abilities permission + villainry
Amplifier: Kirigan can amplify the powers/magic/abilities of another person to a ridiculously intense degree. Obviously, in his world, being a living amplifier works for Grisha's powers, but I am open to it having a similar effect on other people's abilities. It works as soon as he touches someone or they touch him. This amplification can also make people feel ~drawn~ to him if they do have powers/abilities even without having to touch him. When he touches someone where this does work with, they will be able to feel an incredible surge in their powers- he has no control over turning this on or off, it's just what he is. You're free to have your character realize that he is making their power/magic/ability stronger as well. However, you can also just have it not work for your characters' powers/abilities if you'd prefer not to. :)
He is also a shadow summoner, but that ability involves manipulating shadows in all kinds of fun ways.
Perceptive: I take his background from the prequel in the books since they mentioned wanting to have filmed that for season 1 so we know they take that into consideration for movie him. As such, he has been trained since he was a literal child in how to be incredibly perceptive about other people, their motives, their tells, and also to be incredibly perceptive about a situation/strategic about it. For instance, he is able to tell what huts signify someone having greater status, if an injury is new/old based on the wear on clothing, if someone is lying based on other people and the sound of someone's voice. This is all when he was thirteen so he's much more perceptive now. However, this is RP, and I do not want to be godmode-y so if he ever narrates/perceives something that you'd prefer him not to then please let me know. I will always try to write in the reasons why he perceives what he does, and I will base that on like actual body language that has been in the narration or dialogue that is said out loud.

Villain-y
The Darkling is the antagonist of his canon. However, he is a bad guy who has very specific motives. This means he doesn't really kill/harm people without reason. He has a goal, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal regardless of who it may hurt, regardless of the collateral damage it may create. He cares very deeply about Grisha and about creating safety for them in a world that has always hunted, experimented on, killed, and persecuted them. Think Magneto, but fantasy style.
With most characters, he is likely to lie at least somewhat about himself at some point- mostly in telling half-truths or withholding the whole truth while also being capable of genuine emotion and actual truth. He can also be manipulative at times if he has need to be.
On that note, he will be focused on finding a way to return home in Hell so that will be his main goal currently. He will be searching for any way to do so, looking for allies and people who will follow his instructions cause he's a Leader tm.
Note I would prefer not to do threads where characters who have no reason to believe he is a bad guy come at him aggressively/assuming he has bad intentions for no reason. He does not come off like a bad guy at all- he is well spoken and polite and often genuine in his responses to others. Other than wearing black, he doesn't give that vibe unless your character is psychic/can see auras which then absolutely lets talk. Same with any other assumption about what the CR will be based on the meta knowledge that he's not a good guy.
Opt out: If any of this is not something you want to interact with, please let me know below with a comment or PM me. I totally understand. No reasoning needed. :)
