Going My Way [America]

[America]

BASIC INFO

Name: America [Alfred F. Jones]

Gender: Male

Appearance: America has short, dirty-blond hair with one unruly strand that curves upward. His eyes are a light blue and he wears glasses. Rather tall and muscular.

Personality:

-America is cheerful. That's a given. He's cheerful and he really does want to spread his good attitude and optimism around to the other nations, especially in their time of need. However, he himself will get glum every so often. He hates the sense of hopelessness that washes over him whenever he looks at the ruined landscape of Canada, and he hates the fact that this war isn't won like the others wars have been won. His cheerful demeanor will drop every so often, will waver and falter, but he truly does all in his power to keep up a smile.

-He loves his nation and all that comes with it. That's why he fights so hard. Not just to be noble and heroic, but also to bring his own country back the way it used to be. He hates the fact that everything he worked so hard to achieve in his past is now in complete ruins. He hates the fact that he has to start all over again with the knowledge that he might not ever be the same once he's finished. But he continues forward, because he has complete faith in his nation, in himself.

-As the zombie apocalypse is taking place in North America, he’s worried about the future of his precious country. There aren’t any citizens left anymore, save for the very few still clinging to their flags over in Europe, and he doesn’t know what will happen to him after all the zombies are gone.

-He isn’t as strong as he once was. His strength was based off of his population, patriotic citizens, and, most importantly, his military. With all three of these gone, his strength has dwindled. This causes him to become exhausted more quickly and to find those things he used to be able to do with ease now much harder to accomplish.

-He is very outgoing. It might just be the childish innocence, but he truly does love to talk to people. He can't stand awkwardly next to someone- nope, he will strike up a conversation with them. And though he is arrogant and adores talking about himself, he is more than willing to put that aside and ask people questions about their own life. He pays attention to everything, too, from their favorite color to the recent death in their family. He does the same with nations, though to less of an extreme (mostly because nations tend to keep secrets and tend to not want to spill anything to him, anyway).

-America is quite childish. Supposedly because he is still a child, but also because he's seen the adult life of the other nations, and he doesn't exactly agree with the seriousness that comes with it. He liked being a child and having no worries and cares, and he clings to that the best he knows how to- by acting childish.

-To go along with the childish attitude, he has a hero complex the size of his ego. All children love superheroes, right? America is no different. He loves the idea of being able to help people, being able to see that gratitude in their eyes as they look up to him. He likes the feeling of people leaning on him to guide them away from their troubles. He wants to feel like he's useful, just like any child or childish man.

-He is a dreamer. This is where most of his completely ridiculous ideas come from, but he loves to dream. He loves to put those dreams into action. He loves to imagine a perfect world, one that can be suitable for all people, no matter what. Of course, he's not stupid- he knows he can't achieve that. He wants to, and thus the reason for all his crazy ideas; he just wants to help the world out some. (Granted, his ideas are usually rather silly, but he tries, and trying is good, yes?)

-Being the dreamer that he is, he only believes people (or nations) should have sex out of love. Therefore, he’s rather innocent when it comes to the sexual realm of the world. In other words, England is the only country he has slept with (and he’d rather keep it that way).

-He doesn’t think before he speaks. Sometimes, he won’t mean anything to come out rude, but because there doesn’t seem to be a filter in his brain, he usually says something he doesn’t want to say.

-He’s sensitive about his weight. That’s not to say he’s fat, but the amount he eats causes others to tease him. Of course, since the nations have to ration their food more, he actually hasn’t been as worried about it as usual.

-Back in the World Wars, he used to smoke quite often. However, once he learned it was dangerous to one’s health, he quickly stopped, and now hates anything having to do with cigarettes.

-He’s still scared of horror movies. Since he’s actually living in one now, he’s even more scared, and not just of what he sees on television. Nor his senses are ultra-alert, and he’ll often wake up in the middle of the night from horrid nightmares. Of course, he tries not to let the others know, since he’s well aware he’ll just have to get used to it and that bothering others would just make their whole situation a lot more annoying.

Relations with other chars:

England: Currently dating England. Because he doesn't want to screw things up (and, though he won't admit it, because he is far less experienced in dating and such than England is), he is rather content with taking the relationship slow and steady.

Canada: Very good friends with Canada, since they are brothers and whatnot. They do irritate each other from time to time, as all siblings do, but they seem to repair their relationship quickly. America views Canada as one of his closest friends.

Japan: Another good friend, also one of America's closest. They've been through quite a lot together, but their relationship is currently very strong.

Russia: Someone America considers to be his mortal enemy, even if The Cold War did end a long time ago. These two clash constantly and they can never seem to get along. America refers to him as many mean names, including 'Commie' and 'Idiot'.

Norway: His relationship with Norway is a little strained. Since America is very overprotective of Canada, he views Norway as a threat to Canada's well-being. He also hates the fact that Canada is spending more time with Norway than he is with America.

Lithuania: As they lived together for some time, America's relationship with Lithuania is very strong. Their personalities clash, but America never fails to view him as one of his best friends.

[from my story 'A Dozen Ways to Be a Hero']

When Canada brought him outside, America was doing two things at the same time; nursing a black eye and trying not to hurl anymore. "There, there," Canada muttered. "Geez, for all their talk about not noticing, they sure were quick in making me the one who has to take care of you."

America simply groaned. "I hate my life."

"Rightly so." His northern brother frowned. "What on earth were you thinking, Al? We both know that England's scones are horrible abominations, yet you go off and eat them anyway?" He slung America's arm over his shoulder, trying to keep him from falling. "Are you drunk or something?"

With a wince, America whispered, "Or something. And, don't mention his scones to me. Ever. Again."

"Then answer my question."

"I don't have to-"

"Scones!" Canada called out. "Scones scones scones!"

His amusement was short-lived, though, for he had to deal with America emptying his stomach once more. Once the blond nation was able to straighten without hacking up the rest of England's failed cooking, he quickly mumbled, "I wanted to be heroic."

Canada sighed, moving away from the sick pile and hoping Spain wouldn't be too angry about that. "Yeah, because the most heroic thing to do would be to eat England's scones. Right. Dammit, why can't I find my car?"

"Well, England was upset..." America took a deep breath before continuing. "And heroes don't let people get upset."

"Sure, let's not take into account that England is always upset," Canada grumbled, tired that he was always stuck on the job of babysitting America.

ABOUT THE ROLEPLAYER

About yourself: Hm...I'm seventeen years of age and I live in the south of America, good ol' NC. I'm obsessed with American history (mostly the Civil War, and those that have been around for a while know me and my Civil War) and the wonderful Internet. I love my kitties. I really love my kitties. I also love meat, America (the country itself), politics, bowties, fedoras, and children movies. I am a lady of Sealand (no joke). Bow down to me.

Pairing friendly?: I LOVE- USUK, Spamano, FrUK, basically anything FACE, FrUS, and I'm up for all Prussia, Romano, and England pairings. I'M NOT TOO FOND OF- Germancest, Itacest, AmeCan, RusAme, or PruAus, but I can deal with them (meaning I won't go into a rage and quit and I won't bash it if you choose one of these). Really, though, I can deal with all and any pairings.
