[OOC] The Rains of Castamere | Hetalia [Always Accepting!]

And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.

Story
The year is 2045. It has been almost three decades since the Middle East had torn itself apart in war, leaving empty countries littered with bones and ruins of once bustling cities. The other countries— both world powers and weaker nations—now continue on with their everyday lives. Even though they have not made many technological advances, life is somewhat easier than before. Water powered cars zoom down streets and most people contact each other via holograms.

The world’s population is keeping itself busy by fiddling with its gadgets, but the nations are growing tense with one another. They blame each other for bankruptcy, for outbreaks… and especially for what happened in the Middle East. Countries who are tired of being pushed around cry for war, eager to redeem themselves and prove themselves as strong as, or even stronger, than major nations like America or England. Threats are being made and nations are being labeled as friend or foe. A whole new war is about to break out—but whose side will you be on?

Plot

World War III is about to begin and nations are already taking up arms. They will aim their weapons at each other with one more tiny push, and when that happens… no one will be safe.

Three alliances will be made; what these alliances will be called or who will join them is up to the RPers.

Types of Playable Characters

Countries: taking on a humanoid shape and able to live for eternity, countries are the strongest beings in the world. They represent their nation’s people by brandishing several stereotypes—for instance, England is a gentleman who loves tea and France is a romantic man who chases after women. How countries are born remains a mystery to everyone; all that is known about their birthing process is that they randomly appear as children roaming around their land. Countries stop aging visibly after a certain amount of time, appearing as twenty or thirty year olds while they are really hundreds or thousands of years old. They are five or six times stronger than a human being—thus, they are not able to die easily. A random person wielding a gun cannot murder a nation unless they are a part of a powerful organization, such as the mafia or the government. Nations also cannot die of old age—they can only die if they are killed, of disease, or if they cannot function anymore. If they die, they have a high probability of being reborn as a child, but only if their country is being rebuilt. Countries reflect what is going on in their land as well—they undergo severe pain and/or illness if a natural disaster struck, an attack occurred in their land, etc. This may range to throwing up blood, ash, and shrapnel in response to a nuclear attack, or a simple cold if their economy is having trouble.
Before, nations were thought to be barren and could not reproduce. This has been proved wrong, however, due to the proof of micronations successfully marrying humans and nations alike and having children with them. Though, most countries avoid relationships with humans and even other nations, as this causes too much strife. Humans last too short of a time and the country they love may be their enemy one day.
Nations fall under the command of their Boss, or whoever runs the nation (such as the President, Dictator, etc).

Micronations: they are almost exactly like nations, but much weaker as they are smaller. They are younger than other nations and, more often than not, are ignored by them as well since they are not taken literally.

Cities and States: [NOT YET AVAILABLE] cities are, again, just like nations, but weaker than them and micronations. However, they are around the age of their nation, and are considered like brothers to them.

Characters

Username: Dragon
Country Name: United States of America (more commonly America)
Human Name: Christopher Smith
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Birthday: July 4th, 1775
Appearance: A rather handsome young man, America stands at five feet and nine inches and weighs in at about 175 pounds.
Personality: If one wants to be straightforward, America is a loud, rambunctious, and selfish party goer who cares about nothing else than his own well-being. He is a two-faced liar who pokes his nose into other people’s business and will gladly shoot someone down if they get in his way. He seems this way to people who don’t know him well- to his friends, he is loud and rambunctious and selfish and a liar and all of that good stuff, but he’s a loyal ally and a strong one, at that. While he may seem a little dense and extremely stubborn, all America wants is to keep the ones close to him safe and sound. Though, he goes about this the wrong way, putting himself into wars and battles left and right. With enemies, he is cold, distant, and merciless.
Believe it or not, America wants nothing more than to be a peaceful nation and keep out of war for a century or two. However, he has made too many enemies and believes that it really is too late to be at peace for long.
Weaknesses: Stubborn, ignorant, and rash.
Strengths: Physically strong and loyal.
Likes: Coffee, country sides, relaxing, video games, summer, lazing around, fast food, Britain, Japan, fishing, hiking, camping, soccer, football, good food, anime, manga, horses, and his birthday.
Dislikes: Britain, France, trying to eat healthy, going outside in the winter, people who try to boss him around, scary movies, people who beat him and think are better than him, people who are unjust, his Bosses, the cold, failing at something, and people who try and ruin his fun.
Other: "S'up, yo?" Has a bald eagle that, at times, lands on his head. Though the eagle is not his pet, America treats him as one, and has named him Jett.

