OOC INFORMATION NAME: Rana! (You might have known me by a different handle when I played Alina here before but it's still me) CONTACT:hellbender or hellbender#1778 ABOUT YOU: Heyo! I'm a tired government professional, my plurk tends to be a combination of both real life and rp, so don't worry about adding me if you'd rather not. I'm good with plotting via private plurk, discord, DW pms, or OOC posts.
IC INFORMATION CHARACTER NAME: Alina Starkov CANON: Shadow & Bone (Netflix, but sometimes I pull thematic elements from the books) SIGN: The Hanged Man FACTION: Free Cities Baby
CHARACTER INFORMATION: A dumb, well-meaning chaotic good YA protag who does not think things all the way through to their natural consequences. Her country is divided in half by an eternal shadow filled with monsters that can only be destroyed by someone who can summon light which, gasp, is her! Scrappy orphan with a dry sense of humor. Actually cripplingly lonely. Last time she was in Abraxas, she stole money from her friends and rode to Thorne in the trunk of a carpet salesman to try and find her friend. She's only a little bit sorry for that. CR YOU WANT: Friends, enemies, charming manipulative men that convince her she should do stupid/dangerous things. Hit me with it all. CR YOU DON'T WANT: I can't think of anything. I'm pretty bad at introductory threads or threads without a goal (that goal can be X and Y get to know each other better) so I'm happy to handwave some initial meetings. PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
I want to lean into some of the internal strife aspects of living in a faction that embodies so many of the things she claims she wants to fight for Grisha back home (freedom, individual agency, rulers that represent their people), but also seeks to destroy the Singularity.
Day-to-day, she will continue her training to hone her own powers, as she hopes to amass enough power to destroy a giant shadow that cuts her country in two. One point of plot engagement could be seeking out non-traditional ways of increasing the power she yields. I'm drawing from the books for a little inspiration, but one of Alina's major struggles in the series later is her own internal reckoning with being increasingly power hungry and wondering if she is going to either lose herself to that hunger, or if desiring more power makes her monstrous herself.
Someone should convince her to try and destroy Nocwich too.
