CRAU Game History:

• Ren arrived in Eudio to learn that this was the second time he’d come to the city. Having no memory of this, he was understandably concerned and a bit annoyed. Everyone’s caginess about this only served to acerbate this.

• In between this Ren meets and befriends: Adam Sackler and Caleb Smith (who knew him previously) as well as Bodhi Rook and Danny Rayburn (who didn’t). Despite the awkward resemblances, this hasn’t really troubled Ren overly much – aside from Adam’s insistence that he’s actually the older brother in their rather bizarre pseudo-fraternal relationship – and he considers Adam something that is approaching family.

• Bodhi, meanwhile, offered something of a fascination; his mind broken by circumstances unlike any Ren had previously encountered. Ren offers to assist Bodhi in piecing himself back together, largely to see if he can, and a friendship slowly develops as a result. He also encounters Cassian Andor, discusses Jedi history, and reach a tenuous sort of respect despite Cassian’s history with the Jedi and Ren being a rather shady guy.

• Tenuous efforts were made to reconnect with General Hux following Ren’s return, and while initial attempts had failed they were working their way toward figuring out where they stood.

• He also befriended Margo Hansen, who shared his appreciation for spicy food; Axel Johnson, his first ever vampire; and Danny Rayburn, who, following an experiment with late night texting wound up stealing his cherry like the laziest cat scooping a goldfish from a bowl.

• Danny offers him a job as a bartender, which he takes; he’s surprisingly not awful at it for all he’s not much of a talker. He and Bodhi begin sharing late night text messages about thunes.

• Ren learns that Orson Krennic is in the city and bears a similarly unfortunate resemblance to Danny; this wouldn’t be an issue but then Danny had his run-in with Jyn Erso via the Cuddlr app and decided to try to drown himself. He rescued Danny, they had a conversation in which they loosely danced around the fact that Danny should probably not do anything like that again.

• Ren makes inquiries about the Jade Shrine (that he’d visited with Adam Sackler shortly before learning about Danny) and had been planning to head out that way again to investigate further before Eudio shut its doors.

Incentive:

Previously, Ren’s incentive had been to ensure his recovery from the bowcaster wound he’d obtained and hopefully his broader survival of Starkiller’s disintegration. While the wound does appear to be healing, he’s dubious as to whether his survival of Starkiller is assured.

Add to that, in the kerfuffle surrounding Eudio’s closing, he seems to have misplaced his LINK beads, and is kind of pissed about that. So, if he could have those returned to him he’d definitely not complain.

Threat Level:

Mid-to-high. Ren’s threat level is largely circumstantial; he is dangerous, yes, but is largely reactionary and given the set-up of the city (as well as his familiarity with this arrangement following his visit to Eudio) it is unlikely that Ren will be picking any fights.

However, he won’t shy away from finishing any fights that are picked with him, even if they do end in violence.

↪ 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.

↪ 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.

↪ 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.

• FORCE SENSE. The ability to detect fluctuations in the Force. This typically enables you to pick up on the surface thoughts and emotions of a person.
• MIND PROBE. The ability to telepathically extract information from a person's mind. It's typically incredibly painful, due in fact to the mind's natural inclination to rebel against any invasion.
• FORCE GRIP. The ability to grip an object and hold it in place through the Force. This basically includes freezing individuals and/or stopping things like blaster-bolts mid-attack.
• FORCE CHOKE. This ability, made infamous by Darth Vader, is when a Force user slowly exerts pressure on their opponent's throat until they either faint from lack of oxygen or their windpipe is crushed.
