Characters played in Zodion: Currenly plays Jake English from Homestuck.
✖ CHARACTER:
Name: Alfred F. Jones / America.
Canon: Axis Powers Hetalia.
PB/Image: WWII Outfit | Casual | Official Artwork
Info links: Wiki Link: Hetalia Series | Hetalia Wiki: America
Canon Point: Current times, 2013.
Gender & Sex: Male/Male.
Age: Technically he is 237 years old as of this July 4th of this year. However, he is bodily and mentally aged as about 19 according to canon.
Birthdate/Sign: Birthdates are sort of different and interesting in Hetalia. It is usually on a very important date that is considered their birthday. In America's case, his birthday is July 4th, 1776. Even if he technically existed then, he was declared independent and went through a sort of re-birthing process from colonial America to independent America. This makes him a Cancer sign.
Tattoo: 3 inches wide, 2.5 inches height across his right pectoral right under his collarbone.
Suitability: Considering America is a very young country who is also a superpower, I would say he is pretty independent and can handle certain situations. He broke away from England's rule at a very young age and still insists on taking leadership as demonstrated in the series. For a nation so youthful in comparison to the rest, he has certainly developed to be a very important individual in the nation world, and all on his own. It's explained he grew up faster than any of the other countries in a brief strip where England comes home and finds America his height when he was a child when he left. In this time, he went through the hardships of developing his own government and law that upholds freedom, but also brought many clever inventions into the world. Yep. America can take care of himself, even if he sticks his nose in business and gets in trouble.
The lifestyle in Zodion will be interesting. It is definitely something he can warm up to, but it may be problematic at first since new things unnerve him. However, America is all about progressing forward and change. He will adapt soon enough and find the idea of sleeping around pretty awesome... once he knows what he is doing. (He'll use tome tips France gave him during the Revolutionary War, sure.)
Power: America will have no canon power or anything of that nature. Instead, he will take the healing power from the water elements.
Personality:
Often loud and boisterous, everybody he knows recognizes his voice and laughter before he's even in sight. Yes, probably the most obvious qualities of Alfred's personality is his incredible loudness and energy. It's practically unreal how energetic and noisy he can be; he's like a big kid, really, and taking that into account, he's very much naive still. Being naive, you will get a lot of curious question marks or bad interpretation when communicating with him. However, he will not admit how naive he is and try to impress other with his knowledge by lying or pretending he knows exactly what you're talking about or what he, himself, is actually doing when he really doesn't. This is all part of him being incredibly egotistical, along with wanting to fit in and accepted by everybody by impressing them. His ego is, in fact, one of the largest in the Hetalia cast, and he makes no effort to really hide it. This usually consists of boasting and bragging, but also by the way he considers himself the first and very best in possibly everything ever.
It can get irritating sometimes at how dense he can be, if his curiosity doesn't. Alfred usually sticks his nose and gets involved in everybody's business when it really isn't relevant to him. The reason for this is he mainly wants to impress other people as previously stated, or somehow bring glory to himself, other than actually caring for them. Evidence for this is getting involved in wars he's not a part of, or meddling with other countries and their business (as demonstrated in an episode where America interrupted England performing black magic.) You could be standing there and talking to somebody for some time before he pops up and questions what you're doing, who you are, explain who he is, etc, etc-- all very fast paced and hard to comprehend sometimes, and he's blissfully unaware he has a hard time communicating.
Alfred is stubborn like an ox and will often put things in denial for his pride's sake, even if it doesn't make sense. He's very much independent in his own mind, and will reject most help that is offered to him on the first try. This is caused by some odd independent complex he developed after the revolution. However, he'll eventually open up and allow assistance, but quickly cover up with an excuse like "I'm only letting you do this because you're so and so-- I'm independent!" He'll allow others to assist him but "only because they're my backup."
Another trait that is obvious is his complaining, seeing as he is pretty much a wealthy and spoiled nation. When things don't quite go his way, he'll complain and complain and complain and complain instead of trying to find a solution first. After awhile of procrastinating, America will finally work hard to find a solution to his problem, usually jumping the gun and taking the easiest route out. Speaking of jumping the gun, he very much bases his decisions on an act of impulse in most cases instead of sitting down and thinking things through first, which leads him into even more trouble, and MORE complaining, until he's just outright furious and having a tantrum like a kid. Oh, and he won't blame himself-- for anything. It's usually a "Communist" or "England's" fault. This is possibly because he does his deal of grudge holding, which is another immature and negative trait in regards to his personality.
He's extremely paranoid, especially of other nations when they threaten him. In fact, he will refuse to breathe the same air of a Communist, more specifically members of the former USSR (an exaggeration, but you get the idea.) If he senses danger on himself, he will think of himself only and do whatever he can to protect himself-- first. This is often countered by his hero complex where he thinks he has to save everything ever in order to feel satisfied. It's a handy trait for him to have, actually, except when he gets annoying or in the way. Rescuing himself is a priority, though he wouldn't mind dying or getting injured in the at of heroism, or doing something noble just to obtain glory and self satisfaction...
Which leads me to his arrogance. Oh boy, is Alfred arrogant. Everything revolves around America. He's inconsiderate and often rude without really realizing it, usually shown by his constant "me" talk, or being very demanding and whining towards other people he is in contact with.
