CHARACTER
NAME: Alfred F. Jones / United States of America.
CANON: Axis Powers Hetalia.
CANON POINT: End of the Year 2019.
AGE: Physically and mentally 19; Actually 243 after his "rebirth" when America became independent.
BACKGROUND: As the youngsters say nowadays, YEET.

PERSONALITY:
First off, America is very much an in-your-face type of character. He's 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. 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 sometimes 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. Yep. That's America.

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 only to know more and all around bring attention to himself. 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. Yeah. He can be an asshole at times and not even realize it. Evidence for this is getting involved in politics 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. It's hard to understand him sometimes, and Alfred doesn't even take notice to that or take time to cool his jets. Trust me, he's a lot.

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, and somebody needs to be the hero."

A lot of the time, Alfred will do things just to bring attention and praise to himself, especially if he can see himself benefiting from it.. which leads 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.

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 things.. he very much fixates on certain things to occupy his mind. 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.

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!"


POWERS/ABILITIES:
✓ Super-Strength: It's known that America can at least lift a car with his strength— just holding the front bumper with his hand and dragging it around. He can lift heavy objects and started doing this at a young age when he would wrestle buffalo as a kid. America has stopped a moving vehicle with his toes alone.

✓ Tech & Space Savvy: He especially helped Estonia seek out who was responsible for hacking the internet in season 5. This also goes hand and hand with science knowledge and the ability to invent little trinkets. America would be able to hack a computer to a certain limit and understand how to code certain technologies. Also, y'know, he's been to the moon.

✓ Weapon Knowledge: He's used a lot of guns and explosives in his time, so count him in if it means blowing something up.

✓ Nation-Immorality: Nations cannot die by typical means as a human would, but rather die when their land masses change to another and their culture is completely lost. They are also fast healing when they are injured.


INVENTORY:

✓ (1.) Vintage bomber jacket from the 1940's.
✓ (2.) A Nintendo Switch with Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
✓ (3.) An AK-47. Just.. because.
✓ (4.) Sidekick alien companion, Tony. (He is small, maybe just under three feet.. I brought him last time I apped.)
✓ (5.) Extra ammo.
✓ (6.) An electric guitar.


MOONBLESSING: Sanguis (Golden Retriever.)