Username: Dragon
Country Name: Russia
Human Name: Alexi Yezhov
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Birthday: 862- Exact birthday is unknown, but earliest records of an exact date is January 16th.
Appearance: A silver haired young man with a long, thin braid that reaches the bottom of his back, Russia stands at a whopping six feet and seven inches. He is thin, but broad shouldered, and his arms seem like they could carry two grown men at a time. A long scar runs across the ridge of his nose and over his right eye. His vision is somewhat weak in that eye, but he isn't bothered by it at all.
Personality: Russia is a quiet nation who prefers to study his enemies before he attacks them. An extremely dangerous man, no one really knows what's going on in his mind. A trigger happy drunkard, Russia wants to be acknowledged as a strong nation like he should be. Russia is cold and distant toward enemies, only staring at them until they decide to shut up and get out of his way, or stop breathing altogether. He is friendly toward those he deems to be friends and allies, often visiting their homes to spend time with them or inviting them over to his own country. He loves warm countries the most.
Weaknesses: A bit too hostile, extremely stubborn and aggressive.
Strengths: Extremely strong and usually wins in whatever squabble he gets into.
Likes: Vodka, warmth, friends, spending time with other nations, nations who respect and admire him.
Dislikes: the cold, being alone, nations who don't respect him, nations who don't mind their own business and don't let him do what he wants.
Other: "Mm, I really want to go somewhere warm..."

Username: Dragon
Country Name: Germany
Human Name: Daniel Schwartz
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Birthday: February 2nd, 962
Appearance: Germany stands at five feet and ten inches. He is considerably fit and his body is built for stamina and strength. His hair is a dark blond [having gotten darker since WWII] and his eyes are a deep blue. He always tries to maintain a calm or deadpan expression in order to appear educated and trustworthy.
Personality: Germany is booksmart, but isn't exactly streetsmart. He doesn't know how to crack a joke or laugh at them, for that matter. He usually likes to stay quiet and drink a beer or four at home. Germany likes to keep to himself and not cause arguments due to the fact that he believes people still hate him for WWII. An extremely patient man, he accepts everyone for who they are, even if they are annoying as hell. Even Germany's patience wears thin at times, and in order to tranquilize a fight or squall that has lasted for too long, he won't hesitate to go on a yelling spree.
Weaknesses: Land is vulnerable to invasion, finds it difficult to make friends, and likes to be by himself.
Strengths: Physically strong and is healthier than most other nations due to his economy.
Likes: Wurst, beer, and other German food, Oktoberfest, Italy, Japan, and their culture, reading, dogs, cool temperatures, hunting, pine forests, nature, snow, autumn, spending time alone.
Dislikes: Hot temperatures, spending too long indoors, people who mention WWII or the Holocaust in other ways than honoring the victims, having nothing to do, irrational nations who care about no one else but themselves.
Other: "Will everyone just shut up and listen?!"

Username: Dragon
Country Name: Southern Italy [South Italy or just South]
Human Name: Natalia Basile
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthday: March 17th
Appearance: Southern Italy is, in simple terms, a very beautiful young woman. She is a short and slender woman with a very European look to her. Her slightly wavy and auburn colored hair reaches down to the middle of her back if it is not kept tied up in a taut bun atop her head. A long curl that is much like her sibling's pokes out from in between her reddish brown locks. Her eyes greatly resemble the shade of a bright and orange autumn leaf, and her dark skin is smooth looking and soft. Her torso has an hourglass shape, even though she doesn't have much of a bust. When she is wearing thick clothes, she looks very much like a man.
Personality: South's personality greatly contradicts her gorgeous appearance. She is lazy, inconsiderate, and very rude. A very weak nation, South Italy would rather flee from war than actually pick up a gun and shoot it. Even though she is lousy, South Italy adores and protects her younger sibling whenever she can. If someone places a hand on North Italy, she flies into a frenzy.
South Italy also has a very shady part to her personality. Having been part of the mafia ever since they began, she could be considered untrustworthy and dangerous. But when one sees South Italy bowing at your feet for mercy, those presumptions just fade away.
South Italy is the true epitome of a Renaissance person- she can sing, dance, play instruments, and paint much like her sibling, but she often resides in their shadow.
Weaknesses: Weak, untrustworthy, and inconsiderate.
Strengths: Very artistic and an excellent spy.
Likes: Tomatoes, pizza, well seasoned food, art, music, farms, oceans, being acknowledged, her sibling, warmth, dancing.
Dislikes: Germany, Japan, and anyone else who befriends Northern Italy, Spain, France, big and scary nations, war, people who don't respect her, being useless, the mafia, and the cold.
Other: "Go away you bastard!"

