canon point: About a week or two after Horizon, gamewise, but it’s been a few months for him in CS
previous cr:
He has been at
counted_stars for the past few months and while he has’t really had any monumental CR as of yet, there is some development that I’d like to bring across. Namely that he’s spoken to Shepard and apologised for what happened on Horizon, and subsequently found out that she’s banging a space raptor. He’s kind of cut up about that, but has started to come to terms with it and move on from Shepard. He has also grown closer to Ashley Williams, who dies in his world, and has consequently learnt of the existence of other versions of their existence. There are a few people he’ll recognise, like Bethany Hawke, but nothing that’s really dramatically applicable.
history:
Here! His Shepard is a light side paragon lady who romanced him, saved him over Ash and rescued the council.
personality: On the axis of morality, Kaidan’s pretty light-side. He doesn’t kill unless necessary - ‘necessary’ generally being in defense of his life or that of someone he cares for, or to stop someone giant asshole trying to destroy the galaxy. Also geth. Geth are fair game. And Cerberus. For the most part, he’s a level-headed sort of guy who likes to think things through before he does them - over thinks, typically. He’s loosened up a little due to influence from Commander Shepard, but experiences in his youth have resulted in him being fairly controlled, with respect to both his abilities and his emotions. He’s seen the dangers that acting without thinking, lashing out instead of being calm and rational about a situation can bring, and tends to carry that lesson around with him.
He doesn’t lack for humour, though - he’s not a laugh a minute kind of bloke, but he does have a dry sort of wit and isn’t afraid to make self-deprecating comments when something points out inconsistencies about his behaviour. While in general he manages to be calm and collected, when he’s around someone that he cares about a lot, he loses some of that. Okay, maybe a lot of that. He kind of derpifies when he’s in a potentially awkward emotional situation, and while he’s learnt his lesson about not physically lashing out, if someone hurts his man feelings, he can lose some of that carefully crafted control and lash out verbally.
Kaidan is an honest man, not one for subterfuge or lying, even when it might better serve him to keep quiet about certain things. If he sees an injustice, he won’t hesitate to speak out and take action against it, and that includes against superiors. He does have a tendency to give way to the opinions of those he respects, but the kind of people who earn his respect are invariably honest, hardworking people in the same general area of morality as him. He’s seen a few people make some bad decisions, and that includes himself; he’s not afraid to caution someone against heading down that path if he thinks they might have cause to. In a world where each species tends to view every other one with suspicion, if not outright malice, Kaidan has taken a potentially surprising lesson from his mistreatment at the hands of a turian - rather than hating all aliens as a result of this experience, he determined that every species has its assholes and angels, just like humans. He judges people by their actions, and tries to keep an eye on the bigger picture - although admittedly, sometimes his feelings can get in the way of that.
abilities/powers:
Kaidan is a biotic, which basically means ‘yey Force Powers!’ but with science and in his case, debilitating migraines. But yeah, he can throw shit around with his mind (more details
here), at the expense of getting hideous headaches due to his older implants.
He can also shoot things.
