PLAYER: Sam
ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: yes! verities
A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: just trying to get by in life. currently working on immigration so slow sometimes. EST/GMT timezones.
YOUR LATEST SHOWER EPIPHANY THE WORLD MUST KNOW: I wish I had an epiphany....

CHARACTER: Alina Starkov
CANON: Grisha Series (novels)
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: She's a sun summoner, which means she manipulates the sun. Despite being so sunny, she can actually be a huge grump. She's trying to fight a war at home, so she has a lot on her mind. But she's a fiercely loyal friend when you get past her small grouchy self.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Your character has been patiently queuing for the past hour, when someone with no extenuating circumstances cuts in. How do they react? Silently seethes, talks about them behind their back. But if she's in a really bad mood she may make a scene.

ii. What job would your character most majestically fail at? Cartography. It was her job once in her world. Her maps weren't the greatest...

iii. What scent do you associate with your character? A cold winter day, crisp and sharp.

WHAT’S YOUR CHARACTER BEEN UP TO, SO FAR? Ya know. Being kidnapped. Being rescued. The whole shebang.

WHAT ARE YOU ITCHING TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER DO IN SA-HARETH NEXT? Nothing yet just get her settled and she could use friends ):

Ahhhhhnnnnnnghhhhhh I AM SO THRILLED to get Alina in my life again................ please be the not-daughter this man has never had.

[sankta]

NOW YOU'rE STUCK WITH HER SO LIKE
dwit.

[bearshermark]

Friends!

As a child of light, El will be super fascinated by her abilities. Also be just a touch envious bc he lost his light powers

[sankta]

alina will literally be so upset for him that he lost his abilities because she'd hate to lose hers ;;; but they can def be friends

[bearshermark]

oh no how sweet.

they aren't actually gone gone, but he doesn't know that yet- though he might here soon if Xie Lian tries to pull power from him- so that'll be interesting. they're just very weak and dormant rn, so I'm hoping to get some sort of holy power to spark them back to life at some point during the game.

but yes! friends! reading her threads with Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, I think they're on the same page, not being able to live with themselves if they stand by and let shit happen, desperate to help..

[sankta]

she'll at least support him in getting them back!!

but good Alina would like to get more people on board with saving the captives.

[somebadnews]

Five just wants to see her cool sun manipulating powers. Slowly turning into his father and obsessing over abilities and how they fit in with what's going on, it's fine. They'll either hate each other or miraculously will not.

Oh to be able to offer friendship...

[sankta]

look she's the worst at forward thinking so please take her abilities and go HERE'S A PLAN

she's probably foolhardy enough to go with it. who needs friends anyway?

[somebadnews]

Fantastic. This guy is so forward thinking that he has no regard for the present, so that works great.

Nobody needs them ever, for anything, this is fine.

[weifinder]

wanna share war stories he can ... help... avoid doing that??? sobs

he would check in on her when he's conscious again post water rescue so that can be something they're up to if you like!

[sankta]

please because i need more than her just bullying this poor guy!!

[weifinder]

LMF look they can bond later he can talk about you know, doing exactly the stuff she's arguing for and how that fucked him up badly as it does

here have a turnip we've got more where that came from alsdjkf
