BASIC INFO
Name: Russia [Ivan Braginsky]
Gender: Male
Appearance: A freakishly tall bundle of childishness and intimidation, he is very rarely seen without the tan scarf around his neck and his long heavy trench coat,secretly stocked up with the weapons he uses and a bottle of vodka or two. Purple eyes hold emotion better than his smile does, long-ish snowy-blond hair on his head.
Personality:
Ivan has an outwardly friendly, big-hearted demeanor that masks the epitome of someone who has been tweaked by torture and tragedy in his past. Upon first impression, he is generally open to meeting new people and decides at his own rate whether or not he will allow them to become close. However, he acts as if there are little to no boundaries of personal space when it comes to others and often will come as close and possessive as he feels suit without paying any mind to how uneasy it may cause someone to become.
After seeing the loss of his mother unfold before his eyes, the childhood that followed after and the early years of adolescence were times of bloodshed and the sequences of unfortunate events to befall his home land. Seeing the Motherland frequently slip into the hands of those who caused only strife among the nation and the death of its people took a permanent toll on Ivan's mind. Having had a lack of parental figures he took comfort in his sisters, though nowadays he still believes his family to be rather dysfunctional and the very thought of his only two siblings leads him to depression. General Winter, the source of the burden that is a cold winter every year in Russia was the closest to a fatherly figure Ivan had, despite Ivan's usual dislike toward him in response to the haunting he goes through each year. The General had however proven himself handy as an ally in war.
Ivan has a tendency of causing fear and discomfort in nearly everyone that he comes near, most often by carrying around this dreadful aura about him even when he is not intending it. Apprehension can strike even when he doesn't speak anything, and yet he is unaware of his behavior himself – any claims to how frightening he can be he will deny with a reaction of confusion and hurt that he was accused of such. He has a childish disposition and cruelty to him that leads to an unhealthy obsession with causing pain and terror in others whenever he so wishes to, pleased to see pained reactions from those whom he carries an ill will toward just as well as it pleases him to see a genuine smile from anyone.
Relations with other chars: There aren't many that he won't become fond of. He has a strange interest in China, and quite likes teasing those who were once under his control. But his relationship with Prussia is quite bitter. Those two are like baking soda and vinegar. Put them together and something will 'splode.
AU-RELATED
Short range weapon of choice: Iron pipe. Just about anything that's solid will do.
Long range weapon of choice: Assault rifle
Duty position of your choice: Front-Liner
Bunk of choice: Bottom (He'll feel like the top bunk will break on him..)
OBLIGATORY FILLING
Sample RP test:
To him there was nothing that stood out about how they were acting toward each other, making it out as just as normal a situation as anything else. He wasn't exactly thinking about it in the first place, much more absorbed in the immediate interest they seemed to have in each other, and how he found himself almost drawn to the way the other man was acting. He seemed so gentle and careful in his actions and naturally timid and quiet, from what he had seen so far, and he couldn't help taking a liking to that.
Even if the conversation were to end there like that, at this point he wouldn't have been keen on the two turning and going on their separate ways and would possibly try and keep him here by any means. His own smile had grown all the more in tune with the other's, catching the happy, content vibes coming from the other blond in sync with his own - and, aside from that, the apology went verbally unanswered.
Although he could feel his hair grazing gently against his forehead from the breeze, it was nothing compared to the harsher weather he was so used to and went just barely noticed. Again, eyes flickered onto the curled strand moving obviously with the wind, looking like it was going to detach any moment.. but it again got away with receiving any attention when his own attention returned back to their conversation. The sudden change of subject didn't seem to bother him either, as he was purposely looking for something for them to continue talking about. "Ah?" he started in his childish voice, "You do not? I have always wished to live somewhere warm. Living in the cold all of the time is like a nightmare. And I rarely get to see beaches."
The increasing smile on the blond's soft features pleased him all the more, almost not even noticing that he was beginning to rise on the tip of his toes. Amethyst eyes were quickly following the thumb, however, as it reached just above them, feeling it so gently swipe those pesky strands of snowy-blond hair out of the way. He blinked a few times and felt a small shiver down his spine from the sincerity of the smaller boy's move, followed afterward by a short giggle falling from the Russian's lips. "My name~?" he said as if he forgot they haven't even introduced themselves yet. "It is Ivan, and what is yours?"
One hand had thrust itself into the Canadian's and gave it a forceful handshake, while the other couldn't help but lift up and take hold of that curl between his thumb and index finger, giving it a little pull. "And what's this~?"
Code in the rules: [Validated by "Nice picture, quite impressive <3"]
ABOUT THE ROLEPLAYER
About yourself: You can just call me Russia or Vanya! Uhm, I know a very lot of the language and the culture and history of the actual country, and aside from that, I like classic rock music, writing, drawing, and world history in general.
Pairing friendly?: I could go on all day ranting about the pairings I like and dislike, so I'll just say RoChu is my favorite and I hate RusPrus and RusAme~
Personal note to anyone reading your application: I'm looking forward to meeting/roleplaying with you all, and I'll try my best to stay active. :3