Username: Chicogal
Country Name: Denmark
Human Name: Daiana Madsen
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthday: 871
Appearance: Denmark is a woman with quite pale skin. Her eyes are a deep blue much like the ocean surrounding most of her, and her face is attractive. Slightly curly brown hair reaches mid-back which she leaves loose and flowing for most of the time. She stands at 5,6. Her build is not muscular and she is slight, reflecting her weak military power. As is typical, she has a large bust - D. A faint scent of strawberries wafts about her, reflective of her most picked fruit. This was kindly drawn for me a while back - it is exactly her.
Personality: Denmark is generally quite a soft and sweet person, who dislikes war unless necessary. She can be made to cry easily by some, so long as they find the right place to attack. When forced to engage in battle, however, she does summon some Viking strength and personality, despite her military being quite small.
Weaknesses:
- Weak military
- She is quite sensitive
- Small land (easily occupied)
Strengths:
- Strong economy
- Generally liked or considered neutral by most countries
Likes: Rainy days, the coast, everything about Vikings, Danish music and movies, ABBA (despite them not being Danish), strawberries
Dislikes: Aggressive countries, bullies, war, being thought of as an entire country with Scandinavia (although she loves her Scandinavian brothers/sisters) Canada when they argue over Greenland.
Other: For now, simply, "Hej!" Later on, it shall become, "...COPENHAGEN!"

Username: Chicogal
Country Name: France
Human Name: Louis Martin
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Birthday: 843
Appearance: France stands at 6 foot, with wavy brown hair that falls to his soft jawline. He carries a typical French nose - a smooth curve that lifts up at the tip, and his eyes are deep brown in colour. France is muscular, and dresses himself very well - he usually looks quite stylish. He has an even light tan over his whole body. France's delicate hands have often been referred to as, 'girly,' but he claims them to be the hands of a sophisticated lover of art, food and people. He almost always has a red rose tucked behind his ear, and usually wears a navy and white striped jumper with skinny-jeans - c'est designer, of course!
Personality: France is a romantic. His dark eyes are constantly appreciating the shape of other people, and he speaks with a French accent that makes him sound like he is perpetually flirting - except for when he is angry. Then he just sounds like an angry French man. He is often too flirtatious, and makes people uncomfortable with his loving gestures of kisses and hugs. France can become arrogant when speaking of other countries' achievements in art or cooking - he believes that no-one is as good as him. He can also be very rude when he feels like it, and does so with covered up insults.
Weaknesses:
- He is disliked by (and dislikes) both Germany and England (although he often has to work with them)
- He can easily offend nations with his overly-affectionate ways or rudeness
- He can be too harsh on his enemies (e.g Treaty of Versailles) and make situations worse, or make more enemies
Strengths:
- Has a fairly strong military
- His country is made up of beauty - art, cooking and the language of love.
Likes: Cooking, art, French, beautiful people, fashion, croissants, roses, baguette, arty films, stripes, berets
Dislikes: England, Germany, bad food, tourists who don't try to speak French, not getting his own way
Other: "Je t'aime."