Even if he shows signs of flirtation, it's all just him trying to be the bees knees and show off. He's really not that romantic. The last thing he wants to think about is a relationship with somebody, to be honest. He would much rather blow stuff up or shoot at things or play video games or something. If anything, you'll get awkward, inexperienced making out with him, followed by cockiness after wards. Think of it as a hormonal teenager who just had sex; that would be America.
All that negativity aside, Alfred has a bunch of good aspects too. He will have these in depth moments of concern and care towards an individual and show extreme loyalty to them depending on the situation. If somebody needs help and he's not preoccupied, you can count on Alfred to be helpful in that way and hardworking. It's pretty easy to be his friend, and once you have reached a level of friendship, he will usually stick by you since he's rather desperate for friendships and being accepted.
He's usually a perky and happy person, which sometimes can spread and affect others. If his chattering doesn't irritate a person, you can guarantee he'll talk to you and be hospitable, sometimes not leaving you alone.
His hero complex is another thing. He's very obsessive about heroes, or explosions, food, sci-fi. I guess you could call it a catch phrase, but he often says "cause I'm a hero!" as an excuse for things, even if it makes no sense. The very mentioning of the word will peek his interest, if not have him barge into your private conversation.
There are a few subjects Alfred is sensitive about, and that's mainly talk about the American Revolution, which he still holds grudges about, and which is still a sad thing for him to dwell on as demonstrated in the series when he had to clean out his closet; a sign he gets very nostalgic. However, he will not admit that, and say he regrets nothing, mainly to comfort himself. Other topics include his hypersensitive reaction to talk about his weight or the mentioning of supernatural beings, namely ghosts. Both upsetting topics have been shown in the series such as when he visited countries to learn how to diet since England convinced him he was fat, or when he proceeded to watch a scary movie with Japan so he could "piss himself." Nothing else really scares him too much, showing immense bravery and heroic demeanor, but anything about ghosts will have him crying, and any teasing over his weight will upset him immensely. Even if you're just using the word "big" to describe something else about him-- or even something not even relevant to him, he will still easily get offended by the silliest things.
All that aside, I'll also make note America is spontaneous and will do things without rhyme or reason, usually just because he's "bored", or seemed like a good idea at the time. Examples of such ideas is refusing to wear clothes for a day, or putting gun powder into a toilet and setting it a light for his amusement. Alfred has to constantly be entertained, or else he would flip tables and do whatever he can at the time to be occupied. At times such as these you see his unearthly amount of immaturity, but also a sort of endearing way of creativity. People consider America to be unintelligent, when that really isn't the case. He's very smart, particularly with computers and science considering some of the most successful inventions come from America. However, consider him to be ignorant about a subject if it doesn't concern him because frankly, he really doesn't care unless it does in most cases. That is why he doesn't care about what the European map looks like besides the fact that "it has a giant boot on it!"

"Zodionlogs" Third-Person Prose Entry:
Being taken away from his bedside before an important meeting with his leader that day was not what America expected when he woke drowsily from his slumber. At first, America writhed, cringing as he felt a burning sensation over his chest. Eh, It was probably heartburn or something of that nature. Most health conditions he sort of shrugged off, and as of late, he kept coming down with a sickness, so it was nothing to much to be fussed about.
It was only when the pain intensified, and he realized this wasn't over his heart, but on the other side of his chest. America sat up, taking a moment to clench and rub over his skin where the mark had formed, pearly whites gritting as he felt himself etched into a brand.
When the feeling subsided, America peered down at his new addition to his tanned skin, and his brows reached above his forehead.
"69!? Hahahaha, no shit! That's... hilarious!"
It was typical for him to take things lightheartedly at first and find amusement in it, but as America gradually gathered his thoughts, the more he felt insecure. America fell back on his pillow, seeming rather amused with his circumstance as he chuckled, slowly regaining his consciousness and awareness. Maybe.. this wasn't the greatest of all situations. At this revelation, worry slowly crept across his face as he shifted, thinking quietly to himself as to what sort of happened. His memory is blank. This was not good. This instantly meant to him that he was threatened, and somebody was after him.
Panic rushed over him in an abrupt wave, blue eyes scanning over the paintings and visuals on the ceiling. He was completely awake now.
America sat up again, frantically looking about the room.
"No-- but seriously! Hah, what the hell is this!? Dude, if I've totally been abducted by aliens or something like that, now isn't the time for this! I've got an important meeting to attend to the next day! Surely this isn't Tony's fault, hahah-- right?"
America was talking to himself. It was a frequent occurrence for him to blurt out his inner thoughts into speech. Somehow, this made him feel a little but more comforted, or that he was some kind of major action hero spouting off important dialogue for the viewers. Yeah.
He stood to his feet, looking around and gathering whatever belongings he possessed. Some sort of weird device followed by a letter. Never mind the fact he was in Superman PJ bottoms.
The letter was skimmed, seeing as about a few lines into reading it he found it boring, but also the fact that it sent him into a panic. In no time, he was running out the door and into the city, adrenaline pumping through his body.
Help save a city? Sure. He's game for helping and saving people. But first, he had a million questions to ask, and he would soon find that out by contacting those on the other side of the device he had obtained.
