‟I cannot tell you who you must become or where the line is drawn. There are no easy choices. These are dark times and we have few allies.
If there is any hope of surviving, we must stand against the darkness.”

— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —
APPEARANCE 6'0 tall, lean and twunky. Red hair, green eyes. Lots of freckles. Tattoo on the inside of his right forearm. Visible scars on his face: diagonal cuts across his right eyebrow, lower lip, the bridge of his nose, and a long, straight burn across his jaw. Plenty more scars under his clothes, but that's between him and the Cosmic Force. :) Perpetual 5 o'clock (or 6 or 7 o'clock) shadow and air of exhaustion.
CLOTHING Grungy scifi utilitarian. In the Free Cities, this translates to functional, non-descript steampunk, usually in some form of basic rolled-sleeve shirt, vest, and pants tucked into boots. Some buckles and greebles, but no frills. Main color palette of blues, browns, oranges, and other earthy tones, but not afraid of pink. Loves ponchos?? Do not give him access to ponchos.
DEMEANOR Easygoing and friendly, but reserved. Earnest and kind. Guarded, but hides it well. Good at making casual conversation without actually saying anything about himself. Tries to avoid attention at all costs, but Circumstances usually prevent that. Sassy and loves a good quip. Carries himself like a fighter, but a reluctant one. A little jumpy. Habitually restless and cannot sit still to save his life, except when meditating.
AURAL Sounds like this! Boyish and a little raspy. Outer Rim (i.e. American) accent. Tends to not say much and let others do the talking.
OLFACTORY Earth, rain, and leather. Petrichor. When working, smells like metal, oil, and grease.
— SKILLS —
As a Jedi, Cal can use the Force, the energy that connects all living things in a galaxy far, far away. Typically, Force users have access to a variety of abilities, like superhuman reflexes and athleticism, sensing incoming danger or the "will" of the Force, some light empathy and telepathy, etc. Some of Cal's notable abilities include:
TELEKINESIS Moving objects and people with the Force.
FORCE STASIS The ability to "slow down" objects and people with the Force for a short period of time.
MIND TOUCH The infamous Jedi Mind Trick. Using the Force to influence the thoughts and/or actions of other sentient beings, including confusing them into attacking their allies.
FORCE SENSE Feeling the pull or will of the Force, sensing the Force/life energy in other people, prophetic visions or dreams, getting the ol' "I have a bad feeling about this," and other mystical nonsense that's convenient for the plot.
FORCE DASH Briefly increasing movement speed.
ENHANCED REFLEXES AND ATHLETICISM Running across walls, jumping way farther than a normal human, falling from great heights and not dying, sick parkour, dodging blaster shots, deflecting blaster bolts with a lightsaber, etc.
PSYCHOMETRY An extremely rare Force ability that is innate, not learned; users are able to "see" memories, even memories that are centuries old, from objects by touching them. Cal has a good amount of control over his psychometry, but particularly strong or traumatic experiences can overwhelm him.

— PERMISSIONS —
PHYSICAL AFFECTION Yes! Generally, he doesn't mind casual platonic touches (handshakes, backslaps, etc) from friends/acquaintances, but might get jumpy around touches from strangers or anything romantic. Someone please give him a hug, though, because he's just a touch-starved little guy.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE Yep. Though he tries to de-escalate first, he'll fight back if attacked.
MIND READING Yes, but he has some mental defenses because of his Jedi training.
ROMANCE Good fucking luck!! He's silly in love with his goth girlfriend and would politely reject all advances, but that's if he even realizes they're advances. (He's an idiot.) I'm always down for unrequited crushes and flirting, though, because it's hilarious how oblivious he is.
OTHER This is blanket permission for characters who can sense life energy/force/spirit/magic/mana/whatever to sense it in him! Also, if his psychometry ever comes into play (e.g. your character hands him something of theirs), I'll def be reaching out for details :)
