Alright, so...here's the skinny for those unfamiliar with Star Wars beyond the movie. Luke Skywalker, from the canon point that I draw him, has essentially become the last of the old Jedi, and the first of the new. He is the founder of the New Jedi Order, and the current Grandmaster. That said, he has mastered an ENORMOUS variety of Force Powers, enough to easily fill several books. I will not be detailing all of them. please check his Wiki entry http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker if you're curious.
Here are the big ones:
1) The Jedi Mind Trick: Does not work unless you SPECIFICALLY allow it. I will *ALWAYS* ask if you think your character might be susceptible to Luke's psychic influence. He isn't the type to abuse it, but its worth noting.
2) Force Telekinesis/Push/Pull: Does not work on objects with a mystical connection to the owner. In no canon can a Jedi steal a lightsaber from someone during a duel. If you attack Luke with a blaster...well...I'd consider that fair game though. I will, of course, ask permission. Luke is also skilled at using the power for defense, creating telekinetic barriers against energy attacks, so if you attack him with that, expect your magic to at best be absorbed, and at worst flying back at you..
3) Force Telepathy: Luke is quite adept at a benign form of telepathy/psychoempathy known by Light Side Jedi. This works similarly to a "call" as even in canon it is described as requiring permission to "accept." However, it has no deep mind-reading benefits, and offers Luke zero control over you. In more advanced forms it can also be described as "Battle Meditation" in the sense that it can link Luke to whomever, allowing them to fight in tandem better, amplifying morale and demoralizing enemies. It does also give him the ability to sense surface thoughts and emotions. He can't force his way any deeper, he's not that powerful, but he's very, very good at sensing emotions. Psychoempathy is a sense that he can't turn off without effort and so he passively reads emotion, but if your character has some reason to wall his/her mind up against it, let me know!
4) Force Senses: Luke's senses are much sharper than most, making attempts at sneaking up on him, lying to his face, aggression, fear, and other strong emotions difficult to mask. Moreover, he has a distinctive ability to feel Evil, as well as arcane power. Unless you specifically try to hide it, I will probably assume he can pick up on certain things, but again I will ask. Over journals, in writing, and that sort of thing this wouldn't apply, merely in-person interaction. For all you villains, Luke isn't an "attack on sight" type of guy though, as he does embrace the Unifying Force. If you cause...say.. "A Great Disturbance in the Force...on the other hand..." you may find him to be a bit more aggressive.
Permissions!
I as a player, and Luke as a person, have no problem with just about any interactions that are not hostile. Luke's a nice guy, he likes hugs, he's friendly. If you want to spar/fight/kill Luke, you really will need to talk to me first. Luke is basically a one-man army in many respects, and any plots that involve him in battle I would prefer discussed in advance.
As far as 4th Walling goes, if you want to, sure. I don't think Luke would mind a few fanboys. However, if you want to 4th Wall, please don't bring up the whole Twincest thing. I hate that. Also, don't spoil stuff for Luke's future. If you must, pretend the last EU book written in your canon was Dark Empire. Prequel knowledge is fine, though realize that the Emperor did wipe out most records, so he may not know his own history.
If there are any concerns about the Force, please post them here. If you would like to give Luke permissions to do things please let me know here as well. I promise, Luke plays nice.