Username: Pudding
Country Name: Iceland
Human Name: Óliver Aaronsson
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Birthday: June 17, 1944 (Icelandic National Day)
Appearance: Iceland is, in a word, beautiful. His light, curly hair is usually at least somewhat covered by a hat or earmuffs at the very least, depending on the season. The ever-changing fashions of Iceland are not lost on the nation as he is known to sport every manner of odd and unusual clothing that makes countries with more stable fashion trends cringe. But, more often than not, he prefers to wear one of the wool sweaters that his country is practically known for. When it comes to body structure, Iceland is naturally lean yet muscular. His skin is paler than most with light, grey-blue eyes. He's only around 5'9", however, making him appear shorter next to some of the other, much taller nations. Since he's always out fishing or helping with sheep or anything along that line, he has a very natural smell to him.
Personality: Iceland has a bit of a small nation complex. By that, he likes and will point out that he is technically the best at everything… per capita. Aside from that, he is blunt and right to the point. The idea of beating around the bush is lost on him and, further more, he is impatient and rarely likes to stay in one place for long. He's bad with putting on airs and if he doesn't like someone, they will absolutely know. He doesn't see much of a problem with this since it means everything is efficient but, generally, it seems to be considered rude. He's fascinated with other countries and their cultures and always wants to visit other places to forge close relationships with other countries. However, at the first sign of war, he has a tendency to hole up and let larger nations take the brunt of the attacks so other nations don't invade or attack him.
-No standing army (generally small military)
-Small population with small workforce means Iceland relies heavily on other nations for exports and imports
-Iceland is not a member of the EU and has a rather unstable economy subject to sharp ups and downs
-Iceland himself can be considered rude due to his nature of getting straight to the point and is also very sensitive about people disrespecting his culture and food.
Strengths:
-Iceland is used to navigating harsher terrains like mountains
-Usually manages to remove himself from conflicts that aren't directly centered around him
Likes: Fishing, Sheep, his history, his close and tight-knit community, being the 'best' at everything
Dislikes: Countries that deliberately start fights, people who don't respect human rights, people who get blame him when one of his volcanoes erupts
Other: "Per capita!" (From his small nation complex)

Username: pudding
Country Name: United Kingdom, UK or "Britain" (Really, she's just England)
Human Name: Abigail Smith
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Birthday: 927 AD
Appearance: England looks rather like the personification of Britannia in the traditional drawing, only with a modern twist. Her hair has been dyed black cut short so it can easily be gelled backwards for a much more refined and classy look. Dresses have long since been exchanged for tailored suits with tails and pressed collared shirts. While only around 5'4", she makes it a point to wear shoes with a heel to them so that she gains a bit of height. Her skin is light and clear and she is rarely seen without some makeup or her hair done up properly. Her eyes are light green. One of the most interesting things about England is the lasting effect tight lacing has had on her. While it has improved since when she actively wore corsets, she does have a thinner waist than average and the decades of tight lacing has had a negative result on her body. While she doesn't talk about it, she does have problems with eating and breathing but is slowly recovering from this.
Personality: England is a very charismatic lady and a lady she is. She's confident in her actions and is able to hold a room in the palm of her hand with soft-spoken, patient words. But this side of her does not manifest so much when she's not dealing with important people like world leaders or trying to impress others. The other nations of the world have long since lost her respect and the reserve she has is abandoned the moment she steps into the door. Her sharp mind and tongue are like a stereotypical villain in an American film and she's not afraid to step up and beat some sense into the other nations around her with a good, old-fashioned bit of brute force. While her current power is diminished compared to the past, she has still left a mark on other nations of the world and continues to try to prove herself to be still on par as a superpower. As such, she tends to be a bit more Imperialistic, especially in times of war.
England has always had a bit of a motherly side to her, possibly from the old days when she had more younger nations running about than she really cared to look after. As such, she tends to treat those nations differently than the others and act as if they are still children despite most of them being grown up.
Weaknesses:
-She's very stubborn
-She has a tendency to underestimate people and their actions
-She does have a smaller space to work with than other super-powereded nations, giving her a disadvantage when it comes to space and army size when it comes to places like America and Russia
-Despite accelerated healing, her body has not completely recovered from the effects of tight lacing. and she has some difficulty breathing and eating large amounts of food.
Strengths:
-She's had influence on many nations across the globe, resulting in quite a few strong allies now.
-She's used to wars since she gets involved in them constantly and kind of knows her way around them.
Likes: Gardening, people who aren't idiots, the Chap Olympiad
Dislikes: People mucking around, America's "disfiguration" of her language, the saying "British accent", people who disrespect her food
Other: "Dammit America, stop butchering my language!"

