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.

ANYTHING ELSE?:

[earthborn]

hey


hey kid





wanna join a gang

[solmate]

she will contribute high quality schemes and plans like this proposal for a disguise:

[earthborn]

Alina your plans are adorable and your disguises would totally work but

We have the combined powers and physics of a stellar nova. It's basically never going to be a stealth mission.

THAT SAID NO, YES. I. Think these two might have some interesting conversations if only we can engineer them to meet.

[shadowthief]

If you want, we can kind of something-something, handwave the rest of the TDM thread and start fresh with whatever event thing is upcoming soon? Name exchanges, but maybe Inej doesn't even realize yet they're from the same world, etc? And a general nice chat that ended pleasantly, with Inej pointing out she stays at Mag's Inn, if she ever needs to find her~

[solmate]

I actually do have a dumb idea for the TDM thread so I want to hold onto it a little while longer and keep it game canon.

[shadowthief]

Ohh okay! I’m down for whatever so count me in~

[photophobic]

Kylo continues to glower darkling-like and will watch Alina's career with interest...

[solmate]

kylo what's it like to abandon the idea of legacy and the stories of what you're "supposed" to be

[photophobic]

pretty damn sweet actually u wanna try it sometime??

[techmaturgy]

what's alina into does she like nerd stuff

[solmate]

she likes to READ and DRAW including mapmaking so that could translate to idk drawing schematics and shit??? maybe viktor could make her fun cool mirrored gloves or other devices that make her ability to shine light slightly more powerful and useful.

[techmaturgy]

look he appreciates niche talents. maps are cool!!! so is reading.

dont worry we'll get her tricked out

[provenforce]

It'll have to be on the Horizon but I definitely want Rey and Alina to meet, because they are similar in many regards and would get along well, I think.

[solmate]

rey kiss your enemy it's great

by which i mean yes, i agree this will be splendid.
