CAL KESTIS

"we will always struggle, but that is the test."

▶ basics

name. Cal Kestis
canon. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
canon point. post-game (14 BBY, 5 years post-Revenge of the Sith)
age. no official age but ~18
tl;dr. A young Jedi Padawan (read: apprentice space wizard) who survived Order 66, a Jedi genocide carried out by the big bad Empire, and went into hiding for five years as a scrapper. Plot ensues, and he spends the rest of the game hopping around the galaxy searching for a holocron of Force-sensitive children that will rebuild the destroyed Jedi Order. The ending is somewhat spoiled by a movie that came out in 1977.

▶ first impressions

hair. Red
eyes. Green
height. 6'0" (182cm)
build. Tall and lean and kind of scrappy-looking. In surprisingly good shape — like everything looks normal until he suddenly free climbs a sheer cliff face and doesn't even get winded.
notable. Has a tattoo on the inside of his right forearm and visible scars on his face, the most noticeable of which are cuts across his eyebrow, lower lip, the bridge of his nose, and a large, straight burn across his jaw, from his cheek to neck, just under his ear, which some might recognize as coming from a blaster. He's (almost) always carrying around his droid, BD-1, on his back and his double-ended lightsaber clipped to his belt.
fashion. Oh my god, the ponchos. It's a disaster. He's a poor fugitive, so other than the ponchos his clothes are very non-descript, functional, and well-worn.
demeanor. A little guarded (he's working on it), but a nice kid. He's a little awkward in situations he's not used to, but when it comes to fighting and Jedi-type business, he shows a lot more confidence.
voice. Sounds like this!
olfactory. Metal, rain, and leather. Petrichor.

▶ ic permissions

flirting. Please do, it'll make him blush.
physical affection. Absolutely yes, this boy is touch-starved.
physical violence. Totally fine! Cal is generally pacifistic and will try to deescalate first, but does know how to fight back — please feel free to ping me to work out details.
mental information. Because of his training in the Force, it's going to be hard to get into his head, and he'll probably try to stop you, but go for it. Feel free to ping me to work out details here too.
relationships. I live for friendships, found families, romantic relationships... basically yes to everything. Shipping might be a little slow burn because he's from a monastic order that discourages attachments :')
triggers. He's a little bit claustrophobic in small moving vehicles... like, oh, escape pods, for example
warnings. His backstory involves war, genocide, and the death of a mentor/parent figure, so that may come up. Please feel free to opt out below if you'd like for me to avoid those topics!
miscellany. Cal is psychometric, so he can touch objects and "see" the memories/feelings attached to them. If it's a particularly strong or traumatic memory, it can overwhelm him! So if your character gives him something I'll probably be contacting you for details. :)

tagging pace. I usually try to tag every 1-2 days. I love to boomerang with people if we're both online!
backtagging. Fine with me! I try to wrap up smalltalk-y threads quickly, but if it's a meaty thread I'll keep it going for a while
threadhopping. Okay for text spam, check with me for action
fourthwalling. General Jedi/Star Wars awareness is cool with me (I think it's funny tbh), since I don't expect modern characters even remotely aware of pop culture to like, not know what a Jedi or a lightsaber is, just please don't infodump or tell him he's fictional :(
action vs. prose. My preference is action, but I'll match whoever I'm threading with
triggers. None!
spoilers. Star Wars is... huge, and I'm up to date with the movies, The Mandalorian, Clone Wars and Rebels, but I don't mind if you spoil me for anything I'm not familiar with

▶ opt out

As mentioned above, he has a psychometry ability that allows him to see the memories/feelings attached to objects when he touches them, so if you would like to opt out of that please let me know!

Also, as Cal is coming from the very end of the game, please let me know if you would like me to avoid spoilers, or if you would like to just opt out of any CR completely.