Username: pudding
Country Name: Prussia
Human Name: Luther Schwartz
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Birthday: 1190 (As the Teutonic knights)
Appearance: Prussia actually has albinism of the type OCA1a, which means he cannot develop any pigment in his body. This gives him a very unique look among nations and people alike, as he has very pale skin and translucent hair. In the past, Prussia kept his hair tied back in a pony tail and allowed it to stay somewhat long but in recent times, he has taken to cutting it off himself. This has given him a messy look as his hair falls in various lengths between his chin and shoulders. He's shorter than Germany despite being his older brother, being only 5'7" and not nearly as muscular. In fact, Prussia is very thin and not nearly as muscular as Germany with a generally bony body. He usually just steals Germany's clothes since all of his are old uniforms from when he was still a country. He actually needs to wear glasses since he has bad vision but he doesn't really care for them so he doesn't wear them. Instead, he just squints a lot.
Personality: Prussia is a bloodlust-filled solider. He was raised on fighting and still craves the rush of fighting against a good, strong opponent. But, unfortunately, he is also dated. Ever since he was officially dissolved, Prussia found himself in a state of depression with no actual purpose. He's become lethargic with little self esteem. From this, he began his rebellious stage, trying to cover his negative feelings and loneliness with acts of mischief and mayhem. He's easy to anger and tends to act haughty and arrogant to cover up how he really feels. He's very defensive about his real emotions and doesn't confide in others very often since he views it as a sign of weakness. Usually, in an attempt to hide this, he just boasts about himself and how impressive and amazing he is. He does have a small caring side and looks out for his 'little' brother, Germany. He's taken to trying to 'modernize' himself by spending long periods of time on the Internet and, as a result, has adopted many modern phases and speaks in memes.
Weaknesses:
-He was technically abolished and lacks the physical strength an actual nation has
-As a nation without an actual area to call his own, he has trouble seeing why he should even get out of bed
-He fears injuries since he isn't sure if he'll be reborn again.
Strengths:
-He is very good at using Maneuver warfare and has been fighting since his early years
-He's got tons of free time on his hands to do whatever he wants.
Likes: Germany, France, Spain, adventures, fighting, the Internet
Dislikes: The fact he isn't a nation anymore, Russia, people who look down at him.
Other: He's been avoiding World Meetings since he's no longer a nation and 'Doesn't feel like attending'. He still waits outside for his friends, though. His catchphrase is constantly changing but, at the moment, he's really taken to "Yo, fuck that"

Username: Nerevarine
Country Name: Portugal
Human Name: João Santos do Francisco
Age: Looks to be in his Mid 30s
Gender: Male
Birthday: June 24, 1128
Appearance: Medium tanned skin, with long, unwashed brown hair and a stubbly beard. Joao has lightly hazel eyes that lean towards green, and he stands at a meager 5' 2". He is not too physically imposing, with a rather slender build and mediocre strength.
Personality: Joao loves to sail, and will spend most of his time sailing in open water, going on long vacations to far away places that most people have never even heard the names of. However, his is not a fun traveling partner, as Joao will bring along his Fado guitar and tell morose and depressing stories about his longing for home and a for love. He is pretty generally depressing and sad, only to spring into happyness and become a wild partier, only to go back to his morose depression. Joao likes to play as a ladies man, but most avoid him due to his abusive and violent tendencies with women. However, if one can get him in a good mood, Joao is very romantic, and plays up the part to a rediculous degree. He can be very meticulous with his money as well, and will often aquire large amounts of wealth by running many shops, selling just what the other countries need.
Weaknesses: Depressing personality, abusive relationships, leaves on his ship for months to years at a time, cheap ass
Strengths: Rich, Fun to Party when he's happy
Likes: The Ocean, Fado Music, Tropical Islands, Travel, Poetry, Literature, Exploring
Dislikes: The fruitless pursuit of happiness, being tied to one spot, comittment, not having money, Land Locked Areas,
Other: Has Many Children, and is on fairly good terms with all of them, particularly Brazil. His catchphrase is "But it's all for this meaningless game we call life"

