Appearance:

Allegiance: Triple Entente

Personality: Serbia is haughty, proud, and easily offended. He does not hesitate to bring up his noble lineage and historical strength, but he backs down quickly if threatened, though continued talks with his brother Montenegro have lead to him growing a bit of a spine and standing up for himself, especially against Austria and the Ottoman Empire, both of whom are hated by Serbia to an insane degree.

Serbia is very quiet when not agitated, but is very opinionated, his favorite words used to enter a conversation are "You're wrong". He also loves to argue, always sporting a smug sense of superiority as he does. When he is losing an argument or otherwise faced with a situation he cannot wriggle free of, he gnashes his teeth and yells, heading for the nearest exit he can find. The only person he enjoys spending time with is his brother Montenegro, and even then they don't talk much, instead staring at everyone who walks by and smoking heavily.

Serbia can be respectful when necessary, his tight-lipped attitude lending itself well to professional negotiations, but he avoids human contact when not necessary. He is deeply cynical about the world, and seems to make it his personal mission to bring everyone down.

Crossing Serbia does not lead to much of anything, he'll get angry and avoid looking at you, but that's not much different from what he usually does.

Likes: Serbia grudgingly loves his brother Montenegro, who was released from the Muslim yoke alongside him. He's also much more polite around Russia, his distant cousin.

Serbia likes cigars, smoking them religiously. Speaking of religion, Serbia is also deeply religious, carrying a cross on his neck at all times. He likes to drink, not stopping until he's drunk, and Serbia makes a mean drunk.

Other than that, Serbia doesn't like much.

Dislikes: AUSTRIA, THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, France, Germany, Albania, America, Italy... Serbia's not exactly a social butterfly.

He also dislikes Catholicism (Heretical in his opinion), interference in the Balkans is another of Serbia's buttons that you shouldn't push. Attacks on Montenegro will lead to him entering a fury unlike any other, with plenty of screaming and even more sword-swinging.

Special Talents:
STEALTHY - As he rarely speaks or moves, Serbia can be incredibly hard to find when he doesn't wish to be found. His skills at eavesdropping are unparalleled, a skill that he uses to get dirt on his opponents with impunity. It's not uncommon for an introduction to lead to the response "Who's Serbia?", a fact that Serbia uses to his advantage.

Weaknesses:
DRUNK - Serbia cannot resist a good drink, and once drunk he becomes almost useless in every situation.

JACKASS - His personality causes him to drive away potential friends and alienate old ones.

PLUM CRAZY - He's just one step away from insanity, with a lack of empathy in all but few situations and a tenancy towards blind rage.

Familial Relationships: His brothers include Montenegro and Albania, he's also Russia's cousin.

Other: He's very confused as to his parenthood. He believes Byzantium is his father, though the Ottoman Empire is fairly certain he is Serbia's father.

Appearance: France makes a striking presence, tall and consistently dressed in flattering if not overly showy dresses. Her eyes are a bright jade, her hair jet black and smooth like silk, with a single stripe of grey being the only signs of her age. Her face is soft and yet edged enough to be perfect, with large lips and a mole under her left eye, but a jagged scar stretching from the top of her head to the top of her lip jarringly shoots down the right side of her face, almost impossible to ignore. She has similar scars covering the rest of her body, each one a story, most given by England in their long history together, but the facial scar is the only one she seems to notice, perhaps due to the one who had given it.

Allegiance: Entente

Personality: Haughty and proud, France is proud of her noble history and descent from both the Frankish Empire and Rome itself. She is dismissive of anyone of lower status then her, and even some higher than her. Her relationship with England is... complicated, though she's disdainful of his womanizing and pride, she is almost dangerously defensive of her "Beloved" and their relationship, she often attempts to string him along to fit her desires, using threats or seduction if he fails to follow.

France is proud of her long history of combat prowess, and isn't afraid to remind her enemies about the time when she fought them all and almost won. She knows her abilities well, and isn't afraid to use the threat of them as a deterrent. When angered, she begins using threat-laced innuendo and posturing in order to show her opponent how bad an idea it is to offend Europe's old guard.

Likes: England, Belgium, Russia, Canada, The United States, wine, a good song, liberalism, her colonies, the Pope, The Netherlands, the colors blue and red, love, other things associated with love that she'd rather not discuss, biking, hot air ballooning (She invented it), FREEDOM (A tenancy she passed on to the United States when she helped him get free from England.), respect shown to her or England.

Dislikes: Germany, Austria, Monarchies, tyranny, warfare, the fact that both Belgium and England have German kings, the color white (Monarchy bad!), the color gold (Monarchy very bad!), being made fun of for flying a white flag for a few years (It was a midlife crisis okay?), Protestantism.

Special Talent:
-COOKING, France is among the best cooks in the world, and she is able to make a ton of food, as long as she is around, nobody's going hungry.

