One of us has to keep fighting.

CAL KESTIS

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

PERSONALITY

SKILLS/ABILITIES

• THE FORCE | telekinesis & extrasensory perception.
• FORCE SLOW | An ability that comes very naturally to Cal, as didn't have to re-learn it at the start of the first game: he can freeze objects/people/even energy (like blaster bolts) in a bubble of dramatically slowed time where they are not subjected to things like the effects of gravity or inertia. He can affect massive machine structures as well as large groups of people, with no overt tax on his ability to focus or move, though if he strikes at the things caught in his slow bubble they will return to regular time. He uses this in bursts of a few seconds at a time.
• PSYCHOMETRY | Cal has the rare power to sense the histories of objects by interacting with them. Depending on the potency of the association of feelings with those objects he can involuntarily experience complete visual/audio/emotional memories, or on the other end of the spectrum he can purposefully seek out a simple impression of the way a person felt or the thoughts they had when they last touched the thing. He describes these as "echoes" left behind in the force. He used to try to shut out echoes of his friends to allow them more privacy, but at current canonpoint is liable to become a lot more invasive and nosy out of a sense of paranoia, whomp whomp. (Will create opt-in permissions when in games for this power.)
• MIND TRICKS | Line_Info
• LIGHTSABER | Cal's lightsaber is double-ended and can be reconfigured on the fly to fight with just one side ignited as a standard lightsaber, both sides ignited, or even split in two so he can wield one in each hand (or throw one while utilizing the other.) He also has a custom emitter that creates a much longer and more powerful blade (with comically tiny crossgoard) on just one end, but he generally can't swap to that one on the fly and has to plan ahead enough to install it or remove it depending on what he intends to do for the day. Cal is a highly skilled physical fighter at his current canonpoint, and what he lacks in the raw Force power of many of Star Wars' important Jedi/Sith, he makes up for by being particularly scrappy and vicious in the field. He supplements his lightsaber with a blaster, and tends to throw elbows and knees more often than your average classically trained lightsaber duelist.
• RIGGER/SCRAPPER | While working in the scrapper's guild, Cal's job was to climb up defunct starships miles long/tall without safety equipment and install either the demolitions or the safety rigging for the rest of the workers to follow. He is excellent at squeezing through tight spaces, climbing and throwing himself across wide empty spaces at downright reckless speeds, and therefore tends to be extremely hard to pin down as a result. Due to his half a decade experience with pulling machines apart, he also makes a decent mechanic (at least for star wars style vehicles/droids.) He carries a scrapper multitool (that he primarily uses for welding) at all times, and has more recently acquired an ascension cable as well, which he uses more or less like a grappling hook.
• BD-1 | Cal's constant companion travels literally everywhere with him and has his own set of skills. BD is a type of droid built specifically for exploring hostile/uninhabited terrain, and has built in scanning and map-making abilities that aid in Cal's constant wanderings, along with short range jet propulsion and a small motor that lets him pull Cal up ziplines. BD has a few other non-standard attachments that he has acquired over the course of the games, including a scomp link that allows him to slice (hack) computers, electronic locks, and even other droids, and an emitter that lets him fire small electrical charges. If it weren't for BD-1, Cal would have died SO many times already.