Username: Nerevarine
Country Name: Macau
Human Name: Amalia Wei Santos
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Birthday: 1847
Appearance: Macau has a very defined heritage, with her portuguese, and her chinese traits clearly there. Macau inherited her father's short height, standing at only 5 feet, with pale skin, and long reddish brown hair. Her eyes are dark brown, and show off her chinese heritage. Macau tends to wear lavish dresses in Portuguese and Chinese fashions. When not showing off, Macau usually has her hair up in a on tail, and she is dressed in loose fitting clothes, suited for a sea bound individuals.
Personality: Macau does not share her father's somber and dreary personaliy. She did, however, inherit his skill at shipbuilding and seafairing. She is a little bit curious as to who her mother is (Portugal was never more specific than "a Cantonese woman I had a one night stand with"). She has mixed feelings towards her father, and believes that he loves her, but used her for territorial claim none the less. She has abandonment issues, and often seeks comfort in China or Hong Kong. This often leads to her being easily manipulated by China. Macau likes to speak in Chinese, despite having a very thick portuguese accent, but she never stops trying. Some have called her babling in Chinese and Portuguese a mixed language, called Macanese.
Weaknesses: Cries easily, not taken seriously, mostly at the mercy of China, Gambling Problem
Strengths: Strong Economy, Access to chinese trade routes.
Likes: China, Portugal, Hong Kong, Gambling, Sailing, pretty dresses
Dislikes: not being taken seriously, being called a little girl, getting laughed at for speaking bad chinese/macanese
Other: She is Portugal's Youngest Daughter, and she often makes a "squee", when she's excited. Her catchphrase is "another Macau original"

Username: Nerevarine
Country Name: China
Human Name: Long Xiu (Long is the family name)
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Birthday: 2100 BC
Appearance: Despite being thousands of years old, China's mastery of alchemy has allowed her to maintain the body of a twenty year old. In her current age, China has abandoned her traditional, imperial garb in favor of the authoritarian styling of military uniforms. She is almost always clad in a thick, dark grey uniform with hints of red. China herself is very thin and elegant looking, with milky white skin, dark brown eyes, and black hair that she wears long, hanging out of her military cap. China is remarkably short, on par with Spain and Macau.
Personality: China seems like a deep contradition at first. One gets an air of elegance and beauty when they see her, only for her deep, authoritarian voice to instill the fear she is known for. China keeps herself elevated high above all other nations, as she is the oldest of them all. She is very proper, and quick to criticize even little faults in the nations around her. She has a particular animosity towards Russia, who she considers a weakling who couldn't even stand by his own devotion to socialism and communism, and with England, for the times when she used her and manipulated her by getting her addicted to Opium. When China speaks, most everyone feels dominated by her strong voice and booming tone.
Weaknesses:
- Not very well liked
- Underlings often rebel against her, causing disorder
- Very stubborn and ground in traditon
Strengths:
- Ridiculously strong military
- Dominating level of influence
Likes: Vegtables, Communism, Military power, Having Authority, Flaunting her age, Alchemy, Science, Macau, Hong Kong
Dislikes: Being told what to do, Russia, England, Rebellion, too much change
Other: "what I say goes"; China is bisexual, and has had many relationships in her past, including a brief encounter with Rome.

Username: DemonicGoldfish
Country Name: Vatican City
Human Name: Varinius Valerian
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Birthday: February 11
Appearance: One look at Vatican and it is impossible to tell that he is Italian. His hair falls in small waves about his head with the sides in front of his ears longer, reaching down to the bottom of his jaw where they curl up on either side, yet the color a that of dark, smudged charcoal. His eyes matched the hue of the strands on top of his head, both a stark contrast to his pale flesh. Vatican is a thin man on his good days, while on his worse, he could be described as gaunt, underfed. One could probably count each rib, if he wasn't always wearing at least a buttoned shirt and a black jacket with the cuffs only slightly tattered. He tends to wear darker, business casual clothing, occasionally something less-so dressy if any of the other Italians had a say about it, like that bright scarlet turtleneck sweater Italy forced upon him one day and Vatican hadn't had the heart to try to force it back onto him. Nevertheless, he is rarely, if never, seem without a silver chain around his neck, where he keeps two keys: one gold, one silver. It's usually out of sight, tucked under the folds of his clothes, but it tends to sneak out, where it'll clink gently about his chest.
Personality: Vatican would be considered a recluse if he isn't always being dragged out of the house. He shies away from people, never approaching , and rarely speaks his mind in fear of being lashed out upon. The timid city-state can count his friends, family, and/or aquaintences on one hand, yet they mean everything to him, even if he doesn't express it, but he doesn't express himself very well to begin with, so they would understand, or so he hopes. Vatican is curious about the world around him even though he tries to avoid stepping one foot in it, and so topics involving cooking local foods and speaking in the national language will get him inching out of his dark dreary corner and closer to the conversation.
This quiet, shy personality does not mean he cannot defend himself. He has a patience of a saint, rarely defending himself, yet when that one handful of people close to his heart is threatened, a dark, aggressive side that very few know about rushes to the surface and refuses to leave until the threat is neutralized.
Weaknesses: Social anxiety, dependent on both Italys for everything, very weak unless provoked
Strengths: Book-smart, is usually regarded as neutral if he happens to show up.
Likes: North and South Italy, baking sweets and pastries, languages, art and music of various forms, books, being alone, unless he's with people he knows, then that's okay too.
Dislikes: Crowds, flying, coffee, fighting, himself is also a possibility.
Other: "S-sorry...I'll...I'll get out of your way..."

