In-Character (Information)

blanket warning »»

Ken struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts/feelings pretty regularly, and as such, his inner monologue as well as dialogue can touch on suicidal ideations. He also has a power that's activated by firing a fake gun pointed at his head. In general, unless plotted otherwise, you won't have to worry about him dumping that on your character on first meeting, and I would prefer to talk to you OOCly first before pulling any of these cards.

physical information »»

Physically, he's healthy as a horse. He's canonically pretty athletic and doesn't have any illnesses. Species wise, he's 100% human.

mental information »»

Persona are a manifestation of the user's psyche, so it's not that he has some outside entity possessing him or anything, but because calling his Persona has given her physical form, I treat her as something that resides in his mind as something sentient but not independent instead of simply melting back into his mind when inactive. Characters of the psychic type are free to sense her if they should attempt to take a look. Otherwise, Ken struggles with (so far) untreated depression and PTSD as a result of having his mother killed right in front of him then being alone in seeing the Dark Hour for two years. That's the gist.

In-Character (Permissions)

physical contact »»

Go right on ahead, but be warned that if Ken isn't fully aware of who your character is and his safety around them, there are high chances of him taking it as a potential attack and backing right out of it. He's opening up to hugs! But his reactions to getting his hair ruffled can range anywhere from a surprised look to slapping the hand away entirely.

romantic/sexual relationships »»

Not to say 12 year olds aren't capable of genuinely loving somebody, but Ken's nowhere near being that category of preteen. None of that CLAMP stuff for him. That said, I don't think would even be an issue, but it's a definite no to anything sexual with him.

injuring/killing »»

Ken's no stranger to fighting or injuries and he has a tendency to look straight at death and spit in its face. He actually has some pretty handy healing skills so please keep that in mind, but he's easy to injure because he has a poor sense of self-preservation despite it. I have a specific character arc in mind for Ken in MOM so I would like to avoid killing him, but if your character wants to achieve something close to it, I'm happy to plot with you! Please just keep in mind his healing skills and the inevitability of some very, very angry cast and CR that your character will have to say hello to.

hacking »»

Ken's a pretty smart modern-day child so he knows how to use technology just fine but he doesn't know the first thing about locking things that aren't the standard "turning things into a private feed" option, so it won't be difficult to hack into his stuff unless you're blatantly leaving traces of it.

Powers

persona: nemesis »»

Ken and the other members of SEES utilize the power of Persona, powerful creatures described as being its users true self. For explanation's sake, they're monster-like things that dwell in the psyche of those with the Potential and can be called forth to be used in battle using a tool they call an Evoker. Ken's Persona, Nemesis, has the ability to block to light-based attacks but is weak to darkness-based attacks (Ken himself also has the same immunity/weakness), and it is also capable of using light- and electricity-based skills as well as a couple of healing/recovery skills.

spear conjuring/fighting »»

ability to conjure a spear via superpower so he doesn't have to carry a bit old weapon that's longer than he's tall around all the time. Other than being magically appearing, his spear won't have any special abilities. It can only exist for as long as he's conscious, and its sharpness and strength of the handle will be affected by his mental strength -- if he's tired, distracted, or distressed, or not in 'peak condition' in any way, the blade will be duller and the entire weapon easier to break.

enhanced speed/jumping »»

ability to run at freeway speeds (40~50mph if he works hard enough to build up to it), as well as the ability to kick off the ground and leap at relatively inhuman heights. Like up to the height of a three-story building.