Weaknesses:
-Don't mention retreating, it's not funny anymore. But yes, France knows when to fold them, sometimes a little too early. This comes as a result of her disastrous invasion of Russia, where she didn't retreat at all and it cost her the war. She's only trying to prevent a repeat.
-POLITICAL INSTABILITY, France is not the most mentally sound, quite a few times she's been broken completely by her own instability, most disastrously back in 1791.

Familial Relationships:
England is France's lover of choice, and with him, France has had two children, Canada and India. With Spain, she also had Haiti. And, though she tries to hide it, she has had one child with Germany... somehow, New Ireland in New Guinea. Among her other children include a veritable smorgasbord of countries in Africa and a few islands in the Caribbean.

Other: This plays every time she enters a room

Name: The British Empire



Allegiance: Entende.

Personality: Regal. Powerful. Commanding. The British Empire doesn't have a lot of time left on the clock, but you wouldn't guess that by looking at him. There is nobody who doesn't know him, few that don't fear him, and he can use this to his advantage, domineering any room that he enters, and when it comes to the fields of war...

Likes: Oddly enough, Britain firmly believes in a sense of playing fair and not using dirty and underhanded tricks to get an advantage. He also has his eyes set upon a permenant legacy born in glory, and, of course, can find no fault with a nice cuppa tea.

Dislikes: If there's two things Britain can't stand, it's the growing sense of powerlessness he has from his colonies escaping his grasp, and the incorrect pronounciation of 'scone.' (It should be said sc-O-ne, not sc-on.)

Special Talent:

The Warmaster:
Britain has several million men from across the globe to call on, some of the best professional soldiers in the world, one of the hands-down most powerful navies ever to sail the seas, and some of the most venerable institutions of educating officers in the world. In short, he oozes military prowess.

Respected:
It takes a special kind of country to dare to stand up to the full might of the Empire, even in the wane of the glory days.

Weaknesses:

Traditional:
Britain is slow to take up new tactics and equipment, and slower still to implement them in a way that allows for mass production. He regards machine guns as nothing more than parlour toys, despite the usefulness of the maxim gun, and scorns the idea of semi-automatic sidearms.

Professional Army:
The Empire does not enforce conscription, and instead relies on a small traditional army. Whilst effective, until DORA passes and conscription is enforced, he simply doesn't have the same amount of troops.

Familial Relationships:
Litterally everyone in the world. The Enpire is known as the 'Empire on which the sun never sets' for a damned good reason, and he has family from North America to sub-saharan Africa, Asia to Australasia. The only continent he doesn't have some sort of relation in is the Antartic, and he wad the second person to get to the pole anyway.
Special mentions:
France, as his longstanding partner. Despite their arguments and spats, the two love each other really.
Canada, America and Australia as his favourite children.

Other: Nobody knows John's actual name, as several thousand years has left him with one so bloated and over-the-top that even he admits he can't remember half of it.

Name: Austria

Appearance:

Allegiance: central powers

Personality: She firmly believes in the motto "Indivisible and Inseparable". Coming from Holy Roman Empire , she considers herself it cultural successor, but as well always being highly multicultural. It lead to her being proficient in dialog, debate and balancing acts between different sides. It was only natural from her view that she would join in a marriage with Hungary to further assist and help their people. Working together proved beneficial to everyone.

She is the type who will do what has to be done for the greater good of her home. Even if some parties may dislike her afterwards she is confident they would see reason and the foresight she had in the long run.

She isnt shying from competing with the world. She isnt considered a great power for nothing. Being second biggest in Europe, (after Russia), being the third most populous (after Russia and the Germany). She built up the fourth-largest machine building industry of the world.(after the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.) Together with Hungary they also became the world's third largest manufacturer and exporter of electric home appliances, electric industrial appliances and power generation apparatus for power plants.(after the United States and the German Empire.)

She finds it her duty to point this things out, just because they arent holding a first place for something doesnt mean they arent great any longer. Question her status, and she will silently dislike you. Manage to irritate her enough and she will start using all the richest of her multicultural knowledge to curse you in mix of over 10 languages. Except the language that the one on the receiving end would understand.

She is a lady, elegant, gently, intuitive, at least that how she would describe herself. She is a excellent dancer, knows to play pretty much any instrument she managed to get her hands on. She values fine arts, being home to several world changing artist. And she knows exactly how to dress to take the breath out of everyone lungs. A skill she learned early on, and used it to her advantage, to further her goals. But in her wardrobe beside a wide collection of dresses there are soldiers uniforms.

She knows how to fight and is involved in her military, though she prefers to join fights only when she is sure she will win them. And she would love to win them quickly.

Likes:
Arts.
Being respected.
Germany power.
Peaceful walks in the garden.
Hungary when they are romantic towards her.
Having people try to earn her respect.

Dislikes:
Weakness.
Having to deal with absurdity.
Headache caused by the Balkans.
Vampires(look in other 1.).

