What do you think Aleksander would have done if Alina was having her own grisha revolution but away from him? Maybe in Shu Han and she was doing overall good for Grisha but wanted nothing to do with him? Not Alina- basically any Sun Summoner was just having his)her own conquests and didn't want to associate with him. What would he do then?
So if they had never met and he heard that the Sun Summoner was having her own military campaign in Shu or Fjerda, he would be kinda impressed. Like: "Damn. That's really something". He has experienced persecution in those countries and knows first-hand what it's like.
A Grisha having conquests in hostile lands is badass and requires balls NGL 😭😭 Even if he/she is a powerful one.
Then he would set plans to go to him/her and meet that person. Aleksander would try to make her join him by talking to her reasonably of his own experiences and what he desires to achieve. He would hope that this person would understand him and his plans but I'm not quite sure he would be totally honest with her (out of fear of her sending him away if he would tell her "Hey I wanna vanquish a city with the Fold in the process"). Also, I feel like he would be kinda wary around her. She's not a weak, easily fooled person but a powerful soldier and a strong leader so he would know that commanded her around or blackmailing her are out of the question. He would try a different approach. Appeal to her cause and his cause, how similar their dreams and actions are and of how much they can achieve together for the Grisha and the world.
BRO THIS CONCEPT OF YOURS SOUNDS AMAZING! IS THERE A FIC OUT THERE??
A prime example of that would be this guy here, Mr Diego Montaya! He used to be an archivist for the Starwood Anomalies Research Facility, but quit many years ago and retired to a quiet little gig as a librarian in the local public library. He's a sweet old timer who loves his job and encouraging people to read, especially little kids. He runs an educational reading circle for the tykes from the local school once a week, and makes up all kinds of silly songs to hold their interest - a lot of people grew up with him and his songs, so he's thought of very fondly.
8. someone who hates their job
There's a few candidates, but if there's anyone who so clearly absolutely despises their job, it's Mars. Mars works a technician for SAR, as part of their attempts to judge whether their people are fit for declassification from anomalies, and they contemplate every day chewing through the security system's wires. But instead they're settling for being very obnoxious about sticking to their contract's exact wording at every opportunity and refusing to socialize with "coworkers".
36. a local deity or worship practice
Religion isn't a huge focus in my lore, but we do have one local deity! This is Mica, they are a God of Wishes who takes the form of a large, serpentine-like koi fish living in a pond on SAR's grounds. On occasion, the staff allow people to toss small gems into the pond and make a wish, which Mica will then grant. However, everyone is only given one wish and the result may not be entirely favourable......
