⯌ 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?
⯌ 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 flirts around, befitting his well-cultivated image as a libertine.
⯌ 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 isn't for everybody. He's a strong, self-obsessed personality that often manipulates or hurts others, and all the narc mind games of it all can get tiresome and overwhelming. This is before the character development hits, too, so he is... particularly odious at this canon point.
If you'd prefer your characters not to interact with him, 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 finicky and a bit unpredictable about how he'll take it, and didn't.. grow up with stuff like 'casual physical affection,' so he doesn't generally reach out to touch people without some conscious motivation.
⯌ 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. Kuja likes to taunt and toy with opponents, though he really doesn't enjoy exerting himself or getting his hands dirty fighting directly. He refuses to learn to use a weapon because he feels his magic is more than enough.
⯌ Injury
Yes.
⯌ Death
Sure! Talk to me about it but, sure! If he dies it resets his 'soul going to break' counter, lmfao.
⯌ 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 clear details about souls, it's clear a very long time ago, a purposeful incision was made, and left to fester and widen.
As of joining Seasons, he has about four and a half months to live before it degrades to the point of, uh, break. Lucky for Kuja this isn't a permadeath game! Unlucky for Kuja it's solely his soul dying, rather than his body, so... uh... maybe he walks around for a few days as a weird blank until the flower blooms. That would be kind of cool.
