MUN NAME: Kristine
OOC CONTACT: thoughtbubble
TIME ZONE: Pacific US
CHARACTER: America (Alfred)
CANON: Axis Power Hetalia
CURRENT HAPPENINGS:
♦Slowly but surely he's been collecting info on the city. He was one of the first to arrive so he might be a good person to bug for details.
♦Right now he's in both park event logs. You are welcome to tag him there.
♦Things your character might find interesting about America: what he is (his connection with his country) and his history, he has super strength, and he's super loud and obnoxious friendly and outgoing

NOTES:
♦I want all the CR! GIMME GIMME! Really, don't be afraid to tag me. If there's something you'd like to see America involved in give me a link. I'm always open to plotting.
♦Maybe once he's gotten to be good friends with your character, he'll let them call him by his other name, "Alfred."

And these are on the more heavy side...
♦For those of you okay with the AmeCan elements involved I'd like a third party to notice his secret feelings for Canada (Matthew) and give their input. He could use some moral support. I think it could be really funny (ie "lemme give you dating advice") or perhaps it could lead to some deep and interesting conversation (see next note). (Or go terribly wrong, who knows.) Yes, yes, shippers on deck welcome. /shot Guilty pleasure but I know you want it too for your ships. Don't lie.
♦I love seeing characters grow over the course of games. America has some "secret" insecurities that perhaps some new friends could help him out with. (I already have plans for him to talk to Rin about his insecurity over his sexual orientation. Others could have a talk with him about this subject.) Of course if you think your character could learn a little something from him, do tell.

Just for the record, I don't mind you... semi-fourthwalling Robin. If you think America reads American comics, I don't mind if he recognizes Robin, so long as Robin isn't told he's fictional.

I don't know enough about Hetalia to know if it would work like that, though, I'm just throwing out the idea.

[hamburgerhero]

America definitely loves comics and superheroes. He has actually dressed up as Batman in canon. (And he suckered England into being Robin.) I've generally been approaching these sort of situations where he notices that the character he's face to face with is similar to something from back home, but he doesn't actually fourth wall them. (ie when he met one of the Tranformers he went "ooh a real tranforming robot alien just like from the movies" not "you're a character from the movies back home") So Robin will be "a real costumed crime fighter like from the comics I read back home."

[staystraught]

Cool. I just figured I'd throw out the possibility, because he'd be used to being recognized, and it's not really fair of me to say no one can know who he is because he's been in the zeitgeist since 1940. |D I MEAN YOU SAW THE ROBIN DOLL IN THE PILOT RIGHT.

Would he want to play with the grappling hook or something?

[hamburgerhero]

lol Yeah Robin's definitely a classic part of American pop culture. XD

Definitely. Any thing cool like the grappling hook would make America's day. On the flip side of his childish enthusiasm and sometimes stupidity, America knows to respect equipment so Rob wouldn't have to worry about him running off with it and shooting it at people. Unless you want that to happen by accident.

[staystraught]

...well, even if he doesn't shoot at people. There are those voice-recording birdarang disky things.

I feel like those have a lot of potential for stupid things.

[hamburgerhero]

lol Next time Robin is out fighting crime he tries to trick the bad guys with a recording of him laughing but instead it's the sound of America shouting "FREEDOM!"

So much stupidity- we really should do it. It would be a shame not to. America's really a dork so there's plenty Rob can tease him for and he's dopey enough he could be trolled more than other people depending on the subject. Not to mention with their mutual sort of curiosity I'm sure they could have very silly random conversations about superheroes' experiences at the gym and what cereal would have been Lincoln's favorite.

[staystraught]

and then he has to go back and re-record. all of them. so america has to come in and MAKE HIM LAUGH

oh yes. YOU KNOW HE CAN GO ON FOREVER ABOUT STUPID THINGS. He's got enough general knowledge thanks to traveling with circus + general Batman be-preparedness that he can just. yes.

[hamburgerhero]

America would be so disappointed that Robin isn't into the freedom call idea. "I bet the Justice League you were talking about supports freedom."

ASK ALL THE STUPID QUESTIONS.

A description of Hetalia for those who are canon blind ;3

[hamburgerhero]

Hetalia in its original form is a webcomic with a cast made up of human representations of countries. One could say the characters are like gijinkas for territories. They each embody several qualities common to their people but they also have their own free wills and additional personality traits that make them their own unique selves. The nation characters live at least as long as their country or territory exists, physically aging at varying rates based on national power and population. Most characters are easily over a hundred years old but have the body of a young adult. It is unclear exactly how a nation can die but it is possible at least for them to “disappear.”

Hetalia is a comedy (mostly), poking fun at the facepalm moments of history and serving up culture shock jokes. Characters interact in ways that vaguely represent historical events or simply end up in comedic situations together. At the same time, the series has its serious moments, addressing issues such as the nation characters’ experiences with loss and war, the confusion of being human but not human at the same time, and immortality in a changing world. Perhaps a better description for the cast of Hetalia would be “spirits of the nations.”

'Merica had Looma's attention at Super Strength. She must test the extent of this at some point.

And by that I mean she'll either pick a fight with him point-blank, or he can notice one of her many, many, many jerk-ish moments and it can escalate from there. Because she'll probably just add fuel to the fire, because the poor girl's about as sociable as an angry rhinoceros covered in bees.

Angry bees.

[hamburgerhero]

lol Well America has already gone all righteous on Deadlock's metal behind for saying something mean. If he hears a snide remark from this one he might step in there. He's definitely Mr. Stick-up-for-the-underdog so a bully? He's not going to let that pass. Plus he has a hero-complex so he loves to step in and save others.

[sweettalker]

I can't really think of anything to say. I'm just... hypnotized by that icon. 8|

[hamburgerhero]

America's hips don't lie.

*says that every time someone comments on the icon*