Special Talent:

Multicultural: Having a cosmopolitan bureaucracy, in which Czechs played an important role, backed by loyal elements, including a large part of the German, Hungarian, Polish and Croat aristocracy, allows her to see all the views and judge which one is the most beneficial for them all. This also means she knows a lot of their cultural elements and myths. And can predict their behaviour more or less correctly.

Weaknesses:

Underestimating: Thinking of herself so highly she tends to get blindsided of some problems, and underestimate her opponents. Which can take her by surprise when they show their full potential.

Lets join: Its means if you have many ally with you under the same roof, no one can stop you combined strength. As the second in so many things she is the best ally one can wish. Maybe soon she will become first in some fields. So who wouldnt want to be part of her home? Of course this view is more damaging to her than she truly realizes. As each side pulls to gain more for themself, while other sides dont want to stay joined, and would much like to leave. Which isnt an option in Austria eyes.

Familial Relationships:

Germany: Her niece, a extremely unruly child that has yet to earn experience and learn about the world in Austria opinion. Maybe Austria is slightly jealous of their fast progress, but that isnt something she would ever willingly admit. But she always tries to be polite to them and shamelessly would use any method to manipulate Germany to see things her ways. Which includes flattering her when needing. Austria is sure Germany will thank them for being instrumental in their plans in the long run.

France: They kinda distant relatives.....They dont get exactly along. Especially not after napoleon wars. But for now they can have civil conversation about newest fashions.

Hungary: Her husband, they have their sweet moments but as well they problems like every couple would. She relies on them to balance her own views out.

Croatia: They were ideas to elevate Croatia to a third monarchy, which would meant a three way marriage. (She wasnt eager to hear France opinions about three ways, she knew would come the moment that tidbit reached the nation.) The proposal maybe a way to increase the stability of her home. But that idea is frozen at the moment, so they are sort of not so much proposed at the moment? Depending on which nation you ask. Hungary says a clear no, Croatia says yes, and Austria is will see after they dealt with the recent crises. Austria plans to then definitely decide on the way that will play out.

Bosnia: Her adoptive child. Was put in her care after 1878, Serbia wasnt able to care for the kid at that time, so Austria as generous lady that she is, did it for them. It was fully annexed in 1908, officially adopting them in her family. For some unexplained reason that ruined the neutral to good relationship with her neighbour. And he is yelling a lot at her, truly not a good influence on a child. So it only natural she limits their interactions.

Other:
1.Paole's case, similar to that of Petar Blagojevich, became famous because of the direct involvement of the Austrian authorities and the documentation by Austrian physicians and officers, who confirmed the reality of vampires. Their report of the case she disrupted to the wester Europe as a warning of the danger. (And contributed to the spread of vampire belief among educated Europeans. ) Its one of the reasons she spent a few years carrying garlic with her, wrapped tightly up so it wouldnt smell. #BlameSerbia

Later on, Japan gets really obsessed with herself and falls out with the West. She gets very arrogant and irate, wallowing in her medieval memories. She feels very guilty for changing herself so much so quickly and lifts the ban on the construction of traditional katana. She unsheathes her own Imperial Blade and descends upon China, overreacting to a misunderstanding. She also begins to call herself a "Greater Empire" and begins promising liberty to the Asian nations. The world heats up and she allies with Germany and Italy - and the rest is history.

Following her defeat in the Great War, Osmani begins to realize how far she has fallen from grace, and devotes herself to westernization, abandoning the traditional way that has been failing her, and rebuilding herself in a western image, and dropping her old name, Osmani, for a new one, Turkey.

Name: Jeane Dubois- Belgium

Allegiance: Firmly Entende

Personality: Belgium is young, naïve and immature, yet also dedicated and determined to protect herself from attacks. Despite her young age, she’s grown up in the midst of fire and genocide, and has already demonstrated her vicious side more than once.

Likes: Belgium has an excellent relationship with America and for good reason- both are obsessed with FREEDOM. She’s firmly against anything that might take her uniqueness and independence away from her, and as such she has a purely antagonistic relationship with her cousin Germany. As well as this, she has a sweet tooth a mile wide, and adores chocolate. Like, really, really loves chocolate. To a degree that makes Germany’s daddy issues look normal.

Dislikes: Belgium has one major issue. Anyone that tries to take FREEDOM (or her chocolate,) away from her. She also has a really bad relationship with Germany, and is pretty insecure about how small she is.

Special Talent:

Always underestimated:
Belgium’s sheer determination and courage means that people expecting the small country to roll over and eat out of their hands will be sorley disappointed and held back by a volley of bolt-action fire. She also has friends in high places, including with Britain, France, and more.

Weaknesses:

Suck in the Middle With You:
Belgium is in an unfortunate geographical area, placed in the perfect area for any attacks by Germany and France. With the militaristic ambitions of Germany, this is unlikely to end up as being a positive for her.

Familial Relationships:
Belgium has no direct family other than her technical father, England, although she does have a number of cousins and ‘It’s complicated’ relationships, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and more German countries.
