Name: Ben Solo (Kylo Ren)
Canon: Star Wars
Canon Point: From the end of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Kylo Ren is now the Supreme Leader of the First Order, but at the cost of his growing bond with Rey. Though he now has power and agency (after killing Snoke and nearly eradicating the Resistance), he's more shaken and uncertain than ever.

Personality: Kylo Ren possesses a number of strengths that are, generally speaking, aimed in all the wrong ways and applied to all the wrong things. However, they point to a capacity to be truly great, if only he'd pull his head out of his ass.

In order to achieve his level of control over the Force, he's is clearly somebody who possesses not only raw talent, but the drive to keep studying, training, and pushing himself to master his abilities. He isn't content to sit on his laurels; he must excel. As the heir to Darth Vader's legacy, he's following in his grandfather's footsteps to bring order to the galaxy. His ambitions are cruel and, frankly, terrible, but they also show that he's somebody who can't and won't be complacent. In this sense, he's very much like his mother.

Kylo's bearing suggests some degree of discipline, which ties back to his driven nature. He's somebody who can (with effort) push aside sentimentality to make difficult decisions and achieve what he believes must be done-- at least in the moment. Sure, it may leave him tortured and fragmented after, but he can steel his resolve and make sacrifices when necessary. If he were to dedicate himself to something worthwhile, this aspect of his personality would be a remarkable asset, the mark of a true leader.

Ultimately, his greatest strength is the one that he tries to deny: at his core, Kylo Ren has his father's heart. For all his cruelty and viciousness, for all of the terrible acts he commits (and they are many), that flicker of goodness inside of him still refuses to be snuffed out. Where his grandfather was seduced by the Dark Side, Ren's seduced by the Light. He's not beyond saving; he has the potential to turn back, and he knows it (and fears it).

Kylo Ren's weaknesses exist on the same spectrum as his strengths, just at opposite ends, resulting in a constant struggle to overcome them and achieve his full potential. He's constantly picking at the wounds of his past, leaving them raw, exposed and unable to heal. This is what lies beneath many of his weaknesses.

Ren's full of rage and resentment, leading to a sort of tunnel vision where he refuses to see past his own sense of having been wronged by his family. In his mind, whatever he does is just and right, and he won't listen to anything else. For all that he claims that the past must die, Kylo's the one who can't move past it.

Ren feels things very strongly, and when he isn't masked, he wears his emotions plain on his face. He's given to explosive fits of rage, and can throw destructive tantrums, attacking others, damaging equipment with his lightsaber, and even smashing his own mask to pieces by repeatedly punching it into a wall.

His conflicted nature leads him to lash out and overcompensate in his actions, resulting in a pretty consistent track record of BAD DECISIONS. Whenever he's given a way out, an opportunity to come back from the darkness (from his father, from Rey), he doubles down on his worst impulses. He struggles between love and hatred, light and dark, etc., and he repeatedly makes the conscious decision to pick hatred, anger, darkness, and revenge. And unfortunately, he'll remain trapped in this cycle until he can finally find the strength to let go of his past, let old wounds heal, and embrace his potential to be like his father, rather than his grandfather.

Or, better yet, grow into his potential to be his own person.

CRAU Development: Please provide a quick explanation of any character or relationship development that has happened in the character's previous game(s), that would make the character differ in personality from their canon representation.

Powers/Abilities: Like the other Skywalkers, Kylo Ren's Force-sensitive, possessing a great degree of raw power and potential. Here's an overview of Force abilities! In Ren's case, he's trained with both the Light and the Dark Sides of the Force, and is shown excelling in telekinesis and telepathy. Specifically, he can use the Force to freeze people in place, stop a blaster bolt mid-air, and forcefully (heh) throw them around like ragdolls. With telepathy, Ren doesn't seem to rely on subtler techniques like Jedi mind tricks, but rather takes an invasive approach, favoring probing the minds of his victims to take the information he desires. Because he lacks the self-control of, say, Darth Vader, his own uses of the Force are more explosive, blunt, and heavy handed than his grandfather's more impassive cruelty.

Also he's got a pretty neat Force Bond going with Rey, though she's currently leaving him on read because he just tried to kill all her friends. Again.

He's also a skilled lightsaber combatant, and he possesses a breadth of knowledge about the Force, both from his Jedi training and his research into the Dark Side.