Username: DemonicGoldfish
Country Name: N. Italy
Human Name: Lodovico Basile
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Birthday: March 17th
Appearance: Northern Italy, standing about 5'8'', is a man of many colors, colors meaning clothes. His outfits are always changing, yet never hideous, choosing tasteful, yet colorful clothing that are never go out of fashion. His skin is on the lighter end of tan, although still dark in comparison to any northern countries. A curl spirals out of control from the rest of his shoulder length, dark auburn hair that is usually tied back in some fashion. From his hair to his honey-gold eyes to right down to his polished leather shoes, Northern Italy seems to always be picture perfect.
Personality: Northern Italy is considered the balm for Southern Italy. He is calm and friendly, always eager to make a new friend. Seeing people happy is when Northern Italy is the happiest, especially if he's the one who made them that way. He is passive for the most part, stepping into fights only to break them up, but his attempts various in degree of helpfulness, which tends to lead to him being on the receiving end from time to time. He has been known to set his foot down, though, but most days he just laughs off the bruises. He is also easily distracted, and will flutter off and forget what he was doing previously, often getting himself lost in the process.
Weaknesses: Generally weak, forgetful.
Strengths: Very friendly, excellent at gathering information (and phone numbers).
Likes: His sibling, pasta, pizza, fish, food in general, music, art, clothes, anyone who spends more than five minutes talking to him, gossip, cute fluffy animals.
Dislikes: Fighting, wars, mean bully countries who need to chill.
Other: "Ciao! You look magnifico!"

Username: DemonicGoldifsh
Country Name: Spain
Human Name: Itzal Basajuan
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Birthday: May 30
Appearance: Standing at 5' precisely, Spain doesn't look intimidating at all. No, her wild cocoa colored, chopped short hair that sticks up all over the place, her round face, holding wide, emerald eyes and colorful shirts make her the least intimidating person around. Not even when she puts on dark tinted sunglasses and a fedora and pulls her dark-toned face into an impressive scowl, her cheeks puff out and it's just too to resist not laughing. After all, it's easy to not take a woman who barely looks over the drinking age and at least a good foot shorter than everyone else very seriously.
Personality: Despite her cute appearance, Spain can and will kick people in the shins or higher if she gets annoyed. Or embarrassed. Or really, she'll smack anyone for just about any reason, if she feels they deserve it. Her excuse is that it's discipline. On the other hand she hugs just about anyone as well, and can be very clingy. She always seems happy, even when punching someone in the stomach, because that's how she is- smile in the face of the enemy and then give them a good, sound kick to the back of the knees. Despite this little flaw, she loves people, loves being a part of a party, and will laugh and joke and drink merry with everyone and anyone, including her enemies, because with a drink in hand everyone's a friend, no?
Weaknesses: Not taken very seriously, economically struggling, just a tad alcoholic.
Strengths: Her short stature aids her in keeping out of sight (to sneak up on people, of course), and she returns beatings with equal ferocity.
Likes: Churros, chocolate, pastries, olives, ham, fruit, food in general, alcohol of any sort, the ocean, boats, snow, Italians (they're fun to bother!).
Dislikes: Annoying tourists, the English, civil unrest.
Other: "The advantage of me being short is that I can punch you in the nuts with little effort involved. Olive?"
