abilities.

↪ PERCEPTIVE. Despite what is bound to be a rocky first impression, Ren knows people. He understands them and what makes them tick. More importantly he knows how to turn this information to his advantage (generally) and employs this particular understanding to great effect over the course of his work as an interrogator.

↪ ADAPTABLE. Above all, Ren is a survivor. A significant part of who he is and what he does entails him traveling to the most inhospitable corners of the galaxy. He is generally calm under pressure (barring the rare exception) and entirely self-sufficient.

● weaknesses:

↪ GUARDED. Whether we choose to lay the blame on his unconventional childhood or his present circumstance, it's clear that Ren isn't here to make friends. He has issues with trust and with letting people close — possibly because in allowing him that close he is making it easier for them to strike at him, something not entirely unlikely to happen in the circles he moves in.

↪ RUTHLESS. This could be considered the flipside of Ren's drive and dedication. He is determined to see his goals achieved. Determined to such a degree that he will do whatever he deems necessary in order to make it happen. This includes the wholesale slaughter of an entire village during his pursuit of the map that would lead him to his uncle's hiding place.

↪ CRITICAL. While not exactly the type to boast Ren is nonetheless mindful of his strength, ability and how this coupled with his years of training has made him an exceptional asset to the First Order and its cause. He is also acutely aware of any flaws in himself and in others — and will be quick to communicate them to the person in question in the most bluntly direct manner possible. Social graces are for politicians.
