⯌ Visual
A tall, pale wraith of exquisite beauty! ...Or at least of exquisite androgyny, if you don't have taste.
His eyes are purple, hair silver, and his skin is a bit on the side of.. weird pale. Grayish tinge? Unearthly.
Kuja's hair is long, features a crest of feathers atop his head, and is layered with more feathers throughout. They are not decorative. He also wears a few hints of make-up, whenever possible: red eye-shadow, purple lipstick and nails. His final most notable trait is his long monkey's tail, that has banded, silver fur. It's prehensile, but he's not actually all that practiced at using it for.. anything.
He is generally pretty scantily clad if he can get away with it. If he can't, he's at least going to find some way to make it provocative.
⯌ Demeanor
Graceful and arrogant. This man is terrifically full of himself, and likes to speak sweetly even the most poisonous words. He's always thinking, thinking, thinking - and acts as if convinced everyone he speaks to is always three steps behind him.
⯌ Sound
A high, sing-song voice that straddles the line between masculine and feminine. Loves to put in part-TI-cular emphasis and intonation. Could be a countertenor? (He's actually a contralto.)
⯌ Scent
Soap and perfume! He likes to switch up the exact perfume, he gets bored with too much of the same -- but he likes amber a lot. In Trance, he smells like electric and animal fur.
⯌ Master of Magic
Kuja's a red mage, aka capable of casting both white (healing, protective) and black (destructive) magic, and he's quite accomplished with both. He's never carried a weapon in his life and never plans to start, because he doesn't need one. He also has a few spells he uses for mundane things outside of battle -- his favorite is Float, which lets him do just that, but there's also the ones he uses to change his appearance in a few different ways. You know this guy's actually a redhead?
⯌ Trance
Thanks to the second soul now inhabiting his body, when in a life-or-death situation Kuja is capable of entering a state of Trance - a temporary flood of power heralded by a cool light show that also dramatically changes his appearance. When in Trance, Kuja can do all kinds of wild shit he normally couldn't manage -- he was already pretty OP, but now things get ridiculous. In canon, when he first transforms, he stays in Trance for an unknown but unusually long amount of time - every time after that I'm gonna say he can stay transformed, like, ten minutes tops. And ten minutes is kind of pushing it. He'll be feeling pretty busted if he does it that long.
⯌ Soul Manipulation
Genomes were created to be vessels for outside souls, and though Kuja has his own, he's no exception. He's capable of taking another soul into his body, and in general is able to manipulate the... stuff... of dead souls, able to agitate the ire of the dead to create monsters, and to funnel them into making living dolls with inage magical powers. They are so, so cute, and also quite capable of becoming spontaneously sapient.
⯌ Weird Psychic Space Furry Shit
Genomes have a couple of weird things going on with them. They can commune naturally with Terran technology, know the language by instinct, command many of its creatures, and also they have telepathy????? All of these particular abilities are framed, imo, more like psychic powers than traditional magic.
Most of them never grow older than the stage of maturity they were created at, with some notable exceptions. Kuja, personally, has never aged a day in his life.

⯌ Backtag
Always. I mean it. If I see a tag suddenly from years ago I will be like "holy shit lmao" and hop right back in there. Backdating is great too........ sometimes you just gotta fill in some blanks....
⯌ Fourthwall
Let's talk about it! Depending on how you want to do it, I could be interested.
⯌ Thread-Hopping
Love it! But ask if it's a really intense or plotty thread.
⯌ Shipping
Roleplaying a ship with Kuja would be so fun for me it would practically be decadent... he's kind of an emotional uphill climb to genuinely bond withso like, slow burn city, but he'll do lighthearted fun or smut any day of the week. If you're interested, talk to me!
Also, full disclosure is that by nature I'm a multishipper... if you want to write an exclusive relationship let's talk about it! But by default I lean to not, and Kuja will flirt around.
⯌ Off-Limits
Any kind of dubcon scenes or beyond I will only do on an "access list only" post/some other private platform. Generally what I like to do is either start the scene on a restricted entry, or post a comment with a link showing it's moving to one. Referencing it happened elsewhere is a-okay, but I prefer to strictly control direct access to anything I participate in that's graphic and blurry about consent. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy doing it, though. Feel free to hit me up.
⯌ Opt-out / Other
Kuja's at a part of his character arc where he's preparing to do MASSIVE amounts of trouble-making. He's by default evaluating other characters and weighing if he wants to try and use them for his Big Plan. If you'd prefer he don't try to drag you in, please comment below and let me know. Comments are screened for privacy.
If you'd prefer your characters not to interact with Kuja even in general, that's totally cool, too! I know he's not for everyone and there's no hard feelings. Again, comments on this post are screened for privacy, so just lemme know.
Also, feel free to just, like, ask questions, if this permissions post doesn't cover something you'd like to know!

In-Character
⯌ Physical Contact
Absolutely! Kuja's reactions to this can vary... a lot. He's mystified in particular by casual, friendly touch. You know he's the vile villain of this story, don't you?
⯌ Mental Contact
If someone read Kuja's mind I would like to give them some galoshes to help them slosh around in there. Have fun.
⯌ Flirt
Absolutely! This is great fun for him. Playing to the roles of romance? He could do that any day of the week.
⯌ Fight
Absolutely. I love fight scenes. If Kuja thinks he's stronger than another character, he'll toy with them rather than just getting the damn fight over with.
⯌ Injury
Yes. He deserves it.
⯌ Death
Kuja knows he can come back from dying from physical harm now, so death is fair game <3
⯌ Soul Sensing / Heart Sensing
Hi, here starts headcanons! Please put on your helmet.
Kuja's soul is a lil weird. Close inspection will reveal signs that it was originally.. sort of a chunky stew of other souls, that came together and made something entirely new. It also has.. uh..a wound.
There's something VERY concerning about the structural integrity of this soul. If you're able to see vivid details about souls, it's clear a very long time ago, a purposeful incision was made, and left to fester and widen. As a result, his soul's in a steady degrade... this is exactly what a soul feels like when it's doomed to break apart, and soon.
Let's hear it for January!
Alongside his own soul, there's a second soul inhabiting his body - that of Queen Brahne. It's a totally normal human soul, which strikes a dramatic difference sitting right next to Kuja's. We basically.. get 0 information about how this works, in canon? So that leaves TON of leeway for doing whatever the hell we want with that! Woohoo!
